Mar 18	comment	LaTeX with Sublime Text 2 Hm... tried it a while a go and it didn't work. Now, after your answer I tried it again and found the culprit: Apparently, the plugin does not support the `$out_dir=./build` setting in my `.latexmkrc`, which, among other things, makes `latexmk` to add `-output-directory=./build` to the `pdflatex` command line. I really do love this setting, as it keeps my source folders clean. Any easy option to enable this? If not, any chance that it will be supported?
Mar 18	comment	Is it possible to use the pipe character, \|, to separate cells in a table? @MarcvanDongen: I know that I could do this. My point is that (a) I don't think redefining `\row` per table is much of a burden, especially as (b) I often use it also to implement formatting options for certain columns (such as math mode, a surrounding TikZ node, ...) which IMHO is way easier to do in the `\row` macro than by a fancy table preamble. So `\row` is specifically defined for each table anyway.

Mar 18	comment	How to convert TeX-illiterate coworkers to LaTeX? Yes, WYSIWYM is different than WYSIWYG, but in my experience it is a lot less frightening than going directly to markup with weird compilation errors. I don't know when you have tried LyX, but I would not consider the options as too limited (compared to "Word without knowing it"). Compilation errors are rare in my experience.

Mar 17	comment	How to convert TeX-illiterate coworkers to LaTeX? As pointed out in my answer: Show them LyX! LyX already fixes the standard mistakes of "standard users" (like manual numeration) and advanced Word users sooner or later start to tune their preamble and add pieces of LaTeX code here and there.

Mar 17	comment	Is it possible to use the pipe character, \|, to separate cells in a table? @MarcvanDongen: In my actual applications, `\row` is also used to define the formatting of table columns, which often is specific to a table anyway. In many cases I find this less of a burden and more understandable than dealing with `\newcolumntype` and other trickery.
Mar 17	comment	Is it possible to use the pipe character, \|, to separate cells in a table? @egreg: Sure, the idea is to define it for each table as needed.

Mar 15	comment	Skip to absolute position on line @AndrewSwann: Using `\tabto*` instead of faking it is certainly more elegant! Thanks for the edit.
Mar 14	comment	What's the fastest way to preview changes as I learn TeX? LyX also provides an online preview of the resulting LaTeX code, which can become quite handy for learning LaTeX. So you can edit, for instance, a complex formula or table in the respective LyX WYSIWYM editors and dirctly observe "how todo this woth LaTeX".
Mar 13	comment	Features that could not be replicated on paper (e.g. animation, tooltips) I agree with @Max that the question could be improved. The title is misleading (some more obvious answers you are probably not looking for: hyperlinks, giant/microscopic page sizes, RGB color space, ...). The technical definition of the scope "possible with LaTeX" is not that helpful either (everthing that is computable is possible...). Maybe what you had in mind is more like "Showcases of interactive documents created with LaTeX"? Please also state clearly what part you think is missinng in the existing questions and their answers.
Mar 3	comment	How to scale a dirtree inside a figure? Take a look at the `adjustbox` package, which provides a nice key=value interface to all box-related LaTeX commands. With a single `adjustbox` environment, you could rplace the `fbox`, `parbox` and scale/resize the content.

Mar 1	comment	Towards a \ucshape and \textuc command for uppercase text (XeTeX, LuaTeX) @NilsL Maybe you could detail a bit further in what sense it exactly should work like a font selection command? Should it just be in effect until the end of the current group? Does it need to work across line/paragraph/page boundaries?
