I'm a mathematician working in algebra. I've been using TeX since 1987, but couldn't write my Ph.D. thesis with it. Sob!
I teach LaTeX at my university, besides the mathematics courses. I'm the author of some LaTeX packages and even of one Plain TeX package. At my site it's possible to download my book on LaTeX programming (in Italian, sorry).
Here's my motto for TeX.SX:
Pronto prontissimo son come il fulmine: sono il factotum della città . (From "Il barbiere di Siviglia", music by Gioachino Rossini, libretto by Cesare Sterbini.)

Extraneous empty line within memoir's list environment (for very tight lists) if used with memoir's Spacing environment (for single-spacing) @daleif I really don't know; I tried the easiest path of not issuing \begin{Spacing}{1} if already in a mytightlist environment and it worked. |

LaTeX cannot find my personal packages @UlrikeFischer I read it, but I don't see how this might cause problems. In my test, files are found both in ~/private/texmf and ~/Library/texmf trees. |

Why isn't diagrams.sty compatible with LuaTeX The diagrams package uses various \fontdimen parameters and this might be the issue. Possibly a bug in LuaTeX, but it's almost impossible to trace it, because the code in diagrams.sty is obfuscated. Use another package for diagrams, for instance the more powerful tikz-cd. |

Optional argument not getting set to \makebox through expl3 key assignment @A.Ellett Notice also the optional argument O{} rather than o and testing with \IfNoValueF: \keys_set:nn is perfectly happy to be fed with an empty list of key-value pairs. |

What are the best practices for programmatic interaction between LaTeX3 and LaTeX2e? It's true that one can use \mode_if_inner_p: or \mode_if_inner:TF for testing \ifinner, but I find it useful, especially in a LaTeX2-compatibility environment, to be able to pass the conditional name as an argument to a "catch-all" function. |
