Hello @ all, a question to all 10k+ users: Is there a deleted answer in Why is unskip not working here? Heiko Oberdiek refers to an answer I cannot see. The sentence should be rewritten IMHO.
@egreg I changed the regarding sentence by adding a bit information. It’s not that good, but I did not want to delete Heiko’s reference to this answer. This should be done by himself IMHO.
With Emacs+AUCTeX, I was able to select text (with the shortcut CTRL+SPACE) and, then, format this text. For example, it was possible to select a sentence (the text is highlighted) and to press C-c C-e in order to put this text inside a center environment.
My problem is I cannot do this today. E...
@egreg I suppose since lots of people fall asleep watching cricket, it makes sense to hold the matches at night. Not sure the ball colour makes much difference in those circumstances.
@PauloCereda Yes. A colleague of mine once presented the proof that all points of the plane are collinear; he called it "Fish's theorem" and he did that on April 1.

As an easy corollary of Fish's theorem, all conics are degenerate.
I'm surprised: I was writing a comment where I cited a topic. The url was not translated automatically to a link with (as title) the title of the question of the topic.
In questions, links get converted into question titles (see Replace trilogy raw links with the current question title?)
Can the same functionality be added to comments?
I really like the fact that when I add a URL form tex.SX in the question, this is automatically displayed with just the title of the question. It would be nice to have this also done in comments, as it is a lot more information to have the title there as opposed to the URL which often is truncate...
On this question about creating complicated tables, I wanted to award a +100 bounty on this answer by user47919 involving the tap package.
In my haste, I accidentally awarded it to David Carlisle's answer instead. (I did read the warning about making sure it was the correct answer to award it to...
@Werner yes I flagged the original comment below my answer as I thought the mods would be able to handle it. If The sx team don't move the bounty I'll award one (first time for everything:-)
@PauloCereda I should award the bounty so I don't gain from the error, then you should award a bounty of 10x that to me to reward my fair play. Does that sound like a good plan?
I have been browsing the available TeX.SE as well as external resources regarding particularly XeLaTeX, microtype and popular cases of choice between two virtually equally good alternatives such as KOMA vs. memoir or babel vs. polyglossia and found that they were pretty outdated… or were they?

hey guys, I found a solution to my question, which is imho better than the recommended ones. Should I respond on my question and accept it as the right answer? :-) Seems weird.
Or maybe just respond and wait for the possible reactions?
@PauloCereda I think the OP wants to put all arara rules directives into an own file, let’s call it arara-rules.texarara-directives.tex and then reuse this tex file by inputting it in the beginning of all actual tex files.
@DavidCarlisle YES!!!11 That's the right solution. ;-) @PauloCereda could you … (To be serious: I made a break of several months, but have since earned reputation much faster. I wonder why, but given the speed will be the same I should in 3 monts or so reach the 10K level.)
for symmetry reasons in a large table I want the scientific format with 2 digits (i.e. e+08). By default it suppresses the 0.
Here is what I do:
\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[htbp]

@JosephWright @DavidCarlisle then could either of you look a Chris' concern about incorrectly statements around xparse and direction? Sorry, I'm still hung up in work for HP
@FrankMittelbach My feeling is to drop the statement entirely at the moment: I'm not really sure Chris is right but we could be a long time discussing and need to release some news!
@FrankMittelbach Well, you said that to test for LaTeX2e you needed to be more careful than the current scripts I put together for LaTeX3, so I wondered if there is something to do in the LaTeX3 SVN on this
@JosephWright couple of examples: how do you ensure that you only zip together the files that you are supposed to distribute? (the clean goal isn't really of help here as it will not kill extra files with the right extension etc)
in the original make files we had a proper list of files that should end up in the distrib dir and that was actually verified (not too many an no missing) ... but this is long gone with cons
worse all my emacs backup files ended in my first attempt :-)
@JosephWright but to answer more generally, on the whole I think the L3 scripts are fine
@FrankMittelbach I guess I have a different philosophy: clean should remove any extracted files, ctan should take those which are know to be sources plus those of extracted type and so clean ctan can only pick up files which are sources or extracted from sources, so sources rather than script determines what is distributed
@FrankMittelbach Hopefully we can move to a Lua solution at some point (looks at @PauloCereda) :-)
@JosephWright clean does that, but it will not remove the extra file I have already started to prepare but which is not ready for distrib yet (happened to me in tools where I added an extra .dtx to merge with multicol
@JosephWright yep I like the docstrip approach ... use a tool that is there on any platform
@FrankMittelbach In all seriousness, I've been reading up again on Lua so perhaps it is the time to look more seriously at this. Only issue I guess is that Lua is not perhaps as stable as one might like.
We might then imagine a pretty simple config file for each directory
Which could easily include an explicit list of files
Would you like to help me please i'm a beginner !

@PauloCereda I'm thinking something relatively simple, doing the same as our current make scripts/Perl script for make check, but no other changes. More or less a 'drop in' replacement initially.
