@AlanMunn Renoir is not my favorite impressionist. Magritte was a genius. I don't know Genzken, but judging from some image in Google I don't think I'd go to the US for an exhibition. ;-)
I enjoyed visiting the Beaubourg; but the "contemporary art" section is full of rubbish.
@egreg Magritte was certainly a genius. Genzken's stuff is a mixture of more conceptual stuff, and actual art. It was a bit of a mixed bag, some I really liked, and others, meh. But you have to love anyone who creates a work called 'Fuck the Bauhaus'. :)
@PauloCereda Go to Paris at the Orangerie (at the corner of Jardin de Tuileries, next to Place de la Concorde). You'll see “Les nymphées” by Monet and you'll fall in love.
Ja, wenn wir alle Englein wären,

Well, a bit of context first. I need to give my book as a pdf file within the next few hours to my editor and I have some problem with colors. So I'm in a hurry...
In addition, I have tons of standalone figures with patterns. I feel more confortable running a little script on my tex files than relying on an other person doing some black magic with acrobat.
@topskip Basically, I'd like to understand how the whole pattern thing works in pdf. As far as I understand, a kind of pattern structure exists in pdf ? Can you confirm ?
I would keep bugging the publisher if he can convert RGB to CMYK. I don't think the result would be worse than when I do it. Colors are very difficult to handle correctly and, when printed, are highly dependent on the type of paper used.
@topskip Is there any article or qeustion here at TeX.SX which sums up the important things to know (concerning RGB vs. CMYK) when publishing something?
@topskip Well, maybe it's wise for now. But, I think it is still a tikz issue. When giving cmyk option to xcolor, one should not get any rgb coded color in the produced pdf.
@Johannes_B The template he linked to used the reprint option to the document class, which enables two-column typesetting, so I added that. He wants to switch to one-column and back mid-document.
I have a foo.bib file and in my .tex file I have \bibliographystyle{plain} and \bibliography{foo}. I don't see the bibliography in my PDF. What am i doing wrong?
@JosephWright It is strange. I could understand that a person giving many downvotes triggers a bot. However, the upvotes disappear as well and I get no feedback at all...
@JosephWright Which actually, in a sense, shows a problem, because if it's the anti-serial-voting bot, it will very likely start removing serial upvotes, too, which is probably much more frowned upon.
@PauloCereda however, there are cases when it's legitimate. As pointed out in what Joseph linked, voting on many posts of one person in one Q should not be considered as serial voting.
@PauloCereda I remember when a dean of one Law facutly was deprived for selling the degrees, he started his own labour union and became it's head, because according to law, head of a labour union cannot be fired. In a sense, the system that he was corrupting was now protecting him. It's similar here: If a MF post multiple stupid answer, and people down-vote them all, their votes will get reverted, protecting the MF
@PauloCereda However, they simply fired him. It was clear that if he went to a court, the court would say that the litera of the law is not more important than the intention of the law, and just keep him fired.
@JosephWright well, it doesn't sound like a good solution, but it is a solution. However, has Anna Lear seen the bug report yet? Maybe she knows ways to go. Let's wait for 2 days?

I have heard a lot about mystyle.sty. I have following general queries.
1. What are the packages commonly used and included in mystyle.sty
2. Where is the mystyle.sty stored?
3. Can you provide me an example of mystyle sty which help format good headers and footers, help set pdf properties (metad...
@Johannes_B There could be a whole genre of such questions. "My machine doesn't have a <path-to-my-local-texmf>/texmf directory." and "Where can I find mybibliography. etc. :)
@Johannes_B It was posted on alt.religion.kibology, so no. Since you may not have been around during the wild west years of the interwebs, here's the Wikipedia entry for that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibology
@DavidCarlisle I dunno, do as you guys think. IMHO it's an XY problem (he wants \raggedright just doesn't know that), therefore I think that closing as a duplicate is fine.
@tohecz well that's probably true but the difference between \newline \and \linebreak doesn't seem as well known as it could be and this is a good excuse as any to have an answer about that:-)
In my answer to How to write a white paper for a non-academic. I mentioned that I know a true story -- example of such a situation with a "happy end". Now, it was requested that I relieve more information about this, which I originally didn't want to.
What do I know: I know who are the authors, ...
@PauloCereda In just a few minutes! Well, it happened some years ago also here: maybe three hours of snowing and everything was covered with ice because of cold wind. I went off my office at 6pm, and arrived home almost at 4am. When, around 2am it was announced that a train was six hours late, people cheered! There had been no train since 5pm.
@TorbjørnT. ok, and thanks. It seems that _____________________________________________________________________________________________ does the trick for me :)
