 ====== Latex ======
 Collected ideas...
+===== Formatting Authors =====
+When citing authors, the [[http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/soul/|soul]] package is useful. It provides small caps with additional spacing. Use it as: <code latex>\so{Author Name}</code>
+===== Bib and localization =====
+Include the package babel and babelbib in the preamble:
+<code latex>\usepackage{babel}
+\usepackage{babelbib}</code>
+Use the following command to produce the bibliography:
+<code latex>\bibliographystyle{babalpha}
+\bibliography{bibliography_file}</code>
+===== Hyperref setup =====
+Setup [[http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/hyperref/|hyperref]] to include correct author name and opening mode for PDF files:
+<code latex>\hypersetup{
+  pdfauthor={Author Name <name@domain.tld>}, pdfstartview={FitV}
+}</code>
+===== Math extensions =====
+Some often used operators and functions:
+<code latex>\providecommand{\abs}[1]{\lvert#1\rvert}
+\providecommand{\norm}[1]{\lVert#1\rVert}
+\DeclareMathOperator*{\argmax}{arg\,max}</code>
+==== Better Vectors ====
+The standard ''\vec'' command produces in some situations bad looking vectors. That problem can be avoided by using the package [[http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/esvect/|esvect]] and the command ''\vv{a}'' to produce the vector //a// or ''\vv*{a}{i}'' to produce the vector //a<sub>i</sub>//.
+===== Miscellaneous  =====
+Disable all graphics:
+<code latex>
+\renewcommand{\includegraphics}[1][]{\url}
+</code>
