In some countries one use comma as decimal separator instead of a dot.
I ususally use:
%%%% Une vrai virgule pour les décimaux
\DeclareMathSymbol{@}{\mathord}{letters}{"3B}
and $3@2$ to obtain 3,2
instead of $3,2$ that gives 3, 2 <- a uggly useless space after comma
I just find this :

I have a problem with using the units package. In my thesis I used it sometimes in math environment, sometimes not. Now I realized that there is an addition space after the comma in math mode. I think this is a problem of European and American writing of decimal comma and decimal point.

@egreg I can only assume you've choked on your morning coffee as I expected to see a 1000 line polemic on the evils of \left :-) tex.stackexchange.com/questions/173717/…
@JosephWright Unit testing, basically. The idea is to have a couple of "methods" (can't remember the exact Lua name for it) that help us analyze output and internals. I'm not inside the lion's mouth yet, but I'm getting there.
@JosephWright can you use the email of the user ^^^ or is that an abuse of your powers? It might be good to send him a stripped showkeys.sty and asking him to test...
@JosephWright actually I'll just comment suggesting he sends the doc to me
When we italicize text with the dot (.) or period symbol, does it actually change the (.).

Can anyone tell which of them is italicized? And same way for capitalization.

@AwalGarg if you'd asked here it could be answered (italicised:yes, capitalised:perhaps) but if you ask in general there is no answer, it depends on the system
I'm just wondering if it's appropriate/correct to add my own solution (under Update 2) as an answer here? I already awarded the bounty so it's not about that.
I have two questions:
If I’m reading §30.4 “Crossing Minimization” of the PGF/TikZ 3.0 manual correctly, the layered graph drawing algorithm should have crossing minimization enabled by default. So why doesn’t the algorithm automatically choose a planar embedding for this graph?
What is the bes...
@DavidCarlisle I remember now why xparse doesn't currently check for single tokens! There are a few xparse-related things in my mind, so perhaps a bit of revision is in order.
@DavidCarlisle The reason we don't currently have a test is that the 'processors' code isn't really suited to it: it happens in the 'wrong' place and can't for example 'bail out'.
@Argo well it means the file's there but pdflatex thinks it hasn't permision to read it or can't read it. Can you view that pdf in your pdf viewer, or has it got corrupted?
@Argo It's hard to help if you don't show code (preferably with a question on site) but I can't guess from your fragments of information what you are trying to do. If you ask latex to include a file which isn't there, it won't work:-)
@Argo but you're speaking in riddles. If I have a file oxidation.pdf i'd expect \includegraphics{oxidation.pdf} to work, and if I haven't such a file, it won't work.
@Argo well pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file ./oxidation.pdf): xpdf: reading PDF image failed indicates that pdftex is trying to read it not write it. at least, it looks that way, you haven't shown the full error message, so again I'm guessing.
Hello everybody! Does anyone know if there is an easier method to get the kerning between two letters, than saving both in a box and then subtracting the two chars respectively?
@HenriMenke Here's the kerning pairs starting with T in cmr10

(CHARWD R 0.722224)
(CHARHT R 0.683332)

Can someone please explain in a clear and concise way how am I supposed to enter the names of authors in a BibTeX file? I have entries with something like

This is funny! In this question tex.stackexchange.com/q/173810/3954 some user provides the same non-valid answer as I initially did (then I provided an answer meeting the OP's requirement); when I comment this to him in his answer, he edits his answer to provide the exact same solution (using \raisebox) as I had already done.
@DavidCarlisle Then everything is OK. I wouldn't even mind had he explained that he was taking the same idea as in my answer....
Now that I see you here, @DavidCarlisle and @tohecz, do you know of any disastrous consequences of using the abhomination ` \\ ` followed by \par? I mean, not the underfull \hboxes that it will cause nor the ugly separation between paragraphs, but really disastrous effects in a document.
@GonzaloMedina An empty page maybe, in certain circumstances, but I'm not sure, @David is certainly more experienced in what happens with `\` at a page break.
@GonzaloMedina it makes a "white" line so it looks a bit like vertical space but actually it's an hbox of full width, and in particular it won't be discarded at a page break and will mess up latex's attempts to merge space between evironments (addvspace)
Yeah it's only me and a mate who's using it in my class. I discovered it last year and after reading a bit, it seemed to be the de-facto way of writing academic stuff. Since my plan studying chemistry at uni I figured it was a good idea to start using it.
I've made my last long (+20 pages) document in word. It's a complete nightmare.
I'm pretty much ready to laugh in silence at my classmates who will be spending hours tomorrow assembling 20 different parts of .docx made with different versions of MS Word to provide maximum incompatibility as well as manually fixing numbering of section, tables, figures, equations, footnotes, font, crossreferences, bibliography, table of contents, table of figures and all that jazz. Ah yes, tomorrow is going to be a good day when I can typeset my document twice and be done with it.
@egreg oh I though you were out of parity for the palindrome. I used to be in a palindrome cycle but then another vim user downvoted my emacs answer and pushed me out:(
@DavidCarlisle In three months I'll be out too. ;-) Well I just need to go in a 3-8 cycle, so I can downvote two answers. I have some ideas about which ones. ;-)
