Text="In the spirit of &quot;horses for courses&quot;, is the SE software the best platform for the _meta_ site?  At MathOverflow, they use a traditional forum for the meta site and I feel that it works very well.  Things on meta don't always coalesce into straightfoward &quot;question and answer&quot;; sometimes a discussion is warranted, sometimes a post is simply for information - as an example, I just posted a proposed tag merge; on MO there is a permanent thread where people can post such proposals meaning that it doesn't bother anyone else and the moderators have a single place to check.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What does anyone else think?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd like to add a couple of points in favour of a traditional forum:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The _purpose_ of the meta site is to deal with issues arising from the main site.  From experience at MathOverflow (the most successful of the first round SE sites), these are often issues where there is some disagreement and where it is important to be sure that different viewpoints are heard.  So discussions are not just encouraged, they are necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The comparisons with how it works on SO are invalid.  The SO trilogy is _not_ community led in the same way as this site is community led.  The SO trilogy has a (benevolent) dictatorship and so the dynamics of SO are different to the dynamics here.  On SO it's much more &quot;What's the rules on _this_?&quot; or &quot;How do I do _that_?&quot; whereas here it's going to be &quot;What should the rule on _this_ be?&quot; or &quot;Should we ask SE for the ability to do _that_?&quot;.  For example, after spending yesterday on tex and meta-tex, I have no clear idea of who's &quot;in charge&quot; or even if _anyone_ is &quot;in charge&quot;.  MathOverflow [MO] also has a benevolent dictatorship, but many of the early users &quot;out-ranked&quot; said dictator in real life and so felt no compunction about speaking their mind!  So, I feel, the comparison with MO is much stronger than with SO and having a traditional forum for meta has really helped us shape MO to the useful tool that it is for mathematicians.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. The canard about forums being a disaster area is also not relevant.  My experience of forums (fora?) is entirely positive **because** (I think) those forums exist for something outside of themselves.  The nForum (which I run) exists to serve the purpose of the nLab, and so it's easy to identify inappropriate behaviour.  Similarly meta.MO exists to serve MO and again it's easy to identify inappropriate behaviour.  A meta.TeX forum would have the same link.  No _sane_ person would &quot;hang around&quot; on meta.TeX just to troll it.  Even the insane ones (and we get plenty of those in mathematics) tend to keep away.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I once saw a picture on Jeff Attwood's blog where he drew a Venn diagram with wikis, forums, and blogs as three big circles whose intersection was SO.  I completely agree with that diagram, but I draw a completely different conclusion from it.  The SO software combines features of all three, but also loses features of each of them.  So if you want the features that SO provides, it's fantastic.  But as soon as you need something a little more like one of the other three types, the SO software creaks at the seams.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But that's not a _problem_.  As a die-hard Linux user, that's just how the best systems work!  Lots of small programs, each doing one thing and doing it well, add up to a global system that doesn't just beat the competition, it beats it, whips it, and puts it in the oven to make a delicious cake out of the pieces."

The key there is &quot;add&quot;: if there's an obvious keyword already in the question, then the argument for having as a tag is weakened.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I must confess that I'm not a great user of tags, but what I find them useful for is to help decide whether or not a question is worth reading.  On MathOverflow, if the title looks interesting but the tag says &quot;algebraic-geometry&quot; then I know that there's no point looking at it.  On the other hand, if the title looks obscure but the tag says &quot;differential-geometry&quot; then I still take a look just in case the real question is more interesting than the title suggested."

Because here we can edit and keep the answers current and up to date (some people out there are still using `eepic`!). Because if someone has a question about an existing answer he can ask and get a clarification. And that's why I also think, particularly when the question is asked by a clear beginner, that we should make the extra effort to be more friendly and educate the people who will be later also asking and answering the questions of this site.

On your question I will admit to being a little confused by the claim of being a newbie and disregarding it.  Had it been _Ola Nordmann_ then I would have been more expansive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think that, for me, it is because I'm unconciously acting as I do on mathoverflow, where the baseline for participation is much higher and someone asking &quot;What is 'x'?&quot; would get (politely!) referred elsewhere.  I agree (as it seems most here do, including Scott Morrison!) that there is enough of a barrier to wanting to use (La)TeX in the first place that we don't need any more here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That said, I think that we should draw the line somewhere it starts to get towards &quot;How do I run that command?&quot;.  The problem with that is that to answer it helpfully requires knowing a lot about the person asking and their computer, and the number of variations is so large that trying to anticipate them is impossible.  I should (and will) go back and edit my answer to the picture question to include (something like):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; On a unix system, you would run&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    pdflatex myGreatPicture.tex&#xD;&#xA;    pdfcrop myGreatPicture.pdf&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;and a link to pdfcrop in CTAN could be useful, but more than that I think is over the line.  In particular, going on to explain (in detail, I would mention the commands that I use if ask) how to turn the pdf in to a png (for example) is something that I wouldn't expect to see here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The underlying principle that I'm trying to apply here is this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Maximum help for minimum effort.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first part is obvious, but the minimum effort might need explaining.  The point is that for (almost?) all of us, this site isn't our day job.  It's part of a key resource (ie (La)TeX) and something we really value, but we should (to be fair to our employers, if no-one else) only take a small part of our day for helping out here.  So if it takes a lot of time and effort to answer questions here due to the amount of information I need to give, then I'll not be able to participate at the level that I would like and the level that this site needs us to in order to have a critical mass of people willing to answer questions."

Mine, and caramdir's.  I think it's fairly indisputable that mine is the better answer (at least, now that I've edited it to contain the explanation).  But caramdir's adds a small, but significant, modification that I overlooked.  It's actually not directly referred to in the question, but the mathematician in me screams out that the _true_ answer ought to include caramdir's addition.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As it stands, both have gotten about the same number of votes.  My gut feeling is that my answer ought to be accepted (assuming that an answer is to be accepted) and there the matter should stand.  My reasoning being that someone reading the answers should read _all_ the answers and notice caramdir's addition.  However, I have a feeling that the SO route is that the accepted answer should be complete and that it should not be _necessary_ to read the other answers (though of course it's a good idea).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is that correct?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If so, what is the correct etiquette here?  I could incorporate caramdir's addition (with attribution) in to my own with the simple addition of a '%' (it appears that the debate as to whether &quot;blank comment lines&quot; are [evil](http://ncatlab.org/show/evil) or not does not involve caramdir and that caramdir, from the first comment, regards the two answers as synonymous at least as regarding the implementation of the solution).  If I do this, should it be CW as, technically, more than one person contributed to it (I would regard this as somewhat extreme since tracking down and properly crediting the true source of many answers would be a Herculean task!)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I actually would prefer to be able to leave things as they stand (possibly with mine accepted).  I would read that as saying &quot;Here's the answer, but the other highly voted answers might add some additional information that is worth reading.&quot;.  Thus answers are not in _competition_ with each other, but each is voted as to its merits in and of itself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(While I'm talking about that particular question; I really hope that the two answers are not being used as a contest to decide whether it's best to remove blank lines or insert %s.

Caramdir could edit his and provide more information about why the lines need to be removed, but that's his choice.  I don't think that this is the SO route - except for FAQs, which should have an official answer.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, see [this][1] hour-old SO thread about unit testing in python.  There three answers which provide a package, a tutorial, and a book, respectively, which are more highly voted than several others.  These are three equally valid and useful answers.  The questioner will select the answer which is most applicable to his problem and learning style, and the others will be highly voted alternatives - honorable mention, if you will.  If this were a mature question, I'd read these three and ignore the 0- and 1-vote noise below.  In contrast, [this question][2] on MO which has a single answer which is provably correct.  Perhaps that kind of question has determined MO behavior?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On this site, some answers may be provably correct.  However, this is likely to be the exception, rather than the rule.  IMO, questions which (1) have answers which cannot be compiled by a single user (&quot;big-list&quot;), or (2) which should have official answers (FAQ and policy-determining questions) should have one community-wiki answer including all agreed-upon points, and maybe some dissenting opinions if appropriate.

That's nonsense. Many subjective questions are perfectly acceptable and should not be closed. For example, something like &quot;what is the preferred way to handle Unicode text in TeX&quot; is subjective, but it's also a real question where the answers can contribute useful information. It doesn't matter that the question can't be objectively answered, as long as subjective answers are *useful*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the text was revised to emphasize the &quot;argumentative&quot; aspect, which *should* be avoided, and *is* a valid reason to close, we would probably get more disciplined close behavior as well.&#xD;&#xA;Subjectivity is only bad when it leads to argumentative questions/answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ###Not a real question&#xD;&#xA;&gt; It's difficult to tell what is being asked here.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This one has the problem that closing the question might not be the best way to go. Perhaps the question can be edited or revised, either by the OP or by any high-rep user. Again, this wording might encourage excessive closing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, there is a point at which a question gets so nonsensical or vague that there is no way it can be salvaged. but this close reason in its current form seems to encourage us to close *any* question that starts out vague or ambiguous.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If we can narrow down the actual close reasons themselves, we could probably avoid a lot of the cases where a newcomer gets a &quot;kick in the face&quot; close vote."

On MO, we have had the following situation: someone asks a question that has a trivial counterexample; someone else posts an answer pointing out the counter-example; the question is then modified to remove that case; whereupon everyone who looks at the question _afterwards_ votes down that answer since it is now explicitly excluded by the reformulated question.  This can be more subtle than I've laid out, so I've gotten in the habit of essentially keeping the edit history visible when I'm making substantial changes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The underlying assumption that Juan makes, backed up by ShreevatsaR, is that someone taking a look at the question-and-answers is going to go to the trouble of looking at the history, checking the order of events, and voting or commenting accordingly.  This also assumes that **they know how to do this!**.  I remember that it took me quite some time before I realised that I should click on the word &quot;edited&quot; to see the history - this is not at all obvious.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second reason that I kept the history is that the exchange felt like a conversation.  Juan (playing a role), was asking for clarification.  At that point, I have two options: to fold the extra information in to the answer or to ensure that the extra part is clearly signposted.  The point that I wish to make is that the **latter** is the most useful to the original questioner, since that person knows what I originally wrote and is only interested in seeing what has been added (or altered).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The underlying assumption here is that when answering, one should always have an eye on the future.  What will be most useful to someone _else_ reading this question-and-answer?  For me, this isn't even of secondary importance.  The **only** thing that matters when answering a question is: does it help the original questioner?  Everything else is a side benefit.  Of course, we anticipate that there will be such benefit - that's the basis of this framework, but to alter our behaviour to maximise it is wrong, in my opinion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This site is for asking questions and getting answers.  The fact that we learn from watching each other is what brings answerers back to the site again and again.  But what draws questioners is the prospect of getting their questions answered.  The questioners are our _primary_ resource, and so we must make sure that nothing we do hinders the process of questioners getting answers.  And I really do mean questioners, not questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once a question has been satisfactorily answered, then one can ponder whether or not it could do with tidying up.  I agree that a _new_ person coming to that question doesn't want to read through the history.  However, that cleaning up is the responsibility of the community _after_ the questioner is satisfied.  Ideally, the original answerer (me, in this case) should clean up their answer, but anyone with enough rep could do it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I feel that when Juan says that he didn't like my answer, I think he's not being quite fair!  The Juan that doesn't like my answer, is the _real_ Juan; but the Juan who asked the question is not that Juan, but a pretend one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We, as the ones committed to this site, should have an eye on building up a good resource.  But we should not expect Joe Public to _actively_ take part in that.  We want Joe to answer the question and go away again with a warm glow of having helped someone who needed it, so that he keeps coming back to see if anyone else needs help.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think I've gone on long enough.  Let me close with this thought: for me, for this site to be successful, it needs to be more than just the 'tex' tag on SO.  It needs to attract people that aren't used to SO at all.  I said elsewhere, that between the MO model and the SO one, I prefer the SO one for here.  But we need to remember that many people coming here won't have any experience of that model (as I don't, really).  Although we can lay this out in the faq, what will really make the difference is how we react to people.  If we say, &quot;That's not how things are done.&quot;, then they'll leave.  If we say, &quot;We've found it best if we do _X_ not _Y_.&quot; then that's alright.  But best is to say, &quot;That's a great answer (or whatever)!  Do you mind if I edit it a little to make it clearer for people stumbling on this question in 6 months' time who haven't been following the discussion?&quot;." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I followed MO a bit (not really actively participating) and used SO only via google.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For minor edits (spelling, etc.) I think we can agree that no particular marking of the edit is necessary. So the following only concerns major edits (like adding new information or major reformulations).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Usually I not just want the solution to a question, I also appreciate any surrounding information, that technically does not belong to the question. For example on the question &quot;How do I underline text?&quot; there is a simple technical answer. However, someone might write a comment that one usually shouldn't underline text (and explain why). For this reason I usually also read at least the upvoted comments and some additional answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now imagine the questioner has some really good reason for wanting to underline text and edits this into her questions without marking the edit. When I come along and read the question and comments, I'll be rather confused why somebody recommended not to underline the text when there is a really good reason stated right in the question. Sure I could read through the editing history, but how often do really do that. More importantly, how many people that find the question via google know that there is an editing history and how to access it? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The same goes for clarifications in the question when it already has answers. Consider [this question][ackn] and Will's answer (which currently is the most upvoted one). Without the &quot;EDIT&quot; in the question anyone coming along now will probably be quite confused by this answer as it does not answer the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For this reason, I usually appreciate it when (major) changes to a question and answer are clearly marked; either directly in the text or as footnotes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Interestingly this does not necessarily lead to convoluted and unreadable answers. Consider [this answer][andrew-ans] by Andrew. First (nearly) the original answers which just gives the solution. Then the first edit, two paragraphs with an explanation. Then the second edit, a paragraph with additional information. So it is a well-structured answer where the most important information comes first and not just a wall of text.

Simply folding the edits appropriately into the answer makes for less clutter, and a better, concise answer. This is useful to everyone, both the original questioner and those who arrive at the question in the long term, and (to borrow Juan's phrase) &quot;people just don't want to read the whole saga of how the answer was improved over time&quot;. &lt;sub&gt;(Disclaimer: This here is a remark about hypothetical excesses of historiography, not about the fine answer that provoked the previous thread.)&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, in order to be fair, it's good to briefly mention your edit whenever (1) you borrow or steal from another answer — so that it doesn't seem the other answer was redundant, and to give credit, or when (2) you edit the question to invalidate one of the answers previously posted — so that their answer doesn't seem unduly inapt. Most edits are not of this form, though, and I feel that when they are, a brief but clear mention of the change suffices.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Andrew suggests it's better to preserve edit history by marking off edits separately, &quot;since that person knows what I originally wrote and is only interested in seeing what has been added&quot;. This is a nice idea, but I'm unconvinced. Whom does it help? Someone who&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * reads the answer in the interval after it was originally posted and before it was edited, *and*&#xD;&#xA; * visits the thread again after the edit, and looks at this particular answer, *and*&#xD;&#xA; * remembers what was written and doesn't want to reread it, *but*&#xD;&#xA; * knows to look for &quot;**Edit**&quot; to see what's new.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Not very frequent, in my view. Certainly, you must mark edits when you make a major change, something that may easily be missed by a reader of the previous text *and* which is substantial and important enough that a previous reader's attention *ought to* be drawn to the new material with a bold &quot;**Edit**&quot; (e.g. you remove something bad, or when your original answer was so long that it won't be reread unless you draw attention). But in most cases, this is not necessary, and even when this happens it's good to eventually go back and clean up the answer to remove 'history clutter'. (Also, when the changes introduced in the edits are logically distinct from the previous, it's better to eventually use descriptive titles like &quot;Explanation&quot; or &quot;Caveat&quot; rather than &quot;Edit&quot; and &quot;Second Edit&quot;.)"

On _this_ issue, I think that we're closer to the MO model than the SO model.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That said, if Jeff had said &quot;let's get rid of _useless_ tags and _ambiguous_ tags&quot; then I wouldn't have had any argument with him; of course, there'd've been a discussion about which tags were useless or ambiguous, but that's at a lower level than simply decreeing all &quot;meta-tags&quot; (what they?) as &quot;to be discouraged&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think that Konrad makes a very good point in his comment on Jeff's blog: that tags are not &quot;one thing&quot; but serve several purposes.  Here's where I think that we'll be closer to MO than SO.  On SO (I imagine), almost every question should get a &quot;language&quot; tag.  Indeed, the few times that I've been to SO, I've almost immediately gone to the `latex` tag.  I do that because _only_ there do I have a hope of contributing, so why would I look anywhere else?  (Of course, if I have a question then it might be about, say, PHP and then I'll search within the PHP tag to see if that question has already been asked.)  On MO, we have certain &quot;top level&quot; tags which correspond (almost exactly) to the classifications on the arXiv.  However, I don't use that to filter the questions.  I will scan through _all_ the questions on the main page, and often click through to questions that aren't tagged 'at.algebraic-topology' because there are often questions in other areas where I may be able to contribute.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So what's the difference between MO and SO, and why are we more like MO?  In short, the boundaries are not so well-defined and that's MO behaviour, not SO.  It's hard to think of any tags that we could have that would match the &quot;language&quot; tags on SO.  They would have to fulfil the following criteria:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. A questioner should know _from their question_ which of the major tags to use.&#xD;&#xA;2. An answerer should know _from their expertise_ which of the major tags they can contribute in.&#xD;&#xA;3. A browser should know _from their interests_ which tags to browse through for interesting questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can't think of any here that match those.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One oft-cited use of tags is as a way of filtering out the stuff you don't want to see.  That's certainly true of my use of tags, but because of the lack of definition in the boundaries, tags are simply suggestions and can be freely ignored.  Thus I can't trust the RSS feed for a given set of tags simply because I'll miss so much: both opportunities to help and chances to learn.  If I ignored all questions tagged &quot;luatex&quot; (since I don't, at present, use it) then I'd miss out on the opportunity to learn about it and learn why I should use it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So thinking about Jeff's criteria for &quot;what is a meta-tag&quot;:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If the tag can’t work as the only tag on a question, it’s probably a meta-tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   Frankly, _that's_ ambiguous.  What does that mean?  I could tag a question `latex` and that would &quot;work&quot; because the question is about latex, but it doesn't _help_ anyone so it's a useless tag.  On the other hand, _in conjunction_ with other tags, `latex` could help a lot: it says &quot;much as I would like to learn how to do this in ConTeXt, I really only want a LaTeX solution&quot;.  Why should tags stand alone?  Why can't they build on each other and modify each other?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. If the tag commonly means different things to different people, it’s probably a meta-tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   No, that's just a bad choice and so is _already_ discouraged.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd rather say: each tag should slice out an area of the &quot;designated field&quot; of this website.  An ambiguous tag is one that slices out an area with a fuzzier-than-usual boundary, and a useless tag is one that doesn't do any actual slicing.  But note that both depend a bit on other tags.  Clearly, both `pdflatex` and `latex` on a question is redundant, but both could stand alone _and be useful_ in the right context.  To be even shorter:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**A good tag is one that helps a potential answerer come to the _right_ conclusion as to whether or not they should look at the question**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In conclusion, I would rather the discussion be about:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Identifying useless tags and dealing with them.  If it's a tag that is sometimes used incorrectly, then we (the higher rep users) simply need to be vigilant about them.  If it's a tag that is used incorrectly much more often than not, then there's a case for actively discouraging it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Identifying ways to make the tagging system clear (particularly to newcomers): it's purposes (note the plural) and tips for how best to use it.  In particular, if a tag is getting abused, but is still felt as potentially useful, we can consider how to discourage people from using it (perhaps as simple as renaming it).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Figuring out exactly what those purposes are.  As I've tried to argue (perhaps a bit rambling), here's one area where importing stuff as-is from SO ain't gonna fit, and we should think a bit more carefully about what would make this site the best _for the target audience_."

Eventually this will be also useful to populate our FAQ.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's a CW so everybody is free to edit. Let's keep the general guidelines in the question, and discuss about issues with specific tags on individual answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Recommended Tags&#xD;&#xA;----------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The following kinds of tags are recommended:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Formats, compilers, and tools e.g.: `[luatex]`, `[pdflatex]`, `[bibtex]`, `[context]`, ...&#xD;&#xA;* Package and class names, e.g.: `[tikz]`, `[hyperref]`, `[amsmath]`, ...&#xD;&#xA;* Command and environment names, e.g.: `[itemize]`, `[cite]`, `[hbox]`, ...&#xD;&#xA;* Specific topics, e.g.: `[macros]`, `[fonts]`, `[graphics]`, ... *(Note: prefer plural nouns)*&#xD;&#xA;* Specific actions, e.g.: `[installing]`, `[compiling]`, `[debugging]`, ... *(Note: prefer -ing verb form)*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The following math related tags are recommended:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Use `[mathmode]` for questions about typesetting the content of math formulas.&#xD;&#xA;* Use `[equations]` for questions about how to include equations in a document&#xD;&#xA;  (e.g. the `equation`, `gather`, `align`, etc. environments)&#xD;&#xA;* Use `[symbols]` for queries about how to produce specific symbols. But only if&#xD;&#xA;  the [comprehensive list](http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/comprehensive.html) or the [detexify](http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html) online tool can't answer your&#xD;&#xA;    question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions such as *What is the best book to start learning LaTeX?*, where many good answers are expected and none will be the right answer, should take the `[big-list]` tag, and should normally be marked *Community Wiki*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Discouraged tags&#xD;&#xA;----------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Meta-tags, i.e. tags about the kind of question or the person asking the question,&#xD;&#xA;  but not about the *content* or *topic* of the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Examples: `[subjective]`, `[beginners]`, `[best-practices]`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  A special exception is made for the `[big-list]` tag, which is a meta-tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The `[latex]` or `[latex2e]` tags. Questions are, by default, assumed to be about&#xD;&#xA;  the LaTeX language/system. Unless your question is *specifically* about another&#xD;&#xA;  format (e.g. `[context]`) or a *specific* command line tool (e.g. `[pdflatex]`),&#xD;&#xA;  **you don't need to specify you're using LaTeX**. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The `[tex]` tag. If your question is specifically about TeX primitives or the TeX&#xD;&#xA;  system (as opposed to LaTeX), **use `[tex-core]` instead**. If your question is about&#xD;&#xA;  using low-level TeX commands to define a macro then use the `[macros]` tag." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

In particular, there appear to be some differences between how things are done on SO as to MO [mathoverflow] [1].  As a frequenter of MO, but only just dipping my toe in the water at SO, my default behaviour is that of an MO user _because I don't know any different_.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, let me make one thing clear before I go on.  Whatever the differences are, I would tend to favour the SO one over the MO one for here because I think that the relationship between the subject and the users is closer to that on SO than MO.  However, having experience only of MO then I don't know what the differences are.  This came up in my [CW question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/553/what-packages-do-people-load-by-default-in-latex).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I have a question and a suggestion.  My underlying question is probably unanswerable (what are the differences?) so I shan't answer it.  To make an answerable question, let me ask:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; What should someone coming from MO know about the etiquette here before jumping in?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or more specifically:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Where have the current MO crew here shown behaviour that doesn't fit with the current behaviour patterns on SO?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or perhaps (thinking of a current question on the main site):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; How do you spot an MO user?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My **suggestion** is that something should be put in the FAQ about this.  Not a huge swathe detailing every difference, but an acknowledgement that there are differences and that we follow the SO model where there are such differences.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In time, I'm sure we'll evolve our own culture, but I think it can be useful to align ourselves correctly at the start.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Incidentally, I don't expect everyone who comes here from MO to read the FAQ before jumping in.  I think that it takes some of the heat out of the exchange when someone does something wrong:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Version 1:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A does something wrong&#xD;&#xA;B points this out&#xD;&#xA;A storms off in a huff saying &quot;How was I supposed to know?  And who set you up as judge and jury?&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Version 2:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A does something wrong&#xD;&#xA;B points this out _and_ refers to an entry in the FAQ&#xD;&#xA;A says &quot;Oh right; guess I should have read that first.  Sorry.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Notice that in version 2, A bears no grudge against B since B (hopefully) never expressed a personal opinion on A's behaviour.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(**Added**:) In the comments, Suresh asked for an elaboration of my comment above about the relationship between the subject and the users.

I recently saw new discussion going on and I thought it would be better to add a structure to the discussion. Hopefully this will also eventually turn into FAQ material.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, to kick things off, I tried to explain more or less my current rationale when editing other peoples' questions and answers. On some of the “controversial” ones I've also added some comments of my own (why do I think that they lie on “that” side of the line), but this is only meant to start the discussion. If you disagree or think that some of these points merit further discussion start a new answer and let's discuss. As usual, this is a community wiki so feel free to edit the text in the question (and remove my comments) as consensus is reached.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Unacceptable**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **To change its meaning.** It is unacceptable to edit someone else question/answer and, in doing so,&#xD;&#xA;  change it's meaning or intention (e.g. what is discussed [in SO about abusive editors](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/40427/what-to-do-when-people-with-very-high-rep-are-completely-changing-the-meaning-of)).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  As a corollary, one shouldn't edit the question if one is unable to understand the meaning&#xD;&#xA;  of the original question (you cant keep the meaning unchanged if you don't know&#xD;&#xA;  the meaning in the first place!)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **Edit a reverted edit.** If you made an edit (no matter how well intended), and it was reverted by the&#xD;&#xA;  original author. The edit was not welcome, don't go and edit again. No discussion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **A complete rewrite.** The edit involves a complete rewrite of the question/answer from the original author&#xD;&#xA;  (even if the meaning/intention is unchanged).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **Adding too much new material.** Adding too much new information to a question/answer, so much that the original&#xD;&#xA;  content becomes a &quot;note&quot; to the new information. (Instead of the new information&#xD;&#xA;  being a &quot;note&quot; to the original content)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Acceptable**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **Add links and references.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **Fix typos in the code.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **Fix typos in the text.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Comment: I really think people shouldn't feel **disrespected** when someone edits typos&#xD;&#xA;  on their text.&#xD;&#xA;  I certainly wouldn't feel ofended if someone came and edited typos in my text,&#xD;&#xA;  I would feel thankful, “hey thanks for that! we're building a great site together!”&#xD;&#xA;  I always thought that was one of the huge advantages of the wiki system, we're all&#xD;&#xA;  copyeditors of each others work; this is a guess but I think *most* edits in Wikipedia&#xD;&#xA;  are this kind of edits.&#xD;&#xA;  On the other hand, I don't see a reason for seeing and error and (if I've got&#xD;&#xA;  the time, patience, whatever) not fixing it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **To make an answer more complete.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Comment: Particularly for an answer (and specially if already accepted), adding&#xD;&#xA;  complementary information could turn a good answer into a [great answer](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/227/quality-standards-for-answers).&#xD;&#xA;  Again, this is a wiki, we can become a *great* reference site for (La)TeX if we host&#xD;&#xA;  *great* answers to the questions posted. And again, one shouldn't feel&#xD;&#xA;  **disrespected**, this&#xD;&#xA;  is a wiki, the whole point is to *improve* the answers given and build *together&#xD;&#xA;  as a community* a great resource together.&#xD;&#xA;  Moreover, the original author keeps the credit (and the points) for being the one&#xD;&#xA;  who came up with the good answer in the first place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **To make a question/answer look better.** For example small sylish edits,&#xD;&#xA;  e.g. turn Latex into LaTeX (but making sure meaning is not changed!),&#xD;&#xA;  if code was pasted but not shown as `code`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Comment: They might be minor things. You perhaps don't care at all about these. But well,&#xD;&#xA;  it does look better and someone took their time to do it. Again, don't feel&#xD;&#xA;  **disrespected**, the answer now looks better and you had to do nothing.&#xD;&#xA;  If you do think it looks better, well that's great! If you think it doesn't revert&#xD;&#xA;  the edit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **To make a question/answer clearer.** For example: indent code, add a minimal&#xD;&#xA;  (working) example, remove unnecessary commands from an existing example (i.e. make it&#xD;&#xA;  minimal), maybe fix grammar but only if the original text was indeed unreadable&#xD;&#xA;  or really hard to parse.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Comment: These are probably the most controversial because they involve mayor edits&#xD;&#xA;  and are not, strictly speaking, “adding” information. I feel they do are, however,&#xD;&#xA;  making the text *more useful*, and that's a win on my book. But well, let's discuss.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, if anyone edits your contribution, this is the rule of thumb: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Edits are not meant to disrespect. Edits are welcome. Edits are nice.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Edits improve questions/answers. Edits make the site more useful.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If someone edits your contribution it means&#xD;&#xA;&gt; “Hey, great contribution! Thanks for *your* work! Hope you don't mind that I tried to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; improve it a bit”. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you feel that the edit does indeed improve your contribution, that's great!&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you think that it doesn't, then simply revert the edit. That's it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[original]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/263/etiquette-when-is-it-acceptable-to-edit-anothers-answer&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And please, please, please, **edit this question**, help me make it better!"

But I think we should try to define some guidelines on how these questions should be handled by the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can see basically two kinds of approaches:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **One item per answer** (example: [What packages do people load by default in LaTeX?][packages])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **One answer with all items** (example: [What are other good resources on-line for information about TeX, LaTeX and friends?][resources])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[packages]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/553/what-packages-do-people-load-by-default-in-latex&#xD;&#xA;[resources]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/162/what-are-other-good-resources-on-line-for-information-about-tex-latex-and-friend/1621#1621&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, the questions, ¿Should we try to prefer one style over the other? And, if so, ¿which one?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, I think any such question **has to be made Community Wiki**. First there is no “right” answer, `big-list` *means* many answers are expected. Moreover, the answers are likely to change over time (new packages coming making some old obsolete, new online resources showing up some going out). And I say this because the later example is not, yet, CW. (Does anyone has the power to do this yet? Or do we still need a moderator?)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, the advantage of “one item per answer” seems that we can discuss and vote answers individually. Which I think has been proven quite useful in the first example, so most common (useful?) answers naturally flow to the top. And it's easy to &quot;amend&quot; new or additional information to each answer as comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also see the appeal of “one answer with all items”, it's all just *right there*, much less clutter, can be organized much more nicely. For example in the question about on-line resources, Stefan Kottwitz split his answers by Newsgroups, Webforums, FAQS, ... Which is impossible to do with the alternative approach.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, I think the “one answer with all items” has its problems. First, and that's why it should be CW, for ‘the’ answer there should be no [editing etiquette](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/340/when-is-it-and-isnt-acceptable-to-edit), the *only* way to add new information is to edit said answer. For example, *the* answer for the online-resources doesn't mention resources in spanish, if the answer were to be made complete I should be able to add them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But the problem is then that there is no way to “moderate” (as a community) the answers or the edits made to the “big-answer”. How can we know, from all the individual items, which ones are popular? which ones are more useful? But even worst, what happens if we all go an add all the links for all the (La)TeX online resources out there (the big and the small) in all the languages spoken in the world?

This could get quite confusing, but if the &quot;old hands&quot; keep their wits about them and keep a close eye on big-list questions then it might be manageable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The one-item-per-answer is good for sorting answers so it seems best for when although there is no _one_ answer, each answer could survive as the _only_ answer or where there is some sort of natural competition between the answers.  The &quot;which packages&quot; question fits this as it is a bit of a popularity contest.  One common characteristic of this is where the question is actually quite focussed (despite being big-list).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The one-answer-to-rule-them-all is good for when the answers complement each other.  There's really no way to compare the texample site with the uk tug site, for example, as both do completely different things and Joe TeXer should know about both.  In this case, it's more important to know the classification (as in Stefan's answer) than to know what other people think is the best.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, there will be questions that are between the two.  But that's where the beauty of _accepting_ an answer comes in to play.  By accepting the &quot;one-answer-to-rule-them-all&quot; answer, it stays at the top where it's most useful and the other answers then have a competition for second place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To work, it would need people to keep a close eye on a question to ensure that it's clear which type of big-list question it is, and to point out the guidelines (CW, accepting the main answer) to the original questioner.  But the pay-off is a good resource.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Regarding the example of adding other languages and so forth, the issue of overcrowding an answer is something to think of, but if you added them in their own section, clearly marked, then it would be easy to find and easy to ignore for those that didn't speak that language.  If it's well organised, I think that length isn't going to be a problem.  If it does, then perhaps there's a better place for it than here and we can just link to that better place."

The harm done by even very interventionist edits need not be so very high: users always have the power of rollback with their own questions and answers.

Let's keep the general guidelines in the question, and discuss about issues with specific tags on individual answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Recommended Tags&#xD;&#xA;----------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The following kinds of tags are recommended:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Formats, compilers, and tools e.g.: `[luatex]`, `[pdflatex]`, `[bibtex]`, `[context]`, ...&#xD;&#xA;* Package and class names, e.g.: `[tikz]`, `[hyperref]`, `[amsmath]`, ...&#xD;&#xA;* Command and environment names, e.g.: `[itemize]`, `[cite]`, `[hbox]`, ...&#xD;&#xA;* Specific topics, e.g.: `[macros]`, `[fonts]`, `[graphics]`, `[errors]`, `[warnings]`, ... *(Note: prefer plural nouns)*&#xD;&#xA;* Specific actions, e.g.: `[installing]`, `[compiling]`, `[debugging]`, `[printing]`, ... *(Note: prefer -ing verb form)*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The following math related tags are recommended:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Use `[mathmode]` for questions about typesetting the content of math formulas.&#xD;&#xA;* Use `[equations]` for questions about how to include equations in a document&#xD;&#xA;  (e.g. the `equation`, `gather`, `align`, etc. environments)&#xD;&#xA;* Use `[symbols]` for queries about how to produce specific symbols. But only if&#xD;&#xA;  the [comprehensive list](http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/comprehensive.html) or the [detexify](http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html) online tool can't answer your&#xD;&#xA;    question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions such as *What is the best book to start learning LaTeX?*, where many good answers are expected and none will be the right answer, should take the `[big-list]` tag, and should normally be marked *Community Wiki*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Discouraged tags&#xD;&#xA;----------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Meta-tags, i.e. tags about the kind of question or the person asking the question,&#xD;&#xA;  but not about the *content* or *topic* of the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Examples: `[subjective]`, `[beginners]`, `[best-practices]`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  A special exception is made for the `[big-list]` tag, which is a meta-tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The `[latex]` or `[latex2e]` tags. Questions are, by default, assumed to be about&#xD;&#xA;  the LaTeX language/system. Unless your question is *specifically* about another&#xD;&#xA;  format (e.g. `[context]`) or a *specific* command line tool (e.g. `[pdflatex]`),&#xD;&#xA;  **you don't need to specify you're using LaTeX**. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The `[tex]` tag. If your question is specifically about TeX primitives or the TeX&#xD;&#xA;  system (as opposed to LaTeX), **use `[tex-core]` instead**. If your question is about&#xD;&#xA;  using low-level TeX commands to define a macro then use the `[macros]` tag." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

This also encourages other users to write good questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Vote for answers that contain good points.** Not just for the best. Even older questions might have got further valuable answers - look out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As Scott said, we're still in beta and setting the standards for voting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What could I do further? I'll try to slow down. I'll try not to compete for easy questions as long as they get profound answers in a timely manner.

For this site to survive, it has to be one where the same group of people who ask questions are also those who answer them (broadly, that is).  If only a small group of people are answering all the questions then it becomes more like an &quot;ask an expert&quot; site and I don't think that that's the intention for the SE sites.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the very early stages, the primary aim was to populate the site to make it look like what is was meant to be: a place to ask and answer questions.  Maybe now we're into the &quot;community building&quot; phase were we have to think a little more about what our actions (as high-rep users) say about this place and how we can make it as welcoming as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd just like to add one thing.  I certainly wouldn't class myself as an expert, I'm just a problem-solver.  If you ask me a problem (or even mention it in my site) and it catches my interest, then I just like solving it.  Because it's **fun**!  From my reputation, it may be that that's indistinguishable from expert so I'll try to hold back a bit.  I certainly don't want me having fun to stop anyone else from joining in.  I'll even let Caramdir answer a few TikZ questions ...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(added) I meant to say: it's important that we have experts here, but they should be more like a safety net.  So, in my opinion, the site is working well when there are lots of people answering lots of questions and lots of the answers get &quot;that's just what I would say&quot; from one of our resident experts.  Knowing that there are people who know more than I do means that I can risk being wrong - if I am, then someone else will come along and say so.  And when I feel safe with being wrong, then I'll be right more often - if that made any sense!" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

If you used a different one on SO, try setting up a new account here with the same openid as the SO and then I (or one of the other mods) can merge them.  Or, as the account here hasn't done anything yet, I can delete or destroy it (not sure what the difference is) and you can start again and see if it works.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But if it needs anything that actually involves SO then you need to mention this on meta.SO.

It won't work if it's just &quot;Ask Stefan&quot; (just since you're currently top of the board!), or at least it won't achieve it's true potential if it is.  So I want the expectation to be clear right from the start that people shouldn't just come to ask a question but also to have a look at other questions to see if they're about to answer them or to learn useful hints and tips about other bits of TeX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   But maybe that belongs more on a &quot;welcome&quot; page (can we have one of those?)."

In any case, I think that they should not be fixed, but the problem drawn to the posters attention in a comment: how do you know the typo isn't responsible for the difficulty the questioner raises?  What is a serious problem is unreadable code, usually because the poster does not fully understand the use of `code` and `pre` tags (I know it took me a while).  So I think we should replace this case by **Repair badly formatted code**.&#xD;&#xA;2. **Fix typos in the text** – I'm astonished by the energy that people pour into this.  I  avoid these kinds of edits, except to eliminate obvious cases of serious unintended ambiguity. &#xD;&#xA;3. **To make an answer more complete** – Great answers are great, but I think you should ask for permission before doing this.&#xD;&#xA;4. **To make a question/answer look better** *For example ... turn Latex into LaTeX* – Do people really keep typing in capitalisation monstrosities like &quot;ConTeXt MkIV&quot; or do they have keyboard macros for this kind of thing?  I object to wacky capitalisation of brand names - no one is paying me to make their products stand out in my writing - and if I know why Tex has its funny typesetting, isn't it actually incorrect to render the contents of the macro `\LaTeX` LaTeX, rather than L&lt;sup&gt;A&lt;/sup&gt;T&lt;sub&gt;E&lt;/sub&gt;X?  No, that's not right either...  I'm not otherwise concerned about this point. &#xD;&#xA;5. **To make a question/answer clearer** ... *These are probably the most controversial* – A high proportion of my hundreds of edits to non-CW posts on SO were to questions that were asked, mostly by non-native speakers, that I did not fully understand the first time I read.  Typically these edits were far from conservative, often involving a complete rewriting of the question, and inserting or replacing the first sentence by a new sentence bring to the top a summary of the information.  I don't recall anyone ever having objected to my edits, and I do think they made a difference to the number, if not quality, of answers received (these were often questions that had lain about unanswered for days, and received answers only after my edit).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  With answers, I don't think editing for clarity is so important.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two further points: first, in my opinion, repairing formatting of code, and making questions clearer are what make editing non-CW posts worthwhile.  Otherwise, I think we would be better off disabling the feature.  These two points should be first&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Second, be clear in your edit summary as to what the benefit of your edit is.  If you can't quickly type in a few words making this clear, perhaps the edit isn't worthwhile.  &quot;Make question clearer &amp; more attractive to answerers&quot; is maybe actually nice for a non-native speaker of English to read in an edit summary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

If we tag all qns concerned with class files [documentclass], then a simple question about making hyperlinks in references conform to a style where the user might have a problem with a conflict between the {apa} package and {apacite} might have six or more obviously desirable tags: e.g., in this case [apa apacite apa-manual documentclass hyperref references style-guides].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2642/using-ama-reference-style-while-using-the-achemso-sty&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2628/how-to-apa-6th-in-latex/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2050/biblatex-mla-for-official-reports-and-websites " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

If you don't include a fully compile-able excerpt, then not many people would have the incentive to fill in the missing bits to have it compiled and examined.

Most of the time it's important what other packages are you using, which compiler do you use (latex, pdfLaTeX, XeTeX, or something completely different), and so on. Narrowing down the problem to a small portion of the code helps a lot in debugging. This is an important principle in software testing as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And when people ask for &quot;minimum working example&quot;, they mean an example that can be compiled without modifications.

