Latest typography news: there will be a thesis with the Lenny chapter style, but where unnumbered chapters' titles will have a rule under them; the main font is Times, but math is in Euler Math. I don't want to know about line spacing and margins.
Don't speak about long days: Woke up early since the lecture had to start at 8:45. But the lecture was obviously cancelled (noone there). Later I found that my student restaurant card with EUR 15 is definitely lost (despite that, I hope to get the money back), then I found that the research we do and I should present next week on a conference was already done by someone else 8 years ago. Now I returned from a party at my supervisor's place.
so the party was fun, but the rest of this day? :-/
@percusse I think the other answers need to include "adding a multiple of one line to another line doesn't change the determinant" and "multiplying two columns by -1 doesn't change the determinant" ;)
Well, the OP should be aware of this. I only want to show that keeping with the formalism is sometimes better than introducing strange notation. The rest (including which solution he prefers) is upon his shoulders ;)
@tohecz I also hate these shortcut solutions. especially that Gauss elimination of [A|I] to get the inverse on the right side is just slashing kittens.
But an underbracket of det=1 would make it more informative. Also a nice opportunity to include {vmatrix*}[r] syntax that I've tried to mention under the comments of Americo.
Simargl (také Semargl) je slovanský bůh nejasného významu, jenž patřil k idolům, jež vztyčil kníže Vladimír roku 980 v Kyjevě. Slovo nekojego christoljuba jej však uvádí jako dva bohy, Sima a Rgla.
Existují dva hlavní výklady jeho funkce. První jeho jméno odvozuje z íránského senmurv-símurg, což je posvátný okřídlený pes chránící rostliny. Problém je ovšem ta, že Símurg není božstvem, ale pouze démonem. Druhý výklad jméno odvozuje ze slovanských slov sema (rodina) či seme (sémě) a rž (žito), což by znamenalo Sima a Rgla, ochránce dobytka a obilí. Pokud jsou dvojicí může se jednat o blížene...
@DavidCarlisle Working with web browsers on the programming side (web programming) has been thus far my least favorite programming activity. Possibly my least favorite computer related activity. I was shanghaied into it. I don't do it now. And never again.
@FaheemMitha Yeah, that happens. But one of the colleagues (very experienced yet open-minded lady) said what can be summarized as: "You're a PhD student to gain experience, not just to have results."
@FaheemMitha Professional typesetting? :D
@JosephWright according to the number of false answers here, it would use a protection I think:
Does anyone know if a WYSIWYG editor for biblatex exists, where I simply can enter some kind of template (e.g. regular expression or whatever) and the needed commands to produce this style would be generated.
Especially for the style of entries in the reference list. Considering different order...
@JosephWright I rejected an anonymous edit that, in my opinion, changes the terms of the question, but it got accepted by someone else. Note that the OP is registered. Can you have a look? tex.stackexchange.com/questions/91297/… Not that I mind too much, of course.
@AdorableCreature In case you'd like to reply, you could hover your mouse pointer over the message you'd like to reply to, and on the right, you should see an arrow that looks like reflected enter key. :)
@egreg yeah, well, MWE contains my own class 800 lines, adding natbib support when you redefine bibliography appearance is a pain-in-the-(where-sun-does-not-shine)
@JosephWright because they are stupid Czech professors who don't know what BibTeX is and who are able to write the names in one reference as A. Surname and John Doe, Clinton, B.
@egreg I had some problem with expandibility and thought \expandafter is necessary. Thanks! Still, since I might implement it directly into the class, I need to be ready for people using non-numeric citations, hence I need \@ifnextchar[
@egreg Milos Zeman (former comunist in 80s, was a socialist leader in 90s, then retired, founded a new party 3 years ago, and he's clearly part of Czech mafia, together with Klaus), Karel Schwarzenberg (comes from the family of Schwarzenberg, was in disent during the communist era, now the minister of foreign affairs and a head of one of our new parties, he's quite old [68 I think], his party is a bit controversial, however, I believe that he's a good person with high morals)
A while ago I was helped using titlesec to format the chapter title for my thesis. Today a reviewer says that the appendix and the bibliography need 1in top margin. How do I do it? Thanks.
\documentclass[letter, 12pt]{report}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\newtheorem...
@tohecz Regarding the recent "titlesec spacing" question: The OP pointed out that my solution produces an extra \baselineskip. Do you have any idea why this is so?
Prologue
We love hanging out in our main chatroom. It's a very friendly place, where we talk about virtually everything - even TeX, sometimes! I decided to give it a try and add a few "extra features" to our chatroom, and the result is presented in this meta thread.
