@nagylzs I wouldn't rotate that label for any reason; it makes the table just worse than it is without rotating. If you don't want a wide column, use an abbreviation for the label.
@nagylzs "Sorszám" should be aligned to "Pozició 1", for instance: they are at the same logical level. I judge from the table, my Hungarian is not fluent. ;-)
@PauloCereda ISO-8859-9 should give you a viable translation. The Windows codepages don't conflict characterwise -- they just use some other (control-character) values for weird stuff like "proper" quote marks.
@JosephWright This one. russella (bug reporter) was the first one who send me any feedback. I am sure you understand the following: If I work on some packages during my leisure, I want to get some positive feedback as motivation. This wasn't so for this package. The new comment of russella is a big motivation.
@Brent: don't forget that I love reinventing the wheel. :) That includes rewriting the whole output system! :) And there's @MarcoDaniel to review my code. :P
On reflection, it's reasonable to have a Turkish-flavoured Windows as a pre-requisite for seeing sensible messages in Turkish. I don't know how the U**x world handles this stuff, though. (Well, I don't really know how the Windoze world does either)
@JosephWright Ah, now I just have to figure out how to split this abomination of a sentence up.
The reactivity would be examined by forming hydrides, amides, and thiolates; by performing small molecule activation ---for example, the activation of \ch{H_2}, borane, and acetylene addition to the alkyl groups--- and by the addition of neutral donors ---such as isocyanides, pyridine, and carbon monoxide--- to the complex.
@Brent.Longborough Government. They already gave me some leeway by messing up how many cm in an inch
"Margins must be set at a minimum of ¾" (1.87 cm); " 2.54 * 0.75 = 1.905, not 1.87. They used 2.5 cm, then rounded down when they should have rounded up.
@Brent: Don't worry with the input format. :) Our issue relies on the output routine. :) Non quod intrat in os coinquinat hominem sed quod procedit ex ore hoc coinquinat hominem. :)
Would it be appropriate to answer tex.stackexchange.com/q/74679/5701 by saying to use negative values for enumitem settings, e.g. \setlist[question, 2]{label=\alph*), leftmargin=-2.5em}?
Another quick question. I want to use the symbol \letter from the package ifsym. TeX Live Utility tells me I have it installed. What do I need to do to get it to work? I've loaded \usepackage{ifsym} but that doesn't seem to be enough.
Hmm...Doesn't seem to help. I've tried writing both \letter and "$\letter$ but the terminal just gives me "! Undefined control sequence. l.84 \letter " :/
@Speldosa I think it's a particularity of the ifsym package. Instead of "polluting" the the macros table with a lot of commands, it allows you to choose only a subset of symbols, so you actually need to specify which set you want to load. :)
@egreg I tried to fool David into running https://github.com/cereda/quack/blob/master/quack, but he read the source first. :) Here I have gvim/mvim set as editor. :)
Speaking of symbols...Anybody know of a good symbol that can be use to represent an author of an article (I'm thinking a pen writing on a piece of paper or something).
@N.N. I'm experimenting with using symbols instead of text. However, it might be a little bit crowded to specify the author in this way. dl.dropbox.com/u/3394117/…
@Canageek The usual spacing for Times is equivalent to \spaceskip=0.25em plus 0.15em minus 0.06em; the first dimension represents the "normal" space, the second is the amount of stretching and the third the possible shrinking. Set it after\begin{document}, but notice that the same lengths will be used also for larger type.
@Speldosa Aquamacs+Terminal+Skim (some years ago). :)
@egreg So I could just reduce 0.15em to 0.10em for example. Is there a way I can pull the current value out, since I'm using 12pt? So I don't have to keep asking you folks every time I use a new font.
@PauloCereda: Hey, did you just interfere with the SE overloads? Seems that the question I was referring to on meta just showed up. I did not know you were THAT powerful on this site! :-)
