comment How does \\ suppress spurious spaces while \par\noindent doesn't
I'm sorry, but in my more complex case, that doesn't work, as \listparindent isn't zero, so the first para is indented. ing everyone's effort so far...

comment Can we have viewer specific text in a pdf generated by pdfLaTex?
Yes, I'm sorry if it seems harsh, but the exploits I'm talking about aren't just displaying sensitive information -- they're about taking over your computer and using it to send spam, steal from your bank account, encrypt all your files and then demand a ransom, and a multitude of other evils.

comment Can we have viewer specific text in a pdf generated by pdfLaTex?
I know "Don't do that" isn't really an answer, but the lethal combination of java with Acrobat has been open to numerous exploits, and any of your (potential) users with a minimum grounding in Internet Security 101 will simply throw your file into the garbage, Sorry.

comment How does \\ suppress spurious spaces while \par\noindent doesn't
Aha! OK, I'll research 'how lists work' and report back. I appreciate the 'empty paragraph' problem. But I may still have to go with q&d for now...

Thanks, David, that's an interesting idea, but I think I'll go with @egreg's for now. The 'real-life' case is much more complex

comment Compile to one picture per pages
If you compile to PDF, many PDF viewers are able to export as a series of images.

comment What Program do I need to write .bib files and how do I use their contents in my bibliography?
If this is your "first learning" of bibliographies in LaTeX, then I'd recommend you go the path of BibLaTeX, not BibTeX, which is showing its age. BibLaTeX does have an APA style.

comment Support package expl3 too old when using siunitx
@JosephWright : There was an occasion when, for some users, the distribution tree managed to get two copies of some latex3 files, with the obsolete one coming first in the search order. I'm afraid I can't find the relevant answer/comment here, but it may jog someone else's memory. Meanwhile (for Abhinandan, not Joseph!) check if you have more than one expl3.sty in your TeX tree.

comment What license for releasing LaTeX templates
@DavidCarlisle : Yes, of course. Maybe in this case, CC-Zero is the way to go.

comment What license for releasing LaTeX templates
@DavidCarlisle : As I'm sure you've observed, the OP's problem is how to distinguish between another party's separating the template (encumbered) from the data şe feeds into it (potentially unencumbered, or encumbered under a different licence).

comment What license for releasing LaTeX templates
The Creative Commons site is offline at the moment, but I believe there is a CC-Free licence which may do what you want.

It looks as if the nomencl package might be what you need.

comment Tables together
I believe there are solutions for both of your problems -- two figures in the same float, and aligning the two tables vertically (but I'm not familiar with either, sorry)
