Discussions on the code license change are 'interesting': there are some poorly-informed people about (and ones who thing SO should be pushing some agenda)
I wish to print some notes that use the documentclass amsart in a more compact form. I was hoping to simply use the savetrees package (maybe there is a more recent replacement?) but that seems to choke on equations:
\documentclass{amsart}
\usepackage{savetrees}

@JosephWright oh I see the minimal question now, answer or close as dup?
@JosephWright I don't think it should be same as article, it was originally written to answer a user question about what had to be in a class. It's probably a bit too minimal (It really just aimed to avoid making any errors not do anything) But it could perhaps have a big \PackageWarning{} saying it is for debugging only and does not set up many things expected by other packages.
@Werner I'm worrying more about the number of unanswered questions: we need a serious think about how to keep on top of the low-upvote ones whilst allowing time for answers and space for good unanswered questions
@Werner I'm going through on vote order: I'm down to the +7 level, and there are a few I've managed to post something for plus one or two I might like closed but which are not 'mod action'. But there are a lot of low-upvote cases where I do wonder what the outcome will be.
What characteristic behaviour does our community exhibit? Is it possible to capture this through some statistic or visually through graphs?
Certainly! There is a host of information available through the SEDE. This post is meant to collate some of the discussions contained within How can we expl...
I have tested morewrites and scrwfile in my template which uses so many writes that without loading any of those packages I would run into the no room for new \write problem.
I find that with scrwfile I can use more packages that use an output. In my case these are
TikZ and pgf (without extern...
@PauloCereda Funny thing is I can see what I'd get if I opted in (winterbash2015.stackexchange.com lists hat you have in potentia). I'd be ineligible for several.
@JosephWright yes where despite some suggestions to the contrary I think "soon" needs to be nearer "now" than "easter".... In particular can we get away with not patching the kernel and saying everyone has to put \RequirePackage{luatex85}% or something at the top of their document until packages update.
@JosephWright yes any things that we think are permanent but unless we decide the pdfxxx names should be permanently aliased I'd rather keep those in a package, but...
@JosephWright I'd release the current kernel (once I have done the utf8 fixes) and your ini files for 2016/01/01 so luatex testing can happen, even if we do another latex update before tl2016
@JosephWright I looked at that but it depends on ... It works well enough if you do the above mentioned RequirePackage{luatex85} first and unless hyperref and others also update in practice it's going to be simpler to tell people just to do that all the time at least for 2016/01/01 hopefully get things updated before tl2016
Or we could put a hpdftex.def in the tex/lualatex tree that worked for luatex, so the normal one doesn't get used, but multiple files of same name and relying on path order seems rather fragile
@JosephWright OK and I think rather than push the ifpdf.dtx that is in the github I'd leave that to Heiko and go back in luatex85.sty of defining \ver@ifpdf.sty and setting \ifpdf directly. Now that it includes all the aliases, it seems I only need to block that one rather than several as I originally had it. Then that keeps all the weird temporary stuff in one place
@JosephWright you were saying about cleaning up that character class emulation for luatex....

@PauloCereda A comment from the attendance at an opera theater, reported by my grandfather: the tenor had to carry the fainting soprano outside the scene; “Do it in two travels!” cried a spectator from the “loggione”.
@PauloCereda I'll raise it on meta once I know it's definitely going ahead: I'm going to strongly urge people to multi-license (I do anyway but it's a useful reminder)
@PauloCereda As noted in the question and comments, the current license is actually more like the GPL
@JosephWright I actually don't like GPL for a couple of reasons (but I do have some code licensed under it). Personally, I'd prefer people to explicitly tell how they want their code to be used instead of a global setting. Besides, I think there's a thin line in talking about originality of a code...
@DavidCarlisle Sure, understand: Look, do what you want but (preferably) rename files you edit or (at least) clearly mark any derivatives with your initials
@JosephWright echo "Sure, understand: Look, do what you want but (preferably) rename files you edit or (at least) clearly mark any derivatives with your initials" > lppl-1.4.txt
@JosephWright I dual licence the html entity definitions with that (along with the W3C software licence) so that mozilla didn't have to add yet another licence in their "about" dialog.
@PauloCereda I couldn't finish the song. It was cruel.
@baxx LaTeX provides environments for quote and quotation, the is a package with the same purpose. I sense you are looking for something like epigraph?

You can go into almost any pet store in the UK, especially the big chains, and see first aid kits for your dog.
Is there anything specifically required for a dog first aid kit, or will a human first aid kit cover what is needed for a dog as well?
@DavidCarlisle but if i wanted to use http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/accanthis/ , I can't just put {\fontfamily{accanthis}\selectfont in , so is there a three letter thing for that?
Sometimes learning to prepare documents using AucTeX [LaTeX generally] with all the attendant benefits may be a bit challenging for people who do not know programming.
I have 2 questions :
What is the maximum limit of dots that I can display above a variable to indicate its derivative ? (I read it somewhere that 4 is the limit. Still not sure)
How do I print more dots than these in a general form?
Under a question in TeX 'A simpleton's guide to (…)TeX workflow with emacs' I learnt that there are some other installations one need to do into emacs such as biblatex, reftex, 'AUCTeX can handle \input and standalone' etc how can one do that?

@PauloCereda @FaheemMitha: I once extended the number of virtual consoles to 9 and changed the message of the terminal to **This is Virtual Console #1 of Nine` ... it was fun with Seven of Nine ;-)
@FaheemMitha Why not? I am a great fan of Monty Python and Fawlty Towers, occasionally Black Adder too, but that's rarely broadcast in Germany... I should buy the DVD edition of that one day. I could watch on YouTube most likely, but I prefer watching on a real TV set
I am using counter-format=se.qu. for my questions which gives the following output

@egreg 0.87 drops all internal support for \mathcode \mathchardef etc it does not distinguish between something defined with \mathchardef and \Umathchardef, which is probably a good thing overall, but it makes a mess of our test logs
Off topic. Hello. In LyX, (amsart) when I want to say, by equation (1), we have..., should I enter the (1) in math mode, or is there a more standard way to cite numbered equations (such as with citing references)?
@TheSubstitute -- if you give it a label, say \label{myeqn}, you can refer to it as Equation~\eqref{myeqn} and the parentheses and number will be filled in. (you can leave off the Equation~ if you prefer the short form.)
@FaheemMitha Matter of taste IMHO. I don't like the last 3 movies (one of the reasons is my dislike of Portman), but the first 3 are very nice. Things nowadays are different, and even the focus is shifted towards a different perspective; I have this friend who watched it and enjoyed it so much. So your mileage might greatly vary.

@AlanMunn I did not vote to close this. But did you by any chance see the original version of this question? I understand why it garnered multiple down-votes at that point and I sympathise with the down-voters although I was not among them. If you arrive on a site and introduce yourself in that kind of way, people are very likely to react in a hostile fashion. I don't think this is close voting gone amok. It is a perhaps regrettable but all-too-human reaction to the OP's hostility.
@AlanMunn I was not serious and I did not, and would not have, voted to close it. Nor would I have down-voted it. I'm just saying that I have some sympathy.
