@PauloCereda I'm not sure the apostles' scribes were terribly concerned about that at the time! I think it went more along the lines of 'shoot, shoot! slow down!'
But when they took their time, man... The Good News never looked so.... good.
@SeanAllred The majority goes Word + MathType (I can't remember the correct name of that paid plugin), but there are some guys who use LibreOffice/Writer instead. :) And there's one dude I know who uses [iWork] Pages. :)
@SeanAllred For me, LaTeX is the winning horse by a large distance, no doubt. :)
@PauloCereda I've used MathType (yes, it's that, and they haven't stopped sending me emails since) and I've got to say --- it made mathematics more difficult.
And oh absolutely.
TeX's syntax, inherently allowing the interleaving of text and maths is, I presume, one of the reasons I like it so much.
@PauloCereda So insanely fast. With MathType, it was very difficult to see which object I was actually adjacent to / which object I was about to give a super or subscript to. While I always had the finished product right in front of me, it just seemed harder :/
By block, I tried to add the explanantion column for p_1, p_2,...,p_7
This is the output of the latter but now I want to add there the explanantion column:
like this $p_1,...,p_n$ and the explanantion row $t_1,..., t_{2^n}$ but for some reason the code above with blockarray-block is not getting working, why?
Ps. the last image code works with blockarray-block but the other not, irritating.
I'm trying to define two commands \bal and \eal instead of inserting \begin{align} and \end{align} in my document, but in the code below, I'll get some errors. What is wrong with it?

\makeatletter
\newcommand{\bal}{%

\@ifstar{...
In a discussion on why subsubsections are evil, egreg comments:
If you have subsubsections, you must have at least two of them in a subsection; you must have at least two subsections and, of course, at least two sections. Draw the tree and you'll understand.

@tohecz Good answer; but it's privilege, not priviledge; it's a common spelling error; I can't fail this one because it's from Latin privilegium and in Italian it's privilegio (with a slight different meaning).
Oh bother. I just starred that comment by tohecz because to me it reads "Werner doesn't seem to happen". But the starred comment just reads "doesn't seem to happen". Not what I intended.
Basically I'm using LaTeX to organize my sheet music. Each piece of music is a subsection, which shows up in the ToC.
What I would like to do is assign a category to each piece of music and then organize these categories in a "List of Categories" at the front of the document much like the "List ...
Do you think this can be done with LaTeX sequences as a one-pass solution?
My only concern is the sorting
OP wants to be able to declare different levels of difficulty for each section, and then be able to categorize them by that difficulty at the end as another indexer.
Anyone want to help me figure out a basic issue with a figure?
I've used :
\begin{figure}[here]
\centering
\fbox{\includegraphics[width=4in]{samplepiechart}}
\caption{A pie chart showing the three partitions found on this HDD and the large amount of unpartitioned space.}
\label{fig:partitions}
\end{figure}
first problem, despite specifying 'here', it puts the figure elsewhere
The conversion of `` to a double-open quote is a font ligature. This is 'build in' to standard TeX fonts, but with fontspec you have to request it. Same for -- to an en-dash, etc.

I would like to add the word "page" or "pages" in the Glossary. The following is the code. At the end of each entry for Glossary, there is a page number. But I would like it to display like: (page 1), or (pages 1-4), or (pages 1, 2). Also, how to enlarge the space between the abbreviation and des...
I have two tables (A and B), both with a string valued column and an integer valued column. What i would like to actually have is a sorted table B sorted by the values of table A. The crucial point is that the rows are identified by the string value, not the index, and that B does not contain all...
I have only tried Nicola's datagidx but unfortunately it was choked for my long document for some reason even with Lua so I don't know
Xindy doesn't have any problems
And if only this feature was in it would be perfect in datagidx; from it's manual
The only type of sorting available is letter sorting. If you want word sorting
you'll need to use makeindex or xindy. So \sea lion" comes after \seal".
The default sort is case-insensitive so kite before Knuth and Knuth before
koala.
@Dan as I say latex lists have loads of parameters and can format in different ways: the document markup shouldn't change though. (and it's gone midnight so I'm not re-parametrising the layout now:-)
