Though really easier to edit in org-mode and then export to a buffer and just cut and paste it. Org mode is amazing for table editing. Far better than word.
@DavidCarlisle: I think this one has already wasted enough time already. Better just close it and if I feel moved to copy my answer over to the other thread I will do that.
Is there any way to close a question as an exact duplicate and merge the answers? Someone has managed to ask two (bad!) identical questions, and each has been answered once.
Some "helpful" person seems to be engaging in some sort of campaign to vote systematically but indiscriminately on questions I have asked or answered in the past. Is there any way that can be stopped (beyond waiting for the system to identify the abuse and roll it back)?
@DavidCarlisle (And in fact of course ... as so often ... if he had actually got a MWE with the error he would have been 95 per cent of the way to answering the question.)
@DavidCarlisle Yes. I downvoted because I thought he had added a silly example (which I also went to the trouble of copying locally etc) precisely in order to prove his point. But I think I will un-downvote, because otherwise it will look odd in the long run. Though we all look odd in the long run.
@DavidCarlisle Now that you've edited that question (you know the one) it doesn't look as if it deserves the downvote I gave it. It's the only time I've ever done that but ... O well.
@kan I don't think so. What the questioner wants is some way of producing a pdf form, I think, which will get filled in in some way and then dots added afterwards. I have no idea if that's possible, but I don't think it's just dotfill!
I'm having a problem getting references in my document using Texshop. I searched for multiple solutions and already tried them but they didn't help me. At the end of my .tex file, I wrote the following lines:
\nocite{coronafe,finite}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{CoronaProject}
\end{do...
Im using a complex template to write my document. It is old and I'm having a problem. I have two separate reference list, "Internet References" and "Literature". The problem is that the references counter "[3]" on "internet References" always starts with number 3 and it should start from 1 "1". T...
I'm writing my thesis in LyX using Biblatex.
Would it be possibly to get an output bibliography that is subdivided into one section with the work of my main subject (Wittgenstein) referred to with abbreviations of his works and another section with other authors referred to authoryear-style?

In this case I'd already effectively answered in a comment, which the questioner apparently found correct. I've taken the liberty of turning it into an answer.
Whenever I have a pandoc markdown file that I am converting to PDF or HTML, and it contains a reference to a large biblatex file (> 100 KB) for citations, the performance is incredibly slow. I end up needing to convert directly to tex first and then running regular latex commands, e.g. latex, bib...
I am new to using LaTeX and ran into the following problem. I make use of the apacite package. I made a .bib file with the following entry:

author = {Rijksinstituut voor gezondheid en milieu, Ministerie van Volksgezondheid Welzijn en Sport},

Can anyone remember an answer about situations where page breaks never stabilise? There was an example and a joke about latexmk. I wanted to reference it in the answer to this question:tex.stackexchange.com/questions/81695/… but I couldn't find it and couldn't think what to search for.
@tohecz Upvoted ... but you might like to reconsider the comment on A5 since OP explains that he has on this occasion to produce identical documents in two sizes so can't use A5 direct. Unless you were saying that scaling up to A4 is better than down to A5 ...
@tohecz It's so weird it probably is serious (perhaps for his/her supervisor too!). But it's really been answered, in so far as it's a question, in the comments
Well I don't have enough rep to vote to close ... but that definitely sounds the right thing. You might mention it in the main chat room where there are plenty of people who can close it.
It's fine. I just didn't want to add any more comments to the already rather long list on your question so I thought I'd find you here. I was only explaining why I don't comment here in German.
@JosephWright It's a bit of a journey from the "naughty boy" who uses LaTeX to write a report to the sort of contribution you are making now, which seems to go beyond just making the tools you need: what is it about TeX itself that is sufficiently interesting for you to devote so much spare time to it?
