Can a person have an allergic reaction to latex?
Inhaled latex can be a serious allergic problem. We’ll take a look at the most common types of latex allergy below. This is a serious and rare form of allergy causing a severe immediate reaction that can be life-threatening. Some people with type 1 latex hypersensitivity might also react in a similar way to bee stings.
Are there any non-obvious errors in latex?
Despite my considerable experience with LaTeX, I still regularly encounter non-obvious behaviour and strange error messages, and there are many parts of the language that seem arcane and obtuse. Here are just a few examples:
Which is better to use word or latex?
Word and LaTeX both have their pro’s and cons. LaTeX has, as you point out, a steep learning curve and this may be difficult for you and your collaborators to use. On the converse, it’s quite powerful for typesetting and allows you lots of control. You could try Authorea, which takes the best of both worlds.
How are long numbers formatted in latex Stack Exchange?
In most language, long numbers are split into groups of three digits, to increase readability. In Dutch (my native language), 1000000 is usually written as 1 000 000. In English, this would be 1,000,000. Now, I would like to know how to use this kind of formatting in LaTeX.
How to format thin spaces in latex Stack Exchange?
Normally you would use \\, for a thin space $1\\,000\\,000$ If you are entering that by hand. As noted in the comments siunitx or other packages have the ability to parse the bare number 1000000 and then format it according to formatting parameters with commas or thin spaces, so it depends what you want to do (and where the numbers are generated).
Can a LaTeX file be included in a PDF file?
LaTeX will still read in all the cross-referencing information for the missing chapters, but won’t include those chapters in the PDF file. There is a definite advantage to this if you have, say, a large number of images in your results chapter, which you don’t need when you’re working on, say, the technical introduction.
