Is there a software which can parse pdfs and extract bibliographic references? ACM DL is a web service which can give that info like here: http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=296806.296823&coll=ACM&dl=ACM&CFID=98288669&CFTOKEN=12911537
Mendeley's current release can't do this, would someone co...
This is a good question! mhchem's manual doesn't mention escaping from its formula parsing which not only sets the 2 as subscript but also transforms the dash (-) into a single bond.
It does mention one way implicitly: using $...$. Thus the usual way to prevent mhchem's parsing is indeed to swit...
just realized there's a bug in both \hapto and \bridge :(
@PauloCereda It would be nice if arara would ignore directives that are input after \begin{document}. Currently it doesn't which more than once confused me until I realized it
@cgnieder Ah I see. :) Personally I prefer to add a special directive which tells arara to stop reading directives instead of hardcoding the limit. Say, % arara: halt perhaps?
@cgnieder Thanks for the kind words. :) The concept is actually quite simple, but at the end of the day it proves useful. Perhaps Ockam's razor in action. :)
Oh quick question. Is there anyway to adjust underling spacing (spacing between the underline and the word)? The spacing changes when a word has a letter like the letter p and a word which has no letters that 'dropdown' (so to speak)
@PauloCereda I'm fine, just that I found that not knowing when France has holidays, I didn't plan my journey to Prague quite cleverly, but it's probably not a big deal
@JosephWright I was doing the opposite and I didn't find any problem, but I just read it in a question of a guy working on a package to load all packages
A humble, faulty attempt, inspired by tohecz, and mainly based on my answer to Censoring Curse Words with Grawlixes:
The converter.lua file:
symbols = { "%-%>", "%=%>", "%<%-", "%<%=" }
replacements = { ["%-%>"] = "\\rightarrow ", ["%=%>"] = "\\Rightarrow ", ["%<%-"] = "\\leftarrow ", ["%<%="] ...
I found the fix: \newcommand{\cheminfty}{\ensuremath{\infty}} \ch{^\cheminfty_{1}Zn[\trans-\bridge{2}(\hapto{3}:\hapto{3}-Ge9)]^{2-}} For some reason it doesn't like $\infty$ so I made a macro. I don't understand why this works.
I'd like to typeset a chemical formula with both bridging and hapticity. (Specifically the title of this paper). There is a coord-use-hyphen option, but that only works inside the IUPAC environment, not the \ch environment.
Here is the (almost) working example of what I want:

@MarioS.E. hyperref just provides an interface to the relevant parts of the PDF spec. I don't know of any digestible version of that document. Here's a link, PDF Reference Manual but as I said, that's not very digestible.
@MarioS.E. Here's the relevant part from §12.4.2
Each page in a PDF document shall be identified by an integer page index that expresses the page’s relative position within the document. In addition, a document may optionally define page labels (PDF 1.3) to identify each page visually on the screen or in print. Page labels and page indices need not coincide: the indices shall be fixed, running consecutively through the document starting from 0 for the first page, but the labels may be specified in any way that is appropriate for the particular document.
Open question: what is faster? To \RequirePackage{whatever} or to check if the user has actually request it and \Require it if so? I'm asking this because the package lineno has a thing that leaves a lot of commands in the .aux file... and I'm not sure if I should \newcommand these to empty or if I should just load the dam package and forget about it
@cgnieder It seems I only thought I'd installed the new version, I'm fixing it now. Also I'm worried I've screwed up the whole thing, so I'm dumping the entire 4.2 tree into my folder now....
@MarioS.E. it depends. If the package is tikz then it loads 100 files and takes half an hour doing stuff, if it is indentfirst then it doesnt. Conversely loadiing tikz probably doesn't have an effect other than taking time if no tikz commands are used, whereas loading indentfirst in itself changes the document layout
@tohecz You can inhibit interline glue for a group of boxes also with \offinterlineskip (it's a declaration that remains in force in the whole group it's issued in). However there's a difference: between two boxes with \nointerlineskip between them no page break can be taken, while with \offinterlineskipzero glue is inserted, which makes for a feasible page break point.
This seems to work very well:
\documentclass{article}
\newlength{\linespagelength}
\newcounter{linespage}
\newcommand\linespage[2][0.4pt]{
\newpage
\begingroup
\baselineskip0pt
\setlength{\linespagelength}{\textheight}
\setcounter{linespage}{0}
\loop
\addtolength{\linespagelength}...
@Canageek They disable chemformula's parsing and thus prevent hyphens from being turned into single bond and numbers from being turned into subscripts and so on...
I'ld like to make -> as a ligature to \rightarrow. Is that possible with Plain TeX or has it to do with the loaded font?