Otherwise, it's hard to know even where to start.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;MindCorrosive's first point is a very important one: people who answer questions are doing so from their own time and own resources with no real thought of reward (other than to make this a great site from which they will, hopefully, benefit).  So when you ask a question, you are asking someone to do your work for you.  That's the point of the site, so that is not meant as a disincentive to asking a question, but is intended as guidance on why we ask for questions to be as detailed and complete as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Take, for example, [this question on MO](http://mathoverflow.net/questions/40291/operad-automorphism).  There's no context, no background, no motivation.  Why should I even try to understand the question, let alone provide an answer?  Contrast that with [this one](http://mathoverflow.net/questions/35868/fundamental-group-of-lie-groups).  It's not much longer, but explains the context and background and shows what led the person to ask the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So we **encourage** MWEs because it makes it easier to answer the question, and experience has taught us that questions with MWEs get better and quicker answers than those without.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To answer your point about SO, the inhabitants of SO are, by and large, people whose jobs involve programming.  If I'm typical of the users here, then this is not true here.  I think I know a bit about LaTeX and some of the things, but it's not **directly** part of my job so often the things I've found out are as a result of just tinkering.  So if you want me (and people like me) to help you, you need to phrase your question in such a way that I can look at it using that method: just tinkering.

If you don't include a fully compile-able excerpt, then not many people would have the incentive to fill in the missing bits to have it compiled and examined. This is a courtesy to the others, since all people here are donating from their free time to contribute. Besides, this lowers the barrier of entry for people to give it a shot -- if I see a full example, I can  simply copy/paste it quickly before I've even examined it, just to see what happens, and proceed to debug it from there.&#xD;&#xA; - And second, but not less important, the technical reason -- there are many TeX distributions and packages, each with their quirks and idiosyn-crazy-es. Most of the time it's important what other packages are you using, which compiler do you use (latex, pdfLaTeX, XeTeX, or something completely different), and so on. Narrowing down the problem to a small portion of the code helps a lot in debugging. This is an important principle in software testing as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And when people ask for &quot;minimum working example&quot;, they mean an example that can be compiled without modifications. That is -- add the relevant preamble stuff, narrow down the packages that seem to be the problem, etc. Most of the times preparing a minimum example will actually help you see the problem for yourself."

The reason I raise the point is that on the first answer I received on this site, I saw the package and thought &quot;Hmmm, that must be doing what I want, and I bet the rest of that stuff is filler just to make this a complete example.&quot;  Fortunately, rather than jumping to insert `\lipsum` calls throughout my document, I looked up the `lipsum` package first, and then I realized what the real content of the answer is.  All I'm saying is you could instead just literally type &quot;Some filler text here.&quot; instead, or at least put a parenthetical statement at the end of your answer saying something like &quot;(the `lipsum` package is just for generating filler text)&quot;.  (Alternatively, you could just put `%generates filler text` above the `\includepackage` command or something)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, my point is not that this confuses me or even most people who would read this particular question, but casual nonmembers reaching this site from Google could end up on hour-long detours because of it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks for all of the discussion. (Also, I agree this is not really all that big of a deal; just thought I'd throw my opinion out there)." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

And this was causing a situation where most questions were miss-tagged as “latex” even when they didn't have anything specific about LaTeX, even worst, for some questions “latex” was the only tag given which was kind of useless.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then there was the idea of introducing the tag “latex-general” for things that are *really* LaTeX, but I'm starting to worry that new users will also often misuse this tag all the same.

Certainly, there is no 'LaTeX-by-default' policy.  So #6 is out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's worth thinking for a minute about who is the target audience for tex.sx.  Maybe this is worth a question of its own, but let me outline my thoughts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The real hard-core TeX users (of whatever variant), already know how to find stuff and are on all the mailing lists.  The slightly savvy ones are similarly fairly used to finding out information via CTAN or search engines or whatever.  Also, more computer-wise users don't shy away from joining mailing lists and so forth, and there are plenty of those on TeX and friends.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But there are loads of people out there who use TeX and friends in their jobs, but not as the front-line component.  So they come up against stuff now and then, but not often enough to warrant joining a mailing list and wading through all the other 1000 questions.  So they find a hack, they pad their document with `~`s to get the spacing right, and though they know it isn't right, it's not important enough to spend a long time trying to work out the right way to do it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Those are the people that tex.sx should be aiming at because of the low barrier-to-entry of tex.sx, and the fact that people can &quot;come for the answer, stay for the questions&quot;.  You don't have to wade through everyone else's questions, or length discussions on the merits or otherwise of LaTeX versus ConTeXt.  The SE engine is perfect for this lot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But to most of them, TeX _is_ LaTeX.  So we assume &quot;latex by default&quot; simply because that's the assumption of most people coming in.  And they don't want to be browbeaten with people insisting that they Get It Right.  But if someone comes along and says, &quot;I know you asked about LaTeX, but here's how you would do it in ConTeXt&quot; then after seeing that a few times, they might think, &quot;Hmm, maybe there's something in that ConTeXt stuff.&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So don't stress about the number of ConTeXt answers.  If you want to promote ConTeXt, go ahead and add ConTeXt answers everywhere.  So long as you don't come over too heavy, no-one's going to vote you down (at least, they shouldn't).  I do that with TikZ: even if the question says &quot;xymatrix&quot;, I'll put up a TikZ solution.  Sometimes the person says, &quot;Thanks, but no thanks&quot; but sometimes they say, &quot;Hey, that looks great.  I've always wondered what the fuss about TikZ was about, now I can see a reason to look at it.&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One of my reasons for spending time on MathOverflow is recruitment.  Not particularly of graduate students, but of ideas.  I try to get my ideas out wherever I can, so that more people are aware of them and more people are thinking about them.  I look for places where I can say, &quot;You think you mean to ask about _X_, but actually if you think about it like this, then you'll see that you're really interested in _Y_.&quot;.  So long as it's done politely, there's no harm in it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So see the lack of ConTeXt questions on tex.sx as an advertisers dream.  You get to pitch ConTeXt to the rest of us and _show_ us why we should switch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Just realised I wrote &quot;you&quot; a lot, but the question was asked by Caramdir who confesses ignorance.

One reason is when an old question where votes were acquired gets deleted. This won’t immediately reflect on the real-time reputation count (stored in the database). There are some other operations which may similarly modify the reputation without updating the database-based count.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason for this behaviour, as far as I understand it, is pure performance. Since the Stack Exchange software is a web application, it (usually) only runs whenever a user requests a website from it. This should of course be responsive. Performing time-intensive operations such as deleting a question and updating all its related database rows would directly reflect on the website’s response time, which is not what users want.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the time-consuming tasks are deferred, instead only a perfunctory delete (or whatever) is performed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I understand correctly, the Stack Exchange team is currently trying to fix this behaviour by running such time-consuming tasks either in a background thread or on an unconnected service on the server."

Hence, the official rules, with thanks to Hendrik, as [described by Roger Pate][2]:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   1. Notifications apply to the author, commenters, and editors of the question or answer that you are commenting on—users not in that list cannot be notified. The question and answers are all considered independently. For example, if Alice was the author of, commented on, or edited the question or her answer, then you cannot notify her by commenting on Bob's answer (unless Alice also participated in that answer), and vice versa.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   2. You must include @name, where name is a reasonable match to a user's current display name. Users who have not set a display name in their profile are not notified.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   3. There must be a starts-with, case-insensitive match of at least three characters in the display name. This means @a and @ab will never match anyone and users with a display name less than three characters long are unnotifiable. If there are more than three characters in @name, then all given characters must match (neither @alix nor @aliceinwonderland will match user Alice).&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   4. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if five people named John are participating, writing hey @john, have you considered apples? will match the most recent John. (Use the next rule to differentiate.)&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   5. Spaces are removed from the display names for matching purposes, so to match Peter Smith you may use @pet, @peter, @peters, or @petersmith. The last two are useful if Peter Jones is also participating.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   6. Special characters are replaced with their simple equivalent. To reply to Piëre you can use both @piëre and @piere.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   7. Only the first name mentioned using the @name syntax will be notified. For example, @alice @bob Hi! will notify Alice (if she has participated in that post), but never Bob.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   8. If the first @name does not give a match, or matches your own display name, then no notification is triggered.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   9. When editing a comment within its limited editing period, a new @name will be notified.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  10. The first author of the question or answer will always be notified of any new comment. There is no need to use @name to notify them. (You may still use it for clarity, if needed, of course.)&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  11. The notification must begin with a space or be at the start of the comment. For example, you cannot use markup such as italics. (See comments.)&#xD;&#xA;          * works: abc @name&#xD;&#xA;                o note this works even with @name not at the start of the comment&#xD;&#xA;          * fails: abc@name, *@name*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's also the case now that anyone who edits a question or answer is on the list of people who are considered possible matches for notification.

Then all my hackery is for nothing.  Except that it's not, I'll've learnt something by doing the hack, and there's a sizeable chance that there _isn't_ such a package, and even if there is if the person needs an answer Right Now then waiting for Package Right to come along may take too long.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I make it a personal policy to vote up &quot;hacks&quot; even when a later answer supersedes them.  If we get to the point where we're all waiting for an &quot;Expert&quot; to drop by then the site will stagnate and die.  But when an expert _does_ drop by with what is without-doubt the right answer, then we commiserate with the unlucky loser and say, &quot;Better luck next time&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would say that you should only accept the answer **after** the update is on CTAN!  If it doesn't get updated in time, lockstep gets the bounty as that's the most _usable_ solution at the time that the bounty is awarded.

Now, this poses a challenge if there is a need to send a message directly to a user. The only way is to do so 'in public', say as a comment to a question. How do people feel this should be handled?

I think we're all quite excited at the prospect of &quot;graduating&quot;.  I'm equally sure that you'll get lots of opinions on design since, as you saw, good design goes right to the heart of what TeX is about.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first thing that springs to mind is the name and logo.  We're down-playing the &quot;LaTeX&quot; in the title a bit.  In brief, although the majority of the questions tend to be LaTeX-oriented, we definitely don't want to give the impression that LaTeX is the _only_ TeX-extension allowed.  So since LaTeX is the de facto default, it's important not to make it the de jure default as well as that could easily lead to this site being LaTeX-only and that is definitely not what we want.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I would go for just {TeX} for the Logo (could the &quot;TeX&quot; be typeset correctly as well?).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd also like to say that I do like the idea of using the &quot;special characters&quot; as part of the design.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, just my first thoughts.

People also suggested TikZ as a source of inspiration, in particular I would recommend to have a look at the [TikZ Manual](http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/pgf.html) and the [TeXample.net](http://www.texample.net/) website.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A serif font for the logo, title, headings, etc. is a very good idea. But for the particular font used in the body of the site, people seemed to be keen on having a sans-serif font because it does tend to look better on screen, while serif fonts usually look better when printed on paper. I think that the “classic” think about TeX is not necessarily the use of serif fonts, but its obsession about the correct use of typography for clarity and ease of reading. There were suggestions about using Helvetica, but also concerns about the font (or decent alternatives) being available on most web browsers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, about the logo, most people seemed to like [TeXnique](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/519/write-an-elevator-pitch-tagline), or something along those lines, to identify the site. What about having something like `{TeX}nique` or `{TeXnique}`? And indeed, please don't use LaTeX in the logo/title because we want the site to be open and welcoming to people using any format and not just LaTeX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I also like the idea of letter-pressed effects in the title, headings."

Something like Zapfino Ink (rom http://www.stepinsidedesign.com/STEP/Article/28799/):&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;is attractive, and the swashes and flourishes are showy, but it makes me wonder if there is a danger that this kind of thing would make the site look somewhat antique and not being all that focussed on precision?  This seems to be a danger with any of the more flowery fonts.  Fitting the serif theme is the very modern Linotype Didot (from http://www.linotype.com/13354/linotypedidotroman-font.html):&#xD;&#xA;![alt text][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Linotype Didot is somewhat reminiscent, to me at least, of Knuth's Computer Modern, but with the decorative elements being more bold where CM can be a bit fussy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think serif is probably alright, but might Zapf's not-very-serif Optima work?

I'm [Jin][1], and I'll be working on the designs for the Stack Exchange sites as they graduate from the beta phase. Each site will have its own unique theme that will reflect its topic. However, all sites will share quite a bit of common elements so they feel like they're part of the Stack Exchange family.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've started brainstorming about the design for the TeX/LaTex site. I thought about going with a minimalist design like I did with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://stats.stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;statistics site&lt;/a&gt;, but as I research deeper on the subject of TeX/LaTex, I feel a different design may be more appropriate. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to [Wiki entry][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;When the first volume of Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming was published in 1969, it was typeset using hot metal type set by a Monotype Corporation typecaster with a hot metal typesetting machine from the 19th century which produced a &quot;good classic style&quot; appreciated by Knuth.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;The letters of the name are meant to represent the capital Greek letters tau, epsilon, and chi, as TeX is an abbreviation of τέχνη (ΤΕΧΝΗ – technē), Greek for both &quot;art&quot; and &quot;craft&quot;, which is also the root word of technical.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think that the overall design should give a &quot;Good Classic Style&quot; feel, while the content area is clean and easily readable. The more visually heavy sections would be in the header to offset the text heavy content section. Some visual elements I think that will  convey the feel: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Vintage paper texture&#xD;&#xA; - Letter-pressed effects&#xD;&#xA; - Serif typeface&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe this look works well because it pays homage to ancient typesetting techniques that paved the way, and make this site stands out from the rest of the TeX/LaTex sites design wise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the logo, I'm thinking about using curly brackets around the logo type, for example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;{TeX/LaTex}, and the favicon/Appple-touch icons would simply be a stylized &quot;{ }&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please let me know if you have any thoughts on the design direction I'm going with. I'm hoping to launch the final site very soon, so early grats!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;H2&gt;Update: Design &lt;/H2&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thank you for all the helpful suggestions. Here's the initial design. While it doesn't have all the site element and details, it should give you an idea of the over all look and feel.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*click on image to see full resolution version.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/c5zLy.jpg&quot;&gt;![alt text][3]&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the logo typeface, I used [Hoelfer Text][4]. Charles was right about my original choice of Trajan being too thin for the &quot;E.&quot; The serif for the main navigation links, section header text and question titles is [Palatino][5](Georgia for fallback in CSS). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The header background image is a montage of various shapes and equations produced by TeX. (Fourier Transform, Euler's Identity to name a few). I'm using them very very faintly. I want people to know they're there, but not get in the way. I also think the faint coloring works well against the paper texture. The serif typefaces and white space provide the beauty, and the subtle geometric shapes signify precision.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The overall color palette is a warm one. I feel it works well with classic look.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The rest of the page design is pretty straight forward. It has much familiarity from the Beta Sketchy theme, so existing users don't have to relearn the UI. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;del&gt;What's not shown is the Question page. It will have the same &quot;shell&quot; as the homepage. The Question/Answer/Comment body text will be a sans-serif font. I'm thinking about Helvetica Neue with Tahoma for fall back.&lt;/del&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Update 2: Question Page Design&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/uV1YK.jpg&quot;&gt;![alt text][6]&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I decided to go with Lucida for the sans-serif typeface choice instead of Helvetica in the previous Homepage mockup, with Tohama for fallback. As @lockstep pointed out, Helvetica is a bit overused, plus I feel Lucida mixes better with Palatino. I made the lines in the badge icons fainter, as Charles suggested. The goal for the Question page is to be clean and readable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please let me know what you think. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/07/our-designer-in-residence-jin-yang/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/c5zLy.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.typography.com/fonts/font_overview.php?productLineID=100010&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palatino&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/uV1YK.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I didn't know I'd gotten the Enthusiast badge!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. I find the geometric shapes behind the {TeX} a bit crowded.

There's a little bit of inconsistency in the faint equations on that banner.  The Fourier Series one uses italics but the others are typeset in upright shape.  Most TeX output puts the mathematics in italic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. I'm _definitely_ unhappy with the statement of the Fourier Series!

Although there are many people on this forum who know much more than I do about the inner workings of *TeX, I doubt that there are many who have actually transitioned as many people as I have from, say, MS Word to *TeX. Our lab instituted a policy 5 years ago that all documents we produce are LaTeX documents. It fell on me to make this happen since I was the only one who knew LaTeX. I developed a system of gradual immersion whose goal was to make the learning curve as flat as possible. This meant tons of cutting and pasting and almost no understanding and learning *at first.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's the key. Make them LaTeX *users* first, and later LaTeX programmers. Users don't have to understand, they just have to know what to cut and paste where. Here's the typical transition flow:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1) horror at having to abandon Word and having to learn a (gasp!) programming language.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2) relief that most of the work has been done for them and all they have to do is write stuff, cut and paste some code for some things like figures and tables, and learn some basic math commands which he can find on the lab wiki easily.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3) amazement at how beautiful their doc looks, and how really *easy* it turned out to be. They just, basically, write text. They realize how much time they used to spend screwing with the formatting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4) the desire to do something beyond what they know, so I teach them some basic macro programming. This is where most start to really like *TeX. Suddenly they're programmers. Many start writing macros relentlessly for every little thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5) They've reached a competency level where they feel easy about using *TeX and will tell others that it's not that hard, and the docs look much better, etc. They're over the hard part and a good percent go on from there on their own.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, that's my experience. If we're serious about expanding the user base for *TeX, we have to create a transitional method that focuses on a flat learning curve for beginners by reducing the amount of learning and programming a newbie has to do to make nice docs. It's not a question of WYSIWYG or editors or TeXnicCenter. They don't address the main problem. It's having downloadable templets, example files, and simple instructions on how to use those things after you cut and paste them. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This hasn't been done in the past because there's been this feeling that using *TeX without understanding is bad and wrong.

You comment about different methods of learning.  Absolutely, there are many different ways of learning something.  However (and this is why I don't really participate in math.SE), I'm not paid to teach you (or anyone else) anything here.  To properly teach something where you aren't already most of the way there, I'd have to know a lot more about your background, what you already know, more about what you're trying to achieve, and so forth.  That is too much information for the amount of time I have to spend on these sites.  I'm happy to help, to share what I've learnt, but to a fellow traveller, not to someone at the start of their journey.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That may read harsher than it actually is.  There's a heck of a lot that one can learn just by having someone, at the crucial time, say &quot;Go left at the crossroads.&quot;.  The SE architecture is set up (it seems to me) to help us identify those crossroads and stand there saying, &quot;Go left here.&quot;.  If lots of us are standing at lots of crossroads, then that's almost as good as having a guide for the whole route." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

The probability of me actually being able to contribute is significantly higher than on a package-specific mailing list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Wider exposure of the package: since people come here looking for solutions to specific problems without necessarily having a package in mind, it is a chance to advertise your package and say, &quot;Have you thought of using my package _X_ for that?&quot;.  On a mailing list, people have to know about the package before they join.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Other people answer questions: as a package maintainer, most of the time all you'd have to do is say which answer you regard as the &quot;best&quot;.  Sometimes you might even learn something about your own package that you didn't know ...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. You can get a wider sense of who uses your package and what for.  By looking at what questions turn up relating to your package, you can get a sense of what type of problem people are trying to solve when using it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(I'm going to make this CW as I'd like it to be &quot;from the community&quot; rather than just from me.)"

I don't see any country's courts accepting the plea: &quot;I read on tex.SX that it was probably okay so I TeX'd the TeXbook.&quot;.  The point I wish to make is that an answer on tex.SX ought to be **easily verifiable**.

The examples given are `[luatex]`, `[pdflatex]`, `[context]`, and `[bibtex]`, which are two compilers, one format, and one external tool, I think.  Editors aren't listed here (there is an `[editors]` tag though), but  MikTeX and AucTeX do have tags. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the course of preparing this question I've pretty much decided that an editor is a &quot;tool&quot; and each should get its own tag.  But I thought I'd get a second opinion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit** My comment to Martin's answer explains my rationale for creating the tag, which I've gone ahead and done. 	&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This brings up the topic of what [tags&#xD;&#xA;&gt; are for in the first place][1].

Even though it is, _do want it here on tex.sx?_ At least I can't think of any situation where we'd care about spoilers.

The overall proposal is finding a way for us on this site to &quot;celebrate TeX&quot; (and TeXnicians); namely to have our own showcase of TeX.  Where the triple separation comes in is what to celebrate it and where the samples come from.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. **Featured answers**: One of the easiest things to do would be to have a &quot;featured answers&quot; section.  Voting is one thing, but every now and then there's an answer that really everyone ought to read, either an answer that shows something beautiful or something that teaches something fundamental about TeX (or some macro package).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. **Competitions**: This would also be quite easy, given a sufficient source of competition ideas (easiest would be graphics but I'm sure that there will be others).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. **External examples**: This would be &quot;real world&quot; examples that showcase particularly amazing things to do with TeX.  TeXample.net springs to mind as the sort of thing that this might be like (only for all of TeX, not just TikZ).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first two wouldn't be too hard to do because the things that we would showcase would already be formatted correctly for the site.  The third feels the most like what happens on the photography site, but there the similarity ends.  A photograph is self-contained and doesn't require extra explanation.  Whereas &quot;real life&quot; examples of TeX tend to be included in much longer documents, and the key part of the source may be difficult to extract.  Also, many may not be immediately obvious what they are doing: getting the spacing right in some complicated piece of mathematics may be something that everyone should see, but something that takes time to appreciate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I'm in favour of 1 or 2 (or both) and whilst I'd love to know if there's a place for 3, I don't think it would be easy to fit in with the design of this site."

You'll have to add any referenced packages or other components which are critical to the compilation of the section, but make it as focused as possible on the part which is the source of the error. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If there are no helpful line numbers, (make a backup and then) begin removing things you added after the last successful compile.  If you remove everything you just added, perform a binary search by removing halves of the document until you can narrow it down. Then, post the section which caused the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Often, this process will help you to discover the problem and solution yourself!  If this happens, please still post your minimal example, and add (and accept) your solution as the answer.  This way, future readers can benefit from your work (and you can get a [self-learner][5] badge if your solution was novel enough to get some upvotes!)&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;A better response to the &quot;I tried to compile...&quot; example above would be something like:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I get the error &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     [22]&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     Undefined control sequence:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \alfa&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     `An \[\alfa\] particle is a helium nucleus.`&#xD;&#xA;&gt; when I try to compile this paragraph of my document:  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \documentclass{article}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \begin{document}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     Alpha particles (named after and denoted by the first letter in the&#xD;&#xA;    Greek alphabet,\[\alpha\]) consist of two protons and two neutrons bound&#xD;&#xA;    together.&#xD;&#xA;    This means that an \[\alfa\] particle is a helium nucleus. &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \end{document}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; with  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;        `$latex Radiation.tex`&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://sscce.org&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://theoval.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~nlct/latex/minexample/minexample.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=minxampl&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.minimalbeispiel.de/mini-en.html&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/badges/14/self-learner" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I'm bringing it up here for two reasons: 1. The problem doesn't seem to be resolved, 2. I'm not sure if the tex.sx community is aware of it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It doesn't happen too often on tex.sx, but today it did happen:&#xD;&#xA;TH saved an edit of [this question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/9517/1235) with the time stamp `2011-01-23 02:11:49`; then lockstep saved an edit with the time stamp `2011-01-23 02:12:01`, so 12 seconds later. Both edits were to mark a code sample; TH's edit actually involved one more change than lockstep's, but this got overwritten by lockstep's edit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To make things worse, I made another edit (hours later). _Why worse?_ &amp;nbsp;There's a little known (I believe) feature on stackexchange that [frequent edits of a post make it CW](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/11740/what-are-community-wiki-posts/11741#11741), namely 5 edits by different users or 10 edits by the OP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So having multiple users edit one and the same post has two downsides: 1. Only the edits of the user who save his edits last take effect; thus the effort of the other users is wasted. 2 There's the danger of making a question CW shortly after it has been posted (so far not a great danger on tex.sx).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is already [some warning implemented](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/1577/notifications-for-concurrent-changes-when-editing-posts/28119#28119), but this doesn't seem to suffice. I've got two completely different suggestions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. When I hit the &quot;edit&quot; button shortly (let's say &lt;5 minutes) after another user, the system shows a message like&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   &gt; Another user may currently be editing this post. Do you want to proceed?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   (Very similar to [this proposal](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/73924); should the name of the other user(s) be given?).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. When I hit the &quot;Save Edits&quot; button, the system shows a message like&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   &gt; Another user has edited this post while you were editing. If you proceed to save your edits, his edits will be lost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   (This could still be improved a lot, see e.g. [this old suggestion](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/1577/notifications-for-concurrent-changes-when-editing-posts/1625#1625), but my present proposal would be simpler to implement.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Maybe my points 1. and 2. could/should both be implemented? (Of course I can't judge if the implementation is possible at all in the current framework.) I'd like to know what others think." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

In **questions and answers**, there are only two (quite rare) cases where this might go wrong (see below for possible trouble in comments):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. You need a backtick in the inline code. Then you can _either_ use double backticks ` `` ` _or_ &amp;nbsp;`&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`&amp;nbsp; to mark your code. For example, both &#xD;&#xA; - ``` ``\catcode`@=11`` ``` and&#xD;&#xA; - ``&lt;code&gt;\catcode`@=11&lt;/code&gt;``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; give ``\catcode`@=11``.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. You want spaces in the beginning and/or the end of the inline code, or you need multiple spaces within. Then you have to use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, which has 3 spaces between &quot;a&quot; and &quot;test&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` is an alternative for backticks, but it behaves differently: You can use HTML entities such as `&amp;nbsp;` inside. For example, `&lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, whereas `` `&amp;nbsp;` `` gives `&amp;nbsp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think [many have suffered](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/168/1235) from markdown quirks in **comments**. Here's a list of a few things that can go wrong.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Using `` `\(` ``, `` `\[` `` or `` `\_` `` in comments just gives `(`, `[` and `_`, respectively. Markdown thinks you're using the backslash for escaping, whyever this only happens in comments. Thus you have to type another backslash: `` `\\(` `` gives `\(`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` and double backticks ` `` ` to mark inline code don't work in comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you need a backtick in a comment, you can just escape it (doesn't work in questions/answers!): `` `\catcode\`@=11` `` gives ``\catcode`@=11``. If the backtick is followed by a letter, then there's no need to escape it: ``` ``U` ``` gives `` `U ``.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Inline code in comments mustn't be followed by a letter. For example, `` `\vspace`s `` renders as \`\vspace\`s. I think there's no way out of it but typing `` `\vspace` s ``, with additional white space.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Maybe the most pestering problem is that you can't have a backslash `\` in the _end_ of inline code in comments. If you try `` `\\` ``, then the result will be \`\\`. _Why?_ The second backslash was interpreted as an escape for the closing backtick! Again there is no nice way out of it: You'll have to type `` `\\ ` `` and live with the white space being within the inline code." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

Markdown thinks you're using the backslash for escaping, whyever this only happens in comments. Thus you have to type another backslash: `` `\\(` `` gives `\(`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` and double backticks ` `` ` to mark inline code don't work in comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you need a backtick in a comment, you can just escape it (doesn't work in questions/answers!): `` `\catcode\`@=11` `` gives ``\catcode`@=11``. If the backtick is followed by a letter, then there's no need to escape it: ``` ``U` ``` gives `` `U ``.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Inline code in comments mustn't be followed by a letter. For example, `` `\vspace`s `` renders as \`\vspace\`s. I think there's no way out of it but typing `` `\vspace` s ``, with additional white space.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Maybe the most pestering problem is that you can't have a backslash `\` in the _end_ of inline code in comments. If you try `` `\\` ``, then the result will be \`\\`. _Why?_ The second backslash was interpreted as an escape for the closing backtick! Again there is no nice way out of it: You'll have to type `` `\\ ` `` and live with the white space being within the inline code." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

Only applies to other people in the comments that you are commenting on.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  2. Response must include @username that you are referring to, where &quot;username&quot; is a reasonable match to the user's current display name (as seen in the comments above yours).&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  3. There must be a starts-with, case insensitive match of at least THREE characters to the displayname. _UPDATE:_ @ab will _only_ give a match if the third letter of the displayname is a non-letter.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  4. Spaces cannot be used to match, so if the person's display name is &quot;Peter Smith&quot; then just use @peter to match.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  5. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if there are five people named &quot;John&quot; in the comments, writing &quot;hey @john, have you considered apples?&quot; will match the most recent John to comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These older rules don't include some later features: now the look up for names tries to look in more places for a match and tolerates omitted spaces.  Hence, the official rules, with thanks to Hendrik, as [described by Roger Pate][2]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 1. Notifications apply to the author, commenters, and [editors](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/36052/allow-post-editor-to-see-comments-directed-at-him/36055#36055) of the question or answer that you are commenting on—users not in that list cannot be notified.  The question and answers are all considered independently.  For example, if Alice was the author of, commented on, or edited the question or her answer, then you cannot notify her by commenting on Bob's answer (unless Alice *also* participated in that answer), and vice versa.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2. You must include *@name*, where *name* is a reasonable match to a user's current display name.  Users who have not set a display name in their profile are not notified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 3. If the first word in the display name is at least three characters long, then there must be a starts-with, case-insensitive match of at least three characters in the display name.  This means *@a* and *@ab* will never match anyone, [unless][1] a user uses a first word that is only two characters. Like: *@Jo* will notify Jo Miller, but not John. If there are more than three characters in *@name*, then all given characters must match (neither *@alix* nor *@aliceinwonderland* will match user Alice).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 4. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if five people named John are participating, writing *hey @john, have you considered apples?* will match the most recent John.  (Use the next rule to differentiate.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 5. Spaces are removed from the display names for matching purposes, so to match Peter Smith you may use *@pet*, *@peter*, *@peters*, or *@petersmith*.  The last two are useful if Peter Jones is also participating. Single quotes, dots, dashes and underscores should [not](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/51911/the-dot-in-username-within-first-3-character-preventing-from-comment-replies/51913#51913) be removed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 6. Special characters [are replaced](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/48968/peter-works-for-peter-torok/49409#49409) with their simple equivalent. To reply to Piëre you can use both *@piëre* and *@piere*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 7. Only the first name mentioned using the *@name* syntax will be [notified](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/2035/notify-user-when-their-name-is-mentioned-in-comment/35914#35914).  For example, *@alice @bob Hi!* will notify Alice (if she has participated in that post), but never Bob.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 8. If the first *@name* does not give a match, or matches your own display name, then no notification is triggered, not even if another *@name* is found in the same comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 9. When editing a comment within its limited editing period, a new *@name* will be notified [in the per-site response tab](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/40989/will-edited-comments-reach-addressees) but [possibly not in the global inbox](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/40989/will-edited-comments-reach-addressees/74781#74781) depending on timing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 10. The first author of the question or answer will always be notified of any new comment. There is no need to use *@name* to notify them.  (You may still use it for clarity, if needed, of course, but remember you only have a single *@name* at your disposal.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 11. The notification must begin with a space or be at the start of the comment. For example, you cannot use markup such as italics.  (See [comments](http://programmers.stackexchange.com/q/1079).)&#xD;&#xA;    - works: &#xD;&#xA;      - `@name some text`&#xD;&#xA;      - `@name: some text`&#xD;&#xA;      - `@name, some text`&#xD;&#xA;      - `some text, @name, more text`&#xD;&#xA;    - fails:&#xD;&#xA;      - `abc@name`&#xD;&#xA;      - `*@name*`&#xD;&#xA;      - `*@name:*`&#xD;&#xA;      - `[@name](http://some-url)`&#xD;&#xA;      - `@[name](http://some-url)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In particular, according to #1, anyone who _edits_ a question or answer is also on the list of people who are considered possible matches for notification.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/1093/make-recent-activity-and-responses-show-new-comments-on-questions-answers-i-have/35913#35913&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/43019/how-do-comment-replies-work/43020#43020" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

The approach is that most things can be done by people with sufficiently high reputation (the important lines are 2k and 10k, I think). In particular, members with reputations over 10k get access to most of the tools that the moderators do. The idea is of course that most 'moderation' is actually done without any intervention from Moderators.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We currently have a pretty small number of 10k users, although that will grow over time. At the same time, there are a small number of things that only moderators can do or see. For example, moderators can see people's registered e-mail addresses, and so can try to contact them directly if necessary. So there is a need for moderators to do some tasks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the moment, the number of things that have needed moderator attention have been pretty small. A number of these have been 'backing up' comments from others, or deleting 'answers' which are not really answers. The approach the _pro tem_ moderators have taken has been pretty 'light touch', only using the moderator 'powers' sparingly. That's been helped by the rarity of times when they've been needed. I hope that this situation continues after the election.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd say that moderating {TeX} should be something that is mainly about being an active member of the community. So if you visit the site most days, answer some questions (perhaps avoiding the 'low-hanging fruit' to allow lower rep. users to answer), edit tags and typos, and comment on questions when appropriate, then you should consider yourself as a potential candidate."

Only applies to other people in the comments that you are commenting on.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  2. Response must include @username that you are referring to, where &quot;username&quot; is a reasonable match to the user's current display name (as seen in the comments above yours).&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  3. There must be a starts-with, case insensitive match of at least THREE characters to the displayname. _UPDATE:_ @ab will _only_ give a match if the third letter of the displayname is a non-letter.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  4. Spaces cannot be used to match, so if the person's display name is &quot;Peter Smith&quot; then just use @peter to match.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  5. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if there are five people named &quot;John&quot; in the comments, writing &quot;hey @john, have you considered apples?&quot; will match the most recent John to comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These older rules don't include some later features: now the look up for names tries to look in more places for a match and tolerates omitted spaces.  Hence, the official rules, with thanks to Hendrik, as [described on meta.SO][2]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 1. Notifications apply to the author, commenters, and [editors](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/36052/allow-post-editor-to-see-comments-directed-at-him/36055#36055) of the question or answer that you are commenting on—users not in that list cannot be notified.  The question and answers are all considered independently.  For example, if Alice was the author of, commented on, or edited the question or her answer, then you cannot notify her by commenting on Bob's answer (unless Alice *also* participated in that answer), and vice versa.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2. You must include *@name*, where *name* is a reasonable match to a user's current display name.  Users who have not set a display name in their profile are not notified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 3. If the first word in the display name is at least three characters long, then there must be a starts-with, case-insensitive match of at least three characters in the display name.  This means *@a* and *@ab* will never match anyone, [unless][1] a user uses a first word that is only two characters. Like: *@Jo* will notify Jo Miller, but not John, and *@B.* will notify B. Gates, but not B.Gates. If there are more than three characters in *@name*, then all given characters must match (neither *@alix* nor *@aliceinwonderland* will match user Alice).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 4. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if five people named John are participating, writing *hey @john, have you considered apples?* will match the most recent John.  (Use the next rule to differentiate.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 5. Spaces are removed from the display names for matching purposes, so to match Peter Smith you may use *@pet*, *@peter*, *@peters*, or *@petersmith*.  The last two are useful if Peter Jones is also participating. Single quotes, dots, dashes and underscores should [not](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/51911/the-dot-in-username-within-first-3-character-preventing-from-comment-replies/51913#51913) be removed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 6. Special characters [are replaced](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/48968/peter-works-for-peter-torok/49409#49409) with their simple equivalent. To reply to Piëre you can use both *@piëre* and *@piere*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 7. Only the first name mentioned using the *@name* syntax will be [notified](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/2035/notify-user-when-their-name-is-mentioned-in-comment/35914#35914).  For example, *@alice @bob Hi!* will notify Alice (if she has participated in that post), but never Bob.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 8. If the first *@name* does not give a match, or matches your own display name, then no notification is triggered, not even if another *@name* is found in the same comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 9. When editing a comment within its limited editing period, a new *@name* will be notified [in the per-site response tab](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/40989/will-edited-comments-reach-addressees) but [possibly not in the global inbox](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/40989/will-edited-comments-reach-addressees/74781#74781) depending on timing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 10. The first author of the question or answer will always be notified of any new comment. There is no need to use *@name* to notify them.  (You may still use it for clarity, if needed, of course, but remember you only have a single *@name* at your disposal.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 11. The notification must begin with a space or be at the start of the comment. For example, you cannot use markup such as italics.  (See [comments](http://programmers.stackexchange.com/q/1079).)&#xD;&#xA;    - works: &#xD;&#xA;      - `@name some text`&#xD;&#xA;      - `@name: some text`&#xD;&#xA;      - `@name, some text`&#xD;&#xA;      - `some text, @name, more text`&#xD;&#xA;    - fails:&#xD;&#xA;      - `abc@name`&#xD;&#xA;      - `*@name*`&#xD;&#xA;      - `*@name:*`&#xD;&#xA;      - `[@name](http://some-url)`&#xD;&#xA;      - `@[name](http://some-url)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In particular, according to #1, anyone who _edits_ a question or answer is also on the list of people who are considered possible matches for notification.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/1093/make-recent-activity-and-responses-show-new-comments-on-questions-answers-i-have/35913#35913&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/43019/how-do-comment-replies-work/43020#43020" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

In **questions and answers**, there are only two (quite rare) cases where this might go wrong (see below for possible trouble in comments):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. You need a backtick in the inline code. Then you can _either_ use double backticks ` `` ` _or_ &amp;nbsp;`&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`&amp;nbsp; to mark your code. For example, both &#xD;&#xA; - ``` ``\catcode`@=11`` ``` and&#xD;&#xA; - ``&lt;code&gt;\catcode`@=11&lt;/code&gt;``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; give ``\catcode`@=11``.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. You want spaces in the beginning and/or the end of the inline code, or you need multiple spaces within. Then you have to use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, which has 3 spaces between &quot;a&quot; and &quot;test&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` is an alternative for backticks, but it behaves differently: You can use HTML entities such as `&amp;nbsp;` inside. For example, `&lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, whereas `` `&amp;nbsp;` `` gives `&amp;nbsp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a rule of thumb, use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` only as a last resort. And then be aware that you can run into trouble if you try to use `&lt;` inside: `&lt;code&gt;a&lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&lt;/code&gt;! The way out: `&lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;. Moreover, `&lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think [many have suffered](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/168/1235) from markdown quirks in **comments**. Here's a list of a few things that can go wrong.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Using `` `\(` ``, `` `\[` ``, `` `\*` `` or `` `\_` `` in comments just gives `(`, `[`, `*` and `_`, respectively. Markdown thinks you're using the backslash for escaping, whyever this only happens in comments. Thus you have to type another backslash: `` `\\(` `` gives `\(`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` and double backticks ` `` ` to mark inline code don't work in comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you need a backtick in a comment, you can just escape it (doesn't work in questions/answers!): `` `\catcode\`@=11` `` gives ``\catcode`@=11``. If the backtick is followed by a letter, then there's no need to escape it: ``` ``U` ``` gives `` `U ``.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Inline code in comments mustn't be followed by a letter. For example, `` `\vspace`s `` renders as \`\vspace\`s. I think there's no way out of it but typing `` `\vspace` s ``, with additional white space.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Maybe the most pestering problem is that you can't have a backslash `\` in the _end_ of inline code in comments. If you try `` `\\` ``, then the result will be \`\\`. _Why?_ The second backslash was interpreted as an escape for the closing backtick! Again there is no nice way out of it: You'll have to type `` `\\ ` `` and live with the white space being within the inline code." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

The approach is that most things can be done by people with sufficiently high reputation (the important lines are 2k and 10k, I think). In particular, members with reputations over 10k get access to most of the tools that the moderators do. The idea is of course that most 'moderation' is actually done without any intervention from Moderators.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We currently have a pretty small number of 10k users, although that will grow over time. At the same time, there are a small number of things that only moderators can do or see. For example, moderators can see people's registered e-mail addresses, and so can try to contact them directly if necessary. So there is a need for moderators to do some tasks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the moment, the number of things that have needed moderator attention have been pretty small. A number of these have been 'backing up' comments from others, or deleting 'answers' which are not really answers. The approach the _pro tem_ moderators have taken has been pretty 'light touch', only using the moderator 'powers' sparingly. That's been helped by the rarity of times when they've been needed. I hope that this situation continues after the election.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd say that moderating {TeX} should be something that is mainly about being an active member of the community. So if you visit the site most days, answer some questions (perhaps avoiding the 'low-hanging fruit' to allow lower rep. users to answer), edit tags and typos, and comment on questions when appropriate, then you should consider yourself as a potential candidate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking through the election posts given by candidates on other Stack Overflow sites, I see that time zones come up a lot. That's quite interesting mainly because I don't think it will be an issue in the {TeX} moderator election. The approach that's been taken by the _pro tem_ moderators is to check on questions for moderation and in most cases to leave a comment in the first instance. The convention that's been adopted is to first allow the user in question to take action, and only to step in after some time has elapsed. The net result is that 'rapid moderation' is not really needed, and so the fact that all of the _pro tem_ people are in Europe has not been an issue (at least I don't think it has)."

