@PeterGrill half the size of a word (it says:-) (I don't think it's changeable without recompiling, and probably code changes) but I'm out of my depth (and it's late at night:-)
@PeterGrill They are integer parameters: just set \tracingstats2 anywheer and you get information about menroy usage every page shipout rather than at the end (which is \tracingstats1)
@PeterGrill that is tex.web (ie the original source of tex the program) where it prints out that stack positions line and the number it puts next to s is its save_size variable
@egreg I am using the both of those commands, any idea why that might still be happening?. Even more strange, when i remove the \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}, and just keep \uspackage{lmodern}it seems to work fine
I wonder why I noticed many do not think large and deeply nested TOC is a good idea. For me, it is a very good thing. Because it allows one to see, in one place, everything in the book. Better than having to go to each section and see a small TOC there, then find out what they want is not there, go back and go to next section and so on. What Am I missing?
I like the TOC to go all the way from part to subsubsubsection.
@egreg Well, not really. But this is not the same. is it? Having a small TOC will give one the 5,000 miles high view of the book, but what if one wants to see more details? I like when I open a book to read its TOC to find what is inside. A more detailed TOC tells me more information. I think Latex needs a new \maketableofcontents option. So one can make a mini TOC (for the managers) and detailed TOC for the technical people to use.
The awkward moment when you see a question that reads Can we make love to LaTeX? and the next instance when you read it properly hence getting confused whether you are dirty or the question title...
Was texwelt.de separately built from stackexchange network because its proposal (to create tex.sx in German language under stackexchange network) has no enough users who make a commitment as active members?
@Alenanno It's not quite clear what Sverre is after. It seems that he's not content with something in the solution, but it's quite too long for a comment. Any ideas, @JosephWright ?
@tohecz I know what it is, he asked for something where you can manually set the position of the mother node. But that was not in his original question. He added that later. I told him this in a comment as well.
@Alenanno well, I'm certainly not going to revert it and I don't know if anything can be done with it. Sometimes it happens that the idea of the OP is different than the idea of the answer he recieves...
@JosephWright I've noticed a number of journals put the DOI in the .bib file as "http://dx.doi.org/<DOI>". While wrong this means I have to hand edit the bib file. Is there a chance you could add code to detect this and correct for it by linking to the URL they give instead of blindly linking to "http://dx.doi.org/dx.doi.org/<DOI>"?
@Marienplatz texwelt.de was founded because we like the Stack Exchange way very much, and sadly a German SE version wasn't accepted. SE is commercial and thinks in business. I don't think so, so I just pay the server and loose the money, that's fine. :-)
@Marienplatz The way it grows, is fine: TeX has staying power and a long breath. No need for high traffic as here: duplicates will come soon enough ;-)
@AlanMunn I tried to use it for an answer the other day, I marked two spots but I couldn't get tikz to draw a line between them, the syntax appears not to be learn-able by osmosis.
@Marienplatz It just feels good to read and write in native language. And to not have a burden of rules and restrictions, which originate from a crowded site such as SO.
@DavidCarlisle Yes, I agree. That's why I prefer my version, which although simpler, is a bit more intuitive. I just adapted a version similar to what I had previously used with pstricks and didn't know about Andrew's version until later.
@StefanKottwitz, we're just doing an initial study to see if it helps with student engagement, might customize it with more gamification type features when time allows.
Texshop (Tex Live 2013) does not update from version 3.23 on Mavericks OS... "Update Error! An error ocurred in retrieving update information. Please try again later."
Any hints? Tex Live (2013) Utility is ok.
Also, problems with fink... "fink selfupdate" returns "We don't support upgrade from 10.8 to 10.9, Check the 'Clean Upgrade' section... of INSTALL for information about how to proceed."
@Papiro On the TeXShop issue, just download a new version from the TeXShop web page. This was a known issue with the automatic update and Mavericks. As for fink, it seems like you need also to reinstall a new version of it.
@Werner not the unboxing, the boxing. It's a bad premature optimisation in tex-the-program to save a few bytes that mattered in 1979: in inner horizontal mode tex doesn't add the penalty and language nodes used in linebreaking/hyphenation as hboxes don't break, but of course they can be unboxed...
