Is there any easy way I can tell @JosephWright there is a rather important typo in the achemso manual? (acknowldegment should be acknowledgement in his environment name) In the example on pg 6, though not in the margin (Which I wish I'd checked before going to all the work of making a MWE and writing 90% of a question on what I was doing wrong, before I noticed Firefox's spellcheck flagging it differently then what google corrected it to...)
Hmmm, siunitx doesn't support the molar unit (mol/L = M), I wonder if it is worth the time writing up an example and emailing it in as the manual suggests?
The following code isn't valid but conveys my intention:
\SI{}{\micro\molar}
as in micro followed by a big M. I don't want to use the explicit form of micro moles per L raised to the negative one in this case.
@AlanMunn Now I'm just trying to figure out why the suggested definition is in \textsc. I've seen that used before, but only once, though in a good journal as I recall.
@AlanMunn Now if I could figure out why it claims my section is a table, I'd be happy. I've tracked it back to the cleverref package, but the documentation for that is making my eyes spin.
@AlanMunn Well, I've gotten it to do SOMETHING different. Deleting all the old files, disaballing hyperref and your suggestions means it now thinks my introduction is a footnote
I'm trying to write a document with the achemso package, but my \ref are not working right. achemso links to a package called cleveref, then renames cleveref's \cref into \ref, so any answers for cleveref should work here.
Example one:
\documentclass[journal=jacsat,layout=traditional]{achemso}...
Hopefully someone can help me-- If there is no answer in 2 days I'll dump a crazy amount of cthulhu reputation on it, as I need it ready to hand in next week
@Werner I've not used any on TeX.SX yet; Every question I want to see the answer of gets answered long before it is open for a bounty, and I've never downvoted an answer on TeX.SX
@Canageek Yah, we are a bunch of rep hunters. Or are they called rep farmers? It is important to encourage new users with up-votes though - I support that!
@Werner Upvoting doesn't harm my rep, so while I do that a fair bit (Anytime I find something useful) I still have over 800 rep from that one question. I just missed the first great question badge by a couple of days.
I was reading Why can't "fi" be separated when being copied from a compiled pdf? and had a thought:
I know that v1.4 and up PDF documents have an OCR layer. Would it be possible to have PDFTeX or luaTeX place the un-ligatured text into the OCR layer, so that you don't have inconsta...
@egreg Currently there is only the :D name. This is one area where we've not needed to use the functionality, so have not yet developed an interface. Good suggestions welcome.
@Canageek You do know JACS don't use section numbers?
@Canageek Traditionally (pre-computer typesetting) a lot of journals used \textsc{m} for molar. If you look at current journals, it varies between publishers.
This happened to me already at least twice: On a good day where I answer a lot of questions I sometimes not only hit the reputation cap but actually loose (i.e. do not receive) a larger amount of reputation because of the reputation cap than I actually receive.
To give an example: 4 accepted ans...
@JosephWright Ah I can't wait 'til the end of the day. :) But I have a cunning plan: I have a special bookmark folder where I save my 'next upvotes' for the other day. :)
@JosephWright I want now to declare my house UTC time, but I can't. :) I once submitted a paper to a congress in the United States. I was crying for help when I found Pacific, Mountain, Central, Atlantic, Eastern, Alaska anda a few more timezones.

TeX.sx turned one on November 11, 2011. This contest is part of our celebrations. This question doesn't meet the normal question form requirements on this site, but it is considered an exception, and was approved of on meta.

@JosephWright Yes I know JACS doesn't use section numbers; I'm just writing my undergrad thesis and instinctively cross-refrenced things without realizing there were no section numbers. I've turned them on because I might as well.I just picked JACS as the most prestigious ACS journal.
@PauloCereda If by evil you mean awsome, then yes.
@JosephWright I'm using it so I learn how now, rather then when I am trying to write a paper later on. So far everyone likes how my thesis is looking as well.
I would like to combine several pgfplot pictures in one figure with the help of the subfigure package. The code is the following:

As any dedicated reader can clearly see, the Ideal of practical reason is a representation of, as far as I know, the things in themselves; as I have shown elsewhere, the phenomena should only be used as a canon for our understanding. The paralogisms of practical reason are what first give rise to the architectonic of practical reason.
@Canageek For JACS they switched around the start of this year. The Word template tries to use Arno Pro, but on most systems will fail as it's not available!
@Canageek For a thesis? Probably one column, and be careful about changing too much!
You might notice that I like Palatino, but I'm no design expert. Buy a copy of Bringhurst and read carefully!
@PauloCereda It means absolutely nothing. Kant had a very defined style of writing and a guy decided to write a program for the Mac able to produce pseudokantian prose by just putting together words taken from a list; quite often the prose is grammatically correct, but always meaningless. That guy said that his copy of the "Critic of Pure Reason" was very helpful for him, as it worked as the fourth leg for his refrigerator. :)
@egreg Here is mathslipsum! It is obvious that a topological property is a property of spaces that is invariant under homeomorphisms. Hence, the category Loc is isomorphic to the category whose objects are the frames and whose morphisms are the meets preserving functions whose left adjoints preserve finite meets. For any algebraic objects we can introduce the discrete topology, under which the algebraic operations are continuous functions. Indeed, the answer to this question is positive.
@Paulo Hehe! We giving the TikZers hard time in the contest:)
@YiannisLazarides One could look at Russell's "Principles of mathematics" to find examples of mathslipsum: long and meaningless sentences that seem to be about maths.

I think we've already had questions regarding local modifications of packages that had been solved by deleting the local modification. I think it's "too localized".

