May 4	comment	Split a book into multiple volumes So I guess the consensus is: no, there's no easy way to do this. Nothing one can do wholly within TeX and in an automated fashion. Sigh. I'll make do with some other approach, probably either restarting page numbers with 1 or presenting the entire TOC in both volumes.
May 4	comment	Split a book into multiple volumes NM. This unfortunately requires the manual tocline commands to avoid printing the whole toc in both volumes. Probably not acceptable.
May 4	comment	Split a book into multiple volumes Huh. Presumably you could `\setcounter{chapter}{whatever}` inside the if/then/else as well so that chapter headings would be OK and you wouldn't even need the tocline commands (there are chapter commands in each chapter). This is nice, it's too bad that it requires an internal switch. But no reason you couldn't turn this into two separate tex files, each setting the switch a different way.
May 2	comment	Split a book into multiple volumes @DavidCarlisle If necessary I can use this, but I would really prefer a way to automatically pick up the page number. If there were a way to just clear out all of the entries in the toc but remember where you were, that would work. But it sounds like there's not.

Mar 30	comment	Aligning side-by-side tables with blank lines @StevenB.Segletes if you want to turn that into an answer, I'll accept that one since you were first; otherwise I'll accept Gonzalo's answer below. Either way, thank you.
Mar 30	comment	Aligning side-by-side tables with blank lines D'Oh. Works perfectly, thanks.

Mar 6	comment	An even more flexible derivative macro? This is nice! But in the second two examples, shouldn't the numerators be d^{m+n}x and d^{m+k+6}x? Also, it would be great to be able to handle, for example, k-2 instead of k+2 in the third example. (Finally, I'd use \partial instead of d, but that's pretty trivial).
Feb 4	comment	Need itemize list items without using a list I ended up going with this answer because I do need the ability to have multiple paragraphs. I would have liked to mark @egreg's as accepted as well, though. Thanks to all.

Feb 3	comment	Need itemize list items without using a list this looks like exactly what I want. Is there a way to push the item left so that the triangle is flush with the left margin?

Feb 3	comment	Need itemize list items without using a list Perhaps I should restate the requirements in a way that avoids using list terminology. I need to be able, at arbitrary points in my text, create a paragraph that is wholly indented by some amount, say 3em, and that has a mark at the left margin on the first line.
Feb 3	comment	Need itemize list items without using a list @josephwright No, there really isn't. I just want something that looks like a standalone list item but requires no enclosing structures. I can present the whole set of requirements if you want, but I think it will just confuse things.

Feb 3	comment	Need itemize list items without using a list I wasn't clear enough in my original post. I need to do this in a way that does not use an opening and closing bracket, line \begin{itemize}\end{itemize} or similarly for tabular.
