@HarishKumar that might not kill it though in the case above, it would kill the ssh connection to the other machine (I don't have vim) so it might just leave a rogue editor session running or it might not (who knows what vim will do:-)
@ach But both have lot of good things except that initial curves. I am attracted to both. Hence this attempt to learn using them. I say one shouldn't compare them.
@DavidCarlisle Encouraging words:
This tutorial is meant to be understandable to all new users, so if you found something unclear, don't sit and blame yourself - complain!
Does anyone know what the code tag is supposed to be about? Just encoutnered it on a question I was editing, and it seems to me everything on TeX>SX is about code...
@Qrrbrbirlbel Nice!
@DavidCarlisle Why :wq ? I expected you to promote :q! :)

@JosephWright see in bib upload pic, number 3 has no year, whereas 2 has a year, and 1 while it is a book it has a year but not bold this time, i want to be consistent, how?
as for non-bold years in book, I assume that's how it is defined in the style, you should be able to customize that as \DeclareFieldFormat[date]{volume}{\textbf{#1}} (or something along those lines.
Hmm I don't know, I thought biblatex could handle those, but I do not know enough about it and your .tex has a lot of customization. You might want to post this as an actual question, you'll get better answers, probably
you could also simply try to use a regular expression to fix all of those refs
about indexing, but the food is now served, they call me, I will get back to you soon, if you stay around otherwise, i don't now how to reach you later
@doctorate There are advantages and disadvantages. With datagidx you don't need to worry about using makeindex or xindy, so it's one less step in the document compilation process and is useful if don't have shell-escape and find it difficult running makeindex or xindy. However, the datatool` sorting is based on English sort order. So is makeindex, but xindy is best for non-English languages. datagidx also takes longer to compile the document.
@doctorate I don't have any control over that. You'd need to contact the MikTeX people.
i see. another question, how can one add clickable titles in the bibliogrpahy that will directly open the corresponding PDF file, given they are in Zotero library (citation manager)
@doctorate I usually just write the bib files in vim. I've used JabRef a bit just to find out about it for my tutorials, as I thought it would be a good idea to have information about a GUI, but I don't use it for my documents.
I see. this is reasonable of course if you have few references, but if they are 250+, Jabref would do a better job.
You book about PhD was really helpful, to give me general directions, but you avoided to delve into the details, leaving this task to the reader, are you writing something similar but with more details.
@doctorate Yes, it would. I tend not to have many references, as I don't usually write documents that require large bibliographies.
@doctorate What kind of details? It's difficult to know how much to cover. I've learnt from comments about my package documentation that beginners tend to get put off by too much detail in one go, so I wanted to write something that would help students get started and have the confidence to find out more from the manuals.
I agree, it is a difficult task to know how much details, but for me details are important and I always ask for more details, some people don't like too much details so it is like what you want. I felt safe, when compiled all chapters at the beginning and get encouraged, indeed.
@MarcoDaniel well you can save the box height depth, unbox it box it again and measure the new height depth if it is smaller, keep it if it is bigger keep the original or rebox it using vbox to ... to force the original height
I was making a quick graph in TexStudio, but I founnd I can not make an arrow of a length X. The only way I found to do what I want is this: Minimum length for \xrightarrow
In my opinion this is a workaround and it probably can be done neater/faster with a package of sort.

biblatex is very powerful but there are so many different layers and ways which can be used to change the formatting that it is very hard to track faulty formatting down !
A quick question before I begin digging into this deeper – does anyone know off the top of their head why my bibliography entry looks like this (backticks and single quotes instead of formatted quotes, -- instead of en dash):
I'm using the IEEEtran style with a custom class
I don't have any bibliography specific settings/modifications in my class. Here's the packages loaded thus far:
@article{BenjaminiHochberg1995,
author = {Y. Benjamini and Y. Hochberg},
journal = {J. Royal Stat. Soc., Series B (Methodological)},
title = {Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing},
volume = {57},
number = {1},
pages = {289--300},
year = {1995},
}
@egreg The internet is notoriously bad at conveying subtle tones, so I sadly did not see the joke for what it was. At any rate, my current project is in pdfTeX and I fear changing and breaking things :)
Until now, I have been compiling my LaTeX documents with pdfLaTeX. My standard document preamble includes the "usual suspects" for non-English speakers (inputenc, fontenc, babel) and a bunch of other packages. Assuming I were to convert to XeLaTeX, what modifications of my preamble are advisable?...
Using arbitrary system fonts makes it difficult to get precise measurements for kerning etc. that microtype takes advantage of. It's a major obstacle. And not every font bothers to have every kind of font metrics available.
at any rate I somewhat agree with those that say those sorts of information is best left in the font itself, in kerning pairs and the like. However, I have nothing to gain from XeLaTeX as I am sticking to the txfonts (I already have figures with consistent captions ...)
I just didn't find out about xelatex until too late
but next time
I will take the opportunity to try out a different font like STIX or a tex gyre font
@ach I hate matlab, it's difficult to arrange fonts labels legends with others everytime i change things a little, I already have the data so no need to introduce external software into my workflow
@egreg Thanks! :) Surprisingly, it was a lovely day! A big happy sun in the sky, no traffic issues, lots of people in the university, a nice coffee, a great meal and some good news. :)
@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: Good night! 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!

@egreg flalign with the second column somehow made fixed width, so that setting the & so that its contents end up left alligned would do. I considered that but it pained me :-)
putting fixed width boxers with the content inside, say

Is there a way to globally turn off hyphenation of links in bibliography?
