@MarcoDaniel: Is there a easy way to get access to the corners of an mdframed environment? I am using the usual \tikzmark, could simplify my code if there was an easier way. I want to do a drawing just at \end{mdframed}. If you think this warrants a proper question, I can post it.
Can anyone please upvote this question tex.stackexchange.com/q/50041/3954 so that the OP can use a chat room? Having to discuss a problem in the comments can be really annoying.
@JosephWright Do you have time (and interest ;-) for a rough check of a TikZ article translated to English? I already read and made corrections. latex-community.org/know-how/427-stemma-tikz
@PeterGrill Souped-up \tikzmark now available. As I say in the answer, in functionality then it's not too different to Stephan's answer in terms of what you want, but it's a cleaner implementation of the idea behind \tikzmark and has some definite advantages over the original (such as being able to use before the mark is declared and thus put drawings under text).
I have an external 100 pages PDF document (not created by pdflatex) that I \includegraphics page-wise into a beamer presentation. The external PDF document employs white as page color, but I need the background to be transparent.
Ideally, this would be an option one could pass to \includegraphic...
The warning is not specific to minitoc. The standard classes typeset ToC page numbers in a box of width \@pnumwidth (note: this is a command, not a length), and minitoc adopts the setting of \@pnumwidth. The command's default value is 1.55em, which is sufficient for three-digit numbers. In your c...
Does anyone know of a way to make a nice timeline in a single A4 paper page? I used the Chronology package and it's very easy to use, but it ends up being too long... Ok, I'm doing over 150 years, so maybe the premise is wrong. :P
@JosephWright Hello
:)
I did a quick search but every solution seems to fail at this point. Maybe I'm trying to get too many years.
I found some examples of timelines on the site, but they don't seem fit for the type of graph I want to create.
Basically I'd like to create one of those timelines you see in books, where you compare several lifetimes of various authors, in order to see when they were born and when they died.
A...
Finally a loto worth winning: usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012-03-29/megamillions-jackpot/…. In case you don't see me around after tonight you'll know why. :-) I know it is premature, but just wanted to thank everyone who has helped me so much... If I don't have to share the prize with anyone, then I promise to send everyone that has helped me something...
@DavidCarlisle Yeah I know that is more likely, but in case a TV does actually fall on my head, or I get struck by lighting several times, I thought I'd give everyone with a nice thought rather than the more likely scenarios.
I have a couple lines in my file that read \edef\Delta{\noexpand\ensuremath{\mathchar\the\Delta}} \newcommand{\HCN}{HCN2J\Delta AB}
How bad an idea would it be to change the second one to \newcommand{\HCN}{\texorpdfstring{{HCN2J\Delta AB}{HCN2JdAB}} if I'm using that macro in both captions and body?
If you were asked to show examples of beautifully typeset documents in TeX & friends, what would you suggest? Preferably documents available online (I'm aware I could go to a bookstore and find many such documents called 'books'). Extra bonus for documents whose LaTeX source is available.

@GreyGeek Let's do it like this: You find something that you like on the web and try to match the fonts and probably our XeLaTeX gurus would provide the solution in a snapping time.
Someting like this will work:
\documentclass{article}
\newcommand*{\bil}[2]{\ensuremath{\langle #1,#2\rangle}}
\begin{document}
Text Text \bil{4}{11} Text Text or \bil{m}{k} even $a=\bil{u}{r}$
\end{document}
@percusse hey why pick on me:-) @GreyGeek I know nothing about tikz (see quote on the rigght:-) and it must be 20 years since i last used metapost so I cant help there either
I have set up the acknowledgement part as follows:
\section*{Acknowledgements}
Thanks Mum.
But then, the header is missing, except the line at the top is appeared. As I want to make it standardized with the rest of the part of my document, I need to, by any means, include the header. When I se...
