@AndrewStacey I'm reminded about the story of the CD they were going to glue to Voyager to take out into space. "What music?" they asked. "Bach!" someone said. The Carl Sagan said "but that would be boasting"...
@PauloCereda Is that all \sections, or just a few?
@PauloCereda This has to be a proof of the Riemann hypothesis! "But the memory of my TeXt processing system is too small to contain it"
@JosephWright Very interesting. Even in those days, when I was very young, the vested IP interests got it 'taken down'
My Emacs keyboard muscle-learning is taking over my brain. I keep using Emacs keystrokes in places they're not understood. I'm scared!
hmm tex--xet beginR endR only work in horizontal mode and \halign columns need vertical mode. That seems suboptimal, I wonder how easy would it be to make columns go RTL from lua ...
Is it possible to include a color figure and export it in black and white, converting it at compile time?
Something like the following:
\includegraphics[blackandwhite]{myfigure.png} % Not working code!!
I'm including a number of PDF images in my document using \includegraphics. I'm wondering if there's a way for LaTeX to adjust their color profile, hopefully the same way it can flip images upside down, resize, and crop, as here:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Importing_Graphics#Including_gr...
@PauloCereda The original is specifically asking about PDF and the new implicitly asks for PNG, but given that the same answer "works" for both then I agree.
@PauloCereda You (or I, but I'm lazier than you) could leave a comment on the original to the effect that there's nothing special about PDF or xetex here.
@AndrewStacey ooh that's hard. :) How does this sound: "It's healthy to note that neither the image filetype (.pdf, .jpg, .png, etc) nor the engine per se have influence on \includegraphics, so the macro will behave the same for all cases."
glyphtounicode.tex has been described as the best solution for generating copy-and-pasteable symbols. However, I find that various symbols that I need to use do not paste as the appropriate Unicode codepoints/characters. How can I fix this?
This is how my macros should be pasting:

The following concrete solution is based on Ulrike Fischer's answer:

@PatrickGundlach Indeed, I'd moved the text the OP added to the question into a CW answer, but then they came back and said they were going to add an answer. That's now done, so I've removed my CW answer.

tex stackexchange is really curious: A German has really a special question to the German language support of babel. The question was written in English. A friendly German user answered the German specific question in English :-) tex.stackexchange.com/questions/67549/…
@PauloCereda Certainly in the past there have been cases where people's personal ideas of what is 'correct' have been involved in babel definitions. Could be that.
I am using JabRef to manage my citations and have used [Author-Year] as bibtexkeys.

@tohecz Not really. The answer goes a little further to explaining the problem whereas Herbert's comment is a bit terse.
@JosephWright (Or anyone else) if I want to symlink something into my user texmf tree that has bits that would normally go in here there and everywhere, is there an easy way to do it? I tried just symlinking the main directory in texmf/ but that didn't seem to work.
@tohecz Certainly I would normally prefix something like that with "As mentioned in the comments ..." but I wouldn't necessarily have made my answer CW. On the whole, I don't like "Answers in comments". I do it only if I'm not sure if the answer will be an answer and want to check the simple solution first.
@JosephWright Okay, so foreach f in * ln -s ~/local/share/pgf/$f/pgf $f does the trick. Do that in both the texmf directory and the tex directory.
@JosephWright That's my way of thinking. On the other hand, it had not been clear whether it is the answer or not, so I would have done similar thing as Herbert had.
but it does not matter I think, he's a newcomer and these are "cheap rep points", nothing less and nothing more ;)
@DavidCarlisle texhash doesn't notice my user texmf-tree. What I was aiming for was a quick way to switch between the CVS version of PGF and the TL2012 version.
@AndrewStacey TL does not require you to hash your local tree. That's been the case for several years now. (Exception: if your local tree is on a remote file system.)
Personally, I think that (in academia) sticking to official e-mail addresses is an atavism.
Currently, one's personal e-mail (say, ...@gmail.com) is better because:
usually more efficient/stable/etc,
lasts for longer than 1-4 years.

I would like to translate (Tx,Ty,Tz) and rotate (roll,pitch,yaw) in 3D space an object defined in scope similar to the same way we can do in 2D space as below:
\begin{scope}[shift={(7,9)},rotate=30]
% draw some object
\end{scope}
Is there any simple way for 3D rotation and translation?
In a more serious note: thank you guys. :) I'd never reach 10k if you weren't here for me. Thanks for teaching me everyday the ways of the TeX force. Thanks for making this community so awesome.
@MarcoDaniel On a second thought, I'd need to understand your TeX code. I better go steal some Enten. :)
@DavidCarlisle LOL the master plan failed. :) I was doing fine, I thought, "well, now I just add the glyphs to the font and we are done!" That FontForge app is scary, I had no idea how to align stuff. :P

@cmhughes No problem. In that other question the OP didn't mention anything about problems with pagebreaks (it was I who mentioned the issue and suggested him/her to used mdframed instead), so I think there's no need to close as duplicate.
@Kurt I think they are chat questions but since they are there, we just let it happen :) If we get a nice answer to any of them we can use it to close the other one which becomes a duplicate as you say.

It should be the underscore that leads to error.
You can use \_ instead of _.
