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}
