Wella Straight Instruction

A trick for Firefox

The theme of this post is not about LaTeX, really, but since many of those who use LaTeX is dedicated to writing, sometimes in other languages, I think this little trick can be useful to more than one. This is a quick shortcut from Firefox , quickly translate a word or expression in different languages, making use of Google services . Run your browser to the Google translator of
  • , where you will see a box where you enter text, preceded by the message Write one word: (or Enter word:
    if you access the English version of the page) and a dropdown list of possible translations. drop-down list Choose the option "English-English " if it was not previously chosen. Put the mouse in the box to enter text and click the right button. In the context menu should be an option that says "
  • Add a keyword for this search ... "(if you use the English version of Firefox say"

    Add a Keyword for this search ...

    ). Choose that option. This will insert a bookmark in the bookmarks list, and some more.

    Name: is the name of the bookmark. Put whatever you want, for example English-English Dictionary Google

    1. Keyword: This is good, here you can put a "shortcut" consisting of a few letters in order to use this dictionary as lightning. For example, I've put here i2e , sui-generis abbreviation of "English to English "
    2. Create in: is the folder where you saved the bookmark. Put it to your liking, total, thanks to the keyword, you never need to use your menu bookmarks to access it
    3. Is everything? You can close the Google translator. Now say you have a word in English that you translate, for example slick. Enough to create a new tab in Firefox and go to the place where you type the URL (press Ctrl-T to create the tab and Ctrl + L to go quickly to the entry of URLs, without using the mouse). Writes there "i2e slick" (no quotes)
    4. keyword "i2e 'cause Firefox go to google translator URL and fill in the search field to put behind the words (in this case" slick ") , sending all to Google and showing response. Instant translation.
      • Repeat the above but with different meanings of translation, for example English-> English (keyword 'e2i'). The trick works with any page with a search form. For example, I have defined the key word 'w' for immediate search in the English wikipedia, and "we" for the English wikipedia.
      • I find it very useful. I wanted to share.

    LaTeX includes a command (
  • \\ maketitle ) to generate the document title, with its list of authors, etc.. In classes and book report this creates a standard title page. If we customize we can use the titlepage environment
  • , which causes everything within that environment put out on a single page, without number, and the following page that has the number 1. There is complete freedom to put whatever you want inside, and therefore to get a custom home. On the Web can find
  • several examples

    Covers with LaTeX I've seen things ...

    Word I've seen things you people would not believe.

    I've seen lists of items based on formatted blanks. I've seen dozens of consecutive carriage returns at the end of a page, to force the change to the next page. I saw a table of contents of a 300-page document, produced entirely by hand "to avoid problems ." href="http://zoonek.free.fr/LaTeX/LaTeX_samples_title/0.html"> I have seen documents with images in bitmap format, taking gigs and it takes minutes' repaginate. " dropdown menus I've seen "Styles" with hundreds of defined styles, none consistently used in the document.

    I have seen seven different types of "

    href="http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2007-1/"> bullets" in the same document, with inconsistent indentation levels. href="http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/index.html"> printed documents I have seen full of "Error! Bookmark not defined "href="http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2007-1/robbers/">

    I've seen attempts to create multi-file documents with Word. I've never seen one that worked.
      enumerable lists I've seen as numbers, rather than starting at 1, still others of previous chapters, without notice to the author after printing.
    • printed documents I have seen do not resemble what was seen on screen.
    • I've seen documents, changing computer, changing your entire page because it uses a different printer.
    • I've seen the message "
    • Want to save the changes to the document? "without making any changes.
    • I have seen a document, to move forward after the last page is copied and pasted itself to that point, recursively, increasing their size to overwhelm the system.
    • All those moments will be lost in time, like tears of joy in the rain. It's time LaTeX.
