If you load booktabs, remove the (re)definitions of \toprule, \midrule, \botrule, \hline and \@xhline, changing \botrule into \bottomrule, the file compiles fine, at least with htlatex.

I have an outline frame with a sidebar (which is a background canvas). Only for this slide I want to move the contents to right side. For example the current Outline page is as follows: - Section no.1 * Subsection no.1.1 Since there is a sidebar most of the above content overlaps on the ...

Has anyone seen Textmate's LaTeX typeset and view PDF ⌘+R command fail sometimes but not others? It seems to me that every time I execute this after making a change, it fails.

Does anyone here use MacTeX on Lion and set their TeX environment variables (such as TEXINPUTS, BIBINPUTS, BSTINPUTS, TEXEDIT etc) via ~/MacOSX/environment.plist?
