I need to determine if a TeX macro is already defined or not via a Lua function. Any ideas?
function IsTeXMacroDefined(macroname)
if defined(macroname) then return true end
return false
end

@Canageek Obviously, yes. If someone asks the same question now, they will be referred to that old one, so the answers should be as current and complete as possible. There are a couple of badges to honor exactly this sort of thing.
@StephanLehmke Ok, good. Normally I wouldn't think twice about it, but given that there are multiple 30+ upvote questions.
I'd like someone to go over over the other new answer though; Something about that strikes me as very wrong, but I don't want to downvote it without being sure it is not ok
@DavidCarlisle I hereby invoke l'esprit d'escalier. My response to the fact that Tesco's can't spell doughnut consistently (let alone correctly): That's more reasons to shop at Morrisons.
@egreg actually it looks like the family will be out on Wednesday so I can be online anytime from around 6 (17:00GMT) til late if 1800GMT is not a good time?
@PauloCereda since you are out f or the day (pinging you on the reply to egreg above:-)

@AlanMunn Removing or reversing the direction of a vote is limited to 5 min. After the post is edited, one can also remove or reverse his vote. For completeness.
@JasperLoy Sadly, my paper: "An investigation into the genus of popular foods" got rejected by the arXiv. Maybe I shouldn't have uploaded it on Palm Sunday.
I don't have a plan:-) Anyway I'll be around from 6 (here) til late, but since you said you are planning to ask awkward questions, I hope your train is late and you miss the interview:-)
How to call a mathjax in XSL, I have XML file and stylesheet(XSL). The xml file contains TEX equations, how to view the tex equations in IE through XSL.
Please guide.
@StephanLehmke Definitely off-topic (I've just cast the final vote). We have a list of "text building blocks" on meta for occasions where you can't think what to say. They aren't meant to be used as "You must use these" but rather in this situation where you can't think what is right. It's better to use one of those than to not say anything.
There are some replies that are used quite often. For example, the first reply to many questions is a demand for a minimal example. These replies should typically include a link with additional information. So I thought that it might be useful to collect some standard replies for quick copy&p...
@AndrewStacey This is great! I could have used the MWE comment several times before, but just try to search for "MWE" on the main site hoping to find a nice comment to copy from :-)
@egreg (since you're here) is there an easy way to iterate over words in a sentence? In truth, I'm iterating over letters using a parser-type macro that repeatedly calls itself until it reaches a STOP macro, but it ignores spaces as they get eaten up by the space-eater. Is there a "standard" way to do this? \@ifnextchar ignores spaces, I think.
@StephanLehmke Good! It's certainly helped me on many occasions, and sometimes just knowing that it is there spurs me to write a comment where I wouldn't have done so otherwise. If you have any improvements, or new suggestions, either edit them in (if you think they're uncontroversial) or mention them for discussion.
(Mind you, it's just occurred to me that a nasty piece of work could subtly alter those blocks to change the tone of this site and maybe no-one would notice for quite some time!)
@AndrewStacey Yes, it ignore spaces. I'd iterate with \seq_set_split:Nnn, splitting at spaces; then one can reinsert them. When you then use \seq_map_inline you can do whatever you want to each word.
@RoelofSpijker Randomly extra-horrible. It's probably a feature of the second letter being w together with the inherent random offsets and rotations that are already there. Let me try regenerating it and see if I get better spacing ...
(need a better random number generator: if I run it twice too close together then nothing changes) Looks like the n and w just want to be together. Maybe they are strange attractors.
@Canageek No I didn't. I was mildly tempted to go and write an answer for it based on what I used to produce the above, but I don't know any suitable spells.
@RoelofSpijker Turns out I wasn't computing the width of the space correctly. It was doing something very silly. I need to fix my character generation script to take that into account.

