Some useful bits of \LaTeX code accumulated over the years...

count number of words / compter le nombre de mots

Pour compter le nombre de mots et de caractères d'un document latex, il suffit d'installer deTeX et de lancer la simple ligne de commande
```
detex MonFichier.tex | wc -w
```
alternatively, you may use
```
pdftotext MonFichier.pdf - | wc -w
```
in TexShop there's a "Statistics..." interface to the same technique.

on MacOsX, to install appropriate tools, use MacPorts and

sudo port install detex
sudo port install xpdf +a4 +with_poppler

including source code in a document with pretty printing

use

\usepackage{attachfile}

\usepackage{filecontents}

see documentation:
```
texdoc attachfile
```

referring to table or image

referring to table or image (and not to the bottom of it)
```
\usepackage{hypcap}
```

framed box

make a framed box around text (and configure space) :

\setlength\fboxsep{1pt}
\setlength\fboxrule{0.5pt}
\fbox{text}

convert a collection of JPGs to a pdf

\listfiles
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[active,graphics,tightpage]{preview}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{pic1}
\includegraphics{pic2}
\includegraphics{pic3}
\end{document}

for f in *.jpg ; do convert $f `basename $f .jpg`.pdf ; done

or `` slideshow.tex`` TeX file

more fonts

on the mac, out of the box with i-installer

The gwTeX part of this distribution contains all the setup files you need to use a couple of fonts from your Mac. The setup has been created by Thomas A. Schmitz (he did the main work) and Adam Lindsay, hence the naming: gtamacfonts.
To use these fonts with LaTeX, put e.g. the following in your file:
        \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
        \usepackage{gtamachoefler}
Such a style file will make Hoefler Text the serif (roman) text font and Gill Sans the sans serif font. The following basic styles are available:
        gtamacbaskerville.sty
        gtamacdidot.sty
        gtamacgeorgia.sty
        gtamachoefler.sty
There are  more. See the manual for details. For the same effect using ConTeXt, enter e.g.:
        \usetypescriptfile[type-gtamacfonts]
        \usetypescript[Hoefler][ec]
        \setupbodyfont[Hoefler,12pt]
Example documents and a manual can be found in the texmf.gwtex/doc/fonts/gtamacfonts subdirectory. To get the manual you can type "texdoc gtamacfonts" in a Terminal window.

Latin Modern

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}

Installation TeX

Sous Un*x_like, utilisation de TeTeX : http://www.tug.org/teTeX/
Pour ajouter un package, copiez le à un endroit adéquat (voir http://www.ctan.org/installationadvice/ ), puis faire

texhash

Tex on MacOsX

!TexLive is the most recent /easy distribution. You may add new packages easilly in $HOME/Library/texmf (see a reference) or using the TexLive tool: tlmgr

to install :

wget http://ftp.klid.dk/ftp/texlive/tlnet/mactex-2009-sept-20.mpkg.zip
unzip mactex-2009-sept-20.mpkg.zip
sudo installer -pkg MacTeX-2009.mpkg -target /

(check before on http://ftp.klid.dk/ftp/texlive/tlnet/ the correct name)

I had to set up a new source repository :

sudo tlmgr option location http://ftp.klid.dk/ftp/texlive/tlnet

to upgrade

sudo tlmgr update --self
sudo tlmgr update --all
