I had the idea to make a VirtualBox VM with Ubuntu 12.04 including all LaTeX related software, so that people which need a proper LaTeX environment can just use it.
I get this with Opera instead of demonstration of setInterval function that the author intended

That's not TeX! That's RTF! Ha ha, I needed MINUTES to figure that out. Shame on me.

Picked this up from the email for the mod-only chat tomorrow. The chat is very late, so I may have to read-up on it after the fact. I guess @StefanKottwitz and @MartinScharrer will also find it a bit late - not ideal for Europeans :-(
I search a good looking font which has small empty space, means the characters are full and nearly quadratic.
Or in other words, if you draw a rectangle or quadre around a letter, nearly 80 % should be filled with the character, only small empty space.

@MartinScharrer: I think there is a small bug in \standalone. If you compile the following example with --shell-escape I get the error Package minted Error: You must invoke LaTeX with the -shell-escape flag.. This will happens if I use the option convert
\cite[p.~11]{Author1:2003a}
This inserts the number of page only for one author like "(Author1, 2003, p. 11)"
However, I would like something like "(Author1, 2003, p. 11, Author2, 2003, p. 22)"
Any idea?
When I use \tableofcontents, It uses ... as a filler between title and page number for subsections, How I can force it to fill space between title of sections and page numbers as well?
@percusse: Oh, no no, not offended at all. But my approach was really not the right one for this problem. You should post an answer with the rectangle option.
Does anyone know how to change lstlisting style that it looks like verbatim (the listings package) - the default style has this uah theme (ugly as hell)
@MartinScharrer can you turn your comment into an answer? I give you the template:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings,color}
\definecolor{verbgray}{gray}{0.9}
\lstnewenvironment{code}{\lstset{backgroundcolor=\color{verbgray},frame=single, framerule=0pt,basicstyle=\ttfamily,columns=fullflexible}}{}
\definecolor{shadecolor}{rgb}{.9, .9, .9}
\begin{document}

\begin{code}
for i:=maxint to 0 do begin
j:=square(root(i)); end;
\end{code}
\end{document}
@egreg I don't see a reason to merge two different approaches just to look better (to make me look less like a jerk)
I just find it a bit embarrassing that I have used some time on a problem and found two different approaches shortly after. One of course with help of Martin.
Sounds a bit like "hey I know something and I'd like to tell you what".
Is it possible that Windows isn't case sensitive in relation to picture names? For example I have a picture pic.png. If I write \includegraphics{pic} it will work. But If I write \includegraphics{Pic} it will not work. (Linux). How does it be in Windows?
Q: What is the normal way of handling adjacent footnote labels? Do people normally go with the first case below?
I don't care for the first case. It makes footnotes one and two look like one footnote labeled 12.
I tried fixing this and came up with my hack below.

@MarcoDaniel surprising the number of reports we got of \usepackage{ARRAY} giving warnings from \ProvidesPackage that the wrong file found. in latex 2.09 loading styles with the wrong case just silently worked on case insensitive file systems, in 2e the package loads (because that's the way it is) but the check on providespackage warns if the name is not correct) not so easy to add a check for \includegraphics
So we meet again, C#. :)
It's not so easy for to provide an answer, but I'll try.
Most of the time, we end up with complex documents which might require several runs in order to reach a steady state. So, it's likely you'll need more than one run to get the correct output.
If you stick with the...
Once I thought of writing a Lua code to check for invalid images. For valid images, they would be correctly displayed. For invalid ones, the following image would be displayed:
@PauloCereda I knew about spherical horses. :) It's from a joke. A very rich man wants to grew richer and so tells some groups of scientists to develop a system for winning at horse races.
1. The group of engineers claims to have a system that guesses correctly 3/4 of the times. The rich man dismisses them.
2. The group of mathematicians develops a system that always wins, but the existence of the solution depends on the axiom of choice, so the solution is actually not computable. The rich man dismisses them.
3. The group of physicists develops a system that wins in 99% of the races. The rich man pays them and starts using the system. However, it doesn't win even once. So the group is called for explanations. "Easy," says the group boss, "for simplicity we assumed that horses have spherical symmetry."
@egreg: I liked your solution to typesetting coordinates, and thought (well for my case), that it would be useful to be able to specify which bracket to use so modified it as
@JosephWright Hmmm.. You guys are determined to get me to learn expl3. And I have tried sooooo hard to avoid it, but have feeling that it may be inevitable.
It is an unfortunate reality that one must compile a LaTeX file several times in order to get all labels and citations correct. As far as I know, one should go on compiling as long as TeX warns that that "labels may have changed", and two or three passes may not be enough.
Is it possible to writ...
@JosephWright I'm ok with my version. I only posted it here in case egreg thought it was a good thing to add to his solution. Not sure if it warrants a separate answer without the keys working thought.
@TorbjørnT How did you find it! I gave up on the search on TeX.SE and was on google looking but even then could not find it. It seems that "infinitely" is the key word required to find it.
@TorbjørnT Yeah. given that it is so hard to search, perhaps there is an opportunity to start TeXoogle.com for searching TeX.Se. Anyone interested in joining me? We could make hundreds and hundred of dollars, until the whole world upgraded to TeX.. :-)
@egreg Well not if you think having three optional parameters is too much.. If you want to add it to yours that would be fine.
There are a lot of build/program options in editors. I am really confused when I should use each one and how.
For example, I can use the xepersian package with default settings of TeXmaker and TeXnicCenter 2, but I cannot configure WinShell and TeXworks to build xepersian documents.

