@AlanMunn When you use gb4e do you also use normal enumerate in such document? I have noticed that their content do not line up. See e.g.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{gb4e}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\begin{document}
gb4e examples:
\begin{exe}
\ex Example one.
\ex Example two.
\end{exe}
enumitem examples:
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\arabic*)]
\item Example one.
\item Example two.
\end{enumerate}
enumerate list:
\begin{enumerate}
\item List item one.
\item List item two.
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
Note how the content of the first and second examples do not line up but how the second examples and the list line up. (Or maybe this is good for distinguishing examples from lists?)
I don't think this warrants a full-blown quesiton on tex.sx, so I'll just ask here: Has anyone had any experience with getting reftex to understand that \label in an align environment is a perfectly fine thing to want to \ref? And making it understand \eqref seems pretty hard too (C-c ) e just inserts (\ref{[...]) instead).
@kahen In reftex i usually hardcode my equations, sections, appendices etc. If that is done it is really easy (and you need not think about other future environments). Tell reftex to trust prefix.
(setq reftex-trust-label-prefix t)
Then if you wish reftex to insert eqref instead of ref simply do:
This: (setq reftex-trust-label-prefix t), no it checks for prefix in label name, if it knows any of the prefix' it will handle it accordingly. If the prefix is not added it will not be recognised as anything.
yes, that specifies that all equation labels with prefix "eq:" are typeset as \eqref. If you want to distinguish between different types of equations you can do:
I just wanted to post the same feature-request and found this one.
I like to suggest to simply use a slightly thicker separation line between shown comments if there are hidden comments between it. This can IMHO be done by adding an additional CSS class to the comment before or after the hidden...
It would improve reading a comment thread and avoid confusion if important intermediate comments are hidden.
If a post has several comments only the first and/or most up-voted once are shown by default. If a new important comment, e.g. by a moderator, is added then it will not be displayed by default and isn't very visible even when the whole list of comments is shown.
It would therefore be good if a m...
@MartinScharrer Haha, good comments. But I think you should keep your cool in SO. They are a different breed out there :D It is a good one too but I think it's going to be exploited right away everywhere but TeX.SE.

I'm using pgfplots extensively and I'd like to avoid having to write legends every time, since all the text files I want to plot have explicit headers.
As a comparison, \pgfplotstabletypeset makes a nice table instantly with my data, and I'm looking for a similar way to get graphs in an easier w...
@hhh I am definitely not saying that it's impossible otherwise, I'm just proposing an alternative which gives (personal opinion here) superior control over plotting capabilities.
and for the record I'm a MATLAB power user and I'm burning with hate when even thinking about it :) So I have carried over all my plotting stuff to pgfplots (little bit of R and Lua rarely).
@hhh Great, please don't take my comments too seriously. Everybody has a certain equilibrium about the workload and things that make me go crazy can be pretty natural to you and vice versa. However together with the manual, the questions under pgfplots would hopefully convince you that it's a pretty competitive alternative.
I'm typesetting some group theory notes, and a significant amount of it is cycles, i.e. \left(1\,2\,3\right). Is there a way of defining a command which takes a arbitrary number of arguments so I can write \cycle{1}{2}{3}?
@PeterGrill S/he manages to keep a conversation under very careful conditions (the chat room is still visible) but somehow it rubs the wrong way in the case of the slightest mistake. It must be pretty depressive to keep it that way.
@percusse Yeah, I just don't get users like that. I could understand someone thinking that a new user might not be getting it, but a little thinking before responding (like perhaps looking at the order of magnitude of the rep) should have gone a long way. But even to a new user, there is just no need to respond like that... So sad to see that here... Lets hope it does not proliferate...
@PauloCereda so you just volunteered to fix latex-project.org/cgi-bin/ltxbugs2html?pr=tools/4188 why did luatex introduce an incompatible version of \mathcode without giving it a new name. that seems,... unfortunate.
@Werner Hey, thanks for the info on protrace -- don't know how I missed that answer earlier. Of course now I can blame you for providing yet another excuse to procrastinate.
The last part was in reference to "His question is Is there a way of defining a command which takes a arbitrary number of arguments which case I gave him an example to do so using xparse"
I just wanted to say that is answer isn't good even if he can argue that it answers some part of the question.
Do you think it would be worthwhile to provide hints as to what language to use for the syntax highlighting?
Sometimes I find the highlighting on SQL or VB.NET answers is more distracting than helpful; for example:
Converting MySQL select to PostgreSQL

