but my ref is unvisible but clickable.
Someone has the same problem??
Thanx in Advance

How to make nice braids diagrams
I need to use TikZ to draw some braid diagrams. These will be built from families of curves, which appear to cross over each other in places. At each crossing, it needs to be obvious which line is going over which, and so I'm using t...
The questioner has clarified that the type of diagram is not what my braids package does (technically, this is a tangle, not a braid!). Whilst it is similar to the knot question, and it may well be that the knot stuff will work for him, there is an unanswered question about drawing a path on several layers which is an alternative way to do these knot diagrams which might prove useful.
@JosephWright Agreed. IMHO we can grow a bigger and better TeX community with real users interacting. I have high hopes on Stefan's keynote effects. :)
Also, yesterday, Didier Verna said that if you don't collaborate, you won't go anywhere. :)
@Raphink Perhaps a delay in production. Even the swag for the conference, T-Shirts and a lot of Pens and Stickers arrived yesterday in my hotel here, just in time. TeX.SX stickers came earlier.
This question keeps coming up a lot on Stack Overflow for some reason:
What was Stack Overflow built with?
Some even wondered if Stack Overflow was built in Ruby on Rails. I consider that a compliment!
This question has been covered in some detail in our podcasts, of course, but I know not everyone has time to listen to a bunch of audio footage to find the answer to their question. So, in that spirit, here’s the technology “stack” of Stack Overflow, the stuff Jarrod, Geoff, and I used to build it: …
Just when I am only 7 days away from receiving the {Fanatic} badge, I have to go to another country for a few days and I doubt I will be able to log in to tex.sx then. D'oh!
@PauloCereda I've visited from day one, but was in Germany on holiday for a week, and my log in was unreliable. So I've visited every day, but the system has missed a couple.
Define an enhance verse environment, where stroke Carriage return key once make a \\, twice make a \par, three times make a \medskip, four times and more make a \bigskip.
An example would be:

@AndreyVihrov If that's true, I'd be surprised. I wonder how many actual courses are on TeX or have a TeX component that has real homework? (Even though the question certainly sounds like a homework.)
@PauloCereda If you click on the picture beside the search box, Google will explain its choice. It's an homage to Mary Blair, an animator at Disney. (So it is Google, not your browser.)
@MarcoDaniel: As the user deleted the question, I can't leave a comment there so am doing so here. (I hope you see this, I don't know if this will work!) The phrase "What is your problem?" has a bit of a negative connotation in English. It's a bit hard to explain, but "What is your question?" is much better.
@AlanMunn That's a bit of a shame, really. My first digital camera was a Kodak and it's still going strong 8 years later. (Should that have an apostrophe?)
Without getting in to a rant, it appears to me (and others) that the quality of questions being asked on StackOverflow has greatly diminished. I'm curious if there has been any attempt to take a critical look at this by quantifying the questions asked on SO over time?
No attempt to do this woul...
I have a couple of extra customisation files. One is .emacs.local which is machine-dependent but just does a bit of customisation (fonts, background images).
The other is .tex.emacs which is where my tex-specific stuff goes.
The key thing in that one is that by using a local variable (tex-output-type) I can tell emacs which type of tex to call (pdflatex, xelatex, latex, etc) and with which options (write18, for example) and whether to do any post-processing (dvips, for example).
@MartinScharrer The OP wrote Because the number of my reputation is not so many and I thought it was related to the question: Could you edit your question to provide a concrete example
@MartinScharrer Ah ok but now I am confused (verwirrt) -- Maybe he should open a new question we only one problem. In this way it is easer for all participants ;-)
@MarcoDaniel Yeah, the comments are out of hand. I could eventually find some time to give answer to the question as-is. But the solution would have all those limitations we came across in henrique's question. (Until maybe Philipp implements the citation command in the verbose styles.)
@MarcoDaniel Good to know. I'm also wanting to bother you about this question: tex.stackexchange.com/q/32151/4483. Dots can come from entry data or be generated by \setunit, \newunit, \adddot, etc. Seems like the only way to solve it would be to work on the fully expanded citation output. Is that possible?
Is there a drawback when using the option unicode=true with the package hyperref and the engines PDFTeX, XeTeX and LuaTeX?
In other words, can a portable document always have \usepackage[unicode=true]{hyperref}?
I think I'll give the bounty to @MartinScharrer, but it does not really totally absolutely answer my question (I believe only Heiko could do that). Any advise from someone?
Perhaps it's a bad/stupid question? Not appropriate? Don't know.
@Patrick While you're here, Patrick, I had a question about LuaTeX: can standard font packages (e.g. mathptmx, tipa) be used with LuaTeX or do you have to use fontspec to access fonts?
I know that fontspec is probably preferable, the question is more about compatibility.
Well it should, but there are some packages that are (I don't know why) not compatible with LuaTeX.
I once tried to compile Herbert Voß' mathmode document on ctan with LuaTex and it failed miserably (but made 80% of the pages without complaining, so I don't really know if there is only one bug that had to be solved or more)
I think the culprit (?) was the bm package (for bold math).
@Patrick Ok, maybe I'll turn this into a full question. I'm starting to use luatex more and more because it seems to offer the best of both the pdftex and xetex worlds all with one engine. But I'm not entirely sure what the limits are.
@Patrick What else does microtype do? I thought it also improved the kerning and hypenation rules? I just notice then when I use it things look nicer and I get less hyphens. I can load up the manual again (I did read it once)
@Canageek Letterspacing does not work correctly with fontspec/microtype (or, I don't know, only with luaotflaod/microtype, but from a user's perspective its the same).
@PauloCereda What strikes me about that dataset is that someone managed to ask a question in 2008 - two years before the site opened! I'm curious as to what the posts pre-August 2010 were.
Given that we've only just lapped, I don't think that comparing a month in the first year with the corresponding month a year later is so useful so I've reordered by year-then-month: data.stackexchange.com/tex/q/115570/…
this looks "fine" to me: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \usepackage[stretch=100,shrink=100]{microtype} \begin{document}

