My equation is very long. How do I get it to continue on the next line rather than go off the page?

Use listings package. Simple configuration for LaTeX header (before \begin{document}): You can change default language in the middle of document with \lstset{language=Java}. Example of usage in the document: Here’s the result:

The “Missing $ inserted” is probably caused by the underscores and bars. These characters in LaTeX have special meaning in math mode (which is delimited by $ characters). Try escaping them; e.g. update\_element instead of update_element. However, if you’re trying to display code, a better solution would be to use the \verb command, which will typeset the text in a monospaced font … Read more

This is a classic difficulty in LaTeX. The problem is how to do layout with floats (figures and tables, an similar objects) and footnotes. In particular, it is hard to pick a place for a float with certainty that making room for the associated footnotes won’t cause trouble. So the standard tabular and figure environments don’t even try.

Here are some considerations: While \MinNumber is defined to be 0, you have a number that is smaller than that in the table (-0.01). If you’re performing a test on dimensions (\ifdim <dimA><relation><dimB>) you need to make sure both <dimA> and <dimB> are dimensions. In your case you have\ifdim#1pt>\MidNumber and \MidNumber is clearly not a dimension. It is just a number (0.8). That’s the main … Read more
