what's the texdoc way of saying «give me the list of all packages that do things with tables because I want to see if someone invented this particular wheel I'm toying with before»?
@tohecz yes I think I should vote to close as well
@tohecz I voted although it's borderline, asking about good editing fonts for tex markup is not that different from asking about good editors for latex (and we have several questions about that)
@DavidCarlisle however, TeX markup is essentially the same as any other markup, it uses the same special characters as any other language. You can ask such a question on Programmers I think.
@tohecz Could you recommend me a good book about monoids, semigroups, etc., that are very newbie-friendly, if possible with lots of figures and coloring pages? :)
@tohecz Uh-oh. :) Do not worry, I might need to learn a couple of things on this matter, so a introductory material would help me a lot. :) Thanks for the effort. :)
Let me ping @egreg and beseech his wisdom. :) Could you recommend me a good book about monoids, semigroups, etc., that is very newbie-friendly? if possible with lots of figures and coloring pages... :)
@Manuel With LuaTeX you can use \Uchar that takes a <number> as argument and expands to the corresponding character: \Uchar"33 expands to character U+0033
@egreg Nice to know about that option in LuaTeX, thanks :) Anyway, those are fragile terms in my mind (tokenization & co.) still… in the second one \usenotation expands and changes the catcode of ^, then another command takes it and just happens to end a group opened before, but… why those ^ are not superscripts?
@Manuel two adjacent characters of catcode 7 such as ^^ (with normal catcode) are just defined to be a primitive syntax to refer to a character, not a superscript command the character is generated early as tex is reading characters before it generates tokens, so you can even use it in command names \^^63 is \c (you can not do \\Uchar"63 in luatex to get the same effect as that is tokenised as \\ followed by c h a r " 6 3
@Manuel If you type \p^^61r in your document, TeX will understand it's \par, because it converts ^^61 into a at the moment tokens are formed. But when tokens have been already formed, the ^^ notation means nothing and usually will produce errors. In your case you have a silly error: no space between 7 and \usenotationaux;-)
@DavidCarlisle But you can do \csname p\Uchar"61 r\endcsname
@egreg True, the space did it. Uff.. I tried that in a “different version” but since it didn't work I discarded it. I always forget :) Thank you both for the help.
@Manuel What happens without the space is that TeX expands \usenotationaux that so tokenizes what's needed for its argument; then TeX sees ^ resulting from the expansion (but still category code 12) and puts it back, doing the pending category code assignment. With the space the category code assignment is complete and when \usenotationaux is expanded, ^ will have catcode 7.
I want to do something special with some characters in the text. In this example that is just boldfacing them:

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

@PauloCereda if you have some time can you check if github.com/cgnieder/leadsheets is missing features you'd find useful?

@ All Physicists and RevTeX users: Does anyone know which options are used for revtex4-1 for Physical Review X? For Physical Review A it is obviously \documentclass[aps,pra]{revtex4-1} but there is no prx option.
@PauloCereda Not as fast as my normal weekday connection: when at work I'm in Norwich in the week and have fibre broadband in my flat and an academic connection at work. Here at home it's ADSL.
@PauloCereda To be honest, the difference in my flat isn't really noticeable unless I'm having to do some major download. I've only got the fibre connection as it was 'on offer' and the same cost as the ADSL when I moved flat.
@HeikoOberdiek : Thx for the features - texwelt.de/wissen/upfiles/test.pdf - I hope there comes more stuff like this in later package-versions (variable fonts etc.), so I can write a website based on this :()
Note that the numbers in the linstngs-code-area are NOT SELECTABLE (!!!)

@Johannes_B If it really is supposed to be \\[\baselineskip] then the answer to his last question must be “yes”. At least he misunderstood how \\ is supposed to be used.
I have my own class file myclass.cls. I want to load it from a relative directory, say:
\documentclass{../myclass}
lualatex (and pdflatex too) gives the warning:

The class file loads ok ...
I am building a document class and a set of packages to be used as templates for various documents. I'd like to aviod having to copy those over to another folder every time I use them, but I'd also like to avoid cluttering up the folder containing document classes and packages with tex files (and...
I'm trying to set the documentclass type of a certain .tex file to be a class that is in the parent folder. However, I'm not sure how to include the path to the .cls file. I can write

@Werner to me the correct answer is: »install the custom class file in texmf-local/«. If he/she has a class that is used in more than one project this would make more sense to me than to somehow silencing the warning
@Johannes_B You mentioned the linked answer is not something you would recommend. Perhaps you have a different suggestion/recommendation that you could add to the linked question.
But to be honest I think such things are not such a good plan: use either a comma list or something like expl3's seq data structure (no catcode tricks but allowing arbitrary input)
I am externalizing some plots by pgfplots in .eps format by using these two sizes

In dvipsnam.def I found \DefineNamedColor{named}{GreenYellow} {cmyk}{0.15,0,0.69,0} where there is a space between the second and third arguments. Is it safe to have such a space?
@Johannes_B: That depends if you are a lazy or a hard-working teacher ; I have to prepare some meetings, I got somehow promoted and got more responsibility, so there is still some work to do, but of course the full six weeks
@Johannes_B: It levels out...ok... There is the rumour, that people drowned in rivers that levelled out be only 20cm deep on average ;-)
Guys I know this is awkward but sometimes I need to be slapped in the face. I was surprised with a question a valid question getting closed in an hour on Music.SE. Then I've asked a question with my usual rant tone and people answered in a disagreeing way then we started commenting on with a mod there. Then he didn't like where it is going and deleted everything rewrote my question and locked it. Then we had this fun chat chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/16836608#16836608
I've deleted my account so I don't care anymore but still I want to know is this really moderator behavior that is allowed on SE network. If so I'll delete the remaining ones too and probably keep TeX.SE for the fun of it.
I'm really curious about being prevented from deleting my own question because somebody got upvoted.
@JosephWright got it, I agree the nomalised form probably needs to be the character more often (that's what i did in xmltex as well (or at least the utf8 reprn of the character in that case) I suspect we'll need to make uppercase \'e{e} -> É somehow or other
This question has been bugging me ever since I've started learning usability.

On one hand, the button shape has to represent it's function. Thus a bigger button must mean the full container.

@DavidCarlisle The easy way to deal with the \'{e} business is to require more than simple bracing to 'escape' case changing: not hard to implement but slightly less 'clean' looking for the user, at least on the basis of the BibTeX comparison. Then again, one can argue that an explicit macro should be needed for an escape.
