Ohh, no: \documentstyle[11pt,leqno,amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts,caption,graphicx,color]{arti‌​cle}
 
@daleif Yeay :-)
 
8:10 AM
@Johannes_B it almost got worse. For a conference we provided a template for speakers to provide their abstracts, about 25%+ did not even bother to use it. :-( or did not fill it in correctly.
 
yo'
@daleif that's common trust me ... how many you got in M$ W@#$?

Q: How are tokenized arguments of a macros?

Igor LiferenkoIn the following pdftex example we make verbatim environment inside "...", i.e., all special characters get catcode 12. The problem is with {: \def\setverb{\def\do##1{\catcode`##1=12}\dospecials} \catcode`\"=\active \def"#1"{% \leavevmode\hbox{% \setverb \tt \endlinechar=-1 \scant...

 
@yo' luckily none
 
@egreg Did I really just steal your tick?

@HenriMenke For not answering the question. :P
 
@egreg True. That's why I upvoted your answer.
 
@HenriMenke Not the first time Igor realizes he asked the wrong question.
 
9:04 AM
@egreg I like his questions. Usually, they are very interesting.

@daleif here the W@#$ ones score a bagel :-(
 
9:49 AM
@ Hello everyone,
I want to know why can't I use t
tikz in enumitem as following: [label=\tikz \draw [blue!20 (0,0) circle(5pt)]\roman*] and have to follow as Alan's answer here: [label=\tikz \draw [blue!20 (0,0) circle(5pt)]\roman*]
Can I ask this in form of a comment in that post?
sorry: [label=\tikz \draw [blue!20] (0,0) circle(5pt);\roman*]
 
@nima Probably [label={\tikz \draw [blue!20] (0,0) circle(5pt);\roman*}]
 
@egreg hi, it returns this error: Paragraph ended before \tikz@style@parseA was complete. ...l={\tikz \draw (0,0) circle(5pt);\roman*}] and BTW are moderators comfortable with asking for "clarification" as a comment in and old QA?
 
@nima What question is it?
 
 
10:06 AM
@nima You have to \protect dangerous macros in the argument to enumerate:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\newcommand*\mycirc[1]{\tikz \draw [blue!20] (0,0) circle(5pt); #1}

\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[label=\protect\mycirc{\Alph*}]
  \item Foo
  \item Bar
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
 
@egr
@egreg sorry, how do you know what is dangerous for enumitem argument?
 
@nima Almost everything. ;-)
 
@egreg :), ok, thanks. and would you please tell me is it allowed or not disturbing to comment an old post and will that post appear in the tex.stackexchange home page?
 
@nima In case the clarification is strictly connected to the answer, you can. Since your problem is just related to it, it's better to open a new question, linking to the old one.
 
@egreg thanks for the clarification. :)
 
10:26 AM
@HenriMenke did you?, excellent!
 
yo'
10:52 AM
@JosephWright I think I have asked this before, but please, is there any way how to properly align a "0" (without a ".") in an S-column?
 
@yo' Doesn't it align automatically?
 
yo'
@egreg no :-( and if you put 0. in, it shows 0.0, which is probably right, but I don't know (I'm not the author, you see the schizo)
 
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{S[table-format=2.2]}
12.34 \\
12.3 \\
0
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
 
yo'
@egreg means putting the proper digits in each and every of 20 columns ...
oh good, there seems to be only 1 exception...
thanks!
 
@yo' Roll up your sleeves… :P
 
yo'
11:06 AM
@egreg well, as I said, this 20-column table is all 2.2, and the other one does not contain zeros. So I'm good now.
 
11:26 AM
@DavidCarlisle I assumed that you would be delighted ;)

Value: 152. Standard deviation: 3.3. Call it "the right precision".
@JosephWright ^^ :)
 
2:09 PM
I posted this answer to Importing a Single Symbol From a Different Font, so that we can also refer unicode-math users to this questions.

maybe the next-to-last sentence should read "be sure to load ..." — barbara beeton 12 mins ago
@barbarabeeton ^^^ Thanks!
 
@jknappen Documented code? Äh, where?
 
@barbarabeeton Do you know why \rrangle got mapped into a triangle like symbol in Unicode/STIX instead of a doubled angle bracket? It seems to go against the semantics of other doubled delimiters. tex.stackexchange.com/a/324207/2693
 
3:41 PM
Hello. In a tikz block diagram, is it possible to both do right of and below of if you want a block to have angle off set?
 
@dustin You can do above left=of <node> etc using the positioning library. See pp. 229ff in the TikZ documentation.
 
@AlanMunn I know. I didn't know if I could both left of and below of but I can (I just tried it).
 
3:56 PM
@dustin Ok, I didn't quite understand the question. But trying is always free. :)
 
hhh
4:19 PM
I have a table where the heading titles go over each other and I cannot know which global setting is doing that, ideas?
 
