LaTeX Tips and Tricks

• Tighter space between Enumerations:

  \begin{enumerate} \itemsep 0pt  
     \item bla bla 
     \item Yeah yeah yeah 
  \end{enumerate}
  

• Change space between bibitems in bibliography (need package natbib):

  \bibsep 3pt
  

• Put text in the outside margin, use \marginpar{margin text}. To swap the default side, issue \reversemarginpar and that move margin notes to the opposite side.

• Convert a jpef file to eps file:

  bmeps -c FigureOne.jpg FigureOne.eps