When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me.
@JosephWright By 'LaTeX' I mean the code I'm writing, and improvements are anything that makes it easier to write or produces a better looking end product.
I'm actually working on an archive of CTAN using automated Mercurial repositories for the last two weeks. The CTAN content is mirrored daily and each CTAN package (with exceptions) is committed to its own Mercurial repository.
This is currently online as http://ctanhg.scharrer-online.de/, but no...
I now created a facebook page for the CTANHG website:
When I study, I often need to have many books open at the same time, so I can search simultaneously. Having 20 diferent Adobe Acrobat windows open, however, is highly impractical, and things often crash.
When viewing DJVUs with for example WinDJView, I can have all the files open in a single win...
Should that really be a TeX.SX questions? I answered it, but feel like it should be moved to a different site- It has been flagged as such, but no response since yesterday.
Anyone know what \pdfobj might be doing? There's a question where someone's having trouble installing the latest TikZ/PGF and looking at the logs, there's something not going right when loading the driver files. The relevant lines contain things like \pdfobj reserveobjnum \edef\pgf@sys@pdf@extgs@objnum{\the\pdflastobj} and I haven't a clue what that's about.
@GonzaloMedina Unfortunately, as with all of these such conventions, they aren't enforced or required. So we may refrain from voting below -1, but that doesn't mean that everyone who can vote will do the same.
The only way to discourage excessive down-voting that I can think of is for the first person who voted down to leave a comment explaining why the down-vote. Then people might vote up the comment instead of voting down the question, especially if the comment is not actually all that negative.
@JosephWright I see. I wondered about that. Now, looking at this person's logs, it seems as though it is eating the \edef because the error seems to be saying that \pgf@sys@pdf@extgs@objnum is undefined. Well of course it is! The statement is meant to be defining it! Any ideas on what might be happening there?
I am trying to manually install tikz in my local texmf tree on my shell account at school.
I simply unpacked the latest build to ~/texmf/tex and ran texhash.

Ah, I did wonder about the age of the surrounding installation, but the line format=pdflatex 2010.5.8 fooled me. Presumably this was just when the pdflatex format was built.
The questioner says that they're using their "shell account at school" which is probably not updated often. Is there an easy test to see how old that is?
@GonzaloMedina I also found that unnecessary to vote it down to -3. A simple comment explaining that this is the wrong site to ask XML questions and a pointer to the correct site would have been enough and the right thing to do.
I migrated it then and was released seeing that the -3 votes didn't got passed to the other site.
I'll post a blog entry just to mention packages and tools from our site. Shouldn't boy scouts earn badges? We do have ours!
nowidow is so sad. :P
@StefanKottwitz: Awesome blog post! Speaking of text/math index, I remember I worked a little with Lucene in the past. Now that you mentioned it, I'm really curious to see advanced features of that engine. :)
