Sep 15	comment	Are there any LaTeX packages to compute and render the diff between two text files? The question title is misleading in a way that the question seems to be off topic. You might want to rephrase it so that your intent becomes more clear (somewhat in the direction of "Are there any LaTeX packages to compute/typeset the diff between two files?")
Sep 14	comment	How to change appearance of a particular line when using \lstincludelisting? @gablin: Then you should probably rephrase the title of your question ;-) No, seriously: (1) Do you need to just give a (e.g. comma-separated) list of lines (like 1,5,6,7,12) or do you also need ranges (like 1,5-7,12) (2) Do you insist on a font change to highlight the lines or would a different background color (as in my second example) be suitable.
Sep 14	comment	Listings package: how to suppress highlighting/emphasis on identifiers containing keywords? @Adrian: Your last two comments might be worth to be given as an answer: They give some more hints about the root of the problem and provide a reasonable workaround. (Note that it is perfectly acceptable to answer your own questions, other members might profit from your solution!)
Sep 14	comment	How to include a picture over two pages, left part on left side, right on right (for books)? I second the idea of turning this into a new package. There is, however, one additional option I would like to see (and you had asked about in your first comment): The possibility to typeset long captions over both sides. IMHO this gives a smoother layout; furthermore I have several large facing-pages figures with long captions that otherwise do not fit on the pages. (I have achieved this more or less manually so far)
Sep 13	comment	node names and nested loops in TikZ `the_code >> tex-snippets.tex`: Thanks Andrew for this useful bit of background information. The `show node name` style is just neat!
Jul 19	comment	How can I get Roman numerals in text? As usual, Martin was 2 minutes earlier :-)
Jul 19	comment	How can I prevent page break between lines of a paragraph or bibliography entry? @SamB: Probably a `\bgroup \interlinepenality=10000 \parskip0pt plus\baselineskip \thebibliography \egroup` would do it (not tested).
Jul 18	comment	LyX Layout for TrueType Fonts Well, I am an experienced LyX user and willing to help. However, to me the question is unclear as well; at least I am not aware of any way to specify a particular font in a LyX layout. I would recommend to post this question to the (very helpful and responsive) lyx-users mailing list.
Jul 15	comment	Bibtex: unsrt and crossref Thanks, that was the info I was looking for. I have updated my answer in this respect.
Jul 15	comment	Bibtex: unsrt and crossref I actually wanted to round-up my answer with a recommendation of biblatex. However, as I got it from the manual, it does not solve the issue :-(
Jul 14	comment	Shortcut for “vertical space” in LyX @Seamus: Actually, the question is about binding a shortcut to a LyX function available via the GUI (which in result inserts a `\medskip` in the TeX-output of LyX).
Jul 6	comment	Disallowing line break before dash (en dash and em dash) @Karl: Wrt. 1): Even in English writing, many style guides recommend to use an en-dash surrounded by spaces in places where the (American) writer would commonly use an em-dash: [...] For example, the Canadian The Elements of Typographic Style recommends the spaced en dash – like so – and argues that the length and visual magnitude of an em dash "belongs to the padded and corseted aesthetic of Victorian typography." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash).
Jul 5	comment	How to define a macro with parameters inside a beamer frame Thanks Martin, this works! As usual, I will wait a couple of days before accepting the answer. Comment: The only caveat with `fragile` is that it does not play together with `allowframebreaks`. However, a frame with local macros and frame-breaks that is used again with `\againframe` would be a pathological case anyway.
Jul 4	comment	How to define a macro with parameters inside a beamer frame @Martin: I had tried it with two `#`, but not with four, nice :-) However, `fragile` seems not to help wrt to `\againframe`; have you tested this?
Jul 1	comment	Use \ref in PDF images included with \includegraphics `xfig` can be configured to let LaTeX render all text inside an xfig figure (and probably is one of the reasons so many people still use this rather archaic program). With OmniGraffle, I only see a possibility if you export your figures to EPS and switch over to the dvi->ps->pdf route to be able to use `pgsfrag`.
Jun 30	comment	Defining a TikZ style to scale the content of a node Thanks for the answer and good explanation!
Jun 30	comment	Defining a TikZ style to scale the content of a node @Martin: Actually, I do use `adjustbox`in my real implementation and I like it pretty much :-) I only substituted it for this MWE, so that others do not have to download an extra package that is not yet part of standard latex installations. (PS: Thanks for the spurious spaces hint!)
Jun 27	comment	How to automatically skip leading white spaces in listings @Martin, @Bruno: I have now edited a summary of the results into the question. Thanks to both of you for the large effort you have put into this!
Jun 27	comment	Listing with line numbers inside a table @You: A `tabular` is not a float, so I do not completely understand your comment. However, I use `tabular` to achieve some complicated layout - which I intentionally have left out from the MWE, as it does not contribute to the illustration of the problem.
Jun 27	comment	Listing with line numbers inside a table @przemoc: Right, I am using this all the time. However, both do not actually contribute to a MWE.
