@FaheemMitha I just cut-and-pasted what you put in that paste bin, ran lualatex foo.tex and it worked as I expected. There were no errors. There was also no output, but that was because there were no files with name toinput.... So I put in a load of such files, toinput<n>.tex containing Now including file <n>\par (with <n> ranging from 0 to 10) and got what I expected: a PDF with lots of lines saying Now including file <n> (but not in the numerical order!).
@MartinScharrer What do you want? A medal? If you really want to slow it down, throw in some font changes using unicode-math. Actually, I'm going to time how long my lectures take to compile just to see if it is comparable! See you in a couple of hours.
@AndrewStacey It's embarrassing. I just tried lualatex foo.tex "again" and it worked. Then I looked at what I had typed yesterday. I thought I was typing lualatex foo.tex, but apparently I was typing lualatex inputall.lua (hence the quotes around again). I think I must have been asleep on my feet.
I've cut it down to specifying a style on the matrix and then a following command. It would be great to be able to eliminate one of those. The style is there essentially to record the name and inner sep of the matrix as these don't seem to be available after the matrix is drawn. But one needs to be careful with remembering these, as the same pgf keys get used for the inner nodes in the matrix.
But the main command does have to be executed after the matrix is drawn since it refers to information that is only known once the matrix has been figured out. I guess that this doesn't technically have to be after the matrix has been actually drawn, but figuring out how and where to put a hook is beyond me!
How do we feel about l33tisms like "plz" (or is that a lolcatism?) I can find more reasons to discourage them than to allow them. The major reason for discouragement being that I find them annoying.
@MatthewLeingang I find them irritating too. But there's a serious issue here about how much editing we should allow ourselves to do. Fixing typos, marking code, removing greetings... fine. but would removing these expressions fall under that sort of "housekeeping"?
@Seamus I wouldn't go so far as to edit them out but I'd kind of like to have a policy saying "we use fairly standard English to be accessible to the largest number of people" [that we can be with a single language.]
On the other hand one could say we should remain accessible to people who only know lolcat English...and that I'm trying to form policy around my pet peeves...
@MatthewLeingang: Did you had a chance to try the \Alt macro I coded for you? I coded a \Temporal macro in the meantime for a similar question. I'm planning to make some code improvements on it and send it to Till Tantau as feature suggestion.

Is it possible to add a postaction to the labelcells key and have it execute \labelcells?
There is \pgf@matrix@colum@sep@<column> which might be useful, but no equivalent for rows (as the matrix is constructed row-wise, it is not needed in the pgf code).
Hi everyone,
I don't use MiKTeX or any other package managers. I usually install new styles/libraries by adding the .sty file to the same directory as the .tex file and compile using pdflatex.
I figured out I have pgf version 2.0 and want to upgrade to version 2.10. I already tried doing texhas...
I have two things to say: First, looks like a duplicate of "Upgrading TikZ". Secondly, do we have a "do not do that" tag? (For putting the style files in the same directory as the .tex file every time).
Here's another that could do with a little attention: duplicate needs closing, and I suspect we have this question already on this site, unless the footnote bit makes a difference.
Hi, I can show ~(tilde) in normal text, using text as follows,
\begin{quote}
\verb|~|
\end{quote}
But the problem is when I try to put this in footnote{}. Error will be thrown, how should I do this? Thanks
I solved this now using a Greasemonkey script which copies the URL parameters to the form.
The Makefile calls firefox with the URL including the parameters.
This works for my needs. Some refinements would be needed for more complex input, i.e. some URL encoding.

Sometimes I have smaller updates of more than one of my packages and filling out the form with mostly constant data all the time annoyed me.
