You guys are seriously the best.


Insanely curious, slightly snarky, and a little absent-minded, I've been TeXing and learning about TeX since Fall '12, with the training wheels from LyX going on about a year before that. (To be clear, the training wheels are off. Banking turns is way more fun.)

My website is currently useless, so don't bother.

comment TeX Live Installation Stuck at `updmap-sys`
I will see if I can replicate this issue today - I ended up cancelling the operation (^C), and LaTeX seemed to work fine so I didn't mess further, but something has to be missing...

comment Insert footnotes with \href
I swear it hadn't before. I must have inadvertently re-written hyperref. That's the most obvious solution to this conundrum. (My brain a splode this week.)

comment Insert footnotes with \href
I could have sworn I went through all ... 40134 questions... one by one. Thanks for finding the single one I miss! I'll vote to close this as a duplicate so the original can get more love. (Although, future generations should note that there is no problem in reversing the argument order as I initially (and silently) suspected. \let\oldhref\href\renewcommand{\href}[2]{\oldhref{#1}{#2}\footnote{\url{#1}}} is a drop-in replacement.)

comment Insert footnotes with \href
There doesn't appear to be any actual linking going on (save between footnotemark and footnotetext)---I'm not really sure why; the call to \href should (by my understanding) have done the job. This works wonderfully for documents to be distributed by print only, but doesn't incorporate the advantage of on-line viewing.

@LostBrit \renewcommand{\href}[2]{\oldhref{#1}{#2}\footnote{\protect\url{#1}}} doesn't work. Thanks for the idea, though.\

comment TeX Live Installation Stuck at `updmap-sys`
I don't think so. It would be an option to simply cancel the installation and run the rest of the commands manually, if I knew what they were.

comment Convert Indesign content to LaTeX?
I would say that, aside, it might be more troublesome than it's worth---no conversion is perfect. Are you converting to LaTeX to simplify the maintenance of the text, or for some other reason? Have you considered LaTeX->RTF->InDesign?

comment Convert Indesign content to LaTeX?
(I'm wondering if this is an X-Y problem.) It's not likely that you'll find a good, general solution -- maybe specific things within an InDesign document, but layout will die, etc. etc.

comment How to open installed docs
I'm honestly unfamiliar with the scenario, but doesn't this just install stuff for texdoc? What does texdoc --version give you, and did it work before you installed this package?

comment Split the window in TeXnicCenter Beta 2.0
My apologies. And don't think you'd be bugging the developers at all! If it's a bug, they'll fix it. If it's not, they'll make the documentation more clear. (All feedback is appreciated! We often get so little...) The feature works as expected in 1.x, I presume? It's unlikely that they would have intentionally changed this part of the interface if it did exist.

comment Split the window in TeXnicCenter Beta 2.0
Thinking about it more, you're very likely right. Have you tried opening more than one document? Just a random guess, but it may be that you can't have two windows if you don't have two documents to view (even if one should view the output of the other). It is beta, after all.

comment Saving keyboard shortcuts in Texcniccenter
Well, I would change exactly one something (add a shortcut) and then see which file was modified most recently. Unfortunately, I'm on a *nix machine and TeXnicCenter isn't available to me right now. :-(

I'd welcome you again, but I hope you already feel welcomed! Please, only one question per post. Take a look at our FAQ.