Although packages may be part of a TeX distribution, not everybody installs the complete distribution. There are minimal and basic options.  And Linux versions often differ even if they base on TeX Live. Further, CTAN may provide a more recent version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. In that case such people don't know their distribution. If one would have a very brief look at a readme file or distribution manual, they would know that there's a package manager. So if you mean user who just install but don't read anything - if they would encounter the challenge of installing a package they would soon learn that there's the easy distribution way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. If a user installs a local version besides the distribution at all, he could have the advantage of having a version that's newer than that of the distribution. If a user updates a distribution, he would use the distribution resp. package manager which makes the point obsolete that he installs packages manually because he doesn't know about the managing tool.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Links are good. That's the foundation of the web.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* CTAN is in general the best place to point to.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Linking is friendly gesture, giving a convenient way to read the package info and to quickly access the documentation.

On the internet, it can range from &quot;administrator&quot; to &quot;janitor&quot; to &quot;police&quot;.  I think that we see the whole range on the various SX sites.  Jeff, Joel and the SO team are clearly &quot;administrators&quot; whilst over on Math.SX they seem more in need of &quot;police&quot;!  Here, I think we're more towards the &quot;janitor&quot; end of the spectrum.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's no bad thing!  I think it means that our site runs itself fairly well, and that the community is doing the majority of the work (in so far as it is allowed to via the reputation system).  But no matter how smoothly run the event, every now and then someone needs to know where the keys are kept to that strange storage cupboard where the extra chairs are stored, and needs to sweep up in the corners that everyone else has overlooked.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking back over the &quot;actions&quot; that the moderators have taken (with sincere apologies if I've missed some of the hard work that my fellow mods have been doing without my noticing them), I'd say that they fall in to the following categories:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. **Polishing the site.**  Tag synonyms and merging, merging user accounts, writing tag wikis.  This sort of stuff needs to happen, some of it high-rep users can do, but as we don't have many of those yet then we need moderators to bypass the reputation system and get these things done.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. **Welcoming people.** Often, new users get a little confused by the interface and need to be (gently) told how it works.  The community is extremely good at doing this, but with the extra tools available to mods then they are the backup-team that (try to) ensure that no-one goes unnoticed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. **Wielding the black diamond.** As I said, I think we're more like the &quot;helpful team of volunteers at an event&quot; than the actual organisers, but if you're wearing the &quot;Welcome to TeX.SX&quot; t-shirt then sometimes you get mistaken for someone who Ought To Know, and then when you say something everyone listens and accepts it (even if they disagree).  That's quite useful.  It can be a bit annoying to come to a new site, try to contribute, and then have Joe User say &quot;That's not how things are done here, read the FAQ!&quot;.  But if Jo Moderator says it then it comes across as less pretentious and condescending (in my opinion).  Also, when a community member does write some constructive criticism, it can take the sting out for a moderator to come along and (effectively) say, &quot;This isn't Joe User picking on you, it's just how things are done here.&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The one thing that _isn't_ on my list is &quot;making decisions&quot;.  I'll admit that I've been fairly vocal in how I think that the site should be run: if there's a question on meta about &quot;Should we do X or Y?&quot; then I'll happily weigh in.  But I regard that as orthogonal to my role as a pro-tem moderator.  And I'd like to think that it's my arguments (plus a bit of my reputation) that gets my voice heard, not that black diamond next to my name.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So what should we look for in our next team of moderators?  Here's my list; it's not necessary that all be in each of the moderators, but that all be covered.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. **Commitment to the site.** I guess this is obvious, and I'd be surprised if someone put themselves forward who didn't want the site to succeed, but I'll say it anyway.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. **Regular visitor.** The janitor needs to be there most of the time.  A lot of the time, she can sit in her office drinking tea, but when she's needed it shouldn't be too long before she responds.  I wouldn't say that we need _continual_ coverage here.  Even the threatened LaTeX vs ConTeXt war didn't amount to much!  But we do need regular coverage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. **Broad knowledge of TeX.** The clean-up stuff needs to be done by person or persons who know what they're doing.  I haven't written any tag wikis simply because I haven't a clue what should go in them.  But they need to be done, and since we don't have many high-rep users to write them, then the task falls on the mods.  Similarly with cleaning up the tags.  (This is one where that knowledge needs to be present in the moderators _as a whole_ rather than in each moderator individually.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. **A good community member.** This goes in hand with the second trait.  If you're going to be on the welcoming team, make sure you're someone who naturally smiles a lot!  On the internet, that translates into being someone who can write something critical but in a way that comes across as being constructive.  Given that we've built up a list of &quot;cut and paste text blocks&quot; this doesn't mean that you yourself have to have the gift of the gab, but at least be able to appreciate the need for it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And that's about it.  I think that TeX.SX is doing a remarkable job at running itself, and I'd like to see the next team work on keeping it that way." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

That is, TeX tries to make the baseline of each box (normally a line of text) added to a &quot;vertical list&quot; (typically &quot;the page&quot;) exactly this distance below the baseline of the previous one; however, if this would leave the top edge of the new box within `\lineskiplimit` of the bottom edge of the previous box, `\lineskip` of &quot;glue&quot; (potentially-stretchable space) is used to separate them instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In other words, I believe that the &quot;brackets&quot; box is &quot;too tall&quot;; in this case, the problem seen is actually caused by what TeXnicians call the &quot;depth&quot; of the box (it extends too far down). Curiously, the analogous problem with the &quot;height&quot; (how high the box extends above the baseline) does not occur here: for example, [meta-tag:bug]. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This problem occurs on other sites, too, but naturally, this is almost certainly the most typographically nit-picky of the bunch, and the headquarters of the whitespace police. (Also, SO's design, for example, might *need* that size of box, since the box is itself is visible there; we just have a couple of curly braces and a different font!)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Further Details ##&#xD;&#xA;Taking a closer look in firebug, it looks like the value of the CSS &quot;margin-bottom&quot; property for the element in question is too large (6) due to a &quot;.post-tag&quot; rule; the same problem does not occur with the line above because the value of the &quot;margin-top&quot; property (2) is just small enough not to matter.

There's the &quot;up front&quot; side of moderating, which involves keeping an eye on the main site, welcoming new users, sorting out duplicates and non-answers.  As Joseph says, this doesn't add much time to someone already active on the site.  The only significant addition is the responsibility to check the site regularly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The other side is the stuff like sorting out the tags and the tag-wikis.  These are things that don't usually need immediate work, but it would be nice to get done and I think that moderators should regard themselves as the ones who do this if no-one else does.  Again, for someone already doing this sort of thing (in so far as is possible, there are a few things only the mods can do) then there may not be a huge addition of time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So all in all, for an active member of the community then I wouldn't say that there was a huge addition in time spent, but that there is an addition of responsibility (obviously!)."

I'll start with the answer for the benefit of the site.  I think that the ideal new team would comprise of a mix of the pro tem moderators and new moderators.  Unfortunately, we're going from 5 pro tem mods to 3 mods, so even if we had no new people two of the pro tems would have to step down.  (Ideally, I'd go for 4 moderators with 2+2, and while I'm wishing I'd like a pony too).  I consider myself as the least able of the pro tems _in terms of moderating activity_: I've not written any tag wikis, rarely done any tag clean-ups, and when there's a flag then by the time I get there then someone else has almost always taken the appropriate action.  So if there are to be some pro tems in the new team (as I hope that there are), I don't think that I should be one, and I don't want to risk dislodging one of the others or pushing out someone new.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; My reason for myself is that I feel I've put quite a bit of time in to this site at the start, and I'm pleased with how it got off the ground (I'm not implying direct causality there!), but now it's time to scale back a bit and be just an ordinary member of the community, just answering questions that catch my interest rather than feeling that I should read most of them.  I'm sure I'll still be as vocal on meta as ever, and hope to be as useful on the main site (I doubt that _all_ the TikZ/PGF questions have been asked yet).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; To sum up, what this site needed at the beginning was largely enthusiasm and time.  What it needs now is a broader view of TeX and how this site can benefit the TeX community.  That is something I certainly don't have." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

In **questions and answers**, there are only two (quite rare) cases where this might go wrong (see below for possible trouble in comments):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. You need a backtick in the inline code. Then you can _either_ use double backticks ` `` ` _or_ &amp;nbsp;`&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`&amp;nbsp; to mark your code. For example, both &#xD;&#xA; - ``` ``\catcode`@=11`` ``` and&#xD;&#xA; - ``&lt;code&gt;\catcode`@=11&lt;/code&gt;``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; give ``\catcode`@=11``. Another example: ``` `` &quot;` `` ``` gives `` &quot;` `` (note the spaces!).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. You want spaces in the beginning and/or the end of the inline code, or you need multiple spaces within. Then you have to use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, which has 3 spaces between &quot;a&quot; and &quot;test&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` is an alternative for backticks, but it behaves differently: You can use HTML entities such as `&amp;nbsp;` inside. For example, `&lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, whereas `` `&amp;nbsp;` `` gives `&amp;nbsp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a rule of thumb, use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` only as a last resort. And then be aware that you can run into trouble if you try to use `&lt;` inside: `&lt;code&gt;a&lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&lt;/code&gt;! The way out: `&lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;. Moreover, `&lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think [many have suffered](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/168/1235) from markdown quirks in **comments**. Here's a list of a few things that can go wrong.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. [Backslash escaping in inline code in comments has now been disabled](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/74340/backslash-escaping-in-code-regions-in-comments/79218#79218), except for the backtick.&#xD;&#xA;&lt;s&gt;Using `` `\(` ``, `` `\[` ``, `` `\*` `` or `` `\_` `` in comments just gives `(`, `[`, `*` and `_`, respectively. Markdown thinks you're using the backslash for escaping, whyever this only happens in comments. Thus you have to type another backslash: `` `\\(` `` gives `\(`.&lt;/s&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` and double backticks ` `` ` to mark inline code don't work in comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you need a backtick in a comment, you can just escape it (doesn't work in questions/answers!): `` `\catcode\`@=11` `` gives ``\catcode`@=11``. _No longer true:_ &lt;s&gt;If the backtick is followed by a letter, then there's no need to escape it: ``` ``U` ``` gives `` `U ``.&lt;/s&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Inline code in comments mustn't be followed by a letter. For example, `` `\vspace`s `` renders as \`\vspace\`s. There's no nice way out of it but typing `` `\vspace` s ``, with additional white space. But you can use the trick from #5: cut and paste `` `\vspace`‍s ``.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Maybe the most pestering problem is that you can't have a backslash `\` in the _end_ of inline code in comments. If you try `` `\\` ``, then the result will be \`\\`. _Why?_ The second backslash was interpreted as an escape for the closing backtick! Again there is no nice way out of it: You'll have to type `` `\\ ` `` and live with the white space being within the inline code.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   Here's a trick that works, [found over at meta.SO](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/79698/can-we-have-backticks-in-comments-back-please/79699#79699), but it's not clear if this will also [work in the future](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/79546/can-we-please-have-a-place-where-changes-to-the-markdown-syntax-are-documented). Use _cut and paste_ and put `` `\‍` `` into your comment. This will give you `\` since there's a zero-width unicode character after the `\`." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

In **questions and answers**, there are only two (quite rare) cases where this might go wrong (see below for possible trouble in comments):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. You need a backtick in the inline code. Then you can _either_ use double backticks ` `` ` _or_ &amp;nbsp;`&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`&amp;nbsp; to mark your code. For example, both &#xD;&#xA; - ``` ``\catcode`@=11`` ``` and&#xD;&#xA; - ``&lt;code&gt;\catcode`@=11&lt;/code&gt;``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; give ``\catcode`@=11``. Another example: ``` `` &quot;` `` ``` gives `` &quot;` `` (note the spaces!).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. You want spaces in the beginning and/or the end of the inline code, or you need multiple spaces within. Then you have to use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, which has 3 spaces between &quot;a&quot; and &quot;test&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` is an alternative for backticks, but it behaves differently: You can use HTML entities such as `&amp;nbsp;` inside. For example, `&lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, whereas `` `&amp;nbsp;` `` gives `&amp;nbsp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a rule of thumb, use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` only as a last resort. And then be aware that you can run into trouble if you try to use `&lt;` inside: `&lt;code&gt;a&lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&lt;/code&gt;! The way out: `&lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;. Moreover, `&lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think [many have suffered](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/168/1235) from markdown quirks in **comments**. Here's a list of a few things that can go wrong.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. [Backslash escaping in inline code in comments has now been disabled](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/74340/backslash-escaping-in-code-regions-in-comments/79218#79218), except for the backtick.&#xD;&#xA;&lt;s&gt;Using `` `\(` ``, `` `\[` ``, `` `\*` `` or `` `\_` `` in comments just gives `(`, `[`, `*` and `_`, respectively. Markdown thinks you're using the backslash for escaping, whyever this only happens in comments. Thus you have to type another backslash: `` `\\(` `` gives `\(`.&lt;/s&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` and double backticks ` `` ` to mark inline code don't work in comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you need a backtick in a comment, you can just escape it (doesn't work in questions/answers!): `` `\catcode\`@=11` `` gives ``\catcode`@=11``. _No longer true:_ &lt;s&gt;If the backtick is followed by a letter, then there's no need to escape it: ``` ``U` ``` gives `` `U ``.&lt;/s&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Inline code in comments mustn't be followed by a letter. For example, `` `\vspace`s `` renders as \`\vspace\`s. There's no nice way out of it but typing `` `\vspace` s ``, with additional white space. But you can use the trick from #5: cut and paste `` `\vspace`‍s ``.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Maybe the most pestering problem is that you can't have a backslash `\` in the _end_ of inline code in comments. If you try `` `\\` ``, then the result will be \`\\`. _Why?_ The second backslash was interpreted as an escape for the closing backtick!

For&#xD;&#xA;&gt; instance, would you use chat more?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin**: Absolutely. I'd like to be more active on the site organization front -- cleanup, merging questions (where necessary), composing comprehensive CW answers, etc. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Additionally, I think the chat has been sadly underused since its introduction, and I can see how it can be of utility for various small support questions, TeX-related announcements, light troubleshooting, short-term issues and of course a bit of idle chat in between. I've seen some instances where a question or an answer has started long and interesting discussions between people, often going beyond the topic of the question itself, and these are ideal uses for chat.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Caramdir**: It probably wouldn't change too much. With enough rep, users can do most of the housekeeping stuff without moderator intervention, and being here since the start of the private beta, I always had a chance to build up enough reputation before the reputation requirement increases (i.e. at the end of the private beta, and at the end of the public beta). The biggest change seems to be that instead of flagging post for moderator attention, I'll have to react to flags (or just do the work whenever I find it). Maybe participation in meta will increase a bit, but not too much—there is no need to flood it with posts by moderators. And I'm sure, I'd still draw lots of TikZ pictures. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ad chat: I don't see any direct relationship between the chat and moderation. Anything that needs moderator attentions should usually be either flagged or discussed on meta. That said, the chat has been more active lately and I suppose it will stay so in the future.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew**: I think I spend quite a bit of time around here anyway, depending on the sports and political seasons, so I don't think I will be here significantly more.

I'll start with the answer for the benefit of the site.  I think that the ideal new team would comprise of a mix of the pro tem moderators and new moderators.  Unfortunately, we're going from 5 pro tem mods to 3 mods, so even if we had no new people two of the pro tems would have to step down.  (Ideally, I'd go for 4 moderators with 2+2, and while I'm wishing I'd like a pony too).  I consider myself as the least able of the pro tems _in terms of moderating activity_: I've not written any tag wikis, rarely done any tag clean-ups, and when there's a flag then by the time I get there then someone else has almost always taken the appropriate action.  So if there are to be some pro tems in the new team (as I hope that there are), I don't think that I should be one, and I don't want to risk dislodging one of the others or pushing out someone new.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My reason for myself is that I feel I've put quite a bit of time in to this site at the start, and I'm pleased with how it got off the ground (I'm not implying direct causality there!), but now it's time to scale back a bit and be just an ordinary member of the community, just answering questions that catch my interest rather than feeling that I should read most of them.  I'm sure I'll still be as vocal on meta as ever, and hope to be as useful on the main site (I doubt that _all_ the TikZ/PGF questions have been asked yet).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To sum up, what this site needed at the beginning was largely enthusiasm and time.  What it needs now is a broader view of TeX and how this site can benefit the TeX community.  That is something I certainly don't have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I didn't volunteer until now because I consider the pro tem moderators to be doing a great job already, and was kind of hoping they would continue.  Also, I was (perhaps vainly) waiting for someone to bring it up as a possibility.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Stefan** When there's time given for making important decisions, I tend to use it. Also, I hesitate to speak a lot about myself. Since my feeling clearly says I would like to volunteer, I should write something now. So, see you later on the election page.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

What would you like to see the community doing that it isn't currently doing?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (Note that I'm not necessarily asking for what you _yourself_ would do (though you can answer that), but what you would look to encourage the community to do.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Joseph Wright** One area that I think would help the moderators is more voting to close, _etc_., by high-reputation users. The model for SO is that most things happen on a community basis, so as we get more high reputation users then there should actually be _less_ for the moderators to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess one thing I'd want to avoid is 'mission creep'. The SO model works well for what it does: answering specific questions. However, there are other places to hold general discussion or to run a 'curated' FAQ. The {TeX} site is good, but it's not a panacea and I would not like to see this as the _only_ place for TeX-related support.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): The most important part is simply having good answers and easy to find knowledge. Then Google (and so on) will keep new users flowing in. Moderators are playing an important role here (though the majority of the editing/organizing work is of course done by the community as a whole). Improving questions is helping a lot for getting the search engines to find them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Apart from that, I liked some of the ideas discussed in http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/780/how-about-a-featured-tex-post. Featured answers could potentially increase answer quality (simply by pointing out what a good answer looks like) and some typesetting competitions can increase the amount of community involvement (and get some more people to read meta more frequently).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I like the idea of featuring some longer contributions.  Although we're good at answering many questions, we are answering some of them several times (&quot;What is `@` for?&quot;) still and perhaps featuring some of our most popular answers will get those frequently asked questions a bit less frequently asked.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think there should be some more &quot;fun&quot; questions as well, perhaps on meta.  I understand on StackOverflow Fridays are a day to ask more free-form questions and it would be enjoyable to shoot from the hip once in a while.  As long as it's vaguely TeX-related.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have also considered a bit more active recruitment.  Currently our questions are very findable so googlers are reaching us.  But we could also make an effort to invite package developers and mailing lists users to join the site.  I had even proposed a flier or trinket to distribute at meetings where a lot of TeX users attend (e.g., the Joint AMS/MAA Meetings).  Where we would get the funds for that kind of thing is a another question, but it's an idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep** At the moment, the vast majority of questions is about specific, sometimes pressing issues (like &quot;Why is symbol xy not showing up?&quot;). I'd like to see the community ask more questions about broader issues (best practices, pros and cons of different approaches to solve a problem). An excellent example is Seamus' question about [Theorem packages][1]. It probably makes our site more prominent at Google, but above that, it's a great resource for &quot;power users&quot; and developers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** Collaboration. Although CW posts are used sometimes when answering questions (I do when summarizing answers from my questions), it is rare that somebody comes along and decides to edit and append the post instead of adding their own. I understand that people do this out of respect towards others' work (and sometimes to get some rep themselves), but when I mark a post CW, I'd very much like somebody to come along to improve it, if they deem necessary. I think we can do more to promote collaboration on (some aspects of) the site.&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5599/theorem-packages-which-to-use-which-conflict" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I'd like to be more active on the site organization front -- cleanup, merging questions (where necessary), composing comprehensive CW answers, etc. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Additionally, I think the chat has been sadly underused since its introduction, and I can see how it can be of utility for various small support questions, TeX-related announcements, light troubleshooting, short-term issues and of course a bit of idle chat in between. I've seen some instances where a question or an answer has started long and interesting discussions between people, often going beyond the topic of the question itself, and these are ideal uses for chat.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): It probably wouldn't change too much. With enough rep, users can do most of the housekeeping stuff without moderator intervention, and being here since the start of the private beta, I always had a chance to build up enough reputation before the reputation requirement increases (i.e. at the end of the private beta, and at the end of the public beta). The biggest change seems to be that instead of flagging post for moderator attention, I'll have to react to flags (or just do the work whenever I find it). Maybe participation in meta will increase a bit, but not too much—there is no need to flood it with posts by moderators. And I'm sure, I'd still draw lots of TikZ pictures. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ad chat: I don't see any direct relationship between the chat and moderation. Anything that needs moderator attentions should usually be either flagged or discussed on meta. That said, the chat has been more active lately and I suppose it will stay so in the future.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew**: I think I spend quite a bit of time around here anyway, depending on the sports and political seasons, so I don't think I will be here significantly more.  But I will make a point of paying more attention to meta.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep**: I would have to shift some of the time I spend answering questions of marginal (for me) interest to &quot;janitorial&quot; activities. As for the chat, it's obviously great when elections are up, but I'm still undecided about its general utility.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Scharrer**: I think I'm already very much involved with the site. However, with the power and the accompanying responsibility of a moderator I will pay more attention to the issues of other people and other outstanding or arising issues. I will have to browse Meta more thoroughly than up till know. I like the chat for quick conversations.

I'm a pretty experienced LaTeX user and TeX programmer, so have relatively few questions that really fit the site (so far I've only asked one). (The few things I do ask about tend to go to c.t.t, where there are some _very_ experienced TeX programmers.) I hope that has not made me a bad moderator, as in the past I've asked enough questions elsewhere to know _how_ to phrase a good question. So I'd say that asking lots of questions here is not crucial to being a good moderator. What's needed is patience with new members of the community and the ability to explain what _makes_ a good question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep**: I don't think having asked many questions is important for qualifying as a moderator. Stefan Kottwitz and Joseph Wright IMO have been performing excellent as pro tem mods while asking only 4 resp. 1 question(s).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I *do* think, though, that Andrew hit on something important in his chat remark: I wouldn't vote for a mod candidate who only seldom or never casts votes on question/answers. Separating the wheat from the chaff (so to speak) and making the best questions highly visible is a core aspect of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): I guess it does certainly help to know the site from both perspectives, but as the pro tem moderation team has show that it is not strictly necessary. More important is to know *how* to ask a good question and to have some patience with new users that don't know that yet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I was first drawn to this site by a question, and I've definitely asked my fair share and upvoted hundreds of answers.  As a I moderator I would obviously draw upon that experience and treat all users, especially n00bs, with respect.

Asking questions is important, but might be one of the lower priorities a moderator should concentrate on. However, asking the right questions which aren't discussed yet, even if the answer is already known to this person, could help to make this site even more valuable then it is right now.

As long as it's vaguely TeX-related.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have also considered a bit more active recruitment.  Currently our questions are very findable so googlers are reaching us.  But we could also make an effort to invite package developers and mailing lists users to join the site.  I had even proposed a flier or trinket to distribute at meetings where a lot of TeX users attend (e.g., the Joint AMS/MAA Meetings).  Where we would get the funds for that kind of thing is a another question, but it's an idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep** At the moment, the vast majority of questions is about specific, sometimes pressing issues (like &quot;Why is symbol xy not showing up?&quot;). I'd like to see the community ask more questions about broader issues (best practices, pros and cons of different approaches to solve a problem). An excellent example is Seamus' question about [Theorem packages][2]. It probably makes our site more prominent at Google, but above that, it's a great resource for &quot;power users&quot; and developers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** Collaboration. Although CW posts are used sometimes when answering questions (I do when summarizing answers from my questions), it is rare that somebody comes along and decides to edit and append the post instead of adding their own. I understand that people do this out of respect towards others' work (and sometimes to get some rep themselves), but when I mark a post CW, I'd very much like somebody to come along to improve it, if they deem necessary. I think we can do more to promote collaboration on (some aspects of) the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5599/theorem-packages-which-to-use-which-conflict" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I'll start with the answer for the benefit of the site.  I think that the ideal new team would comprise of a mix of the pro tem moderators and new moderators.  Unfortunately, we're going from 5 pro tem mods to 3 mods, so even if we had no new people two of the pro tems would have to step down.  (Ideally, I'd go for 4 moderators with 2+2, and while I'm wishing I'd like a pony too).  I consider myself as the least able of the pro tems _in terms of moderating activity_: I've not written any tag wikis, rarely done any tag clean-ups, and when there's a flag then by the time I get there then someone else has almost always taken the appropriate action.  So if there are to be some pro tems in the new team (as I hope that there are), I don't think that I should be one, and I don't want to risk dislodging one of the others or pushing out someone new.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My reason for myself is that I feel I've put quite a bit of time in to this site at the start, and I'm pleased with how it got off the ground (I'm not implying direct causality there!), but now it's time to scale back a bit and be just an ordinary member of the community, just answering questions that catch my interest rather than feeling that I should read most of them.  I'm sure I'll still be as vocal on meta as ever, and hope to be as useful on the main site (I doubt that _all_ the TikZ/PGF questions have been asked yet).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To sum up, what this site needed at the beginning was largely enthusiasm and time.  What it needs now is a broader view of TeX and how this site can benefit the TeX community.  That is something I certainly don't have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I didn't volunteer until now because I consider the pro tem moderators to be doing a great job already, and was kind of hoping they would continue.  Also, I was (perhaps vainly) waiting for someone to bring it up as a possibility.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Stefan**][1] When there's time given for making important decisions, I tend to use it. Also, I hesitate to speak a lot about myself. Since my feeling clearly says I would like to volunteer, I should write something now. So, see you later on the election page.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213/stefan-kottwitz" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I hope that has not made me a bad moderator, as in the past I've asked enough questions elsewhere to know _how_ to phrase a good question. So I'd say that asking lots of questions here is not crucial to being a good moderator. What's needed is patience with new members of the community and the ability to explain what _makes_ a good question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep**: I don't think having asked many questions is important for qualifying as a moderator.

Separating the wheat from the chaff (so to speak) and making the best questions highly visible is a core aspect of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): I guess it does certainly help to know the site from both perspectives, but as the pro tem moderation team has show that it is not strictly necessary.

As a I moderator I would obviously draw upon that experience and treat all users, especially n00bs, with respect.  I can't say that it would make me a better moderator than Joseph (just to use an example of someone who admits he hasn't), but it would make me a better moderator than a version of myself without the experience of the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Scharrer**: I think that active participation and knowledge of all aspect of tex.sx is important for a moderator. Asking questions is important, but might be one of the lower priorities a moderator should concentrate on. However, asking the right questions which aren't discussed yet, even if the answer is already known to this person, could help to make this site even more valuable then it is right now. Also I can fully understand that some power users, especially well known Gurus, do not come into the situation to need to ask (real) questions here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To pick up the other topic lockstep already mentioned above: I also think *voting* is a much better indicator of the community involvement of a moderator-to-be.

I am happy to keep contribution to questions and answers and being a camp counselor but I don't want to tempt myself into spending a lot of time writing tag wikis.  I *will* seek out and recruit tag wiki authors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep:** For subject areas where they are knowledgeable, community moderators have a higher-than-average responsibility for writing (and revising) tag wikis. For other areas, they should rather pester the &quot;top users&quot; to get some wiki entries started. Once the initial work is done, moderators may suggest possible additional content and act as copy editors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): No. That is the responsibility of all users who have been here sufficiently long to know what the various tags are about. On the other hand, I think the mods have a higher than average responsibility in *editing* and improving the tag wiki pages (e.g. by correcting spelling and trying to keep them consistent), as the list of recent tag wiki changes is only visible with the mod/10k tools.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Scharrer:** The moderators should make sure that important tasks on tex.sx are getting done. Tag wiki pages are IMHO important. As I already wrote in my candidature post I would like to encourage *all* users to provide good tag wiki suggestions. I made many tag wiki suggestions already in the past and as moderator I will continue to do so even more. I would like to get every user to make suggestions for the tags they are most knowledgeable in. Some tags still need some clarification. Sometimes I'm not sure which area they exactly cover. This things can and should be discussed on Meta. A have the idea to compile a list of to-be-edited tag wiki pages for the more important and frequently used tags.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright][1]** Moderators are high-reputation members of the community in most cases, and so do have a place in writing tags where they do know about them. However, that's purely a member of the community, not as a moderator _per se_. So I would not expect any additional responsibility on moderators in respect of tag writing. (My answer is therefore very similar to several of the other candidates: whether you regard this as a good thing I don't know.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

For&#xD;&#xA;&gt; instance, would you use chat more?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov**: Absolutely. I'd like to be more active on the site organization front -- cleanup, merging questions (where necessary), composing comprehensive CW answers, etc. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Additionally, I think the chat has been sadly underused since its introduction, and I can see how it can be of utility for various small support questions, TeX-related announcements, light troubleshooting, short-term issues and of course a bit of idle chat in between. I've seen some instances where a question or an answer has started long and interesting discussions between people, often going beyond the topic of the question itself, and these are ideal uses for chat.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): It probably wouldn't change too much. With enough rep, users can do most of the housekeeping stuff without moderator intervention, and being here since the start of the private beta, I always had a chance to build up enough reputation before the reputation requirement increases (i.e. at the end of the private beta, and at the end of the public beta). The biggest change seems to be that instead of flagging post for moderator attention, I'll have to react to flags (or just do the work whenever I find it). Maybe participation in meta will increase a bit, but not too much—there is no need to flood it with posts by moderators. And I'm sure, I'd still draw lots of TikZ pictures. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ad chat: I don't see any direct relationship between the chat and moderation. Anything that needs moderator attentions should usually be either flagged or discussed on meta. That said, the chat has been more active lately and I suppose it will stay so in the future.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew**: I think I spend quite a bit of time around here anyway, depending on the sports and political seasons, so I don't think I will be here significantly more.  But I will make a point of paying more attention to meta.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep**: I would have to shift some of the time I spend answering questions of marginal (for me) interest to &quot;janitorial&quot; activities. As for the chat, it's obviously great when elections are up, but I'm still undecided about its general utility.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Scharrer**: I think I'm already very much involved with the site. However, with the power and the accompanying responsibility of a moderator I will pay more attention to the issues of other people and other outstanding or arising issues. I will have to browse Meta more thoroughly than up till know. I like the chat for quick conversations.

Tag wiki pages are IMHO important. As I already wrote in my candidature post I would like to encourage *all* users to provide good tag wiki suggestions. I made many tag wiki suggestions already in the past and as moderator I will continue to do so even more. I would like to get every user to make suggestions for the tags they are most knowledgeable in. Some tags still need some clarification. Sometimes I'm not sure which area they exactly cover. This things can and should be discussed on Meta. A have the idea to compile a list of to-be-edited tag wiki pages for the more important and frequently used tags.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright][1]** Moderators are high-reputation members of the community in most cases, and so do have a place in writing tags where they do know about them. However, that's purely a member of the community, not as a moderator _per se_. So I would not expect any additional responsibility on moderators in respect of tag writing. (My answer is therefore very similar to several of the other candidates: whether you regard this as a good thing I don't know.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

But I'd like to see it going further, with positive second derivative as well as first.  What would you like to see the community doing that it isn't currently doing?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (Note that I'm not necessarily asking for what you _yourself_ would do (though you can answer that), but what you would look to encourage the community to do.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright][1]** One area that I think would help the moderators is more voting to close, _etc_., by high-reputation users. The model for SO is that most things happen on a community basis, so as we get more high reputation users then there should actually be _less_ for the moderators to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess one thing I'd want to avoid is 'mission creep'. The SO model works well for what it does: answering specific questions. However, there are other places to hold general discussion or to run a 'curated' FAQ. The {TeX} site is good, but it's not a panacea and I would not like to see this as the _only_ place for TeX-related support.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): The most important part is simply having good answers and easy to find knowledge. Then Google (and so on) will keep new users flowing in. Moderators are playing an important role here (though the majority of the editing/organizing work is of course done by the community as a whole). Improving questions is helping a lot for getting the search engines to find them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Apart from that, I liked some of the ideas discussed in http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/780/how-about-a-featured-tex-post. Featured answers could potentially increase answer quality (simply by pointing out what a good answer looks like) and some typesetting competitions can increase the amount of community involvement (and get some more people to read meta more frequently).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I like the idea of featuring some longer contributions.  Although we're good at answering many questions, we are answering some of them several times (&quot;What is `@` for?&quot;) still and perhaps featuring some of our most popular answers will get those frequently asked questions a bit less frequently asked.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think there should be some more &quot;fun&quot; questions as well, perhaps on meta.  I understand on StackOverflow Fridays are a day to ask more free-form questions and it would be enjoyable to shoot from the hip once in a while.  As long as it's vaguely TeX-related.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have also considered a bit more active recruitment.  Currently our questions are very findable so googlers are reaching us.  But we could also make an effort to invite package developers and mailing lists users to join the site.  I had even proposed a flier or trinket to distribute at meetings where a lot of TeX users attend (e.g., the Joint AMS/MAA Meetings).  Where we would get the funds for that kind of thing is a another question, but it's an idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep** At the moment, the vast majority of questions is about specific, sometimes pressing issues (like &quot;Why is symbol xy not showing up?&quot;). I'd like to see the community ask more questions about broader issues (best practices, pros and cons of different approaches to solve a problem). An excellent example is Seamus' question about [Theorem packages][2]. It probably makes our site more prominent at Google, but above that, it's a great resource for &quot;power users&quot; and developers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** Collaboration. Although CW posts are used sometimes when answering questions (I do when summarizing answers from my questions), it is rare that somebody comes along and decides to edit and append the post instead of adding their own. I understand that people do this out of respect towards others' work (and sometimes to get some rep themselves), but when I mark a post CW, I'd very much like somebody to come along to improve it, if they deem necessary. I think we can do more to promote collaboration on (some aspects of) the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5599/theorem-packages-which-to-use-which-conflict" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I'd like to be more active on the site organization front -- cleanup, merging questions (where necessary), composing comprehensive CW answers, etc. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Additionally, I think the chat has been sadly underused since its introduction, and I can see how it can be of utility for various small support questions, TeX-related announcements, light troubleshooting, short-term issues and of course a bit of idle chat in between. I've seen some instances where a question or an answer has started long and interesting discussions between people, often going beyond the topic of the question itself, and these are ideal uses for chat.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): It probably wouldn't change too much. With enough rep, users can do most of the housekeeping stuff without moderator intervention, and being here since the start of the private beta, I always had a chance to build up enough reputation before the reputation requirement increases (i.e. at the end of the private beta, and at the end of the public beta). The biggest change seems to be that instead of flagging post for moderator attention, I'll have to react to flags (or just do the work whenever I find it). Maybe participation in meta will increase a bit, but not too much—there is no need to flood it with posts by moderators. And I'm sure, I'd still draw lots of TikZ pictures. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ad chat: I don't see any direct relationship between the chat and moderation. Anything that needs moderator attentions should usually be either flagged or discussed on meta. That said, the chat has been more active lately and I suppose it will stay so in the future.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew**: I think I spend quite a bit of time around here anyway, depending on the sports and political seasons, so I don't think I will be here significantly more.  But I will make a point of paying more attention to meta.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep**: I would have to shift some of the time I spend answering questions of marginal (for me) interest to &quot;janitorial&quot; activities.

However, with the power and the accompanying responsibility of a moderator I will pay more attention to the issues of other people and other outstanding or arising issues. I will have to browse Meta more thoroughly than up till know. I like the chat for quick conversations.

I'll start with the answer for the benefit of the site.  I think that the ideal new team would comprise of a mix of the pro tem moderators and new moderators.  Unfortunately, we're going from 5 pro tem mods to 3 mods, so even if we had no new people two of the pro tems would have to step down.  (Ideally, I'd go for 4 moderators with 2+2, and while I'm wishing I'd like a pony too).  I consider myself as the least able of the pro tems _in terms of moderating activity_: I've not written any tag wikis, rarely done any tag clean-ups, and when there's a flag then by the time I get there then someone else has almost always taken the appropriate action.  So if there are to be some pro tems in the new team (as I hope that there are), I don't think that I should be one, and I don't want to risk dislodging one of the others or pushing out someone new.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My reason for myself is that I feel I've put quite a bit of time in to this site at the start, and I'm pleased with how it got off the ground (I'm not implying direct causality there!), but now it's time to scale back a bit and be just an ordinary member of the community, just answering questions that catch my interest rather than feeling that I should read most of them.  I'm sure I'll still be as vocal on meta as ever, and hope to be as useful on the main site (I doubt that _all_ the TikZ/PGF questions have been asked yet).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To sum up, what this site needed at the beginning was largely enthusiasm and time.  What it needs now is a broader view of TeX and how this site can benefit the TeX community.  That is something I certainly don't have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I didn't volunteer until now because I consider the pro tem moderators to be doing a great job already, and was kind of hoping they would continue.  Also, I was (perhaps vainly) waiting for someone to bring it up as a possibility.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Stefan**][1] When there's time given for making important decisions, I tend to use it. Also, I hesitate to speak a lot about myself. Since my feeling clearly says I would like to volunteer, I should write something now.

I'm a pretty experienced LaTeX user and TeX programmer, so have relatively few questions that really fit the site (so far I've only asked one). (The few things I do ask about tend to go to c.t.t, where there are some _very_ experienced TeX programmers.) I hope that has not made me a bad moderator, as in the past I've asked enough questions elsewhere to know _how_ to phrase a good question. So I'd say that asking lots of questions here is not crucial to being a good moderator. What's needed is patience with new members of the community and the ability to explain what _makes_ a good question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep**: I don't think having asked many questions is important for qualifying as a moderator. Stefan Kottwitz and Joseph Wright IMO have been performing excellent as pro tem mods while asking only 4 resp. 1 question(s).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I *do* think, though, that Andrew hit on something important in his chat remark: I wouldn't vote for a mod candidate who only seldom or never casts votes on question/answers. Separating the wheat from the chaff (so to speak) and making the best questions highly visible is a core aspect of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): I guess it does certainly help to know the site from both perspectives, but as the pro tem moderation team has show that it is not strictly necessary. More important is to know *how* to ask a good question and to have some patience with new users that don't know that yet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I was first drawn to this site by a question, and I've definitely asked my fair share and upvoted hundreds of answers.  As a I moderator I would obviously draw upon that experience and treat all users, especially n00bs, with respect.  I can't say that it would make me a better moderator than Joseph (just to use an example of someone who admits he hasn't), but it would make me a better moderator than a version of myself without the experience of the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer): I think that active participation and knowledge of all aspect of tex.sx is important for a moderator. Asking questions is important, but might be one of the lower priorities a moderator should concentrate on. However, asking the right questions which aren't discussed yet, even if the answer is already known to this person, could help to make this site even more valuable then it is right now. Also I can fully understand that some power users, especially well known Gurus, do not come into the situation to need to ask (real) questions here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To pick up the other topic lockstep already mentioned above: I also think *voting* is a much better indicator of the community involvement of a moderator-to-be. This sites lives from votes! Not only to distinguish the good answers from the less good ones, but also to elevate the good users and give them the privileges they deserve and need to participate even more. Votes are our form of *spice* and as we all know [*The spice must flow*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_spice_must_flow)!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** I don't think the two are related. As already pointed out, our current moderators weren't the most avid question askers, but did a commendable job nevertheless. The moderators should know how to tell a good question apart from a bad one, and how to deal with substandard ones (comment, edit, close, delete). Tolerance and &quot;human touch&quot; towards new users is far more important&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/86/andrew-stacey" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

However, my knowledge of (La)TeX has increased quite a lot in the last few months, simply by reading lots of questions and answers on this site. In my answers I typically prefer simple prepackaged solutions, except when it is unavoidable (which, for drawing pictures, it often is). Does it matter for moderation? I don't think so. The job of moderators isn't to write answers. When they write answers, they do so as normal members in the community. Of course a fair knowledge of the field helps to judge what a good question/answer is and thus should help with moderation." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I'm a pretty experienced LaTeX user and TeX programmer, so have relatively few questions that really fit the site (so far I've only asked one). (The few things I do ask about tend to go to c.t.t, where there are some _very_ experienced TeX programmers.) I hope that has not made me a bad moderator, as in the past I've asked enough questions elsewhere to know _how_ to phrase a good question. So I'd say that asking lots of questions here is not crucial to being a good moderator. What's needed is patience with new members of the community and the ability to explain what _makes_ a good question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep**: I don't think having asked many questions is important for qualifying as a moderator. Stefan Kottwitz and Joseph Wright IMO have been performing excellent as pro tem mods while asking only 4 resp. 1 question(s).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I *do* think, though, that Andrew hit on something important in his chat remark: I wouldn't vote for a mod candidate who only seldom or never casts votes on question/answers. Separating the wheat from the chaff (so to speak) and making the best questions highly visible is a core aspect of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): I guess it does certainly help to know the site from both perspectives, but as the pro tem moderation team has show that it is not strictly necessary. More important is to know *how* to ask a good question and to have some patience with new users that don't know that yet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I was first drawn to this site by a question, and I've definitely asked my fair share and upvoted hundreds of answers.  As a I moderator I would obviously draw upon that experience and treat all users, especially n00bs, with respect.

