@DavidCarlisle What I understand is: This version improves compatibility with pre-2015 documents. Recent documents will receive fixltx2e's fixes from LaTeX's kernel, but the fixes will come from the package itself if it is loaded. Is this correct?
 
@Kurzd no all the fixes that were in fixltx2e (plus some more) are already in the format now so normally fixltx2e just gives a warning and does nothing, but the new version will do the fixes if loaded into a document with a format date earlier than 2015

@DavidCarlisle At last. Sorry for taking so long.
 
@Kurzd :-)

Is it reasonable to say \texttt{align\textsuperscript{(*)}} when talking about align and align*? Or just align?
Wait. If anything, it's \texttt{align(*)}

@PauloCereda I would put it in a nice antique frame and hang it to the wall next to my PC screen :)
 
@yo' ooh <3
 
@PauloCereda Thank him for his complimentary remarks and say you look forward to seeing your paper in print.
 
@DavidCarlisle it's a good point. :)
 
@PauloCereda speaking of "British English" ...
Italian English: Your assumptions are wrong. British English: I don't think that your description of scanning for a macro name is accurate
 
@DavidCarlisle LOL
Which reminds me...

ZozoIn beamer I have a frame that is plain. (I use plain frame to remove the table of contents in header and the footer icons.) \documentclass{beamer} \useoutertheme{infolines} \begin{document} \begin{frame}[plain] \frametitle{Agenda} Here we go... \end{frame} \end{document} When I use plain, ...

Sun QingyaoI noticed the following comments under a hot meta post: Downvoting questions from new users I agree this is horribly bad form. I blame the Australians. – Andrew But @Andrew, as you yourself pointed out, there are no Australians here. – StoneyB @StoneyB No, actually I said I never see t...

@egreg seems good enough reason
 
crashworks.org/if_programming_languages_were_vehicles I am struggling to think what type of vehicle TeX would be.
 
yo'
@StrongBad I would say a train engine.
 
@yo' because it does what it wants and very few people can control it?
 
yo'
@StrongBad yeah, and is reliable, most safe, backwards compatible, powerful, ...
 
@yo' I'd go with a Saturn V. It is damn powerful, and can do things that nothing else can, very very well. However, it is also super out of date, and I don't think anyone doubts that we could do better today starting from scratch with all the lessons learned, but for various reasons this isn't going to happen.
