lscape and supertabular in Latex - latex

I would like to put pictures into a supertabular table within lscape enviroment. The code is:
\newcounter{themenumber}
\newcounter{classnumber}
\newcounter{imagenumber}
\tablefirsthead{
\hline
\backslashbox{Concept}{Class} &\multicolumn{3}{|c|}{Class 0} & \multicolumn{3}{|c|}{Class 1} \\ %\textbf{A} & \textbf{B}\\
\hline}
\tablehead{
\hline
\multicolumn{7}{|l|}{\small\sl continued from previous page}\\
\hline
\backslashbox{Concept}{Class} &\multicolumn{3}{|c|}{Class 0} & \multicolumn{3}{|c|}{Class 1} \\ %\textbf{A} & \textbf{B}\\
\hline}
\tabletail{
%\hline
\multicolumn{7}{|l|}{\small\sl continued on next page}\\
\hline}
\tablelasttail{} %\tablelasttail{\hline}
\begin{landscape}
\begin{supertabular}{| c || c | c | c || c | c | c |}
\topcaption{Examples of All the Concepts. \label{tab:conceptsimgs}}
\forloop{themenumber}{1}{\value{themenumber} < 24}{
\arabic{themenumber}
\forloop{classnumber}{0}{\value{classnumber} < 2}{
\forloop{imagenumber}{1}{\value{imagenumber} < 4}{
& \includegraphics[scale=0.5]{../\arabic{themenumber}/\arabic{classnumber}_\arabic{imagenumber}.eps}
}
}
\\
\hline
}
\end{supertabular}
\end{landscape}
However there is something wrong with the result: no caption is shown, the height of the part of table in each page exceeds the page height and there is something extra unwanted at the last page. See images below:
page1 page2 page3 page4
How to fix the problems? Thanks and regards!
Update:
All the problems remain when forloop is removed and replaced with:
1 &
\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{../1/0_1.eps}
&\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{../1/0_2.eps}
&\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{../1/0_3.eps}
&\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{../1/1_1.eps}
&\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{../1/1_2.eps}
&\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{../1/1_3.eps} \\
\hline
... % from 2 to 22
23 &
\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{../23/0_1.eps}
&\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{../23/0_2.eps}
&\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{../23/0_3.eps}
&\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{../23/1_1.eps}
&\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{../23/1_2.eps}
&\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{../23/1_3.eps} \\
\hline
Any idea how to fix the problems? Thanks!

Might be the same problem as forloop and table in LaTeX
Try to create a table without forloop — just copy-paste the same line enough times. If the problem disappears, it's most probably the same one.

Using MathJax I need a solution for \ensuremath

I'm using a MathJax in several projects and it generally works like a charm.
Today, however, I ran into a problem during the translation of a part of an existing LaTeX document with the following align-environment:
\begin{align}
& (\lambda x.(\lambda y.(\lambda z.xyz)))abc \\
= & \text{\{ impliciete toepassing expliciet maken \}} \\
& (((\lambda x.(\lambda y.(\lambda z.xyz)))a)b)c \\
= & \text{\{ \ensuremath{\beta}-reductie, substitutie van \ensuremath{x}door \ensuremath{a}\}} \\
& ((\lambda y.(\lambda z.ayz))b)c \\
= & \{\text{\ensuremath{\beta}-reductie, \ensuremath{y\,:=b}}\} \\
& (\lambda z.abz)c \\
= & \text{\{ \ensuremath{\beta}-reductie, \ensuremath{z\,:=c}} \\
& abc \\ \boxed{} \end{align}
The result rendered with LaTeX is this (sorry for the Dutch text ;-):
The align-environment is essentially a math context, so if you want text, you need to enclose that text with \text{...}. But when you need again math symbols within that text, you escape the text context by enclosing the maths with \ensuremath{...}.
And MathJax renders it like:
That Mathjax centers everything doesn't matter, that is something I can handle with CSS. But the rendering of \ensuremath is a problem. Clearly MathJax doesn't support \ensuremath, but I can't think of a workable workaround where I can use math symbols in a text-context.
Ideally I'ld like to have a solution using an alternative LaTeX construction (hence the cross listing)
Any ideas?
You should use $...$ or \(...\) in place of \ensuremath{...}. This seems more natural to me even in LaTeX itself (as \ensuremath is really designed for use within macros that might be used inside both text- and math-modes).
So you can do
\begin{align}
& (\lambda x.(\lambda y.(\lambda z.xyz)))abc \\
= & \{\text{ impliciete toepassing expliciet maken }\} \\
& (((\lambda x.(\lambda y.(\lambda z.xyz)))a)b)c \\
= & \{\text{ $\beta$-reductie, substitutie van $x$door $a$ }\} \\
& ((\lambda y.(\lambda z.ayz))b)c \\
= & \{\text{ $\beta$-reductie, $y:=b$ }\} \\
& (\lambda z.abz)c \\
= & \{\text{ $\beta$-reductie, $z:=c$ }\} \\
& abc \\ \boxed{} \end{align}
I also put the \{ and \} outside the \text{}, though you can do them inside if you prefer.
The centering is probably due to CSS on your page, as MathJax left-justifies these by default.