Asking questions is important, but might be one of the lower priorities a moderator should concentrate on. However, asking the right questions which aren't discussed yet, even if the answer is already known to this person, could help to make this site even more valuable then it is right now. Also I can fully understand that some power users, especially well known Gurus, do not come into the situation to need to ask (real) questions here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To pick up the other topic lockstep already mentioned above: I also think *voting* is a much better indicator of the community involvement of a moderator-to-be. This sites lives from votes! Not only to distinguish the good answers from the less good ones, but also to elevate the good users and give them the privileges they deserve and need to participate even more. Votes are our form of *spice* and as we all know [*The spice must flow*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_spice_must_flow)!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** I don't think the two are related. As already pointed out, our current moderators weren't the most avid question askers, but did a commendable job nevertheless.

This includes the experience of creating one or more questions with our site interface but also dealing with the answers: voting some up or down, how many, which one to choose for accepting, giving feedback in comments, receiving comments and reacting to that. It took me some time to figure out some own questions, because I know how to find answers myself and I'm used to that.

I don't think there should be a distinction in this context. Having at least an excerpt helps during (re)tagging and tag organization (usually performed by mods anyway), so the moderators have some extra incentive to establish some guidelines when a specific tag should be applied or not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** No.  And if you are looking for a moderator to make significant contributions in this regard, do not vote for me because I will disappoint you.  I am happy to keep contribution to questions and answers and being a camp counselor but I don't want to tempt myself into spending a lot of time writing tag wikis.  I *will* seek out and recruit tag wiki authors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep:** For subject areas where they are knowledgeable, community moderators have a higher-than-average responsibility for writing (and revising) tag wikis. For other areas, they should rather pester the &quot;top users&quot; to get some wiki entries started. Once the initial work is done, moderators may suggest possible additional content and act as copy editors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): No. That is the responsibility of all users who have been here sufficiently long to know what the various tags are about. On the other hand, I think the mods have a higher than average responsibility in *editing* and improving the tag wiki pages (e.g. by correcting spelling and trying to keep them consistent), as the list of recent tag wiki changes is only visible with the mod/10k tools.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer): The moderators should make sure that important tasks on tex.sx are getting done. Tag wiki pages are IMHO important. As I already wrote in my candidature post I would like to encourage *all* users to provide good tag wiki suggestions. I made many tag wiki suggestions already in the past and as moderator I will continue to do so even more. I would like to get every user to make suggestions for the tags they are most knowledgeable in. Some tags still need some clarification. Sometimes I'm not sure which area they exactly cover. This things can and should be discussed on Meta. A have the idea to compile a list of to-be-edited tag wiki pages for the more important and frequently used tags.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright][1]** Moderators are high-reputation members of the community in most cases, and so do have a place in writing tags where they do know about them. However, that's purely a member of the community, not as a moderator _per se_. So I would not expect any additional responsibility on moderators in respect of tag writing. (My answer is therefore very similar to several of the other candidates: whether you regard this as a good thing I don't know.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Stefan Kottwitz**][2] Writing tag wikis is a joint effort. I assume mainly tag specialists would edit wikis where they are the experts or propose edits. Moderators could help and keep looking at it in order to keep a good standard. I edited a number of tag wikis, but feeling as a user, not as a moderator. However, moderators could show ideas. For example, I can imagine tag wikis for broad tags being like a good structured mini web site: starting with a description, showing a list of related packages and listing remarkable question on this site, sorted by sub topic, further showing sub tags and closely related tags. This is an idea for the future when we will have to manage a huge amount of material.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213/stefan-kottwitz" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

But I'd like to see it going further, with positive second derivative as well as first.  What would you like to see the community doing that it isn't currently doing?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (Note that I'm not necessarily asking for what you _yourself_ would do (though you can answer that), but what you would look to encourage the community to do.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright][1]** One area that I think would help the moderators is more voting to close, _etc_., by high-reputation users. The model for SO is that most things happen on a community basis, so as we get more high reputation users then there should actually be _less_ for the moderators to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess one thing I'd want to avoid is 'mission creep'. The SO model works well for what it does: answering specific questions. However, there are other places to hold general discussion or to run a 'curated' FAQ. The {TeX} site is good, but it's not a panacea and I would not like to see this as the _only_ place for TeX-related support.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): The most important part is simply having good answers and easy to find knowledge. Then Google (and so on) will keep new users flowing in. Moderators are playing an important role here (though the majority of the editing/organizing work is of course done by the community as a whole). Improving questions is helping a lot for getting the search engines to find them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Apart from that, I liked some of the ideas discussed in http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/780/how-about-a-featured-tex-post. Featured answers could potentially increase answer quality (simply by pointing out what a good answer looks like) and some typesetting competitions can increase the amount of community involvement (and get some more people to read meta more frequently).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I like the idea of featuring some longer contributions.  Although we're good at answering many questions, we are answering some of them several times (&quot;What is `@` for?&quot;) still and perhaps featuring some of our most popular answers will get those frequently asked questions a bit less frequently asked.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think there should be some more &quot;fun&quot; questions as well, perhaps on meta.  I understand on StackOverflow Fridays are a day to ask more free-form questions and it would be enjoyable to shoot from the hip once in a while.  As long as it's vaguely TeX-related.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have also considered a bit more active recruitment.  Currently our questions are very findable so googlers are reaching us.  But we could also make an effort to invite package developers and mailing lists users to join the site.  I had even proposed a flier or trinket to distribute at meetings where a lot of TeX users attend (e.g., the Joint AMS/MAA Meetings).  Where we would get the funds for that kind of thing is a another question, but it's an idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep** At the moment, the vast majority of questions is about specific, sometimes pressing issues (like &quot;Why is symbol xy not showing up?&quot;). I'd like to see the community ask more questions about broader issues (best practices, pros and cons of different approaches to solve a problem). An excellent example is Seamus' question about [Theorem packages][2]. It probably makes our site more prominent at Google, but above that, it's a great resource for &quot;power users&quot; and developers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** Collaboration. Although CW posts are used sometimes when answering questions (I do when summarizing answers from my questions), it is rare that somebody comes along and decides to edit and append the post instead of adding their own. I understand that people do this out of respect towards others' work (and sometimes to get some rep themselves), but when I mark a post CW, I'd very much like somebody to come along to improve it, if they deem necessary. I think we can do more to promote collaboration on (some aspects of) the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer):&#xD;&#xA;Like Andrew said, the site is already doing very well. In some points it might be (even) better organized. For example I miss a site-map here which tells you about all the links and pages which exist. Some of them can't even be reached through hyper-links on the site and others are difficult to find.  &#xD;&#xA;Other things were already mentioned, like *tag wikis* and close votes.  &#xD;&#xA;I could also imaging some form of *polls* or *surveys* on meta. On &lt;http://perlmonks.org&gt;, a perl user site similar to SX but written of course in Perl, these surveys are interesting and/or funny. This could be done on Meta quite tidy in one thread (aka question) with small surveys as &quot;answers&quot;. The real survey answers are then pre-defined comments anyone can up-vote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another idea for improvement popped into my mind several times while seeing some bad user code on this side is to create more community wiki pages which describe some common errors and best practices. Maybe an own small version of LaTeX tabu and some small How To's. These pages make then excellent link targets from other questions. Google favors this site and therefore these pages will be found quickly by people which looking for it.

I have learnt a lot from reading questions on the site in the last months, but still I have a long way to go.

I like it when others do that as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the question about the continuum: For me there is no direct correlation between qualities that make a good moderator and those of a TeXnician.

But I'd like to see it going further, with positive second derivative as well as first.  What would you like to see the community doing that it isn't currently doing?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (Note that I'm not necessarily asking for what you _yourself_ would do (though you can answer that), but what you would look to encourage the community to do.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright][1]** One area that I think would help the moderators is more voting to close, _etc_., by high-reputation users. The model for SO is that most things happen on a community basis, so as we get more high reputation users then there should actually be _less_ for the moderators to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess one thing I'd want to avoid is 'mission creep'. The SO model works well for what it does: answering specific questions. However, there are other places to hold general discussion or to run a 'curated' FAQ. The {TeX} site is good, but it's not a panacea and I would not like to see this as the _only_ place for TeX-related support.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): The most important part is simply having good answers and easy to find knowledge. Then Google (and so on) will keep new users flowing in. Moderators are playing an important role here (though the majority of the editing/organizing work is of course done by the community as a whole). Improving questions is helping a lot for getting the search engines to find them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Apart from that, I liked some of the ideas discussed in http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/780/how-about-a-featured-tex-post. Featured answers could potentially increase answer quality (simply by pointing out what a good answer looks like) and some typesetting competitions can increase the amount of community involvement (and get some more people to read meta more frequently).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I like the idea of featuring some longer contributions.  Although we're good at answering many questions, we are answering some of them several times (&quot;What is `@` for?&quot;) still and perhaps featuring some of our most popular answers will get those frequently asked questions a bit less frequently asked.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think there should be some more &quot;fun&quot; questions as well, perhaps on meta.  I understand on StackOverflow Fridays are a day to ask more free-form questions and it would be enjoyable to shoot from the hip once in a while.  As long as it's vaguely TeX-related.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have also considered a bit more active recruitment.  Currently our questions are very findable so googlers are reaching us.  But we could also make an effort to invite package developers and mailing lists users to join the site.  I had even proposed a flier or trinket to distribute at meetings where a lot of TeX users attend (e.g., the Joint AMS/MAA Meetings).  Where we would get the funds for that kind of thing is a another question, but it's an idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep** At the moment, the vast majority of questions is about specific, sometimes pressing issues (like &quot;Why is symbol xy not showing up?&quot;). I'd like to see the community ask more questions about broader issues (best practices, pros and cons of different approaches to solve a problem). An excellent example is Seamus' question about [Theorem packages][2]. It probably makes our site more prominent at Google, but above that, it's a great resource for &quot;power users&quot; and developers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** Collaboration. Although CW posts are used sometimes when answering questions (I do when summarizing answers from my questions), it is rare that somebody comes along and decides to edit and append the post instead of adding their own. I understand that people do this out of respect towards others' work (and sometimes to get some rep themselves), but when I mark a post CW, I'd very much like somebody to come along to improve it, if they deem necessary. I think we can do more to promote collaboration on (some aspects of) the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer):&#xD;&#xA;Like Andrew said, the site is already doing very well. In some points it might be (even) better organized. For example I [miss a site-map](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/79977/156875) here which tells you about all the links and pages which exist. Some of them can't even be reached through hyper-links on the site and others are difficult to find.  &#xD;&#xA;Other things were already mentioned, like *tag wikis* and close votes.  &#xD;&#xA;I could also imaging some form of *polls* or *surveys* on meta. On &lt;http://perlmonks.org&gt;, a perl user site similar to SX but written of course in Perl, these surveys are interesting and/or funny. This could be done on Meta quite tidy in one thread (aka question) with small surveys as &quot;answers&quot;. The real survey answers are then pre-defined comments anyone can up-vote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another idea for improvement popped into my mind several times while seeing some bad user code on this side is to create more community wiki pages which describe some common errors and best practices. Maybe an own small version of LaTeX tabu and some small How To's. These pages make then excellent link targets from other questions. Google favors this site and therefore these pages will be found quickly by people which looking for it. In my opinion the community wiki format gives an excellent platform for these kind of shared posts. As moderator I like to encourage the creation and maintenance of these pages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5599/theorem-packages-which-to-use-which-conflict" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

You can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; identify yourself on this continuum by&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the number of questions you answer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; with answers that involve&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `\makeatletter ... \makeatother`&#xD;&#xA;&gt; instead of `\usepackage{}` :-).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; I'm assuming a continuum that is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; roughly *beginner - normal user -&#xD;&#xA;&gt; power user - TeXnician*, but all of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the moderator candidates presumably&#xD;&#xA;&gt; meet the *power user* threshold.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; And while the difference between&#xD;&#xA;&gt; *power user* and *TeXnician* is partially a difference in *knowledge*,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I also see it much more so as a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; difference in *attitude* toward&#xD;&#xA;&gt; solutions than actual knowledge per&#xD;&#xA;&gt; se.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; So, where do you fit on the continuum, and how important do you think it is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that the moderators *represent* the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; continuum, rather than be stacked up&#xD;&#xA;&gt; at one end or the other of it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Joseph Wright**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright) As I'm a member of the [LaTeX3 Project](http://www.latex-project.org/latex3.html), I guess I'm firmly at one end of that spectrum (beyond `\makeatletter` and all the way to &lt;code&gt;\catcode`\@=11\relax&lt;/code&gt;), but my focus as a developer is mainly on making life easier for users. So I'd rather be able to provide an easy-to-follow pre-packaged answer than 'show off' with a long piece of code (depending on the question of course). Now, does it _matter_? That's back with 'what should a moderator do?', where the key thing is to know how to _ask_ questions. I guess in an ideal world we want a balance, so that the moderator team can bring experience of different parts of the TeX world to the site. But that should not be the over-riding criterion: being a good moderator is much more about the community side than the technical detail of questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): I'd put myself somewhere below power user. However, my knowledge of (La)TeX has increased quite a lot in the last few months, simply by reading lots of questions and answers on this site. In my answers I typically prefer simple prepackaged solutions, except when it is unavoidable (which, for drawing pictures, it often is). Does it matter for moderation? I don't think so. The job of moderators isn't to write answers. When they write answers, they do so as normal members in the community. Of course a fair knowledge of the field helps to judge what a good question/answer is and thus should help with moderation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer):&#xD;&#xA;Where I fit on the continuum? Mmmm, I'm more a TeXnician than a power user. I keep coding more LaTeX packages than writing actual content. :-) However, I find it important that good answers are given which can be grasp by beginners or normal users. I don't like it when someone just posts some code without *any* explanation. These good answers should be based on existing packages whenever possible and reasonable, or mention these as alternatives.  &#xD;&#xA;Moderators should have a good knowledge about (La)TeX but I don't think their &quot;rank&quot;, TeXnician or power user etc., is very important. Interest in this site and bringing in drive, responsibility and time are the more important properties. If you are now a total geek or an occasional user doesn't matter that much for the daily moderator's work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Tapankov**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/711/martin-tapankov) I guess I'm somewhat above normal user level, but I wouldn't call myself &quot;power user&quot;. I have learnt a lot from reading questions on the site in the last months, but still I have a long way to go. I have a practical disposition and try to answer questions a bit more thoroughly than what is necessary, in the hope that the answer will be a learning experience for the user instead of a prepackaged copy-and-paste solution. I like it when others do that as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the question about the continuum: For me there is no direct correlation between qualities that make a good moderator and those of a TeXnician. That being said, there are some moderator tasks that can benefit from expert knowledge and insight (tag organization, and wikis come to mind). I think time spent on the site and positive attitude are more important for moderators than the amount of `@`s in their answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**lockstep**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/510/lockstep) On the continuum, I would classify myself somewhere between normal and power user (my answers occasionally involve `\makeatletter`). My &quot;power user&quot; knowledge is for the most part concentrated in the bibliographies/biblatex subject area; apart from that, it's rather my curiosity than my actual LaTeX knowledge that distinguishes me from a normal user. (And the TeX command I use most is `\hyphenation`.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think it's important that at least one community moderator is at the &quot;TeXnician&quot; end so that bad questions/answers about [tag:tex-core] and the like will get identified and sorted out. For the other mods, &quot;normal user&quot; knowledge and a keen interest in the site should suffice." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I'll start with the answer for the benefit of the site.  I think that the ideal new team would comprise of a mix of the pro tem moderators and new moderators.  Unfortunately, we're going from 5 pro tem mods to 3 mods, so even if we had no new people two of the pro tems would have to step down.  (Ideally, I'd go for 4 moderators with 2+2, and while I'm wishing I'd like a pony too).  I consider myself as the least able of the pro tems _in terms of moderating activity_: I've not written any tag wikis, rarely done any tag clean-ups, and when there's a flag then by the time I get there then someone else has almost always taken the appropriate action.  So if there are to be some pro tems in the new team (as I hope that there are), I don't think that I should be one, and I don't want to risk dislodging one of the others or pushing out someone new.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My reason for myself is that I feel I've put quite a bit of time in to this site at the start, and I'm pleased with how it got off the ground (I'm not implying direct causality there!), but now it's time to scale back a bit and be just an ordinary member of the community, just answering questions that catch my interest rather than feeling that I should read most of them.  I'm sure I'll still be as vocal on meta as ever, and hope to be as useful on the main site (I doubt that _all_ the TikZ/PGF questions have been asked yet).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To sum up, what this site needed at the beginning was largely enthusiasm and time.  What it needs now is a broader view of TeX and how this site can benefit the TeX community.  That is something I certainly don't have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew:** I didn't volunteer until now because I consider the pro tem moderators to be doing a great job already, and was kind of hoping they would continue.  Also, I was (perhaps vainly) waiting for someone to bring it up as a possibility.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Stefan:**][1] When there's time given for making important decisions, I tend to use it. Also, I hesitate to speak a lot about myself. Since my feeling clearly says I would like to volunteer, I should write something now. So, see you later on the election page.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Hendrik:**][2] I feel honored that people tried prodding me, and I'm still somewhat tempted to nominate myself, and if it was only for getting the power to edit old comments `:-)` However, my feeling is that being a moderator implicates some responsibility, and at the moment, 1/3 of the responsibility is just too much for me. (By the way, [I _have_ been relatively active on meta.SO recently](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/155585/hendrik-vogt?tab=activity), and I'll probably continue being active there.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213/stefan-kottwitz&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/1235/hendrik-vogt" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

In **questions and answers**, there are only two (quite rare) cases where this might go wrong (see below for backslash escaping of backticks in comments):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. You need a backtick in the inline code. Then you can _either_ use double backticks ` `` ` _or_ &amp;nbsp;`&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`&amp;nbsp; to mark your code. For example, both &#xD;&#xA; - ``` ``\catcode`@=11`` ``` and&#xD;&#xA; - ``&lt;code&gt;\catcode`@=11&lt;/code&gt;``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; give ``\catcode`@=11``. Another example: ``` `` &quot;` `` ``` gives `` &quot;` `` (note the spaces!).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. You want spaces in the beginning and/or the end of the inline code, or you need multiple spaces within. Then you have to use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, which has 3 spaces between &quot;a&quot; and &quot;test&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` is an alternative for backticks, but it behaves differently: You can use HTML entities such as `&amp;nbsp;` inside. For example, `&lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, whereas `` `&amp;nbsp;` `` gives `&amp;nbsp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a rule of thumb, use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` only as a last resort. And then be aware that you can run into trouble if you try to use `&lt;` inside: `&lt;code&gt;a&lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&lt;/code&gt;! The way out: `&lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;. Moreover, `&lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Until February 20, markdown in **comments** [was quite a hassle](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/168/1235). Now the rules are [almost the same as for questions and answers](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/79546/can-we-please-have-a-place-where-changes-to-the-markdown-syntax-are-documented/79981#79981). These are the differences; recents changes are marked bold:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` to mark inline code doesn't work in comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you need a backtick in inline code in a comment, you can **(and must)** escape it (doesn't work in questions/answers!): `` `\catcode\`@=11` `` gives ``\catcode`@=11``.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Maybe the most pestering problem was that you couldn't have a backslash `\` in the _end_ of inline code in comments. **Now double backticks** ` `` ` **can be used in comments**, too, so you can use ` ``\\`` ` to obtain `\\`. (Without the _double_ backticks, the second backslash would be interpreted as an escape for the closing backtick).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One more important recent change: Inline code in comments **can now be followed by a letter**. For example, `` `\vspace`s `` now renders as `\vspace`s.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I'm a pretty experienced LaTeX user and TeX programmer, so have relatively few questions that really fit the site (so far I've only asked one). (The few things I do ask about tend to go to c.t.t, where there are some _very_ experienced TeX programmers.) I hope that has not made me a bad moderator, as in the past I've asked enough questions elsewhere to know _how_ to phrase a good question. So I'd say that asking lots of questions here is not crucial to being a good moderator. What's needed is patience with new members of the community and the ability to explain what _makes_ a good question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep**: I don't think having asked many questions is important for qualifying as a moderator. Stefan Kottwitz and Joseph Wright IMO have been performing excellent as pro tem mods while asking only 4 resp. 1 question(s).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I *do* think, though, that Andrew hit on something important in his chat remark: I wouldn't vote for a mod candidate who only seldom or never casts votes on question/answers. Separating the wheat from the chaff (so to speak) and making the best questions highly visible is a core aspect of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): I guess it does certainly help to know the site from both perspectives, but as the pro tem moderation team has show that it is not strictly necessary. More important is to know *how* to ask a good question and to have some patience with new users that don't know that yet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I was first drawn to this site by a question, and I've definitely asked my fair share and upvoted hundreds of answers.  As a I moderator I would obviously draw upon that experience and treat all users, especially n00bs, with respect.  I can't say that it would make me a better moderator than Joseph (just to use an example of someone who admits he hasn't), but it would make me a better moderator than a version of myself without the experience of the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer): I think that active participation and knowledge of all aspect of tex.sx is important for a moderator. Asking questions is important, but might be one of the lower priorities a moderator should concentrate on. However, asking the right questions which aren't discussed yet, even if the answer is already known to this person, could help to make this site even more valuable then it is right now. Also I can fully understand that some power users, especially well known Gurus, do not come into the situation to need to ask (real) questions here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To pick up the other topic lockstep already mentioned above: I also think *voting* is a much better indicator of the community involvement of a moderator-to-be. This sites lives from votes! Not only to distinguish the good answers from the less good ones, but also to elevate the good users and give them the privileges they deserve and need to participate even more. Votes are our form of *spice* and as we all know [*The spice must flow*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_spice_must_flow)!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** I don't think the two are related. As already pointed out, our current moderators weren't the most avid question askers, but did a commendable job nevertheless. The moderators should know how to tell a good question apart from a bad one, and how to deal with substandard ones (comment, edit, close, delete). Tolerance and &quot;human touch&quot; towards new users is far more important&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Stefan Kottwitz**][2] I think it's important to get familiar with all aspects of the site. This includes the experience of creating one or more questions with our site interface but also dealing with the answers: voting some up or down, how many, which one to choose for accepting, giving feedback in comments, receiving comments and reacting to that. It took me some time to figure out some own questions, because I know how to find answers myself and I'm used to that. But I wished to try posting questions and so I found some which were interesting for me, real and not just for testing--respecting answering TeX users and appreciating their feedback.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** I ask a lot of questions, but I don't think that qualifies me to be a good moderator. I obviously think the questions I ask are good questions and I don't think they should ever require moderator attention. I suppose one aspect of asking questions that is relevant to moderating is thinking carefully about whether a question is a duplicate. I suppose that if you weren't in the habit of asking questions regularly, you might have a different attitude towards this issue. I think when you're learning this stuff, there are questions that seem quite distinct that are obviously the same question to experienced users. So perhaps my having asked a lot of questions makes me more lenient on duplicates?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/86/andrew-stacey&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213/stefan-kottwitz" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

I don't think there should be a distinction in this context. Having at least an excerpt helps during (re)tagging and tag organization (usually performed by mods anyway), so the moderators have some extra incentive to establish some guidelines when a specific tag should be applied or not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** No.  And if you are looking for a moderator to make significant contributions in this regard, do not vote for me because I will disappoint you.  I am happy to keep contribution to questions and answers and being a camp counselor but I don't want to tempt myself into spending a lot of time writing tag wikis.  I *will* seek out and recruit tag wiki authors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep:** For subject areas where they are knowledgeable, community moderators have a higher-than-average responsibility for writing (and revising) tag wikis. For other areas, they should rather pester the &quot;top users&quot; to get some wiki entries started. Once the initial work is done, moderators may suggest possible additional content and act as copy editors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): No. That is the responsibility of all users who have been here sufficiently long to know what the various tags are about. On the other hand, I think the mods have a higher than average responsibility in *editing* and improving the tag wiki pages (e.g. by correcting spelling and trying to keep them consistent), as the list of recent tag wiki changes is only visible with the mod/10k tools.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer): The moderators should make sure that important tasks on tex.sx are getting done. Tag wiki pages are IMHO important. As I already wrote in my candidature post I would like to encourage *all* users to provide good tag wiki suggestions. I made many tag wiki suggestions already in the past and as moderator I will continue to do so even more. I would like to get every user to make suggestions for the tags they are most knowledgeable in. Some tags still need some clarification. Sometimes I'm not sure which area they exactly cover. This things can and should be discussed on Meta. A have the idea to compile a list of to-be-edited tag wiki pages for the more important and frequently used tags.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright][1]** Moderators are high-reputation members of the community in most cases, and so do have a place in writing tags where they do know about them. However, that's purely a member of the community, not as a moderator _per se_. So I would not expect any additional responsibility on moderators in respect of tag writing. (My answer is therefore very similar to several of the other candidates: whether you regard this as a good thing I don't know.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Stefan Kottwitz**][2] Writing tag wikis is a joint effort. I assume mainly tag specialists would edit wikis where they are the experts or propose edits. Moderators could help and keep looking at it in order to keep a good standard. I edited a number of tag wikis, but feeling as a user, not as a moderator. However, moderators could show ideas. For example, I can imagine tag wikis for broad tags being like a good structured mini web site: starting with a description, showing a list of related packages and listing remarkable question on this site, sorted by sub topic, further showing sub tags and closely related tags. This is an idea for the future when we will have to manage a huge amount of material.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** Yes, I think that moderators should have more responsibility for the tag wiki than the rest of us. That doesn't mean that they should write tag wikis for tags they aren't familiar with, that would be counter-productive. But they should make sure the wikis are well structured, clearly written with working links. And if the moderators also happen to be experts in some tags, they certainly should take it upon themselves to write them up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213/stefan-kottwitz" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

With enough rep, users can do most of the housekeeping stuff without moderator intervention, and being here since the start of the private beta, I always had a chance to build up enough reputation before the reputation requirement increases (i.e. at the end of the private beta, and at the end of the public beta). The biggest change seems to be that instead of flagging post for moderator attention, I'll have to react to flags (or just do the work whenever I find it). Maybe participation in meta will increase a bit, but not too much—there is no need to flood it with posts by moderators. And I'm sure, I'd still draw lots of TikZ pictures. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ad chat: I don't see any direct relationship between the chat and moderation. Anything that needs moderator attentions should usually be either flagged or discussed on meta. That said, the chat has been more active lately and I suppose it will stay so in the future.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew**: I think I spend quite a bit of time around here anyway, depending on the sports and political seasons, so I don't think I will be here significantly more.  But I will make a point of paying more attention to meta.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep**: I would have to shift some of the time I spend answering questions of marginal (for me) interest to &quot;janitorial&quot; activities. As for the chat, it's obviously great when elections are up, but I'm still undecided about its general utility.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer): I think I'm already very much involved with the site. However, with the power and the accompanying responsibility of a moderator I will pay more attention to the issues of other people and other outstanding or arising issues. I will have to browse Meta more thoroughly than up till know. I like the chat for quick conversations. Larger or longer lasting things should be discussed on meta.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** I'd check the new questions page more regularly, and look at more questions even when they don't interest me. I'd do more to help new users ask better questions: suggest they add MWEs, change the title if it's not clear... I'd do more housekeeping things like that, I guess. And I would continue to try and improve the tag wikis (which I've only recently started doing.) I think another thing I was thinking of was offering small bounties on long-unanswered upvoted questions in the hopes of stimulating some activity.

If&#xD;&#xA;&gt; not, how do you keep aware of current&#xD;&#xA;&gt; developments in Stack Exchange?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Postscript** - You can see the kind of activity that I regard as a model of engagement in this respect on [Andrew Stacey's meta.SO page](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/138421/andrew-stacey).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir):&#xD;&#xA;No, I haven't been active on meta.SO, mostly because it would be another time sink, and I'd rather use the time for tex.SX. Of course I use it passively from time to time (e.g. to find out how some feature works). To keep up-to-date with recent developments, I regularly read [“Recent feature changes to Stack Exchange”](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/59445/recent-feature-changes-to-stack-exchange) and read the [SX blog](http://blog.stackexchange.com/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright)** The number of posts on the main SO site and on meta.SO makes it impractical to 'watch' it just to pull out the few things that are relevant to us. I already watch quite a lot of TeX-related places, as well as doing LaTeX programming, and I think that's where I'd rather spend my 'TeX time'. I have taken to reading the [SO blog](http://blog.stackexchange.com/) recently, as there are some useful announcements there: in many ways it acts as a 'filtered' version of meta.SO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Martin Tapankov**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/711/martin-tapankov) I don't check meta.SO often (the signal-to-noise ratio is too low to be of much use), but I'm following the StackOverflow blog for announcements of recent changes. I usually ask support questions in our meta, as well as metas of a few other SE sites.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer):&#xD;&#xA;I'm using meta.SO to check up on changes which affect me and to report issues, like the one about [missing *Sportsmanship* badge](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/961/2975) on the [candidate statistic page](http://se.awio.com/election.html), which got resolved very fast after adding a comment on the [related &quot;answer&quot; on meta.SO](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/75454/moderator-nomination-possibly-useful-statistics/75726#75726). As moderator I would like to keep close ties to our *&quot;landlords&quot;* from SO and keep informed about all pending changes to the site and its interface.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**lockstep**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/510/lockstep): At some point in my tex.stackexchange career, I faced the question &quot;What is this 'Suffrage' badge and why did I earn it?&quot; So yes, I occasionally check the &quot;Recent feature changes&quot; site, but no, I haven't been active on meta.SO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** I'm not totally sold on the idea that involvement with meta.SO is a relevant metric. Of course, moderators should understand the site they are nominally in charge of, but does that really mean involving oneself with the meta.SO site? I check the SO blog once in a while, and if there were some issue that wasn't tex.sx specific I suppose I'd ask it in its rightful place, but other than that, I'll pass.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

Among us there are both what&#xD;&#xA;&gt; we might call &quot;power users&quot; and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;TeXnicians&quot; (which is obviously both&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a caricature and a continuum). You can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; identify yourself on this continuum by&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the number of questions you answer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; with answers that involve&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `\makeatletter ... \makeatother`&#xD;&#xA;&gt; instead of `\usepackage{}` :-).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; I'm assuming a continuum that is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; roughly *beginner - normal user -&#xD;&#xA;&gt; power user - TeXnician*, but all of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the moderator candidates presumably&#xD;&#xA;&gt; meet the *power user* threshold.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; And while the difference between&#xD;&#xA;&gt; *power user* and *TeXnician* is partially a difference in *knowledge*,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I also see it much more so as a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; difference in *attitude* toward&#xD;&#xA;&gt; solutions than actual knowledge per&#xD;&#xA;&gt; se.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; So, where do you fit on the continuum, and how important do you think it is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that the moderators *represent* the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; continuum, rather than be stacked up&#xD;&#xA;&gt; at one end or the other of it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Joseph Wright**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright) As I'm a member of the [LaTeX3 Project](http://www.latex-project.org/latex3.html), I guess I'm firmly at one end of that spectrum (beyond `\makeatletter` and all the way to &lt;code&gt;\catcode`\@=11\relax&lt;/code&gt;), but my focus as a developer is mainly on making life easier for users. So I'd rather be able to provide an easy-to-follow pre-packaged answer than 'show off' with a long piece of code (depending on the question of course). Now, does it _matter_? That's back with 'what should a moderator do?', where the key thing is to know how to _ask_ questions. I guess in an ideal world we want a balance, so that the moderator team can bring experience of different parts of the TeX world to the site. But that should not be the over-riding criterion: being a good moderator is much more about the community side than the technical detail of questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): I'd put myself somewhere below power user. However, my knowledge of (La)TeX has increased quite a lot in the last few months, simply by reading lots of questions and answers on this site. In my answers I typically prefer simple prepackaged solutions, except when it is unavoidable (which, for drawing pictures, it often is). Does it matter for moderation? I don't think so. The job of moderators isn't to write answers. When they write answers, they do so as normal members in the community. Of course a fair knowledge of the field helps to judge what a good question/answer is and thus should help with moderation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer):&#xD;&#xA;Where I fit on the continuum? Mmmm, I'm more a TeXnician than a power user. I keep coding more LaTeX packages than writing actual content. :-) However, I find it important that good answers are given which can be grasp by beginners or normal users. I don't like it when someone just posts some code without *any* explanation. These good answers should be based on existing packages whenever possible and reasonable, or mention these as alternatives.  &#xD;&#xA;Moderators should have a good knowledge about (La)TeX but I don't think their &quot;rank&quot;, TeXnician or power user etc., is very important. Interest in this site and bringing in drive, responsibility and time are the more important properties. If you are now a total geek or an occasional user doesn't matter that much for the daily moderator's work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Tapankov**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/711/martin-tapankov) I guess I'm somewhat above normal user level, but I wouldn't call myself &quot;power user&quot;. I have learnt a lot from reading questions on the site in the last months, but still I have a long way to go. I have a practical disposition and try to answer questions a bit more thoroughly than what is necessary, in the hope that the answer will be a learning experience for the user instead of a prepackaged copy-and-paste solution. I like it when others do that as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the question about the continuum: For me there is no direct correlation between qualities that make a good moderator and those of a TeXnician. That being said, there are some moderator tasks that can benefit from expert knowledge and insight (tag organization, and wikis come to mind). I think time spent on the site and positive attitude are more important for moderators than the amount of `@`s in their answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**lockstep**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/510/lockstep) On the continuum, I would classify myself somewhere between normal and power user (my answers occasionally involve `\makeatletter`). My &quot;power user&quot; knowledge is for the most part concentrated in the bibliographies/biblatex subject area; apart from that, it's rather my curiosity than my actual LaTeX knowledge that distinguishes me from a normal user. (And the TeX command I use most is `\hyphenation`.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think it's important that at least one community moderator is at the &quot;TeXnician&quot; end so that bad questions/answers about [tag:tex-core] and the like will get identified and sorted out. For the other mods, &quot;normal user&quot; knowledge and a keen interest in the site should suffice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** I am emphatically a &quot;normal user&quot;. But you need normal users to answer normal user questions. If someone's question is &quot;Why doesn't `&amp;` display an ampersand?&quot;, giving them an answer that involves changing the catcode of `&amp;` and then redefining it as the unicode character for ampersand would be silly. (OK, that would be a silly thing to do regardless of what the question was, but... whatever). I don't think the level of TeXnical ability has much to do with ability to moderate this site. I think, in a way, having at least one moderator who _wasn't_ a TeXnician would be valuable: those of us closer to the ground have more understanding of new users' weak little minds.

I'll start with the answer for the benefit of the site.  I think that the ideal new team would comprise of a mix of the pro tem moderators and new moderators.  Unfortunately, we're going from 5 pro tem mods to 3 mods, so even if we had no new people two of the pro tems would have to step down.  (Ideally, I'd go for 4 moderators with 2+2, and while I'm wishing I'd like a pony too).  I consider myself as the least able of the pro tems _in terms of moderating activity_: I've not written any tag wikis, rarely done any tag clean-ups, and when there's a flag then by the time I get there then someone else has almost always taken the appropriate action.  So if there are to be some pro tems in the new team (as I hope that there are), I don't think that I should be one, and I don't want to risk dislodging one of the others or pushing out someone new.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My reason for myself is that I feel I've put quite a bit of time in to this site at the start, and I'm pleased with how it got off the ground (I'm not implying direct causality there!), but now it's time to scale back a bit and be just an ordinary member of the community, just answering questions that catch my interest rather than feeling that I should read most of them.  I'm sure I'll still be as vocal on meta as ever, and hope to be as useful on the main site (I doubt that _all_ the TikZ/PGF questions have been asked yet).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To sum up, what this site needed at the beginning was largely enthusiasm and time.  What it needs now is a broader view of TeX and how this site can benefit the TeX community.  That is something I certainly don't have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew:** I didn't volunteer until now because I consider the pro tem moderators to be doing a great job already, and was kind of hoping they would continue.  Also, I was (perhaps vainly) waiting for someone to bring it up as a possibility.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Stefan:**][1] When there's time given for making important decisions, I tend to use it. Also, I hesitate to speak a lot about myself. Since my feeling clearly says I would like to volunteer, I should write something now. So, see you later on the election page.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Hendrik:**][2] I feel honored that people tried prodding me, and I'm still somewhat tempted to nominate myself, and if it was only for getting the power to edit old comments `:-)` However, my feeling is that being a moderator implicates some responsibility, and at the moment, 1/3 of the responsibility is just too much for me. (By the way, [I _have_ been relatively active on meta.SO recently](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/155585/hendrik-vogt?tab=activity), and I'll probably continue being active there.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Konrad**: Two factors: one, I am currently *very* hard pressed to meet my (extended) deadline for the master thesis. Two, I actually think that the already nominated candidates are more than adequate and I’m not sure that my contribution will be all that useful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213/stefan-kottwitz&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/1235/hendrik-vogt" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

In this way people would know that you've done your due diligence and tried to work out a solution on their own and failed to do so -- hence the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the question what to do next -- I can certainly understand your frustration. Here on TeX-SE there are questions of any level, from cookie-cutter beginner questions (and I don't say that derisively) to arcane TeX voodoo incantations. However, I personally learned a lot from reading questions and answers, and trying to learn something new all the time. At some point, you will be more confident and try to answer a question on your own, or contribute a useful remark. Ask some other questions you might have (do a quick search in case they have been already answered). Take it easy, and definitely don't get desperate that you can't understand what some questions are really about! &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, you can always drop in the chat (you do need a tiny bit of reputation, but not that much) for a quick short question if something is unclear. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At any rate, we're always happy to help people that would like to learn more about TeX and friends.

If your question is speficically about formatting a float caption, consider to use the {captions} tag.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I suspect that a multitude of question would have to be retagged to conform with such a wiki entry (and with Stefan's entry for [tag:tables], which I deem perfectly appropriate).

After some time, I stumbled back to it and thought this would make an interesting discussion for would-be mods. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A hypothetical situation:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Adam and Bill are both valuable users on TeX-SE, answering questions, helping people around and whatnot. Once, Adam answers a certain question, spending some time to prepare a good minimum working example (which the submitter didn't do), with added explanations of what is going on. Bill, apparently unsatisfied with Adam's answer (which is a perfectly valid solution), takes most of the code that Adam has written, makes a few changes, and posts an answer of his own, without mentioning the code came from another person. Now, this only happens in the course of an hour, so to a casual observer after a day they both seem to be posted at basically the same time. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What happens is that Bill's answer gets a decent amount of upvotes and is accepted (in part due to the reputation delta between them), but Adam, who wrote the original MWE, got only one or two sympathy upvotes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, the questions:&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; - Should Bill credit Adam for the code he reused?&#xD;&#xA; - Is this behaviour acceptable?&#xD;&#xA; - Should the answer to the above be &quot;no&quot;, what steps the moderators should take to rectify the situation?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I understand it's going to be difficult to judge without seeing the actual question, but I ask you to state your opinion based on my (unquestionably biased) description.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It probably goes without saying that these particular Adam and Bill are fictitious, but are based on real users on the site.

Here I'm talking about stuff like arcane TeX wizardry, specific bibliography request, creating special TikZ diagrams and so on. The answerer should be expected to provide more details on parts of the solution if/when requested, but that shouldn't extend to &quot;go through the code and explain every line in a 5-sentence paragraph&quot;.

I've seen at least a few users which were interested in participating, but were frustrated that they cannot even understand what some of the questions are about. Encouraging them to expand on a question that can be answered in a few lines, going from `\usepackage{spam}` and a CTAN link to producing a full (not necessarily minimum) working example will go a long way to retain them as regular users in the future. They will also build up some reputation this way, and as we all very well know, this is the perfect gateway drug into TeX-SE.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In this way TeX-SE could get both quick answers (usually by some of the old-timers), which are later elaborated into a more comprehensive example by users new to TeX for a long-term benefit.