4:30 PM
@AlanMunn -- i'll have to research this one. it does sound most peculiar. the description i have in my reference table is "z notation ... binding bracket", so i have to dig into old paper files to see what the z documentation has. really should have come from st mary road though.
@AlanMunn -- okay. i haven't determined why the st mary road names got assigned to these two "closed" angle brackets (i'll keep looking), but the double angle brackets are unicode U+27EA and U+27EB, with the names \lAngle and \rAngle. seems some damage control may be necessary.
 
@barbarabeeton I'm glad I asked then.
 
@HenriMenke -- please see my previous comment, sent to @AlanMunn.
 
@hhh Does the same table behave the same way in a document by itself?
 
hhh
4:49 PM
@AlanMunn no it does not, I removed bolding such as \bf{...} and tested \textbf{...} for first line in table and the first row gets now written corretly -- the bolding somehow mix things up.
@AlanMunn is \thead{} or something like this meant for bolding the first line in table?
 
@hhh So you're using longtable?
@hhh \bf{} is not the proper way to do that. It's not a macro that takes an argument (and it's a deprecated LaTeX macro anyway). So you should use \textbf{}. Maybe that will solve it?
 
hhh
@AlanMunn no, basic table. The table works fine in MWE even with bolding but when I put it to the main document it somehow messes things up -- some global setting messing the bolding? (I use my uni's aalto.cls file that may mess things up)
@AlanMunn I tried \textbf{} but it did not solve it.
 
@hhh Ok, but for future: tex.stackexchange.com/q/15361/2693
@hhh Can you post a link to the class?
 
5:45 PM
@egreg What happened here? tex.stackexchange.com/q/324243/2693
 
6:14 PM
@hhh And a MWE using the class displays the error or not?
 
7:01 PM
How to have Math symbol in section name? There is the command for it but I have forgotten it.
 
7:23 PM
Hello,
I am sorry, is there a free Latex editor with live preview on Windows?
 
@DiaaAbidou What do you mean by 'live preview'?
 
@AlanMunn I mean the editor auto compiles and shows the output whenever a new change happens
@AlanMunn Like Gummi in Linux
 
@DiaaAbidou Ok. I don't use Windows, so I don't know, and I see that you already asked about this answer: tex.stackexchange.com/q/33615/2693. But as far as I know, such functionality doesn't exist except for with Bakoma TeX (possibly because there is very little demand for it.)
 
@AlanMunn Problems with the quote in the Internet key
 
@DiaaAbidou There's also a couple of answers here tex.stackexchange.com/q/34522/2693 that might be worth looking into.
@egreg :)
 
7:38 PM
@AlanMunn The connection was going on and off
 
@AlanMunn Thanks
 
8:40 PM
I have found an article to begin my journey with latexmk, and this is the article drewsilcock.co.uk/using-make-and-latexmk. However, I just made a plain file and copied and pasted the whole code (at the page end) into it. Then, I created a Hello World code and configured the compiler to be latexmk, but I got an error i.imgur.com/5JATKf3.jpg . Can somebody tell me the missing step?
 
9:00 PM
@DiaaAbidou never used latexmk but that $ in your commandline looks odd, should it really supposed to be $pdflatex=q/pdflatex ? (also I probably wouldn't start with a make/latexmk combination, just use one or the other until you are used to both:-)
 
@DavidCarlisle Thanks for consideration. Apart from that makefile, is this simplified one working akdiem.wordpress.com/2013/03/15/… ? it is 5:03 am here and couldn't sleep before I make it working :)
 
@DiaaAbidou why not simply use latexmk (although as I say I haven't used it myself)
 
@DavidCarlisle I would like to do so, but I stumbled across makefile whenever I looked for a tutorial about latexmk.
 
@DiaaAbidou personally I'd just do the commands directly if processing a hand written document (as opposed to some automated production workflow) you don't need to automate running bibtex or makeindex or whatever as you know if you have made edits that need to re-run that so 99 times out of 100 you just need pdflatex not any complicated build command
 
@DavidCarlisle I see; it was just a curiosity I tried to fulfill :) I appreciate your consideration.
 
9:25 PM
@DiaaAbidou I agree with @DavidCarlisle although I like to use a tool like latexmk when I am close to a final version of a document, since it ensures that unresolved references get resolved without much effort (no more random "?" in your document.)

Q: Can I put a word count right into my LaTeX book?

yegor256I want to say inside my book how many words it has. Are you aware of any packages that can help me with this?

marked as duplicate by Community♦
^^^ How?
 
@HenriMenke I think that's what the Gold tag badge hammer does?
 
@AlanMunn No, gold badge closing shows up with the username.
 
@HenriMenke So then closed by the user themselves.
 
@AlanMunn Community♦ is a bot.
@AlanMunn That could be but I'm not sure. If I click »close« in one of my questions it shows the normal cast-vote dialog.
 
9:30 PM
@HenriMenke I know. But it's the bot that does stuff not purely by itself, sometimes. See e.g. tex.stackexchange.com/q/324243/2693 which got closed by the user and Community, because I she decided it was a duplicate. (But that shows both her and Community, so maybe it's something else.)
@HenriMenke I think that's what happens: meta.stackexchange.com/q/250922/170190
 
@HenriMenke community closes if the original poster votes to close as dup
