To remove the borders:

    \hypersetup{%
        pdfborder = {0 0 0}
    }

The `colorlinks` option will turn on the link colors and also remove the borders.  (This is why alamodey set all the link colors to black.)


    \usepackage{hyperref}
    \hypersetup{
        colorlinks,
        citecolor=black,
        filecolor=black,
        linkcolor=black,
        urlcolor=black
    }

Version 6.82a of hyperref, released in February 2011, introduced a new &lt;code&gt;hidelinks&lt;/code&gt; option that accomplishes this more easily. All you need now is:

    \usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}

I realize it&#39;s a bit late to answer but there&#39;s a simpler way, in my experience

    \usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref}

This will shift hyperref from ugly borders to link coloring, which is what you usually want. See here for more options:

When writing my first asp.net MVC application using C#, I see that there are some variables whose name start with an underscore character(_).

What does this mean? Is there any specific meaning for this?

I am a noob when it comes to SQL syntax. 

I have a table with lots of rows and columns of course :P
Lets say it looks like this:
 

          AAA BBB CCC DDD
    -----------------------
    Row1 | 1   A   D   X
    Row2 | 2   B   C   X
    Row3 | 3   C   D   Z


Now I want to create an advanced select statement that gives me this combined (pseudo SQLish here):

    select &#39;Test1&#39;, * from TABLE Where CCC=&#39;D&#39; AND DDD=&#39;X&#39;
    select &#39;Test2&#39;, * from TABLE Where CCC&lt;&gt;&#39;D&#39; AND DDD=&#39;X&#39;

The output would be:

    Test1, 1, A, D, X
    Test2, 2, B, C, X


How would I combine those two select statements into one nice select statement?

Would it work if I complicated the SQL like below (because my own SQL statement contains an exists statement)? I just want to know how I can combine the selects and then try to apply it to my somewhat more advanced SQL.

    select &#39;Test1&#39;, * from TABLE Where CCC=&#39;D&#39; AND DDD=&#39;X&#39; AND exists(select ...)
    select &#39;Test2&#39;, * from TABLE Where CCC&lt;&gt;&#39;D&#39; AND DDD=&#39;X&#39; AND exists(select ...)




&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
My REAL SQL statement is this one:

    select Status, * from WorkItems t1
    where  exists (select 1 from workitems t2 where t1.TextField01=t2.TextField01 AND (BoolField05=1) )
    AND	TimeStamp=(select max(t2.TimeStamp) from workitems t2 where t2.TextField01=t1.TextField01) 
    AND TimeStamp&gt;&#39;2009-02-12 18:00:00&#39;

which gives me a result. But I want to combine it with a copy of this select statement with an added AND on the end and the &#39;Status&#39; field would be changed with a string like &#39;DELETED&#39;.

    select &#39;DELETED&#39;, * from WorkItems t1
    where  exists (select 1 from workitems t2 where t1.TextField01=t2.TextField01 AND (BoolField05=1) )
    AND	TimeStamp=(select max(t2.TimeStamp) from workitems t2 where t2.TextField01=t1.TextField01) 
    AND TimeStamp&gt;&#39;2009-02-12 18:00:00&#39;
    AND NOT (BoolField05=1)



How do I combine 2 select statements into one?

I&#39;m currently writing a project report, and to explain the slightly crazy un-intuitive code that I&#39;ve used I need to put lots and lots of short excerpts of example code in.

How I can get code into LaTeX that:

- looks nice
- doesn&#39;t go off the side of the page if the line&#39;s too long (list lstlisting or verbatim)
- is preferably inline with the rest of the text

EDITED (Figured I&#39;d add the settings so people don&#39;t have to try and figure them out themselves (taken from wikibooks (link further down) and edited for niceness))

Nice settings:

    \usepackage{color}
    \usepackage{listings}
    \lstset{ %
    language=C++,                % choose the language of the code
    basicstyle=\footnotesize,       % the size of the fonts that are used for the code
    numbers=left,                   % where to put the line-numbers
    numberstyle=\footnotesize,      % the size of the fonts that are used for the line-numbers
    stepnumber=1,                   % the step between two line-numbers. If it is 1 each line will be numbered
    numbersep=5pt,                  % how far the line-numbers are from the code
    backgroundcolor=\color{white},  % choose the background color. You must add \usepackage{color}
    showspaces=false,               % show spaces adding particular underscores
    showstringspaces=false,         % underline spaces within strings
    showtabs=false,                 % show tabs within strings adding particular underscores
    frame=single,			% adds a frame around the code
    tabsize=2,			% sets default tabsize to 2 spaces
    captionpos=b,			% sets the caption-position to bottom
    breaklines=true,		% sets automatic line breaking
    breakatwhitespace=false,	% sets if automatic breaks should only happen at whitespace
    escapeinside={\%*}{*)}          % if you want to add a comment within your code
    }
    
    \begin{lstlisting}
    !!code!!
    \end{lstlisting}

When I export to PDF via org-mode (C-c C-e d), any words with underscores end up being partially converted to subscript. How can I prevent this from happening?

