It is high time that I read papers and work with my teammates to do some research works on Computer Architecture, after some awful experience with MS Word, I decided to use latex to take notes. In this post, I will briefly record the various problems encountered when using emacs+auctex.

1 When things go wrong running C-c C-c to generate *.bbl from *.bib.

I admit emacs is smart enough to do what is supposed to do in a latex buffer, but sometimes things may get more complicated than emacs itself can resolve, so it is necessary to help emacs a little. The problem is that when I run C-c C-c to a latex buffer, it failed to generate the *.aux and *.bbl files, which are used for bib, the way to solve this problem is to run the following commands manually:

pdflatex jobname.tex Generate the jobname.aux file for bibtex
bibtex jobname.aux Create the jobname.bbl from the jobname.aux file
pdflatex jobname.tex Generate the pdf file from the above files
pdflatex jobname.tex Resolve undefined reference

2 The correct way to insert newlines in a section of text, not a paragraph.

Line break accepts optional argument in brackets, whirs tells the vertical length to separate:

line1
\\[1\baselineskip]
line2

3 Why do you sometimes encounter the WARNING underfull \hbox?

This problem has something to do with the inter-word space of one line, when all the words in the line can not be cut properly, latex will complain about, so re-word the sentence can always solve the problem. By the way, latex can still produce the correct document if you ignore the warning.

4 How to make the necessary packages to compile the tex files for IEEE conference and transactions?

When texlive (not texlive-full) is installed, not all packages are installed by default, but avoid the temptation to try sudo apt-get install texlive-full, it will eat up much disk space, perhaps more than 2 GB. What is needed is texlive-science and a IEEEtran.bst file.