@Werner It took some time and effort but it's worth it :P Maybe this would remove the bad taste from the comment clash you had today, there is a very kind apology for you on this one in the comments :)
Just for the sake of answering with something instead of letting it linger in the unanswered list. Since your accept rate is zero and this is a draw-it-for-me question, your future questions are also unlikely to be answered. Please consider improving your stats and question formulation.

@MartinScharrer Yep, David caught that already (I wanted to edit but it was too late, hehe) It's nice to see my mistake hanged on the wall in this room. I don't know how long it will stay there but no worries I'm not ashamed. It's an official expandable brace request! (sounds like asking for jewellery from my husband)
It does its job. But I wrote what I use for it a looong time ago. And I'm not sure I understand how all those \mark{left,right} and \{left,right}mark macros work any more
@Werner I have a big songbook and I'd like "fancy" chapter headers. I'm stuck with the book document class, but tempted to migrate everything to memoir. Sadly, the latter only supports up to 16 indices (I need 24+) and imakidx is incompatible with it. :(
it does have some limitations that e.g. memoir handles better. For example memoir's \makerunningwidth which can extend a header rule into the margin (for example to have page numbers written in the margin). I think that's much harder to make with fancyhdr
@PauloCereda: Then you can also define your own page styles easily (or redefine existing ones) using fancyhdr, if you want to switch between certain styles.
Well... using fancyhdr as it is by default is just horrible. WHAT WITH THE HEADER LOOKING LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN BY AN AOL LUSER. (all caps italic... why?!?)
@kahen No axis for that in NFSS, as it's the 'case' axis that is hard to sort out (since most people expect to type two of the possibilities separated: upper and lower case)
@kahen It's tricky, and something to think about for XFSS (the LaTeX3 implementation of NFSS)
@kahen well we could have made that a separate axis but that would have meant every part of the NFSS tables would have required an extra axis and it would have been 10 years before PC users had systems capable or running latex2e.
@MarcoDaniel: You around? Have a mdframed bug for you? If the frame has an display math at the top and breaks just after that, the frame width is different across the two pages:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{mdframed}
\newmdenv[%
leftmargin=0.5cm,
rightmargin=0.5cm,
backgroundcolor=yellow,%
]{Myframe}%
\begin{document}
\vspace*{16.75cm}
\begin{Myframe}
\begin{align*}
e &= mc^2\\
F &= ma
\end{align*}
\lipsum[1]
\end{Myframe}
\end{document}
@JosephWright I think we did toy with the idea of a case axis for 2e but the way the axes work it would have been vastly expensive (as almost every font combination would need substitutions anyway as the fonts are not available) and we only had a few hundred csnames left in the hash table in emtex after 2e is loaded...
I hope mwe finds his way to TeX Live and MiKTeX. I really like people to use it when they have images in their MWE. This will avoid [demo] and \rule etc.
@cmhughes I got contacted by Karl Berry about the image names on Friday. I renamed them now and reuploaded the package. If they are happy with them it might be in TeX Live tomorrow or the day after.
A lot of questions on the main site are fixed by updating the distribution. At present, I don't think we have a comprehensive guide to updating the various distributions- the answers are spread about over the site, and hinted at in

