comment How to format a CV / Resume so that it can be parsed by automatic resume uploaders?
@doncherry I was thinking that I could modify this once I learn the requirements; I could also open a new question.

comment How to format a CV / Resume so that it can be parsed by automatic resume uploaders?
@doncherry I am looking for something generic, although I don't know how the sites work. They seem to try to extract information like /education/institution/years/degree and /job/position/years/description, but i don't know the mechanics. Perhaps this question could be migrated? In the meantime, I will consider asking a question about how these works somewhere like superuser.

@tohecz the feature is ubiquitous among sites that host a resume, although implementation probably varies: here are some examples: LinkedIn, usajobs.gov, and monster.com

comment automated MySQL schema to LaTeX conversion?
@percusse Once I get to the data file, if I need help with pgfplotstable (or other tex issues) I can ask a separate question. But I was looking for something like the MySQL -> tex functionality provided by phpmyadmin, only more flexible.

comment automated MySQL schema to LaTeX conversion?
@percusse it was a partial solution towards the goal, but my documentation is in LaTeX, and my goal is to update the pdf and html output each time the tex is compiled. So, I could probably cobble together a solution with these bits by writing a shell script to run custom MySQL commands and them converting the output to .tex ... unless there is a package or better solution for doing this, which is why I turn here.

comment How to doublespace a sidewaystable using setspace?
Thanks - FWIW, I gave +1, not sure why there is a downvote.

comment How to doublespace a sidewaystable using setspace?
Thanks for the simple solution. The main thing that I wanted was to be able to just make a simple re-definition in the preamble that would be only used at one time point, and wouldn't require re-compiling the Sweave source.

This doesn't seem to work with sidewaystable from the "rotating" package. I get ! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup. \color@endbox ->\egroup. An example is here Any thoughts?

comment Add a figure title and x-axis label to a figure matrix created using pdfpages
@PolGab I am not looking to add anything to each page in the source pdf, just to add text to the overall figure.

comment Can I make a greek letter extra-bold, e.g. make strokes 1.5 times as thick as \bm does, in math mode?
I used mkern-11mu in my example, not so horrible - I like double line notation when writing by hand at least - but you are right, I wouldn't want to publish that

@Werner it does pretty much solve the issue, but I'd still like to know if I can make the \bm{\beta} even more bold. So I have revised the question to make the distinction.

@DavidCarlisle I used \mathbf in my tests. \bm definitely works, but I would like to know if I could make it "double-bold".

@percusse thanks for the links, but you only posted one link two times - did you intend to post a link to a different question?

@percusse I have updated my question to reflect the use of the caption package.

comment Add a figure title and x-axis label to a figure matrix created using pdfpages
@percusse The relation with pdfpages is only that I used it to create the figure, and I don't know if the solution is in the figure creation or when including it in the main document. Please re-tag as appropriate. I don't use caption mainly because the caption is on a separate page, as per publishers' instructions using the caption package, as described in the answer to a related question
