Jan 18	comment	Condense the space between bibliographic entries If you switch to `natbib` then there is a `\bibsep` parameter that you can adjust.
Jan 18	comment	Is \Copy already in use by any package? emacs -nw C-h k C-y returns: C-y runs the command yank which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'. It is bound to C-y, <S-insertchar>, <S-insert>, <menu-bar> <edit> <paste>. (yank &optional ARG) Reinsert ("paste") the last stretch of killed text. More precisely, reinsert the stretch of killed text most recently
Jan 18	comment	Bad references with \cref in Ubuntu Please give a minimal working example (MWE) demonstrating the problem. The loading order of packages relative to `cleveref` is rather critical - see the documentation of `cleveref`.
Jan 17	comment	Having tick labels like 1, 10, 10^2, 10^3, Welcome to TeX.sx! There are a number of options in this direction described in section 4.12 of the pgfplots manual.
Jan 17	comment	How to modify itemize vertical spacing within blocks in beamer? A good point. It turns out my analysis was incorrect the first time, I have now rewritten my solution that no negative values are used and mentioned a possible work around for the situation you describe.
Jan 16	comment	How to modify itemize vertical spacing within blocks in beamer? You should adjus the list parameters, including `\topsep` in way similar to tex.stackexchange.com/q/87249/15925
Jan 15	comment	How to typeset multiple equations center aligned but with single eq. number? Have you tried `gathered`?
Jan 15	comment	Small font size for ampersand Harish Kumar's answer is correct. Hovever, I don't get the result you complain about in standard document. The italics must be due to something else in your document.
Jan 15	comment	Savebox and usebox unexpected behaviour for the box with index 10 As Herbert says, your code doesn't declare the boxes - there is no `\newsavebox`. Also, if add a `\tracingassigns=1`, or just `\showbox11`, you will see that `\box11` is not void when you define it, so it is being used by something else.
Jan 10	comment	How to resume list numbering (enumerated lists) with multicols environments See the different solutions provided to tex.stackexchange.com/q/1669/15925. In particular, the issue of lists within other environments is discussed by Andrew Stacey.
Jan 10	comment	Biber not producing any output file @AxelDessecker I needed the input encoding when I tried it on my set-up to avoid same utf8 characters not being printed. But it seems you have a more fundamental problem. Perhaps you should upgrade your system.
Jan 10	comment	Biber not producing any output file Did you run latex again after biber? Also you need to `\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}` because of the characters in your `bib` file.
Jan 10	comment	Change chapter heading format There are many similar questions on this site, with answers, which you may find with the search facility. If none of these help, you will need to tells us which documentclass you are using. You will get most help by providing a minimal working example (MWE)
Jan 9	comment	Is there any software that converts latex file to tex file? Welcome to TeX.sx!
Jan 9	comment	Output a relational symbol on LaTeX (precedes under relation, ⊰) Welcome to TeX.sx!
Jan 9	comment	Bibtex style help - alphabetical sort It is the bibliography style that specifies the sort order, regardless of whether you cite the references directly or use `\nocite`. May be you are using a style like `unsrt`. Please provide details, preferably by including a minimal working example (MWE).
Jan 8	comment	Renaming label names in AucTex to recover ordered sequence @T.Verron I use that mechanism of `reftex` all the time, but find itvery helpful to have keys that have meaningful names when working with my source.
Jan 8	comment	Renaming label names in AucTex to recover ordered sequence Much of the point of the `\label / \ref` system is that you can use labels that are meaningful to you, rather than being a random number, and then LaTeX sorts out the numbering for you. I would recommend using e.g. a label such as `eq:Einstein` for the Einstein equation, instead of numbered labels.
Jan 8	comment	\leftmark with section* Please read the documentation of `fancyhdr`. You need to load this package to use `\fancyhead` and you should use pagestyles in the way described in that manual.
Jan 8	comment	BibTeX: .bst Style is Applied on Bibliography, but not on The Citations Welcome to TeX.sx! You should use the command `\citep` for these citations (and make sure you have a space before this command). `\citealt` is `\citet` without the parentheses.
