@HarishKumar we have to dive into the source code! Would you prefer I upload a new version to github, or do you fancy doing some digging in your local version?
@HarishKumar I've just uploaded version 8.15 to github- it should give some (hopefully) useful info to indent.log. it also now takes -h flag (for help): github.com/cmhughes/latexindent.plx
@AlanMunn The site I liked to provides a .engine file for TeXShop which allows you to control what gets executed. It seems to claim that you can run TeXShop with this .engine file and have the PDF open with Acrobat after.
@PeterGrill Since this is an Applescript it depends on commands in the Applescript dictionary for Acrobat; to adapt it to Preview you would need to figure out the equivalent commands in the Preview Applescript dictionary.
@AlanMunn Oh, but I couldn't get it to work with Acrobat either. But if one does not need to reopen the PDF in the same spot and closing and reopening the file with Preview should be doable, but beyond my bash scripting capabilities...
@cmhughes I think when I installed cygwin sometimes ago, either Me or the program itself changed that in the system variables. I don't exactly remember. There was a Home variable under user settings.
@nuttyaboutnatty If it only applies to this table, then I'd have it after \begin{table} but not in the header. It's then only processed once, but is grouped by the table environment
a general style recommendation / convention question:
am thinking of placing the changes in values
beneath the current value
in brackets
like so:
43.1
(10.3)
(sorry, in fact it's two relates percentages)
(not "changes")
vs
putting this into two separate tables
I think I'd favour the above dense approach
what would you say?
(I tried to google this but couldn't find anything conclusive; other than that some publications tend to use write it in one line like so: 43.1 (10.3) which would obviously take more horizontal space...)
This year, LyX participates in the Google Summer of Code. This is a great opportunity to get improvements and new features implemented. I appreciate that LyX makes entering the TeX and LaTeX world easier, I'm sure there are many LaTeX users who started with it. And for sure, many LaTeX friends us...
@DavidCarlisle It's not about the site, but about LyX, so a better fit to the main site than to the TeX.SE meta site.
@DavidCarlisle And I guess starting a discussion based on a hot topic, recent event, can support the site. While development can benefit at the same time. (Better an on-topic discussion based on a event, even if closed later when it might be obsolete at a time, than a funny hat game ;-)
@MarcoDaniel I just posted an mdframed answer but what's \ doing in the providespackage line (I think that will break some parsing that expects a real space) vvv

^^^^^
@MarcoDaniel sorry I didn't see you'd already commented (I wouldn't have posted the answer in that case) especially as it's not really an answer just a comment but I wanted the formatting
@MarcoDaniel just look at that listfiles list though, I went to such an effort to make listfiles line everything up and it's all a mess: you have a \ Heiko has two spaces before the date l3 packages have more than 8 letters...:-)
@JosephWright I expended as many tokens I dare while making things fit in emtex:-) It pads things less than 8 but lets longer ones go out, but doesn't normalise double spaces etc between the fields.
@topskip I started using TeX on BSD unix hence longtabl_e_ and had to undergo years of pain (and a special mapping feature being implemented in web2c) as a result. Now people are asking why it's a bad idea to have spaces in file names...
@percusse It's actually quite common for people to use \renewcommand and accidentally turn length registers into macros. It's hard to trap and hard to get any sensible error reporting. Well actually \renewcommand could trap itbut it would be a bit expensive to always test if \meaning#1 is a register.
en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Lengths tells me that \textwidth measures the width of the text on the page. However, \begin{tabulary}{\textwidth}{@{}*{2}{L}*{6}{S[table-format=3.2]}@{}}
seems to be about 0.5 cm too narrow on the right side of the table
@percusse It's the ending that varies, but at the document level you can't rely on that so still need a 'meaning' test. Of course, for L3 we are much more likely to take a slight performance hit for better overall structure, but I'm not sure we need to (as dimension expressions are used generally).
\begin{tabulary}{\textwidth}{@{}*{2}{L}*{6}{S[table-format=3.2]}@{}} this on it's own, on the other hand, appears too narrow on the left side of the document
@JosephWright "as dimension expressions are used generally)" yes not sure whether we could ever catch \dimexpr 0.5\mywidth\relax if it expands to a legal length.
@David I posted an emacs+auctex suggestion to someone complaining having to \label every section... of course, he was using something that is even worse when compared to that v*m (texshop, I believe)... :-)
@JosephWright @DavidCarlisle I was thinking more like a warning inside a definition that if the macro exists and it's a dimension issue a warning for redefinition. OTherwise it would be a nightmare to catch all possible macro names and check if they are of different type
@nuttyaboutnatty No, if you have paragraph indentation and a paragraph starts with a table that is as wide as the line, the result is too wide by the width of the paragraph indentation. use \noindent\begin{tab... or \centering (or any pther env that sets \parindent to 0
@nuttyaboutnatty In general, there's nothing wrong with asking questions and discussing the LaTeX problems here. However, this really looks like "give a MWE and you get an answer" problem.
@nuttyaboutnatty no rules or conventions! That is our rule... :) But, we do politely request users with long code to post MWE on the site; after all that's what the main site is for. :)
@nuttyaboutnatty As you see, @David, our table expert, can provide a likely answer even without the MWE, but still, it is a likely answer, not an answer, because it cannot be tested.
@percusse yes exactly but at the tex level there isn't any quick test you can do, TeX "knows" but teh macro layer has to use \meaning and the do a string comparison for it not saying macro ->
@tohecz David got most of his rep by alternating missing % at end of line and missing noindent at start of line` to all questions irrespective of what text or MWE they have.
@DavidCarlisle The bigger issue is that there are other possibilities: depends on what exactly you want to trap. Probably best would be to check that the thing to be renewed is a TeX macro (could be long, so two tests)

@DavidCarlisle @DavidCarlisle as another "workaround", could it be that the error overfull hbox .. too wide .. and "too narrow" table can also be resolved/fixed just by putting less text into the table cell(s) ?

@DavidCarlisle thx, I'll take a look at it; but since my cells are still filled with dummy stuff, I might be "breaking" rules which I won't with the real data
currently I'm trying to crack this:
× & TOTALLY bla percentage of bla & {1000} & {2000} & {3000} & {4000} & {5000 apple & pears} & {6000\tnote{1}}\\ \midrule
(notice the apple & pears (S-column) - currently this just spreads out horizontally, rather than creating a multiline, which the "TOTALLY" L-column does)
(I'm aiming for two lines)
(2 lines regarding the multirow)
(but I think we had that yesterday, I'll try and dig out the chat-log, if I remember correctly)
@nuttyaboutnatty Please use the site for questions chat is for fencing results notice the apple & pears (S-column) - currently this just spreads out horizontally of course I can't notice anything as the code can not be run in that form. But since you said that's what happens that is of course expected, use {\parbox{2cm}{apples and pears}} to make a paragraph context within a LR box.

@AlanMunn Indeed! :) I remember watching a Simpsons episode when Krusty the clown mentioned about "Ilhas Falklands". I was like, "Argentine coast? Where is it?" :)
@DavidCarlisle It does as expected, am I misunderstanding sth? I think that flalign flushes the equations to either side of the page...
Of course, the point with flalign is: it does the optimal possible thing, depending on the instruction. For instance, if you did not have those & at the end, before `\`, then, it would have understood that no other equation follows that and it would have been aligned in the center.
@egreg Can you please confirm what I wrote above? :)
@egreg the code of flalign has a lot of tests for fleqn and setting mathshift to \@mathindent so it looks as if is trying to indent by that amount but I suspect it halves it somewhere along the way while forgetting about fleqn and thinking about centering
