This solution is based on soul. \srotate takes the text and rotates the tokens, centered at the math axis. Because of the rotation the side bearings are missing, thus the code adds .05ex around the letters, hyphens get a little more space.

My problem is the following. I would like to draw the (magnified) axes on the magnified area of spy. For instance, take the following example (from pgfplots.pdf, p.121):

@Qrrbrbirlbel I have been using \footnote in my internal doc for a long time and have soooo many errors that I am trying to clean them up, and found found that issue when I tried a quick fix..
@percusse Well, then in that case it would be a DU, not a TL.
Regarding the minipage: Footnotes in for example tabular and the like don't work out-of-the-box, neither. I guess, something similar applies here, too.
@percusse Good point. Guess it needs someone to start a process (either as a DU, or TL) and see what others say..
@Qrrbrbirlbel Hmmmm... It does seem to get the same label, which is surprising...
@Qrrbrbirlbel I had thought of storing the footnote text in a list, but your idea is better. Both probably won't work in the general case of a large document, but would be good enough for my use.
@PeterGrill There is also a problem if you use \label in a special way inside math mode so that you need to \let it to something else before and the other macro. I can only find an answer of my own, where I used it, but not the question I read that before.
It was related to the fact that the whole thing is processed more than once.
OK, I am going to have to fire my entire QA department!! :-) Your solution works fine except for the case you mentioned of having more than one footnote.
Just needed to uncomment things..
I think the thing to do would be to keep a list of the footnotemarks, but not sure how to get those... But if the same mark counter is not incremented, that is where the logic should be?
@Qrrbrbirlbel Using your knowledge of the underlying process to fix TeX issues is really cheating, deciphering it by trial and error is the gentlemanly way to go.
@PeterGrill Yes, all starred environments don't increment the counter, so at the next equation/environment we will see still the old value in our own macro that we used to check if we processed a footnote before.
Without unnumbered, equation, this could work (if TeX doesn't trick me again).
@Qrrbrbirlbel I think we can handle it across different align* by incrementing a counter to count the number of align (but do recall egreg saying somewhere that patching align has to be done with care.
This question led to a new package:
lua-visual-debug
Some of you may know the Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox that can outline the block level elements of a page like this:
Is there a way to do something similar with TeX boxes for a complete document?
@PeterGrill The culprit is \@thefnmark but still, it works inside the sbox... and using \footnote inside the true part works, too. This is so weird ...
@PeterGrill I have updated my answer, there are some comments in the code, things to improve. I'm sure my answer is obsolete by the time David or Enrico have read your question.
@PeterGrill Yes, and I forgot to go to bed (5:12 am here). \bye
@Werner: Sorry about that. I saw that you beat me by 3 seconds, but I had to change room as my battery on my Mac died. After getting back up, my answer was already accepted.. Probably due to the better image :-)
This is legacy code left over from my early days and is used only for internal documentation. Up until now I have left it with 4 repetitions of the footnotes, but decided to clean it up. I probably won't be using \footnotes at all in my real content...
Actually I do have a lot of overfull boxes but don't know how to find 'em. And they aren't small amounts either...
OMG... Breaking news everybody: I was able to improve a Heiko(TM) answer: Offset a symbol without changing layout. But sadly this might mean that I loose a green tick. Still was worth it I think. :-)
@PeterGrill It's too late: you had footnotes to math in those documents, so they will never be paginated correctly. It's an ancient curse, whose origin is unknown but is attributed to Gutenberg himself or Manuzio. :)
Quick stupid question: In a math float, when I write "89182,24 seconds \approxeq 24,8 hours", this renders to "89182,24seconds ~= 24,8hours", i.e. no spaces between the number and "seconds/hours". What happens here?
@PauloCereda well oddly enough I have to go to work during the day.
@HenningKlevjer all white space in math is ignored (it would also have typeset seconds using the wrong font} . What do do depends on what you want and what the context is
@HenningKlevjer if it is a natural language sentence then 89182,24 seconds ${}\approxeq{}$ 24,8 hours if it is a math expression with units written in full then $89182,24 \mathrm{seconds} \approxeq 24,8 \mathrm{hours}$ or perhaps with \, before the mathrm
@PauloCereda Why not about enumerate? He says he has to work; also I have, and in this very moment I'm working. The students in front of me are doing their written exam. :)
One question, in stackexchange it is possible to talk with a specific user? For example, by means of an e-mail or so? I want to ask to Tom Bombadil (tex.stackexchange user), if I can to use its code (for an answer of his own) in a LPPL package.
But the last time Tom Bombadil was seen in tex.stachexchange was in one month ago
without in*, sorry xD
Oh, just now I see that in stackexchange there are a specific chat to talk about this type of question.
@Peregring-lk Obviously if you can get hold of the author it's polite to ask but you can use any code posted to the network under this CC licence without needing to ask creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5 (see the "legal" link at the bottom of the main site page)
@Peregring-lk AFAIK there are no private messages available. One possible solution is to create a chatroom and invite Tom to join in (even so, the chatroom will be public for everybody to see). As David mentioned, everything posted here, when it's not stated which kind of license it is, it's available under CC.
@PauloCereda It's not clear to me that you are allowed to post code and say it's under a different licence (you could obviously link to other licenced code) it seems to me that the sx terms mean that by including code in an answer you automatically licence it under CC
You agree that all Subscriber Content that You contribute to the Network is perpetually and irrevocably licensed to Stack Exchange under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike license
I know. But CC is copyleft. The license of my "document" together with a custom package, is CC-BY-SA also, but I want to permit other users use my document under LPPL license, only in case they want to create a LaTeX package or style and so to colaborate with the LaTeX comunity. And for this reason I have to ask to Tom, if he gives me permission to make this doble-license with his content.
Ho @TomBombadil Tom Bombadill-o/Bright blue his jacket is and his boots are yellow/Will you be a-visiting TeX-SX again-o/Can you relicense your code and make your packages free-o?
I've readed one time in tex o meta forums that an user can permit other licenses for his answers (describing under which concrete licenses an user can use them)
Licences are a pain I just ended up with four licences (W3C softare, MIT, MPL 1.1 MPL 2) on a bit of XSL that I distribute. The text of the licences is far bigger than the code (just referencing four licences is an appreciable fraction of the file size). I really just want it to say YOU CAN USE THIS but corporate lawyers don't like that.
@Peregring-lk oh yes the author of the code so long as he retains copyright can give it to anyone under any licence.
I tried to do something similar once. I didn't like it so I didn't polish the code but maybe it's a good starting point for you or for someone else. Since you're using memoir, you should be able to just copy this in your preamble:
\makepagestyle{myVertical}
\makerunningwidth{myVertical}{1.08\tex...
@DavidCarlisle If you are not a member of the corporation, you don't need to use legally meaningful otherwise nonsensical text. We are not obliged to use any legally binding text. It's lawyers' job to interpret it whenever needed. If you just mention Use at your own risk they have to project it back to their wicked domain.
There are a lot of discussions in the university for the open-source robotics code too because we want to release under very mild conditions but the legal office sends us weird text.
And we refuse to put a text that we don't understand :)
@percusse It all depends, in this case I wanted mozilla to use some of my code, and they wanted to use my code and I didn't want to be the person causing yet another licence to be added to the about firefox box that everyone on the planet doesn't read, so I just relicenced my code to whatever causes the least pain on their side
@DavidCarlisle That's very convenient of you :) Our legal office also says relicencing is a legal joke. Under normal conditions, we should not be able to do it because it's almost like a selling the company without informing the shareholders. Everybody should be sufficiently informed etc. etc. so it seems that the whole legally sound licensing issue is on the air and still based on mutual trust.
Hi. The XITS font on my machine when using xelatex requires the nonstandard looking invocation \setmainfont{xits-math.otf}, rather than the seemingly more standard \setmainfont{XITS} \setmathfont{XITS Math}. What is the reason, and is this an faq or something?
It is referred to in passing in a couple of places on tex.sx, but I did not see a reason given. The context, if anyone is curious, is

