TeX Stuff

  • My NSF proposal is one big TeX file, but I need to create dvi files for certain page ranges for uploading to various categories in FastLane. Is there an easy way to do this?
  • My NSF proposal is done in TeX, but it includes some graphs in separate files, and I'm having trouble getting FastLane's procedure for uploading such separate files to work. Is there a way to include the graphs as part of the dvi file, so I need only upload a single dvi file?
  • How do you create a dvi file for a specified page range? (This can be useful when you want to upload dvi files for given parts of a proposal to FastLane.)
  • What about including graphs in a TeX document?
  • Are there macros for doing exams? (plainTeX macro) (LaTeX:Phil's macros)
