Nobody is here but when people are, could somebody who knows more about TikZ than I do please take a look at tex.stackexchange.com/q/194362? Is this a bug or is there some reason that particular kinds of operations don't work with references to nodes/coordinates in pics? (TikZ looks for EmmaEmma-left wing rather than Emma-left wing and I don't know why.)
Please, what is our policy in these cases? I led the OP to one of our big-lists, he said it was helpful. I feel the question should be closed, but is it dupe of the big-list or better OT?
I have an excel file including the following table. How should I create something similar to it? Is it better to use the table code in latex or make a figure from it and import it to latex (I did this but the quality of picture was so bad).
If I have to create a table, how should I automatically...
@PauloCereda Do you still need an answer? 'duplicate' elements are elements that are the same as some other element. A 'duplicated' element is an element that is the result of some copying operation. So probably you want 'duplicate'.

Has anyone dealt with typesetting R code? I know it's just another example of listing code verbatim through e.g. lstlistings or minted; I'm mostly looking for inspiration for the graphical component (use a tcolorbox, y/n, use borders, y/n, use blue as a background color, y/n, etc.).
Time to being ballistic: I'm removing all I'm sorry's in my messages file and replacing them by empty references. I could add a --blame mode which adds It's your fault to every error message.
@PauloCereda Florence helping you with TeX and whatnot anyway nevermind. I used to live next to a hospital called Florence Nightingale Heart something something, that's how I know. Not that I'm a pervert hehe
@MarioS.E. Typically the first page, i.e., the title page is numbered i but doesn't actually show the number. The first numbered page in the front matter is usually the contents page. See e.g. the memoir manual for how it is numbered.
@PauloCereda All your error messages could begin with 'sorry'.
@MarioS.E. No; not arara but its replacement (if I've understood Paulo's plans). Thanks for offering help with Spanish but I am also a native Spanish speaker; I was referring to the translation into Spanish of the texts for the new tool.
@AlanMunn And how about the abstract? I have it right before the TOC. I also have an entry for it in both the TOC and the bookmarks. Shouldn't I leave a page number for it so the reader can get it? Or should I just assume that since it is in the very past page there is no need?
