I'm an active developer for LaTeX, most notably with the package siunitx for formatting numbers and units. In my day job I work as a chemist, and so you'll see I write a number of chemistry-related LaTeX packages. I'm also a member of the LaTeX3 Project, working on improving LaTeX with the eventual aim of producing LaTeX3. To keep people up to date with my TeX work and anything else TeX-related I see, I have a blog on TeX matters. I'm also keen on helping other TeX users, and so I try to watch the various places that people go for help. I'm also on the committee of the UK TeX Users' Group. So I pop up all over the TeX world!
For the avoidance of doubt, any code of mine that I publish on http://tex.stackexchange.com/ I hereby place in the public domain to the extent governable by law. Explicitly, I place it under the CC0

Preserving (and Controlling) Expandedness @BrunoLeFloch \strip@prefix only works with one token, whereas \detokenize or writing to an external file works with multiple tokens. The description for \detokenize in the e-TeX manual is based around how you'd do it using a toks, but avoiding the file business. (I guess internally it uses the same methods but with a 'shortcut'.) |

Preserving (and Controlling) Expandedness Are we allowed to use e-TeX? If so, you seem to be looking for \detokenize\expandafter{\x} and so on. |

Can I store sequences in sequences with expl3 @JoachimBreitner I've also been wondering about tables. For that, I've written some code for 'data tables', but the efficiency problem bites (see experimental module l3dt). I'm also concerned that something like a sequence fails to provide hooks for for example merged cells or visual changes (rules, etc.). |

Beamer: don't enumerate the first section in the TOC I've added this code to beamer: it will be in the next release, probably once TeX Live starts updating again. |

LaTeX figure problems You shouldn't use an extension in the argument of \includegraphics, but that should not cause the issue. Can you edit in the .log file you get, in particular any warnings or errors? |