@egreg Originally, the question was about an error which occurs with the current version of the cancel package. Unfortunately, the OP edited the question, so it seems pretty useless now.
@egreg Have a look at the first version before his edits, try his MWE or see the first screenshot - it's because \cancel doesn't work at the beginning of a paragraph.
The most useful for other readers/googlers would be a rollback to the general issue, before the question was changed to be too localized.
Many works are published on a preprint server such as the arXiv before publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Since the arXiv can be updated during the peer-review process, it is common to find practically identical copies of journal articles on the arXiv. When writing an article, it is recommen...

@JosephWright Sometimes I receive Word documents; in general I use QuickLook to read them. I almost never have to write on them. There was recently a grant form that required Word in some form, we managed to do with LibreOffice, but I only suggested and never typed. :) By the way this project involves TeX: it's about standardizing doctoral theses in my University and, in the long term, creating a University Press. And I'm glad to say it's been approved. :)
@egreg Sounds like an interesting project. In my field, I have lots of trouble for not using Word exclusively, so I have to fit in. (It has to be Word for Windows: I can't use the Mac version even on my Mac!)
@Canageek Nothing to do with being hip for me (I'm certainly not: shirt and tie in the lab). I need something that works and which can run Windows plus *nix tools. With a Mac, I can test Mac/Linux/Windows outside work, run ChemDraw and Word for Windows, etc. I also have a shop to go to if/when the machine goes wrong :-)
@PauloCereda In synthetic chemistry, it's all about visual presentation, and for that ChemDraw is vital (IMHO). So pasting stuff into Word is the standard. Plus most publishers prefer Word to anything else
@Canageek It got mentioned to me first when I was doing my PhD, about 2000/2001. However, at that time there was no expert about in my lab, so I wrote up in Word.
@JosephWright I guess. I still don't trust Apple, and find all the shiny annoying. I'd rather use linux with VMware then a mac, or Windows with Cygwin.
@Canageek I've tried Linux several times, but have always run into issues. For example, in my last attempt I couldn't get the key agent to work! That was a problem for LaTeX3 work, so was a show-stopper. Probably I did something wrong, but it worked 'out of the box' on the Mac and with Windows
@Canageek I know what you mean. My MacBook doesn't go outside my house for the same reason. I won't say I'm an Apple fanboy, but I do like big guns: I had a top Vaio in the past and now a Dell XPS. I simply need high processing. And I'm more fond of Linux than Mac. :)
@JosephWright Yeah, I don't use linux for that reason. Too hit or miss getting it set up, unless you pick hardware specifcaly for it. Win7 with mingw or compiz linux applications for most things. I also play games on my laptop, sooooo. I did love using linux at my past jobs.
@PauloCereda Mine does a lot: I needed something light as I travel about quite a bit
@Canageek If I switch back to Windows (for my own PC) I'll probably go down the VMware route for Unix support. I've always found Cygwin a bit odd. At work, of course, it's Windows.
@JosephWright I bought a netbook in the beginning of the week (it will be Fedora powered). It doesn't have high processing power, but it's useful for traveling.
@PauloCereda For one of the Proceedings I was in charge with, one of the contributions was in Word. I asked for a printed copy and the file on a floppy disk (the author was not a computer geek, I'd say). I saved the file as text only and reedited it in LaTeX looking at the printed copy. It was easier than reshaping some of the contributions that pretended to be in LaTeX. :) I've written an article on TUGboat about that.
@egreg Pictures are not so bad (Word stores them internally so you can get them out), but things that are stored as non-picture binaries are more problematic
@JosephWright Unfortunately, most of the Linux distros boast of being user-friendly. I think there's an important tradeoff. I'm not picking at Ubuntu, but I wasn't able to manually setup one of my network interfaces. In Slackware, which was considered a PITA, it was pretty simple. Linux has a nice ecossystem, but the user-friendly feature comes at a high cost.
@JosephWright I know people who use LaTeX for presentations, which I think is a much easier thing to do in a GUI. I can spend 3 days on something in Beamer or an evening doing it in powerpoint. Now if someone would only make a LaTeX plugin for powerpoint that would go and rearange all my text to be pretty...
I realize this is a little afield from TeX, as I'm using LyX + JabRef (oh, the heck with it, my sins go on: I'm doing this in Windows), but does anyone have experience with recent releases of JabRef?
In particular, when upgrading it on Windows, is it necessary to uninstall it? Is that recommended, or does that also risk mangling any reference files? For some reason it's not picking up on the location of Java, and I'd rather re-install JabRef than Java.
C:\>java -version java version "1.6.0_27" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_27-b07) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.2-b06, mixed mode)
I forgot to mention that I used to use JabRef quite regularly, until about a month or so ago, and somewhere along the line I recently upgraded something or other that must've updated Java.
I know I'm going to hell for being late to migrate everything off of Windows, but encountering a Java / JabRef / Windows issue when finishing references in a nearly completed paper is my introduction to hell. :)
One would think that any program using Java would not do that (given the widespread usage of environment variables to set JAVA_HOME, classpaths, etc.), but I've found that all too often bad practices persist.
That's what I'm guessing. I've already backed everything up... I'm surprised I can't reconfigure JabRef outside of the program, to point it to the correct Java location.
Looks good. I will have to try that at some point. I seem to switch every few years, though I've been stuck on LyX for awhile. It has been great, except when I need to use style files, which means I still have to use a LaTeX editor to polish things up.
Hmm, reinstalled JabRef, didn't find Java. Okay, time to find out why Java isn't showing up. Seems something eliminated JAVA_HOME and the CLASS_PATH. C'est la vie.
I should have placed my bets on Java being the problem.
Thanks again for the help. Now I'll go wander in Java Purgatory for my sins. :)
