Which command should I use for displayed equations?amsmath.sty contains these lines: \DeclareRobustCommand{\[}{\begin{equation*}} \DeclareRobustCommand{\]}{\end{equation*}}. So \[…\] is exactly identical to the equation* environment when the amsmath package is loaded. |

How to speed up a large plot? The question is tagged tikz, so I suppose the plot is generated by Ti k Z or PGFPlots. |

Recommendations for substitution of non-free fonts with LaTeX typefaces? @mindcorrosive: If you can't use Gill Sans, then Plan B doesn't really work, and Plan A doesn't exist (there is no free substitute). Time for Plan C—Latin Modern Sans or some other free sans font. |

What are benefits of e-TeX for LaTeX users? @Lev Bishop: The registers are from the engine, but you need to load the etex package to be able to use them from LaTeX. Loading etex as the very first package is often a good choice in large documents, since it prevents LaTeX from running out of registers when lots of packages are loaded. |

What table tools/packages do you use?booktabs is highly recommended, but it doesn't make building "a semi complex table with cells that have to span multiple rows/columns" easier. |

table notes in memoir That must be related to your editor. elatex is obsolete and not included in newer distributions since the e-TeX extensions have been merged with the "normal" LaTeX. |

Where do I place my own .sty files, to make them available to all my .tex files?Library resides in your home directory and is not hidden (doesn't start with a dot), so its a perfectly valid place to put user-created files. Plus, on OS X, environment changes in the shell initialization files aren't read by graphical applications. |

Where do I place my own .sty files, to make them available to all my .tex files? Just for completeness: The default location of the home TEXMF tree on Mac OS X is ~/Library/texmf. |

Where do I place my own .sty files, to make them available to all my .tex files? This is not the best solution. There is already a standard user-specific TEXMF tree ( ~/texmf on Linux), see Stefan Kottwitz's answer. |

Where do I place my own .sty files, to make them available to all my .tex files? It is not necessary to run texhash or mktexlsr in the TEXMFHOME tree when the default configuration of TeX Live is used. |

What professions use TeX/LaTeX besides CS? I'm a physics student in Germany, and LaTeX is ubiquitous here, too. Lecture notes, exams, problem sets, theses and books are almost always typeset with LaTeX. On the other hand, posters and presentations are usually done with Adobe InDesign/Illustrator and Apple Keynote. |
