@Qrrbrbirlbel I'm lazy to correct it. :)
!!/eightball Am I lazy?
@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: too busy looking for bugs in longtable.
@percusse Lovely to be here. I walked alonh the beach from Yeşilyürt to Yeşilköy today, got lost in Yeşilköy, and finally found Dürümcu Baba for lunch.
@percusse I'm here for three weeks' hard work fixing obscure and difficult bugs, that only appear 2 or 3 times a day on a system running at 2000 messages per second.
@Brent.Longborough Oh i don't know if it is good or bad. :) If you have time go to the islands. They are very nice this season. Not too hot but still enjoyable
Of course hiking in Büyükada to the church at the top is always nice.
@Kurt well they were mac so I never used them myself, but they were one of the first to aim a tex system at real people (ie you didn't have have to load a large tape reel and compile it all from source...) and integrate it in to the host environment. They were the first to have scalable versions of the computer modern fonts (I think the type 1 versions of computer modern are still the BSR ones (just re-licenced) they were the first to have a linkage between the viewer and the editor...
@Kurt Textures was the second implementation of TeX for the Macintosh; it used real Computer Modern fonts (the older Mac TeX didn't). It was easy to create formats, for example tailoring plain.tex to use Italian hyphenation rules (it was TeX 2.0). Shortly after they provided the Computer Modern fonts as Type1, which was a giant step for quality printing.
@Kurt It had a problem: it was commercial, so when OzTeX came out, people switched to it.
@egreg I have only used a MacBook for two years to learn a little bit the mac operating system and this kind of computer. I tested TeX on it (with MacTeX and TeXShop) but I usually use Windows and MiKTeX. So I do not know the history of TeX on Mac. BTW: is there a historic map or a description about this?
@Kurt hmm i searched for sbtex textures emtex (three early implementations) and the only hit on the site was this answer of mine saying they were not included in a family tree diagram, so it looks like there is scope for some better historical answers (of course @egreg is very old and remembers all this stuff first hand)
I think you need a key, it wasn't always clear what the colours stand for, for example e-LaTeX/pdfe-LaTeX, Aleph appear to be marked as implementations like pdfTeX/Omega, but they are (more or less) just formats built over the relevant engines. Similarly I'd have expected to see context colored a...
@Kurt 1. Mac TeX (1985), 2. Textures (1986), 3. OzTeX (1987) Dates are approximate. 1 and 2 used fonts in Mac format, 3 used PK files. Then Adobe Type Manager came out, so it became possible to use Type1 fonts more easily. Also OzTeX used them for previewing (after some time). Mac TeX died soon. The situation changed drastically with Mac OS X, when TeXShop made its entrance and we were able to use the real Web2C implementations (teTeX at first, packed by Gerben Wierda).
Then Thomas Esser stopped developing teTeX and everybody switched to MacTeX.
OzTeX didn't have a builtin editor like Textures, but there were some choices. I settled to Alpha, then Alphatk.
They could launch LaTeX and also previewing with a keystroke.
There was also CMacTeX, but it didn't really catch on; it was a Web2C implementation on the Macintosh.
I'd like to get a list that looks like this:
1. Text addressing #1.
2,3. Text addressing #2 and #3 together.
4. Text addressing #4.
The motivation is that the list items are referring to a previous list. Any idea on how to do this easily with enumerate? (Or some other way to do it that looks...

This gives the items with roman numbering.
But I want to numbering in (i,j) format, i.e. I want my items numbered like (1,2),(1,1), (5,4) etc. What to do?

@SeanAllred I've tried about six times, close my browser, done the SE signout ritual, everything imaginable. Except cleared cache. I'll try that now, but in my book that's almost as bad as support telling me to reboot my system.

@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: Good afternoon! I'm Psmith, the friendly TeX bot - the p in my name is silent, as in pshrimp. I'm here as a companion to our fellow users in the typographic land. As you probably noticed, I always reply under Paulo's account, but do not despair, I say, my replies are always preceded by my own name. Enjoy your stay at TeX.sx! If you need any help, just ask our chat residents. Cheerio!

Hello, I'm writing a definition and I would like to put an emphasis on a word. What is the correct typographical way in LaTeX? (I'm using amsthm package)
@MartyIX Just thought I'd add: if you want to emphasize a word because it's a keyword or something similar, you might want to define a command, say \newcommand{\keyword}[1]{\emph{#1}}, and use that instead of directly using \emph, as described here
What is the sed equivalent to capitalize the first letter of each word? Or any other Unixie way to do it. In a non-emacs editor, whose two letter name is best not mentioned in these parts :-) one can use "s/\<[a-z]/\u&/g". Realy I just want "abc-def-hij" to become "Abc Def Hij". I know how to replace the "-" but not how to uppercase just the first letter of each word.
If your sed has \u you just need to double the \\ until it works in time honoured tradition. If however your sed doesn't have \u the above algorithm doesn't terminate
I've been trying various ways to do some basic things with sed on OS X. Here are the results of some simple tests.

@kan I don't know. I always do a trial and error approach of closing down the browser and restarting it when that kind of thing happens, or clearing the cache.
@kan see if only you were on windows and in the benign care of microsoft things would be so much better (so long as you install cygwin so you can use perl and bash and emacs and stuff and pretend you are on linux:-)
