Apologies if this is a too obvious question  How to type the "Percentage" sign in .tex ? Eg. 10 followed by the percentage.  Thank you.

I am designing gamecards in LaTeX  Everything is going pretty ok so far but when i try to insert the %-sign for a question about percentages my file keeps giving errors.  I tried putting the percentage between dollarsigns because i know just % will make it a 'remark' and that the dollarsign makes it 'mathematical data'.   Whats the reason for the error?   P.s. the error says: file ended while scanning use of \kaart. ...    Codesample:   {\kaart{Bekijk statistiek kaart F:   Schat het percentage mensen dat als lievelingseten spaghetti opgaven, je mag er slechts $ 2% $ langs zitten. } { $ 11% $}}

Is there a quicker way of doing boldface in math mode instead of typing out \mathbf{} each time?  (It gets cumbersome when you denote simple vectors with boldface...)

I accidentally, discovered that using | in text mode produces an em dash. I did a quick search, but I could not find a reference where this is noted. I wonder if there is any difference between this and ---? Otherwise, it seems easier to just type one character instead of three.

What is the easiest way to superscript text outside of math mode?  For example, let's say I want to write the $n^{th}$ element, but without the math mode's automatic italicization of the th.  And what if I still want the n to be in math mode, but the th outside?

I'm new to TeX and tried to enter an equation using \mathbb. I received a prompt  LaTeX Error: \mathbb allowed only in math mode. See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.   I thought I would try here for an explanation.

Is either of these considered better/more readable/more "proper"/more conventional than the other for making text bold? If so, what is the reason?  I like my text \textbf{bold}   versus:  I like my text {\bf bold}

How could I write my name, for example, in a \LaTeX style? It is just interesting, as in Google all other things pop up when I try to search for an answer!

Is there a standard TeX or LaTeX code for a symbol that bears the same relation to  \prec\prec that \ll bears to &lt;&lt; ?  (And how do I get TeX code to get rendered in a question posted here?  I'm accustomed to writing things like $\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n!}$ on math.stackexchange.com and having it look the way you'd expect it to.)

I have Ubuntu on my MacBook 2007 with a Spanish keyboard, on MacOS the @-sign was typed using Alt (Option) + 2, but on Ubuntu I have no idea. I have to copy and paste it every time. How do I type an at sign?

Today I tried to learn more about the several interaction modes for tex/latex/pdflatex etc. The manpages turned out to be not very helpful:  $ man tex      ...     -interaction mode         Sets  the interaction mode.  The mode can be either batchmode,         nonstopmode, scrollmode, and errorstopmode. The meaning of these         modes is the same as that of the corresponding \commands.     ...   While Google quickly helped me to learn what I wanted to know, I was suprised that I wasn't able to find useful and official documentation about this topic. After turning the whole documentation of my TeXLive distribution upside down I am asking now, if someone can please point me to the official and detailed documenation (if it exists) concerning the interaction modes and maybe the default values to some of the other commandline options.

I want to assign some text to F keys on Windows 7.     For example, I want to press F5 to paste "000", or press F6 to paste ".00 US Dollars".  It would be appreciated if anyone can help me (a piece of software or code).

How can I make LaTeX use symbols (*, †, ‡, and so on) instead of numbers to mark footnotes?  (The numbers are confusing because I use superscripted numbers for citations.)

Why is that most of the words, almost 90 percent, are marked as misspelled words when there is no error? And the spellchecking suggestions don't even look like English.  I am using TeXstudio as my editor.

On , there is a "top x%" label:    But this is not shown for some users:    Why is that so? I don't see any settings to hide this.

Are there any hotkeys to make a text bold or italic in TeXlipse plug-in? It is tiresome to type \textbf{} and \textit{} each time I need to emphasize some word. Most of other TeX-editors support standard Ctrl+B" and Ctrl+I, but in TeXlipse it doesn't work.

I saw two less than signs on this Wikipedia article and I was wonder what they meant mathematically.    EDIT: It looks like this can use TeX commands. So I think this is the symbol: $\ll$

I wanted to know if someone could point me to a reference where I could learn more about the \the command. Searching for "the" has been, without surprise, entirely unproductive. Even consulting "comprehensive" LaTeX command/macro lists has been unfruitful.   is the only treatment of the subject that I could find, but it was not very informative.