LaTeX align environment missing $ inserted

I'm using an Align environment inside of a proof, and I'm getting the error "Missing $ inserted." I've commenting out all but the first line of the align makes the error go away, but I still can't figure out what the problem is. No solution I could find works. Am I missing something?
\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{ifpdf, enumerate}
\usepackage{mla}
\usepackage{gb4e}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{stmaryrd}
\newcommand{\tuple}[1]{\ensuremath{\left \langle #1 \right \rangle }}
\newcommand{\evaluation}[2][]{\ensuremath{\llbracket #2\rrbracket^{#1}}}
\begin{document}
\begin{proof}
\begin{align*}
\evaluation[\mathbb{M}]{(Mx)(D (x) \& V (x))} = 1 \iff \\
\evaluation[\mathbb{M}]{\lbrack \alpha / x \rbrack (D (x) \& V (x))} = 1 \text{for most constants \alpha} \\
\evaluation[\mathbb{M}]{(D (\alpha) \& V (\alpha))} = 1 \text{for most constants \alpha } \\
\evaluation[\mathbb{M}]{D (\alpha)} = 1 \text{and} \evaluation[\mathbb{M}]{V (\alpha)} = 1 \text{for most constants \alpha } \\
F(\alpha) \in F(D) \text{and} F(\alpha) \in F(V) \text{for most constants \alpha } \\
\intertext{Examining the definitions of the model, we see that there are only four entities that are both in $F(D)$ and $F(V)$: Alice, Bob, Colin, and David. Because this is not more than half of the total twelve entities in the universe, our naive definition of ``most'' is not satisfied. Therefore the statement is false, which implies that the truth value of the origenal proposition is not 1.}
\end{align*}
\end{proof}
\end{document}
Here is what the error message looks like.
./test.tex:24: Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
$
l.24 \end{align*}
?
You've missed only one tricky fact: \alpha only works in math mode, so if you replace all occurrences of
\text{for most constants \alpha} \\
(lines 18, 19, 20, 21) with
\text{for most constants }\alpha \\
then your tex will compile sweetly. Also:
\text{for most constants}\ \alpha \\
or:
\text{for most constants $\alpha$} \\
as you already did in line 22 of your code (...$F(D)$ and $F(V)$...).
This answer is not applicable to this exact case, but the given error can also pop up if the "amsmath" package is not being used. It becomes tricky because the whole code looks alright except I had forgotten to add the \usepackage{amsmath} line in the beginning of the document.

How do I compile a LaTeX table exported from R?

I'm completely new to LaTeX and have the MacTeX 2009 package installed, with the intent of having tables from R output into LaTeX and formatted as PDF.
I get the following LaTeX code (below) when I run an example in R (it renders ok in R, but I´d like to use TeXshop). However, when I paste this into a TeXshop window, I get the following error:
./Untitled.tex:2: LaTeX Error: Environment table undefined
I´m sure there is something very basic I´m missing here.
% latex.default(cstats, title = title, caption = caption, rowlabel = rowlabel,
% col.just = col.just, numeric.dollar = FALSE, insert.bottom = legend,

You need some boilerplate around this to set up the document -- the LaTeXTemplate in TexShop should do.
Your \begin{table} is commented out with a preceding %
There are some missing backslashes in the legend text -- possibly these are just cut & paste artefacts?
This thrown-together version works for me, though you may need to tweak it for your purposes:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\end{table}
\end{document}
If you use the package stargazer (available on CRAN), you can use the argument out="filename.tex" to output the LaTeX code directly into a Tex document. That document should then be easy to compile.
It sounds like you may not have a document class defined, or you are not using a document class that defines the table environment.

Iteration in LaTeX

I would like to use some iteration control flow to simplify the following LaTeX code.