Someone's just edited my stuff!&quot; barrier a lot sooner.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But there are some new etiquette issues brought up by the new system.  The one that I've just encountered - and there may be more - is what to do if I see an edit suggestion that is a definite improvement on what went before, but which I can see how to improve it even further.  There is an &quot;Improve&quot; link on the panel so clearly I'm supposed to be able to do this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's an example: Martin's [answer](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12247/checking-whether-a-file-is-empty/12249#12249) to Yossi Gil's question &quot; http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12247/checking-whether-a-file-is-empty &quot;.  Yossi suggested an improvement, but I could see some further improvements, so I did them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at the history of this question, I see that one of my worries is allayed: Yossi's edit is in the history with mine on top, so it would *appear* as though &quot;edit - improve&quot; is the same as &quot;edit - approve, re-edit&quot;.  Looking at Yossi's reputation, I think that he has also gained the 2 points for the edit (which is as it should be).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But still something feels not quite right, and I'm not sure that I can put my finger on it.  I feel as though I'm stealing something ... intangible ... from Yossi here since he was the one who spotted the need for an edit in the first place but my name is the one that ends up on the question.  Also, it seems easier to reach the &quot;automatically convert to CW&quot; threshold this way so perhaps improvers shouldn't be so ready to improve.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't know.  So, questions: does anyone else feel that there is something in this, or am I being over sensitive?  If the former, does anyone have any suggestions?

The original idea had a somewhat of a lukewarm support, but mostly because the idea was to stretch TeX-SE into something which doesn't really fit the Stack Exchange model. However, there's now a [Code Golf][2] site on the SE network (with somewhat disappointing stats currently), so the Powers That Be are not against the idea in general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Recently the topic was raised by others in chat and in random comments here and there, so I thought I'd give it a second go and see how far it will go this time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll try to lay out some sensible rules to keep it in line with the official policy, as well as checks and balances to prevent abuse. In no particular order:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Frequency.** Not too often so that the normal operation of the site is not disrupted. Once per month is probably frequent enough. Something of a predefined schedule would be a good idea.&#xD;&#xA; - **Previous discussion**. A discussion on meta before announcing the contest on the main site should help spotting some problems in the question-to-be-contest (such as level of interest, difficulty level, real-world applicability).&#xD;&#xA; - **Content**. Real-world problems should be preferred, to provide something more than pure entertainment value for the contestants and the by-standers. Besides, this lines up with the official SE stance on this. At any rate, non-obvious useful challenging problems that would require a few hours of work and some ammount of thinking should be preferred.&#xD;&#xA; - **Eligibility.** The contests should ensure as broad participation as possible, so the questions preferably shouldn't be focused on using a specific technology. Some less used typesetting systems, macro packages and languages would bring extra flavour and interesting solutions to the challenges.&#xD;&#xA; - **Judgement**. This is somewhat tricky, as the rep contributor is the only person that can give the award. At any rate, some more formal evaluation of the entries is desirable, to avoid bias towards e.g. uses of certain technologies (For example, I have basically no knowledge about ConTeXt, so I would not be in a position to say how good a given answer is, and I'd rather award the prize to a solution that uses a familiar technology). An appointed jury of three would work best here, but it will be a stretch of duties to ask the moderators to do the job. &#xD;&#xA; - **Zero tolerance for violating the rules**. The moderators and high-rep users should close as off-topic all attempts to announce a bounty on a question with the intent to spur a contest without jumping through all the hoops.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any sort of feedback is welcome, especially the deeply criticizing kind. Additional considerations I haven't thought of are also appreciated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/496/idea-for-tex-latex-friends-contests&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

(See also [the timeline][2]).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What happened:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. The submitter asked a question with a code excerpt only, without making a compileable minimum working example (MWE).&#xD;&#xA; 2. The question was edited and some fluff was added to illustrate the problem (full disclosure: it was me who did the code edit changes).&#xD;&#xA; 3. Someone added an answer based on the MWE.&#xD;&#xA; 4. Turned out that the proposed solution was breaking other things (that the OP didn't mention, so the real document had to be referenced via a link to figure out what's really the problem).&#xD;&#xA; 5. A completely different solution was offered that solved the issue the submitter had. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the submitter had made an effort to create a MWE the extra work could have been averted (I apologize to Martin Scharrer for the time he had to spend on this).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now the question is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Should incomplete code be edited in the question for the benefit of the user (and potential responders), or should this be the sole responsibility of the original poster?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I see a few pros and cons for editing user's code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Pros:**&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; - Most of the time it works, and everybody's happy.&#xD;&#xA; - The edit might be just what's needed to attract some quick replies, as the code can be copied and compiled without modification.&#xD;&#xA; - No time is lost in back-and-forth communication between the OP and the potential editor.&#xD;&#xA; - No duplicate posts (there has been a similar situation recently, when a new user didn't notice they can edit their own posts, and created a duplicate, which was promptly closed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Cons:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - When it doesn't work, this results in some extra effort to people trying to solve the wrong problem.&#xD;&#xA; - Time is lost when figuring out what's actually wrong, which could have been averted if the OP was asked to provide a MWE by themselves.&#xD;&#xA; - Original submitter might be frustrated that people meddle with their stuff, playing &quot;smart guy&quot; (although with good intentions).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I think the extra editing helps in most of the cases, but when it fails, it does spectacularly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other opinions? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12559/proof-split-over-two-pages&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/posts/12559/timeline" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

In some years we could have 500 questions tagged [tag:headings] without any tag that allows distinguishing chapters, sections and parts. Seems like a mess to me. If I've got a problem with chapter heading spacing or with part page design, I would have to use full-text search or scroll through hundreds section related questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Part headings have their own style, often on a dedicated page. Chapter headings are special, bot in output (displayed label) and in implementation (spacing, special macros for making the head). In contrast, sections, subsections and subsubsection are often done by `\@startsection` and can be treated similarly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have 5 possible tags for each question! That's not designed for using just broad tags. It allows a broad tag, another tag nearly as general, a concrete tag and up to two related tags. Why not use them?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We've got a tag navigation on the right. When I'm browsing the [tag:chapter] questions, I can see the [tag:headings] tag and switch to that for finding broader solutions and packages. If I feel lost among 500 [tag:headings] questions, I look at the right and pick the related tag which matches better: [tag:chapter] or [tag:section] or [tag:part] - it's even a filter: [tag:headings]+[tag:chapters] may match my question perfectly. Similarly, [tag:page-design]+[tag:chapters] leads me to those plain pages questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I suggest, let's keep both general and specific tags. I don't see a problem if we would even have some more tags. It allows specific search. Just broad tags should be used as well then.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let's preserve these tags to the point and let's allow fine filtering with tag combinations - for the future of our growing site."

The submitter asked a question with a code excerpt only, without making a compileable minimum working example (MWE).&#xD;&#xA; 2. The question was edited and some fluff was added to illustrate the problem (full disclosure: it was me who did the code edit changes).&#xD;&#xA; 3. Someone added an answer based on the MWE.&#xD;&#xA; 4. Turned out that the proposed solution was breaking other things (that the OP didn't mention, so the real document had to be referenced via a link to figure out what's really the problem).&#xD;&#xA; 5. A completely different solution was offered that solved the issue the submitter had. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the submitter had made an effort to create a MWE the extra work could have been averted (I apologize to Martin Scharrer for the time he had to spend on this).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now the question is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Should incomplete code be edited in the question for the benefit of the user (and potential responders), or should this be the sole responsibility of the original poster?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I see a few pros and cons for editing user's code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Pros:**&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; - Most of the time it works, and everybody's happy.&#xD;&#xA; - The edit might be just what's needed to attract some quick replies, as the code can be copied and compiled without modification.&#xD;&#xA; - No time is lost in back-and-forth communication between the OP and the potential editor.&#xD;&#xA; - No duplicate posts (there has been a similar situation recently, when a new user didn't notice they can edit their own posts, and created a duplicate, which was promptly closed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Cons:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - When it doesn't work, this results in some extra effort to people trying to solve the wrong problem.&#xD;&#xA; - Time is lost when figuring out what's actually wrong, which could have been averted if the OP was asked to provide a MWE by themselves.&#xD;&#xA; - Original submitter might be frustrated that people meddle with their stuff, playing &quot;smart guy&quot; (although with good intentions).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I think the extra editing helps in most of the cases, but when it fails, it does spectacularly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other opinions? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:** It seems most think that it shouldn't be done in general, or if done, should be careful and clarified.

The alignment reference point is indicated by `&amp;`, which should be placed just before the sign of relation or operation in order to obtain proper spacing. The end of all lines except the last is indicated by `\\`.  The related environment `alignat` allows horizontal&#xD;&#xA;space between equations on the smae line to be explicitly specified.  Both&#xD;&#xA;`align` and `alignat` produce equation numbers; starred versions without numbering are&#xD;&#xA;provided as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sub-environments `aligned` and `alignedat` are building blocks to be used when the&#xD;&#xA;aligned component is only part of a longer multi-line structure. The width of each&#xD;&#xA;component is only as large as necessary, so that it can, for example, be set within&#xD;&#xA;delimiters.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Use of these environments is described in the `amsmath` users guide, which on a TeX Live&#xD;&#xA;system can be accessed by `texdoc amsmath`."

Stefan is also (obviously) correct about the availability of tag navigation and the fact that a question can feature up to five tags. But my proposal was motivated by the very aim that is also important to Stefan: ease of access to particular questions. So let's take a second look at the current tagging situation for [tag:headings] &amp; friends.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Regarding `\chapter`, Stefan has a point in that this macro is implemented in a different way, and that this fact is mirrored in numerous question tagged with [tag:chapter]. Here's an example: [Chapter starts on right hand side](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6227/chapter-starts-on-right-hand-side). On the other hand, there are questions that offer advice which is also valid for lower-level sectioning commands. Again, an example: [How can I display a short chapter name in the header and a long chapter name in the TOC?](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6862/how-can-i-display-a-short-chapter-name-in-the-header-and-a-long-chapter-name-in-t). Note that this question does not featute the [tag:headings] tag, presumably because the questioner was not aware of its more general nature. My point: Even if an additional [tag:chapter] tag may well have merits, *the &quot;broad&quot; concept tag should not be omitted*. (Note: Everything I said about `\chapter` is also valid for the `\part` macro, which has not necessitated a [tag:parts] tag up to now.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming that the [tag:chapter] tag should be preserved does not equal preserving the current situation as a whole. I still maintain that the breakdown of questions into [tag:headings] vs. [tag:sections] happened by rolling the dice, and that a special [tag:sections] tag is a stumbling block for accessing relevant answers about headings in general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My revised proposal thus is: Merge [tag:sections] and [tag:headings] into a new concept tag called [tag:sectioning]. Keep the [tag:chapters] tag, but add the [tag:sectioning] tag to every question tagged with [tag:chapters] because numerous of these questions are also relevant for lower-level sectioning commands (and because &quot;normal&quot; users cannot assess if this is the case for their particular question about `\chapter`). And yes, add a [tag:parts] tag. :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: Used [tag:sectioning] as new term for the broad concept tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 2: Changed [tag:part] to the plural form [tag:parts].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 3: I ask a moderator to do the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Make [tag:sections] and [tag:headings] synonyms of the new concept tag [tag:sectioning]. (I have already created this tag.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If it can be done automatically, add the [tag:sectioning] tag to every qestion tagged with [tag:chapters] *but do not remove the [tag:chapters] tag.* (I suspect this will have to be done manually in the course of the next weeks.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 4: The latest proposal, which will be implemented by manual retagging in the next few weeks, is a general [tag:sectioning] tag plus the specific tags [tag:parts], [tag:chapters], and [tag:sections-paragraphs]."

But only if&#xD;&#xA;  the [comprehensive list](http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/comprehensive.html) or the [detexify](http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html) online tool can't answer your&#xD;&#xA;    question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions such as *What is the best book to start learning LaTeX?*, where many good answers are expected and none will be the right answer, should take the [tag:big-list] tag, and should normally be marked *Community Wiki*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Discouraged tags&#xD;&#xA;----------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Meta-tags, i.e. tags about the kind of question or the person asking the question,&#xD;&#xA;  but not about the *content* or *topic* of the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Examples: [tag:subjective], [tag:beginners], [tag:best-practices].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  A special exception is made for the [tag:big-list] tag, which is a meta-tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The [tag:latex] or [tag:latex2e] tags. Questions are, by default, assumed to be about&#xD;&#xA;  the LaTeX language/system. Unless your question is *specifically* about another&#xD;&#xA;  format (e.g. [tag:context]) or *specifically* about a TeX compiler (e.g. [tag:pdftex]),&#xD;&#xA;  **you don't need to specify you're using LaTeX**. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The [tag:tex] tag. If your question is specifically about TeX primitives or the TeX&#xD;&#xA;  system (as opposed to LaTeX), **use [tag:tex-core] instead**.

Then you have to use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, which has 3 spaces between &quot;a&quot; and &quot;test&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` is an alternative for backticks, but it behaves differently: You can use HTML entities such as `&amp;nbsp;` inside. For example, `&lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, whereas `` `&amp;nbsp;` `` gives `&amp;nbsp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a rule of thumb, use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` only as a last resort. And then be aware that you can run into trouble if you try to use `&lt;` inside: `&lt;code&gt;a&lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&lt;/code&gt;! The way out: `&lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;. Moreover, `&lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Until February 20, markdown in **comments** [was quite a hassle](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/168/1235). Now the rules are [almost the same as for questions and answers](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/79546/can-we-please-have-a-place-where-changes-to-the-markdown-syntax-are-documented/79981#79981). These are the differences; recents changes are marked bold:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` to mark inline code doesn't work in comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you need a backtick in inline code in a comment, you can **(and must)** escape it (doesn't work in questions/answers!): `` `\catcode\`@=11` `` gives ``\catcode`@=11``.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Maybe the most pestering problem was that you couldn't have a backslash `\` in the _end_ of inline code in comments. **Now double backticks** ` `` ` **can be used in comments**, too, so you can use ` ``\\`` ` to obtain `\\`. (Without the _double_ backticks, the second backslash would be interpreted as an escape for the closing backtick).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One more important recent change: Inline code in comments **can now be followed by a letter**. For example, `` `\vspace`s `` now renders as `\vspace`s.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

Stefan is also (obviously) correct about the availability of tag navigation and the fact that a question can feature up to five tags. But my proposal was motivated by the very aim that is also important to Stefan: ease of access to particular questions. So let's take a second look at the current tagging situation for [tag:headings] &amp; friends.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Regarding `\chapter`, Stefan has a point in that this macro is implemented in a different way, and that this fact is mirrored in numerous question tagged with [tag:chapter]. Here's an example: [Chapter starts on right hand side](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6227/chapter-starts-on-right-hand-side). On the other hand, there are questions that offer advice which is also valid for lower-level sectioning commands. Again, an example: [How can I display a short chapter name in the header and a long chapter name in the TOC?](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6862/how-can-i-display-a-short-chapter-name-in-the-header-and-a-long-chapter-name-in-t). Note that this question does not featute the [tag:headings] tag, presumably because the questioner was not aware of its more general nature. My point: Even if an additional [tag:chapter] tag may well have merits, *the &quot;broad&quot; concept tag should not be omitted*. (Note: Everything I said about `\chapter` is also valid for the `\part` macro, which has not necessitated a [tag:parts] tag up to now.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming that the [tag:chapter] tag should be preserved does not equal preserving the current situation as a whole. I still maintain that the breakdown of questions into [tag:headings] vs. [tag:sections] happened by rolling the dice, and that a special [tag:sections] tag is a stumbling block for accessing relevant answers about headings in general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My revised proposal thus is: Merge [tag:sections] and [tag:headings] into a new concept tag called [tag:sectioning]. Keep the [tag:chapters] tag, but add the [tag:sectioning] tag to every question tagged with [tag:chapters] because numerous of these questions are also relevant for lower-level sectioning commands (and because &quot;normal&quot; users cannot assess if this is the case for their particular question about `\chapter`). And yes, add a [tag:parts] tag. :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: Used [tag:sectioning] as new term for the broad concept tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 2: Changed [tag:part] to the plural form [tag:parts].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 3: I ask a moderator to do the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Make [tag:sections] and [tag:headings] synonyms of the new concept tag [tag:sectioning]. (I have already created this tag.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If it can be done automatically, add the [tag:sectioning] tag to every qestion tagged with [tag:chapters] *but do not remove the [tag:chapters] tag.* (I suspect this will have to be done manually in the course of the next weeks.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 4: The latest proposal, which will be implemented by manual retagging in the next few weeks, is a general [tag:sectioning] tag plus the specific tags [tag:parts], [tag:chapters], and [tag:sections-paragraphs].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 5: Also, some of the questions currently tagged with [tag:paragraphs] (which deals with `\par`) will have to be retagged as [tag:sectioning] [tag:sections-paragraphs]."

I don't want to send it to CW inadvertently, and I want to check my edits with the original author, so I'm using this place as a &quot;sandbox&quot; to test my edits.  Others are welcome to edit as well - I'm making _this_ copy CW!  If we can come up with a version that captures the original spirit and focusses the question, and the original author is happy with, then someone can copy it across to the original.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Although many academic journals readily accept submissions in some format of TeX, indeed some enlightened ones _insist_ on it, it is rare that one can simply send exactly the same document that one has been working on as a submission.  Most journals insist on authors using their &quot;house class file&quot;, and some have specific style files that define &quot;common macros&quot;.  Some journals further make one or both of the following demands:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. That the submission be a single file,&#xD;&#xA; 2. That all unnecessary macros be removed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example in [BioMed Central TeX template files](http://www.cbcb.umd.edu/~florea/research/ftp/readme.html) (the linked page seems to be an unofficial copy, but I could not find an official one online), Sections 2.2 and 2.3 say:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **2.2:** In order to submit a manuscript as a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; .tex file to BioMed Central, you must&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; - use the BioMed Central template&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - format your references with BibTeX using the bmc_article.bst style file&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - not rely on any non-standard macros, classes or files&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; **2.3:** Make sure that you only a single .tex document for the entire&#xD;&#xA;&gt; manuscript, as you will need to upload&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it as a single file (together with its&#xD;&#xA;&gt; associated formatted bibliography&#xD;&#xA;&gt; file). Do not use the \input command&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to include other .tex files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Obviously, some journals adhere to these more strictly than others and the first thing to do is to determine whether these requests are enforced or not (and what, exactly, is considered &quot;non-standard&quot;).  So let us suppose that this has been done and the answer is: yes, these are enforced.  Then the question is: how does one do this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In all likelihood, there is not a simple answer, in which case it will be extremely valuable to know what strategies and workflows others have employed.  (But **please** do **not** name-and-shame journals who make these requests.  It may not be the journal but the publisher, and I'm sure that the journals could provide equally horrific stories of the TeX-mangling that they've received.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing to take note of is that the additional files may not just be style files or bibliography files but images as well.  For example, in the BioMed instructions given above, the reason given for this request is that the upload is to be a _single file_ (and let us, for the sake of argument, assume that archived files are not allowed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus we can divide this in to various scenarios:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The journal asks that the submission contain only one **TeX file**.  So image files and bibliography files are fine as extras.  We assume also that it is possible to identify which extra files should be included, but they may be a combination of user-written style files and packages downloaded from CTAN.  The task is to fold all of these in to a single file.  **How do we make these in to a single file, and what pitfalls are there to be aware of?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The journal asks that the submission contain only one **file** in total.  Now we wish to embed non-standard type files into our TeX file.  **Is this possible?**  and if so, how, and what pitfalls are there to be wary of?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. The journal asks that _unnecessary_ macros/commands be removed.  Are there any strategies for going through a document and identifying those commands which have been defined but never used?"

The point is purely to bring these to people's attention who might not otherwise spot them.

This auto-indents the highlighted code by 4 spaces.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Syntax highlighting ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By default, your code gets some LaTeX syntax highlighting. (This doesn't work on meta.tex.sx, so unfortunately you can't see it here.) If you _don't_ want this syntax highlighting, you can use a special HTML comment to specify the language. For _no highlighting_, use&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;        (J:\MiKTeX2.9\tex\latex\elsarticle\elsarticle.cls&#xD;&#xA;        Document Class: elsarticle 2009/09/17, 1.2.0: Elsevier Ltd&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(You wouldn't want `\MiKTeX` to be highlighted as a control sequence, right?) Note that the HTML comment must _not_ be indented, and that the blank line between the `&lt;!-- language: ... --&gt;` and the indented code block is _required_. For a list of supported languages have a look here: [Manually specify language for syntax highlighting](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/78363/manually-specify-language-for-syntax-highlighting/81971#81971).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Emphasizing pieces of the code ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want to highlight parts of your code using **bold** or _slanted_ text, or if you want to &lt;s&gt;strike something out&lt;/s&gt;, you have to use the HTML `&lt;pre&gt;` tag instead of 4 space indentation. For example,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;gives&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;\documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;\usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For striking something out, use `&lt;s&gt;...&lt;/s&gt;`.&#xD;&#xA;Using just `&lt;pre&gt;` you don't get syntax highlighting, so you can use this as an alternative to `&lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;`. Be careful, however, to use `&amp;lt;` and `&amp;gt;` if you want `&lt;` and `&gt;` in `&lt;pre&gt;` blocks; you may also need `&amp;amp;` for `&amp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want syntax highlighting _and_ additional emphasis in **bold** or _slanted_, use `&lt;code&gt;` inside the `&lt;pre&gt;` block:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;\documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that there's no line break after `&lt;code&gt;`; otherwise the code block would start with an empty line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Code blocks in lists ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If your code appears inside a list, you must indent a _further four spaces_ for every level of nesting. An example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    1. The first point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;            This is the code&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    1. The second point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;gives&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The first point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        This is the code&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1.

[tag:citing] tags , although the problem is about formatting the `thebibliograpyhy` environment resp. citation commands (Example question: [Reduce bibliography to one line][4]).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I suggest (besides retagging the third category) to split the [tag:bibtex] tag into [tag:bibtex-format] and [tag:bibtex-program].

In my opinion, they can be divided into three categories (nicely represented by the three questions with the highest vote number):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Questions about the BibTeX format -- its possibilities and pitfalls, and how to obtain/create/modify files in this format (Example question: [What are good sites to find citations in BibTex format?][2]);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Questions about the BibTeX program -- how to use it, and how to obtain/create/modify `.bst` (BibTeX style) files (Example question: [BibTeX style that groups by author][3]);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Question that use [tag:bibtex] as a complement/surrogate for the [tag:bibliographies] resp. [tag:citing] tags , although the problem is about formatting the `thebibliograpyhy` environment resp. citation commands (Example question: [Reduce bibliography to one line][4]).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I suggest (besides retagging the third category) to split the [tag:bibtex] tag into [tag:bibtex-format] and [tag:bibtex-program]. I do so especially for the following reasons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Being familiar with the BibTeX format does not equate to being versed in `.bst` hackery. (Case in point: At the moment, I'm the [top user][5] of the [tag:bibtex] tag, and I know next to nothing about the `.bst` format. I guess Herbert would be the top user of [tag:bibtex-program].)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The BibTeX format will be supported by `biblatex` in the future, while usage of the BibTeX program as a backend for `biblatex` will be terminated (see PLK's comment to [this](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/13573/biblatex-style-with-multiple-bibliographies-in-one-document/13575#13575) answer).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/tags/bibtex/info&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/143/what-are-good-sites-to-find-citations-in-bibtex-format&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/961/bibtex-style-that-groups-by-author&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5571/reduce-bibliography-to-one-line&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/tags/bibtex/topusers" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 2.5" />

Stefan is also (obviously) correct about the availability of tag navigation and the fact that a question can feature up to five tags. But my proposal was motivated by the very aim that is also important to Stefan: ease of access to particular questions. So let's take a second look at the current tagging situation for [tag:headings] &amp; friends.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Regarding `\chapter`, Stefan has a point in that this macro is implemented in a different way, and that this fact is mirrored in numerous question tagged with [tag:chapter]. Here's an example: [Chapter starts on right hand side](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6227/chapter-starts-on-right-hand-side). On the other hand, there are questions that offer advice which is also valid for lower-level sectioning commands. Again, an example: [How can I display a short chapter name in the header and a long chapter name in the TOC?](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6862/how-can-i-display-a-short-chapter-name-in-the-header-and-a-long-chapter-name-in-t). Note that this question does not featute the [tag:headings] tag, presumably because the questioner was not aware of its more general nature. My point: Even if an additional [tag:chapter] tag may well have merits, *the &quot;broad&quot; concept tag should not be omitted*. (Note: Everything I said about `\chapter` is also valid for the `\part` macro, which has not necessitated a [tag:parts] tag up to now.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming that the [tag:chapter] tag should be preserved does not equal preserving the current situation as a whole. I still maintain that the breakdown of questions into [tag:headings] vs. [tag:sections] happened by rolling the dice, and that a special [tag:sections] tag is a stumbling block for accessing relevant answers about headings in general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My revised proposal thus is: Merge [tag:sections] and [tag:headings] into a new concept tag called [tag:sectioning]. Keep the [tag:chapters] tag, but add the [tag:sectioning] tag to every question tagged with [tag:chapters] because numerous of these questions are also relevant for lower-level sectioning commands (and because &quot;normal&quot; users cannot assess if this is the case for their particular question about `\chapter`). And yes, add a [tag:parts] tag. :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: Used [tag:sectioning] as new term for the broad concept tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 2: Changed [tag:part] to the plural form [tag:parts].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 3: I ask a moderator to do the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Make [tag:sections] and [tag:headings] synonyms of the new concept tag [tag:sectioning]. (I have already created this tag.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If it can be done automatically, add the [tag:sectioning] tag to every qestion tagged with [tag:chapters] *but do not remove the [tag:chapters] tag.* (I suspect this will have to be done manually in the course of the next weeks.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 4: The latest proposal, which will be implemented by manual retagging in the next few weeks, is a general [tag:sectioning] tag plus the specific tags [tag:parts], [tag:chapters], and [tag:sections-paragraphs].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 5: Also, some of the questions currently tagged with [tag:paragraphs] (which deals with `\par`) will have to be retagged as [tag:sectioning] [tag:sections-paragraphs].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 6: Moderators: The question can be tagged as [meta-tag:status-completed]."

I will answer some questions that might come up right away:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. **How is this version better than the last?:** Users can vote for and against training samples (much like answers here on stackexchange). This should help to identify the best samples which are then used in the recognition.&#xD;&#xA;2. **Why would I train a symbol and vote on samples?**: The recognitions gets better the better the samples are. Also you get karma points if other users upvote your samples.&#xD;&#xA;3. **How can I train a symbol?**: You need to log in (with a Twitter Account) to be able to train symbols.&#xD;&#xA;4. **How can I vote for a sample?**: You need to log in (with a Twitter Account) to be able to vote for a sample.&#xD;&#xA;5. **Do you want to hijack my twitter account?:** No – I just don't want anonymous samples.

If there's only one diagram, it's easy to label it by putting it in a suitable mathematics environment (`equation`, for example).

If you'd like to point the moderator's attention to an issue related to a particular question and answer, use the *Flag* button below every post. You might find the already predefined categories useful, but if not, use the free edit field to describe your problem. This is the method that would guarantee you the fastest reply. You only need 15 reputation in order to do this. Moderators can respond back through a message in your global inbox, or at certain isolated cases, through email. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Hang out in chat**. If a matter requires a lengthy discussion with back-and-forth posts, this is probably the most efficient way to do it. Be sure to address the moderator with @ before their screen name, so that they would get a notification even if not in chat currently. Moderators hang out in chat often, and there are also some old-time users which might be of assistance as well. You only need 20 reputation in order to join the chat room permanently, otherwise you are restricted to only 2 hours there &lt;sup&gt;[citation needed]&lt;/sup&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Post a meta question**. If your issue concerns the TeX-SE community at large rather than only you personally, consider posting a question on [our meta][1]. Moderators monitor meta activity frequently, and will be able to respond in due time. You only need 5 reputation to do this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How **NOT** to attract moderator attention:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Do not create questions, answers and comments, hijacking unrelated discussions.** These will be quickly closed as off-topic or thoroughly deleted, and a moderator might heed your call for attention with a gentle reminder to read the FAQ before posting in this manner. This only creates extra noise and work for everybody on the site, so avoid this practice and choose other venues to communicate your problem to the moderators.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you remove everything you just added, perform a binary search by removing halves of the document until you can narrow it down. Then, post the section which caused the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Often, this process will help you to discover the problem and solution yourself!*  If this happens, please still post your minimal example, add your solution as an answer, and accept it later.  This way, future readers can benefit from your work (and you can get a [self-learner][5] badge if your solution was novel enough to get some upvotes!)&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;A better approach to the &quot;I tried to compile...&quot; example above would be something like:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I am trying to typeset the following equation:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \documentclass{article}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \begin{document}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     Alpha particles (named after and denoted by the first letter in the&#xD;&#xA;    Greek alphabet,\[\alpha\]) consist of two protons and two neutrons bound&#xD;&#xA;    together.&#xD;&#xA;    This means that an \[\alfa\] particle is a helium nucleus. &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \end{document}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   But when I compile it with LaTeX I get this error message:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     [22]&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     Undefined control sequence:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \alfa&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     `An \[\alfa\] particle is a helium nucleus.`&#xD;&#xA;&gt; What am I doing wrong?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Enhancements##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other questions are not related to errors, but to a desired effect that the user wants to achieve, of the form:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I want to put (thing) at (place).  How do I do that?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The MWE in this case should: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* be a full document including `\documentclass`, a preamble, `\begin{document}`, and `\end{document}`. &#xD;&#xA;* include enough dummy text to make the document look like the one you're writing.  The [`lipsum`](http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum) and [`blindtext`](http://ctan.org/pkg/blindtext) packages are helpful here in that they provide macros to make lots of text without actually having to type lots of text.&#xD;&#xA;* have your best-so-far implementation of the desired effect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Try to keep your vocabulary accessible---do not assume that because many experts in your field use TeX that all TeX users are familiar with your field.  A question about typesetting affine Dynkin diagrams will not get answered until you find someone who knows TeX *and* math.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have enough reputation to include images, please do.  Images of both the desired effect (mocked up or copied from another document), and the result of your best-so-far implementation.  If you do not have enough reputation to include images, upload to http://imgur.com/ anyway and post the links (an editor will include the images for you).  If you do not have enough reputation to post links, enter the bare URLs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://sscce.org&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://theoval.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~nlct/latex/minexample/minexample.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=minxampl&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.minimalbeispiel.de/mini-en.html&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/badges/14/self-learner" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As is standard on FAQs, if there's something you'd like to know that isn't here, [just ask](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ask).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### &quot;How Do I ...&quot; Questions&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/598/86&#xD;&#xA;1. http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/863/how-do-i-mark-inline-code&#xD;&#xA;1. http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1192/how-do-i-mark-code-blocks&#xD;&#xA;1. http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/374/link-to-editing-help&#xD;&#xA;1. http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/11866/86 (for example, to include it as an image in a question)&#xD;&#xA;1. http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1272/86 Not quite a &quot;how do I ..&quot;, but if you're coming from a different SE site you might expect stuff between dollar signs to get converted to mathematics automatically&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### What Should I Know _Before_ Asking a Question?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Alternative title: How do I ask a question in the most effective way?)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### &quot;Something Weird Just Happened&quot; Questions&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1.

There have been some really neat answers to problems developed on the site, and I think it would be nice to put them together in to some sort of easily usable state.  My reasons are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It's easier to download a single package/style file than to cut and paste a load of code from here, there, and everywhere into ones preamble.&#xD;&#xA;1. Some of the code could do with a bit of polishing (for example, putting in to a macro, hiding internal bits) that are standard when making a package, but not when posting an answer here. &#xD;&#xA;1. **Publicity:** Ideally, these would get used and the people who used them would find out about us.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By doing this as a collective venture, I hope that:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It is a real _community_ project.  I'm not so naive that I think that loads of people will do the necessary work, but hopefully lots of people will see what's going on and at least feel as though it's based on the community's collective work.&#xD;&#xA;1. It isn't loads of work for any one person.  Most of the stuff I'm thinking of is already workable, so I'm hoping it won't take too much work to put it together.&#xD;&#xA;1. This is only the first of many ...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On that last note, I'm picking TikZ because it's the area I think I've contributed most to.  Also, there's a reasonable volume of TikZ answers here to choose from, and a good number of people contributing them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**First Steps:** We need some code to put in the package, and some volunteers willing to take part.  I think that we can adapt the SE software to gather all that information here! So:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you like or dislike the idea, vote on **this question** accordingly.&#xD;&#xA;1. Propose (and link to) TikZ/PGF answers on the main site that you would like to see in such a package in answers to this question, one link per answer.  Also vote for those you like (but the people who volunteer to put it together will have the final say).  Please bear in mind that to be worth putting in a package, it has to be something that you can envision being used several times.  **Proposing your own answers** is not only acceptable but actively encouraged.  If, when reading an answer, something occurs to you as a possible improvement, please make a note of it (just the idea at this stage).&#xD;&#xA;1. In **one** answer, we can collect names of volunteers who are willing to do a bit of extra work polishing the answers.  I'll start this off, make it CW, and &quot;accept&quot; it (when I can) to ensure that it is easily distinguished from the rest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Template for proposals&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ### TikZ/PGF Answer:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ### Brief Description:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ### Possible Improvements:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Further discussion on this topic is available here:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1248/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You the questioner probably do not know the difference between the two!  So think about it from the point of view of the answerer.  To ensure that the answer she provides is sound, she will probably want to create a sample document, make the changes she recommends, and check that it works.  If she *thinks* she knows the answer but doesn't have the time to create a sample document, she may in the interest of quality control refrain from answering at this time.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So make it easy for potential answerers!  Give them a block of code that can be copied, pasted directly into a file, compiled, tweaked, corrected, and pasted back.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here *minimal* means that the problem is isolated and there is nothing in the sample that distracts from the error you have or the effect you desire.  *Working* doesn't mean the problem is solved `:-)`, it means the code sample can be copied-and-pasted and directly compiled.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The site [sscce.org][1] is dedicated to the topic.  There are also several articles on the topic as it applies specifically to LaTeX:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [“Creating a LaTeX Minimal Example”][2] (PDF) from Dr. Nicola's LaTeX resources&#xD;&#xA;* [“How to make a ‘minimum example’”][3] from the UK TeX FAQ&#xD;&#xA;* [“What is a minimal working example?”][4] from the de.comp.text.tex newsgroup.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Errors##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I didn't see your question, but I'm guessing that you got some error you haven't seen before, and said something to the effect of &#xD;&#xA;&gt;I tried to compile, but I got the error `Undefined control sequence.'  How can I fix it?  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is next to impossible to answer, unless you expect only answers from psychics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead, look at the line numbers, and post that paragraph or sentence, depending on the scope of the error.  You'll have to add any referenced packages or other components which are critical to the compilation of the section, but make it as focused as possible on the part which is the source of the error. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If there are no helpful line numbers, (make a backup and then) begin removing things you added after the last successful compile.  If you remove everything you just added, perform a binary search by removing halves of the document until you can narrow it down. Then, post the section which caused the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Often, this process will help you to discover the problem and solution yourself!*  If this happens, please still post your minimal example, add your solution as an answer, and accept it later.  This way, future readers can benefit from your work (and you can get a [self-learner][5] badge if your solution was novel enough to get some upvotes!)&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;A better approach to the &quot;I tried to compile...&quot; example above would be something like:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I am trying to typeset the following equation:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \documentclass{article}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \begin{document}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     Alpha particles (named after and denoted by the first letter in the&#xD;&#xA;    Greek alphabet,\[\alpha\]) consist of two protons and two neutrons bound&#xD;&#xA;    together.&#xD;&#xA;    This means that an \[\alfa\] particle is a helium nucleus. &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \end{document}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   But when I compile it with LaTeX I get this error message:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     [22]&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     Undefined control sequence:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \alfa&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     `An \[\alfa\] particle is a helium nucleus.`&#xD;&#xA;&gt; What am I doing wrong?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Enhancements##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other questions are not related to errors, but to a desired effect that the user wants to achieve, of the form:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I want to put (thing) at (place).  How do I do that?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The MWE in this case should: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* be a full document including `\documentclass`, a preamble, `\begin{document}`, and `\end{document}`. &#xD;&#xA;* include enough dummy text to make the document look like the one you're writing.  The [`lipsum`](http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum) and [`blindtext`](http://ctan.org/pkg/blindtext) packages are helpful here in that they provide macros to make lots of text without actually having to type lots of text.&#xD;&#xA;* have your best-so-far implementation of the desired effect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Try to keep your vocabulary accessible—do not assume that because many experts in your field use TeX that all TeX users are familiar with your field.  A question about typesetting affine Dynkin diagrams will not get answered until you find someone who knows TeX *and* math.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have enough reputation to include images, please do.  Images of both the desired effect (mocked up or copied from another document), and the result of your best-so-far implementation.  If you do not have enough reputation to include images, upload to http://imgur.com/ anyway and post the links (an editor will include the images for you).  If you do not have enough reputation to post links, enter the bare URLs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://sscce.org&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://theoval.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~nlct/latex/minexample/minexample.pdf&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=minxampl&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.minimalbeispiel.de/mini-en.html&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/badges/14/self-learner" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I propose to flag for moderator attention questions of this sort with a comment based on &quot;Ill-posed and abandoned migrated text&quot;, and add a comment to them linking to this meta thread.

The advantage of going the flag route is that the flag text marks these items out, and so allows them to be dealt with a bit more expediently.

Waiting for the OP to edit it could take days in some cases.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is also the other directions: Some questions are about some solution for/using a specific thing which isn't really required. This means neither the problem nor the solution is specific for it. For example, I recently changed the title [of a question asking about a list of to-be-ignored auxiliary files](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/17845/which-auxiliary-latex-files-should-be-ignored-by-version-control-software) from specifically referencing GIT (a version control software) to version control (VC) in general. The way that list is provided to the software may be different but is not part of the question (and would be off-topic anyway). However the same list can be used for many different VC software products. So if someone is looking for that list for, say Subversion, the answers will also help and so there is no reason to have to have a Git specific title." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Marked duplicates provide a pointer to the other question and thus make the question's visibility in searches higher. They provide additional phrases and keywords for search engines to work with.

Now that doesn't mean that material cannot be deleted, but that it is for the community to decide whether or not the material is useful enough to stay.  In this respect, my view is that moderators exist to expedite matters: if something is posted that _clearly_ does not belong here then they can step in.  But if it is a grey area, the moderators should hold back and let the community decide.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Note that this is the opposite of the role of moderators on many other forums.  There, moderators step in to decide what to do in the grey areas.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To sum up:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Once a post has significant contributions from more than one person, it ceases to be a matter for them to decide alone.&#xD;&#xA;1. There is a due process for deletion by the community and it should be followed.

Firstly, with regard to the &quot;pollution&quot;.  I'm not usually an advocate of tags, but this is one case where I think that the tag system works.  TikZ/PGF questions are easily identifiable as such and usually correctly tagged, so using the ignore or follow features of tags should actually work here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Secondly, with regard to having a separate forum, I don't see any advantages to this.  The main point is that there is no clear separation of **users**.  I answer quite a lot of TikZ questions, but I ask quite a lot of non-TikZ questions (and sometimes answer if they're easy enough).  For both, I'm in the same &quot;mental state&quot;.  If I see a TikZ question and I'm thinking about TeX-related stuff, then I don't have to &quot;shift gears&quot; mentally to think about the TikZ question, and vice versa.  On the other hand, if I was browsing MathOverflow and came across a TeX question then I would have to do that mental shift, showing that TeX questions don't belong there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lastly, I think that TikZ/PGF questions benefit the site.  I don't think it is big enough to lose a large section of its questions, and they do draw people here.  They also provide a showcase of things that might just make dull papers a little more interesting to read.  Think of it as a &quot;Look what I can do!&quot; (in the nicest possible way, of course)."

