Re: different line spacing for text and quotes

Thanks, Paul. I do have lots of quotes and I'd like to use a consistent style throughout. I've come across the setspace.sty package, and also this: \makeatletter \renewenvironment{quote} {\begin{spacing}{1}\list{}{\rightmargin\leftmargin}% \item\relax}

oldstyle figures

Hello! I'd like to use old-style figures in my text (including quotations, etc.) but I don't think they're appropriate for headings (see Bringhurst) and for my footnotes. I'd like a way to: 1. set the default to (myfont)j and define footnotes and headings to use (myfont)x or 2. set the

Hello! Here's a third noob question in a row: I managed to set my text in 1.5 spacing and quotes in single. My text is set in 11 pt., but I'd like to use a smaller size. I'm using memoir, but I don't have to. Thanks! mail.k

Re: Typeface for Insert URL

Re: quote size

Hi Paul, I'd like to customize the quote environment, so that it appears in smaller type--like footnotes--than the standard environment. I have too many quotes to change each of them manually. Kindly, Eran Re: quote size Paul Smith Tue, 10 Jan 2006 03:30:30 -0800 On 1/10/06, m

text figures and lining figures

Can anyone tell me how to use oldstyle figures in my body text (i.e., text figures or the "j" version of the fonts) and lining figures for my footnotes (the "x" version of the font)? I prefer the appearance of osf, but in the footnotes I must use a more scientific look. (I've asked this qu

\abstractname failure

In a simple article, I'd like to redefine the fixed text for the abstract environment, so that above the text will appear "Summary" and not "Abstract". In the preamble I inserted: \renewcommand\abstractname{Summary} I still get "Abstract". Any tips??

Re: \abstractname failure

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I did read the FAQ. It says: /However, if you are using babel (which you do most likely if you write in a language other than English), this will not work. In this case, you have to add to the preamble: / /\AtBeginDocument{% \addto\capt

Index entries: only the first instane appears.

I've marked some words or phrases in my text as "index entries" and added the index at the end of the document. But if an indexed term appears, say, on pages 3, 26, and 154, the index will list only the first instance, i.e., page 3. I'm using 1.4.2-1, Miktex 2.5, Memoir. Any advice is appre