I learn that the forloop package provides the for loop. But I am not sure how to apply it to my case? Or other methods not by forloop?
If I also want to simply another similar case, where the only difference is that the directory does not run from 1, 2, to 23, but in some arbitrary order such as 3, 2, 6, 9,..., or even a list of strings such as dira, dirc, dird, dirb,.... How do I make the LaTeX code into loops then?
You may use pgffor package, a tool provided by pgf. The basic syntax is:
\foreach \n in {0,...,22}{do something}
Notably, this for loop is not restricted to integers, for example:
\foreach \n in {apples,burgers,cake}{Let's eat \n.\par}
Something like this will take care of the body of your tabular:
\newcounter{themenumber}
\newcounter{classnumber}
\newcounter{imagenumber}
\forloop{themenumber}{1}{\value{themenumber} < 24}{
% \hline <-- Error here
\arabic{themenumber}
\forloop{classnumber}{0}{\value{classnumber} < 2}{
\forloop{imagenumber}{1}{\value{imagenumber} < 6}{
& \includegraphics[scale=2]{
../../results/\arabic{themenumber}/\arabic{classnumber}_\arabic{imagenumber}.eps
}
}
}
\\
\hline
}
I had to comment out the first \hline because it gave me an error:
You can't use `\hrule' here except with leaders.
I'm not sure what that means; if you really cannot live without the double line, I can look into it more.
Also note that you have to use <; for example, <= 24 will not work.
As to your update: I would simply declare a command that takes the argument that you're looping over. Something like this:
\newcommand\fordir[1]{do something complex involving directory named #1}
\fordir{dira}
\fordir{dirb}
\fordir{dirc}
\dots

Storing and recalling variable number of text strings in LaTeX

I'm currently writing an API document in LaTeX. I have a tabular environment with a list of error codes and descriptions, like so:
\begin{tabular}{|c|l|}
\hline
\textbf{Code} & \textbf{Description} \\ \hline
1 & (description of error 1) \\ \hline
2 & (description of error 2) \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
At various places later in the document, I reference an error's code and its description together, like so:
Possible error conditions:
\begin{itemize}
\item 1---(description of error 1)
\end{itemize}
I want to automate this process so I don't have to retype the descriptions every time. I have tried using a counter, labels, and the \savebox command, but it's pretty cumbersome:
\newcounter{error}
% Inside the tabular environment:
\newsavebox{\ErrorOne}
\savebox{\ErrorOne}{(description of error 1)}
\refstepcounter{error} \label{ErrorOne} \arabic{error} & \usebox{\ErrorOne} \\ \hline
and later, to reference the error,
\ref{ErrorOne}---\usebox{\ErrorOne}
I particularly object to having to use ErrorOne for the labels but \ErrorOne (with the leading backslash) for the saveboxes. I also don't really want names like ErrorOne, since I might need to change the order at some point. What I want is to be able to define a few commands:
\newerror{errorlabel}{Description} % defines the error (doesn't output anything)
\errorcode{errorlabel} % outputs the error code
\errordesc{errorlabel} % outputs the error description
and then be able to say something like
\newerror{ArgumentError}{Too many arguments}
\newerror{DatabaseError}{Could not connect to database}
% Inside the tabular environment:
\errorcode{ArgumentError} & \errordesc{ArgumentError} \\ \hline
\errorcode{DatabaseError} & \errordesc{DatabaseError} \\ \hline
% Later on:
\errorcode{DatabaseError}---\errordesc{DatabaseError}
with the error codes (1, 2, 3, ...) being automatically generated like labels would be.
Any ideas?
The following works for me
\catcode`\#=11
\newcounter{error}
\def\newerror#1#2{\refstepcounter{error}%
\expandafter\xdef\csname errno##1\endcsname{\arabic{error}}%
\expandafter\xdef\csname errds##1\endcsname{#2}%
}
\def\errorcode#1{\expandafter\printerrinfo \csname errno##1\endcsname}
\def\errordesc#1{\expandafter\printerrinfo \csname errds##1\endcsname}
\def\printerrinfo#1{\ifx#1\relax\errmessage{Error code is invalid}%
\else\expandafter#1\fi}
\catcode`\#=12
\newerror{ArgumentError}{Too many arguments}
\newerror{DatabaseError}{Could not connect to database}
\errorcode{DatabaseError}---\errordesc{DatabaseError}
In your preamble, create new commands for each error, then just call the command:
\newcommand{\errorone}{this is the error and its description}
then in the body, just call the new command:
\begin{tabular}{|c|l|}
\hline
\textbf{Code} & \textbf{Description} \\ \hline
1 & \errorone \\ \hline
