One of several authors on a paper I need to cite has only one name. How do I format the BibTeX entry?
author = {Smith, J and Jones, S and Singleton and Brown, A}
Though I really like the janitorial job, I'm not a fan of deliberately replacing bits of TeX code by others, or providing images which are not requested. :(
@PauloCereda This also demonstrates a shortcoming of the "everybody can edit your posts" approach which is so much propagated on the main site. The "community" mechanisms in place for QA don't really work here. Of course the edit can be rolled back, which is more of a moderator job. But it makes no sense to downvote, because the guy who did the edit won't feel it.
@StephanLehmke I'd class this as very minor. The change of colour package perhaps should have been a comment but I can't think of any circumstances where adding an image is negative. Perhaps not necessary in this case, but we do have a strong "Let's have images" flavour to the site. The key, for me, is to ensure that no-one puts words in the original author's mouth. The comment with the package change crosses this line - but only just - and the image doesn't.
@JosephWright Missed that - not always easy to keep up with chat on an iPad.
@N3buchadnezzar Oh! The Thames. Sorry, the missing capital letter meant I didn't consider it a proper noun. Have yet to sit by it and work, but I do cycle over the Cherwell every day (that I go into the department - it's a bit ... uninhabited ... at the moment so I'm not going in every day).
@JosephWright Maybe we'll get a spike in users so from that respect, Good Thing. As far as MO is concerned, I'm past caring! My initial rush of enthusiasm for that site has faded considerably.
@N3buchadnezzar Unlike Norse and handball, I noticed.
@PauloCereda Tricky, but not unreasonable. What I wouldn't have done is add the comment without making it clear that the comment isn't by the original author. There are packages that are clearly superseded (the various inline fraction packages spring to mind) and since people do cut-and-paste code I think that it's not wrong to replace an obsolete package by a more up to date one.
The comment on the xcolor package is also badly placed because without looking at the history it isn't clear what it is better than - if the color package had been used in the original example then it would have made sense, But it wasn't. I've just edited the answer to make the package change silent and attribute the image.
@DavidCarlisle (or anyone else) is there a particular reason to prefer xcolor over color?
@AndrewStacey color has the advantage of being in the required distribution and described in the latex book. xcolor (which I haven't looked at in detail) has some additional features notably its ! syntax for mixing colours as far as I can see. So it depends what you want....
@DavidCarlisle Okay, so I've reverted the package change completely but left the image. If one completely supersedes the other then there's a clear case for promoting it, but without actual evidence, I'm reluctant to push one package over another.
After answering the first of the following questions, I stumbled upon the second one, which is an earlier, very similar question by the same new user. Should we close the first question as a duplicate?
I have been using the beamer document class with the theme- cambridgeUS in lyx. The following code is the preamble. Now, I want to insert a hyperlink to a pdf file in all the pages by adding them in the header or the footer. The footer at present has the author, title and page number. How do I ad...
How do I put the same hyperlink button (that opens a pdf file list.pdf) in all slides at same position (header bar or footline ) in the beamer presentation while using cambridgeUS theme?
The preamble looks like this
%\usecolortheme[named=Brown]{structure}
\usetheme{CambridgeUS}
%\usecolortheme{...
@lockstep I think we should close this one tex.stackexchange.com/q/66904/3954 since the only answer to this one is not completely satisfactory and the other one has two working answers.
@DavidCarlisle (Reply to your point in the interview room) At the moment, I'm not planning to write anything as I want to see if the OP comes back on my comment on their question. I suspect that this may have come up before.
@MarcoDaniel Not clear: a lot of work, and some of this in breqn caused more issues than it solved. Plan is probably to do a proper rewrite: @BrunoLeFloch has expressed some interest
@MarcoDaniel Application one
@MarcoDaniel You had to find the tools on the DVD: don't remember the detail exactly
I am using WinOS at the office and MacOS at home. But I am more experienced on WinOS. While i am browsing (via firefox), I use cmd+q accidently to write "@" mark because of WinOS and keyboard habbits. So, the browser quits and i lose all what I've written.

I am working with a wireless keyboard. I love the buttons pos1 and endto jump to the beginning of the end of a line. At the moment the buttons are jumping to the top or bottom.
@AndrewStacey Good question. How can I detect it. I installed it by ruby <(curl -fsSk https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go) and that's all. After this I ran brew doctor
@KannappanSampath Joseph is working on it. We have a new blog infrastructure, so it might take a while until we figure out how to set up permissions. :)
"It's not just you! google.com.br looks down from here. "
@KannappanSampath Go to tex.blogoverflow.com/wp-admin and register. Let me know, and I'll set up the permissions, but you have to have registered first.
@StefanKottwitz: Ulrike told me that the most recent MiKTeX releases have all TeX Live aliases, so --shell-escape will work as expected. tex.stackexchange.com/a/66996/3094 :)
Introduction
As part of the celebrations of our first birthday, we decided to interview great members of our community. Since we received a very positive feedback from our beloved users, the TeXtalk became a regular event in our community blog.
Our interviews are also indexed in the TUG's Int...
The tablename key seems not to be a valid entry for the caption setup. If you remove it, the code works. In fact, the caption manual doesn't mention tablename anywhere, only as a macro.
\documentclass[11pt]{memoir}
\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[table]{
listformat=empty,

@PauloCereda It's complicated. It works so that the user who set it up can install stuff without needing sudo, but anyone can use the resulting binaries. It does this by ensuring that the admin group can write to key directories under /usr/local/ and ensuring that the user is in the group admin.
@N3buchadnezzar Oh good grief. And then there are all those things they do to join the various clubs.
