\setlength{\abovecaptionskip}{2pt}
to set the space between images and caption inside a figure
tikz should in a separate file
% file image.tex
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0, 0) circle [radius=1];
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
Then in the main file, in the preamble:
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{standalone}
Then in the main tex, use \includestandalone[height=3cm]{image}
(NO .tex extension).
Bitbucket is my best choice.
When writing a pragraphs, start each sentences at the beginning of a line, and if it spills over, each subsequent line is tabbed
In fact, I will indent the paragraph by sentence structure. This makes my life easier when I check the git diff.
Don't use `eqnarray` as it "produces inconsistent spacing of the equal signs and make no attempt to prevent overprinting of the equation body and equation number."
Keep an eye on what need to be done.
% use \todo{} to highlight TODO items
\usepackage{color}
\newcommand{\todo}[1]{\textcolor{red}{[TODO: #1]}}
By default, there is no number in figure/table captions. This can be fixed by adding the following to you header.
% figures and tables should be numbered
\setbeamertemplate{caption}[numbered]
% remove header
\setbeamertemplate{headline}{}
% remove navigation
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{}
% use \todo{} to highlight TODO items
\usepackage{color}
\newcommand{\todo}[1]{\textcolor{red}{[TODO: #1]}}
% use \*x instead of \mathbf{x} to save space
\def\*#1{\mathbf{#1}}
% use \norm{} to type euclidean norm || x ||
\newcommand{\norm}[1]{\left\lVert #1 \right\rVert}
% use \abs{} to type absolute symbol
\newcommand{\abs}[1]{\left| #1 \right|}
% differentials
\renewcommand{\d}[1]{\;\textsf{d}#1}
\newcommand{\pd}[1]{\partial #1}
\newcommand{\D}{\;\textsf{D}}
% \R instead of \mathbb{R}
\newcommand{\R}{\;\textbb{R}}
As suggested in Avoid eqnarray! by Lars Madsen, we should never use eqnarray environment. Instead, use align environment provided in amsmath package(which is already included in most conference style) or equation+split environment for single equation.
\begin{align*}
x = {} & y
& + z \\
= {} & y+z
\end{align*}
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
x & = y
& = y+z
\end{split}
\end{equation}
Use \centering
instead of \begin{center} … \end{center}
inside a figure or table environment. This center environment can cause additional vertical space.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb,amsmath}
\newcommand{\R}{{\mathbb R}}
\renewcommand{\vector}[1]{(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_{#1})}
\newcommand{\avector}[2]{(#1_1,#1_2,\ldots,#1_{#2})}
\newcommand{\aDEFvector}[2][a]{(#1_1,#1_2,\ldots,#1_{#2})}
\begin{document}
Consider the following vectors with entries in $\R$: $\mathbf
x=\vector{6}$, $\mathbf u=\avector{u}{7}$, $\mathbf a=\aDEFvector{8}$,
$\mathbf w=\aDEFvector[w]{n+1}$.
