@cfr For that little "stick" in the arrow, I had actually thought of setting a style like stick/.style={fill=black,inner sep=0,minimum height=1cm, minimum width=.5mm} and then draw the line like \draw[ultra thick,-{Latex}] (0,0) -- (10,0) node[stick, midway, label=below:$f_1$] {};, if you want to implement it.
@Alenanno Isn't that pretty much what you can do with a marking decoration and the \arrow{|} syntax? I considered using that, but it did not seem worthwhile for a single case. But I'd probably do that rather than re-implementing the idea. Is it worth it for a single mark? It seems like overkill.
@Alenanno I've added an addition to my answer explaining how to use a decoration for this. I still think it may be overkill in this case, but perhaps it will be useful nonetheless.
@cfr yes a vertical bar would suffice, but you must add a node and a mark won't provide an anchor for that, unless you use a decoration. But in this case, a tikzset is still less hassle :P
@Alenanno I think it is pretty easy, personally, to use the decoration. And the arrow tip I used picks up the options to the \draw automatically, which is nice. An then both the arrow tip and the node go into the mark so it is all done in one package, which seems reasonably neat. I think having to manually match the line width makes it more complicated. Why don't you post an answer of your own?
@cfr I was going to but when I went to the question, there were already two answers and mine wouldn't be that different to justify an answer of its own. :P the fact that your mark inherits the properties of the main line is neat indeed. I like that.
Update: The template has been updated. It is now possible to define the separator between the icon and the content for all instances at once. By default, it is a \space, but can be changed to a \quad or something to your liking.
\renewcommand{\acvHeaderIconSep}{\quad}
The folloing is now obs...
@Johannes_B Just say: There was an error and I correct it instead of posting stuff out of context where I have to guess what I have to do with such lines
@Johannes_B I think, I have answered recently a similar question. I'll try to change that answer to provide a possible solution, but 90% of the code posted by the O.P. is not necessary as an MWE
Hi, I think I have a bunch of questions after a very humbling runin with tabu, but I think I need help sorting them out in my head before I can ask them. Can someone tell me why I need to have an expandable test, if I want to use multicolumn in the tests result?
@Max \multicolumn can not have any non expandable token before it or the current cell template is inserted and it is too late to replace it by a template for a spanning column
Next question. Consider this: \begin{tabu}to\textwidth{llX} \multicolumn{2}{l}{test} & very long line that doesn't break with X but does with a p column \end{tabu}
if you have (say) a c column then do \relax\multicolumn{2}{r}{oops} then when tex sees the \relax it decides that it is a normal cell so inserts teh c template so \hfill here and a pending \hfill to be added at the end of a cell, then it expands \multicolumn and sees \omit which is the primitive that tells it not to add the cell template and it dies.
@Max honestly, tabu is not my favourite package but it ought to break in X I'd have thought, you need to ask a question on site with a complete example so people can run it and debug
'max then tex essentially re-adjusts the cells removing that column from its internal model, this is normally nore or less invisible but...
@max if you are using macros that count and measure columns they sometimes need to be aware of this, which is tricky as tex does not give any sane way of flagging it has happened. longtable, in every, "chunk" always adds a complete empty row with all cells and then removes it again from the typeset box, just to ensure that never happens. I don't know what tabu does, but by the sound of your description, not that:-)
@Johannes_B If the macro is quite long, it's quite tedious to copy the whole macro definition -- of course, there's a sane ratio of code length to copy or to patch ;-)
@Max yes tabu loads longtable (and tabularx I think) but modifies the code from both. But clearly if there is a bug it must be in the modified parts:-)
@Johannes_B That may be, but the main cause of such questions is that most users don't read manuals or package descriptions. Most package documentations are quite clear what is going on.
@Max must be the fault of enlargethispage:-) actually it just isn't supported at all I think, longtable's output routine isn't designed to allow floats as you don't want a float mid table normally, and enlargethispage is really just a hidden float with a few special properties, so whatever enlargethispage does to longtable is by accident rather than design, so could be a feature request but not a bug:-)
@David, Well it changes something that works under latex without longtable, so let's call it a rather pressing feature ;) I found a way to work around it back when, but it wasn't exactly pretty and quite a bit of work getting it right
Ah, I apologise. That's really all there is to the document. I didn't know that the package order would make much of a difference in this case. I have the following as my packages:
@Khallil tex.stackexchange.com/help/formatting But please remember, that you should post a full but minimal document. The guidelines I linked before are pretty precise I think.
@JosephWright No, it cuts chunks out of your paragraphs. :)
Things that make this site great: (i) commenting on answers to make them better instead of posting almost identical "better" answers. (ii) voting, lots of voting.

(Of course (i) doesn't apply to certain folk who engage in tick stealing.) :)
@Werner I'm not voting to re-open (I think) but I disagree with closing that float question (especially using gold hammer) Frank's answer is effectively a manual with the full details of the parameters but that doesn't mean people know how to use them in any particular instance. Otherwise we'd close every question with a reference to the texbook or package manual.
@egreg We had a week here. The ship got paint in that time. So we stayed some day s and visited shops and restaurants and compared pizza and filetto di manzo of each one.
@StefanKottwitz Can you say something like "Wenn der Vater gibt man zu den Sohn... (or something like it.) I'm interested mainly in the 'gibt man' part.
@JosephWright Its originally in Yiddish, and I'm trying to figure out what the 'man' is. Wen der fater gibt men tsu zun, lachen baiden. Wen der zun gibt men tsu fater, vainen baiden.
@StefanKottwitz I know what it means. I'm trying to figure out the linguistics. :) It means "when a father gives to a son they laugh, but when a son gives to a father they cry"
@Johannes_B Yes, that's what I'm trying to figure out. I'm assuming it's the equivalent of German 'man' and is somehow "doubling" the subject, but I'm not sure. I know very little about Yiddish.
@AlanMunn When i first read that, it expanded to When the father makes the son a man, both laugh; when the son makes the father a man, both cry. But there is a serious difference between giving (geben) and making (machen).
@Johannes_B No, I'm pretty sure it's the equivalent of 'man'. It may be that in Yiddish, 'man' can be used as both an indefinite subject as in German but also an indefinite object (not possible in German, I guess.)
@Johannes_B Well for example, in English @Paulo might say something like "They say it's very cold in the winter in Michigan" I'm assuming in German that would be like what I just wrote, no?
@StefanKottwitz Yes, I think so too, but can you get 'man' as a direct object in German too? That was what I was asking. Because the 'men' in the Yiddish example presumably gets interpreted as the direct object, I think.
"When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry."

I can't understand what this quotation means.
Can anyone help me understand its meaning?
