Removing spaces between “words” in math mode @Joseph, you don't have to use it in your documents. I write documents that look the best I can make them, not ones that follow "the rules". I deliberately left out extraneous explanations and context, but it's a deliberate choice and it looks way better in my context. |

Removing spaces between “words” in math mode @Marc, I want it because it looks better that way IMO. Not sure why anyone would want the letter x... that looks pretty sloppy. |

How to write Japanese with LaTeX? Note that this example only works on Ubuntu Quetzal if you install the package latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab (via blog.mindfall.net/?p=221). |

Set up a system to alternate between genders per paragraph FWIW, I'd find that style horribly confusing. It's bad enough in baby books that do something like this. If you want to be fair, roll a die at the beginning of the document and then be consistent. You must have at least one die around, right? :) |

How to configure Latex to open the last page in PDF reader? Many PDF readers can refresh the document if it changes: e.g., evince on Linux and Skim as well as Preview (?) for the Mac. Then you could "go" to the exact page you were working on, not just the last page. |

What are the pros and cons of using hard wrapping, and why is it so common with LaTeX? The "break after 80 chars" leads to more readable lines as well. I think you'd be hard-pressed to effectively edit text that was 30 inches wide. :) |

How to enter publications “in press”, or “submitted to” in BibTeX? I could be wrong, but doesn't the notes field show up in the output with the @article type as well? |

Keeping tables/figures close to where they are mentioned +1 for "don't worry until you're nearly done". |

How to do custom page numbering You didn't say whether you have a choice in the matter, but I personally find this method of page numbering infuriating because it makes searching for a particular page quite difficult, since it's no longer possible to predict how much deeper in the document page N is when I'm on page M. |

Note inside \cite brackets, at beginning instead of end Ah, OK. I think for the current project it may be too late in the game to introduce fundamental new stuff like biblatex, but I will definitely keep it in mind for the future. |

Note inside \cite brackets, at beginning instead of end @Seamus, that doesn't work for me unfortunately. :/ |

Tools for automating document compilation @TH, look into Skim. It doesn't require that application change before updating. |

Removing spaces between “words” in math mode Win! Thanks so much. |

Squeezing scientific paper to fit within page limits @Seamus, conferences in my field (computer science) often maintain the fiction that submitted papers should be publishable as-is, and while that's a fiction, going over the page limit would almost certainly ensure a rejection, perhaps without any reviewing (as a malformed submission). |

Adding a “minimum” vertical space @vanden: Sure, the syntax would be appreciated. And in the real document, it's a multiple of \baselineskip - I just put in points for simplicity. |

Setting class options after \documentclass Hmmm... bummer, but thanks! BTW, the grad school is going to get an earful on this when I fill out their end-of-degree survey. They actually had the balls to tell me that 1.5-spacing is easier to read. |
