I've got a very strange issue goign on in TeX right now.
I'm editing some lecture notes in mathematics, and there are a number of (commutative) diagrams.
To typeset these, I was previously using the xy package, but I decided to switch to tikz-cd
However, I'm currently getting some strange errors. The commutative diagrams won't compile if I'm using a (custom) command: \graph, which is just defined as \operatorname{graph}. However, using literally \operatorname{graph} solves it---everything compiles normally.
@Danu TikZ preempts \graph for usage with its graphs library. The command is redefined only in TikZ environments. You have an unlucky choice of command name.
@Danu With \DeclareMathOperator{\foo}{foo} you make TeX do less work every time \foo is found. With \newcommand{\foo}{\operatorname{foo}} you do more work (some nanoseconds, actually). The \DeclareMathOperator way is shorter, isn't it?
@Danu There is a real reason why \DeclareMathOperator should be used. If you go with the \newcommand path and happen to have \foo in a part that's subject to \MakeUppercase, you'll end up with FOO in the printout.
I know there are some commands to control the position of the label of each arrow: From the documentation: "To further modify the appearance of an arrow, note that <options> may contain any key that can be passed to TikZ's \path command. Similarly, a label can receive additional options"
In an example from the documentation, I found commands such as "near start" and "near end" to control label positioning, but nothing like "middle" (which is what I'd like to have).
Maybe my question is not strictly related to the subjects of this forum, tell me and I'll delete this message.
Links in pdf files seem not to work with Kindle ebook readers. I have a TeXfile of my study notes, and in the preamble I have put
\usepackage[pdftex,colorlinks=true,final,pdfpagelabel...
I recently bumped into a small problem while using the tikz-cd package. It was about the positioning of the labels attached to certain arrows. One of the users in chat was friendly enough to point out to me that the positioning can be manually controlled using pos=<fraction>.

I want to latex a matrix with the first column all zeros and the last all ones and the ones in between are all possible binary vectors. I think a good way to do might just to have horizontal dots for the middle columns
The thesis class you are using includes the line
\RequirePackage[dvips]{graphicx}
that is basically just wrong, and you should report it to the maintainers.
As it is (if you can't delete the [dvips] from your local copy) the class only works with latex followed by dvips, not with pdflatex or ...
@JosephWright was looking at that 2015/01/01 failure again. It looks odd, I suppose I'll have to build the format, but is miktex distributing a latex/base including ltluatex.tex but without rebuilding the format to a current base?
Sometimes I like to TeX up my notes for a blackboard talk (which I will print out and bring to my talk, not to distribute, but just for my own reference). However the default classes like article are not perfectly suited for this, the primary issue being that what I TeX does not end up being as ...
@ChristianHupfer as I say I wouldn't invent the lists especially not from memory (Karl, listed in comments has never been a member fro example0 (Alan hasn't had any active membership for 15 years or so..)
@DavidCarlisle Why? The question was about the people behind 'LaTeX' ... a pure project page link is nice, but ... well, the VIP should be mentioned too, in my point of view
@ChristianHupfer fixing them would mean deciding if you want to list anyone who has ever had write access (do include Michael Downes and some others) or just people now, in which case some of the people in eh list need to come out, and separating 2e and l3 doesn't really work, it's one team, Joseph has made commits to 2e for example, I suspect Will and Bruno haven't, but they get all the team mail, and so it goes,....
The project web site lists all all members with some historic context here latex-project.org/latex3.html I'd delete the lists and link to that
@ChristianHupfer me frank and joseph if you mean who has done a commit in the last 5 years, but chris, rainer, will, bruno david K, Robin and Morten get all team mail and take part in design discussions so it all depends. But best just to link to the page
Great, I should be sleeping by now, but no, I had to code something! :) Somebody please call the authorities.
Here goes my pathetic attempt to provide the raw data you want. Since I had no idea of a good name (namely bird names, of course), I wrote a small application called ctaninfo. Here it co...

@StefanKottwitz I think I saw it :-) now excuse me, I should go. I go to a wedding tomorrow and it'll be a long day. Good night and have a nice weekend
