@HenriMenke It's very slow at the moment, to be honest. :) We found some issues in a couple of libraries arara relies on, so I'm studying how we can overcome them. :) But I hope to release something in the middle of the year, hopefully. :)
@HenriMenke Proposal: add "Dies ist eine Übersetzung der Frage von LeO... " with Link to the original question. At the end of the questions, since then the name of the OP is clearly above yours to see
@HenriMenke So it's clear that this question has been translated to provide an answer in German
@HenriMenke Ah, I see now, you provided the link, great
@PauloCereda I don't really understand it :( Introduction of idiot's interface in Gnome 3 made people switch to MATE (the Gnome 2 fork). I wonder where's this going to lead.
I was looking for my ProfileSwitcher icon: it's simply gone. Not accessible. Period.
@PauloCereda but it's unelievable! There's nobody coplaining about the UI, and yet it gets molested like after getting fucked by 50 murderers in a prison.

We had a question about "Donut E Knuth"'s name-changes. on our Meta once... which was deleted for some reason.
Hello, I've got a quick question: I'm trying to make something conditional on whether two words are the same length with \ifdim \else \fi. The problem is that I need all possible cases, so = < >, but = is also part of either > or <. Is this a limitation of \ifdim?
@DavidCarlisle Yes... I should have said "I understood it". Although it still fails in the command I'm trying to use, but now at least I know that nothing is wrong with my ifs..
What is the correct \expandafter magic here. This is being defined within a pgf's \foreach and needs to be accessible after the \foreach so needs to be \global:
Another (quick) question: does \settowidth return the right length when using font features such as \textsc or \textsf? I'm using a command to shift some text, and it works fine without those, but with them the offset I use is wrong.
The vertical rules (black) are from showframe, of course.
The construction of the chapter title is too complex and not needed.
What I do need is a rectangle that goes from current page.west to current page.east (at somewhat the same vertical positions currently visible)...
...and with the text (A chapter) to be situated where it is now, except for more control in terms of the horizontal location. Specifically, I want to control it in terms of current page text area.west, or whatever the left margin is.
There is a dedicated site for software recommendations here on Stack Exchange but I'm not sure people there may know much about something like CDLatex.
I'm looking for a Latex IDE for Linux which has shortcuts like those of CDLatex, e.g. you press `z and you get \zeta. CDLatex is the main reaso...
How do people see this? It sounds to me like 'I want exactly the same software as I have now but ...', which feels to me like a feature request or similar
@DavidCarlisle So we are ready for the LaTeX2e release?
I see that @FrankMittelbach has uploaded new zips to DropBox: I guess we must be :-)
@JosephWright Personally I'm a bit surprised that we are including multiple builds of the same front end for one of the editors in the main distribution (if I understand correctly).
I understand the need to have a portable distribution, but I personally haven't witnessed 10.4–5 in the wild for quite a few years.
@JosephWright I suppose so… I suppose I don't know how many people are still using these older systems. One of the great arguments for TeX is backwards compatibility; it would be a shame to compromise this in any way.
And on that happy note, I have senior recitals to attend. My thoughts on the PPC bit: All good things come to an end. Ending support for PPC in MacTeX for a specific editor isn't the end of the world; TeX will live on.
@JosephWright I would definitely drop Texmaker. TeXStudio is actively developed and tries to conform to other editors (for the magic lines, for example).
Do you mind help me figuring out what is more "beautiful" to use in LaTeX? I'm afraid it's a too small subject to ask on tex.stackexchange...
I'd like to hear your opinnion on that =)
I was looking through the net and figured out two ways to achieve sections with no numbers, but appearing in the TOC and subsections behaving normally.
What do you think is "better" in the way of using it? Redefining sections/subsections with renewcommand to fit your need or...
Are there fonts in LaTeX equivalent to those of Microsoft Office ("Times New Romans, Veranda, Courrier ... ") ? If yes, how can we use them ? Which package contains them?
@JosephWright I want a document to have no section numbering, because every section is an example. And "1 Example 1" looks stupid, which is why I also changed the subsection to "1.)"

With pdflatex all my citation are pdf hyperlinks to the respective entry in the bibliography.

You need to either change to the directory containing the files using cd before you run makeglossaries or use the -d option when running makeglossaries.

@egreg The paragraph wrap is a problem. Only static and dynamic frames can have shaped paragraphs. The main flow frames would have to have the shape set at the start of each page, which would be fiddly.
I have defined myself a \ket which does \left| #1 \right\rangle. For a state with two numbers, say n and m, one writes, on paper, |a b>. What kind of distance should I use to separate those numbers? \, or more?

@Vochmelka The bordercolor setting could be removed by an empty argument: citebordercolor={}, then hyperref does not set the color. However, then a default color is used.
A little cumbersome way is to redefine the \cite commands (with support for the different syntax forms as optional arguments) and wrap the call to the original command in \begingroup\hypersetup{hidelinks}\OriginalCite[with]{all arguments}\endgroup.
