comment Why is \newpage ignored sometimes ?
@holger I suggest searching through tex.sx for float placement help. If still in doubt ask a new question.

comment tabular environment that is similar to html
@dıʞsdoʇ Ah, so you want like a regular tabular except that it allows line breaks and stretches each (non-"p") column to fit, but doesn't line-wrap so simply takes up as much space as the longest line in each column? I don't know of a canned solution off the top of my head, but using varwidth in each column preamble might help.

comment Set up a system to alternate between genders per paragraph
I don't personally understood why having singular third person they and their isn't already a solution to this problem. I think it's far more likely they'll catch on than hir and sie :)

comment How to typset the symbol “^” (caret/circumflex/hat)
Another for the list: \char`\^, which may be slightly more robust in some rare cases I can't think of off the top of my head.