This auto-indents the highlighted code by 4 spaces (and also adds the empty lines in the beginning and in the end).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Syntax highlighting ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By default, your code gets some LaTeX syntax highlighting. (This doesn't work on meta.tex.sx, so unfortunately you can't see it here.) If you _don't_ want this syntax highlighting, you can use a special HTML comment to specify the language. For _no highlighting_, use&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;        (J:\MiKTeX2.9\tex\latex\elsarticle\elsarticle.cls&#xD;&#xA;        Document Class: elsarticle 2009/09/17, 1.2.0: Elsevier Ltd&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(You wouldn't want `\MiKTeX` to be highlighted as a control sequence, right?) Note that the HTML comment must _not_ be indented, and that the blank line between the `&lt;!-- language: ... --&gt;` and the indented code block is _required_. For a list of supported languages have a look here: [Manually specify language for syntax highlighting](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/78363/manually-specify-language-for-syntax-highlighting/81971#81971).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Emphasizing pieces of the code ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want to highlight parts of your code using **bold** or _slanted_ text, or if you want to &lt;s&gt;strike something out&lt;/s&gt;, you have to use the HTML `&lt;pre&gt;` tag instead of 4 space indentation. For example,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;gives&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;\documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;\usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For striking something out, use `&lt;s&gt;...&lt;/s&gt;`.&#xD;&#xA;Using just `&lt;pre&gt;` you don't get syntax highlighting, so you can use this as an alternative to `&lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;`. Be careful, however, to use `&amp;lt;` and `&amp;gt;` if you want `&lt;` and `&gt;` in `&lt;pre&gt;` blocks; you may also need `&amp;amp;` for `&amp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want syntax highlighting _and_ additional emphasis in **bold** or _slanted_, use `&lt;code&gt;` inside the `&lt;pre&gt;` block:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;\documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that there's no line break after `&lt;code&gt;`; otherwise the code block would start with an empty line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Code blocks in lists ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If your code appears inside a list, you must indent a _further four spaces_ for every level of nesting. An example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    1. The first point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;            This is the code&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    1. The second point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;gives&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The first point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        This is the code&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The second point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So you need 8 spaces in the first level, 12 spaces in the second level and so on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Code blocks in blockquotes ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A blockquote is started with &lt;code&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, and a code block with 4 space, so for a code block within a blockquote you need _5_ spaces after the `&gt;`. An example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &gt; This is (not) a quote from the TeXbook, and here's some code:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    &gt;     \relax&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;gives&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This is (not) a quote from the TeXbook, and here's some code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \relax&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

They are based on the following two side effects of editing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. An edit on a question or answer bumps that question to the top of the _active_ list.&#xD;&#xA;2. An edit on a question or answer puts the editor's name as the &quot;last activity by&quot; name on the _active_ list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So if either of these is not desirable, **do not edit**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let me outline a couple of scenarios where this might apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. For the first case, whilst it is beneficial to clean up old questions and answers, if all that they need is the edit (that is, there isn't any need for a new answer or new comment) then putting it back on the frontpage means that another question which does need more active attention is taken off.  Whilst one question isn't much, doing this for several can inhibit the normal activity of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. For the second case, if someone does a lot of edits (or retags) then seeing several posts with &quot;edited by X&quot; on the frontpage makes it difficult to distinguish between new posts, old posts with new answers, and old posts that don't need any further attention.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are, no doubt, other scenarios where it would not be appropriate to edit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My general point is that when editing, it is important to remember that a question has two (at least) stages in its life-cycle.  When it first appears on the site, then the important thing is that it be answered.  Thus edits should confine themselves to those that make the question clearer and easier to understand (with the proviso that if doing such an edit then correcting other minor issues is then made acceptable as well).  Later, when the question has been satisfactorily answered, it becomes a _resource_ and then it would be nice to fix those minor irritations to &quot;make the internet a better place&quot;.  But whilst in this stage it is more acceptable to do these minor edits, that style of editing should not interfere with questions that are still in the _first_ stage of their life.  Also, it is possible for a question to rejuvenate and go from the second stage to the first again (new information, new answer, and so forth).  In that case, the first set of edits apply again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, when a question is on the front page then all attention is on it and it is easy to see the errors that need correcting, and all too easy to forget them later.  Maybe we should have an &quot;editors' chatroom&quot; where people can record questions that they'd later like to go back and edit.  That would also enable others to see the proposed corrections and add their own (sometimes I see an edit and think, &quot;Oh, but you missed X, Y, and Z!&quot; but they are in themselves too minor to edit for)."

Text="The simplest way is to surround the inline code by backticks `` ` ``: To get the output `\section`, just type `` `\section` ``. If you don't like typing backticks, you can also highlight the inline code and hit &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt; (or click the &quot;code&quot; button, with &quot;{ }&quot; on it), but this doesn't work in comments. In **questions and answers**, there are only two (quite rare) cases where things might go wrong (see below for backslash escaping of backticks in comments):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. You need a backtick in the inline code. Then you can _either_ use double backticks ` `` ` _or_ &amp;nbsp;`&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`&amp;nbsp; to mark your code. For example, both &#xD;&#xA; - ``` ``\catcode`@=11`` ``` and&#xD;&#xA; - ``&lt;code&gt;\catcode`@=11&lt;/code&gt;``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; give ``\catcode`@=11``. Another example: ``` `` &quot;` `` ``` gives `` &quot;` `` (note the spaces!).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. You want spaces in the beginning and/or the end of the inline code, or you need multiple spaces within. Then you have to use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, which has 3 spaces between &quot;a&quot; and &quot;test&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` is an alternative for backticks, but it behaves differently: You can use HTML entities such as `&amp;nbsp;` inside. For example, `&lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, whereas `` `&amp;nbsp;` `` gives `&amp;nbsp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a rule of thumb, use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` only as a last resort. And then be aware that you can run into trouble if you try to use `&lt;` inside: `&lt;code&gt;a&lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&lt;/code&gt;! The way out: `&lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;. Moreover, `&lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Until February 20, markdown in **comments** [was quite a hassle](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/168/1235). Now the rules are [almost the same as for questions and answers](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/79546/can-we-please-have-a-place-where-changes-to-the-markdown-syntax-are-documented/79981#79981). These are the differences; recents changes are marked bold:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` to mark inline code doesn't work in comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you need a backtick in inline code in a comment, you can **(and must)** escape it (doesn't work in questions/answers!): `` `\catcode\`@=11` `` gives ``\catcode`@=11``.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Maybe the most pestering problem was that you couldn't have a backslash `\` in the _end_ of inline code in comments. **Now double backticks** ` `` ` **can be used in comments**, too, so you can use ` ``\\`` ` to obtain `\\`. (Without the _double_ backticks, the second backslash would be interpreted as an escape for the closing backtick).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One more important recent change: Inline code in comments **can now be followed by a letter**. For example, `` `\vspace`s `` now renders as `\vspace`s.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As an example, one of my questions started with &quot;Consider the following code&quot; mainly because I couldn't simply tell what I'd like to achieve before providing some background. The question description, when listed in the front page, was not useful at all, but I managed to give it a good title, so the question was somehow saved. IMHO the problem raises when both title and body are not descriptive. If the title is good enough, I'd probably say to leave the question as it is.

What you can do instead:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Comment on the answer explaining why it is wrong, obsolete or Not The Right Thing To Do (tm). If the author of the question agrees, then he may be able to change the accepted answer. Most often, this doesn't happen if the user is not very active on TeX-SE.&#xD;&#xA; - Answer the question yourself, and contrast with the accepted answer. This will bump the question back to the top of the question list, and you'll get visibility and upvotes, if your answer is good. On top of that, there's a [Necromancer badge][1] to sweeten the deal if the question is old and you manage to get a few upvotes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The TeX-SE community is usually quick to spot problematic (i.e. wrong) answers, but unfortunately some older questions haven't been updated. So, if you see a question that can be improved (and is not community wiki), by all means, post your answer and comment. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/badges/17/necromancer" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The question will then be handled as &quot;done&quot; which is important for the housekeeping of the site. However, new answers can still be added and the question asker can accept a different answer at any time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* It is highly recommended to add a compilable, but [**minimal working example (MWE)**](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that) that illustrates your problem. This way other users can compile it themselves, analyze error messages more closely and also easily implement and test their solutions before posting them. This allows also for full, compilable examples to be posted in the answers which are very helpful for the question asker and all other people with the same problem. Note that in (La)TeX issues are often depended on the used packages and other people won't be provide much help if they don't know which packages you are using. In a not small percentage users might actually find the cause of the issue themselves while minimizing their document to a MWE.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Post should be **formatted** correctly using the simple **[Markdown](http://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help) format**. This ensures that the posts are easy to read. Here the most important formatting styles used on this site:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * Format *(La)TeX code* as code blocks by indenting them with four spaces. The `{}` button (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;) will do this for you.&#xD;&#xA;    * Format *inline code* using backticks, e.g. write `` `\somecode` `` to produce `\somecode`. This format should also be used for single macro and environment names, package and class names as well as command line executables.&#xD;&#xA;    * Please do not use &quot;here&quot; and &quot;this&quot; links to other questions and answers  but insert the link directly. The sites will format it automatically.&#xD;&#xA;    * Error messages should be formatted as code blocks, not as quotations because they usually contain (La)TeX code which is better readable in this format.&#xD;&#xA;    * Quotes from manuals, website etc. as well as example text results (not code) should be formatted using quotation blocks (i.e. place a `&gt;` before the lines)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Please **post rough ideas, suggestions and similar material as comments** and reserve answers for actual solutions. You can edit your posts anytime to e.g. add more details to your question or to adjust your answer. Do not use long comment threads for longer or even medium sized discussions. Use the [chat](http://chat.stackexchange.com/) instead. You can even open your own chat room if you want. Please note that everything here is open and all your chat messages will be archived and accessible to others (as long the room is not restricted by a moderator).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* You can **notify other users** by adding comments to their posts or by adding their names after an `@`, i.e. `@username` in your comment. Note this only works for the first user mentioned this way and only if that user wrote a previous comment for the same post. The post author is always notified. Notifications also work in the chat if the user posted a message there not too long ago.

This allows also for full, compilable examples to be posted in the answers which are very helpful for the question asker and all other people with the same problem.

The `{}` button (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;) will do this for you.&#xD;&#xA;    * Format *inline code* using backticks, e.g. write `` `\somecode` `` to produce `\somecode`. Instead of typing the backticks, you can also highlight `\somecode` and use the `{}` button (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;).  &#xD;&#xA;This format should also be used for single macro and environment names, package and class names as well as command line executables.&#xD;&#xA;    * Please do not use &quot;here&quot; and &quot;this&quot; links to other questions and answers  but insert the link directly. The sites will format it automatically.&#xD;&#xA;    * Error messages should be formatted as code blocks, not as quotations because they usually contain (La)TeX code which is better readable in this format.&#xD;&#xA;    * Quotes from manuals, website etc. as well as example text results (not code) should be formatted using quotation blocks (i.e. place a `&gt;` before the lines)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Please **post rough ideas, suggestions and similar material as comments** and reserve answers for actual solutions.

Text="**Welcome to TeX.SX**, the free, community driven Questions and Answers site for users of TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and related typesetting systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Here is some information to help you get started** and to make your work with this site a pleasant experience for you and all other users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* This site is for **Questions and answers** and is **not a forum**. This means that there is a quite strict format enforced here. Please post an answerable **question** using the [*Ask Question*](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ask) button (after [searching for existing similar questions](http://tex.stackexchange.com/search) first of course) or post an solution for an existing question as an **answer** post. Please **do not start discussions** or ask off-topic questions. You can also post **comments** to questions and answers to provide feedback. At first you can only comment on your own questions and their answers, but after you have gained a reputation of 50 you can comment everywhere. There is also [**chat**](http://chat.stackexchange.com/) for more casual posts. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Questions and answers can receive positive and negative **votes** to indicate their quality. Answers are sorted after the number of votes so that the better ones appear first. The votes that answers and questions receive also increase or decrease the **reputation** of the author of the post. With increasing reputation users will receive more and more [**privileges**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges) to do more things on the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The most useful **answer that solved your problem** should be **accepted** by clicking the tick/checkmark symbol to the left of the answer. This shows other people that this is &quot;the correct answer&quot; in your opinion and assigns points to the answerer and also you. The question will then be handled as &quot;done&quot; which is important for the housekeeping of the site. However, new answers can still be added and the question asker can accept a different answer at any time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* It is highly recommended to add a compilable, but [**minimal working example (MWE)**](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that) that illustrates your problem. This way other users can compile it themselves, analyze error messages more closely and also easily implement and test their solutions before posting them. This allows also for full, compilable examples to be posted in the answers which are very helpful for the question asker and all other people with the same problem. Note that in (La)TeX, issues are often dependent on the  packages used, and other people won't be able to provide much help if they don't know which packages you are using. Another reason for constructing a MWE is that you will often discover the source of your problem yourself just by trying to construct the example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Post should be **formatted** correctly using the simple **[Markdown](http://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help) format**. This ensures that the posts are easy to read. Here the most important formatting styles used on this site:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * Format *(La)TeX code* as code blocks by indenting them with four spaces. The `{}` button (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;) will do this for you.&#xD;&#xA;    * Format *inline code* using backticks, e.g. write `` `\somecode` `` to produce `\somecode`. Instead of typing the backticks, you can also highlight `\somecode` and use the `{}` button (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;).  &#xD;&#xA;This format should also be used for single macro and environment names, package and class names as well as command line executables.&#xD;&#xA;    * Please do not use &quot;here&quot; and &quot;this&quot; links to other questions and answers  but insert the link directly. The site will format it automatically.&#xD;&#xA;    * Error messages should be formatted as code blocks, not as quotations because they usually contain (La)TeX code which is more readable in this format.&#xD;&#xA;    * Quotes from manuals, website etc. as well as example text results (not code) should be formatted using quotation blocks (i.e. place a `&gt;` before the lines)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Please **avoid opening and closing lines** like &quot;Hi&quot; (already automatically removed) and &quot;Thanks&quot;. Salutations, greetings and gratitudes are already implied and only distract from the real question. Also the first two lines of the post will be displayed below the question title in the overview page and such lines will reduce the amount of useful information being displayed there. The author name is already displayed on the right site below the post, so there is no need for an extra signature line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Please **post rough ideas, suggestions and similar material as comments** and reserve answers for actual solutions. You can edit your posts anytime to e.g. add more details to your question or to adjust your answer. Do not use long comment threads for longer or even medium sized discussions. Use  [chat](http://chat.stackexchange.com/) instead. You can even open your own chat room if you want. Please note that everything here is open and all your chat messages will be archived and accessible to others (as long the room is not restricted by a moderator).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* You can **notify other users** by adding comments to their posts or by adding their names after an `@`, i.e. `@username` in your comment. Note this only works for the first user mentioned this way and only if that user wrote a previous comment for the same post. The post author is always notified. Notifications also work in  chat if the user posted a message there not too long ago. See http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/598/when-writing-a-comment-how-do-i-ensure-that-the-person-it-is-addressed-to-gets-n for more details.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* There are **three [democratically elected](http://tex.stackexchange.com/election) [moderators](http://tex.stackexchange.com/about#moderators)** for this site. They can be notified about issues by **flagging posts** using the `flag` link below each post.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* While you can post questions and answers as unregistered user, please consider **registering your account**. Otherwise you might create a new, different unregistered account with the same name and icon. Then you will not be able to edit your old posts or add comments to them. You can ask a moderator to merge such accounts together.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Questions about the site itself should be asked on [Meta.TeX.SX](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/), not on the main site. Here the restrictions are lower and you are free to start discussions as long they are about how to run the site etc." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This means that there is a quite strict format enforced here. Please post an answerable **question** using the [*Ask Question*](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ask) button (after [searching for existing similar questions](http://tex.stackexchange.com/search) first of course) or post an solution for an existing question as an **answer** post. Please **do not start discussions** or ask off-topic questions. You can also post **comments** to questions and answers to provide feedback. At first you can only comment on your own questions and their answers, but after you have gained a reputation of 50 you can comment everywhere. There is also [**chat**](http://chat.stackexchange.com/) for more casual posts. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Questions and answers can receive positive and negative **votes** to indicate their quality. Answers are sorted after the number of votes so that the better ones appear first. The votes that answers and questions receive also increase or decrease the **reputation** of the author of the post. With increasing reputation users will receive more and more [**privileges**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges) to do more things on the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The most useful **answer that solved your problem** should be **accepted** by clicking the tick/checkmark symbol to the left of the answer. This shows other people that this is &quot;the correct answer&quot; in your opinion and assigns points to the answerer and also you. The question will then be handled as &quot;done&quot; which is important for the housekeeping of the site. However, new answers can still be added and the question asker can accept a different answer at any time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* It is highly recommended to add a compilable, but [**minimal working example (MWE)**](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that) that illustrates your problem. This way other users can compile it themselves, analyze error messages more closely and also easily implement and test their solutions before posting them. This allows also for full, compilable examples to be posted in the answers which are very helpful for the question asker and all other people with the same problem. Note that in (La)TeX, issues are often dependent on the  packages used, and other people won't be able to provide much help if they don't know which packages you are using. Another reason for constructing a MWE is that you will often discover the source of your problem yourself just by trying to construct the example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Post should be **formatted** correctly using the simple **[Markdown](http://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help) format**. This ensures that the posts are easy to read. Here the most important formatting styles used on this site:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * Format *(La)TeX code* as code blocks by indenting them with four spaces. The `{}` button (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;) will do this for you.&#xD;&#xA;    * Format *inline code* using backticks, e.g. write `` `\somecode` `` to produce `\somecode`. Instead of typing the backticks, you can also highlight `\somecode` and use the `{}` button (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;).  &#xD;&#xA;This format should also be used for single macro and environment names, package and class names as well as command line executables.&#xD;&#xA;    * Please do not use &quot;here&quot; and &quot;this&quot; links to other questions and answers  but insert the link directly. The site will format it automatically.&#xD;&#xA;    * Error messages should be formatted as code blocks, not as quotations because they usually contain (La)TeX code which is more readable in this format.&#xD;&#xA;    * Quotes from manuals, website etc. as well as example text results (not code) should be formatted using quotation blocks (i.e. place a `&gt;` before the lines)&#xD;&#xA;    * Images should only be uploaded using the &quot;Image&quot; icon (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;G&lt;/kbd&gt;) which uses a special, time-less http://imgur.com/ account. Including images using a different way, like uploading it manually to imgur.com or using a different provider, might lead to broken images after a while and is not recommended. Please ensure that the image is in a suitable size (not too big or too small) and resolution and only shows relevant things without large margins.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Please **avoid opening and closing lines** like &quot;Hi&quot; (already automatically removed) and &quot;Thanks&quot;. Salutations, greetings and gratitudes are already implied and only distract from the real question. Also the first two lines of the post will be displayed below the question title in the overview page and such lines will reduce the amount of useful information being displayed there.

The code is located at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~tex-sx/tex-sx/development/files&#xD;&#xA;1. Select something you want to test.  If it has a `.dtx` file, you have to have that.  If there is a relevant `_test.tex` file, that might be useful (the `_test.tex` files are my (Andrew Stacey) test files.).  If it only as a `.tex` file, that's both the &quot;style&quot; and the test file (but the ones with `.dtx`s are the more important for testing).&#xD;&#xA;1. Run `pdflatex` on the `.dtx`.  That will produce the `.sty` file _and_ the documentation `.pdf` file.&#xD;&#xA;1. Try to set up a test document.  I'm not going to give more instructions here as ideally it should be possible to do this from the supplied documentation.&#xD;&#xA;1. If there is no documentation, look at the `_test.tex` file if it exists.  If the code hasn't yet been converted to a `.dtx` then the `.tex` file is all there is; it will have the code and samples, but no documentation." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

When the commission you could get is set to 0 a basic printed T-shirt is around 18-20 Euro inkl. shipping (varies from country, shipped from Germany; this was based on a relative simple shirt ca. 14 Euro + 4 Euro shipping around Germany). This is nice because others websites make you buy dozens at once and then one of us would have to ship it to everyone else.

You the questioner probably do not know the difference between the two!  So think about it from the point of view of the answerer.  To ensure that the answer she provides is sound, she will probably want to create a sample document, make the changes she recommends, and check that it works.  If she *thinks* she knows the answer but doesn't have the time to create a sample document, she may in the interest of quality control refrain from answering at this time.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So make it easy for potential answerers!  Give them a block of code that can be copied, pasted directly into a file, compiled, tweaked, corrected, and pasted back.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here *minimal* means that the problem is isolated and there is nothing in the sample that distracts from the error you have or the effect you desire.  *Working* doesn't mean the problem is solved `:-)`, it means the code sample can be copied-and-pasted and directly compiled.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The site [sscce.org][1] is dedicated to the topic.  There are also several articles on the topic as it applies specifically to LaTeX:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [“Creating a LaTeX Minimal Example”][2] (PDF) from Dr. Nicola Talbot's LaTeX resources&#xD;&#xA;* [“How to make a ‘minimum example’”][3] from the UK TeX FAQ&#xD;&#xA;* [“What is a minimal working example?”][4] from the de.comp.text.tex newsgroup.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Errors##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I didn't see your question, but I'm guessing that you got some error you haven't seen before, and said something to the effect of &#xD;&#xA;&gt;I tried to compile, but I got the error `Undefined control sequence.'  How can I fix it?  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is next to impossible to answer, unless you expect only answers from psychics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead, look at the line numbers, and post that paragraph or sentence, depending on the scope of the error.  You'll have to add any referenced packages or other components which are critical to the compilation of the section, but make it as focused as possible on the part which is the source of the error. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If there are no helpful line numbers, (make a backup and then) begin removing things you added after the last successful compile.  If you remove everything you just added, perform a binary search by removing halves of the document until you can narrow it down. Then, post the section which caused the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Often, this process will help you to discover the problem and solution yourself!*  If this happens, please still post your minimal example, add your solution as an answer, and accept it later.  This way, future readers can benefit from your work (and you can get a [self-learner][5] badge if your solution was novel enough to get some upvotes!)&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;A better approach to the &quot;I tried to compile...&quot; example above would be something like:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I am trying to typeset the following equation:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \documentclass{article}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \begin{document}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     Alpha particles (named after and denoted by the first letter in the&#xD;&#xA;    Greek alphabet,\[\alpha\]) consist of two protons and two neutrons bound&#xD;&#xA;    together.&#xD;&#xA;    This means that an \[\alfa\] particle is a helium nucleus. &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \end{document}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   But when I compile it with LaTeX I get this error message:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     [22]&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     Undefined control sequence:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \alfa&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     `An \[\alfa\] particle is a helium nucleus.`&#xD;&#xA;&gt; What am I doing wrong?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Enhancements##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other questions are not related to errors, but to a desired effect that the user wants to achieve, of the form:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I want to put (thing) at (place).  How do I do that?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The MWE in this case should: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* be a full document including `\documentclass`, a preamble, `\begin{document}`, and `\end{document}`. &#xD;&#xA;* include enough dummy text to make the document look like the one you're writing.  The [`lipsum`](http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum) and [`blindtext`](http://ctan.org/pkg/blindtext) packages are helpful here in that they provide macros to make lots of text without actually having to type lots of text.&#xD;&#xA;* have your best-so-far implementation of the desired effect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Try to keep your vocabulary accessible—do not assume that because many experts in your field use TeX that all TeX users are familiar with your field.  A question about typesetting affine Dynkin diagrams will not get answered until you find someone who knows TeX *and* math.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have enough reputation to include images, please do.  Images of both the desired effect (mocked up or copied from another document), and the result of your best-so-far implementation.  If you do not have enough reputation to include images, upload to http://imgur.com/ anyway and post the links (an editor will include the images for you).

Only applies to other people in the comments that you are commenting on.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  2. Response must include @username that you are referring to, where &quot;username&quot; is a reasonable match to the user's current display name (as seen in the comments above yours).&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  3. There must be a starts-with, case insensitive match of at least THREE characters to the displayname. _UPDATE:_ @ab will _only_ give a match if the third letter of the displayname is a non-letter.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  4. Spaces cannot be used to match, so if the person's display name is &quot;Peter Smith&quot; then just use @peter to match.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  5. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if there are five people named &quot;John&quot; in the comments, writing &quot;hey @john, have you considered apples?&quot; will match the most recent John to comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These older rules don't include some later features: now the look up for names tries to look in more places for a match and tolerates omitted spaces. And: anyone who _edits_ a question or answer is also on the list of people who are considered possible matches for notification. Hence, the official rules, as [described on meta.SO](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/1093/make-recent-activity-and-responses-show-new-comments-on-questions-answers-i-have/35913#35913):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;1. Notifications apply to the author, commenters, and [editors](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/36052/allow-post-editor-to-see-comments-directed-at-him/36055#36055) of the question or answer that you are commenting on—users not in that list cannot be notified.  The question and answers are all considered independently.  For example, if Alice was the author of, commented on, or edited the question or her answer, then you cannot notify her by commenting on Bob's answer (unless Alice *also* participated in that answer), and vice versa.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;2. You must include *@name*, where *name* is a reasonable match to a user's current display name.  Users who have not set a display name in their profile are not notified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;3. If the first word in the display name is at least three characters long, then there must be a starts-with, case-insensitive match of at least three characters in the display name.  This means *@a* and *@ab* will never match anyone, [unless][1] a user uses a first word that is only two characters. Like: *@Jo* will notify Jo Miller, but not John, and @B. will notify B. Gates, but not B.Gates. If there are more than three characters in *@name*, then all given characters must match (neither *@alix* nor *@aliceinwonderland* will match user Alice).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;4. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if five people named John are participating, *@john* will match the most recent John. (Use the next rule to differentiate.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;5. Spaces are removed from the display names for matching purposes, so to match Peter Smith you may use *@pet*, *@peter*, *@peters*, or *@petersmith*.  The last two are useful if Peter Jones is also participating. Single quotes, dots, dashes and underscores should [not](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/51911/the-dot-in-username-within-first-3-character-preventing-from-comment-replies/51913#51913) be removed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;6. Special characters [are replaced](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/48968/peter-works-for-peter/49409#49409) with their simple equivalent. To reply to Piëre you can use both *@piëre* and *@piere*. And to reply to Jörg you could use *@jorg*, [but not](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/89051/joerg-works-for-jorg) *@joerg*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;7. Comments containing more than one *@name* [are blocked](http://meta.math.stackexchange.com/questions/2094/should-we-discourage-the-user-of-multiple-redundant-username-pings/2615#2615) unless they contain a backtick.&#xD;&#xA;In the latter case, only the first name mentioned using the *@name* syntax will be [notified](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/2035/notify-user-when-their-name-is-mentioned-in-comment/35914#35914). For example, *@alice @bob Hi!\`* will notify Alice (if she has participated in that post), but not Bob.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;8. An exception is the case when the first *@name* either matched nobody, or matched the post's author (and thus isn't necessary); in this case, the next *@name* will be checked.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;9. When editing a comment within its limited editing period, if you change or add *@name*, [the notification may or may not reach the new recipient](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/40989/will-edited-comments-reach-addressees/74781#74781) depending on timing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;10. The first author of the question or answer will always be notified of any new comment. There is no need to use *@name* to notify them. (You may still use it for clarity, if needed; however if only you and the author have been commenting on the post so far, the *@name* will be automatically removed from the beginning of the comment, as it adds no value.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;11. The notification must begin with a space or be at the start of the comment. For example, you [cannot use markup](http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/39/whats-your-favourite-quote-about-programming/1079#comment-19850) such as italics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;12. Single trailing punctuation such as a dot, comma or colon is ignored. Like *@name, yes* works, but *@name... no* does not. (Though a dot is valid in a username, the last dot [is removed for matching](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/75811/using-user-name-colon-to-refer-to-a-user-in-comments/75812#75812). Adding excessive dots is [not supported](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/88631/why-was-i-not-notified/88639#88639).)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;13. The notification only works for the username that [is current](http://chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/481203#481203) at the time the comment is submitted, not any previous username(s) the target may have had.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some examples of supported notifications:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name: some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name. Some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name, some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `some text, @name`&#xD;&#xA;  - `some text, @name, more text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `Some text, @name.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Examples that will **not** trigger notifications:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name...`&#xD;&#xA;  - `abc@name`&#xD;&#xA;  - `*@name*`&#xD;&#xA;  - `*@name:*`&#xD;&#xA;  - `[@name](http://some-url)`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@[name](http://some-url)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/61960/allow-for-comment-reply-to-usernames-with-less-than-three-characters-in-first-wor/75809#75809" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

A frequently changed avatar (either automatically/accidentally changed because of an empty email address or manually by the user) undermines this and should be avoided.&#xD;&#xA;Therefore if you belong to the users which don't want to give away there email address then please insert **some random but constant address** just to have a constant avatar.

If you don't like typing backticks, you can also highlight the inline code and hit &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt; (or click the &quot;code&quot; button, with &quot;{ }&quot; on it), but this doesn't work in comments. In **questions and answers**, there are only two (quite rare) cases where things might go wrong (see below for backslash escaping of backticks in comments):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. You need a backtick in the inline code. Then you can _either_ use double backticks ` `` ` _or_ &amp;nbsp;`&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`&amp;nbsp; to mark your code. For example, both &#xD;&#xA; - ``` ``\catcode`@=11`` ``` and&#xD;&#xA; - ``&lt;code&gt;\catcode`@=11&lt;/code&gt;``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; give ``\catcode`@=11``. Another example: ``` `` &quot;` `` ``` gives `` &quot;` `` (note the spaces!).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. You want spaces in the beginning and/or the end of the inline code, or you need multiple spaces within. Then you have to use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, which has 3 spaces between &quot;a&quot; and &quot;test&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` is an alternative for backticks, but it behaves differently: You can use HTML entities such as `&amp;nbsp;` inside. For example, `&lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, whereas `` `&amp;nbsp;` `` gives `&amp;nbsp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a rule of thumb, use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` only as a last resort. And then be aware that you can run into trouble if you try to use `&lt;` inside: `&lt;code&gt;a&lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&lt;/code&gt;! The way out: `&lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;. Moreover, `&lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Until 20 February 2011, markdown in **comments** [was quite a hassle](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/168/1235). Now the rules are [almost the same as for questions and answers](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/79546/can-we-please-have-a-place-where-changes-to-the-markdown-syntax-are-documented/79981#79981). These are the differences:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` to mark inline code doesn't work in comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you need a backtick in inline code in a comment, you can (and must) escape it (doesn't work in questions/answers!): `` `\catcode\`@=11` `` gives ``\catcode`@=11``.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. \#2 means that `` `\\` `` will _not_ give `\\` because the second backslash is interpreted as an escape for the subsequent backtick. This can be solved by using double backticks ` `` ` if the inline code ends with a backslash: ` ``\\`` ` gives `\\`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1.

See [this discussion][1] and also the first answer to [this question][2] for some rationale. I'm almost sure there have been other discussions previously, but wasn't able to find them currently.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In a nutshell -- there's no real benefit of having TeX rendering here. Discussions on TeX.sx are mostly focused on the actual source code or a [minimal working example][3] that produce the (un)desired result, and for this reason, inline rendering is not only unnecessary, it is actively harmful (when, for example, one would want to quote a command instead of show its result). I'm not even going to mention the implications this has on page loading speed -- try it on a slow machine with older browser on one of the more notation-heavy questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contrast this with Physics.sx and Math.sx (and also Math Overflow) where the notation is absolutely critical to facilitating the discussion. Here on TeX.sx, the plain old source code is sufficient -- questions on aesthetics (although acceptable here) are much less frequent than those from the &quot;where's the problem in this code&quot; or &quot;how do I do X&quot; variety. If need be (or for the sake of saving time to others), the poster should upload an image or even a compiled document if the result is unexpected or non-reproducible by the others, but this happens far less often than you would think.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/181/can-we-turn-off-math-tex-please&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/7/we-need-tex-markup&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

(This doesn't work on meta.tex.sx, so unfortunately you can't see it here.) If you _don't_ want this syntax highlighting, you can use a special HTML comment to specify the language.

Note that the HTML comment must _not_ be indented, and that the blank line between the `&lt;!-- language: ... --&gt;` and the indented code block is _required_. For a list of supported languages have a look here: [Manually specify language for syntax highlighting](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/78363/manually-specify-language-for-syntax-highlighting/81971#81971).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Emphasizing pieces of the code ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want to highlight parts of your code using **bold** or _slanted_ text, or if you want to &lt;s&gt;strike something out&lt;/s&gt;, you have to use the HTML `&lt;pre&gt;` tag instead of 4 space indentation. For example,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;gives&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;\documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;\usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For striking something out, use `&lt;s&gt;...&lt;/s&gt;`.&#xD;&#xA;Using just `&lt;pre&gt;` you don't get syntax highlighting, so you can use this as an alternative to `&lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;`. Be careful, however, to use `&amp;lt;` and `&amp;gt;` if you want `&lt;` and `&gt;` in `&lt;pre&gt;` blocks; you may also need `&amp;amp;` for `&amp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want syntax highlighting _and_ additional emphasis in **bold** or _slanted_, use `&lt;code&gt;` inside the `&lt;pre&gt;` block:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;     &lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;\documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that there's no line break after `&lt;code&gt;`; otherwise the code block would start with an empty line.

For example,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;gives&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;\documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;\usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Note that the `&lt;pre&gt;` and `&lt;/pre&gt;` tags [should be on separate lines](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/84290/can-the-pre-tag-start-in-a-new-line-possible-previewer-bug/99600#99600), without indentation.)&#xD;&#xA;For striking something out, use `&lt;s&gt;...&lt;/s&gt;`.&#xD;&#xA;Using just `&lt;pre&gt;` you don't get syntax highlighting, so you can use this as an alternative to `&lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;`. Be careful, however, to use `&amp;lt;` and `&amp;gt;` if you want `&lt;` and `&gt;` in `&lt;pre&gt;` blocks; you may also need `&amp;amp;` for `&amp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want syntax highlighting _and_ additional emphasis in **bold** or _slanted_, use `&lt;code&gt;` inside the `&lt;pre&gt;` block:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;code&gt;\documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&lt;/code&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that there are no line breaks after `&lt;code&gt;` and before `&lt;/code&gt;`; otherwise the code block would start and end with an empty line (as the second code block in this very answer).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Code blocks in lists ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If your code appears inside a list, you must indent a _further four spaces_ for every level of nesting. An example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    1. The first point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;            This is the code&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    1. The second point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;gives&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The first point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        This is the code&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The second point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So you need 8 spaces in the first level, 12 spaces in the second level and so on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Code blocks after lists ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want a code block immediately _after_ a list, you [need to put an HTML comment](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/3327/code-block-is-not-properly-formatted-when-placed-immediately-after-a-list-item/99637#99637) between the list and the code block:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    1. This is part of a list&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    &lt;!-- an HTML comment --&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;        This is the code&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;gives&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. This is part of a list&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;!-- an HTML comment --&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    This is the code&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Code blocks in blockquotes ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A blockquote is started with &lt;code&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, and a code block with 4 spaces, so for a code block within a blockquote you need _5_ spaces after the `&gt;`. An example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &gt; This is (not) a quote from the TeXbook, and here's some code:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    &gt;     \relax&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;gives&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This is (not) a quote from the TeXbook, and here's some code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \relax&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is a good idea to provide some context, but exactly what that should be depends on the nature of the connection.  (I haven't looked at the questions you link, so this shouldn't be taken prescriptive in any fashion!)  For example, if one question builds on another, then it can start with, &quot;Following on from my question ...&quot;.  But if a question is merely related, the link should be near the end, as in, &quot;A similar question is ...&quot; (perhaps with a sentence as to why).&#xD;&#xA;The links should not be intrusive, so not cluttered with too much extra context.

The question then received a couple of downvotes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Seamus correctly points out though, that the *question* itself is a reasonable one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, the downvotes are trying to correct the *behaviour* of the OP rather than being a reflection of the question content. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Although notice that the help popup on the downvote arrow explicitly states&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  This question does not show any research effort; it is unclear or&#xD;&#xA;&gt; not useful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the question is, is this kind of downvoting reasonable, and if not, are there other ways to prod users to RTFM.

As a fairly new user to TeX.SX, I've also pursued to be an active member of the community. I was amazed at the number of questions that have been asked, the amount of answers that flow in (even on older questions) it is amazing to see the amount of new users joining the community in order to learn from the experts. Heck, there's even recent talk about a [TeX.SX T-shirt](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1520/tex-sx-t-shirts) campaign! All this activity through posts, answers and reputation made me think that there was some form of usage statistic available to browse. Not that I've found...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since the initiation of the site beta, there has been [interest in its progression via statistics](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/189/where-can-we-find-statistics-about-the-sites-progress-through-beta), like the number of&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - questions asked;&#xD;&#xA; - answers posted;&#xD;&#xA; - questions answered;&#xD;&#xA; - visits/day; etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, the interest in this seemed to have aged with the anticipation of emerging from beta to the current site. These usage statistics would be helpful to new users, or even just for the sake of comparing it to other forums as a form of promotion. As a reference, the Usenet forum [comp.text.tex](http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex) provide users with some form of usage statistic - in the form of posts-per-month&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt; - on its [about page](http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/about):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Usenet comp.text.tex about page with usage statistics](https://i.stack.imgur.com/wdAHO.png)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Although some statistics are already available (like the [total number of questions asked](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions), or [counting the number of a specific badges awarded](http://tex.stackexchange.com/badges), [tag counts](http://tex.stackexchange.com/tags), the [number of unanswered questions](http://tex.stackexchange.com/unanswered) and even [weekly/monthly/quarterly reputation leagues](http://stackexchange.com/leagues/29/week/tex), to name just a handful) there is nothing available, on demand, to the extent posted during the beta phase as far as I know..&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Perhaps a first question would be whether users of TeX.SX would find such usage statistics interesting, or even helpful? If this question is answered in the affirmative, the second question would be whether it is possible to add such a feature to TeX.SX?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt; Since the site access is public/Usenet and therefore unmoderated, these totals may include *spam*."

My introduction to posting images, like with so many new users, came with my first visit, subsequent registration and post to TeX.SX, only to be greeted with the [insufficient privileges disclaimer for new users](http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/new-user) that doesn't allow image posting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since being able to post images and also through editing other's questions/answers, I've noticed a difference in style:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Inserting images as-you-type hyperlink format:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;!-- code follows --&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ![&lt;enter image description here&gt;](&lt;image url&gt;)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Inserting images using the `imgur.com` GUI click-to-insert button ![Imgur's insert image GUI button](https://i.stack.imgur.com/6YO9r.png), which leaves you with:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;!-- code follows --&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ![&lt;enter image description here&gt;][&lt;imgtag&gt;]&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    [&lt;imgtag&gt;]: &lt;image url&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since I would like to keep things organised, properly name the image to be upload and revert to the former option by copying the image hyperlink next to the markdown and removing the `&lt;imgtag&gt;` - thereby keeping the image placement together with the image link. I even give a description of the image.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My questions are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Which of the above usages would be considered best practice on TeX.SX?&#xD;&#xA; 2. What is the use of changing `&lt;enter image description here&gt;` if it is never visible to the non-editing users; not even via a tooltip text?&#xD;&#xA; 3. Is there any advantage in giving a meaningful name to an image that is uploaded to `imgur.com`?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The motivations behind these questions are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Don't know whether this is sheer user preference, since organisation of a post (and the objects contained within) is subjective. That is, what I find organised may be considered unorganised by others; in true (La)TeX fashion, leaving all the actual images as &quot;references&quot; at the end of a post is just as organised as the other option.&#xD;&#xA; 2. I thought translating the meaningful description into a tooltip text would be... well, meaningful. I understand though that not many people find this &quot;editorial description of images&quot; interest or of-value, and therefore decide to leave this blank.&#xD;&#xA; 3. If someone is interested in downloading an image that was posted (for whatever reason), the downloaded image has `imgur.com`'s &quot;short url&quot;. For example, the button image hyperlink in this post is&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;code&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/6YO9r.png&quot;&gt;https://i.stack.imgur.com/6YO9r.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/code&gt;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This text is used in the `alt` property of the HTML `&lt;img&gt;` tag. The idea of that is that this text will be displayed instead of the image whenever the browser can't display the image. For example when imgur.com is offline, when the user has disabled images or on a slow internet connection before the image has been loaded. Accessibility guidelines usually state that all images must have an `alt` text. (Browers used to display that text as a tooltip, but I think most modern browsers have stopped doing that.)&#xD;&#xA;3.

I guess it is pretty self-explanatory. I usually have a look at the recently migrated questions (because they often need attention), the new tags (because they are often an indication of mis-tagging) and negatively voted questions. You can click on the triangles to expand the lists (this of course also applies to the other pages).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **migrated**: A list of all migrated questions. For the current amount of migrated questions per day the list on the stats page is long enough. So this page is pretty useless most of the time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **close**: Lists recent close/open votes and recently closed/reopened questions. I usually go through this list once a day and add my vote to any questions that I think should be closed (or sometimes a comment that I disagree with the votes). This makes it more likely that a question that should be closed gets five votes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **delete**: Same as the close list, but for deleting questions (once a question has been closed for two days, you can vote to delete them). The page also lists answers deleted by mods, but does not list questions an answers deleted by their owners. I usually find this page pretty useless (though it is probably more valuable on bigger sites).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **flags**: Lists posts that have been flagged by users or by the system. You can go through the list and add your own flags. On this page (and only here) you can also flag a flag as invalid. Adding additional flags can help the moderators to prioritize they actions (though this is way more important on bigger sites than on TeX.sx). Also SPAM posts are deleted automatically when they accumulate enough flags. The page doesn't list flags by moderators and non-specific flags (the 'other' flag) and once you took some action on a flag, the system won't show you that flag anymore.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    For posts automatically flagged by the system it might be possible to improve the post or at least add a comment to inform the user of best practices on SE sites.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **links**: This once had a lot more pages linked than it has now. There is a link to a list of past suggested edits, which can be interesting if you want to look something up (e.g. if you suspect some strange edit pattern), but isn't that useful otherwise. There is also an (experimental?) page that show some stats about [feedback by anonymous users and users that aren't yet allowed to vote](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/98630/anonymous-user-feedback-now-in-testing). Doesn't seem to be particularly useful at the moment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition to the above pages, the 10k tools menu bar also links to `/review`, but I think that page is accessible to all users. 10k users also get notified on the top bar of any pending suggested edits."

