@ChristianHupfer No template huning yesterday. Lisening to some music.
@ChristianHupfer Heard the winner of Eurovision song contest from 2012 (?), Loreen wih Euphoria. The song is good on first thought. My second thought was "Sounds like regular eurodance"
What should I do to get rid of the first blank page before the title page? The code of the file is as follows.

I installed the full version of TexLive 2015 on my new Mac OS/X El Capitan system but get font errors trying to typeset the following file:

For any 'plain' XeTeX or LuaTeX experts. Using xelatex and fontspec, it works out of the box (with \setmainfont for example)
By the way: Can anybody upvote the answers by Zarko and Rmano here: I've provided a far more less sophisticated solution than those guys but got twice the upvotes ... this is weird: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/284565/…
@cfr I had a doubt with forest, but I managed to find the answer when browsing the manual. :) I wanted to enclose a subtree in a block, then I found fit to tree using the fit library. :)
@PauloCereda A typical form of misinterpretation (quite frequent for ducks :-P) No, presents are gifted on Dec 24 only, unless there's some family reunion on the holidays.
@ChristianHupfer It's a bank holiday, so this year we get Monday for it (the same is not true when Christmas Day falls on a weekend, as it's not a bank holiday)
@Johannes_B Currently, large shops are required by law to be closed on Easter Day (ironically since we legalised trade on Sundays generally): it's not popular and I think will go within a decade
@JosephWright I have XCode and I need to update it. Sadly, Apple decided to make all products only available via App Store, so I cannot download a .dmg anymore.
Do we have a generic You need to encolse the bibtex fields with braces question? Question marks instead of cit. numbers also mentions it, but it doesn't feel like a good candidate.
Again folks, please upvote the other answers to this question here -- I am a TikZ - Newbie and got more upvotes than the expert ones, this is weird, actually!
I am trying to draw this kind of hierarchy in LaTeX but I am not able to do it using ellipse or any other shapes using TikZ. Can anyone suggest me how it can be drawn?
@Johannes_B this thesis thing won't go out of my head. Especially the special needs every university has, titlepage and stuff. Wouldn't it be awesome to use a combination of a general thesis class with some template options and load title pages and load local requirements via packages?
@Rico That should be the general idea. In my point o view, everything you need for a thesis is provided by report and/or book (or memoir, KOMA clases). So what does a general thesis class need?
In my pov, every university will need another title page, which can be implemented the very same way (putting LEGO bricks togehter). A bit of margin stuff, line spacing, header foooter, maybe customizing sectional commands. All this is layout/style and the author shouldn't think about that.
@Johannes_B depends on the purpose. This is what makes it so difficult. e.g. geometry matter. Are you writing your thesis in germany or else. report or srcrprt?
@Rico You can load 37 million small packages to CTAN that define title pages and line spacing for the universities. Or provide a simple enough and non-scary interace.
@Rico It doesn't matter which language when choosing the class. Both do the same. KOMA provides a bit more options.
@Johannes_B so why not base it on KOMA? Provide a maximum of 3 templates like, minimal, normal, fancy. load titlepages per package. so by using 3 to 4 options one could start writing
@Rico Many solutions on site don't work with a KOMA class. And the other way around. A beginner will be very confused. The KOMA manual is hundreds o pages long.
@Rico Something many users need, is the addchap feature. That would have to be explained, but is already covered in the KOMA manual, since this is the place that introduces it.
Don't get me wrong, I totally understand how hard of a task this is. In my opinion a class can be as complex as possible if it is useable with the absolute minimum of configuration.
@Rico I just opened the ebook. Providing a template, who decides on the file structure? Some like it flat, others recommend a very deep hierarchy. On which terms should an author choose a theorem package, or a skmath over physics and vice versa. Using acro or glossaries? Which way to get a bibliography? There is just too much to considder, especialy since the loading order of packages is important. The result is a huge clutter of commented code that falls onto the new user.
@Johannes_B right. this will always be a problem. It could be an attempt to establish a standard.
@Johannes_B problems like file structure lies in the hand of the author. One could explain both and show possible problems but the final decision has to be made by the one who is writing. By programming defensively we as the programmers could take a lot of work from the write by making it harder for us.
Like everything in programming, it takes a lot of effort for the programmers. It doesn't matter how much effort on puts in there, people will complain anyways...
I am new to LaTex, though I wrote three research papers in LaTex with the help of this forum. Thanks to all users, who answered my queries. I found LaTex very interesting and am motivated to write my Ph. D thesis in LaTex. However, there are a number of templates available and I am slightly confu...
I read that I can use \int_a^b or \int\limits_a^b. With \limits, the equation looks more compact horizontally, but a little bigger vertically.
Is there some design rule to it, or just personal preference?
@egreg Do you know any good resources for learning about the internals of the TeX engine? I had a look at texdoc tex and I doesn't look very, well, instructive.
@egreg The background info to my request is, that my bug report for this was ignored on the XeTeX mailing list, which means that I have to fix it on my own.
I created my desired document using the exam environment. I have questions and solutions. One the first pages I have my questions, and on the last pages I have the solutions using the command \SolutionsAtEnd. What I want to know is how do I edit the "solution" environment so that I have my Soluti...
Mac users: has anyone seen this? (image one message below) Instead of a dot below the Firefox icon in my dock, I have an extra version of the icon, as if Firefox were an application not usually in my dock, even though it is.
@ChristianHupfer That is the original code from the original question. The OP talked about double integrals, but provided a triple. Solution is the same.
I am using the document class revtex4, and packages graphicx and subfig (with option caption=false). I want to make a figure with two subfigures. While I would ideally like to have captions for the subfigures, at the least I want the subfigures to have separate labels that I can refer to. But if ...
Do you guys know if there's a way to typeset pages in Latex so that I can view many small ones? I want to post the output in an answer, but it's 3 A4 full pages and I don't know how lol :D
I have answered a question where the result of my example code is 3 pages. Usually with Tikz I only post a small screenshot, but in this case I wanted to show the three pages, resized, as a single small image. I don't know how eheh
Let our first step is to prepare such a book (book.tex).

@AlanMunn Thanks for the help. It wasn't something very urgent or critical, so don't lose sleep over it. I was just wondering if others had methods to do it, because I didn't. :D
The Eve afternoon service was fun, with a saxophone (that's really loud, if you didn't know). Then I was at a midnight Catholic service at my friend's church and visited his house and family for about an hour afterwards. This morning a standard service; a lot of friends with families came, including my sister with family :)
and we had a large reunion 2 weeks ago :) We just visit an aunt on Monday
but let me express a hearty thank-you to all the experts on this site
(we've got a shell script to fill in the template with data from LDAP, that's the --fieldname-- and repeat stuff about)
this one fits pictures with captions onto a Tabloid Extra size page (or ISO A3, if one crops the heading and the extra margins) and scales them so they all always fit onto one page (pictures are 3:4 in LDAP), calculating the sizes and amount to use
also, some excurse into absolute positioning (also scary)
