In (La)TeX documentation and tutorials, it is common to show a snippet of code next to the output it generates. It might be two minipages side by side, or a code listing followed by boxed output, or whatever. For a trivial example, we might see
\[ sin \theta \] next to its output, sin θ

When documenting a style file, it would be nice to be able to easily put side by side different examples of code, side-by-side with the output they produce.
What recommendations to people have to do this efficiently, and æsthetically?
@texenthusiast It used to be a problem in TeX Live, but the files have been moved to the correct location three weeks ago, so whoever has an up-to-date TeX Live has no issue.
@gekkostate Of course, everything new must be downloaded, but sometimes in MiKTeX the package must be fully removed first. The problem is, that afterwards it counts as uninstalled package, and these are never installed automatically without any user action: Either you must have activated “installation-on-the-fly” or you go you own into the package amanger and reinstall. I prefer the latter.
@gekkostate When an author updates a package in CTAN, it takes a while for the mirror servers sync with that update (often a few days but not sure). So probably Claudio noticed the mistake and pushed a new update but didn't make it to the mirrors yet. You can install manually to your local texmf or wait :)
@gekkostate You can download it manually and place it in the working folder. :) But this is only valid for smartdiagram since it's just a sty file and 3 other libraries. Don't even think about doing the same for others :)
Sorry I meant download the files in the working directory and run pdflatex on the ins file.
@gekkostate No put it where you want to use it (where your actual .tex file is). Think of it as a temporary local installation. Don't fiddle with MikTeX folder.
Hey guys, I have a question about side by side figure placement. I am using the following code but it's not side by side. Here is a MWE: `\documentclass{article} \usepackage{smartdiagram} \begin{document} \begin{figure}[!h]
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth} \centering \smartdiagram[flow diagram]{Login, GUI, User information, Exit} \end{minipage}
@egreg, I got that far but was trying to make \num{10000} use the e form, but it seems not to want to do that, the form in the manual only typesets with e if you input in that form I think.
@egreg but don't you think formatting of scientific papers would be improved if each digit was highlighted in a translucent colour with a border approximating an amoeba?

I have a problem with amsmath package. After an update this package was removed because it was obsolete. But what package can use instead of amsmath?
