Nov 17	comment	Recursively defined macros in TeX Thank you! (Actually I was seriously going to use this >_> ... as part of my 'solution' for the problem that occurs when trying to calculate sums of "empty" strings, e.g. 5++5=10 or 4+3+=7. But I just found out that appending a +0 always solves that problem.)

Nov 17	comment	A macro to typeset a difficult table Don't worry, I have taken `\tabulinesep` precautions.

Nov 17	comment	A macro to typeset a difficult table Wow. Your answer is a nice example of what 'simple/plain' TeX can do, thank you!

Nov 17	comment	A macro to typeset a difficult table @Scott H. The answer is yes in both cases: it is always the exact same table, except for the numbers in it and the content of the very first cell ("NUMBERS"). So in fact just "prepending" a given first column (in fact a double column including multirows and multicolumns) and a first row would be a major step in the good direction that I have not managed to take yet.

Aug 16	comment	Automated overlay specification with \only and \enumerate Wow, it works... Thank you! I don't fully understand how it works, to be honest, but I'll wait with asking questions until I finished the TeXbook.

Aug 12	comment	Automated overlay specification with \only and \enumerate Nice, that solves half of the problem, I guess! (Perhaps a command \myonly that works like \myonly<1-2> == \only<1-2>{\usecntr #1 \savecntr} (after some further fine-tuning of the \usecntr and \savecntr commands) would further leviate the task, I'll give it a try one of these days.)
Aug 12	comment	Automated overlay specification with \only and \enumerate Very interesting, I'll take some time to understand what exactly you did. Unfortunately, that last restriction is precisely the reason I use the `\only` environment in the first place: I have too many items to fit on one slide without squeezing, yet they belong together and are grouped inside an example environment.
