I'm very disturbed by this error code:

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.

It's should be easy, I guess. Thank you for coming. : )
The question is: I have installed several packages. But I cannot use any of them in a document I am writing using TeXmaker. Where should I look to fix the error.
@KannappanSampath If you installed them "manually" by copying .sty files to your local TeX tree, you must also update your file data base. The details depend on your TeX distribution (TeX Live, MiKTeX, ....).
When there's an outrageous vertical stretch between paragraphs, just before a section header that has been pushed to the next page, is there a way to auto-insert a \clearpage just before the section?
I'm only intersted if there's a simple way, otherwise I'll do it by hand.
Thanks @Stefan for showing me this! I like it, I just get too many underfull vboxes (the onehalf linespace is to blame I guess). I think \raggedbottom will be the best.
Can I call @cgnieder into this room? I just wanted to comment on the package modiagram that's been added to tex.stackexchange.com/q/13863/86 in the vein of "this question led to a package". That's fantastic, and what's slightly unusual about it is that cgnieder (the package author) didn't answer the original question, but wrote the package in response to the question.
And I've left a comment on the question to clarify that you (cgnieder) are the author. It's nowhere stated on that page! I went clicking on links to verify that you were the author, and that the package really was inspired by that question. Others might not be so willing to follow links and so not understand the relationship.
for example \coordinate -- \coordinate [label=center:{#1}]() at (-0.5,0.5). Imagine that you have some picture of rectangle and with label or node situated right of this rectangle. And I want bounding box which include only the rectangle not + that label.
How can I have underlined links with hyperref?
That means how to configure hyperref not to change the color of the printout but use underlined active links which are completely transparent in print.
The condition for an answer to be qualified would be not to make code changes in a local copy of...
@StefanKottwitz I'll start today, I promise. :) I made some notes, but I couldn't start programming in this weekend. My Linux box refused to work, so I had to fix it. Everything is ok now, so I'm ready to begin. :)
@PauloCereda that's great :-) perhaps one could additionally extract the first alphabetic part of an argument string, to catch a word without spaces or special chars. Hm, or better not, I guess texdoc understands more complex strings such as hyperref/README
@PauloCereda I have sent them to the organizers an hour ago, so they should be available soon. But they are in German... and not all I've said is on the slides. For the programming with LuaTeX I have explained the solution to
This is a LuaLaTeX solution. It is a function that gets called just before TeX breaks the text into lines. It inserts ties ~ (only the penalty of 10000, the glue is already there) after the single letter word. Words will still hyphenate (see example below) - as far as I can see (after the w).

