Hyperlinks with LaTeX
I am big fan of Texinfo for writing articles or any other documentations work (yes, I do sometimes try to write the specification document). For a few weeks now, I have been trying to learn LaTeX, sice it can be used to typeset good quality presentation slides and letters too.
A problem that I faced when writing the articles in LaTeX was on how to make a hyperlink to a webpage. I was using latex2html to convert the latex file to HTML format. LaTeX comes with a hyperref package which can be used to create links. It has a
\hrefcommand which can be used to create hyperlinks, but the links did not come out in the HTML page. I found that this was a known problem with hyperref and latex2html. However, the solution, as I found out, is much easier. The command to use is\htmladdnormallink{link text}{universal resource locator}You have to include the package html in your document to use it\usepackage{html,makeidx} .... The text of this article can be downloaded from our \htmladdnormallink{web site}{http://www.example.org}.Defined tags for this entry: geek stuff, programming -
make your google search box in firefox bigger
initially I thought of giving this post the title "make your bigger ..."
While going through the Mozillazine's Firefox forum, I came across this interesting discussion on how to make the google search box bigger. In your userChrome.css, put in the following lines
/ Make the Search box flex wider / #search-container { -moz-box-flex: 600 !important; } #searchbar { -moz-box-flex: 600 !important; }Defined tags for this entry: geek stuff