@MartinScharrer It can be quite amusing when translating between German and Portuguese (for example), where the Sun is masculine and the Moon feminine.
@PeterGrill don't know :) I suppose you might call it a bug, but only because the mdframed package doesn't give its usual (and very helpful) 'bad break' warning in this case
@MartinScharrer thanks very much, I'm glad you like the idea. I'll wait until an answer is posted (and receives a suitable number of upvotes) before posting
@BrentLongborough: Sorry, I was at the phone. :( I tried with a sample file and it raised the register error, but I forgot to add the example to the question. :)
@Werner Well, your arrogance exceeds your ignorance. I'd expect you to at least read the xparse docs before making such claims that it can't do what it needed. There are several ways to accomplish the task from using optional arguments to using using \SplitList, \SplitArgument, \ProcessList, r, u, etc... Anyways, I don't expect to get anywhere here... the arrogance is suffocating... — Uiy4 mins ago
@cmhughes I think you should post that as an answer as it certainly does solve the two problems I mention. And let @MarcoDaniel decide what he thinks is best as far as the package goes, or perhaps he will have another solution.
@Werner you replied in a more gentle manner than I would have withhold myself from! Very nice! Exactly his attitude, and his constant attitude makes me never answer/reply/comment anything from him. I am sad to say so. But I dont think it will turn out good. :(
@MartinScharrer There was actually a case where I was shown a solution to one of his questions, but the person with the solution did not want o bother posting it as it might be dealing with that user...
@Werner Are you sure you missed the previous ones?? Perhaps they were when you were on vacation, but going thru the comments of his questions should be an interesting read.

@PeterGrill it'll be the same fix required somewhere else:-) The line that @MarcoDaniel added to fix that appears in the package in 100 places, presumably it needs to be 101
@MartinScharrer ah, yes, if you're the moderator it doesn't make much sense to 'flag for moderator approval' :) The 'Marshal' badge is also on my todo list
@cmhughes I actually can flag posts (but only with reason "other" in order not to close automatically) but only do this to notify other moderators or to bookmark things which can't be done immediately.

Thanks. I think I'll post it as a real question (second in my series "How do I do this simple PSTricks thing in TikZ") :) I just thought there would be something obvious that I'm missing, but clearly not. When I do ask it you can add this as an answer.
@AlanMunn No problem at all. It is indeed one of the PSTricks things that gives you an extra twist. I think Altermundus is trying to convert many PSTricks commands to TikZ and probably he has an answer already :)
@PauloCereda I don't think there's an option for that, it'll always print the "names" of the columns (even if they're just 1, 2, 3, ...). I tried doing that the other day, and couldn't figure out a way (or only one that involved more work than should be necessary). It might be a good idea to open a feature request for this at sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=224188&atid=1060659. Christian's really good at quickly implementing stuff like that.
@Jake Wow. If you could not do that, I better stop now. :) Thanks for the info, I'll add a note to my answer about it. :) And thanks to @percusse for helping me too. :)
@MartinScharrer It may not be the best way but it is a way and it has other benefits. People are sick of me being rude? haha... but it's ok for someone to post arrogant comments? I'm sick and tired of all the arrogant bastards who think they know everything and if you don't do it just like they want they think they can write comments telling you just how you should do things. I think it's very arrogant for you guys to suppose that you are special and have some right to dictate to others how they should be... Of course.. I don't expect you to understand that... — Uiy38 mins ago
"How does this answer the question?" Is extremely arrogant... it is also very baiting. He wants to start an argument... But that's ok because he has 55k points or cause he is a regular? But when I challenge him on it I'm the one that gets the shaft... lucky for me, I could care less... I'm wrong for trying to help the op by pointing him to a resource that may solve his problem and future problems... but he's right because he has other arrogant buddies that think just like him... to bad truth isn't dictated by numbers. — Uiy35 mins ago
@PauloCereda Indeed there is a warning in the manual about it. The vspace is making it problematic. The following is doing the job fine. (no I'm not obsessed with it! :P )
\pgfplotstabletypeset[%every head row/.style={before row={\vspace{-0.2em} } },

precision=4,
col sep=space,
