• For math symbols in the running text, you can use bm{} command.

  Example:

  ...$bm{y_{ij}}$ is the response... The bm macro is different from the mathbf command in that it emboldens everything including symbols.
• For math symbols in the equation or eqnarray environment, use a pair of environments: begin{boldequation} formula end{boldequation} begin{boldequation*} formula end{boldequation*} The unstarred form has automatic referencing and is numbered, while the starred form has no automatic referencing and numbering.

• Tools
  • afterpage.ps: causes the commands specified in its argument to be expanded after the current page is output.
  • array.ps: A new implementation of LaTex's tabular and array environment.
  • dcolumn.ps: This package defines a system for defining column of entries in an array or tablular which are to be aligned on a ``decimal point''.
  • delarry.ps: implicits \left \right pairs.
  • enumerate.ps: gives the enumerate environment an optional argrument which determines the style in which the counter is printed.
  • fileerr.ps: deal with ``File not found error''.
  • ftnright.ps: Footnotes in a multi-column layout.
  • hhline.ps: produces a line like \hline, or a double line like\hline\hline except for its interaction with vertical lines.

  • layout.ps: displays page layout variables.
  • longtable.ps: defines the longtable environment, a multi-page version of tabular.
  • multicol.ps: improved typesetting in several columns
  • rawfonts.ps: provides emulation of LaTex 2.09 documents which used low-level commands such as \tenrm.
  • showkeys.ps: displays the internal labels with \ref, \cite etc.
  • somedefs.ps: allows package writers to provide options which switch definitions on and off.
  • tabularx.ps: a new environment which takes the same argument as tabular, but modifies the width of certain columns, rather than the inter column space, to set a table with the requested total width.
  • theorem.ps: an extension of the LaTex theorem environment.
  • varioref.ps: similar to \ref but adds an additional page references, like `` on the facing page'' or ``on page 27'' whenever the corresponding \lable is not on the same page.

A1) Method 1:
      a) first include "usepackage{fancybox}"
      b) then use
           slideframe{shadow} or
           slideframe{double} or
           slideframe{oval} or
           slideframe{Oval}
         to change frame style or use
           slideframe{none}
         to create slides without frame
     note: put these commands in the preamble will cause all slides have 
the same frame unless you use another slideframe command to change it.
The above commands can be used within any begin{slide}...end{slide}.

  Method 2:
    a) first include "usepackage{semcolor}"
    b) then use
      slideframe{scplain} or
      slideframe{scshadow} or
      slideframe{scdouble} or
      slideframe{none}

You can use the package "natbib". The following is an example:

documentclass[12pt]{article}
usepackage[super, sort]{natbib}
bibpunct{(}{)}{;}{a}{,}{,} % required for natbib

begin{document}

Use the natbib package with options texttt{super} and texttt{sort}, 
and use verb+citep+ or verb+citet+
instead of the command verb+cite+. In detail, we need to include the 
natbib package
and include the line

begin{verbatim}
bibliographystyle[super, sort]{natbib}
bibpunct{(}{)}{;}{a}{,}{,}
end{verbatim}

in the preamble. 

And use the bibliographstyle texttt{plainnat}, i.e.
verb+bibliographystyle{plainnat}+.

The command
verb+citet+ is for ``last name (year)'' and verb+citep+ for 
``(last name, year)'' which will be shown in the text.


The result of verb+citep{GoossensEtAl:1999}+ is citep{GoossensEtAl:1999}.
The result of verb+citetcitet{GoossensEtAl:1999}+ is citet{GoossensEtAl:1999}.

bibliographystyle{plainnat} % required for natbib
bibliography{workshop}

end{document}

The content of the file "

workshop.bib

" is below:

@book{GoossensEtAl:1999,
  author="{Goossens, M.} and {Rahtz, S.} with {Gurari, E., M.} and {Moore, R.} and {Sutor, R.  S.}",
  title="The LaTeX, Web Companion",
  publisher="Addison-Wesley",
  year="1999"
}
