Ah. tex.stackexchange.com/questions/8851/… Sort of does it.

comment How do I get selective bold in Verbatim?
Thanks for the pointer. I've read the listings doc and can't figure out how to highlight a particular part of a line. I've also looked at the tex.stackexchange.com/q/8851/5049 and it does seem like a lot of overhead. I gather that there is no easier way? This is, unfortunately, something that LaTeX doesn't seem to make easy.

comment Is there some way to embed LaTeX source code in a PDF file?
LaTeXiT appears to do this by storing metadata inside the PDF file. That's different, but it's still super-cool.

Right, but is there an easy way to do it? I'd rather just use \ref and \label...

comment How do I create a PDF file that can be digitally signed?
I was able to do it by combining a previously generated singable PDF file with Acrobat and embedding it in a LaTeX file with pdftk, but that's kind of round-about.

That doesn't create a signature box.

Correct, this is completely different. I will update the question.

comment How do I embed Unicode G Cleff in a Verbatim environment?
Thanks. I thought (had hoped?) that this LaTeX blog would have a way of just doing an eval or something.

comment How do I embed Unicode G Cleff in a Verbatim environment?
Thanks for the comment. How do you post the output of the LaTeX? Does the blog do that automatically, or do you need to upload that somewhere? For various reasons I do not want to use xetex. Is there any other way to do this?

comment Make all figures and tables framed by default?
That's pretty cool except for the box width. Any way to fix that? Also, how do you include TeX output on this blog? Thanks.

comment Is there a pure LaTeX or TeX package for chart drawing?
Thanks. I also do not like pie charts (see perceptualedge.com/articles/08-21-07.pdf), but people demand them. Thanks for the pointer to pgfplots. I was not aware of it. It's pretty amazing.

comment lowtilde option for URL package
You are right. I completely deleted my install and did a reinstall. Perhaps it was installed by texlive 2010. In any event, if you change your comment to a an answer, I'll accept it. Thanks.

But that one was installed by the Mac PDF installer!!!

comment lowtilde option for URL package
Ah. It seems that my Mac installation installes two url.sty files, one in texmf/tex/laytex/html/url.sty and one in texmf-dist/tex/latex/url/url.sty. The first is from 1999 and does not have the option. Why are there two and how do I get the proper one?
