@GonzaloMedina yes I used {c} and {d} in the definition instead of #1 and #2 so it only works once. I just noticed that:-) I suppose I should fix before going to bed:-)
@kan thanks for the vote (might count for a badge or two one day:-) Yes I'm sure @PauloCereda wishes he used an editor that used lisp as its extension language.
@DavidCarlisle I love Lisp, it reminds me of happier days. :) I always remember a professor of mine that always said to me, "a good prolog system is always made in Lisp." :)
@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: Good morning! I'm Psmith, the friendly TeX bot - the p in my name is silent, as in pshrimp. I'm here as a companion to our fellow users in the typographic land. As you probably noticed, I always reply under Paulo's account, but do not despair, I say, my replies are always preceded by my own name. Enjoy your stay at TeX.sx! If you need any help, just ask our chat residents. Cheerio!
@MarcoDaniel should've mentioned I'm looking for a non-bibLAtex solution (unless I'll still have time to spare before the deadline... after which I'll be happy to learn biblatex, too)
@moose l cells only have one line so there is no top or bottom. If any multiple line cells are p then the l cells will align with the top of the p cells.
@MarcoDaniel I wanted to make linebreaks. I've just recognized that I can use \newline. Then I can remove parbox and the cells get aligned to the top. Thanks :-)
@MarcoDaniel @moose that would explain the alignment (as \parbox gives centre alignment by default) (@moose shouldn't you be using bibtex or biber or something for a bibliography f that length rather than making a list by hand?
@DavidCarlisle I thought so, too. But I don't know how to do it right. In this case, I just wanted to re-create a document I wrote 4 years ago with OpenOffice. I wanted my LaTeX document to produce roughly the same output as OpenOffice did and I didn't know how to get this with bibtex (and I didn't hear of biber before). Do you know some minimal working examples for bibtex / biber?
@moose biber/biblatex are a bit modern for me but if you are starting out now it might make sense to go that way rather than traditional bibtex (they both use bibtex file format for storing your references) There are lots of examples on this site:-) (but it may not be worth changing an existing document, using either allows you to just use \cite{some-name} and then later your bibliography style can decide if that produces [1] or [Marco2013] or whatever after it has sorted the bibliography...
@moose so it is a far more flexible way of producing a reference list, but since you already have one, then just making it look right perhaps makes sense...
@DavidCarlisle I try to make this document as good as I can (so I really like to switch to biber/biblatex) as I might use this as a template later. I'd rather like to spend some time now trying to do it right than when I have to write my bachelor thesis. Now I'll go through the biber / bibtex tags to learn how they are used, what's the difference and related questions (currently: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/25701/…).
@MarcoDaniel Seriously, though, although I'm much more old fashion than David, I can't understand why people still stick to {pdftex,bibtex,ps-anything} for new documents...
@MarcoDaniel And I even have my doubts about Computer Modern. (A hushed silence falls on the chat. Rarely has such a sacrilege ever been published here. The moderators, overcome by bewilderment, clutch at the margins for support...)
@MarcoDaniel I'm sure I can think of more. Oh yes, and .dvi
@Brent.Longborough I don't think it's any better than StixGeneral. It's just a collection of Times based fonts, integrated by whatever is available, I believe.
I am looking for a good latex template for my phd. I did not like the classicthesis because of the huge margin and the collapsed table of contents.
I found the cleanthesis to be just what I was looking for (http://cleanthesis.der-ric.de/) but unfortunately I have problems with the package amsthm....
@User17670 I never heard of it am the author. :) It's a tool written in Java which can help with the automation process of producing a document. You can add all the needed steps for compiling your document, say, run pdflatex 2 times, then bibtex once, then pdflatex 2 more times, and so on.
@JosephWright: I need your opinion. For me all question of the user adam related to the package cleanthesis are too localized. The package isn't part of CTAN. Adam can ask the developer of the package

- Derbyshire 12 * v Lancashire
- Scotland 147/3 * v Essex 217/7
- Glamorgan v Unicorns
I made a local TeX Live mirror in my machine. I have synced it with the nearest TeX Live mirror outside so now it is up to date. I setup TeX Live Manager to use my local TeX Live mirror. However, TeX Live manager always informs me that TeX Live 2012 has been frozen and stop updating. How to skip this stupid frozen warning?
Every year TeX Live provides a new version. My recollection is that soon after a new version is released, the old version's tlmgr stops fetching updates to packages. They provide upgrading instructions with the disclaimer
This procedure is not bullet-proof, or especially recommended

@Bugbusters Considering how many people manage TeX Live, I always find miraculous that it's so actively and well developed. Updating two branches requires a lot of work that's better spent in releasing the new version.
@egreg But I just need to update the existing packages, no need to update the compilers and their friends. :-) Why does updating packages make it complicated?
And updating packages manually (without using TeX Live Manager) should be much more complicated I think. :-)
Any suggestions on how to stop a footnote from creating an awful page break? When the footnote is present, I get page with a single line on it and then the following content. The line is the first line of a list environment.
@kan On every answer in the question, or just the edited answer? This makes a difference, since if the question had risen to the top independently because of another edit, then a minor edit at the same time is not so bad. Perhaps a comment is in order then, something like "It's generally not helpful to make very minor edits since this causes an old question to replace a newer question on the front page" (and a link to the relevant meta discussion.)
@AlanMunn The question has never propped up on the list because of an edit in the recent past. The latest edit to anything in the question prior to this one is Feb '12.
But, I am not going to leave a comment, as I am not sure how the user will react. There is another user, who I have planned to steer clear of: Persian TeX User Group. Everything is obvious to this user.
@Paulo, SHURE PG58, volume pedal, microphone stand and some cables, and that all delivered tomorrow to my office, so nice :) I got no-the-cheapest SHURE ...