Using the right tags makes it easier for others to find and answer your question. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;They are *really* useful when searching for specific topics or even to better classify our own questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately, a bunch of those tags have *no description at all*. When you add a tag to a question, a short description pops up to help us decide whether this tag is relevant to our question or not. With no description, such harmless tag can mislead us to use it instead of a better one, thus requiring a possible peer retagging process.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Yay tags!][3]&#xD;&#xA;![Yay tags again!][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMHO even the self-explanatory tags deserve a description. I use to fail at tagging my own questions (*Thankfully Caramdir, lockstep and Seamus always save me*).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This idea is probably low priority, since things work pretty well in here.

This “question” is community wiki, so please feel free to add blocks and improve existing ones.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## New users ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Minimal examples ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Please add a [minimal working example (MWE)](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that) that illustrates your problem.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Non-answers ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) Your question won't be seen by many people here so it would be best to repost it as a fresh question. Follow-up questions like this are more than welcome! Please use the &quot;Ask Question&quot; link for your new question; there you can link to this question to provide the background.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Instead of posting a “Thank you” as an additional answer, you should thank [user] by upvoting [his/her] answer (with the upward pointing arrow to the left of it; you need 15 reputation points before you can upvote) and accepting it (by clicking on the checkmark). We want to keep the answer space reserved for actual answers, so this non-answer will be removed from public view soon.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Instead of “answering” your own question, you should comment on [user]'s answer or edit the original question to include the additional information.`&lt;br&gt;And optionally: `(You may have to register at tex.sx in order to do so.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Migrated questions/users ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * ``[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) Your question was migrated here from another stackexchange site. Please register on this site, too, and make sure that both accounts are associated with each other, otherwise you won't be able to comment on or accept answers or edit your question.``  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    To make the comment more personal, you can replace `another stackexchange site` with the respective link, i.e. `[so]`, `[su]` or `[sf]` for the _big three_ or `[something.se]` for everything else, e.g. `[ubuntu.se]`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Marking code ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces, then they are [marked as a code sample](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1192/how-do-i-mark-code-blocks). You can also highlight the code and click the &quot;code&quot; button (with &quot;{}&quot; on it).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ```[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) A tip: you can use backticks `\`` to [mark your inline code](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/863/how-do-i-mark-inline-code) as I did in my edit.```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Intro / closing ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) You don't have to sign with your name since it automatically appears in the lower right corner of your post.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Alternatively:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) It's not necessary to sign your questions (as there is already a box with your username below it) or to begin them with a greeting.`&lt;br&gt;And optionally: `A suggestion: Change your username to something more telling than &quot;user3661&quot;.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Possible duplicates ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - For new(ish) users whose question looks like it might get closed as a duplicate.  If someone's already suggested a question&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `Please take a look at the questions that others have suggested as the answers there might help you.  If they do, that's great, and we'll probably close this question as a duplicate just to keep the place tidy and to help people find the answers quickly.

If they don't, please edit your question here to explain why so that people can better focus their attention to help you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### For questions that are likely to be closed ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `If your question is closed and you still need help, don't worry, [here you'll find help on what to do next](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1015/my-question-was-closed-as-a-duplicate-but-i-still-need-help-what-can-i-do).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Please ‘accept’ an answer below ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One should [wait a day](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/209/1235) before leaving this comment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Since you have some responses below that seem to answer your question, please consider marking one of them as ‘Accepted’ by clicking on the tickmark below their vote count. This shows which answer helped you most, and it assigns reputation points to the author of the answer (and to you!).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   Note that in case of a self-answer [one _has_ to wait 48 hours (after the question was posted) before accepting](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/01/accept-your-own-answers/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How to look up a math symbol ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Have a look at [“How to look up a math symbol?”](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14/how-to-look-up-a-math-symbol) for ideas how you can easily find a particular symbol.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Do not use Debian packages ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ``Debian and Ubuntu still contain TeX Live 2009. Many packages have been significantly improved since then. I would recommend installing TeX Live directly from [TUG](http://tug.org/texlive/) instead of using the Debian packages. That way you can always get current package versions by running `sudo tlmgr update --all`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Upload images only over the official interface ###&#xD;&#xA; - ``Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official stackexchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: CTRL+G). This ensures that all images are always accessible and do not expire.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ``As new user without image posting privileges simply include the image as normal and remove the `!` in front of it to turn it into a link. A moderator or another user with edit privileges can then reinsert the `!` to turn it into an image again.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Packages for creating MWEs ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The [lipsum](http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The [blindtext](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/blindtext/) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The filecontents environment is only used to include some external files directly into the example, so that it compiles. It is not necessary for the solution.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## For moderators ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Just a note to confirm _X_'s comment, this ought to be reposted as a question for you to get the best chance of it being answered. Also, it's a little confusing to have fresh questions in the _answers_ section, so this answer will be removed from public view in _N_ days.`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For example, the first reply to many questions is a demand for a minimal example. These replies should typically include a link with additional information. So I thought that it might be useful to collect some standard replies for quick copy&amp;paste. This “question” is community wiki, so please feel free to add blocks and improve existing ones.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## New users ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Minimal examples ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) Please add a [minimal working example (MWE)](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that) that illustrates your problem.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Non-answers ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) Your question won't be seen by many people here so it would be best to repost it as a fresh question. Follow-up questions like this are more than welcome! Please use the &quot;Ask Question&quot; link for your new question; there you can link to this question to provide the background.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Instead of posting a “Thank you” as an additional answer, you should thank [user] by upvoting [his/her] answer (with the upward pointing arrow to the left of it; you need 15 reputation points before you can upvote) and accepting it (by clicking on the checkmark). We want to keep the answer space reserved for actual answers, so this non-answer will be removed from public view soon.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Instead of “answering” your own question, you should comment on [user]'s answer or edit the original question to include the additional information.`&lt;br&gt;And optionally: `(You may have to register at tex.sx in order to do so.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Migrated questions/users ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * ``[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) Your question was migrated here from another stackexchange site. Please register on this site, too, and make sure that both accounts are associated with each other, otherwise you won't be able to comment on or accept answers or edit your question.``  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    To make the comment more personal, you can replace `another stackexchange site` with the respective link, i.e. `[so]`, `[su]` or `[sf]` for the _big three_ or `[something.se]` for everything else, e.g. `[ubuntu.se]`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Marking code ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces, they'll be [marked as a code sample](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1192/how-do-i-mark-code-blocks). You can also highlight the code and click the &quot;code&quot; button (with &quot;{}&quot; on it).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ```[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) A tip: You can use backticks `\`` to [mark your inline code](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/863/how-do-i-mark-inline-code) as I did in my edit.```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Intro / closing ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) You don't have to sign with your name since it automatically appears in the lower right corner of your post.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Alternatively:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) It's not necessary to sign your questions (as there is already a box with your username below it) or to begin them with a greeting.`&lt;br&gt;And optionally: `A suggestion: Change your username to something more telling than &quot;user3661&quot;.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Possible duplicates ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - For new(ish) users whose question looks like it might get closed as a duplicate.  If someone's already suggested a question&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `Please take a look at the questions that others have suggested as the answers there might help you.  If they do, that's great, and we'll probably close this question as a duplicate just to keep the place tidy and to help people find the answers quickly.  If they don't, please edit your question here to explain why so that people can better focus their attention to help you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   If not,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `This question is very similar to these others INSERTLINKS. Please take a look at them as the answers there might help you.  If they do, that's great, and we'll probably close this question as a duplicate just to keep the place tidy and to help people find the answers quickly.  If they don't, please edit your question here to explain why so that people can better focus their attention to help you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### For questions that are likely to be closed ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `If your question is closed and you still need help, don't worry, [here you'll find help on what to do next](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1015/my-question-was-closed-as-a-duplicate-but-i-still-need-help-what-can-i-do).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Please ‘accept’ an answer below ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One should [wait a day](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/209/1235) before leaving this comment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Since you have some responses below that seem to answer your question, please consider marking one of them as ‘Accepted’ by clicking on the tickmark below their vote count. This shows which answer helped you most, and it assigns reputation points to the author of the answer (and to you!).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   Note that in case of a self-answer [one _has_ to wait 48 hours (after the question was posted) before accepting](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/01/accept-your-own-answers/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How to look up a math symbol ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Have a look at [“How to look up a math symbol?”](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14/how-to-look-up-a-math-symbol) for ideas how you can easily find a particular symbol.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Do not use Debian packages ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ``Debian and Ubuntu still contain TeX Live 2009. Many packages have been significantly improved since then. I would recommend installing TeX Live directly from [TUG](http://tug.org/texlive/) instead of using the Debian packages. That way you can always get current package versions by running `sudo tlmgr update --all`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Upload images only over the official interface ###&#xD;&#xA; - ``Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official stackexchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: CTRL+G). This ensures that all images are always accessible and do not expire.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ``As new user without image posting privileges simply include the image as normal and remove the `!` in front of it to turn it into a link. A moderator or another user with edit privileges can then reinsert the `!` to turn it into an image again.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Packages for creating MWEs ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The [lipsum](http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The [blindtext](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/blindtext/) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The filecontents environment is only used to include some external files directly into the example, so that it compiles. It is not necessary for the solution.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## For moderators ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Just a note to confirm _X_'s comment, this ought to be reposted as a question for you to get the best chance of it being answered. Also, it's a little confusing to have fresh questions in the _answers_ section, so this answer will be removed from public view in _N_ days.`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I don't always notice when an answer of mine gets accepted - there's no automatic notification of that and the reputation difference is not unique.  When an answer is accepted, it reminds me that the primary goal here is to help other people (as opposed to accumulating reputation or providing popular answers) so I count an answer that's been accepted as qualitatively different to an answer that is merely popular.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my experience, it's also rare that these comments come out of nowhere.  Maybe there was a bit of discussion in comments about some detail, or maybe in the answer I had to guess a few things.  Then a comment of this sort confirms that my guess or some modification was the correct thing to do, and again that gives me useful feedback.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So while it could be argued that these comments don't add value to the site in that if we took the *modal* user[1] then they wouldn't find it useful, then they add value to the site in that they help **me**, and therefore add value to the site for the *mean* user[2]!  (Assuming that to everyone else then they don't actually remove value from the site.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1] That is, if we grouped all the users according to &quot;Did this particular 'Yes, that helped' comment add value to the site or not?&quot; then the &quot;modal user&quot; is a typical user of the largest group.  My guess is that the largest group would say &quot;No&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[2] But if we asked everyone to assign some number: &quot;How much value did this comment add to the site?&quot; (assuming we could measure it) then everyone except me (for this particular hypothetical comment) would probably say &quot;0&quot;, but probably would not say anything negative, whilst I would say &quot;10&quot;, so the mean would be positive."

A comment like that might not add value to the question/answer in the sense of a technical insight, but it makes the exchange more &quot;human&quot; to my eyes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have several users who are always eager to learn techniques, procedures, or are moved solely by the inner curiosity of how stuff works. On the other side, there are questions that clearly reflect the struggle of some users in making the damn code work. Most of them, like me, are far from being TeXperts, so any kind of answer - from an elegant one to the one brought directly from the bowels of TeX itself - that effectively solves the issue, is a big reason to be happy.  For instance, we can see this through one of our users' eyes, when replying to egreg's answer:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; That's freaking genius! Never thought of that! Thanks!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMHO, I think &quot;thank you&quot; messages are harmless. I also see them as a way of saying to the answerer, &quot;thanks for your effort in helping me&quot;. We can argue that this *is* a Q&amp;A site, straight to the point. But I also see our users answering questions because they are willing to share knowledge. And for that noble cause, I say &quot;thank you&quot; to all of them, even at the risk of sounding non constructive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, we could encourage upvoting or/and accepting answers instead of adding a plus &quot;thank you&quot;. TBH, I prefer the verbose option. OK, we have the duty of keeping our threads &quot;clean&quot; - that might sound like getting rid of such &quot;thank you&quot; messages - but I believe we represent a community-driven Q&amp;A that is technical, concise and - most of all - friendly to our fellow users. `;-)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My two cents. `:-)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Andrew implemented a new syntax of the form `s_1 s_2^{-1} s_3`, where the `s` isn't significant and can be anything that isn't &quot;special&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Status&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Code: Implemented&#xD;&#xA;* Tests: None&#xD;&#xA;* Files: `braids.dtx`, `braids_test.tex`&#xD;&#xA;* Documentation: Written" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

They worked, but that was about all that could be said for them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before joining this site, I learnt about TeX from a mixture of internet searching and reading the source code of packages.  That's not really conducive to writing robust, simple code.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Nonetheless, I was having fun with TeX and making it do what I wanted (rather than me having to do what it wanted).  Sometimes I'd come up with something neat that others liked the look of and I'd make my code public so that they could.  But always with a warning that the code might not be pretty!  I certainly would never have dreamt of uploading something to CTAN!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not much of a &quot;joiner&quot;, and I dislike mailing lists, so the thought of joining a community of TeX users never crossed my mind before, though I was vaguely aware of the existence of such from my internet searches.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All of that's changed now, thanks to this site.  I feel that I have a much better understanding of TeX and LaTeX, and consequently my code has improved (I won't say that it's anything to boast about yet!).  I've even published a package on CTAN!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But most of all, participating in this site has meant that without meaning to, I've joined a &quot;TeX community&quot;.  And it's quite fun.  So I'd like the opportunity to find out if I should join a Real TeX Community(TM).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Benefits For Me:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have learnt a lot through the question-and-answer format of this site, but there are things that aren't really learnable in this manner.  I feel it's time I learnt those things as well and being part of TUG would give me access to those materials in a timely fashion.  Often the difficulty with wanting to learn more about something is knowing *what* to learn: a regular &quot;magazine&quot; with topics and so forth is a good way of overcoming that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(I don't know how the institutional membership thing works, but if chosen I would take advantage of it for a fixed length of time and use that to assess whether or not I should join as a personal member.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Benefits for SE:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I participate in a few SE sites (and I include MathOverflow in that) and have strong opinions on what does and doesn't work.  I think that the SE model works *really well* for TeX and that this site is an absolutely brilliant addition to the TeX world.  I have no shame in &quot;site dropping&quot; (like name-dropping but about websites) and would continue to do so in all TUG activities.  When given the opportunity, I would gladly explain why I think that TeX-SX is a valuable resource for the TeX community At Large.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Disadvantages** (or similar)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The one thing about TUG that I wouldn't be likely to participate in would be the conferences.  If I were nearby, I would attend, but that's not all that likely.  I can understand that this might be an important factor so thought it best to mention up-front!" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The bounty is not significant *as a bounty*.  When I see a question with a bounty then the amount doesn't matter.  What a bounty says is that here is a question that someone is *really, really* interested in the answer for.  So if I answer that question then I have a chance of helping someone a little more than the average question.  That does make me more likely to answer it, but the actual bounty itself is irrelevant.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. A similar thing goes for the accepted answer.  My goal is to help people and also help myself by learning TeX at the same time.  If my answer is accepted, then that's great and I've helped someone.  If someone else's answer is accepted, then I can look at their solution and learn how to do it better next time.  But it's nice when an answer is accepted (whether mine or not) since it then I know which of these two attitudes to adopt!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If I didn't get either the bounty or the acceptance then it would still be nice to have some acknowledgement that my answer was helpful (assuming that it was).  A comment suffices for this.  Even if it turns out not to be helpful, a comment saying, &quot;Thanks for trying, but ...&quot; can soften the blow a bit!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To sum up so far: the bounty and the acceptance are yours to deal out as you will to whatever criteria you have chosen.  So long as you are polite and explain yourself (briefly) then I certainly wouldn't get upset or feel hard-done by.  (To be clear: I'm not involved in this particular question, I'm speaking hypothetically.)  (Also to be clear: you shouldn't feel that you need to explain yourself if you think it's clear already why you are awarding things the way you are.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So what would I do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think that the *acceptance* should go to the answer that is most complete.  If one of the answers provides code that can be cut-and-pasted into a document &#xD;&#xA;then that should be the accepted answer.  Although accepting an answer is meant to be a personal matter, when divided (like this) it can help to think what would be most useful for someone else who had the same question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think that the *bounty* should go to the answer that shows the most &quot;inspiration&quot;.  It is often the first idea that is the hardest to come up with.  Once that's in place, the rest is just &quot;grunt work&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But, to conclude, the disposition is yours and you *should not feel obligated to act one way or another*.  If you leave comments saying, &quot;This answer helped a lot but I'm giving the bounty to the other because ...&quot; then I think you'll find that others will see that and vote for that answer as well so in terms of reputation and acclamation, it's not something to worry about.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(And in case it's not clear, I'm agreeing with Martin Tapankov but in a long-winded way.)&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It might be about several topics, like [*The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX2e*](http://tobi.oetiker.ch/lshort/lshort.pdf).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These three things are not clear-cut, a lot of &quot;documentation&quot; on CTAN starts out with a manual.

This “question” is community wiki, so please feel free to add blocks and improve existing ones.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## New users ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Minimal examples ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) Please add a [minimal working example (MWE)](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that) that illustrates your problem.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Non-answers ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) Your question won't be seen by many people here so it would be best to repost it as a fresh question. Follow-up questions like this are more than welcome! Please use the &quot;Ask Question&quot; link for your new question; there you can link to this question to provide the background.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Instead of posting a “Thank you” as an additional answer, you should thank [user] by upvoting [his/her] answer (with the upward pointing arrow to the left of it; you need 15 reputation points before you can upvote) and accepting it (by clicking on the checkmark). We want to keep the answer space reserved for actual answers, so this non-answer will be removed from public view soon.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Instead of “answering” your own question, you should comment on [user]'s answer or edit the original question to include the additional information.`&lt;br&gt;And optionally: `(You may have to register at tex.sx in order to do so.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Answer edited into question ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `We'd like to keep answers separate from questions, so you should write a separate answer instead of editing your answer into the question. Self-answers are perfectly admissible, and a well-written answer may earn you additional reputation.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Migrated questions/users ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * ``[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) Your question was migrated here from another stackexchange site. Please register on this site, too, and make sure that both accounts are associated with each other, otherwise you won't be able to comment on or accept answers or edit your question.``  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    To make the comment more personal, you can replace `another stackexchange site` with the respective link, i.e. `[so]`, `[su]` or `[sf]` for the _big three_ or `[something.se]` for everything else, e.g. `[ubuntu.se]`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Marking code ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces, they'll be [marked as a code sample](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1192/how-do-i-mark-code-blocks). You can also highlight the code and click the &quot;code&quot; button (with &quot;{}&quot; on it).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ```[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) A tip: You can use backticks `\`` to [mark your inline code](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/863/how-do-i-mark-inline-code) as I did in my edit.```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Intro / closing ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) You don't have to sign with your name since it automatically appears in the lower right corner of your post.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Alternatively:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) It's not necessary to sign your questions (as there is already a box with your username below it) or to begin them with a greeting.`&lt;br&gt;And optionally: `A suggestion: Change your username to something more telling than &quot;user3661&quot;.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Possible duplicates ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - For new(ish) users whose question looks like it might get closed as a duplicate.  If someone's already suggested a question&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `Please take a look at the questions that others have suggested as the answers there might help you.  If they do, that's great, and we'll probably close this question as a duplicate just to keep the place tidy and to help people find the answers quickly.  If they don't, please edit your question here to explain why so that people can better focus their attention to help you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   If not,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `This question is very similar to these others INSERTLINKS. Please take a look at them as the answers there might help you.  If they do, that's great, and we'll probably close this question as a duplicate just to keep the place tidy and to help people find the answers quickly.  If they don't, please edit your question here to explain why so that people can better focus their attention to help you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### For questions that are likely to be closed ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `If your question is closed and you still need help, don't worry, [here you'll find help on what to do next](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1015/my-question-was-closed-as-a-duplicate-but-i-still-need-help-what-can-i-do).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Please ‘accept’ an answer below ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One should [wait a day](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/209/1235) before leaving this comment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Since you have some responses below that seem to answer your question, please consider marking one of them as ‘Accepted’ by clicking on the tickmark below their vote count. This shows which answer helped you most, and it assigns reputation points to the author of the answer (and to you!).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   Note that in case of a self-answer [one _has_ to wait 48 hours (after the question was posted) before accepting](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/01/accept-your-own-answers/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How to look up a math symbol ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Have a look at [“How to look up a math symbol?”](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14/how-to-look-up-a-math-symbol) for ideas how you can easily find a particular symbol.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Do not use Debian packages ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ``Debian and Ubuntu still contain TeX Live 2009. Many packages have been significantly improved since then. I would recommend installing TeX Live directly from [TUG](http://tug.org/texlive/) instead of using the Debian packages. That way you can always get current package versions by running `sudo tlmgr update --all`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Upload images only over the official interface ###&#xD;&#xA; - ``Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official stackexchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: CTRL+G). This ensures that all images are always accessible and do not expire.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ``As new user without image posting privileges simply include the image as normal and remove the `!` in front of it to turn it into a link. A moderator or another user with edit privileges can then reinsert the `!` to turn it into an image again.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Packages for creating MWEs ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The [lipsum](http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The [blindtext](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/blindtext/) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The filecontents environment is only used to include some external files directly into the example, so that it compiles. It is not necessary for the solution.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## For moderators ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Just a note to confirm _X_'s comment, this ought to be reposted as a question for you to get the best chance of it being answered. Also, it's a little confusing to have fresh questions in the _answers_ section, so this answer will be removed from public view in _N_ days.`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The reason is that since the site is intended to be a long term repository, there's a very good chance that bug report posts wouldn't get updated when the bugs are actually fixed. (I'm not saying that *you* wouldn't update, but that in general it's a likely occurrence if the practice of using the site to advertise bugs becomes institutionalized.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, if users' questions give rise to a bug report, then a bug report is obviously acceptable as part of an answer to a question (although I always try to be sure to update such answers if I give them if the bug subsequently gets fixed.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Even on comp.tex.tex (and I suspect also on texhax) there seems to be some general consensus that bug reports are best reported directly to the package author(s) rather than to those forums directly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only time such reports make sense is when the package author has been unresponsive, or the bug has persisted for a long time (which in your specific case doesn't seem to be true.) But even in these cases I don't think that preemptive reports are necessary here.  If the bug is noticeable to enough users, the chances are that it *will* elicit a question or two independently, in which case the bug can be reported in the normal course of answering the question."

Well, I have to modify the answers for my own usages but it is much easier than those exhaustive searches. Does the community believe that it is a good practice to forward immediately any question hence arises directly to this site; searching the TEX.sx and then asking if not found, rather than using other search engines?

Well, actually, I know that I don't like it.  I'm just not sure whether I'm being a bit over-sensitive or not.  It seems a bit small and petty (of me), but first impressions are important.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing I **really really like** about TeX-SX is how friendly we try to be, particular with new users.  This might be a feature of TeX itself: we all remember vividly that day when we sat down to write our first TeX document and stared in bemusement at web pages, books, or whatever as we tried to figure out what on earth was going on.  I think that that shared memory helps us with new users: a lot of stuff here is confusing and it isn't clear at the start how it works.  So when someone comes along and does something wrong, we don't jump on them but try to explain what is the best way of doing things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing that helps with this is our list of [stock messages](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/430/86).  For those who haven't encountered this list, it's a list of templates that can be used in common situations, particularly with new users.  Note the &quot;can be used&quot;.  There is no compulsion about it.  The point is that these make it really easy to be polite!  If you don't have time to compose a detailed specific message, you can just copy one of the templates and know that it won't be rude or abrupt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another thing that helps (I think) is that we take our time.  We have the luxury of doing this because we don't get that many problem posts: TeX-SX is probably one of the easiest sites to work out if something is &quot;on topic&quot; or not.  I know that other sites have problems with this and there, of course, it's important to act fast.  But here I like to think that we give people time to correct their own mistakes.  Certainly when I was a pro-tem moderator we did this, and reading [Joseph's blog post](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/09/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-tex-sx-moderator/) shows that this still continues.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why am I saying all of this?  It's because I just spotted some activity by a non-TeX-SX moderator on the main site which whilst not going against the letter of the law, doesn't take into account our local interpretations of it.  10k users can see the original at http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/26055/86.  For the rest, the story is that a new user posted a question as an answer.  This is common enough that we have a stock message for it.  Werner posted a comment that explained that the situation very nicely (this wasn't the stock message, but is at least as polite which is part of my point about these messages):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Best to ask a new question, since (i) this is not an answer to the question, even though you mention it; (ii) you won't receive the attention required to answer it here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This got a &quot;great comment&quot; vote, though I don't know when that happened.  Shortly after this (2hrs), one of the non-TeX-SX moderators came along and posted this comment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Welcome to LaTeX! If you have another question, please ask it by clicking the Ask Question button. Meanwhile, stating that you know the rule and then ignoring it shows blatant disregard for the effort of our entire community in curating this site. Please respect what we are building here -- we're not just being picky, these are lessons we've learned over years of asking and answering, and making that information as useful as possible for future searchers. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as content goes, I can't fault it.  But as a &quot;welcoming message&quot; then I can.  Quite apart from the site name (I imagine all the ConTeXt users up in arms at this point!), I don't like the &quot;blatant disregard&quot;, nor the &quot;Please respect&quot; phrase (general rule of thumb: any phrase using the word &quot;respect&quot; probably isn't respectful!).  Also, TeX-SX is just a little over a year old and we're a *different* community to the SE/SO one.  We're learning our own lessons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The user went on to post a fresh question and left a new answer at this one saying:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; OK, I have posted another answer. Tx,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since this user didn't have the reputation to comment and is new to the site, that's not actually an unreasonable thing to have done.  It's not the right thing, but they'll learn.  The non-TeX-SX moderator then posted:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Welcome to LaTeX! Please don't add &quot;thanks&quot; as answers. Invest some time in the site and you will gain sufficient privileges to upvote content you like, which is the LaTeX way of saying thank you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now this message looks just a little bit odd.  Why the &quot;Welcome to LaTeX!&quot; again?  Didn't we just have that?  And the second sentence doesn't make any sense at all.  This isn't a &quot;Thanks&quot; message.  Okay, it has &quot;Tx&quot; in it (which I guess expands to &quot;Thanks&quot;).  The last sentence is similarly brusque to the previous message.  So this one has me a little confused.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Until I look at the time stamps on this second exchange.  The user posted their question, and their &quot;Tx&quot; message **before** the non-TeX-SX moderator appeared on the scene.  The &quot;Tx&quot; message was to *Werner*!  So the whole situation was over before the non-TeX-SX moderator appeared, the new user had learnt about posting new questions, okay they needed to know about non-answers (but we have a **polite** stock message for that too).  They had even been given an answer to their question in this time!  So all that was really needed by a moderator was to delete those two non-answers, and even that wasn't urgent as the user had learnt what to do and Werner's comment contained all the necessary information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The more I look at the non-TeX-SX moderator's comments, the more they look like stock comments themselves.  If true, this would be a bit ironic given Jeff Atwood's comment on our stock comments thread:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I'm not a huge fan of any automated &quot;one size fits all&quot; processes like this, but as an experiment to see what happens, it's OK.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now I could try to contact the non-TeX-SX moderator themself.  They have asked a question (one!) here, though I don't really think that they are a member of our community yet.  Indeed, I hope that this moderator joins in this discussion.  But really I want to know what *our* community thinks of this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, I may be just jumping at shadows.  This may be a single event and not a precursor of more intervention from the SE team.  If so, I'll be happy.  If not, I'll be worried.  I **like** our community.  It's not perfect, but it's a lot nicer than any of the other SE sites I've participated in (though photography gets close).  Of course we want to make it better, and would welcome help in doing so, but this doesn't feel helpful to me." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Often, these 'non-answers' get flagged for moderation, and it's then up to the mod team to take appropriate action.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The approach that has been taken on TeX.sx to date in dealing with flagged questions is somewhat different from other parts of the StackExchange network. This became apparent after a [meta post](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1808/do-we-like-non-tex-sx-moderator-activity-on-the-main-site) and some [chat discussion](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/2065009#2065009) yesterday. It's therefore important to understand the two approaches, before considering whether we should modify what we do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The current TeX.sx approach works broadly as follows. When an answer is flagged, the moderators of course take a look at it. Assuming it falls into the 'non-answers' category I've outlined above, either a mod or some other 'involved' user leaves a message to the poster. These are usually modelled on those from the [building blocks](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/430/text-building-blocks) page, for example&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [Welcome to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Your question won't be seen by many people here so it would be best to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; repost it as a fresh question. Follow-up questions like this are more&#xD;&#xA;&gt; than welcome! Please use the &quot;Ask Question&quot; link for your new&#xD;&#xA;&gt; question; there you can link to this question to provide the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; background.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;or&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Instead of posting a “Thank you” as an additional answer, you should&#xD;&#xA;&gt; thank [user] by upvoting [his/her] answer (with the upward pointing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; arrow to the left of it; you need 15 reputation points before you can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; upvote) and accepting it (by clicking on the checkmark). We want to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; keep the answer space reserved for actual answers, so this non-answer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will be removed from public view soon.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The flag is then left 'on' as a bookmark, and the OP is given about a day to return to the site and make a change themselves. If after 24 h nothing has happened, then the mods do remove the item from public view, convert to a comment, or whatever seems most appropriate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The more general StackExchange model starts in the same way: see flag, look at 'answer', consider its status. The next step in the SE approach is again to leave a comment, but then to immediately remove the 'answer' from public view. The idea is that the user will still get a notification, _via_ the global inbox, of the comment, but that this will be (almost) a private message as the only people who can see the comment will be +10k users. As well as avoiding any look of 'criticism' in public, the idea is that this approach scales to very large numbers of issues.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So what I'd like to invite as answers here is views on the relative merits of the two approaches, in particular _seen from the POV of a new user_."

On SO, the volume is a few hundred questions each and every day.&#xD;&#xA; - **Educated audience.** Not to sound elitist, but TeX users tend to come from the academic world, and I dare say they know how to behave. Most of the times. &#xD;&#xA; - **Troll-free zone.** TeX-SE is not very attractive to trolling and flaming (although we did have an incident or two in the past that ignited the passions). If one is interested in trolling, it's so much easier to do it on Programmers-SE, English-SE, or Meta-SO -- if only for the fact these sites are more discussion-y, while TeX-SE is problem-oriented.&#xD;&#xA; - **Friendly atmosphere**. Gentlemanly conduct is predominant -- upvoting competitive answers, giving suggestions for improvement to the best answers, acknowledging the inferiority of one's solution compared to somebody else's. I've seen quite a few enthusiastic comments from new users praising the efforts of somebody which went beyond what was necessary to answer a question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Features of TeX-SE moderation policy that are often viewed as positive from the point of view of new users:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Moderation with a &quot;human touch&quot;.** The moderators have complained in the early days of TeX-SE that they don't have much to do and practically begging us to flag stuff to justify their existence. Now, probably not so much. But the low flag volume allows moderators to spare some time to be extra nice and helpful to misguided users. Although we do have the comment templates, many people (myself included) just type a &quot;customized&quot; comment with suggestions for improvement instead of outright voting to close.&#xD;&#xA; - **No-downvote policy.** It has been established early on that downvoting should be reserved for special circumstances (actively harmful/unhelpful answers), and that downvotes beyond -1 do not serve any useful purpose. This spares the anguish and confusion to new users which are not very clear how SE sites are supposed to work. From experience, it's not very nice to have your first question downvoted without explanation, especially when you tried to make it a &quot;real question&quot; and not just type a sentence or two without context, and I can definitely see how this could chase away potential contributors. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Our [top voters][1] have all very few downvotes, mostly around 20 or so, which is a proof of sorts that few downvotes and comments can work just as well as disciplined downvoting and closing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, the most important principle in studying difficult to understand and analyze systems:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If it works, don't change it&#xD;&#xA;----------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users?tab=voters&amp;filter=all" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The comment you leave will still be as polite as it is with the current policy, just the non-answer and the comment will be hidden from most users. There is no reason to leave a non-answer around for everyone to see, the poster of the non-answer will still see the deleted answer and will also be notified of any moderator comment on his deleted post.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Closing questions is also a point where often closing immediately is the better option, and not necessarily unfriendly. When a new user posts a problematic question that could be salvaged, I usually close immediately and inform the user in a comment on what is necessary to make the question viable. In those cases I explicitly mention that closing is temporary and explain how to get the question reopened after it is improved. If the intent of the asker is clear I might perform the required edits myself and not close at all, but that is often not possible without reading the askers mind.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The idea behind closing immediately is to prevent bad answers from accumulating. If you don't do that you might end up with and edit that clarifies the question, but invalidates previous answers that tried to answer a too vague question. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One disadvantage of leaving flags around for a while is that a moderator can easily miss new flags, as you cannot rely entirely on the flags indicator in the top bar. Dealing with most flags immediately improves the response time because new flags will be obvious to a moderator just visiting the site, but not necessarily checking the flags tab directly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The focus of my queries is to try to build up a *profile* of the site.  My particular hypothesis is that a healthy SE site is one where there is a single population composed of questioners-and-answerers, and that an unhealthy SE site is one where there is a population of questioners and a separate population of answerers.  To that end, I'm trying to develop a query that will give a &quot;profile&quot; of the population in terms of people's question-to-answer &quot;ratio&quot; (which I need to define).  My theory is that TeX-SX will score very highly in this regard (with a few obvious outliers .. naming no names, *\*cough\* egreg \*cough\**) and that some other sites with better numbers of questions and views will not fare so well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have not made much progress as of yet (mainly because I find the syntax a bit opaque). You can see my [list of saved queries](http://data.stackexchange.com/users/6626/andrew-stacey) on the explorer.  Not all are for this project.  At time of writing they include:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. [Number of non-duplicate closed questions](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/s/1914/non-duplicated-closed-questions).  The purpose here is to measure how &quot;well defined&quot; a site is.  If it is clear to the casual user what is or isn't on topic, there will be a low rate of questions closed for reasons other than duplication.  We score well on this, compared to other sites.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. [Proportion of answerers](http://data.stackexchange.com/mathematics/s/1866/proportion-of-answerers).  This looks at all people with reputation over 1000 and looks at the proportion of those who have never asked a question.  This is a very crude measure of what I describe above."

This way people see your answer already and you are down as the first answerer, which is important for the *Enlightened* badge." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However, this was because of an incorrect order in using `\caption` and `\label`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Similar problems to this has surfaced before:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [Table numbering mismatch in caption and in text](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/23385/5764)&#xD;&#xA;- [Having trouble cross-referencing figures](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/27888/5764)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So my question is: If a problem/question turns out to be a *possible* duplicate *after* it was successfully answered, should it be merged (by **voting to close**) with other similarly answer questions?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Voting to close, however, only has 5 options to choose from:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **exact duplicate**: This question covers exactly the same ground as earlier questions on this topic; its answers may be merged with another identical question.&#xD;&#xA;- **off topic**: Questions on TeX - LaTeX - Stack Exchange are expected to generally relate to TeX, LaTeX or related typesetting system, within the scope defined in the [faq](http://tex.stackexchange.com/faq).&#xD;&#xA;- **not constructive**: This question is not a good fit to our Q&amp;A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.&#xD;&#xA;- **not a real question**: It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.&#xD;&#xA;- **too localized**: This question is unlikely to ever help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The easy answer could be: &quot;None of the above options are valid in this case (since the others are not *exact* duplicates and I doubt whether it is too localized), so there's no need to close.&quot; This might very well be the case, since the above options should be considered more rule-ish (firm) than guideline-ish (less firm), otherwise more-than-expected gray-area questions might be closed than is necessary. However, I find the only motivation for closing a problem/question as a possible duplicate is to merge posts (a combination of questions and answers) which, in this case, might be true.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Opinions?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a side-note: Even though the **exact duplicate** (firm) option when voting to close is the only one available for duplicate questions, a question that has been closed as such a duplicate only receives a **possible duplicate** (less firm) stamp."

In my opinion, this merit also exists for questions that aren't just differently worded, but at first appear to be different problems altogether and then turn out to be different manifestations of the same issue.

As a silly example, I would not close &quot;How do I get an alpha in my document?&quot; as a duplicate of &quot;How do I typeset an integral sign?&quot; (though I probably would if it were a &quot;beta&quot;) but I would close it as a duplicate of &quot;How do I find a mathematical symbol?&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem with this criterion is that it requires a judgement as to what a particular questioner would have done.  So actually I modify it to what &quot;a generic TeX-SX user&quot; would do (and probably a generic *new* TeX-SX user).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this criterion is not reached, it is still possible to link questions very clearly.  There are lots of &quot;see also&quot; comments, and &quot;Have you looked at ...?&quot; comments which clearly indicate that another question is very closely related to the current one.  If, as in this case, the questions are almost but not quite duplicates, one can even put a link in the question itself as a comment to future readers.  For example, the question http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/30688/86 was pretty close in intent to http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/17031/3143 and anyone finding the first would probably be looking for the second, but the actual questions weren't duplicates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In conclusion, the software isn't the only way to solve this issue.  The most important thing is to ensure that everything is clearly linked so that people finding the question are led to the best place to get help." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

From my reading here and there, I've gathered the impression (perhaps false!) that this is the sort of thing that SE in principle is in favour of.  So I have another suggestion along these lines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I should say before I say what it is that I have contacted *neither* party in this regard so do not know if either side would be amenable to this suggestion.  My purpose is to determine the support from our community (the TeX-SX site) before deciding whether to take it further.

This of-course is because they are very knowledgeable and quick at the keyboard. I am worried about the long-term effect this behavior can have on both the newcomers **and** the first-page users:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. I worry that first page users will get &quot;burnt-out&quot; by constantly answering &quot;easy&quot; questions.&#xD;&#xA;2. I worry that newcomers who are a little slow and careful in writing their answer will feel up-started by the high-rep users and this will be a drain on their enthusiasm.&#xD;&#xA;3. I worry about this site becoming a place to ask the gurus, rather than a community where everyone has something to give and to get.&#xD;&#xA;4. I worry that this model is non-sustainable for the high-rep users will eventually feel that the site is taking too much time and effort since instead of focusing on the hard problems, they jump the gun on many of the questions. &#xD;&#xA;5. I worry that this model is non-sustainable for the low-rep users since they get used to only asking questions and not answering any, and this can lead to a dependent mentality which is not very health...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In short, I feel that the site would benefit greatly if the high-rep users were a little slower at the keyboard, giving an opportunity for the less-experienced users slowly edit and perfect their answer, as you know all other things being equal, there's a great &quot;advantage&quot; in putting the first answer, in terms of reputation and motivation...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, once a question has been unanswered for a while then clearly it is much better to have it answered than not...but I think we should seriously consider the benefits of making it easier for people to attempt a first answer."

It is text system in *its own respect* that just happens to use LaTeX as back end. Thereby LyX profits from many LaTeX benefits. It also provides (via ERT, layouts and modules) an interface to directly interact with the LaTeX backend. So the connection to the topics discussed on `tex.se` is not the front end (the editor), but the back end of LyX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I have a feeling that the &quot;question behind&quot; is: Do we want to consider `tex.se` as a forum for LyX-related questions or not.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Given that there is a `lyx` tag I, would say LyX-related questions are considered as perfectly okay.