I found this article on the subject:

[Disabling Underscore subscript in Emacs Tex Mode][1]

However, I either wasn&#39;t able to figure out the correct elisp or it simply didn&#39;t work. Note, I don&#39;t want to change any global font options. I only want this fix to apply to tex/latex/org-mode.

I also found this post, though it didn&#39;t work either:

[disable subscript superscript raise/lower?][2]

I&#39;m including a table in my LaTeX document and the centering works fine if the table isn&#39;t wider than the text column above it, but when the table is wider, the left side of the table sticks to the left side of the text column, and the additional width of the table is on the right side of the page, how can I center the table?

I am using the beamer document class in latex to make a presentation.  I will have a number of back up slides which are there for offline viewing, reference etc.  Beamer has a feature that shows the progress through the presentation as {page#}/{total pages} on each slide.  I would really like it if {total pages} was equivalent to my total number of pages w/out counting the back up slides (I don&#39;t want to discourage my audience on the first page!).  Does anyone know how this can be done?

Ignoring page numbers in backup slides

As suggested [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/311118/real-time-latex/398322#398322), `latexmk` is a handy way to continually compile your document whenever the source changes.  But often when you&#39;re working on a document you&#39;ll end up with errors and then `latex` will panic and wait for user input before continuing.  That can get very annoying, especially recently when I hacked up something to compile `latex` directly from an [etherpad](http://etherpad.com) document, which saves continuously as you type.

Is there a setting for `latex` or `latexmk` to make it just abort with an error message if it can&#39;t compile?  Or, if necessary, how would I set up some kind of Expect script to auto-dismiss LaTeX&#39;s complaints?

(I had thought `pdflatex`&#39;s option `-halt-on-error` would do the trick but apparently not.)

Bonus question:  Skim on Mac OSX is a nice pdf viewer that autorefreshes when the pdf changes (unlike Preview), *except* that whenever there&#39;s a latex error it makes you reconfirm that you want autorefreshing.  Texniscope doesn&#39;t have this problem, but I had to ditch Texniscope for [other reasons](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/382608/fonts-in-pdf-documents-screwed).  Is there a way to make Skim always autorefresh, or is there another viewer that gets this right?

&lt;hr&gt;
### ADDED: Mini-tutorial on `latexmk` based on the answer to this question:

1. Get `latexmk` here:  &lt;http://www.phys.psu.edu/~collins/software/latexmk-jcc/&gt;

2. Add the following to your `~/.latexmkrc` file:

        $pdflatex = &#39;pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode&#39;;

    (For OS X with Skim)

        $pdf_previewer = &quot;open -a /Applications/Skim.app&quot;;


3. While editing your source file, `foo.tex`, run the following in a terminal:

        latexmk -pvc -pdf foo.tex

4. Use [Skim](http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/) or another realtime pdf viewer to view foo.pdf. For Skim, just look at the “Sync” tab in Skim’s preferences and set it up for your editor.  


Voila!  Hitting save on `foo.tex` will now cause `foo.pdf` to refresh without touching a thing.

Don&#39;t make me manually abort a LaTeX compile when there&#39;s an error

I&#39;m calling pdflatex from within my (C++) program using system(), needless to say all the garbage pdflatex puts on screen is a bit irritating in this case. 

So...how do I encourage pdflatex to forego the lengthy outputs? 
It would be even better if only errors would be visible...

I am writing my thesis in Latex, and I have the references in an own thesis.bib
file which look as follows

    @Article{xxx,
      author =       &quot;D.A. Reinhard&quot;,
      title =        &quot;Case Study&quot;,
      year =         &quot;1985&quot;,
    }

and I reference them in my main document as ~\cite{xxx}

When I compile then the main document with: pdflatex main.tex than
it shows me question marks instead of the proper references to the bibliography.
Do I also need to compile the bib source on its own? If yes, can somebody please
tell me the command for Linux

Many thanks!

Is it possible to generate an automatic Table of Contents using [Github Flavoured Markdown][1]?

  [1]: http://github.github.com/github-flavored-markdown/

Automatic TOC in github-flavoured-markdown

I started to use markdown to take notes.

I use **marked** to view my markdown notes and its beautiful.

But as my notes get longer I find it difficult to find what I want.

I know markdown can create tables, but is it able to create table of contents, that jumps to sections, or define page sections in markdown?

Alternatively, are there markdown readers/editors that could do such things. Search would be good feature to have too.

In short, I want to make it my awesome note taking tool and functions much like writing a book etc.

Markdown to create pages and table of contents?

How to include a local table of contents into Sphinx doc?

I tried 

    .. toc:: 


But that doesn&#39;t seem to have any effect: nothing is inserted in the document.

Basically I need links to the sections in the current page to be placed at a certain location of each page.

Is this possible?
