Graphics

Graphics Path

To tell LaTeX where to find image:

\graphicspath{ {images_folder/}{/path/to/other/folder/}{/path/to/other/folder2/} }

Misc

Context sensitive quotation

Idea: automatically get quotation according to the language.

First import the package:

\usepackage[babel=true]{csquotes}

Then, instead of standard quotation use:

A  superb quote:  \enquote{This  superb  quote subquotes:  \enquote{nice
isn't it ?}}

Emacs and flyspell

Force latex mode and flyspell:

%%% Local Variables: 
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% flyspell-mode: 't'
%%% End: 

Force flyspell language:

%%% Local Variables: 
%%% ispell-local-dictionary: "french"
%%% End: 

Margins for the itemize/enumerate

To set the margin:

\addtolength{\leftmargini}{2.5em}