@AndrewStacey This looks suspiciously like beamer and pgf.
With luatex, it is possible to use many libraries and functions that can simplify various aspects of lua programming. As lua as language is quite new for majority of TeX users, I think it would be good if we can share experiences in searching for useful libraries and techniques that appeared to u...
@Canageek, hi. I see you were disturbed by my answer, above -- what's wrong with it? (I'd be happy to improve and/or delete it, was just trying to be helpful.)
@Canageek I haven't noticed any problems with the three or so document classes I've tried; I suspect it /is/ unstable, though, against packages that manipulate hyperref at all.
That said, the macros I redefined in hyperref are only called when the ocgcolorlinks option is used, so the user has already "opted in" to an experimental feature
It actually seems more stable than trying to typeset your text twice, which is the original implementation of ocgcolorlinks (it saves off your text in a box, which may change whether you're in restricted horizontal mode or not...)
(BTW, which answer, the one I just posted or the older one it links to? :-p I think I explain some of this stuff, though not all, in the older one)
@BenLerner looks Not your answer, actually. There was another one that is gone now. It worked on \documentclass[hidelinks]{report} or something like that.
It was what put the question at the top of the RSS feed, which was why I noticed it.
@BenLerner Yeah, I should have looked earlier. It suddenly seemed odd, since you were mentioning details I KNEW were not in the question, since it was a one line answer, sourced to the MiKeTeX documentation.
No worries -- actually, I'd raised my old answer in this forum, hoping to attract the attention of some PDF internals experts to double-check my PDF trickery, so it didn't surprise me that someone might find it odd/objectionable
Looking at this post tex.stackexchange.com/questions/29638/… and I have pretty much the same problem.The OP asked if there was a way to change the header to lowercase in book class. I don't know if there is an answer there. If yes, what am I missing? My header are still all caps
I just checked my MWE with memoir and scrartcl; they work fine (though the paper sizes are slightly different; odd, but not relevant to my code), along with my daily-used classes sigplanconf and llncs.
No, I didn't write hyperref! Heiko Oberdiek, I think, is the author. I know nowhere near enough about PDFs to have written that. I just dove into his code to fix a feature I thought ought to be feasible :)

@N.N.: Thanks to your answer, I'm having a great time with emacs, but still not into AUCTeX, doing some useful work in org-mode. Problems, though, with utf-8, as in this question:
My friends have persuaded me to "try again" (about the 5th time in about 12 years) with emacs. I'm currently suffering a little, and need help with emacs + utf-8.
I'm running the 23.3.1 emacs gui on Windows 7 with my own custom keyboard layout (built with MS Keyboard Layout Creator). The layout ...
@BrentLongborough Great to hear. Such problems that block you from doing actual work can be very irritating. I mean, it is one thing to not know how to write macros and another to not be able to use your keyboard properly. I hope you can solve the problem. Afraid I am unfamiliar with keyboard setups in Emacs.
@BrentLongborough I added the emacs tag to your question. Not only because it fits that tag, it has 318 followers.

@JosephWright That comment about bigintcalc should be an answer. I'd do differently, as I have gp on my machine: \newcommand{\printfactorial}[1]{\@@input|"echo '#1!'|gp -q" \unskip}, using shell-escape: it's much faster. :)
@PauloCereda There's the awesome bigintcalc by H. Oberdiek. I've just used it to print the list of the first 100 Fibonacci numbers with a few lines of LaTeX3 code. :)
My plan for reaching 100k before the summer holidays is going well. :)
@Werner although the penalty settiings don't have to be global of course (and using mbox stops the white space in the expression being shrunk to help it fit on the line)
@PauloCereda I wrote a fast implementation just before going away from office; then in the bus I had some time to think how to make it expandable. Much time! Indeed we were blocked in the traffic: many people going to see Chievo-Milan. :( So I lost my train. :(
@PauloCereda The "nice" thing is that the next train, scheduled for an hour later, was announced as being 30 minutes late. :-O So I took another one, which stopped midway and there I could catch another one.
@DavidCarlisle Well, there's a problem for tomorrow! At 18:45 UTC there's Juventus-Lazio. So the interviewer is not available at that time. :)
@egreg I'm always scared when going to São Paulo. :) I arrived 7:30 in the morning and both righways were already jammed. I once faced a flood, it was terrible. :(
speaking of interviews I had more or less forgotten but there is tug.org/interviews/carlisle.html not sure if you should make this explicitly an "update" of that, perhaps not but it may fill in some background for any questioners
@DavidCarlisle LOL! :) TBH I like the format, I've been using it a lot for serialization. :) My problem is with the claim that it's human-readable. :P Human-readable perhaps, but not human-comprehensible (I have some ugly XML mappings of objects. :)
