A computer science lecturer at University College London. I do stuff in logic, theorem proving, program analysis and verification. I'm a very enthusiastic TeX/LaTeX user, most days.

I also run a small site for LaTeX beginners in spanish: LaTeX Fácil.

comment Why is \[ … \] preferable to $$ … $$?
I tend to prefer amsmath \begin{equation*} over \[, because it feels more semantic and makes the source more human-readable. But I really don't know, is there any difference between these two?

comment Does it matter if I use \textit or \it, \bfseries or \bf, etc
Of course, semantic markup should always be preferred over syntactic one, but the question was specific about the difference between \textit and \it

comment What is wrong with the line spacing of my lists of figures and tables?
Could you provide a minimal example that reproduces the problem? Do you really need to load all those packages to get the bug to kick in?

Actually on your second link I did found something that looks like what I'm looking for! It's under Natural deduction proofs. If possible, please update your answer to contain the answer and not just a pointer to answer.

comment Glyph insertion
Agreed, as long as you really stick with unicode (utf8) for your source files, have a decent editor that allows you to do so, and make sure all your potential collaborators do the same thing. Otherwise messing with encodings is a sure recipe for disaster.

comment How can I import an exam or assignment from Word into LaTeX?
But you were asking for the tool also to parse the equations in the Word document, which I wouldn't advice for the same reasons. You shouldn't write syntactic equations, write semantic equations instead.

Sorry, I thought my sketch was already explicit enough, but I've just discovered that people draw trees in many different ways! Anyway, I've just added a picture of the kind of trees I want.
