@SeanAllred The merit of the bot is a JS script which runs in one's browser session (a project from Zirak named SO-ChatBot). Psmith is then written as a combination of a modified JS code (Zirak's code) + a local webservice provider (mine) which contains more complicated stuff. So, if I want to do the battle thingy, the JS script which runs on my browser session captures the pattern, calls the corresponding service, fetches the JSON output and then outputs the result in here. :)
@Nick ah depends how you access commands generally, on the commandline you can literally just type that, if you are using a tex GUI it probably has a doumentation menu
@egreg Oh, I added it after \begin{document} ... silly me. fixed it. Now, an installer is running downloading the package. Well, this is very automated.
Moral of the story: If you're not going to do birthday parties, then go professional... unless you suck, in which case you will be crucified and better off doing birthday parties.
@DavidCarlisle But I am quite nervous to ask my first question here. New users are inclined to ask dumb questions. Will I be peed upon if I ask my question on the main site?
@Nick we're not stack overflow, mostly we are reasonably friendly to new users. (as long as they don't commit sins like using vertical rules in tables.....
@Johannes_B tell him if tex can't find the files then they are not installed. They may be there and not in the search path or they may not be there, but that's the same thing as far as tex is concerned. The simplest way to fix something not being installed is to install it.
@Nick one thing that isn't popular is just posting an image and saying "how do I draw that" best to make a complete document with an attempt (even if it makes the wrong component) and ask how to fix a specific problem.
@chris Freaking library. Smells in hear. Ever burnt a moth? Some of that, smell of hard thinking students. Smell of energy drinks and dust. Absolutely disgusting.
@FaheemMitha that is the name of the comand, so you don't need to change the documment (provided you used quote before). Should work with any environment you previously used.
Hi. Is there any way to change the position of the page number in the first page of the chapters in book style? It is usually located in the footer center, but I want to see it as other pages without change...
I'm using the KOMA-Script to define my headings and I would like to show only the page number in the chapter start pages. I got this by creating a new style and using it with \thispagestyle{ChapterStyle} after the \chapter{}, but I have many chapters. Is there a way to add only the page number au...
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2014) The top-level auxiliary file: minion.aux I couldn't open style file molecularEcology.bst ---line 36 of file minion.aux : \bibstyle{molecularEcology : }
@Gregory you can put them anywhere in BIBINPUTS see as above on my system,. paths prefixed by !! are pre-indexed so files in there will only be found if you refresh the filedatabase with texhash, path segments ending in // are recursively searched for subdirectories
@Gregory google for it, presumably it exists somewhere:-) (either that or there is a typo in the \input statement and you should be inputting a diferemt file.
@Gregory if the \input{babelbst} is in teh .bbl generated when you ran bibtex with the other bst files you will need to re-run bibtex to regenerate a bbl without that input

"this time" – proving that it's always healthy to start the morning with a hearty laugh :)
@egreg I was, I was. I did have the idea though in the comments – I've just ridiculously busy with everyone's favorite SE client (thinking forth-dimensionally, of course ;))
In other news, I just discovered that you can edit your last message by pressing the 'up arrow' key.
I am trying to reference an URL, I cannot understand why it mentions only title, not the url itself. I would like to get references like (Goossens et al., 1993). Should I use bibtex, natlib or something else?
@hhh as always probably better to ask a question on site with a (not) working example. bibtex and natbib aren't comparable, one is an executable program that generates bibliographies and the other is a latex package and associated bibtex styles. So you might need both, or neither, depending what you are doing.
@hhh plain style for bibtex was written before the web was invented, so doesn't know anything about url. You can use \href in the value of a field, and it will just pass it back to latex/hyperref to deal with (that may be what you want) but it doesn't have a URL field out of which it will construct a hyperlink automatically
@GBeau all the ams alignments default to displaystyle
@GBeau Well, in that answer the package is suggested. I commented about it: I can do nothing more.
@MarcvanDongen I wouldn't recommend commath in any case: it's just a collection of poorly written macros (see the definition of \pd to see what I mean). — egregJan 3 '13 at 11:58
@GBeau The author hadn't the slightest idea of what \ifinner does. He could have simply used \frac that already does the right thing by itself, instead of complicating a simple issue. Other macros are blatantly wrong; really.
@DavidCarlisle moved to main site here, q about bibtex without urls.
It must be some easy thing, I have worked so many times with bibtex but now cannot just crux the prob, perhaps wrong package? I imported just cite pkg...
@hhh see cfrs answer. the way bibtex works you can have any fields you want in a bibtex file, but specific styles just use the fields they use. so with the standard styles url-... is not an error it is just ignored
@EnthusiasticStudent you can use \showoutput to get a symbolic representation of the output in the log (you might want to do it on a small document using the same headings as it makes a lot of output) don't put font sizes in the document but you can tune the section heading definitions to match whatever publishers ask for (note if they say pt they mean the unit tex calls pt) (or at least they probably do)
@DavidCarlisle now they suggest to use biblatex. My compilation and CFT's compilation are totally different. I use TexPad 1.4.7 in OSX, not sure because due to it.
@EnthusiasticStudent stick it in the preamble of a small document and look in the log, you'll get the idea:-)
@hhh the editor you use is irrelevant to what tex does with the file.
@hhh biblatex is new(ish) and has enthusiastic supporters but if you have a working bibtex setup there is no need to change everything just to change bibliography style
@DavidCarlisle I have earlier got urls I think even under bibtex...so I cannot understand why I should change to biblatex...
I am still inclined to think that I need to just use proper package to overcome this missing urls problem in the references.
(I don't have my old tex files at hand currently to look how I did it earlier, hmmmm....perhaps I need to go to home to check them up :)
(Initially I considered that this prob is going to be a peace of cake: for some reason, this whole cabooza is expanding too much...trying to keep it as simple as possible. Perhaps I put the urls earlier to Description/Field tag with some \url{...}?!
@hhh that's what I mean, if you want to try biblatex it's a fine system but you absolutely don't need to change systems just to choose a style with URL, cfr's answe suggested sone bibtex styles with a url field, do they not work for you?
@hhh where did you get bib types like @webpage and @electronic from? they are not standard document types. If they are written for a specific bib style they need to be used with that style
@hhh yes sure as I commented here before you posted the question you can put tex markup in the entries and bibtex just copies it to the generated latex.
@hhh well does bibdesk come with some accompanying style files? there is no point having a GUI front end making it easy to generate code that nothing can use? (that's a real question I have never used the system but if it generates entries for @webpage etc presumably it in in some expectation that the user has a bib file that knows that entry type
@hhh plain style for bibtex was written before the web was invented, so doesn't know anything about url. You can use \href in the value of a field, and it will just pass it back to latex/hyperref to deal with (that may be what you want) but it doesn't have a URL field out of which it will construct a hyperlink automatically
@hhh so there I was suggesting \href but the example you just linked to with \url is the same, just putting latex markup for the link into the entries.
