Hi all: how might I convert a triple of three real numbers into an array, or otherwise treat it as such. I can go from an array to a triple as:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{asymptote}
\begin{document}
\begin{asy}
triple[] p;
real[] b={1,2,3};
triple totriple(...
@Speravir They might rethink about it. It's a pretty central tool and we had a few questions about it. I can't speak on behalf of the community but I don't know what is on-topic if that's off-topic.
@Speravir I mean I don't understand why Asymptote is off-topic. What makes it suddenly off-topic which was quite a common topic in many Metapost questions? There are certainly more esoteric items if we start excluding. Asymptote uses TeX for typesetting anyways. I would never consider it off-topic and I don't know how that conclusion can be justified.
I asked a question about Asymptote which was closed as off topic.
Asymptote: convert triple to array
I believe it fits within the scope of the site in much the same way a pure metapost question would. There have been both pure metapost and pure asymptote questions asked and answered, none of w...
@percusse Oh, very fresh. And yes, the review system provokes it, but I can say, that I usualyy take some looks first (so, that sometimes I after giving my vote get a message, that the decision already was made).
Just to stir up the soup. I agree with Alan Munn on this issue but with a slightly different motivation. I'm actually quite bothered by the word swiftly. I don't mind if the question stays open or closed, either way the issue is not resolved so no need to insist on practice because next year it w...

I have trouble installing Claus Gerhardt Flashmode on my new Mac (Mac mini + Lion 10.8.2).
I use TeXShop.
Flashmode 7.0.2 does not work at all. (It worked fine with my old Mac, 10.6.8)
Instead, Flashmode 6.1.0 works under 10.8.2.
By the way, the synchronisation on both Flashmode is lousy or...
@Speravir I don't know! I posted that link for the following reason: there is a banner below the one-line answer soliciting contributions and some prescription for the kind of contribution the community is looking forward to. That is really impressive, isn't it?
@Speravir Oh, I thought the SX had a script running based on the review system. But, I am not sure. Anyway, then, of what use is the review system, if moderators still have to do these things?
(I mean, this should be hectic for a site like SO.)
@kan Yepp. @JosephWright or @StefanKottwitz Below the answer to Flashmode and OS X Mountain Lion there is a box. Is this added automatically or by one of you mods? If automatically do you know the trigger count?
@kan I did not flag this one. i think it was decided to leave as it is for the type of Q. in my view may be OP should have added extra knowledge/background for feeding others.
@JosephWright: Does LaTeX3 define constant dimension? Something like \dim_const:Nn \c_one_pt_dim { 1~pt }. I searched and couldn't find any definitions.
In fact, i think chinatour.com is a professional and cheap China travel agent.They also offer excellent China travel service to other tourist areas, such as Beijing, Xian, Guilin, Yangtze River and Lhasa. They can also accept the custom travel route.They also have some cheap package tours for tra...
I present here a solution that uses subfig package. This answer does not meet all the demands, I am still playing around with the code:

@egreg I know how to modify and get to a stage where I have (a) and (b) but I don't know how to put these two figure environments together and then have a Figure label for it.
i want to position a flowfram-box dynamically on the same page as the caption. So that the box is allways next to the a certain heading as the document is growing.
In my following example the boxes are layong on top of each other on the second page.
How can I position the boxes only one time ne...
@JosephWright I am using l3keys in the following file. At the end of the definition I want to save all my keys in a separate list/seq to call them later. Related to this request I want to implement such a feature: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/41?m=9178775#9178775
@PauloCereda It looks great! My only niggle is that the centre page has been folded very slightly off so on page 15 you can see a sliver of the picture from page 18. But it's good enough.
@PauloCereda I'll be seeing Magdalene tomorrow. (She has some paintings on display at a local art exhibition, so I'm going along to have a look at them.) If she can't find any problems with the proof, I'll okay the book and order a block. (I'm in the process of creating an online store for my website since amazon is charging more than the rrp for the other children's book.)
@MarcoDaniel OK, I can imagine doing this such that for each key family there is a property list. However, if you want to set keys then just a tl is more sensible. I'll give it a bit of thought.
@NicolaTalbot There is a problem with glossaries: if used with XeLaTeX makeglossaries doesn't pick up the UTF-8 encoding for Xindy, but it uses Latin-9.
So this is supposed to be really simple, and it's taken from the following picture:

If you look at the .glo package, it's written out in different ways when the "other languages" are loaded.
Without the "other languages"

