I use the subfig package and when I compiled my thesis in Linux I encountered a problem, when I used the \subref command in the caption of a figure. The compilation was stopped with the error message “Argument of \@tempf has an extra }.”
Scanning the internet I found this forum entry in German where it was proposed to add the command “\protect” before “\subref{fig:1}, which actually did the trick for me. I didn’t have this problem though with MikTeX.
This was a rather long break from posting something to this blog, I wanted to write often, but never did actually. But let’s resume with something which is related to my first blog entries. For my thesis I was looking for a book about thermionic emission of ions, called “The Emission Of Electricity From Hot Bodies”, and since it was published 1916 or so, I thought maybe I find something in the net – and guess what? The Internet Archive was providing a scanned copy. Such a cool service!
So I remembered, that I had already used it before to download a live concert of Fugazi, and there is another concert, one of their last, which you should download. It’s a 400MB download and the files are shn audio, but here is a tutorial how to convert shn files to mp3 files.
