@tohecz well you either need that or you need to force each figre to be a multiple of baselineskip (by boxing and measuring and padding if necessary before floating it
In the following example, the columns on page 1 and 3 "sit" perfectly on the frame, while on page 2 (with the large float) the columns end a bit above the frame. Does anyone have an idea what I could do to get around the problem? (If a perfect solution is not possible, then a difference of 1-2pt ...
I removed the egreg tag from my question (tex.stackexchange.com/questions/84673/…). It was just meant as an appreciation that egreg provided a command that forms the basis of the question and an appreciation in general to his contribution on the site
@tohecz It's more or less true (Although the TeXBook I own is a TeX3 one the one I actually read end to end was TeX2 and it still has an affect on how I think about the newer features:-)
Since TeX reads an entire paragraph before it makes any decisions about line breaks, the computer's memory capacity might ^^{capacity exceeded} be exceeded if you are typesetting the works of some ^^{Joyce, James} ^{philosopher} or modernistic novelist who writes 200-line paragraphs. Suggest a way to cope with such authors. \answer Assuming that the author is deceased and/or set in his or her ways, the remedy is to insert `|{\parfillskip=0pt\par\parskip=0pt\noindent}|` in random places, after each 50 lines or so of text.
I am trying to print a comma inside a \texttt{} tag, but it is not printing:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\texttt{foo, bar}
\end{document}
produces:
foo bar
not
foo, bar
How to print the comma inside without loading extra packages, though defining new command is allowed?
I work for Mendeley, so you may think I'm biased, but I can address the factual error in your question above. Anyone can sign up for Mendeley or contribute documents for free. It's also free to interface with the network via http://dev.mendeley.com
I think where you may have gotten confused is ...
@Jörg Good, I removed my comment. Some more are obsolete now. I understand, of course! And I like fun, there are just some rules :-) Also I restrict myself often.
@egreg well in theory (but not always practice) the longer para should help place figures as it means tex has more material to juggle, the problem with the page breaker as opposed to the line breaker is that it ships out pages too early and never normally considers two pages at a time
@tohecz talking of TeX3 Frank tried to get reconsider paragraphs <at page breaks> in to TeX3 but it didn't get in. You can do it in luatex using its paragraph breaker callback I think
For basic calculations within the document body (subtract, multiply, divide etc.) is there an alternative to the calculator package (not Lua though). That was the first package I found, so I tried that one
@egreg No, you misunderstand me: did was the key word here. We needed \(pdf)strcmp: we also more-or-less said we would not ask for any other new primitives
I actually dropped in to get some quick macro help, but as I wrote the question an answer came to me that will work for the moment and I'm in a hurry. So I'm afraid I can't chat too much now. The semester is almost over, though, so I think I'll be back more frequently in a couple of weeks.
Hey guys, I got a silver badge for context. If I add context tag to all the questions for which I have given a context answer, do I get a gold badge? :)
@Mathematicians: I should have noticed this earlier: Regarding tex.stackexchange.com/a/82655 do you know a maths command \wideparent? If yes, which package?

@egreg As mentioned in my interview, I'm in it - here - for the long haul. Lately I've been less active, just because of other things requiring action. Same would actually go into the entire December.
@egreg and @DavidCarlisle Thanks for testing and spreading the word! I think there's been a similar question on here, which also proved to be MiKTeX-XeTeX specific, but I didn't find it.
@doncherry Unfortunately (?) I don't have MiKTeX to test it.
@doncherry The fact that copying the text gives spaces is not decisive: usually PDF previewers have heuristics for deciding when two spaced out strings are divided by a space, since often spaces are not "real characters".
@doncherry I checked my font file: it's version 2.33, file size 333636, dated Aug 13, 2011
