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.)

How do I get an uppercase ordinal to number with memoir class? @YiannisLazarides Unfortunately \numtoname uses \n@me@number which starts with \numdigits which is not expandable. So it won't work with any number of \expandafter tokens. One would have to define an "uppercase version" of \n@me@number with different versions of the \nNamezzzz macros. If you don't have a big number of chapters, the easiest way is to go with \ifcase |

Asymetric behaviour in user command with conditionals @user429540 It doesn't swallow spaces: when argument #1 is ignored the space is not inserted, of course. |

How to disable links completely using hyperref package? Did you try \usepackage[options]{nohyperref}? This should be a package that defines everything hyperref does, but does nothing. |

How to reference sections, equations, and figures in a separate document (e.g., supplemental information)? And also xr-hyper if hyperref is needed. |

Multiple references separated by semi-colon With that preamble you won't get an author-year citation scheme. |

Parse a file with a regexp and return first match @BruceConnor You probably have an outdated version of l3regex; mine is l3regex.dtx 3488 2012-03-03 19:49:03Z |

Parse a file with a regexp and return first match @BruceConnor If the search regex is something like ([^\*]*?)\*\* and the replacement regex is \c{textbf}\cB\{\1\cE\} I get that **Test** is replaced by \textbf{Test} and interpreted correctly. |

Parse a file with a regexp and return first match @BruceConnor I get what's expected. Probably what you get wrong depends on the "replacement" regex you're using. |

Why does Latex/Bibtex need three passes to clear up all warnings? Yes, it may avoid one pass. But it's not so important to always do all passes: it's quite often only a waste of time. Cross references will stabilize during document preparation and it's not necessary that they are always correct. Just remember to run BibTeX (or Biber) when citations are added. |
