latex

I have been using Vim for text editing and even Vim mode even in Sublime Text. Although, I wanted to use Org mode so I switched to Spacemacs with Evil mode that gives the best of both worlds. I had been using TeXworks and TeXstudio for editing and building LaTeX documents but now that I have Emacs, I wanted to try out the pdf-tools layer and latex layers so that all my work can be done from inside Spacemacs itself.

Some journal publications require you to put author biography for each author with their pictures. For this I found the _picins _package. To install this package you can run the following commands sudo mkdir /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/picins sudo wget -O /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/picins/picins.sty http://ctan.imsc.res.in/macros/latex209/contrib/picins/picins.sty http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex209/contrib/picins/picins.sty sudo /usr/bin/texconfig rehash So, then you can use the following latex code for biography of an author: \parpic{\includegraphics[width=1in,clip,keepaspectratio]{figures/photo.eps}} \noindent {\bf Lorem Ipsum} dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
