@Magisch This is the problem with the world. Someone thinks you're good and you are called an expert. Then there's me, being all "Yeah, you don't know jack" and I have the years of experience and certifications to back it all up :P
@ArtOfCode Must be. Here is your exposure, good sir. Thank you! I'll tell all of my friends and soon you'll have so many things to put on your resume and you'll be able to get a real job.
usually just spelling your problem out to google gets you what you want or at least a pointer to formulate a better question for google which then leads you to what you want
I spent nearly an hour finding out how the \setlength{\tabcolsep} attribute works with a longtable because my calculations for textwidth wasn't adding up
turns out TeX takes the colsep between columns, halves it and applys it on either side of each column, bringing the total amount of tabcolsep to account for in a table from 4.2mm*{number of columns - 1} to 4.2mm * {number of columns}
You'd think that would be mentioned in the docs somewhere
@JohnDvorak You could actually call that ironic. It's the day you expected everything to be perfect and instead it was awful.
