To anybody: what should I do in the following situation? OP posts question A. Various answers. OP edits question A with follow-up which is not really a follow-up (suddenly solution needs to work with custom macro not previously mentioned). I post an answer to this follow-up which I found while answering questions B and C by the OP. I now find that the non-follow-up is also posted as question D. By now, my answer to question A has been up-voted and, also, it now answers the much-edited...
@cfr call the OP to come over and give him a spanking? :) There's always the (probably correct) possibility to dupe the questions of one user. I think it's the best way how to show them that this behaviour is not proper.
But if I post the same answer to question D it will be even more of a mess... @tohecz I'm just frustrated. The OP keeps changing the question and keeps posting more questions and...
@cfr It happens when people don't know exactly what they need or reluctant to think/read/put some more effort from their side etc and seek every answer from somewhere assuming that others have crystal ball. :) Don't get frustrated. Just leave it at that. That is what I would do :)
And don't think that you are responsible for the mess. How do you know what the OP wants unless they say so :)
@cfr I am not sure of it since it is about replacing the text with a command as the input, where exapnsions matter. It is a pandora's box which I wouldn't dare to open. Already wipet has commented on that question. I hope that clarifies things a bit.
Whoa, @egreg isn't sleeping yet or he left his computer on and connected and slept :-)
I use the \usepackage{newunicodechar} to enter easily some unicode characters in math mode.
For example I used unicode curled phi ( ϕ ) to insert phi in math mode. The problem is that any Unicode word in text mode starting with this phi is changed to math mode! So my question is: How could I u...

@Johannes_B There was a decision a while ago that individual languages in babel really have to be 'looked after' by separate 'teams': they can't all be done properly by the kernel team
@Johannes_B Also probably true: I was thinking more at a low level (i.e plain)
@Johannes_B I guess on the font situation the issue is likely to be that the font required has a long history of use but can't be included in a standard distribution for license reasons
@Johannes_B Like I say, I suspect 'history'. It's likely been the default for a long time, so existing documents are written expecting it to be loaded silently.
I'm using Koma-Script (scrbook class).
I want chapters with two lines:
This is line number one which contains the title of the chapter
This is line number two which contains the subtitle of the chapter
Eeach one of them with diferent styles.
How can I do this?

Hi all, does exist universal way to find coordinates of text block beginning (top-left)? Which works with various document classes, geometry package, etc)?
So I investigated option of using LuaTeX's node processing callbacks. Best suited is pre_output_filter which is called when page is ready for the output. I've created simple package, named boxes, which consists of two files: LaTeX package boxes.sty and Lua module boxes.lua.

@ChristianHupfer The subtitle question is with the information given, unclear and not answerable. I provided a solution anyways, what i figured will give a basic construct that can be improved. If the OP wants both parts to be in one logical unit, that means adding an argument to chapter. But why is the OP asking for a new command (which i already defined). I knew this question would make me angry. All the questions i have asked for more clarity, simply ignored.
@Johannes_B: Regarding his style of English, it's quite unclear in that sense too. I have not looked until now, but I will do it
@Johannes_B: I think, the OP wants a single chapter command, that does this automatically, not an (very good idea by you, indeed!) extra command \chapsubtitle.
@Johannes_B: I am not sure, but the wrapper one would be one of the easiest solutions... How about a second optional argument to chapter, for the subtitle, using xparse?
@Johannes_B: Added another solution, using xparse and spending an optional 3rd argument to the chapter command, holding the subtitle, but I omitted any header feature. (And no comments on scrpage2 please ;-))
@ChristianHupfer It was implemented to be backwards compatible in the basic user interface. If you didn't do something fancy (defining new pagestyles), everything will be fine.
@Johannes_B well it could be better (but that's true of lots of code on ctan:-) no time now to really look, I just comment on the fragment in your comment on the question
Hi, any experts on poster creation with LaTeX? I'm building my first one with baposter but the title is crap (line spacing) due to font size in tiKz and the magin on the sides are not symmetrical... I'm all ears open to any comment
Guys, does the verbatim environment have something along the lines of basewidth={0.5em,0.5em} from listings? I'm trying to typeset the arara logo with a custom typewriter font and I'd like it to look nice. :)
Does anyone have an idea about my printing problem? Surely I'm not the only one experiencing this. I would post a bounty but I'm worried the problem is too localized and not really about TeX. tex.stackexchange.com/questions/213201/…
@AndrewCashner Could you try with another previewer? I think I once got stuck with some similar problem (I suspect it was with evince as well), and changing the previewer solved my problem.
@PauloCereda Normally I use mupdf for quick previews but it doesn't print. acroread prints but everything is light gray (some default print quality setting I imagine). if you have any suggestions for previewers that work under Gnome I welcome them. I tried installing 'okular' but with all the dependencies it frightened me.
@PauloCereda I'm pretty happy printing with lp for myself but I'm worried that other users (say on Mac or Windows) will have the same problems with the PDF.
@PauloCereda Did you ever use cmus, the console music player based on Vim keystrokes? It's fantastically un-user-friendly but for some reason (probably the same reason I like vim) I like it.
@AndrewCashner There was a time that wasn't so far from the truth;-) but then I used sed then emacs so I never had need of the half baked vi interface:-) Also now I have no printing problems as I have the awesome stable printing system provided by MS Windows
@DavidCarlisle Excellent. So are modern text terminal emulators reasonable approximations of output on a teletype? E.g., if you typed "echo hello" then it typed "hello" on the next line?
@DavidCarlisle Oh, so the paper was for output only. The input was shown on a screen before you entered it? I thought you were actually typing like on a typewriter.
@AndrewCashner yes exactly but there was a one line buffer so you could correct on that line, but the actual printed text you see wasn't edited in place, you just saw a record of the control characters such as ^H = backspace
I've got a 100W combo for my electronic piano (it's made directly by Yamaha for digital pianos and I use it through a mixer). I'm thinking about upgrading to a stereo solution. Someone has suggested that it's better to have a separate poweramp and then an unpowered speaker.
And not really being a sound guy myself, I'm looking for more opinions of experienced people
There are two issues with any instrument. You can have a monitor for yourself and send the signal to the mixer and let the mixer handle. Or you basically have a smaller but more precise head+speaker and mic that one and send it to the mixer.
So you can send your main keyboard signal to the sound system, and send a split to your keyboard amp so you can hear yourself
That is the common I don't have money for an amp solution
well, what I got to know is that for guitar, you'd have: guitar -> combo (amp atop a speaker) -> microphone in front of the speaker -> mixer guy -> PA whatever
@percusse I don't play a guitar. For the piano, it's already purely electronic, so it doesn't make sense to make it complicated.
Anyway, the main advantage of separate head is finer control and much reduced noise and typically less detoriated signal from noise or electronics etc.
Or if you skip the speaker you can send it to mixer directly.
Often you'll hear things like oh it totally kills the texture bla bla when they mention combos. Everything sounds like <insert your favorite guitar brand>....
@percusse well, that's what you do on a larger concert, but if you give a solo performance, then the setup would be: piano + microphone -> on-stage mixer -> powered speaker / PA+speaker, no?
