 +====== Central TeXLive distributions ======
 +
 +If you are using TeXLive on your linux workstations you may use texlive-full portable installed in:
 +
 +  /opt/texlive
 +  
 +There are folders for several years backward up to the latest distribution.
 +
 +In order to use the shared TeX binaries from the command line, you may want to add the following line to your .bashrc:
 +
 +  export PATH=/opt/texlive/2018/bin/x86_64-linux/:$PATH
 +
 +=== Texstudio ===
 +You may use {{ :latex:texlive-portable2018-full.zip |this}} config file for setting up **texstudio** to use version from 2018.

 +    % settings
 +    \markright{Author Name}    % or e.g. package fancyhdr
 +    \setcounter{page}{13}      % number of first page
 +    % inserting (first page with pagenumber in the foot, others in the head with author name)
 +    \includepdf[pages=1, pagecommand={\thispagestyle{plain}}]{file.pdf}
 +    \includepdf[pages=2-, pagecommand={\thispagestyle{myheadings}}]{file.pdf}</code>
 +  * ''\textwidth'', ''\linewidth'', ''\columnwidth'', ''\hsize'' and others explained [[http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/16942/difference-between-textwidth-linewidth-and-hsize|here]] (You want ''\linewidth'' in most cases.)
 +  * Useful **packages**:
 +    * Source printing: //''fancyvrb''//, //''listings''//
 +    * //''fancyhdr''//
 +    * pseudocode //''algorithmicx''//
 +    * trees: //''xytree''// (complicated), //''dtree''// (Obo, pstricks), //''xyling''// (Martin P., ''\B'' and ''\T'' must be relaxed)
 +    * tables: //''xtab''// (better than ''longtable'' or ''supertabular''), //''tabulary''// (pretty wrapped text in autosized cells, similar to ''tabularx''), //''booktabs''// (no vertical lines, ''\toprule'', ''\midrule''/''\cmidrule'', ''\bottomrule'' instead of ''\hline''/''\cline'') (all from this [[http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2007-1/mori/mori.pdf|compendium]])
 +  * ''longtable'' or ''xtabular'' environment **cannot** be inside ''table'' environment. (Put it inside ''center'' instead, since you cannot use ''\centering'' as before.) 
 +  * **Higher cells/rows in tables** can be achieved either by ''booktabs'' package, or (if you have to use **vertical lines** in tables) by inserting ''\toppadding'' and ''\bottompadding'' in every row:<code>
 +    \newcommand\toppadding{\rule{0pt}{2.6ex}}
 +    \newcommand\bottompadding{\rule[-1.2ex]{0pt}{0pt}}
 +    ...
 +    \hline
 +    \toppadding First cell\bottompadding & Second cell & Third one \\
 +    \hline
 +    ...</code>
 +  * ''hyperref'' package:
 +    * If some **links from ToC** point to **incorrect** objects (e.g. section III.2.5 points to the page where the section I.2.5 starts), then the problem is in internal hyperref naming convention (both section in the example are represented as 'section.2.5'). You can change it either by
 +      * ''naturalnames=true'' (=> 'section.III.2.5'), or
 +      * ''hypertexnames=false'' (=> 'section.289')
 +  * **New** type of **float** and its **List of**<code>

 +====== pdf-a verification of theses ======
 +All theses submitted at the Charles University must be in the pdf-a format,
 +following a specific set of requirements defined by a university profile.
 +`/lnet/ms/projects/verapdf/checkpdf` in the ufal internal network is a wrapper for the verapdf tool which you can use to check whether your thesis fulfills these requirements. New university profiles appear regularly at  
 +https://cuni.cz/UK-7987.html , so don't rely on the default.
  
 +[[vernerova@ufal.mff.cuni.cz|Anša's]] experience:
 +I used Eda's LaTeX template (send me an e-mail if you want to get it) and no amount of tweaking would give me a valid pdf-a, even though I was using 
 +    \usepackage[a-2u]{pdfx}
 +and compiling with a wrapper script containing the line 
 +    LC_ALL=cs_CZ.UTF-8 xelatex -shell-escape -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -z 0" -synctex=1 "$@"
 +I sent my pdf file to [[https://www.mff.cuni.cz/cs/fakulta/organizacni-struktura/lide?hdl=2684|Petra Hoffmannová from the library]], who ran my pdf file through Adobe Acrobat (the library has a commercial licence)... and voilà, it was a valid pdf-a. Unlike verapdf, Acrobat also gives a detailed summary of the exact issues with your file (like which piece of text in which image fails the validation).
