LaTeX: Keeping capitals in bibliography

The bibtex was removing capital letters from paper reference that I wanted to keep. It took me a little bit to figure out a solution. But I think it might be useful, so I post it below. First I present the original bibtex entry:

@INPROCEEDINGS{

(...)
TITLE = "ION Framework - A Simulation Environment for Worlds with Virtual Agent",
(...)
}

The result was:

(...) Ion framework - A simulation environment for worlds with virtual agents (...)

The solution was to add brackets to the field as shown below:


@INPROCEEDINGS{
(...)
TITLE = "{ION Framework - A Simulation Environment for Worlds with Virtual Agent}",
(...)
}

And it worked fine:

(...) ION framework - A simulation environment for worlds with virtual agents (...)

LaTeX equation editor

I've been using a very useful tool for writing equations in LaTeX. Although it is quite easy to found on the internet, I notice that some of my colleagues did not know about it. Thus, I thought it might be a good idea to publicise it here.

So, if you're using LaTeX you should give a look at the LaTeX equation editor. It is simple, fast, and accurate. And you do not need to install anything, it runs on your web browser.

Writing a number set in LaTeX

I needed to write the formal notation of a multi-dimensional dataset in my PhD dissertation. Since I'm using LaTeX and this dataset consists on a real number set I just have to use the mathbb font, provided by amsfonts or amssymb packages.

Thus, providing that the proper packages were included in the preamble of the document, I just had to use, in math mode:

\mathbb{R}^n

to obtain:

Supressing page breaks in LaTeX

I wanted to keep together a paragraph and following quote on a document written in LaTeX. However, the \nopagebreak command does not work properly in this case. Indeed, \nopagebreak does not suppress the page breaks that are deliberately inserted around environments like {quote}. The solution was enclosing the text I want to keep in the same page within {samepage} environment. Something like this:

\begin{samepage}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit:
\begin{quote}
Quisque leo.
\end{quote}
\end{samepage}
