Configuring Texstudio to use Internal pdf viewer in user defined quick build



LaTeX (pronounced as la-tech or ly-tech) is a macro package for TeX created by Leslie Lamport. This is a document processor software which creates professional document and typesetting, specially if you are writing scientific document and contained lots of equation, figure and table. This is kind of markup language, so you just create a logical structure of document and the formatting is taken care by LaTeX. This is different form the other popular document processor like MS Word or Open Office Writer where you can see formatting of the document directly, but here you can only see the structure of the document not the formatting. But since this is a command based kind of document processor you have to remember lots of command to create a document, which is bit difficult. Also there is huge chance that you will make some mistake in the commands of the document, which will then create problem when you will compile the document, and you will not get any output. 
This is where the dedicated LaTeX editor comes to help us. A dedicated LaTeX editor will have color highlighting, command auto-completion feature and error highlighting feature. Some time this will also have some easy to create option like creating table, inserting figure etc. So a good LaTeX editor will make writing document in LaTeX very easy.
TeXstudio is a very good open source and free LaTeX editor, which is basex on free software TeXmaker. It has lots of feature which stated above. It also have a quick build feature, which run a number of command to compile document one by one. This quick build feature has a user configuring option also. Where you can configure to set which command you want to run after which command. And there is a pdf viewer which is very useful to view and review the newly build document.  You can actually use command to open your newly build pdf document automatically open after compiling the document. But if you use simple pdf viewer command to open pdf, it will open in external pdf viewer. But if you want to open pdf in inbuilt pdf viewer of TeXstudio then add this command as the pdf viewer.

Changing caption width in latex

In this post I will discuss how to change the width of the figure caption. You can use the same technique to change the width of the other caption (like table caption). Here I am using the caption package. In caption package you can specify the width while loading the package or latter using \captionsetup command. Syntax of the both command are as following \usepackage[<option>]{caption} and command for captionsetup is \captionsetup[<float type>]{<option>} In the <option> we can use width=0.8\textwidth to specify width of the caption. If we specify that in the time of loading (i.e. when using with \usepackage command) it will affect all the float (like figure, table) but if you specify it in command \usepackage then you can specify float type. Then the specific float type will only be effected. This way you can specify two different width for different float. You can also specify other kind of formatting (like italic text) usi

Subtitle in latex

There is no direct command to define subtitle in latex. But you can define the \subtitle command using titling package. To do this just insert the following code in the preamble of the latex file. \usepackage{titling} \newcommand{\subtitle}[1]{%   \posttitle{%     \par\end{center}     \begin{center}\large#1\end{center}     \vskip0.5em}% } And then you can define subtitle using the following command. \subtitle{Subtitle Here} This will show the subtitle bellow your title when you use \maketitle command. Minimum working example Code \documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{titling} \newcommand{\subtitle}[1]{% \posttitle{% \par\end{center} \begin{center}\large#1\end{center} \vskip0.1em}}% \title{This is the title of the document} \subtitle{This is subtitle} \author{Apurba Paul} \date{January 08, 2013} \begin{document} \maketitle Body of the document. \lipsum[1] \end{document} Output

Mozilla Thunderbird is one of the best email client available for Windows, Linux and Mac. Here I will tell how to send email in background in Thunderbird, so that when you send any mail that irritating "sending email" popup will not come out in front of you. First go to Preferences window: In windows: tools>options In linux: Edit>preferences Now go to Advance tab > General   and click on Config Editor Button, When asked click on I'll be careful, I promise button.  Then search for mailnews.sendinBackground and then select it. Then right click and toggle it to true. Now Thunderbird should send your email in background. You may need to restart the Thunderbird. Cheers A.Paul