@WillHunting Well, I have been dependent on everyone around the internet to get very basic things done. So, I've been leaning and not learning. But, at the same time, I've learnt to lean less and less. So, by "leaning curve", I was alluding to this... :)
user19161
@kan Oh I see. I think that other than installing TeX, the rest is pretty intuitive, like Windows.
@DavidCarlisle Oh, ok. You should probably just stay in the chat room and we can keep you company, as there won't be any questions coming up that you would be interested in :-)
I promise I will let you know if a table question comes that I can't answer. Speaking of watching out, did you see that I was able to help, yes help, Heiko with a solution. There should be a badge for that. :-)
@JakubNarębski You can code in relative or absolute paths for individual files, but there is no general 'path' variable used by LaTeX: that's the job of kpsewhich
@JakubNarębski I am using TeXLive 2012, and what I do for a identical issue is edit the /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf.cnf, and add the line TEXMFHOME = ./texmf/tex/latex/, and you local listing (or any other .sty) will be used if you are compiling in a directory where it can be found under ./texmf/tex/latex/. Not sure if this is general enough solution for you, but does work for me.
@JosephWright Yep, but no environment variables to change. I am stuck using a really old version of the standalone and this solution works.
@JakubNarębski Yep, the solution I use will work for all .sty files that can be located from ./texmf/tex/latex/ relative to where you are compiling. If you compile in another directory, the standard ones get picked up.
@JakubNarębski: I would also recommend using \@ifpackagelater to check that the version you just loaded is the correct one and error out if not. That way you can know for sure, and if you share it with a colleague who does not have this setup (or move the .tex file to a different directory) you won't end up wring results, and know exactly what needs to be changed.
LaTeX provides two tools that will be useful here: \IfFileExists and \@ifpackagelater. If we take the case outlined in the question, we cannot be sure the file is even available. I'll generalise to a package foo, which might give something like
\makeatletter
\IfFileExists{foo.sty}
