Oct 28	comment	Installing AUCTeX on Windows from package-install You should add the lines `(load "auctex.e" nil t t)` and `(load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)` in your .emacs (I think in windows the initialization has another name)
Aug 5	comment	replace folder separation char for index Shoudn't you escape the `!` (usually with `"!`)
Aug 5	comment	Why don't \pscircle and \psellipse lift the pen before drawing their shapes? Thank you for the unexpected bounty!
Jul 24	comment	Trouble changing font size in figure legends @egreg Oh I see, sorry for the misundertanding!
Jul 24	comment	Trouble changing font size in figure legends @egreg You can change the font for "Figure 1" and "This is an ..." individually, eg. setting `\textCapTitFont` to `{{footnotesize#1} and` \Captionfont` to `\Large`. Or am I still missing something?
Jul 24	comment	Trouble changing font size in figure legends @egreg It seems I missed something. But the fontsize in caption is changed to `\small`. The setting of `\sffamily` can be omitted.
Jul 21	comment	Automatically capitalize macro output if used after a period That's really nice, it fails, if `\frenchspacing` is set though. With `nonfrenchspacing` set before `ifnum` it seems to work with `frenchspacing` too.
Jul 20	comment	How to use modernCV for creating resume in Mac OS X 10.6? I you have MacTeX, then moderncv should be installed.
Jul 14	comment	Minted working from terminal but not Texpad Using Emacs+AucTeX your last MWE works for me (on Mac OS X). But the unicode-"π" in the title makes trouble. Deleting it, or compiling with luaLaTeX works though.
Jul 3	comment	Centering does not appear to work in table Thank you, @Ulrike and Herbert. Should I edit my answer?
Jul 3	comment	Centering does not appear to work in table Thank you, @Herbert `\linebreak` centers better. But why is the difference? I edited my answer
Jun 26	comment	How do I insert names into birthday invitations automatically? @R.Schumacher I use the way of may edited answer. Each `begin{letter}` starts a new page, though no `\clearpage` is needed.
Jun 18	comment	How to change default compiler? @AlanMunn No, I have a usual MacTeX, which is TeXLive with TeXShop added. My Emacs is also not from MacPorts.
Jun 17	comment	Left-aligned text inside an equation This is a really nice improvement of my solution (+1). I found the the starred version needs a tag even an empty one like `\tag*{\null}` to work, but couldn't find how to apply it automatically.
Jun 8	comment	Why aren't my psfrag substitutions occurring? It seems, that `\psfragfig` doesn't work properly. It works, when used as in my added example
Jun 8	comment	Why aren't my psfrag substitutions occurring? @raxacoricofallapatorius This is often needed, even when translating with lualatex. I think it's harmless when you compile your own code. But when you compile foreign code then it might be that something could be executed you didn't want.
Jun 6	comment	Memory limit reached - Precompile .tikz plots - How to output pdf with papersize near to image @Jake the microtype beta on tlcontrib works fine with lualatex.
Jun 2	comment	How to hide the table of content's heading? @egreg Thank you for this information, didn't know that.
May 25	comment	How to create a paragraph header centered and with '(a)' label To get points after the subparagraph numbers just define: `\renewcommand\thesubparagraph{\arabic{subparagraph}.}`. For a point after Lysimeters add one.
May 16	comment	\textbeta and \textmu defined in the beamer class maybe you want to use `\providecommand` which does nothing, if the command already exist and does a `\newcommand` otherwise.