@PauloCereda well, XSL-FO sucks, and fop sucks even more :) - seriously: if you are in an XML world, you need standardized formatters. But XSL-FO is a) soooo complicated in comparison what it can do and b) it cannot solve "dynamic" problems.
These problems are for example: typeset a text in 10 different languages (on top of each other - different PDF layers) and the images and tables on the page should take the "longest language" into account
or: "does the text and the image fit next to each other on the page?"
And fop is the worst widely used XSL-FO implementation
I have created a system where you can answer these questions
There is no w3c standard that a) has paginated typesetting (HTML for example hasn't) and b) allows you to do arbitrary complex things. This is where my system jumps in (hopefully)
@PatrickGundlach The xsl-fo goup has just transformed itself into a "community group" which means it's much easier for people to join and has a much more lightweight process, so it may make sense to try to steer them a bit w3.org/community/ppl
@PatrickGundlach I wondered about joining, perhaps we should resurrect passivetex! (one of teh first FO typesetters, predates FOP really) but struggled back then to get enough uniocde support to rreally support xml,
@DavidCarlisle basic support is the correct term, nothing complicated possible that appear in real world documents. I don't want to say that HTML/css suck (they don't, at all) but paged media is so much more complex than that
@DavidCarlisle Your xmltex is used in a few places that I am aware of. I don't want to put much effort in FO at the moment (I have started my own FO processor three years ago)
(the mentioning of xmltex was not related to passive tex)
@PatrickGundlach, yes it depends on your expectations. If you have been printing from a browser rather than with tex since the 1990's then you are just happy to be able to insert a page break manually, the idea of actually implementing typographic rules doesn't occur to you:-(
@PatrickGundlach xmltex yes it's shocking I thought no one uses it (I don't) but then this year several people have contacted me about it (again last night as it happens and i found that some commercial scientific encyclopedia 9at several thousand pounds a copy) was typeset using it. scary:-)
@PatrickGundlach at a higher level, do you think it's worth having a "better xsl fo" as opposed to just using xslt (or any other language of choice) and writing out a normal TeX document and handling the typesetting requirements there. Currently I just do the latter and so in the end stopped following xsl-fo developments.
@DavidCarlisle I have created a specialized layout language that is a) inspired by HTML (table model), XPath (accessing variables, attributes, elements) and XSLT (data processing) and b) interpreted in the renderer itself (which is TeX in my case, but could be InDesign for example). The reason to do b) is to be able to typeset something on a virtual page and check if it is "too wide" or if another object of any kind also fits on the virtual page and to be able to different things if it fits ...
or if it doesn't fit (dynamic interpretation of the typesetting rules)
@PatrickGundlach yes interesting (b) of course is what you most miss using xslfo, but doing as I do and just writing out the top level document as tex and then styling using tex is a hard sell to anyone not already familiar with tex's ways. mabe I'll join the ppl group and we can chat there:-)
@DavidCarlisle Do so, I have just joined :) I will try to present my ideas on the EuroTeX 2012 this year and on XML Prague next year (well, I try, but I don't know if they let me :-))
"Dear NTNU Email Owner, We wish to inform you that an HTK4S virus has been detected in your NTNU Email folders ..." Nul points. Or rather, nul poeng. It's not even in Norwegian! (Extra points for spam in nynorsk). I suppose it could have been worse. They could have written 'a HTK4S virus'.
@PauloCereda I got a long way for many year answering xsl-fo questions on xsl-list by just assuming it was tex. (the whole mark thing helps if you know tex) For the rest it's just like using tex with both hands tied behind your back, no macro definition, no measuring of boxes, no \special, but otherwise just the same....
@PauloCereda I'm flattered, although I suspect that my packages are of little interest, and the only one that's likely to be updated regularly is the thesis class. (Although I do have some pending changes to csv2latex that I haven't had time to deal with.)
hi -- are there any folks here who play with OCG hyperref links? I posted an answer about them a few days ago that didn't see much attention, and I'm curious if any experts here are interested or could help me improve it...
@AlanMunn It might sound cliché, but I really like the concept of social coding. :) It's very nice to see updates from people we know and respect. :) I think we learn from both the code and the person.
@PauloCereda I also like the social coding idea, and sites like GitHub and BitBucket definitely make participating (and learning) much more accessible.
@BenLerner Looks reasonable to me, from my limited knowledge of these things. (For my sins, I have a feeling I will end up writing the driver support for LaTeX3 for hyperlinks!)
@AlanMunn Totally agree: that's why we have the GitHub mirror for LaTeX3
Have people been following the discussion on the TeXworks list about future developments? I've added something to my blog about the roadmap that has appeared.
@JosephWright, lucky you! :-) I'm mostly curious about three things: 1) how to fix the caveat I mentioned about setting the initial clipping path properly, 2) whether there are other PDF commands that \url could output that my code doesn't handle, and 3) whether the code is of interest to the hyperref maintainers. but as you say, if for your sins you get to handle the LaTeX3 hyperlink support, I guess I've gotten the attention of the right people :)
@BenLerner I've been trying to get hold of Heiko Oberdiek myself for something hyperref-related, and have not succeeded at the moment. I suspect he's very busy.
@BenLerner Probably the only way to deal with empty text would be to set things up with an explicit 'if blank' test before any PDF specials kick in
@JosephWright I was afraid of that -- I was trying to avoid patching \url itself since I wanted to avoid potentially breaking any of its macro and catcode munging.
@JosephWright okeydoke; I'd emailed him in August, and then both him and Sebastian Rahtz a month ago, and hadn't heard back either time. Since the email wasn't a bug-report, per se, I thought it might've gotten lost in the cracks.
@BenLerner Sebaatian has not been active in TeX development for some years, as far as I know. (He's a life member of UK-TUG, so I do know that he is about)
if tex.stackexchange.com/questions/47750/… doesn't involve tabularx or longtable am i supposed to remove those tags, or ask the original poster to do so, or neither?
@DavidCarlisle I was about to answer, when I saw you already did; the question is quite strange: the whole tabular is very wide and won't fit any page width.
A quick workaround is to locate language.dat.lua on your computer (watch out, there might be two of them, you need the one in TEXMFVAR if you are using TeX Live; mine is at /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-var/tex/generic/config/language.dat.lua) and change the synonyms for portuguese to

@PauloCereda I'm having a hard time even formulating the question. I want to access citation indexes from within BibDesk, but I don't know what to ask my library about how that access works. I can access things through the web without problems, but I don't have a clue about how to do it within BibDesk, or even if it's possible at my university. And they only know EndNote, so unless I ask the right questions, they're just going to say "We don't support BibDesk".
@JosephWright I don't think you should waste time on this. It's going to depend a lot on the specific access. Adam Maxwell (author of BibDesk) just responded on the mailing list with a rather depressing previous question about it: mail-archive.com/bibdesk-users@lists.sourceforge.net/…
This is exactly the question, (since my uni uses ezproxy too) but I don't think there's an answer to it.
@JosephWright Yes, I think that's how many places do it, and why a lot of users don't have any problems. But also I'm a bit in the dark as to how this all works from within BibDesk, and so I'm not even sure what questions to ask. As the message thread I linked to says, EndNote can do this.
@AlanMunn Yes: I can't work out how to set the server. As I'm in the UK, I'd need to use the one we have at Manchester (MIMAS) and not ISI's own server, for example.
@AlanMunn I think that in the US everything goes to ISI's own server. Years ago, we used to have a telnet-based service in the UK for Web of (Science|Knowledge), but that got canned partly because ISI were being awkward about having a 'consistent' experience.
@FrankMittelbach: @FrankMittelbach: I have been thought only the environments of the type align don't use the skips \abovedisplayshortskip and \belowdisplayshortskip.
@JosephWright The striped black and white shirt of Juventus actually derives from that of Notts County. They used to have pink shirts, but decided to change them and an English member of the Club had a friend in Nottingham.
@egreg Speaking of pink shirts, one day I was watching a soccer game and the narrator said that Palermo' original shirt color was red. Then, during the washing process, the red color faded to pink. The players decided to play with those shirts and Palermo adopted as the official uniform.
