I'm writing a two sided document (it will be printed as a book) and I've got two figures which takes up a whole page each. These two figures are related so I want them to be side by side in the resulting book, i.e. figure1 should be placed on an even page and figure2 should be placed on the follo...
I have a document with many code listings using \lstinputlisting. Some are floats for convenience and some (multipage listings or others that need explicit placement) do not float.
If the listing does not float then it picks up line spacing from the surrounding environment.
If the listing flo...
I almost posted this on TeX, then I figured you don't really like LyX anyway. :P
Still, the next best Google hit I can find is this and it looks like overkill given that apparently \includegraphics can deal with PDF files correctly anyway, so you might want to ask and answer this question on your site with pure *TeX stuff.
(is \includegraphics even a thing that people normally use? :P)
I have used MiKTeX for many works in last year. I didn't have a problem installing it. But now I am trying to install it on my new laptop. It's killing me with an ocean of errors. it has been two weeks, after tackling hundreds of errors finally I have been able to make it recognize Persian text. ...
@badp Personally, I don't see the need for that, as your LyX answer does the job just fine. If insert code is necessary, sure, but that's not the case here.
if I want to place a pspicture to the right of the page and make text wrap around it, how do I do that? I tried wrapfig but it places the pspicture to the very bottom of my article o.O
@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!

@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The current score is egreg 145 vs. 150 David. So far, David is winning.
@PauloCereda I am thinking about the following comment:
From my point of you it isn't possible. I can't see any advantages for this. If you get a new file and you want to run pdflatex as default than run pdflatex instead of arara
@kan Not for this one, I'm afraid. :) Directives are the heart of arara and they are exactly the keypoint that differs it from other tools. If I provide a default fallback, people will then ask for arara to guess the steps. And then we will have yet another latexmk implementation. :)
@MarcoDaniel I suspect the problem is that they've switched the default tex engine in some ide to arara from pdflatex so want arara to be able to handle all input
I'm looking at the stage of Giro d'Italia; at the arrival, 2300m, it snowed for the whole morning. It's one of the most beautiful place in the Dolomites: Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Now they're in Pustertal, another magnificent valley.
@PauloCereda Yes, I was just really stupid, that's all! I was curled up on the armchair reading and my foot went dead, but I didn't realise it until I stood up and it collapsed under me with a loud crack, which was rather alarming. Luckily nothing's broken, it was just the tendon cracking, but it's swollen and bruised. Apparently it will take 6 weeks to fix.
I am trying to specify the range separator for unit ranges in siunitx to be {\space--\space}, which works well if I hand it to the specific command, but the spaces get munched
if I hand it as a package option
@egreg I figured the fault lay in the way I was trying to put in the spaces
@ach Spaces are mangled when in the optional argument to \usepackage. You can do \usepackage[range-phrase={\ --\ }]{siunitx} but probably the best is to say \sisetup{range-phrase={ -- } after \usepackage{siunitx}
I am using biber to manage my bibliography. I am using MikTeX with all updates installed. After updating to 1.6 however, my language settings don't work. Despite setting German as prime language, the bibliography gets outputed in English. What changed? Or what did I do wrong.
Here is the MWE:

I'm new to LaTeX, investigating using it for some work projects. I'm using MiKTeX on Windows. My employer's locked-down network blocks the application's automatic installation function. I can take my laptop home and successfully install from there, but if I need a package in the middle of the ...
The main plan is to hang out with interesting people, get some new stuff written (and hopefully finish some old stuff) and get a grant proposal written. As usual, I'll be happy if I get some reasonable percentage of those things done.
Philadelphia is a great city, and it's also close enough to other major East Coast places like NY and DC.
@NicolaTalbot I was in North Carolina then. I imagine that Detroit was pretty miserable at that time, although perhaps you just saw the inside of a hotel.
@AlanMunn I did spend most of the time in the hotel, but I ventured out on the Sunday to find a church and the streets looked surprisingly deserted. It wasn't at all how I imagined a US city would look like. I also crossed the border into Canada for an afternoon.
@NicolaTalbot Yes, Detroit of all places was pretty much a wasteland in the downtown area. Most of the affluent (and generally white) people fled to the suburbs and downtown became a ghostland. It's actually a big problem now, because the city is basically bankrupt since the tax base has declined so much over the past 50 years. See e.g. drawingdetroit.wordpress.com/2012/07/02/…
Is there a commonly accepted / used way to print / output the packages (and versions) used to typeset a document ? I am writing my thesis and if anyone later wants to re-typeset it, it may not work if packages used have changed in the meantime. To me, it sounds tricky to automoate (as I am not aware of version metadata being in the same place for all packages), but there are lots of things I don't know about TeX so I thought I'd ask
Anyone know if I can grab a part of a sourcecode file with \lstinputlisting using a source-code marker rather than line numbers? Basically, once I've hard coded all of the line numbers into the .tex files, changing any of the source files silently breaks the .tex. I'm looking for a way around that.
What relevance will LaTeX have in the future, now that the web, social media, mobile devices and apps are moving content away from typeset PDF documents?
I've been using Stephan Lehmke's very useful parallel text solution outlined here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/63997/26651
The problem I'm having is that the parallel columns doesn't fill the whole text width of my document... see minimal example below.

@StefanKottwitz Yes, the time line; did you get it? By the way, I have a newer one, but I didn't want to send it until I was sure you had received the one for the time-line. Now I'm not sure of I will send it, since I don't want to give you extra job ;-)
@AlanMunn hehe! What kind of question do you consider to be abysmal?
@AlanMunn Agreed. The campaign has only a very reduced effect, if any. The only effect I see is that as time goes by, we ask for MWEs, clarifications, etc. in a more polite manner ;-)
