LaTeX is really not very user-centric when it comes to font-line spacing.  Most users would expect the linespacing to change at the place where invoked.  I have run into issues like this many times, and usually found hacks (uselessly changing font size, for example) to make it happen how it want it.  But it would really be nice to learn how this really ought to be done correctly.  So, here is the example that illustrates the question: \documentclass[11pt]{article}  \usepackage{color} \usepackage{setspace} \setstretch{0.75}  %% at 10pt, min seems to be 0.75;  0.7 is more distant, 0.8 is more distant  \newcommand{\notesclass}[2]{{\par{\setstretch{5}\medskip\noindent\tiny\textbf{#1:} #2}}\par} %% useless overkill: \renewcommand{\notesclass}[2]{\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}{\par{\setstretch{5}\medskip\noindent\tiny\textbf{#1:} #2}}\par\end{minipage}\par}  \providecommand{\source}[1]{\notesclass{Source}{#1}}  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%  \begin{document}  I am trying to define a macro that reliably typesets content (that explains my tables) in a font-size and line-spacing of my preference.  For sake of visual illustration, I have set the main text to ugly 0.75 spacing.  (I also do not  understand why 0.75 is the minimum setstretch spacing when 10pt is my article main font; either  0.7 or 0.8 creates linespacing that is larger.)   \begin{table}\color{blue}    --- Table Blue Starts    \source{I would have wanted the 5 spacing here.  Why does this still have spacing that seems  to be based on the font-size of the main paragraph (10pt)?  LaTeX has recognized that it is in  tiny.}    --- Table Blue Ends  \end{table}  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%  \begin{table}\color{red}    --- Table Red Starts    \source{I understand why this has 5 spacing relative to the actual font size that I used. It  is actually what I wanted.      Alas, despite the par at the end of the notesclass macro, this has the same normalsize- font-related 0.75 separation that I did not want. I would have wanted the 5 spacing here.  Even  stranger, if the documentclass is changed from 11pt to 12pt, table red changes in incongruous fashion.}     --- Table Red Ends  \end{table}  \end{document}   What comes out is  Of course, my intent is not to use 5.0 linespacing, but 0.95 linespacing on a footnotesize font in order to compactly display the source references for my floats.
I'm embarking on a journey to create a conference abstract book using XeTeX and got stuck within five minutes:        The missing 'g' in 'somethin' influences the line height of the following line. How can I correct this?  At the end I want to be able to include the abstracts and corresponding information through our online registration system, so this should be a global setting.

Which repository source do I need to add to my sources.list to access the package firmware-linux-nonfree?  I am using Deb 6 testing 32 bit. Blank white desktop icons on new Windows 7 install I just did a fresh install of Windows 7 professional on my father's Toshiba Satellite laptop and everything went smoothly except for the fact that certain desktop shortcuts appear as a blank white page.    I've tried:    going in and changing the icon to many different things reloading the icon cache by deleting the IconCache.db file uninstalling his Free AVG as he heard the virus scanner might be preventing it (it wasn't and he put it back.)   The one thing these icons have in common is that they are shortcuts to some very old DOS executables.  One of them is Word Star 2000 to give you an idea.

I was thinking of showing $A$ is not invertible, meaning it has an eigenvalue of $0$. Since no matter the power you give to $A$, it is still not the identity, you can deduce that at least one eigenvalue is indeed $0$. However this doesn't work if you have different eigenvalues in the Matrix, so I got stuck.  Help will be most appreciated. How to obtain inverse behavior for `tail` and `head`?

Removing repeated page numbers from table of contents Hi I'm trying to create a document in LaTeX with a few small subsections on the same page, is there any way to remove the repeated page numbers and keep the numbers when I move onto a new page? The complex general linear group is a subgroup of the group of real matrices of twice the dimension and with positive determinant.  Let us decompose complex matrices $M$ as $M=A+iB$, where $A,B$ are real matrices. Now consider the correspondence $$f(A+iB)=\begin{pmatrix} A &amp; -B \\ B &amp; A\end{pmatrix}.$$  If $\det f(M)=|\det M|^2$ for square matrices, then we would have $GL(n,\mathbb C)\subseteq GL_+(2n,\mathbb R)$ with the identification $M\to f(M)$, which is an injective homomorphism. In other words, the complex general linear group would be a subgroup of the group of real matrices of twice the dimension and with positive determinant.  How is $\det f(M)=|\det M|^2$?

With the release of the Canon EOS R5/R6, there have been many saying that they prefer the 20MP R6 camera over the 45MP R5 camera, due to its lower price but also because of &quot;better low-light performance.&quot; In camera comparison sites, I've also seen the sentiment that bigger pixels (lower resolution) = better low light performance. However, is this a myth? Here is my reasoning for this. Let's say that there are two full-frame sensors, one 20MP sensor and a 80MP sensor. According to many people, the 80MP sensor would be terrible for low-light photography since the pixels are smaller. However, each 2x2 block in the 80MP sensor could be mapped, and in post averaged to a 1x1 pixel, effectively making the image into a 20MP image. This could also be done in-camera as an option. Would this image have just the same amount of usable information as the image from the 20MP sensor? In other terms, since both sensors are 35mm sensors (i.e. equal area), the amount of light falling onto the sensor is the same. So, at the end of the day, there will be no difference between a 20MP image and a 20MP image that has been downsampled from 80MP, right? So their low-light performance would be the same. You even get an advantage from having the option to get 80MP photos if you wanted. Why do people say that a lower-resolution camera has better low-light performance, when it should theoretically be the same as one with higher resolution (all other factors equal)? Note: this question is about sensors with the same size but with different pixel density. Hence, it is different from  asking about different sensor sizes. I am aware that a full-frame camera will have better low-light signal due to its bigger area than an APS-C sensor, but what about the similarly sized sensors?
