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:

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:

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.