@Jake: Are you able to make any sense of "I tried to get autoallineamento of the type AA. AA I didn't want an alienation of the type A A A A " at tex.stackexchange.com/questions/53970/…
@PauloCereda: I now created a Virtual Box machine with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and TeX Live plus a lot LaTeX related material. The idea is that people can download it and have a working LaTeX system right away. However, with all the software I installed it is 9.4GB in size :-(
:442661 I never actually used the .net xpath api (almost all my xpath is in xslt via saxon's java implementation) (including generating all our c# code:-)
In my file, I have the following \pagestyle{myheadings}, probably inherited from some old template. As far as I can tell, it does not do anything. I don't know what myheadings is, but afaik it does not exist. If it did, what should it be? Anyway. my reason for asking is that it breaks fancyhdr. Ie before it, the lines
@DavidCarlisle Ah. :) I tried to port a compiler a friend of mine wrote in Java to .net via IKVM. The generated assembly was far from usable, so I gave up. :) But it's been 3 years since I tried something with it.
No offense to anyone but I've always expected to see the computer scientists handling ...ehm... the computer much better. But some questions are just solved by copy/paste from the manual.
Using the amsbook class and the glossaries package, I receive an error
"! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \glossarytoctitle"
if I change the fontsize from default (in my case, to 12pt) or the linespread (in my case, to 1.5 or 2). The error occurs on the line of \printglossaries. ...
@PeterGrill The calc package redefines \setcounter, \addtocounter, \setlength, and \addtolength to benefit from the extended syntax. Only in their arguments \widthof and the similar commands receive the meaning for doing computations; outside them they are equivalent to \ignorespaces.
@egreg Well, then that explains why it has been ok to use \widthof directly sometimes. I think that would be a very useful information to anyone who came across that question.
@PeterGrill there wasn't really a chance of it working with \kern (or \hskip) but you might reasonably have expected it to work with \hspace, most places in 2e (when converting from 2.09) we used \setlength internally rather than using primitive \dimen@=#1 assignments, but neither the 2e kernel nor calc.sty defines hspace to do \setlength\dimen@{#1}\hskip\dimen@ instead of \hskip#1
@DavidCarlisle I had the \hspace version in my MWE originally but then since the same error was being reported, I took it out. This is really part of a xy1y2 problem, so perhaps better to use \hspace instead of kern at the y2 problem: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/54023/…
@PeterGrill well yes any macro you could probably define so that it picked up calc syntax if calc is loaded this is why tabular p-columns, minipage etc all acquire calc functionality, but redefining tex primitives like kern is harder (and guaranteed to break something)
@PeterGrill Yes probably @DavidCarlisle can chime in with his fluent Welsh for the following quote from the manual :
\pgfmathsetlength\mydimen{1cm} % parsed : slower.
\pgfmathsetlength\mydimen{+1cm} % not parsed : much faster.
*...To overcome this, the following feature is implemented: when no mathematical operations are required, an expression can be preceded by +. This will bypass the parsing process and the assignment will be orders of magnitude faster.*
@DavidCarlisle One day I'll see you writing TikZ macros on this site... I swear! Mae fy hofrenfad yn llawn llyswennod... TThat's a Welsh oath I found online :)
@PauloCereda @DavidCarlisle I feel like I should compile all your epic starred quips and put them into something like this tex.stackexchange.com/a/24719/8890 with the decorated letters and totally sweet rules. would be a perfect project for procrastination.

@egreg : It's Ok. Turns out it was something someone else did. Not my fault.
Are there any general recommendations on the site for avoiding line overflow? Other than sticking in line breaks, that is.
Specific text: "With the Debian and Ubuntu default client authentication configuration located at \sourcefile{/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_hba.conf}, SNPpy will run without modification. For other Linux distributions, changes may be necessary."
The /etc/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_hba.conf overflows.
I'm currently handling such things with a // immediately before the offending text, but that doesn't seem very elegant.
