May 30	comment	Who wrote “What are TeX, LaTeX, and friends?” I think you should try Mico's suggestion: having just the answer "Me" would be incredible.
May 10	accepted	Chapter descriptions in the TOC, but at a fixed width
Jan 7	comment	Graph of dependencies from LaTeX file Yes, true. But again, conceptualizing this is not the hard part - it is pretty much the "obvious" way to do this. The hard part is actually implementing this by reworking ref/label.
Jan 6	comment	Graph of dependencies from LaTeX file I think it is only necessary to record the theorems referenced when in a proof-like environment. And that makes things easy, as you could simply have ref add all the references to some buffer, then when the proof environment ends, write it all out (you wait till the proof ends to ensure you've encountered a label command). But as I mentioned on the other answer, this seems easier in theory than in practice. And of course there is the conspicuous lack of code here! :)
Jan 6	comment	Graph of dependencies from LaTeX file ... and then use what it reads in to write the graphviz file line. I think this is easy in theory, but not so easy in practice. Simply recording the arguments to ref will not give proper naming/numbering, unless one reworks the entire ref internals themselves.
Jan 6	comment	Graph of dependencies from LaTeX file I had not thought of the case of having lemmas between the theorem and the proof, but that is probably not the worst thing in the world, since in that "real world" case, the proof always begins "Proof of Theorem 4.9", etc., so a backref to the actual theorem is included right there in the proof environment! And while I agree the approach is "fairly easy", neither answer has included any code! I don't think redefining ref is such a trivial matter - correct references take 2 passes of LaTeX for a reason. The ideal redefinition of ref would wait until it was reading from the aux file...

Dec 7	comment	Contest: Show Off Your Skillz in TeX & Friends [TeX.sx birthday] I have to admit I find it strange this won, when it's really the only one without any actual (La)TeX! Nevertheless, beautiful pics.

Nov 18	comment	Is there an “endproof” package? Can I ask a silly question: why (in your original answer) do you use tokens, instead of writing to/reading from a file?
Nov 13	comment	How do you place text under the union, \bigcup? Have you tried it in display mode? Or do you actually want it under the \bigcup while being inline?
