@JosephWright tomorrow (village picnic in Major Gray's garden), today apparently we are going to Brackley carnival now (somehow that had slipped my mind until I was reminded this morning:-) was going to answer about constants etc but probably later now.
@ChristianHupfer Honestly, i didn't know those services. I didn't know they exist. All that stuff that came up in the last few years, is a mystery for me.
I'm currently writing my master thesis, and the classicthesis template we're supposed to use is licensed GPLv2+.
As I understand the GPL, this makes my written thesis a derivative work, and would imply that the thesis (both the LaTeX source and the resulting PDF) is also licensed GPLv2/3. As the...
Microsoft Office has templates. Has anyone ever checked under which license those documents have to be released? Who owns them, the author or Microsoft? Even an empty document is a template. It still has a defined format for headings, page number placement, knows how to do headers and footers etc. — PhilipPirripMay 10 at 2:21
@Johannes_B The same argument would apply to PDF files produced by closed source software, which you wouldn't be able to distribute. Or photos, music and whatever.
I've read lots of discussion on shipping commercial products that link against GPLv2/3 libraries, and products that include code from GPLv2/3 software. But I haven't been able to satisfactorily answer my question about shipping a commercial product that uses GPLv2/3 binaries.
Specifically, I'd l...
How do I go about writing like that? I know the fundamentals of LaTeX and how to create documents but how do I get the exact format like that pdf I link? Is there a specific documentclass[]{}?
Cool, many thanks. Another quick q, in the the pdf I link, there is a skipped line each theorem and it's proof. Is that achieved via \\? Or is there a proper way to go newline?
@JesterTran \newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem} in the preamble. Then \begin{theorem}<text>\end{theorem} will automatically produce the number and also the vertical space around the statement.
For the proofs, there's already \begin{proof}<text>\end{proof} (provided you use amsart or load \usepackage{amsthm}).
@barbarabeeton: thanks for the janitorial work in the duck contest! I copied all numbers (sorted by answer date) and updated the TeX code accordingly. Thankfully the code helps us spot the naughty people, and I poked them in the comments. :)
@JesterTran -- amsthm is rather thoroughly documented. if you're using a system based on tex live, you can get at that with texdoc amsthm. (and if you find any errors or omissions, you should let the authors know; the address is in the user guide.)
Is it possible to define a previouspage environment, so that whatever is inside it is output on the previous page?
Motivation: In a two-column document, the only way to get a full-width float to be placed on a given page is to put the float on the previous page. At best this is awkward, because ...
I am still using TL 2015. I get an error from package scrbase because the colon still is acting weird. Does this happen with The recent update of frenchb.ldf?

@Johannes_B well not having read the doc I don't know if french should avoid messing up : or if scrbase should make sure that it is robust in the face of active : (or both:-)
@Johannes_B The babel-french module makes it clear that : is active inside the document; if a package provides a document level interface allowing for : as token separator, it's its duty to be foolproof against Babel shorthands. Well, the same should be said about \cline{1-2} that doesn't work with babel-czech… ;-)
However, it's not really the same thing: the syntax for \cline predates babel-czech and is in the kernel, so it should be a duty of babel-czech to behave.
@Johannes_B The choice of geometry is to do paper={100mm,200mm}
{ 0) there is a tex file 2) it is modified by a program 3) < i run some command to re-generate the output of the tex file > 4) tex file output is displayed } -- all the stuff within the curly brackets is continuously run as a loop
what should the commands in 3) be? i remember looking this up a while ago, and finding some stuff, but i am totally forgetting what the right "keywords" are...
oh, and in step 4), what I mean is that the output is as some sort of image file, which can then be displayed however one needs
Obviously undefined? \jhzsweiurziuewzriuewzritewt is my favorite name for marking up spectral sequences; it has thirteen mandatory arguments and fourteen optional ones, just to keep the syntax at the bare minimum. ;-) — egreg32 secs ago
