@FaheemMitha "Finally, the first author wishes to thank the members of the StackExchange question-answer sites, especially stackoverflow.com, unix.stackexchange.com, and tex.stackexchange.com, for answering many questions in connection with this project. The members of tex.stackexchange.com were particularly helpful in helping with LaTeX issues." Cool!
@herbert: Note that I moved the OP's "answer" to an edit of the question: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/32211/…. You just commented on that post seconds earlier. You should re-add you comment to the question.
@BrunoLeFloch : They're seriously fuzzy. Take a look at the pdf. Or the html for that matter. I was not very happy with this journal. Do you know it is their policy that they don't give the authors proofs of the article to check before publishing?
And they're very popular. Just goes to show how screwed up the world of journal publishing is.
@AndreyVihrov Reasoning for no journal proofs? To do as little work as possible, I suppose, and maximize profit.
According to what I read, PLoS uses PLoS ONE as a "cash cow" (if that is the right term) to subsidize their more prestigious journals like PLoS computational biology.
So its a fairly simple question to a problem people normally experience. I have a rough idea of what to do, but I am looking for the correct way of doing things. So in the solution I will include what would be the bare minimum requirements I think would get this problem solved. I am looking for f...
I have the following setup, I have a file with some definitions, one of which is a list of items:
\newcommand{\mylist}{
\item first item
\item second item
\item third item
}
I want to use \mylist in two different ways, first
\begin{itemize}
\mylist
\end{itemize}
and second,

Friends, I need help on these English constructs: - "A new version is available" or "A newer version is available" - "Could you consider sending me an anonymous error report?" (is there a better way to say this?)
I've never seen that symbol. But here's how you can define it
\DeclareRobustCommand{\divby}{%
\mathrel{\vbox{\baselineskip.65ex\lineskiplimit0pt\hbox{.}\hbox{.}\hbox{.}}}%
}
It's just an almost straightforward modification of \vdots.
\newcommand{\bignatural}{\mathop{\mathchoice
{\vcenter{\hbox{\LARGE$\natural$}}}
{\vcenter{\hbox{\large$\natural$}}}
{\vcenter{\hbox{\footnotesize$\natural$}}}
{\vcenter{\hbox{\scriptsize$\natural$}}}
}\displaylimits}
Here are examples in the four styles (the \sum is for comparison; loa...
Nothing against Ian Thompson, who had his answer accepted; but that answer is clearly inadequate.
@PauloCereda I would say "a new version is available" to announce it, but "a newer version is available" to somebody who's using the older one. Let's hear what Alan has to say.
@egreg Just to clarify, my previous comment didn't imply anything against the 22 up-votes; I like your answer (in fact; I was writing almost the same and you beat me!) and I myself up-voted it. It's more about the phenomenon (several times mentioned here) with the voting of some questions/answers.
@PauloCereda I don't feel any necessity for it: write "a | b" to say that "b is divisible by a". Of course it would be better if the commonest relation was the converse, so that 0 would be the minimum and 1 the maximum just as usual in lattice theory.
But it has a reason: a ≤ b can be defined as "there is c s.t. a+c=b", while a | b is "there is c s.t. ac=b". Just the same definition, changing the operation.
@egreg Let me find it (I have it here, I read it every time when I'm about to use a new symbol in a text).
"As a young aspiring mathematician I was fond of symbols and overused them; experience showed me that less symbols and more words may make the exposition clearer. In some papers one can find newly created symbols that are used only a couple of times: these are obvious signs of "symbol addiction". As another example, long descriptions of sets with X={x\in U:...} may almost always be improved by saying the set $X$ consisting of elements $x\in U$ such that ..." - egreg
Here you can see the swag package. I made the photo during the TeX Users Group Conference 2011 in India, where it's been arranged on a table in a room where we met for coffee breaks during the conference.
Is Google Books a reliable source of BiBTeX records? I've found a negative feedback back from 2008, and not sure it is sill valid. Unlike Lead2Amazon and Tungare's ISBN to BibTeX converter, Google Books relatively well understands Unicode and replaces it with control sequences. But are there fact...

Since this question is on our front page again, I think it might be valid to mention this year's TUG presentation by Ross Moore, as Stefan pointed out:
This year’s TUG conference, the 32nd annual meeting of the TeX Users Group, was held in Thiruvananthapuram aka Trivandrum, Kerala, India. It focuses on document production using TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, MetaPost, and related software and this year it’s hosted by River Valley Technologies.
A short time after Stack Exchange joined the TUG as institutional member, following an initiative on TeX.SX meta, I became individual TUG member. As Stack Exchange offered sponsorship for attending important conferences, I asked Stack Exchange if they would sponsor my travel to the TUG meeting. They ag …
