Q: Does \rotatebox{0} on a tabular have some problems?

marreI apply \rotatebox{0} to a tabular with a 3 times reproduction of the same column. The result is different than without \rotatebox. \begin{center} %\rotatebox{0}{ \begin{tiny} \begin{tabular}[t]{|\Tattab|\Tattab|\Tattab|} \hline \GMLta & \GMLta & \GMLta \\ A & b & c \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{...

Q: Highlight missing closing brackets in TeXworks

user1301428Is there the possibility to perform a check in TeXworks to see if there are any missing closing brackets? With this I also mean brackets not related to specific latex commands (e.g. ( and )).

 
@lockstep voted and also three other questions you linked before.
 
10:34 PM
@gekkostate don't worry, I'm sure someone will look at it soon- this is a chat to try and keep the site tidy at the moment ;)
 
@DominicMichaelis Technical note: Go with the mouse on the message you want to reply and click on the hooked arrow appearing on the right (or click on the left for a popoup menu, where you explicitly can see “Reply to this message” after the mentioned arrow). And you do not need to write a new message for every sentence. There is a limit for all not fixed-spaced content, but it is looonger … (Oops, now that I write this you do exactly this.)
 
@gekko right now we are closing a lot of questions and we post the question which should be closed
 
@DominicMichaelis oh haha! Alright. I will be more careful next time :D

Q: Paragraph headings followed by line space and no indent, but indents or line space for "unheaded" paragraphs

Carl R. CastroI would like to have paragraphs with a heading followed by a line space (i.e. blank line) and then no indent for paragraph text after that line space. By "paragraphs with a heading", I mean paragraphs created with an explicit command - e.g. \paragraph{This is the Paragraph Heading} - and with pa...

 
@DominicMichaelis No, closing and deleting are different cases.

AlexGIs there a way, in LaTeX3, to find out whether a given control sequence or variable is a box register (created with \box_new:(cN))?

 
@JosephWright You are a regular TeXworks user. Isn’t this one more a feature request, so the only answer would be “No, this is not possible in the moment, the sources must be changed for this.”?

Q: Can several TexWork users in a network use one common copy of the Hunspell dictionary stored on a server?

Espen DonaliCan different TexWorks users, working in a network, have a central place for storing the HunSpell dictionary, instead of all having a local copy on their computer? The reason is we need to add new words to the hunspell dictionary. That would be much easier if we have only one copy of hunspell in ...

Does anyone know if I use includegraphics with some pdf file, will it try to display the entire pdf (the whole page with all the blank spcae) or just the TikZ figure?
 
the hole pdf
if you make a tikz
use the documentclass standalone
there you will only have page that is exactly large enough for your graphic
 
@DominicMichaelis BTW: 4 messages, that could have been one …
@AlanH Beside Dominic’s advice with standalone see also the package tikzinclude.
 
@Speravir Oh I am sorry I am used to press enter to often
 
@DominicMichaelis Well, happens to me, too, sometimes. But you can edit for 2 minutes.
