How can I vertically center the image with respect the text on this:
I was thinking in put the \includegraphics inside a \raisebox{value}{} or something like that, but then I have to try so many times in order to get the correct value
the bottom of the image is aligned with baseline text
I want the image vertically centered with respect to the text

@N3buchadnezzar I decided this go-around not to install even a small fraction of the packages. I went with the minimal install and then hand-picked the few additional packages I actually use.
Somewhere in the installer you can select what collections to include; one of them has just TeX and LaTeX. Throw in the English (or Norwegian, as may be) documentation and you're done.
Then you have to go through tlmgr later to add specific packages.
@N3buchadnezzar The only package I got that I don't use was braids; I saw it when looking for tikz and figured I would give some moral support to Andrew.
Of course, then I ended up with xypic when trying (unsuccessfully) to answer a question here, and I'm certainly never using that again :)
@RyanReich I also like to be noticed when I use a package I have not used before. Sometimes I use packages, and wonder whether I have used them before or not.
My TL installation has come all the way to ce, and it ha only been an hour. Oh boy :D
@N3buchadnezzar Part of the reason I was being miserly with space is that I got a new laptop with a smaller SSD rather than a normal hard disk. "Only" 128 GB.
Currently using ~24 GB. I could probably have gotten them all :)
@N3buchadnezzar Well, then the OS would be run from swap, of course. But these new laptops are quite impressive. Somehow it contrives to use up all my RAM anyway.
As for the tiny size: I'm not just picky about my TeX packages ;)
Er, I think I meant "conspires". Though there is something contrived about that kind of memory usage.
@N3buchadnezzar I think on this laptop it takes less. I should time it; it's crazy. Equally crazy is how silent it is. The only moving part in the entire machine is the fan, which is a whisper.
(It's basically a clone of the Macbook Air, for what it's worth)
@PauloCereda I'd say it's unnecessary, but I just checked why it is that nearly 1.5 GB of RAM is used, and I found that Chrome is by far the largest thing running. And Dropbox, strangely.
@PauloCereda I guess it's more a question which SIM modules are put in, but my knowledge of hardware is very limited. I didn't buy the laptop privately :)
@StephanLehmke Ah yes. :) I know almost nothing about hardware, only a few things from computer archicteture. :) Brazil has a bad technological market, we have basic/medium quality stuff at immoral prices. :(
@RyanReich I think RAM availability spoiled the fun. :) When I began with programming, memory allocation was one of the greatest concerns we had. Nowadays, people don't care because "with so much RAM no one will run out of it." :)
@N3buchadnezzar Those are necessities, yes. But, say, the epiphany browser that comes with gnome, which is much smaller than chrome, does not seem to do extensions at all. So I have to use chrome or firefox.
@RyanReich I think with full support for unicode and all kinds of fancy new HTML versions browsers will become larger. And some features are just so cool they make you tolerate bloat... Ever tried ctrl+shift+I in firefox, then chosen 3D view?
@RyanReich Furthermore, I doubt JavaScript was ever meant to implement the kind of dynamic site behaviour we're seeing on SX or other "social media" sites. It's a bit like programming TikZ in TeX - you'll get it to run on modern hardware, but it will hardly ever be efficient by asymptotic considerations.
@N3buchadnezzar Well at least in TeX, because of basic properties of the "rewriting" formalism it is using, a lot of operations will gain a factor of O(n) with respect to what they should theoretically cost. That is what should take O(n) is taking O(n^2), what should take O(log n) is taking O(n log n) etc.
I think it might be possible to get some things almost as efficient as they should theoretically be, but only at the cost of bloating the hash space. And furthermore I'm not seeing that a lot in packages.
I really liked this quote from the OP "I read some tutorials on making one but i don't know where to make it? should be in windows? or Ubuntu? what software i should use for my project to function?"
I wasn't saying this argumentation could be taken over immediately to JavaScript, it's just that things like this happen when you use tools for things they weren't originally meant for.
@RyanReich A colleague at Penn for a while required his homework assignments (in linguistics) to be done in LaTeX. His rationale was that if you can't figure out how to use LaTeX, you shouldn't be doing linguistics in the first place.
@AlanMunn There's someone at Essex in the UK who seems to recommend LaTeX to his/her students. Regrettably, there seems to be no LaTeX course at Essex!
@RyanReich I sometimes think I should do the same. This semester I was on a semantics thesis committee. The student (who is very smart) wrote the thesis in Word and it looked like it was formatted by a child. His chair and I were dying to just say "Do the f-ing thing in LaTeX" but we restrained ourselves somewhat.
If I mention LaTeX to 99% percent of my colleagues, they give me the puzzled look you give to Bieber fans who claim that JB is better than Beatles et. al combined.
@AlanMunn OF course, all grad students in math know LaTeX to some degree, but almost everyone I talked to when I was doing my PhD thought I was crazy to program TeX.
They didn't even know what that was supposed to accomplish.
@JosephWright I think also the great work that the TeX Live and MikTeX people have done in making distributions that just work is also really helpful. When I was in grad school you could only really run TeX on an unix box, and it was much more mysterious. So much so that I didn't think it worth the effort, even though I was very computer literate.
@JosephWright Okay, just the interview then :) (But I guess he must be, given his output. I have no sense of what he is doing, though, only what he has done)
@JosephWright I think because we have some great packages for linguistics and also because linguistics papers use a numbering system like math equations, the benefits of LaTeX become quite quickly obvious to people. From what you've said about chemistry, in the past, this seems less true.
After Internal error: bad native font flag I stumbled upon another weird problem with the combination XeLaTeX/fontspec/Libertine/newtxmath:

@AlanMunn Oh, we use lots of float numbering (schemes, figures) plus compound numbering (best done with chemnum nowadays). On the other hand, chemical graphics are best done using specialist tools, so those tend to be used. The chemists I know who do use LaTeX tend to be on the 'physical' side, where there is more mathematics.
@N3buchadnezzar It depends on what you mean by 'difficulties'. I have no issues producing documents in LaTeX for my own use, but these don't fit in with the work flow of my colleagues (in particular my current boss). I guess the most obvious reason for this is that if you include a chemical scheme in a document, you can't actually see it in LaTeX in the source, but you can both see and edit it directly in Word.
@N3buchadnezzar Try reading the source and tell me it's helpful. The ideal would be to read ChemDraw XML files, which can be edited graphically, and auto-convert to PSTricks, TikZ, etc. However, that looks like a complex project, and you are still left with the files separate.
@N3buchadnezzar Well yes. That's actually pgfplots stuff, as my current work involves a lot of rate measurements
I have tried all of the chemical structure drawing packages, and I'm not convinced that any of them really work to produce output of sufficient quality or that I could maintain
@N3buchadnezzar I may yet have another look at chemfig. I've got a while before my new jobs is supposed to start, and I would in many ways like a TeX-based solution

@BrentLongborough The extraordinarily sensitive touchpad on this state-of-the-art laptop is, well, extraordinarily sensitive. The slightest breath will cause the mouse to flutter.
@RyanReich I have an olde-fashioned approach to touchpads. The first thing I do is install a mouse, and tick the option that says "disable the touchpad when a real pointing device is present"
Actually, about the only thing I dislike on Stack Exchange is that you need a mouse.
@BrentLongborough That is a really annoying feature of anything that expects a GUI. It's actually impossible to tab through Stack Exchange, because the important buttons are not "links" as the browser understands them.
@RyanReich Yeah, I long for the days when we didn't have all this "programming language lint" cluttering up the web, and 4K was considered a big, ill-mannered page.
@AlanMunn Too close, I think; Ryan's mouse-flutter causes 30-metre waves off Tierra del Fuego
@AlanMunn Isn't there a Middle English gender-neutral pronoun ("ow"?), and could we have that as an option, please? I appreciate your disclaimer; "they" as English is hopelessly broken IMSAO.
@BrentLongborough Not that I know of. Actually my disclaimer is about the 'they' package option. The use of gender neutral 'they' in English goes way way back in time, and it's perfectly fine IMO. Just like my thesis class, which I will never use, I will never use the he-she package.
@AlanMunn My package is like that. I wrote it for my girlfriend and it makes diagrams that are only useful for her field of math. That's also a sort of "he-she" package.
@BrentLongborough See the wikipedia link for some real live examples from the 15th and 16th centuries, including the Bard. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they
@RyanReich Absolutely. If you read the docs it's clear that even I make fun of the package.
@N3buchadnezzar Poor xypic gets no love now that tikz can do all of its tricks better. (Now, if you want to make fun of pstricks, that's a different story :P)
