blackboard bold semicolon

Hi. I am trying to produce a blackboard bold semicolon. My test file is as follows: <testfile> \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{amsfonts} \begin{document} $R{\mathbb{;}}S$ and $R;S$ should look different (the semicolon should be blackboard bold and normal, respectively).

Indexed list
|
| |
Dear TeXperts, I am trying to build a listing enviroment that produces an indexed text at the end, as the following silly example: \begin{enumerate} \item First \item Second \end{enumerate} 1. First (Doc. #1) 2. Second (Doc. #2) The text would be good if numbered (indexed) by section, e.g. 1. First (Doc. #3.1)... more »

I'd like to simplify the workload with pdflatex. These lines: many members of the domain. \begin{center} \includegraphics{ch3.5} % bean to bean; many to one... more »

Preprint of article on keyval (and friends)

Strange brace removal
|
| |
The TeX command ${a_b}_c$ gives what one expects, namely two indices, the second a little lower. One would expect that ${\hat{a}_b}_c$ looks similar, with a hat on the $a$. In reality, one gets a "Double subscript" error. I traced this to the following rule in the TeXbook, page 290: "If the math list turns out to be simply a single Ord atom without... more »

xkeyval macro vs argument declaration
|
| |
Hello, In the following example why is the column declaration troublesome through the xkeyval macro, yet not via an argument declaration? I'm afraid this has to do with expansion or so... and then I have no idea how to correct that! Can you help me please? Best regards, Mathieu \documentclass{article}... more »

I'm using the article class, and I want section and subsection numbering like I 1 2 II 1 2 instead of the default 1 1.1 1.2 2 2.1 2.2 I've changed the section numbering to Roman, but I can't figure out how to suppress the section numbers in the subsections. I'd appreciate it if... more »

Change picture in place (not animate)
|
| |
Hello, Is there a way to change a picture in a PDF, rather then having about 10 pretty similar pictures in a row. It is like having an in place slide show. I don't mean the animate package and step through a picture. It would be great to have buttons to select a picture. It is meant to explain process flows.... more »
