Working on several mss calling for increasing TeX sophistication - so learning ...
I tend to try to answer my own questions myself (often with ugly hacks!) so don't ask many here. As an answerer I'm better at do-it-outside-TeX and at helping newbies with easy questions than at competing with the wizards. I've used but never written a macro that needed \makeatletter.

How to explain LaTeX to an author from a structured authoring background This link is a good place to start. The first paragraph echoes your definition of "structured authoring". Then it goes into some detail about how that happens with TeX. en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Document_Structure |

Cannot edit my document in Adobe Reader Mendeley is probably better than sending copies in email. You'd get all your stickies in the same file, and people could see each others' comments. |

Cannot edit my document in Adobe Reader If you and your friends join Mendeley (mendeley.com) you can post your pdf there and they can comment. Then you can make changes to your TeX source, recompile and repost. |

show all equals More on the mathematics. So C(average(x_i)) = average(C(x_i)). In particular, for all x and y, C((1/2)(x+y))=(1/2)(C(x)+C(y)). If C is differentiable, differentiate with respect to x. Then (simplifying) C'((1/2)(x+y))= C'(x), independent of y. So C' is constant, and C must be linear. |

show all equals The mathematics of your question puzzles me. If the x_i are all equal then their average equals each of them and your assertion is true by definition for any function C. If you remove the hypothesis that the x_i are all equal then your assertion for n=2 says the value of C is the same for any three points x, y and (x+y)/2. That means C is a constant function. What am I missing? |

Making a LaTeX version of a textual logotype Your reference below to the julia language icon suggests that you'd be better off asking for an equilateral triangle of dots over the ia rather than a mark over the a. @barbarabeeton 's answer seems to come closest. |

Split a book into multiple volumes added a second answer |

Split a book into multiple volumes One more idea: if you can fool pdftex into using an outdated .aux file on the second pass you can write a script to remove all the Volume 1 or 2 toc lines after compiling with \includeonly. |

What packages do I need to learn as developer to learn LaTeX? Googling html2tex finds links to several tools that may help you get started. You can see what kind of TeX they produce from your input, and what packages they use. |
