@kan I left a comment and it was taken well. :) It was good of you to point it out too. Sometimes users don't know what's good and bad for the site, and telling them gently is all that is needs. Thanks. I hope you have done well on your exam.
@Xavier: with version 2013/04/29 v1.5.1 of moderncv I have now 2 warnings in my cv resulting from package xparse for changing \section and \subsection. Can you change please moderncv that this warnings disapear ...
If I want to get something out of a l3 property list and use it, I have to do this: \prop_get:NnN \l_proplist_prop {key} \l_tmpa_tl \tl_use:N \l_tmpa_tl. It seems it would be more elegant to have a "use" method: \prop_use:Nn \l_proplist_prop {key} that achieves the same thing, no?

AUTHOR, TITLE AAA, 2010 AUTHOR, TITLE AAA, 2011 AUTHOR, TITLE BB, 2010
@egreg why? can't see the trouble: first it'd be sorted by, say, "AUTHOR. TITLE AAA", then by year e.g. "2010"; there'd be no title-field; where's the trouble?
@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: Good morning! I'm Psmith, the friendly TeX bot - the p in my name is silent, as in pshrimp. I'm here as a companion to our fellow users in the typographic land. As you probably noticed, I always reply under Paulo's account, but do not despair, I say, my replies are always preceded by my own name. Enjoy your stay at TeX.sx!

@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The current score is egreg 215 vs. 85 David. So far, egreg is winning.
@egreg No, I don't know that one. I attended the "årskurs" (single-year) before starting sivilingeniør.
@egreg talking about siv.ing, I see you teach LaTeX. Is this some "organized" stuff? Like Tekna? I've held several beginners courses for the freshmen's (and every one else, actually) at my "siv.ing-linje". Untill I started holding them, it was not common to use LaTeX. And I'm a chemist, so we have a lot of reports and stuff.
@egreg
@egreg Btw, have you seen the NTNUthesis class written by Frederico Zenith?
@Holene I'm always a bit afraid by "XYZthesis" classes. Most of them give awful results (due to stupid rules laid out by the institutions, I should add).
@egreg I kinda see what you mean. I spent some time to make this class something I'm satisfied with. It should be mentioned that there was a lot of learning for me in manipulating that class. And the results is not very bad, I must say.
@Holene The thesis class a friend of mine is developing has none of the usual "doublespacing, wide margins, Times-Helvetica" shibbolets. And we hope it will be the official class for our university.

The value slot needs to be a 0-argument interactive function not an evaluated expression, also \{ needs an extra level of \ quoting to get the backslash into the lisp string.

Wonders of computational complexity :-) I also like speed-up theorems and such. Though I think encoding of symbols should be taken into account. It's a bit fishy to enlarge the alphabet exponentially and then talk about speedup. Only **{0,1}** should be allowed as alphabet.
@Holene \begin{figure} has the convenience of captions and labels, but you can achieve this without floats, using (i think) the caption or captionof package. @DavidCarlisle might know more details
Psmith, the TeX bot, in fixed font mode: Let's take a look at the last cricket results:
- Surrey 237/10 & 229/10 v Durham 127/4 & 286/10 *

Our cricket expert David might explain these results later on.
@egreg I rewrote the exercises in a subject I've been "stud.ass" in, and the book we are basing the course on really could use some proper consciousness when it comes to being consequent (and at times, correct).
@Brent.Longborough What may cause the unprocessed floats error? I have three "block" of 13 floats each this particular appendix, and each float consist of two subfloats (using memoir's \subbottom). Uncommenting the middle block removes the problem, even though all the plots are made systematically with matlab2tikz...
Does anyone know a good reason why there's no kerning for the dash - in the Computer Modern and Latin Modern fonts? I just realized that that Gauß-Verfahren doesn't give nice output ... (too much space between - and V).
@Holene if you put a float in any sort of (tex primitive) box \hbox, \vbox, ... then it will not work, and at the end LaTeX will note that the count of the floats it has saved and the floats it has positioned are out and issues an uprocessed floats error
@Holene actually you should normally get a "not in outer par mode" error at teh point the float is saved if it is in a box, is it really just unprocessed floats you get?
@Holene most likely you just ran out of float boxes so you could use the morefloat package (which gives you more) or add \clearpage every now and then to flush them out or work out why you are stacking so many up in the first place.
@Holene Do you have a long sequence of floats with no real text in between (that's the usual cause, especially if you mess up the [htp] optional argument.
@Holene by omitting p you are saying that the float can not go on a float page, but text pages have (document class set) constraints on how much space may be given over to floats, usually no more than 3/4 of the page, so latex has the floats but can't make a text page as it has no text and can't make a float page as that's what [htb] means so it hangs on and hopes for better times until it runs out of boxes allocated for this use.
@MarcoDaniel Latex always has problems with space before and after p columns, space for table rows is normalised by adding struts which works well enough for lcr entries but is a problem for p entries as where do you add the strut, latex tries to delay adding one at the start until the first paragraph starts (but that messes up lists at the start of table entries, and it tries to add a strut on the last line of a paragrah as well. latex2e tweaked the rules latex2.09 used and array tweaks them ..
.. some more, and makes it harder by adding m but they are not really right but can't be changed as there is a generation of documents with explicit spacing and other hacks to compensate.
Sorry guys, I'm trying once again, maybe my above post was lost inbetween the other discussion. Does anyone know a good reason why there's no kerning for the dash `-` in the Computer Modern and Latin Modern fonts? I just realized that that `Gauß-Verfahren` doesn't give nice output ... (too much space between `-` and `V`).
(And does anyone know why my backticks don't give code formatting???)
@MarioS.E. well you didn't tell the truth then:-) If the column is a p column with \raggedright applied then \centering would work, if you mean it's a l column you want \multicolumn{1}{c}{...}
@DavidCarlisle, this is what I have:
