@JosephWright That would be nice. It is sad that there is no better solution out there (like connecting vanilla installation with an Ubuntu package) because when Ubuntu 12.10 is released I guess TeX Live 2012 will be out. Still it is a great leap for those stuck with the old TeX live package.
@NN If you read up on the ins and outs of the packaging situation, it's not really avoidable. So unless there are additional volunteers to help at the Debian end then there will always be a delay.
Please, can any good English speaker explain me this sentence? "Else you would realize not every nail requires a slege hammer" It's from a comment here: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/54040/…
@tohecz there are various English idioms around "using the right tool for the job" basically he's trying to say that simple problems may only need simple questions rather than a full MWE and full package based solution (but he says this every time and keeps posting rubbish questions:-)
Honestly using the Ubuntu packaging theme on LaTeX isn't a good thing. There should be one or two package which installs a basic or full scheme and the rest should be done using its own package manager.
@NN Yeah, I read this in the meantime. And the answerer is the Debian TeX maintainer and the author of tlmgr, so he should now what he is talking about.
It seems that it is what the users want versus what the developers/maintainers need.
I wonder if the following is meant as praise or mockery:
It is possible to confuse the screenshots for actual text...
@MartinScharrer That is a good way to put it. Maybe one could have one TeX package for satisfying other packages and one TeX package that is like quick install to satisfy user's need of a recent TeX distribution.
Grr, "That's not the official approved university logo".
At least they have a title page template now ... in Word of course ... holding only a PNG image and some dummy text.
But they of course not provide the PNG as a separate file. At least OpenOffice allows you to extract image files. I tried this years ago with Word with not luck!

@PatrickGundlach But it is not minimal, because its minimal period is 3 with index 5/3. The minimal conjugate is 11110, and you have to wait a short while for that ;)
@PauloCereda The ul.pdf is the output. The input is official_ul_crest.png converted to .pnm. I uploaded the PNG to my imgur account: i.imgur.com/H6Srv.png
@MartinScharrer Probably once you get the graphics done, we might be able to get the text on top of it with some text decoration (assuming the font is available). The university secretaries make me really really angry for not keeping up with the house style.
@percusse, @PauloCereda: Jackpot: I now found "UNIVERSITY OF LIMERICK BRAND SPECIFICATIONS" www2.ul.ie/pdf/567279072.pdf
Ha Ha, section 2.4 "Incorrect usage of Logo"
"Never attempt to re-create or re-proportion any logo artwork similar to the examples below which DO NOT comply with the University of Limerick Brand Guidelines."
@PauloCereda: The Brand Spec PDF has the logo as vector graphic included. I just extracted it using Inkscape. Any idea how I can tell it to reduce the drawing size to the pasted content?
@JosephWright Thanks. Last time I tried .docx was out yet ;-)

@NN I know nothing about Debian or TL packaging, but can't they just take the whole vanilla TL and make some changes here and there and then put it into the Debian repositories? I guess not and that's why it takes so much time.
@JasperLoy To be honest, I have no idea. :) I used it for a brief time (10 days) because I had to format my PC. :( As far as I can tell, everything went fine, but I didn't try to update it. I'm not stuck with the official TL. :)
@MartinScharrer You could export to PDF and select Export area is drawing. :)
I now extracted it from the branding specification document. I also wrote an email to the two people in charge for the logo if there is a vector graphic version available.
@PauloCereda I'm planning to release a PhD thesis template for my university once I find the time.
@AlanMunn On the other hand, this definition has different effects in LuaLaTeX, I believe because XeTeX uses the .notdef character for nonexistent glyphs, while LuaTeX doesn't.
@AlanMunn Probably fontspec should reserve \textipa, \textdotacute, \textgravedot, \rtone, \stone, \tone, which are the commands defined \AtBeginDocument with \let.
@egreg That makes sense. So is this a problem with xunicode or is it unavoidable? The behaviour certainly isn't ideal, since xunicode doesn't even have any user documentation, so it's not clear to average users that this is what is happening.
@egreg Interesting. That would certainly match the output difference.
@AlanMunn I don't really know why the definitions are delayed; but I believe xunicode.sty should say \AtBeginDocument{\let\textipa\tipacatchonechar}\providecommand\textipa{} and similarly for the other commands.
Once I was in charge of the advertising team for a big event in the university. I had to create all the material. And the companies who were sponsoring the event wanted their logo too. I drew every single logo I could (IBM, Dell, Nokia). Those companies are quite feral of releasing their logos even for big events (they only give you a big PNG file). There was a logo I was unable to reproduce (too much gradient), so the company sent me, but I had to sign an agreement first of not releasing it. :P
@JosephWright I think the problem here is more ideological. :) Brazil always had too much bureaucracy for everything. Even when dealing with multinational companies, the local subsidiaries are affected by the environment. :)
@tohecz I would recommend removing the word "forum" as that is usually associated with discussions, and the main site is strictly intended for a Q/A (with very minor discussions only for clarification).
@N.N. I realise that you've got a bunch of experience about exporting from org to LaTeX, I saw some questions of yours and you probably solved most problems by yourself. So why not publish your solutions somewhere for the benefit of all?
@egreg: Checked out solution to 54052. Works for the case in your MWE, but does not work with \left\{x \suchthat x=\frac{1}{2}\right\}. I thought that woudl be an easy adjustment: just replace \middle| with \ifnum\currentgrouptype=16 \middle\fi|, but that does not quite do it
my docment class is book
the default setting make part stay solo page but with page number
How to remove the page number?
If I want to customize the part? How to do? Is the titlesec package helpful?
Friends, I've never used \part{} before, so bear with me. =)
Consider the following code:
\documentclass[twoside]{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{titlepage}
My title page.
\end{titlepage}
\cleardoublepage
\pagestyle{plain}
\frontmatter
\tableofcontent...
@N.N. The question: »I'd like to draft my future LaTeX-documents using Emacs and Org-mode and export them later into a *.tex-file. I know that there are two exporter packages, but at least the standard package seems very limited. Is there anybody out there who has to offer experience and all the dirty tricks?« -- If you're gonna answer, I'm gonna ask!
@egreg Title of question is bugging me. I can't come up with anything better than "Applying \middle outside of a \left \right group?". If anyone has a better suggestion for a better title of How to set currentgrouptype or how to apply \middle from within a \iftoggle, please go ahead and change it or let me know.
@KeksDose Such a question makes sense and I would answer it. Might not have time today but later this week. What do you mean by two packages for export?
@N.N. There ist the standard package, forgot it's name, and in /contribute/lisp an experimental package, called 'org-e-latex.el'. If you are interested, read the org-mode mailinglist. I don't understand much, but interesting enough. However, I'll edit my question this evening a little bit or more and ask, you'll see!
@PauloCereda: I'm working on my mwe package again. I have all images files as standalone files. I'm not sure if I should keep them this way or simply have them as only the tikzpicture code.
@MartinScharrer I prefer tikzpicture The package become smaller and the user has a chance to see the code ;-) Whereby I can't imagine that a user compile a documentation.
@MarcoDaniel The fix about the origin overlap can be slightly corrected by removing cycle and putting (0,0) or you can change the line join parameter. The reason why it is so obvious is related to the acuteness(?) of the slice angle.
@egreg I was speechless. :( He is a great goalkeeper, but human too (Marcos failed when Palmeiras lost to Manchest United in 1999 too). But I don't believe Juve will lose the title to Milan. Inter lost the game and needs to win against Milan to get the 3rd place. :)
Keep an eye out in your meta for a self-evaluation meta post. Everyone should be getting one over the course of the next few weeks. This is a great opportunity to take a long, hard look at yourselves and get a sense of how healthy your site is. Be honest in your assessment! We'll talk more about this at another chat-cast. For an example of what one will look like, check out Movies & TV.