@JosephWright Just checking ... did you get my email? (I've noticed that it seems to be the convention to announce that one is sending an email here when one does so)
@JosephWright Really? If you think any of the ... hypotheses .. are a bit on dubious ground then please say so. And if you think the last one is a bit OTT! (Though best to say so by email than by coded message here)
@KannappanSampath Oh, email is great. I write a nice email, then print it out, copy it onto paper, put it in the post, and lastly tell the person here that I've sent them an email.
As the title states, compiling with latex produces the error, right away:
Ouch---my internal constants have been clobbered!---case 14
I have no idea what this means... I use TexLive 2012. I updated my texmf.cnf and ran fmtutil-sys and texhash. I guess texhash may have messed it up?
Any ideas?
@PauloCereda Just clicked through to the TUG page. The layout of the links to the TeX-SX interviews is ... interesting. All but David's and mine are just by you (Paulo). David's is by you and others. Mine was apparently all by myself.
`tablename` and `figurename` are still valid preamble options for `\captionsetup`. Lines 64-68 of `caption.sty` say `\DeclareCaptionOption{figurename}{\caption@SetName{figure}{#1}} \@onlypreamble@key{caption}{figurename} \DeclareCaptionOption{tablename}{\caption@SetName{table}{#1}} \@onlypreamble@key{caption}{tablename}`.
However, they no longer appear in the documentation; I wonder if Acel is thinking about removing then in favor of just table?. They still work if you don't use the optional argument of \captionsetup
@GonzaloMedina Now I got the idea: \captionsetup without the optional argument works globally, so it makes sense to set both figure and table names via figurename and tablename respectivelly. But if we use an optional argument, say figure or table, there's no point in using tablename if we are inside a table setup.
:5761204 Yes, that's the idea; with an optional argument, name makes sense. However, since they are no longer in the documentation, it's best to wait and see what Axel might say.
@GonzaloMedina I decided to update the answer, but without no mention to the documentation. I think the answer was lacking a good explanation, and you found it. Thank you. :)
Edit: Thanks to Gonzalo Medina, I think I have an explanation. :)
tablename and figurename are indeed valid entries for \captionsetup, as long as you are using it without the optional argument. The idea: \captionsetup without the optional argument works globally, so it makes sense to set both fi...
@DavidCarlisle is there a way to use \fontdimen to query for the value of a font parameter in, say the ttfamily, but without explicitly switching to \ttfamily? (I hope my question is clear)
@GonzaloMedina \fontdimen2\tenrm but you need to use the csname that holds the font after latex/nfss has constructed it (easiest to find that by doing normal latex stuff then \showthe\font
@GonzaloMedina but except for a few base cm fonts it is only safe to do that after you have switched to the font somewhere as the fonts are loaded on demand as used so the fontdomens won't be known until you force load them
@percusse: Well, it is 4.32am here (so good morning). I am struck with pgfplotstable again. I tried to clean up my code for double filtering. If I use your method and try to add two new columns, it is working all well. But it adds two new columns which are already present in the csv file. Hence, I tried to modify/clean up a bit. Grand failure!.
Shall I paste the code here? If you feel that it may get a place in the main site, I will add it there too. I want to select those rows only with PY under the column Quota. If this is true, then in second filtering, I want to have only those with MBC under the column Caste. All without adding new columns.
@percusse: No, actually it is not cleaning up your code, but my mess. and yes, I want this to be done that way where you gave a neat answer for double filtering.
@percusse: I think selecting columns is ok, but after filtering. Here is the code (where, I have noted the required table in the comment:
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{pgfplotstable,xstring} \usepackage{filecontents,etoolbox,longtable} % %%----------------Model table wanted----------------------- %% Reg.No. Name Quota Caste Marks %% 5001 kalaitchelvi S PY MBC 101 %% 5015 Vijayamurali S.V. PY MBC 102 %% 5016 Thamizharasan S PY MBC 73 %%--------------------------------------------------------- % \begin{filecontents}{marksort.csv} Reg.No.,Name,Quota,Caste,Gate,Gate-Marks,Spl. Category,Sponsored,Course,Marks,
if condition 1 is true
then check if condition 2 is true
then we are happy get that row
if not we are not happy remove that
condition 1 is false so we are again not happy so remove that row
@percusse: That is what exactly I tried to impliment in the above code. I tried with row predicate/.code={% \pgfplotstablegetelem{#1}{Quota}\of\namespresent% \IfStrEq{\pgfplotsretval}{PY}{%True \pgfplotstablegetelem{#1}{Caste}\of\namespresent% \IfStrEq{\pgfplotsretval}{MBC}{%True \relax } {\pgfplotstableuserowfalse}%False } {\pgfplotstableuserowfalse}%False } and it threw error. Also I tried with row predicate/.code={% \pgfplotstableforeachcolumnelement{Quota}\of\namespresent\as\cellb{% \IfStrEq{\cellb}{PY}{%True
if condition 1 is true
then check if condition 2 is true
then we are happy get that row
if not we are not happy remove that
we are happy we are not we are happy we are not we are happy
condition 1 is false so we are again not happy so remove that row
This is what your code is doing as far as I can see. So it's destined to trigger \pgfplotstableuserowfalse
So once it is in the true part of condition 1 you produce a lot of trues and falses but false stays as true doesn't overwrite.
@percusse: Which line of code is responsible for : we are happy we are not we are happy we are not we are happy? I think I am not reading the code as computer does.
@HarishKumar Suppose your entry qualifies with PY but not qualifies with MBC, then it will set the userowfalse but maybe the one after that would satisfy MBC too but it's too late since you have set it.
I can't even get the code compile let alone the true-false correction.
@percusse: Hehe, The first one with \pgfplotstableforeachcolumnelement.. yes. I doubted it. But the second one is not. Unfortunately that is also giving trouble.
