LuaLaTeX does not work anymore since last MiKTeX 2.9 update (“fatal format file error”) I have the same problem, and it's nothing to do with LuaTeX. It arose for me from following the instructions in tex.stackexchange.com/questions/67768/times-new-roman-font, but it also arises by going to MikTeX package manager and installing expl3 (although why it's required I can't imagine). MikTeX give the following information starting package maintenance... installation directory: C:\Users\jf3243\AppData\Roaming\MiKTeX\2.9 package repository: http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/ctan.org/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/ lightweight database digest: b5c327843d7508f1caa13b621ac8f5cb |

Test whether token list is empty @Jan: We expect \ifx\a\b \ifempty{#1} \fi \fi to expand to nothing if the \ifx is false. But your definition does not have this property. |

Test whether token list is empty @TH: To solve this without assignment do something like \expandafter\helper\the#1 \sentinel\anothersentinel and then make \helper do whatever it takes, namely pick something out of the expanded #1. This probably means \helper has to expand to \expandafter\anotherhelper\string, and now it's getting complicated. And perhaps can't be reliably done, however clever we are with sentinel. |

Creating Kindle-friendly versions of existing LaTeX documents The Digital Mathematics Library project has aims that overlap with yours. fi.muni.cz/~sojka/dml-2010.html is a good place to start. |

Remove paragraph indent from abstract in article class I wrote this with my mathematical hat on. Redefining \ni in this way is of course a deplorable and sloppy practice, etc (with my TeX hat on). |

Lowercase \mathcal @Caramdir: My opinion is that lowercase calligraphic letters won't be helpful to mathematicians. Your opinion is otherwise. I agree with you about mixed font "Hom" being ugly. |

Lowercase \mathcal @Caramdir: Handwritten calligraphic 'g' indeed corresponds to typeset fraktur 'g'. This, I think, supports my opinion. |

Lowercase \mathcal @Caramdir: Harthorne's Algebraic Geometry (p 67) uses "Hom" with a calligraphic "H" and italic "om" for this concept. The recent Bull. AMS. survey on Perverse Sheaves (de Cataldo and Migliorini) uses uppercase math italic letters for sheaves. |

Lowercase \mathcal Why do you want lowercase calligraphic letters in mathematics? |

Lowercase \mathcal The 'calligraphic' lowercase L is an ordinary lowercase L written in a way that reduces confusion with the number 1. Typographically it is calligraphic but mathematically it is not. |

What are the most popular LaTeX packages? The two questions have very different answers, and so can't be duplicates of each other. |

What are the most popular LaTeX packages? The nice thing about this question is that someone has done a large-scale study, as can be seen by following the link. |

How to test whether next token on input stream is catcode 10 TeX is not a suitable language for doing string processing, even with the LaTeX 3 front end. I've answered the question as asked. |

TeX daemon for Windows Yes, I'm behind the TeX daemon also. The MathTran site is open-source, but not as easy to get hold of and install as I would like. For technical reasons, the TeX daemon requires Unix style sockets (so that it can make a select()). |
