Finally I found out what my profile is good for: I can abuse it as a clipboard!

@: Welcome to tex.sx! A tip: you can use backticks `\`` to mark your inline code as I did in my edit.

@: Welcome to tex.sx! A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces, then they're marked as a code sample. You can also highlight the code and click the "code" button (with "101010" on it).

@: Welcome to tex.sx! Note that you don't have to (and shouldn't) sign with your name since it automatically appears in the lower right corner of your post.

@: I tidied up your question a bit, hope that's OK.

I think your question is answered [here](). (Possible duplicate?)

@: Can you please add a [minimal example](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/228/1235) that illustrates your problem?

comment How to horizontally draw a line passing through a point A until it reaches the border of a node B using TikZ?
The disadvantage of this approach is that then it might be difficult to obtain a line that is really horizontal, let's say if the node A was a little lower.

Very interesting. Could you elaborate a bit on the moO? (I think I can guess what it means, but still some confirmation would be great.)

comment Impressive overview page and beamer handout mode
+1; I have 10 or so slides on some frames; then it's indeed rather useless if each page is shown in the overview.

comment TikZ: “skipping” levels when drawing trees
@Caramdir: Sorry to keep asking and asking: As I understand it, Andrew uses mid west for drawing the lines, but south west for the label. So I'm still puzzled. I also didn't manage to fix the alignment issue in Matthew's solution; maybe my TikZ version is too old.

' does nothing else than putting ^{\prime}! (And '' puts ^{\prime\prime}; ingenious definition of '.)

comment Mapsto vs. rightarrow
I'd prefer using \colon instead of :; in fact I'd even more prefer $f\from\mathbb N\to\mathbb N$, with \newcommand*\from{\colon}.