I was planning to implement ...
I'm using the report document class for a thesis, and I need to add things like "Acknowledgements" and an "Introduction". I noticed that there is an \abstract command which would have been wonderful if applied similarly. How do I add these without messing up the chapters' numbering while being pi...
You may add \vspace{-1cm}\vspace*{1cm} in the proper argument of \titleformat -- the two spaces will offset each other except at the top of a page. This is simpler than tohecz's "box" solution and, unlike egreg's solution, will not result in additional vertical space between a \section and a dire...
@tohecz If you use \chaptermark for an unnumbered chapter that succeeds a numbered one, the standard class header will still display the old (now wrong) chapter number.
since you are the author of biblatex style for some physical journals, I'd
like to ask you if you would write a biblatex style for The Astronomical
Journal and The Astrophysical Journal. Here are reference conventions of these
journals: aas.org/journals/authors/common_instruct#references
Thank for your time.

@JosephWright congratulations you won another task ;) i guess as a maintainer of a famous package one has to get used to such emails... I remember briefly that michael niedermayer mentioned such requests when he announced to stop with libertine
@mico I suspect the reason the XeLaTeX versus LuaLaTeX question has been so-far answerless is that most packages which need a UTF-8 engine try to cover both, and those that need Lua clearly need LuaTeX and so people don't even see the issue.
@JasonBourne It was automatically generated. I think from my email address. It used to be black. Then I changed my address. I'd heard rumors you can actually change the thing to something you want.
@JosephWright I got the following e-mail about the he-she package:
in the documentation of your he-she package in section 2 Background (1)
you forgot the possibility
"When a student registers, she receives an ID card."
In my country there are more female than male students, therefore this
option is at least as justified as the other options.
I just implemented lockstep's solution from here, but the content in the list of appendices also gets listed in the toc, which should not be the case. How would one ensure this is avoided? Below is the code I've used. The report class has been used because I want to have chapters in the document....
@AlanMunn I try to. I really, really hate signing copyright over to some journal. I did it once. If I have to do it again, it will feel like pulling teeth.
@FaheemMitha Yes: I'm a member of the RSC and ACS, and have considered joining GDCh too
@AlanMunn Industry
@AlanMunn Industry uses a lot of info but does not lead to a large number of publications. Currently they therefore pay a lot more than they would under a totally open-access model.
@AlanMunn Yes, the open access journals may also be for profit, so also making money off unpaid labor. But they are probably preferable to the proprietary variety.
@FaheemMitha The RSC (Royal Society of Chemistry) makes most of its money from journal publishing, and it's used for things like conferences, policy work, etc.
@JosephWright But doesn't that all go to the publishers anyway? I guess for journals run by professional societies that's a good thing. But for journals published by Springer or whatever, the field doesn't benefit from that.
@AlanMunn Of course it does :-) The point is that under an open access model, academic research pays more of the cost of the publication process, and industry pays less, so we end up subsidising commercial research. I'm particularly thinking of big pharma and the heavy oil business.
Publishing does cost, so it has to be paid for one way or another
@JosephWright Interesting. Was not aware of that. But we all subsidize commercial research anyway. Taxpayer money pays for fundamental research, which is then monetized by corporations. Case in point, computers and the internet.
@JosephWright True. And I agree with this. But then some sort of mixed payment model is required. (In my field, the industry issue is less relevant, but obviously in yours it's a big deal.)
@FaheemMitha :-) ACS = American Chemical Society, GDCH = Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker
@AlanMunn The areas where open access has worked best seem to be those with a small concern about this or those where pre-publication is standard anyway (e.g. physics)
@JosephWright Right. We have a lot of pre-publication as well in linguistics. My advisor once got very annoyed when a journal published a reply to one of his papers before the paper itself had been published by the journal.
@AlanMunn My point really is that some of the discussion you see about open access seems to ignore the fact that there is a reason why 'proper' publication is still about even though we could all simply stick our research on privately-run websites.
@AlanMunn Oops
@AlanMunn I suspect one reason we don't do that is that we have the patent issue: if you get a big result with applications you (or your employer) will want IP protection.
@JosephWright Yes, that's true. Also nothing is truly free, so the costs have to be borne by someone, and lots of the Free{software|publishing|internet| ... } seem to ignore that entirely.
@JosephWright No, I understand that. But if some journals thought it useful to have their styles made in to biblatex styles, they would likely be willing to pay for it.
