comment How to make the correct hash-symbol in C Sharp (C#)
Both the C# language specification and the LaTeX paper on C# I'm citing (Variance and Generalized Constraints for C♯ Generics) use a superscript, and $^\sharp$ is the closest I can get.

comment Conflict between ifxetex and ucs under pdflatex/xelatex - why?
Thanks for your answer! I managed to apply the change you propose - I'm don't know enough real TeX to fully follow the answer or get the code, but I'll point to your report. I also verified that the latest Texlive 2012 update didn't fix the problem.

comment Long underscore in LaTeX
I'm confused - the answer does not modify \rule anymore, but it still seems like it did. Could somebody mark the update?

comment Why words with accented characters can't be automatic hyphenated with the default OT1 enconding?
@Seamus: I suspect that input encoding is irrelevant here. This is an argument for \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}; differences in input encoding disappear early on (tex.stackexchange.com/a/44699/1340), I believe too early for hyphenation, while font encoding makes a difference (tex.stackexchange.com/a/677/1340).

comment a5paper setting not taking effect
Without knowing the dimensions, you can set \pdfpagewidth=\paperwidth \pdfpageheight=\paperheight (tex.stackexchange.com/a/65032/1340). Setting the PDF dimensions to different values won't work well - not without updating LaTeX margins and the rest of the layout.

comment AUCTeX and Xetex
Personally, I'd enable PDF output globally (with your syntax) but I'd set the TeX engine locally.

comment How to make inline listings wrap nicely?
@PeterisKrumins, the second part of your question seems to be a duplicate of tex.stackexchange.com/q/41934/1340 (still unsolved, unfortunately).

comment Does anything like a “pdfXeLaTeX” exist?
What you say is true for the TeX engine, but XeTeX uses an extended DVI format (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XeTeX), so I expect them to have added PNG support to that format.
