@HenriMenke @DavidCarlisle Thanks guys. In the meantime @Stefan took care of the thread. But reading it now, i think the OP has something completely different in mind.
@TorbjørnT. I know for \bf and \it but was not sure about \bfseries and \itshape.
@TorbjørnT. For me the link say don't use \bf or \it but nothing about \bfseries and \itshape so I rather prefer to ask :). And thank you for your quick answer :)
@RomainPicot They are not deprecated at all, but \textbf and \textit are better for single words or short phrases, because they automatically add the italic correction.
@egreg @DavidCarlisle Ok so I should create a little script to modify every \bf and \it to \textbf and \textit in the doc I'm writting with other people
@JosephWright indeed. But there's one from 2003/2005/2006, it's "A dynamical Proof of Pisot's Theorem" by Jarek Kwapisz: math.montana.edu/jarek/papers.html An important note: the original proof is much much longer, and it's a big theorem for us.

@PauloCereda -- there *is* some precedent for tug meetings outside of the summer months of the northern hemisphere: 2011, kerala, india, oct 19-21 2006, marrakech, morocco, nov 9-11 1998, new york city, mar 21-24 1980, stanford, feb 22-23 (organizational meeting) so sign up support, and make a proposal.
@RomainPicot damn, that's what one Czech association uses all the time! What would you write at the top of a mail in this sense?
@RomainPicot so one should drop "en bas"?
@barbarabeeton I thought the meeting alternates North America and the rest of the world... Is it only my impression from the limited amount of information I found?
@yo' -- that's pretty much the intent, but it's not cast in concrete. part of the decision is based on the likelihood that enough people will be able to get there, affordably, to make the organizing effort worthwhile.
@Alenanno -- never said i had anything against lawyers as people -- i've known a few who were/are quite delightful. i just tend to dislike some of their professional practices, and think that, in general, there are more of them than necessary.
@PauloCereda -- yes, that last one is particularly tragic. (unfortunately, i am a mosquito magnet, and i've also had several long bouts with very high fevers, not mosquito-related, to the point of being packed in ice because medication wasn't working fast enough. not something i wish to repeat. so mosquitos + infections flashes bright red lights at me. we have to get you to a meeting somewhere else, in person.)
@barbarabeeton I am also a mosquito magnet, no matter how much repellent I use. :( They used to tell me I had to take a lot of vitamins from the B complex, but I had no luck either. I think our blood must be sweet (I hope vampires don't hear me). :)
@PauloCereda the last one is epic: from electrical and electronics technology because my publication in this field are so great ! (I have one publication in computer science btw)
@egreg does \@ set the space factor to an interword space (or something like that) so that the following space (which will not be eaten since @ is not a "letter") will be an interword space?
@StrongBad Sorry, I didn't mean to "edit" your message. I say "edit" only because I opened it and pressed send by mistake (without changing anything lol).
@StrongBad I've no issue with The TeXbook but would not say that it is the best guide to beginners nowadays. Moreover, I wouldn't recommend learning plain to a new user.
@egreg It's about points of view: I guess he means things like cross-refs, TOCs, ...
The comments on my response to the RTFM meta question almost make me feel like adding a list of examples of shall we say "less than ideal" documentation.
Examples: "Only found inside the package" setspace. "Depends completely on the documentation of some other package" bigfoot. "Can't see the docs behind all the flags" minitoc. :)
Do these ads actually work for anything? I don't see any point of having ads. We can instead hack them and put MWE requests, or practice tips such as
minimal is too minimal!!
or
\bf is not your bff. \it is a cheater.
and so on.
@AlanMunn With biblatex, sometimes i don't even look at the doc, but at the source code. You almost never can say: Just look at the source code of the package to an OP.
@PauloCereda compare \TeX\ . and \TeX{}. so {} has the advantage in automated scripts that you can always do it, but you can only use \ if you do actually want a space.
@DavidCarlisle We certainly can do, though at least for the .ini files the entire point is this is stuff that's explicitly not part of the team's 'view' of the format
@JosephWright yes but I think we can have them out of base but on ctan as "example ini/cfg files" or some such description. If it happens that the example is exactly what texlive uses, so be it.
@JosephWright think it should be better: current arrangement was fine when things were stable but getting things updated for all distributions by sending mail to texlive just feels wrong:-)
@JosephWright probably need to do the ini and cfg as two separate ctan and probably two separate gh repo, I could do the cfgs if you want or you could set up both if that would make things more consistent, whichever..
I have been using ShareLatex so far, but sometimes its a pain using the website when it is much faster to just manipulate files on your own computer, for larger projects. Since I am beginning a larger LaTeX project, I was wondering:
FEATURE-WISE, what have users encountered as pros and cons of L...