If I have a talk named "Blabla" and I want to write in the abstract: "We will talk about the article Blabla by John Doe", how can I do so without repeating "Blabla" ?
@NicolaTalbot There might be problems for document using other encodings along with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX (which is not recommended anyway). In those cases one can specify directly the code page (so \gls@codepage wouldn't be \@empty).
\begin{tikzpicture}[decoration={brace,mirror}]
\node (t) at (0,0) {text here};
\begin{scope}[shift={(2,0)}]
\foreach \x in {1,...,3}\node (t\x) at (0,2-\x) {- Some text \x};
\end{scope}
\begin{scope}[shift={([xshift=1cm]t1.east)}]
\foreach \x in {1,...,3}\node (tt\x) at (0,2-\x) {- text 1.\x};
\end{scope}
\foreach \x in {t,tt}\draw[decorate] (\x 1.north west) -- (\x 3.south west);
\end{tikzpicture}
I had to keep myself from posting another hand-drawn answer :)
@MarioS.E. TikZ picture doesn't understand the surrounding scale so you need to add [scale = 0.5, transform shape] to the tikzpicture to scale everyting.
I get an error with this code: \begin{figure} \begin{displaymath} \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{XX} A lot of text that is going to be written in here but I'm writing just to fill it & \left\{% \begin{tabular}{c} Text 1\\ Text 2\\ Text 3\\ \end{tabular}\right\\ \end{tabularx} \end{displaymath} \caption{Project diagram} \end{figure}
So long I have received three answers: One using the displaymath environment, another using tikz and a few minutes ago @egreg suggested me to use tabulars. So far, I'm liking egreg's answer the most
@m0nhawk the displaymath is centering the table and giving the same vertical spacing as other display math, it doesn't affect the contents of the table.
\begin{figure} \begin{displaymath} \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{XX} A lot of text that is going to be written in here but I'm writing just to fill it & $\left\{% \begin{tabular}{cc} Text 1 & $\left\{% \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{X} Text 1.1\\ Text 1.2\\ Text 1.3\\ \end{tabularx}\right.$\\ Text 2 & \\ Text 3 & \\ \end{tabular}\right.$\\ \end{tabularx} \end{displaymath} \caption{Project diagram} \end{figure}
If I change any of the tabulars inside the first tabularx I get errors
well that isn't going to fit: $\left\{\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{ you made the inner table as wide as teh outer cell and then tried to squeeze in a {
OK, look at this code (it still gives me an error): \begin{figure} \centering \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{XX} A lot of text that is going to be written in here but I'm writing just to fill it & $\left\{% \begin{tabularx}{}{XX} Text 1 & $\left\{% \begin{tabularx}{}{X} Text 1.1\\ Text 1.2\\ Text 1.3\\ \end{tabularx}\right.$\\ Text 2 & \\ Text 3 & \\ \end{tabularx}\right.$\\ \end{tabularx} \caption{Project diagram} \end{figure}
@DavidCarlisle I have 110 errors, which all read: " Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.
Here is my latest code:
\begin{figure} \centering \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{XX} A lot of text that is going to be written in here but I'm writing just to fill it & $\left\{% \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{XX} Text 1 & $\left\{% \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{X} Text 1.1\\ Text 1.2\\ Text 1.3\\ \end{tabularx}\right.$\\ Text 2 & \\ Text 3 & \\ \end{tabularx}\right.$\\ \end{tabularx} \caption{Project diagram} \end{figure}
@MarioS.E. well it can't be \linewidth that is too wide. because you have to fit in the text 1 first column and \{ in the second column and the inner tx just has the remaining space.
@MarioS.E. No ignore that number. That is just 1 error (usually) If you carry on after the first error you just get rubbish typically in TeX. It's error correction is not great.
@DavidCarlisle I don't know yet, but could be... I don't know how much text I'm going to put inside them, but I'm afraid if I don't get this to run smoothly in every case I'll end up having some major issues upfront
@DavidCarlisle Try running this, for example:
\begin{figure} \centering \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{XX} A lot of text that is going to be written in here but I'm writing just to fill it & $\left\{% \begin{tabular}{cc} I'll probably write also a lot of text in this part, so I would really like it to be wrapped & $\left\{% \begin{tabular}{c} Text 1.1\\ Text 1.2\\ Text 1.3\\ \end{tabular}\right.$\\ Text 2 & \\ Text 3 & \\ \end{tabular}\right.$\\ \end{tabularx} \caption{Project diagram} \end{figure}
So, I can wrap the second column with p, I guess...
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array,calc}
\begin{document}
\noindent
\begin{tabular}{@{}m{.5\textwidth-\tabcolsep}l@{}}
A lot of text that is going to be written in here
but I'm writing just to fill it &
$\left\{
\begin{tabular}{@{}*{2}{l}@{}}
Text 1 &
$\left\{%
\begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
Text 1.1\\
Text 1.2\\
Text 1.3\\
\end{tabular}\right.$\\
Text 2 & \\
Text 3 & \\
\end{tabular}\right.$\\
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
@egreg I just tried that but TY doesn't seem too happy to be nested. I'm going off line anyway or do it all in one table with blkarray if @MarioS.E. is feeling brave...
Hmmmmmm so, the thing is I want everything to fit on my \textwidth, regardless of how many subdivisions I have (of course I'm not mad and I won't use more than 4-5)
@DavidCarlisle blkarray? Is that like the three headed monster?
@MarioS.E. No, I think you need to make a design spec. Text in TeX is either single line set to natural width (tabular lrc columns, \mbox etc) or multi-line with lines broken to a predetermined width, \parbox. So if you want linebreaking you need some way of distributing the width to the p columns. For example if you have three levels you might just want to give 1/3 of the total width to each level or you might want higher levels to have more text or....
@MarioS.E. no-space. Normally tex pads each column with \tabcolsep on either side but if you use @{xxx} it doesn't add the tabcolsep space and adds xxx instead.
@MarioS.E. what seems Ok? you won't see any difference unless you have something either side of the table, if you \re just \centering it you can not tell if there is 6pt of space on either side of the table.
@DominicMichaelis He has never used LaTeX, doesn't like computers much and was very happy with Word. All attempts to convert him have apparently failed, but more and more of his grad students are moving to it.
@DominicMichaelis Also the fact that Word is even worse at positioning figures then LaTeX is helps. I mean, it shouldn't be, given Word is GUI based, yet somehow it is
@MarcoDaniel There's no provision in LaTeX3 for patching macros, at least at the moment. But, of course, \xpretocmd{\begin}{<whatever>}{}{} does the trick.
@MarcoDaniel And since \begin is defined as a simple macro, \LetLtxMacro is not needed.
@NicolaTalbot Cool! :) It's a nice language, I used to write some webapps with it. :) Just don't mix LaTeX math mode, I used to forget my $'s when writing code. :)
