Cross-reference Comparison

Published on December 2, 2014.

From Wikipedia:

The term cross-reference can refer to either:

• An instance within a document which refers to related information elsewhere in the same document.

(…)

This blog post is a comparison of (math) cross-reference with Text Processor (e.g. Writer from LibreOffice), LaTeX and HTML.

LibreOffice

Text processors are great. They are easy to use, can be edit in almost any platform, and in last years you can also use it for high typographic quality works.

SPE's LaTeX Course

Published on November 27, 2014.

This week I taught a LaTeX course for the Student Chapter of Society of Petroleum Engineers at the University of Campinas.

ShareLaTeX

This is the fifth time that I taught a LaTeX course and the first time that I use ShareLaTeX in a course.

Why did I do this? Because in the last year I was maintaining a thesis template and many users report problems due encoding, missing packages and compiling rules when using it locally. Using ShareLaTeX is a nice way to avoid this type of problem for novices.
