Learnt LaTeX while in placement in my third year in 1999 when my assignment was to work on a massive code but was only given an laptop to do it, so had to find something to do during the long hours the thing took to compile, and solitaire doesn't remain fun for that long. I haven't look back since. Now a researcher at the University of Bristol. All my outputs are in LaTeX from papers to presentations to posters.

16h	comment	Include 6 pages of a pdf with document's header and section title Does this question help?
May 11	comment	Templates for NOT math-based books? +1 for the mention of `selnolig`
Apr 29	comment	TeXcount and biblatex What I meant was that the appearance in the text of the reference changes with the style, which I think is not in the bbl or the source and only generated at compile time. I am not sure how texcount takes that into account if at all, but would assume it does not.
Apr 29	comment	TeXcount and biblatex Thanks for the detailed explanation on the issues. Although it doesn't provide a solution, I am awarding you the bounty. I guess the discussion should probably go into a package that would calculate the word count at compile time, since as you mention it, counting at the pre-compiled source level is not accurate (this is also the case I think with bibtex depending on the bibliography style (numbered or author-year). The problem I can foresee with the package solution is that it would be very easy to run out of memory with large document.
Mar 17	comment	Minion Pro fonts license @NauC No the link you provided only refers to the fonts made available through the adobe fonts. The fonts that come with other Adobe software will follow the license of said software. In the case of Adobe Reader, it is adobe.com/products/eulas/reader/x/eula_en_gb.html
Feb 26	comment	Do you use TeX for writing your thesis or only for its composition? +1 for the "check with your adviser" part. Unfortunately, some people will insist that they receive a word document. If this is the case, you may want to reach a compromise such as the one described in the answer to this question
Feb 17	comment	Activating fi and fl ligatures with fontspec for Berling font Also do not use `inputenc` with lualatex/xelatex. These 2 already assume you use UTF-8 in your source.
Feb 17	comment	maths nested superscripts and subscripts displayed incorrectly inline @HendrikVogt Thanks for still looking into this. That indeed look very promising. I'll test it out in my code and will report back.
Feb 8	comment	A ligature for she/he One can also use the undetermined "one" in one's text. However one might feel that one's prose has become rather pompous.
Jan 23	comment	Is there any harm using hyperref for a document destined for printing? A clarification regarding my comments on 3rd party pdf viewers. my experience may have been slightly out dated as it seems recent versions of okular at least respect the pdf specifications in that regard. This may still be an issue with some packages, but it seems that the faulty behaviour has started to disappear.
Jan 21	comment	Extract a graphic from the pdf document a non-TeX solution is also to open the page with the graphic with a vector graphics editor such as inkscape. you can then cut and paste the graphics into another inkscape document and export that as pdf. Be careful that if the graphic in question has text in it, you should have the font installed on your system for them to display properly. I have done that numerous times to get vector version of funders logo for project reports or presentations.
Jan 18	comment	XeTeX and Fedora: can't use OTF fonts @Joseph The problem with this is that it is not a really portable solution. If like me you work of different computers with different OS (but with TeXlive on them) or if you collaborate on documents with other people, insisting that things are installed system wide may not be practical. It is however a solution and one that I did not exclude, I simply stated that for me the easiest solution was to load the `libertine` package, which sorts every thing out for you.
Jan 18	comment	XeTeX and Fedora: can't use OTF fonts @Silex I must admit I am losing track with these:-) it used to be `libertine`, then they split it into `libertine` and `libertineotf`, and now you are telling me they have merged again?? Or am I getting it wrong?
Jan 18	comment	XeTeX and Fedora: can't use OTF fonts fontconfig would not see it and the `libertineotf` package would not be using it either. When you say that it is the `libertineotf` package, what do you mean? are you actually loading it in your tex file is `\usepackage{libertineoft}`. At the point an MWE would be highly advantageous as we abviously do not have all the information.
Jan 17	comment	Watermark with LstListing I would aslo advise to add the line `\pdfpageattr {/Group << /S /Transparency /I true /CS /DeviceRGB>>}` before your `\documentclass{}` as otherwise adobe reader will not display pages with transparency properly (very ragged fonts with no anti-aliasing)
Jan 17	comment	Is there any harm using hyperref for a document destined for printing? some third party pdf viewer tend to not behave properly with pdf documents that have thing for display and different things to printing. the most common example is the box around links: adobe reader will not print them while it will display then on screen, however packages such as linux viewer of the type of okular will print them. I suspect it is due to the underlying pango library not supporting these elements yet, but it is an issue.
Jan 16	comment	maths nested superscripts and subscripts displayed incorrectly inline thanks for the comment, however in the example I have, `subdepth` doesn't have much effect. when compiling using `pdfLaTeX` only the subscript of the first one gets raised but the superscripts are still not aligned. And when compiled with `LuaLaTeX`, it has no effect whatsoever.
Jan 10	comment	Merging several chapter-files of a thesis into one file your chapter 2 code is missing an `\end{table}` after your caption. but it may not be the case in your actual file
Jan 10	comment	itemize, removing natural indent You might want to have a look at this question from stackoverflow (which really should have been moved here) stackoverflow.com/questions/4968557/latex-very-compact-itemize
Jan 7	comment	When to use the xcolor package instead of the color package? I would have one caveat regarding mathtools. it throughs our warning when using `unicode-math`. I sure one can get rid of these but haven't worked at how yet.
