@JosephWright Got one, and replied. I guess the pertinent bits of my reply were: Don't flood us with irrelevant content, so if there's to be some sharing make it so that we can approve shares (at both ends), and don't - whatever they do - allow voting on posts or comments.
@JosephWright I can see some benefits to sharing, but not automatic sharing. As a positive example, my "I TeX therefore iPad" post could have been cross-posted with the apple crowd. But random acts of sharing make me shudder.
For anyone curious about my latest retagging spree: I checked the "new tags" in the 10k-tools, and it turned out that one user had created a large number of redundant tags, e.g. vector-graphics (there's already diagrams) and lstset (listings should suffice).
The following should do the trick. You can compute values and assign them to macros.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\foreach \x in {1,2,3} {
\coordinate (V\x) at ($(\x-1,0)$);
}
\foreach \x [evaluate=\x as ...

I've browsed the forums and found a number of posts that have addressed this issue, but none of the solutions seem to work for me.

@JosephWright I don't think I have the necessary permissions to add this link to the closed question - at least not the box at the top - can you do that?
@leo I was having a look at the automation question about the exclude questions used in previous years. I've got a sample file for probsoln that will do that called sample-exclude.tex but I'm not sure if it made its way onto CTAN. If you're interested I'll look it up.
I would use two different fonts in math mode. My personal aim is to reach the results showed in the following picture (I took it from an italian website). In this picture, computer modern sans serif is used (in math mode, only in "Definizione" and "Esempi" environment), instead the text font, tha...
Someone is going to suggest a tikz box with multicoloured translucent rounded corners, but before they do I'll observe that \boxed is a thin wrapper around \fbox so you can use
\setlength\fboxsep{...}
to set the padding inside the box and
\setlength\fboxrule{...}
to set the line thickness.
has legitately been closed as a duplicate. I had answered this and the user wants to add some summary - see the final comment. How is this best acheived?
@AndrewSwann I suppose in theory the answer should go on the unclosed duplicate, but rephrasing it in that context might be more than OP wants to do, could just edit the question I suppose...
@NicolaTalbot Hearty Congratulation madam, I have read your earlier document on phd thesis writing in latex, there is none available to help a novice and especially for a phd. I am really gratefull to you

The TeX.SX question (my interpretation)
Two years ago this question was asked. The title is "Use a quality glossary and acronym list in LyX". First the OP refers to Q&A on how to write a glossary and acronym list i...
Does search on the site only search for tags? I thought it was full text. But a search for "gender" yields nothing, yet doing the same in Google yields a bunch of questions. It seemed similar searches worked before.
@PeterGrill possibly because it wasn't as correct as it could have been \fontseries{\seriesdefault}\selectfont sets the series to n which is what you want \seriesdefault\selectfont typesets n then sets the font to whatever it currently is, which is perhaps not so useful.
Hi basically I am a newbie to this software, just getting the hang of the basics but I found that all the commands are in american english. Is there something I can use, download or one of these 'package' things that can change this for me?
@DavidCarlisle Ah, yes. I forgot about that. I'm so used to both spellings. In my code comments and documentation I have stuff like "the command \barcolor sets the colour of the bar." :)
@DavidCarlisle Found the \protect issue (was also applying your fix as a parameter to description. But after fixing that, it seems as both versions had no effect. But have decided to define a * version of my environment instead so I don't need that "inverse" functionality... But, if you think it is useful to others I can certainly post a question as I have the MWE ready.
@Werner: Your answer is not useless. It answers the question that should really have been asked (how to get the label to fit) and furthermore fixes the math spacing.. I'd recommend undeleting it. I didn't post the flalign as it still has a issue with math spacing...
@PeterGrill Thanks; I've question the OP's intent with the spaces, since "it don't look nice." :)
@PeterGrill ...and the OP's comment makes it clear that I don't know what I'm doing:
Because this should model the guard notation of programming languages like Haskell and the right = has a different meaning then the left. It's basically a case environment in reverse. — neo1 min ago
@DavidCarlisle Oppss, the supposed "protect" problem was coming from the fact that the \NotBoldItems was also be passed as \begin{description}[\NotBoldItems] (dues to how the parameter was begin passsed). Once I fixed that then it compiled, but the macros had no effect. Output was still in bold.
@percusse Oh oh, it may not be as earth shattering as you think.. Most of my questions are due to my own ways of thinking and organizing things.. There might be easier ways, but I don't know them, so I come up with my own...
@percusse well I am telling everyone that the first app is coming out in 2013 (I need a deadline so now I have one). There is other stuff in the works that will definitely not make it out this year, so am hoping that is done in 2014 sometime... Hmmm, I guess this would be a good place to ask for beta testers. That way not only could OI get feedback on math, but also the typography.. Of course I need to start including the \iftoggle{egregmode} soon... :-)
@DavidCarlisle Haven't made any final decision yet -- focusing on iOS for now, but the app part is separate from the content. Might do both in parallel if I can find the right person, but otherwise android will come after iOS.
The Stack Exchange Data Explorer (SEDE) is now updated on a weekly basis. It would be nice if all of that public data was made accessible off-line on a regular and consistent basis. The SEDE says that the release occurs every three months, but the last release was in August 2012 (almost four mont...
@Werner I haven't tested on other sites. It's tricky, because some searches do come up, so it's not obvious how to find words to test with. I looked for words that I knew weren't tags, but I also knew were in the list of questions or answers.
@AlanMunn I tried user:me (which yields all posts; answers + questions) and verified this in my profile on TeX.SE (which doesn't work) and on Meta.SO/SO (which worked).
@PauloCereda Well I have managed to stay away pretty much. Every so often I look in and get annoyed at the answers and feel obliged to throw in my linguist's 2¢, which is generally not appreciated.
@tohecz True. It's tricky to decide things like that; 'pal' I think is on its way out independent of its formality. I don't have much intuition about that.
Hi everyone - I've just seen the announcement at Electronics SX that CircuitLabs (an online circuit schematic designer) is now integrated into their site. A precedent for an online LaTeX compiler (e.g. writeLaTeX) to be integrated into TeX SX? I'm one of the devs at writeLaTeX, and would welcome a discussion with one of the TeX SX devs on how we could work together to make this a reality.
So on Electronics SX, there's now a way to open circuit labs, work up a schematic, and post back into a SX answer. As recently demonstrated on LaTeX-Community.org, it would be possible to have an "Open in writeLaTeX" button on a code box, so that code examples can be edited, and the corrected/enhanced code posted as an answer
@tohecz - so one way this could work is if someone posts code that doesn't work as a question, an expert can easily open that code in an online LaTeX editor to work out what is wrong and correct it, then post the solution as a new answer (with screenshot)
@JoeCorneli you have to consider many things, that make me be against such a thing. It's useful for answers mostly, and everyone who posts answers should be able to generate an image of it himself.
@JoeCorneli which means that the TeX.SE editor design will feature it? No, nothing I would like to have. Still, I don't represent the community ;) So my first question is: will I be allowed to opt it out completely?
My 2¢: I think a nice meta post could be written about proposing the integration of writeLaTeX to the TeX.sx community. I think it's a nice way of letting the community speak for itself and give feedback on what to go from now on.
I think we could get a useful addition, requiring only few work and without a security risk to our site, which is always to consider for online compilers.
