@cmhughes it is tough. I thought about dropping a what cmhughes providede is 100% tikz. However, i do not think it would help the current discussion... I think you provided a perfectly good starting point. However, he doesn't realize this.
@cmhughes Perhaps we could say that the provided methods are the most front end use for the problem he has posed. As he has no experience with tikz the common answer here should be the proper way to do the figure.. However, how to put that nicely, so we dont start a fight...
@MartinScharrer I don't think it's possible in a robust way. Since the parser is looking at the path as a whole until the ; character. But pgfextra is a limited option.
So anything comes in between would confuse the parser and you have to escape to the lower level with some magic.
\draw (0,0) \pgfextra \pgfmoveto{\pgfpoint{2cm}{2cm}} \endpgfextra -- (1,0); will actually start in 0,0 move to 2,2 and draw to 1,0... So i guess that should be "no problem". Of course as percusse says, there are many pitfalls...
argh!! I always forget the back-tick is not for the chat!
In a \subsubsection, I'm describing a software component, and I have to describe the classes it is composed of. I'm thinking to add some "titles" like "Class 1", "Class 2", but what's the best way to do this?
The simple way I know is to put a \noindent \textbf{myTitle}, is there a smarter way?

This shouldn't be taken too seriously, as deep numbering is not recommended. However, here's how one can have 100 sectional levels (all are modeled after \subsubsection after that level).

I want to use the swash font from Minion Pro working with mathcal, like when using the package MinionPro. I can't find a way to add fontfeatures to mathfonts.

Problem! The nearest package repository, IMSc, Chennai, has gone off line. So, My MikTeX package manager cannot install packages. Perhaps you guys have a suggestion?
(And, if I change the repository, should I select a http:// or ftp:// in the package manager?)
@AndrewStacey The file I uploaded now is a bit bleak without dtx and test file. Should I delete it again or can it sit there until approx. tomorrow for me to add the rest?
@StephanLehmke Keep it there. You can always replace it with the dtx later. If you write it into the dtx, do bzr mv <old file> <new file> (this can be done even after rewriting - bzr help mv). Or do bzr rm <old file> and bzr add <new file> to simply replace.
@AndrewStacey Ok, thanks. Can I use your template.dtx as a template for my own dtx?
@AndrewStacey Another question: With svn you can TeX immediately in the checked-out directory because svn doesn't care about temporary files because of ignore settings. Whats the policy for bzr?
@StephanLehmke That's what it's for (I was going to say that I didn't think it was me who put it there, but then I just looked at the file and saw that it must have been).
@StephanLehmke Yes, I run TeX all the time in my version. If you do bzr status then it might list the generated files as unknown but it won't force you to add them. There's a file .bzrignore which tells it to ignore certain files matching regexps. (You can still add these files, they just won't show up when you do bzr status)
@egreg Hi there! I posted an answer to tex.stackexchange.com/questions/70090/… but apparently it's not what the OP wanted. I followed up with him- could you read his reply?
@egreg ok; I'll hold off for the moment. NARQ sounds good
I especially like the part * I don't know anything about 3d stuff in latex so you want me to do something I can't do without dramatically much more effort than someone else that does* and I also asked for a tikz solution. It's a surface, and I drew it in a tikzpicture. Goodness gracious
