As a result of me discovering this new review feature, I've been using that tool a whole lot more recently.
While I was reviewing some posts in the week/month date ranges, some edits were suggested as well. I noticed that each time I switched to the suggested edits tab, the date range would rese...
Who can test the example (I uses tikz csv): \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \verb+shift+ \begin{tikzpicture} \node at (0,0) (i0){}; \node at (2,2) (i1){}; \draw[red] (i0) -- (i1); \draw[blue](i0) -- ([xshift=2cm]i1); %%\draw[blue] (i0) -- ([yshift=1cm]i1); %\draw[green] ([xshift=2pt]i0) -- ([xshift=2pt]i1); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}
After beating the castle of Special World 1 you unlock Luigi as a playable character. I played as him for a bit but I didn't notice any game play differences between Mario and Luigi. I remember in Super Mario Galaxy that Luigi could jump further, but he took longer to stop.

My first /facepalm of the year: "Funny, why doesn't beamer show numbered captions?". Then I read the manual and found \setbeamertemplate{caption}[numbered]. It was like "Dear Paulo, please RTFM." :)
@egreg I've been trying to work out how \pdfmatch works for a faster answer than using macro-based regex stufff. However, \pdfmatch is a bit of a nightmare to understand. For example, it seems to do an anchored match, although that is not mentioned in the pdfTeX manual.
I'm trying to clear off the LyX question that was migrated. The question is from October so I doubt that the OP is around to answer questions, but I'd like to make an answer that might be useful for others. So here's my question.
What is the simplest way to verify on a Windows system that you have a TeX distribution installed?
@AlanMunn I'd check the %PATH% environment variable and look for MiKTeX/TeXLive entries. I know newer versions of Windows have a where command, similar to *nix which, so if I go to the command prompt and type, say, where tex, the return is C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\tex.exe.
@PauloCereda I think it does, but I don't know how recent that part of the installer is. But I think that when it does install it it installs a proper installation, not one specifically for LyX.
Doesn't MikTeX have some GUI management program that is installed and should be found in the START menu? This would seem to be the simplest verification strategy for naive users.
@lockstep That's not surprising. We're all pretty much anti-LyX around here, with a few exceptions. I had a student who started to use it because it was "simpler", and ended up with no end of problems. Things that were trivial to do with a regular latex become completely opaque in LyX.
@MarcoDaniel LyX is the Windows of LaTeX: it tries to hide everything from the user. And just as there are expert Windows users there are also expert LyX users, but for the non-experts, the hiding isn't always beneficial.
What should one do if you flagged a post as a duplicate, but either discovered that it wasn't the duplicate you posted, or that it actually is not a duplicate anymore?
Thanks, for reference: "Close votes age away harmlessly after 4 days if the threshold is not reached. Each new close vote resets the timer, and close votes only start expiring if the question has had 100 views."
@GonzaloMedina That's certainly true. Despite being a hardened Mac user, I can't figure out what I would actually do with one. (But then I also have an Android phone and not an iPhone, so maybe I'm not so hardened after all.)
I once saw on television that there's a priest from Florianópolis who has an iPad and uses it during the masses with the texts from the Roman Missal. :)
@Werner For me, spelling is a political act. I live and teach in the US, but my spelling remains staunchly Canadian. I even use "zed", although mainly with grad students who are aware of the issue.
I need help -- I can't believe the following result. By using `calc` the command `global` has no effect: \documentclass{article} \parindent0pt %\usepackage{calc} \def\exampletext{Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text } \fboxsep=0pt \fboxrule=1pt \hfuzz=\maxdimen
@MarcoDaniel \global doesn't work in front of \setlength; use \global\dimen@\wd\tw@; but it's best to use odd-numbered scratch registers when doing global assignments.
It's not a bug. Simply \setlength is not thought for global assignments.
Somebody is using a package that starts \typeout{Document Style Option uowthesis' by Mansour Esmaili <19 Nov 1995>.} \input epsf` and is wondering why it gives problems. :(
@GonzaloMedina: I owe you another drink. I was struggling with beamer for at least five hours. I was unable to change the frametitle color. I messed with all possible files. I even dissected a seagull. And this brilliant answer of yours saved the day. Thanks! :)

I'm looking for the equivalent of the \textvbaraccent command for the math mode.
