Idea borrowed from Hendrik Vogt:


[Welcome to TeX.SE](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436).


It would be helpful if you composed a fully compilable [MWE](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228) including `\documentclass` and the appropriate packages that sets up the problem.

While solving problems can be fun, setting them up is not. Then, those trying to help can simply cut and paste your MWE and get started on solving the problem.


It is always best to compose a fully compilable [MWE](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228) that illustrates the problem including the `\documentclass` and the appropriate packages so that those trying to help don't have to recreate it.

This will also serve as a test case and ensure that the solution actually works for you.

That way those trying to help can focus on the solution as opposed to setting up the problem test case.


While code snippets are useful in explanations, it is always best to compose a fully compilable [MWE](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228) that illustrates the problem including the `\documentclass` and the appropriate packages so that those trying to help don't have to recreate it.

This is especially important for `tikz` as there are numerous libraries.

In this case it will actually help to ensure that the solution actually solves your specific problem.

Personally, I have often solved my own problems in the process of reducing the amount of code actually required to reproduce the problem.


A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces, then they're marked as a code sample. You can also highlight the code and click the "code" button (`{}`).

I took the liberty to format your post a little. See [this link for more details on available formatting](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help).


Saying it "does not work" does not provide any useful information with which anyone can provide you with any help. I'd suggest you post a new question and include a fully compilable [MWE](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228) including `\documentclass` and the appropriate packages that sets up the problem. If your case does not even compile, then ensure that it compiles if that one line is commented. While solving problems can be fun, setting them up is not. Then, those trying to help can simply cut and paste your MWE and get started on solving the problem.

comment Image in table covers horizontal line above it
You could try using the optional argument after the \\ to specify the spacing: \\[0.1cm] or an extra \\ after the \hline.

For simple equations see how to export a equation as a image without background, for figures see crop entire document around figure, and for more complicated stuff see minimize automatically the page size of the pdf outputs

comment Drawing a rectangle along the border of a circle
Good solution. FYI, I have seen comments here saying to not use the minimal class and instead use article as the minimal class.

comment LaTeX Template for Question and answer
Welcome to TeX.SE. A bit more detail as to exactly what you are looking for would be helpful, along with what you have tired so far and what you would like to improve. Otherwise you can just put two minipages next to each other to obtain the question on the left and and the answer on the right hand side.

comment Displaying verse numbers on the left of corresponding column in multi-colmn text
I think it is best to if you compose a fully compilable MWE that illustrates the problem including the \documentclass and the appropriate packages. This will eliminate the confusion, hopefully yield a solution that works for your specific case, and will also provide a starting point for those trying to help.

comment LaTeX Error: Command \openbox already defined
I do not seem to have the slashbox package, and is \limpsum intended to be \lipsum? Once I remove the slashbox package, add the calc package, and correct \limpsum, your example compiles for me. Please provide a [MWE]((meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/…)) that actually illustrates the problem.

I would recommend the standalone package, and personally don't see anything wrong with compile vs typeset.