There are some places that have courses in how to use TeX/LaTeX, and presumably they assign homework, but there are a few aspects of that that make me doubtful that people would ask their homework questions here in the same way that they do on, say, Maths-SX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Nonetheless, we do get the occasional question that has a &quot;homework feel&quot; to it in that they appear to simply state a problem with no motivation or explanation as to what they've already done to try to solve it.  An example is: http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/32625/86&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, I don't think that actual homework questions are going to be a large problem for us so I don't think that having an *official homework policy* is either necessary or useful (and given the hassle that they have on Maths-SX with deciding and enforcing such a policy, I'd like to avoid it here).  But questions like the above need *some* action.  I'd rather treat the symptom than the cause and it seems that the simplest treatment is to have a text block that can be used to put a polite and informative comment on such a question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In order to devise such a text block, we need to identify what exactly it is about questions like this that needs improving.  Here's my initial reaction:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. **Impersonal**.  I like to know that I'm helping *a person* so use of the personal pronoun is good in a question.&#xD;&#xA;1. **No motivation**. Not for the original problem, but for the TeX-related part.  What is this for?  What sort of document?  That sort of thing.&#xD;&#xA;1. **No work done**. There's no evidence of having thought how one might start, or what tools one might use.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now I'm well aware that such a question can just be a feature of someone's lack of facility with English, or with this place.  That's why I think that treating the symptoms, not the cause, is better for us: it's the same treatment whether it came from homework as from someone's Norwegian research article.  That's also why I'd like a *polite* text block that can be used.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(And, just to remind everyone, the text blocks are not there because they *have* to be used, but to provide a base-line of civility and politeness for this place.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess I have to have a question ... so here are some:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Does anyone have a different main outlook on the issues that I've raised?&#xD;&#xA;1. Does anyone have other characteristics of these questions that should be addressed in a text block?&#xD;&#xA;1. Does anyone have a suggestion for the text block itself?&#xD;&#xA;1. Am I just tilting at windmills?" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Maybe number of stars is more appropriate, but then it is difficult to tell what exactly two stars mean. I would like the number of votes to reflect popularity on one hand. If two people give five stars, this only tells you that the package is not really popular. Maybe 1 point for &quot;useful&quot;, 5 points for &quot;excellent&quot;, -1 for &quot;bad&quot; and -10 for &quot;very very bad&quot;. If package authors have an account on TeX.SX and if the association is made, they should be granted points from their packages to their reputation on SX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Maybe more than a single category for voting is needed. I would like to vote on:&#xD;&#xA;  - Is package maintained? Is it up-to-date? (Does it work with XeLaTeX for example?)&#xD;&#xA;  - How buggy is it? What is the overall code quality and documentation?&#xD;&#xA;  - How important is it? (TikZ or babel are highly important, but babel is not maintaned.)&#xD;&#xA; - Ability for adding &quot;See Also&quot; with comments/reasons why.&#xD;&#xA;  - For example: even though PSTricks is still an excellent package, one could suggest users to take TikZ instead if starting from scratch.&#xD;&#xA;  - bib package for ConTeXt and biblatex (&amp; friends) for LaTeX: each one serving a different purpose (one is not a replacement for the other), but still tightly related.&#xD;&#xA; - Space for general comments. (With high reputation users being able to edit, as usual.)&#xD;&#xA; - Some kind of wiki to enable community-driven descriptions of packages. Some packages on CTAN miss descriptions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why all that? TeX Live gains a few hundreds of megabytes of extra packages each year with basically zero feedback about their usefulness and popularity. Packages are taken into distribution with zero quality control and once they are in, everyone is afraid to remove them since somebody might be already using that package. With some honest feedback, this would help us make a clear picture of current package status. It would also make it easier for new users to find the packages they are looking for. CTAN offers catalogue with categories, but doesn't show you feedback: for example why some particular package did or did not solve a particular problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If all package descriptions would be hosted on SX, this would also answer the questions of [Automatic links to the CTAN catalogue][2].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Feel free to edit my post.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://ctanhg.scharrer-online.de/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/73/automatic-links-to-the-ctan-catalogue" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

A few months later, I figure out how to make the package compatible with `amsmath` and upload a new version. Now, the old ratings do not reflect the current state of the package. One way around this is that the reputation fades away with time that is, the current rating just depends on the votes received in the last one year (or whatever fixed amount of time) rather than votes received since eternity.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is less of an issue for the big and well though out packages like `hyperref` or `beamer`.

And from what Jim Hefferon says about CTAN goals in the 2005 [CTAN progress report](http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb27-0/hefferon.pdf), it looks possible that CTAN would be enthusiastic about such a cooperation.

Having CTAN volunterres develop and maintain a separate site offline that is integrated with tex.sx through the SX API needs to be considered as a model; maybe SX and/or TUG would be willing to put up some funds to subsidise developers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.ohio.edu/research/innovation/upload/Imgur-Stack-Partnership-PR-for-IC_8-24-10_FINAL-2.pdf" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Reuse of something you have already written earlier is fine as well.&#xD;&#xA; - Include whatever visual stimuli you can think of, e.g. figures, tables, margin notes, background pictures, drop caps / initials ... but in the end, it has to look *good*, not cluttered. &#xD;&#xA; - Make it typographically, aesthetically and perhaps even funwise maximally appealing. the vote is likely to be pretty subjective at any rate&#xD;&#xA; - TeX, XeTeX, LuaTeX etc. are allowed, too, but I'd like to limit the &quot;ingredients&quot; to things provided on CTAN or otherwise *easily* publicly and freely available, so that everybody can reproduce and compile the document.&#xD;&#xA; - The source *must* be included, optimally extensively annotated so that non-expert users can understand which package and which hack does what. This should be taken into consideration for the voting as well.&#xD;&#xA; - The source (i.e. the the LaTeX code, not necessarily the text itself) must be published under some license that allows for easy reuse -- suggestions welcome, I'm not an expert in this field.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please make suggestions to these conditions! We might want to allow for more pages if a title page, ToC, LoF, LoT, an index / glossary, bibliography etc. are included.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In order to avoid &quot;cheating&quot;, i.e. stealing other people's ideas, we have to find some way to get around this. As I think the contest will take place in a separate question on meta (or on the main site?), I suggest everybody posts their document + code, and deletes it immediately. When the deadline is over, the question gets locked and all the answers are undeleted, thus made visible again and the voting can start and users can vote for like a week.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My idea is to see some of the experts on here actually applying their enormous knowledge to a sort of &quot;everyday&quot; project. I'm expecting many useful packages, a number of nice hacks, perhaps some things you wouldn't necessarily include in a bone-dry scientific paper but that look nice after all. Hopefully, users will be able to draw some inspiration from these documents and improve their everyday LaTeX use a bit. In a way, this should be a very personal and subjective best of our [tag:best-practices] questions, but once again, I'd also like to encourage things that are a bit wild. We might even get new questions out of this project, e.g. &quot;How does x work?&quot; or &quot;Is it advisable to do y?&quot;." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Reuse of something you have already written earlier is fine as well.&#xD;&#xA; - Include whatever visual stimuli you can think of, e.g. figures, tables, margin notes, background pictures, drop caps / initials ... but in the end, it has to look *good*, not cluttered. &#xD;&#xA; - Make it typographically, aesthetically and perhaps even funwise maximally appealing. the vote is likely to be pretty subjective at any rate&#xD;&#xA; - TeX, XeTeX, LuaTeX etc. are allowed, too, but I'd like to limit the &quot;ingredients&quot; to things provided on CTAN or otherwise *easily* publicly and freely available, so that everybody can reproduce and compile the document.&#xD;&#xA; - The source *must* be included, optimally extensively annotated so that non-expert users can understand which package and which hack does what. This should be taken into consideration for the voting as well.&#xD;&#xA; - The source (i.e. the the LaTeX code, not necessarily the text itself) must be published under some license that allows for easy reuse -- suggestions welcome, I'm not an expert in this field.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please make suggestions to these conditions! We might want to allow for more pages if a title page, ToC, LoF, LoT, an index / glossary, bibliography etc. are included.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In order to avoid &quot;cheating&quot;, i.e. stealing other people's ideas, we have to find some way to get around this. As I think the contest will take place in a separate question on meta (or on the main site?), I suggest everybody posts their document + code, and deletes it immediately. When the deadline is over, the question gets locked and all the answers are undeleted, thus made visible again and the voting can start and users can vote for like a week.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My idea is to see some of the experts on here actually applying their enormous knowledge to a sort of &quot;everyday&quot; project. I'm expecting many useful packages, a number of nice hacks, perhaps some things you wouldn't necessarily include in a bone-dry scientific paper but that look nice after all. Hopefully, users will be able to draw some inspiration from these documents and improve their everyday LaTeX use a bit. In a way, this should be a very personal and subjective best of our [tag:best-practices] questions, but once again, I'd also like to encourage things that are a bit wild. We might even get new questions out of this project, e.g. &quot;How does x work?&quot; or &quot;Is it advisable to do y?&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Questions:&lt;/h1&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alright, this idea seems to be decently popular. A few questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Will my idea about avoiding &quot;cheating&quot; work the way I described it? 20k+ users might see deleted posts, but I'm confident they wouldn't cheat.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. Should the contest be a question on meta or on the main site? I tend to put it on the main site, just to get more attention. I could explicitly say that that question would generally be of an inappropriate format for tex.sx, but this is an &quot;officially approved exception&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; - Putting it on the main site will probably give the participants a lot of reputation, but I don't think this is a problem. If it were, it could be avoided by putting the question on meta, since meta rep doesn't really matter." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If the post is deleted afterwards you can get your reputation back by recalculating it (go to http://tex.stackexchange.com/reputation#bottom and press the button there). If the post is improved by an edit you can remove the down-vote and get the reputation back as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Spam posts should be simply flagged as spam using the 'flag' link below it. You can down-vote it as well, but this is not required." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As such, you are not forced to use only the existing tags. However, since this Q&amp;A is mostly community-driven, users with at least 500 reputation have the [privilege to retag questions](http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/retag-questions) - informally translates to &quot;users who have been here for a while&quot; - in order to adequately assess the category/tag that it should be filed under.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Secondly, 10k-users have [access to moderator tools](http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/moderator-tools) which allow them to see any new tags that have been created within a given time frame (today, last 2 days, last week/7 days, last 2 weeks/14 days, last month/30 days). There is some form of &quot;responsibility&quot; on these &quot;users who have been here for quite a while longer&quot; to make decisions on the validity of new tags, or change them via a retag if required. Some users (to isolate [@lockstep](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/510/lockstep)) are retag daemons and try to organise the site accordingly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, and more in line with your question. I think the [tag:path] tag has more to do with &quot;file systems path&quot; than it has to do with drawings or &quot;graphical structures&quot;, since the latter is predominantly covered by [tag:tikz-pgf] or [tag:pstricks] and the like; each of which has such a rich set of macros that it would be infeasible to have a tag specific to each &quot;graphical structure&quot; within them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My suggestion would be to perhaps define [tag:path] as a synonym for [tag:filesystem-access], or even rename [tag:filesystem-access] to [tag:file-system].

This shows which answer helped you most, and it assigns reputation points to the author of the answer (and to you!).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   Note that in case of a self-answer [one _has_ to wait 48 hours (after the question was posted) before accepting](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/01/accept-your-own-answers/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How to look up a math symbol ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Have a look at [“How to look up a math symbol?”](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14/how-to-look-up-a-math-symbol) for ideas how you can easily find a particular symbol.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Do not use Debian packages ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ``Debian and Ubuntu still contain TeX Live 2009. Many packages have been significantly improved since then. I would recommend installing TeX Live directly from [TUG](http://tug.org/texlive/) instead of using the Debian packages. That way you can always get current package versions by running `sudo tlmgr update --all`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Upload images only over the official interface ###&#xD;&#xA; - ``Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official stackexchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: CTRL+G).

Reuse of something you have already written earlier is fine as well.&#xD;&#xA; - Include whatever visual stimuli you can think of, e.g. figures, tables, margin notes, background pictures, drop caps / initials ... but in the end, it has to look *good*, not cluttered. &#xD;&#xA; - Make it typographically, aesthetically and perhaps even funwise maximally appealing. the vote is likely to be pretty subjective at any rate&#xD;&#xA; - TeX, XeTeX, LuaTeX etc. are allowed, too, but I'd like to limit the &quot;ingredients&quot; to things provided on CTAN or otherwise *easily* publicly and freely available, so that everybody can reproduce and compile the document.&#xD;&#xA; - The source *must* be included, optimally extensively annotated so that non-expert users can understand which package and which hack does what. This should be taken into consideration for the voting as well.&#xD;&#xA; - The source (i.e. the the LaTeX code, not necessarily the text itself) must be published under some license that allows for easy reuse -- suggestions welcome, I'm not an expert in this field.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please make suggestions to these conditions! We might want to allow for more pages if a title page, ToC, LoF, LoT, an index / glossary, bibliography etc. are included.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In order to avoid &quot;cheating&quot;, i.e. stealing other people's ideas, we have to find some way to get around this. As I think the contest will take place in a separate question on meta (or on the main site?), I suggest everybody posts their document + code, and deletes it immediately. When the deadline is over, the question gets locked and all the answers are undeleted, thus made visible again and the voting can start and users can vote for like a week.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My idea is to see some of the experts on here actually applying their enormous knowledge to a sort of &quot;everyday&quot; project. I'm expecting many useful packages, a number of nice hacks, perhaps some things you wouldn't necessarily include in a bone-dry scientific paper but that look nice after all. Hopefully, users will be able to draw some inspiration from these documents and improve their everyday LaTeX use a bit. In a way, this should be a very personal and subjective best of our [tag:best-practices] questions, but once again, I'd also like to encourage things that are a bit wild. We might even get new questions out of this project, e.g. &quot;How does x work?&quot; or &quot;Is it advisable to do y?&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Questions:&lt;/h1&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alright, this idea seems to be decently popular. A few questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Will my idea about avoiding &quot;cheating&quot; work the way I described it? 20k+ users might see deleted posts, but I'm confident they wouldn't cheat.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. Should the contest be a question on meta or on the main site? I tend to put it on the main site, just to get more attention. I could explicitly say that that question would generally be of an inappropriate format for tex.sx, but this is an &quot;officially approved exception&quot;.&#xD;&#xA; - Putting it on the main site will probably give the participants a lot of reputation, but I don't think this is a problem. If it were, it could be avoided by putting the question on meta, since meta rep doesn't really matter." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For example we have questions regarding encoding. I guess not specifically about characters, since typing on keyboard is not a TeX topic and also how to get non-keyboard characters is more concerning the operating system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Output means characters and symbols. There are more questions are about symbols than characters. For example, people rarely speak about a bullet character which could be represented by a filled circle or an empty one, or smaller like a dot. We speak about what should appear there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Theoretically, we can cleanly separate characters if the actual glyph doesn't matter. But does it help the user, who comes here because of a character or symbol problem, does he differentiate? Does he know that he must type &quot;character&quot; for looking how to work with a backslash or a tilde (independent of the font), but not type &quot;symbol&quot;?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think in practice it's ok to keep one tag for both.

However, our TeX site inherits such security features. So perhaps we suffer a bit because of years of experience on older sites, where they learned that voting needs a bit protection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A voting system is not perfect, some rules help to keep it reasonable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Back to a downvote by mistake:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* If the vote came because of a misunderstanding, so *perhaps* the vote might be deserved somehow, because of the ambiguity of an answer. Is the answer edited, so improved, reversing the vote is possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* If you voted by accident, just leave a comment telling that. The answerer receives the message and can edit, allowing you to undo the undesired action.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, if helps a lot if the reason for the downvote is briefly explained by a comment. Besides that readers and the answerer can learn from the comment, it supports corrective action, so there's no need for a problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="I'm intending this question to be a place for discussion about tag-wiki policies, which after the discussion can be included in http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1007/what-makes-a-good-tag-wiki-entry. This way, that question can be kept clean and a bit FAQ-like. If you think this isn't the best discussion format, please make suggestions; I just didn't feel like asking a question on each single question was the right thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So here are some questions I have:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;1. Markdown / backticks&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Markdown isn't allowed in tag wiki excerpts ([mod statement][1], [more meta.so][2]/[questions on][3]/[this topic][4]).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've seen some tag wiki excerpts that still contain backticks (`) to indicate code, e.g. [tag:titles], which imho doesn't look good, in particular considering that it's pretty clear what's code and what isn't. The same applies to question titles, and I think we discourage use of backticks in question titles. Hence:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Should backticks be used in tag wiki excerpts? I say: no.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;P.S.: There's [meta-tag:markdown] and [meta-tag:markup]. What's the difference?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;2. Duplicate excerpt in &quot;big&quot; tag wiki?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do an excerpt and the &quot;big&quot; tag wiki entry complement each other or are the independent from each other? I.e., should the &quot;big&quot; tag wiki reduplicate all the information given in the excerpt? If there's no &quot;big&quot; entry, should the excerpt just be copied there?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since the &quot;big&quot; entry never appears on its own afaik, I don't think this is necessary. It happens frequently, though, e.g. in [tag:small-caps].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;3. Taking package descriptions from ctan.org&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When I started the [tag:titling] tag wiki, I looked up http://www.ctan.org/pkg/titling and found a good and concise description of the package. Thus, I copied it and added &quot;(quoted from http://www.ctan.org/pkg/titling)&quot;. Is this ok? I just figured &quot;Why make up a new description if the package author, who probably knows the package best, has already provided such a great description?&quot;. [tag:etoolbox] used the CTAN description as well and even used blockquote markup.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/62208/markdown-seems-not-to-work-in-tag-information-excerpts/62218#62218&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/62266/tag-box-on-top-of-questions-page-doesnt-show-markdown-backticks&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/62614/tag-wiki-summary-does-not-allow-markup&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/63656/allow-back-quote-code-formatting-syntax-in-tag-wiki-excerpt" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For example, in the case you raise you could ask about altering publishers class files in general, and whether there are any obvious pitfalls.

The simplest is for the asker to show how much effort they have put in or are prepared to put in.  For example, Ryan Reich asked a big question with http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/34712/86 in that since no-one already had an answer then an answer would involve a lot of hackery.  But I know that Ryan loves PGFKeys so I know that he would put in a lot of effort into making it work.  That gives me more motivation to help and I would feel that when answering that question I wouldn't have to give a full answer straight away, but start with some suggestions which Ryan could then take and then with some back-and-forth together it might lead to a solution.  (Sadly, this is a hypothetical situation as I have too much else to do right now!)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Secondly, sometimes a question just happens to coincide with what I'm thinking about and I can see both that it would be an interesting answer to give and that others would benefit.  Then I might write an answer that leads to a package.  But you can't count on that happening so it's better to be in the first category.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Note, this is in addition to the advice already given to break it down if possible.

I don't think that sweave questions are &quot;generally about R and not TeX&quot; although some are but I do think the main criteria for whether a question should be migrated should depend on the degree to which the question is about the LaTeX part of the sweave document or the R part of the document. So I guess I wouldn't support a blanket tag-based migration policy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately lots of R users arrive a LaTeX via sweave, and don't go through the normal learning process of LaTeX.  But that often means that their questions are quite simple in principle but with the added complication of the intervoven (interswoven?) R code.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That being said, I would also suggest to everyone that if you're not actually using R and Sweave, that you hang back a bit before attempting to answer such questions here,  even if they seem to be fairly obvious LaTeX questions. It would be helpful to see if those of us who *are* using these tools provide some answers first. Because there are peculiarities of using *generated* LaTeX code (as opposed to code you write yourself) fixing someone's Sweave generated code as you would a regular document is not always helpful to Sweave users."

But I think that it is flawed for two reasons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It is not clear *from a post itself* that there is a potential for two voices.  A post with no capitalisation simply looks like a post with no capitalisation.  One has to look further, and know what to look for, to understand the reason behind it.  So people, trying to be helpful, are going to be continually editing her posts to capitalise them.  My guess would be that there are very few occasions on this site where [Bb]arbara needs to put on her Official AMS Hat (here's a chance for Paulo to show off his graphic skills again) and Declaim With Authority - indeed, I can think of only one occasion where this was needed (&quot;Is it legal to TeX the TeXBook?&quot;).  On all other occasions, the fact that she works for the AMS is useful information (her answers on AMS stuff are more trustworthy because of it) but at no point would I think that there was a risk that her posts would be viewed as some official AMS viewpoint.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. It makes the post very hard to read!  The people editing it do so for a reason.  As web browsers aren't as sophisticated as TeX, the need for proper grammar is all the more important as all the line spacing, punctuation spacing, and so forth is hopeless.  I agree that small grammatical changes should only be made if bigger edits are going on, or if the post is near the top of the front page anyway, but there were a lot in that post.  I would have considered editing it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  The conjunction of this with Yiannis' answer is a happenstance that I cannot pass by.  Imagine if barbara had written Yiannis' answer.  It would have begun:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &gt; &quot;dear polish friends, i'm doubly sorry&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's not to say that I think that barbara should properly capitalise her posts.  But I think that we have a higher duty to make the site clear and understandable than to respect any particular person's quirks so if someone edits them just to put in the capitalisation, then actually I would let that stand.  To ensure that it is clear that barbara's posts are her own and not the AMS's then a short disclaimer in her profile page would suffice.  Anyone who knows that she works for the AMS will check there, and anyone who doesn't know that will not be in danger of getting confused anyway.  Moreover, I think that the *default* assumption on the SE sites is that people speak for themselves and not their employers.  These aren't &quot;Ask an Expert&quot; sites, they're &quot;Ask a Fellow Traveller&quot;.  A fellow traveller might be able to tell you the best pubs from their home town, but you'd never mistake them for the mayor.  On the other hand, knowing the best pubs is more the sort of thing we're interested in here than the statistics on how much Real Ale is sold in comparison to Fake Lager[1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1] A tautology for effect."

This is similar to writing &quot;Γρεεκ λεττερς&quot; with Greek letters but using English language (in Latin letters: &quot;Greek letters&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;Black Speech was the language created by Sauron for his servants in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Mordor. Over the centuries many of the Orcs developed their own&#xD;&#xA;&gt; dialects of Black Speech, these dialects were often referred to as&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Orkish. The Orcs were not a very literate group, so few examples of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; their writing exists today. Those few Orks that could write used the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Cirth alphabet. Tolkien included one example of written Black Speech&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in the book &quot;The Lord of the Rings&quot; - the Ring inscription. This&#xD;&#xA;&gt; inscription seems to be unique in that it uses the Tengwar alphabet.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Sauron apparently adapted the Tengwar script of Eregion for writing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for Black Speech. […] Writing Black Speech with Tengwar: The rules for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; writing Black Speech with Tengwar is similar to the Sindarin&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tengwar/Tehtar Mode. Although the Black Speech and the Sindarin&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tengwar/Tehtar modes look similar to each other, they may use&#xD;&#xA;&gt; different Tengwar letters to represent the same sounds. This is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; particularly noticeable with the phonetic values assigned to the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tehtar marks used for the o and u sound, which are reversed.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Daniel Steven Smith: TengwarQuenya_Help, 10/FEB/2003, [http://chomikuj.pl/anuleczek88/r*c3*b3*c5*bcne/fonty+-+elficki/TengwarQuenya_Help,354460461.pdf][9])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the rhyme of &quot;bind&quot; and &quot;find&quot; also in Black Speech as noted by Mark S.

In fact, Martin (author of `collcell`) is explicit in his documentation about the use of `array`, so in this particular case, there isn't too much of a problem.  In it's current state, since there has been some discussion independently about the `array` package, so the problem doesn't really arise any more.&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/23690/2693 Here the comment makes it clear that the OP didn't necessarily understand the syntax of `newcolumntype`; the `beamer` documentation won't help other than (presumably) a pointer to `array`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's an answer of mine that does what I'm suggesting:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/37240/2693&#xD;&#xA;The solution here uses `\resizebox` which is a `graphicx` command.

However, I think that it has developed in a different direction and that if considered now then it might not be made CW.  Please note that it can always be made CW again at a later date, and that individual answers can be made CW independently of the question (though if the question is CW all (subsequent?) answers become CW).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My reasoning is the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Although the question seems to be looking for a &quot;big list&quot; and certainly didn't take much &quot;research&quot; on behalf of the questioner(!), this could well be one of the most **useful** questions on the site (note that I didn't say *popular*, I don't care about that) and although I wouldn't want copy-cat questions, I would want questions that could be similarly useful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Frank's answer is looking as though it is going to be the Ultimate Treatise on floats.  Again, this kind of answer should be treasured on the site and I think that forcing it to be CW is, in some circles, seen as a &quot;it's okay but on the borderline&quot;.  It's not about the reputation (either real or imaginary) but about the perception of this question-and-answer and its status on our site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. I suspect that there was an expectation of this being &quot;use package X&quot; or &quot;use package Y&quot;.  It's not clear yet how comprehensive Frank's answer will be, but I can envision a situation where Frank's answer *explains* everything but doesn't necessarily say which package is best for *achieving* a particular behaviour.  So there is scope for others to answer, but once Frank's answer is finished then I doubt that anyone will just say, &quot;Use package X&quot;!  I expect that people will raise their game and say a longer version of &quot;If you want to do what Frank describes *here* then use package *X* in *such and such* a way&quot; with nice examples and so forth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As this is a proposal, it seems reasonable for people to be able to vote and to put counter arguments.

Many packages have been significantly improved since then. I would recommend installing TeX Live directly from [TUG](http://tug.org/texlive/) instead of using the Debian packages. That way you can always get current package versions by running `sudo tlmgr update --all`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Upload images only over the official interface ###&#xD;&#xA; - ``Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official stackexchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: CTRL+G).

Such questions are more than welcome! Please use the &quot;Ask Question&quot; link for your new question; there you can link to this question to provide the background.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Instead of posting a “Thank you” as an additional answer, you should thank [user] by upvoting [his/her] answer (with the upward pointing arrow to the left of it; you need 15 reputation points before you can upvote) and accepting it (by clicking on the checkmark). We want to keep the answer space reserved for actual answers, so this non-answer will be removed from public view soon.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Instead of “answering” your own question, you should comment on [user]'s answer or edit the original question to include the additional information.`&lt;br&gt;And optionally: `(You may have to register at tex.sx in order to do so.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Answer edited into question ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `We'd like to keep answers separate from questions, so you should write a separate answer instead of editing your answer into the question.

You can also highlight the code and click the &quot;code&quot; button (with &quot;{}&quot; on it).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Inline code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ```[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) A tip: You can use backticks `\`` to [mark your inline code](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/863/how-do-i-mark-inline-code) as I did in my edit.```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Code blocks *and* inline code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ```[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) A tip: If you [indent lines by 4 spaces](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1192/how-do-i-mark-code-blocks) or [enclose words in backticks `\``](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/863/how-do-i-mark-inline-code), they'll be marked as code, as can be seen in my edit. You can also highlight the code and click the &quot;code&quot; button (with &quot;{}&quot; on it).```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Intro / closing ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) You don't have to sign with your name since it automatically appears in the lower right corner of your post.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Alternatively:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) It's not necessary to sign your questions (as there is already a box with your username below it) or to begin them with a greeting.`&lt;br&gt;And optionally: `A suggestion: Change your username to something more telling than &quot;user3661&quot;.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Alternatively:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) Usually, we don't put a greeting or a &quot;thank you&quot; in our posts. While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. Upvoting is the preferred way here to say &quot;thank you&quot; to users who helped you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Possible duplicates ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - For new(ish) users whose question looks like it might get closed as a duplicate.  If someone's already suggested a question&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `Please take a look at the questions that others have suggested as the answers there might help you.  If they do, that's great, and we'll probably close this question as a duplicate just to keep the place tidy and to help people find the answers quickly.  If they don't, please edit your question here to explain why so that people can better focus their attention to help you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   If not,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `This question is very similar to these others INSERTLINKS. Please take a look at them as the answers there might help you.  If they do, that's great, and we'll probably close this question as a duplicate just to keep the place tidy and to help people find the answers quickly.  If they don't, please edit your question here to explain why so that people can better focus their attention to help you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### For questions that are likely to be closed ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `If your question is closed and you still need help, don't worry, [here you'll find help on what to do next](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1015/my-question-was-closed-as-a-duplicate-but-i-still-need-help-what-can-i-do).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Alternatively, for already closed questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `If the linked question doesn't solve your problem, please edit your question to explain why and we'll reopen it. Closing as a duplicate is just a way of ensuring that people who find this question easily find the other one.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Please ‘accept’ an answer below ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One should [wait a day](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/209/1235) before leaving this comment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Since you have some responses below that seem to answer your question, please consider marking one of them as ‘Accepted’ by clicking on the tickmark below their vote count. This shows which answer helped you most, and it assigns reputation points to the author of the answer (and to you!).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   Note that in case of a self-answer [one _has_ to wait 48 hours (after the question was posted) before accepting](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/01/accept-your-own-answers/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How to look up a math symbol ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Have a look at [“How to look up a math symbol?”](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14/how-to-look-up-a-math-symbol) for ideas how you can easily find a particular symbol.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Do not use Debian packages ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ``Debian and Ubuntu still contain TeX Live 2009. Many packages have been significantly improved since then. I would recommend installing TeX Live directly from [TUG](http://tug.org/texlive/) instead of using the Debian packages. That way you can always get current package versions by running `sudo tlmgr update --all`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Upload images only over the official interface ###&#xD;&#xA; - ``Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official stackexchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: CTRL+G). This ensures that all images are always accessible and do not expire.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ``As new user without image posting privileges simply include the image as normal and remove the `!` in front of it to turn it into a link. A moderator or another user with edit privileges can then reinsert the `!` to turn it into an image again.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Packages for creating MWEs ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The [lipsum](http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The [blindtext](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/blindtext/) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The filecontents environment is only used to include some external files directly into the example, so that it compiles. It is not necessary for the solution.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## For moderators ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Just a note to confirm _X_'s comment, this ought to be reposted as a question for you to get the best chance of it being answered. Also, it's a little confusing to have fresh questions in the _answers_ section, so this answer will be removed from public view in _N_ days.`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This “question” is community wiki, so please feel free to add blocks and improve existing ones.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## New users ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Minimal examples ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) Please add a [minimal working example (MWE)](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that) that illustrates your problem.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Non-answers ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) Your question won't be seen by many people here, so it would be best to repost it as a fresh question. [Follow-up questions](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2117/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-post-a-follow-up-question-why-and-how) like this are more than welcome! Please use the &quot;Ask Question&quot; link for your new question; there you can link to this question to provide the background.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Instead of posting a “Thank you” as an additional answer, you should thank [user] by upvoting [his/her] answer (with the upward pointing arrow to the left of it; you need 15 reputation points before you can upvote) and accepting it (by clicking on the checkmark). We want to keep the answer space reserved for actual answers, so this non-answer will be removed from public view soon.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Instead of “answering” your own question, you should comment on [user]'s answer or edit the original question to include the additional information.`&lt;br&gt;And optionally: `(You may have to register at tex.sx in order to do so.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Answer edited into question ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `We'd like to keep answers separate from questions, so you should write a separate answer instead of editing your answer into the question. Self-answers are perfectly admissible, and a well-written answer may earn you additional reputation.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Migrated questions/users ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * ``[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) Your question was migrated here from another stackexchange site. Please register on this site, too, and make sure that both accounts are associated with each other, otherwise you won't be able to comment on or accept answers or edit your question.``  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    To make the comment more personal, you can replace `another stackexchange site` with the respective link, i.e. `[so]`, `[su]` or `[sf]` for the _big three_ or `[something.se]` for everything else, e.g. `[ubuntu.se]`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Marking code ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Code blocks:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces, they'll be [marked as a code sample](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1192/how-do-i-mark-code-blocks). You can also highlight the code and click the &quot;code&quot; button (with &quot;{}&quot; on it).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Inline code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ```[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) A tip: You can use backticks `\`` to [mark your inline code](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/863/how-do-i-mark-inline-code) as I did in my edit.```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Code blocks *and* inline code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ```[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) A tip: If you [indent lines by 4 spaces](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1192/how-do-i-mark-code-blocks) or [enclose words in backticks `\``](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/863/how-do-i-mark-inline-code), they'll be marked as code, as can be seen in my edit. You can also highlight the code and click the &quot;code&quot; button (with &quot;{}&quot; on it).```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Intro / closing ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) You don't have to sign with your name since it automatically appears in the lower right corner of your post.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Alternatively:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) It's not necessary to sign your questions (as there is already a box with your username below it) or to begin them with a greeting.`&lt;br&gt;And optionally: `A suggestion: Change your username to something more telling than &quot;user3661&quot;.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Alternatively:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx) Usually, we don't put a greeting or a &quot;thank you&quot; in our posts. While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. Upvoting is the preferred way here to say &quot;thank you&quot; to users who helped you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Possible duplicates ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - For new(ish) users whose question looks like it might get closed as a duplicate.  If someone's already suggested a question&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `Please take a look at the questions that others have suggested as the answers there might help you.  If they do, that's great, and we'll probably close this question as a duplicate just to keep the place tidy and to help people find the answers quickly.  If they don't, please edit your question here to explain why so that people can better focus their attention to help you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   If not,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `This question is very similar to these others INSERTLINKS. Please take a look at them as the answers there might help you.  If they do, that's great, and we'll probably close this question as a duplicate just to keep the place tidy and to help people find the answers quickly.  If they don't, please edit your question here to explain why so that people can better focus their attention to help you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### For questions that are likely to be closed ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `If your question is closed and you still need help, don't worry, [here you'll find help on what to do next](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1015/my-question-was-closed-as-a-duplicate-but-i-still-need-help-what-can-i-do).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Alternatively, for already closed questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `If the linked question doesn't solve your problem, please edit your question to explain why and we'll reopen it. Closing as a duplicate is just a way of ensuring that people who find this question easily find the other one.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Please ‘accept’ an answer below ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One should [wait a day](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/209/1235) before leaving this comment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Since you have some responses below that seem to answer your question, please consider marking one of them as ‘Accepted’ by clicking on the tickmark below their vote count. This shows which answer helped you most, and it assigns reputation points to the author of the answer (and to you!).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   Note that in case of a self-answer [one _has_ to wait 48 hours (after the question was posted) before accepting](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/01/accept-your-own-answers/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How to look up a math symbol ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Have a look at [“How to look up a math symbol?”](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14/how-to-look-up-a-math-symbol) for ideas how you can easily find a particular symbol.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Do not use Debian packages ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ``Debian and Ubuntu still contain TeX Live 2009. Many packages have been significantly improved since then. I would recommend installing TeX Live directly from [TUG](http://tug.org/texlive/) instead of using the Debian packages. That way you can always get current package versions by running `sudo tlmgr update --all`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Upload images only over the official interface ###&#xD;&#xA; - ``Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official stackexchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: CTRL+G). This ensures that all images are always accessible and do not expire.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ``As new user without image posting privileges simply include the image as normal and remove the `!` in front of it to turn it into a link. A moderator or another user with edit privileges can then reinsert the `!` to turn it into an image again.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Packages for creating MWEs ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The [lipsum](http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The [blindtext](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/blindtext/) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The filecontents environment is only used to include some external files directly into the example, so that it compiles. It is not necessary for the solution.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## For moderators ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Just a note to confirm _X_'s comment, this ought to be reposted as a question for you to get the best chance of it being answered. Also, it's a little confusing to have fresh questions in the _answers_ section, so this answer will be removed from public view in _N_ days.`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="When you ask a question by clicking on the **Ask Question** link in the TeX.SX banner:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![TeX.SX banner][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;or edit an existing question, the post header or toolbar will include the available (basic) formatting options. By clicking the `Image &lt;img&gt; Ctrl+G` button ![Insert image button][2] or by pressing &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;G&lt;/kbd&gt; allows you to select an image for upload to [stack.imgur.com](http://stack.imgur.com/) - the image hosting platform (pronounced like [image-er; imager](http://imgur.com/faq#pronounce)) for the Stack Exchange network:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Post banner][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will bring up the `Insert an image` dialog, where you can select an image to be uploaded &quot;from my computer&quot; or &quot;from the web&quot; (via a web link):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Insert image dialog][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whether you upload an image from your local (computer) or a remote (the web) location, the image will be uploaded to stack.imgur.com, and displayed in your post as:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][#]&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now you can do as it says and `enter [an] image description here`.  This goes in the `alt` attribute of the resulting `img` tag so is useful for text browsers (including screen readers and search engines) or people viewing the page on a slow connection. The accompanying number cites the appropriate reference at the bottom of the post, where you will also see the stack.imgur.com image link. These numerals are used by default, but can be modified as well, as long as the cited numeral is changed as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Why should one use this approach?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Submission using this method [has been available since August 2010](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/08/new-image-upload-support/) and is the preferred way to upload images. Using any other method (for example, manual upload) would cause the images to be removed over time. Also, linking to an external web image is not preferred, since future image removal on the linked site would leave a broken link on TeX.SX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## I'm being told that I cannot insert an image. What now?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;New or low-reputation users are unable to post images; a [privilege](http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/new-user) available to users with at least 10 reputation. Note: you are able to upload images, just not post them - there is a difference. As such, upload the image as usual and remove the preceding `!`. Other community members and moderators with [edit privileges](http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/edit) will be able to revert the removal of `!` in order to embed the image in your post.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## I've uploaded an image, now I'd like to crop it. Is that possible?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You should either re-upload a cropped version of the image, or you could [use imgur.com's website to crop an image](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1799/how-do-you-crop-an-attached-pdf/1802#1802). For more information, see http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1799/how-do-you-crop-an-attached-pdf&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## What image types are supported for upload?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The following file types are uploadable (as per the [imgur FAQ](http://imgur.com/faq#types)): JPEG, GIF, PNG, APNG, TIFF, BMP, PDF, XCF (GIMP). Note that the TIFF, BMP, PDF and XCF formats will be converted to PNG on upload.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## I have a large-format image that I want to upload. Is there a limit?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The display engine of the Stack Exchange network shrinks the image to fit within the horizontal boundary of the post, regardless of its size. However, there is a file limit. According to the [imgur FAQ](http://imgur.com/faq#size):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The maximum non-animated file size you can upload is 10MB. However, if&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the image is over 1MB then it will automatically be compressed or&#xD;&#xA;&gt; resized to 1MB, for better viewing on the net. The maximum animated&#xD;&#xA;&gt; file size (both GIF and PNG) is 2MB.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The downsized display of my large-format image is suboptimal. How do I display it at 100% zoom?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the original uploaded image is not resized at upload, you can link to it. This would allow users to view it at full resolution in their browser (or elsewhere). Here's how: Assuming that you uploaded an image&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;![A picture that is quite large][7]&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;you could make it a hyperlink by using the StackExchange markdown&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;[![A picture that is quite large][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Can I add tooltip text to my uploaded image?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes. Specify this in quotes after the image link, at the bottom of the post:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/8dK7S.png &quot;Click here to enlarge&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/8dK7S.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/LSGkU.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/bvljG.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/wZgiX.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/sJXVd.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Many packages have been significantly improved since then. I would recommend installing TeX Live directly from [TUG](http://tug.org/texlive/) instead of using the Debian packages.

In its current form (revision 9) then it looks fine to me, though the last sentence is a little flippant.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This looks to me like a happy conclusion.  However, I would like to make one comment on the process whereby this was reached.  To me, saying things like &quot;good style with **Stack Exchange**&quot; or &quot;how **Stack Exchange** is meant to work&quot; are not good arguments and do not serve to get to the desired point as quickly as possible (and with the fewest feathers ruffled).  Note that Joseph's comment was about a &quot;Q&amp;A format&quot;, which is better but still not ideal.  The point is that there is a *real reason* for following this &quot;ideal format&quot; which has nothing to do with the fact that this place is run on the SE engine.  That reason is that someone looking at this question will expect it to be in a particular format, namely Question first followed by Answers, and so will look for information in a particular place.  Not finding it there makes it harder for that person to learn.  Hence putting the answer in the question makes this whole question-and-answer *less* useful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If it were me, being told &quot;This makes your Q&amp;A less useful&quot; (and told why) would make me much more amenable to editing it to make it more useful.  Being told &quot;StackExchange says so&quot; makes me *less* amenable." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Mathjax is another common candidate for closures for this&#xD;&#xA;&gt; reason.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; The issue of what is off topic is hazy around the boundary...&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Nonetheless, I think this question is off topic, since there is no TeX&#xD;&#xA;&gt; processor involved and the &quot;LaTeX&quot; code here is a subset.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; I'd like to add that this is not a criticism of Word, MathType or MathJax,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which I mentioned earlier (I make extensive use of MathJax in fact).

I've always wondered, though, why a site devoted to TeX doesn't use TeX fonts.  I feel like it ought to, if possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've been working a lot lately with the Latin Modern collection (derived from Donald Knuth’s Computer Modern font collection) and have had great success getting them to work in HTML via CSS.  The results are so close to actual TeX, in fact—right down to the ligatures and the TeX, LaTeX, and XeTeX logos—that I can’t tell the difference anymore without scrupulous examination.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Below is a sample page showing what TeX.sx could look like using TeX fonts.  The image is actually a hyperlink which brings you to a web page that displays the content shown in the image.  The image is not faked; it’s an actual browser screenshot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I want to be careful not to step on any toes here, but I also want to demonstrate what is possible with modern HTML+CSS and suggest that a reskinning of TeX.sx might be something worth considering.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The web page shown here renders identially in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome on Mac OS X, and even displays properly on the iPhone and iPad.  It also should work the same on Linux and Windows as well, although I haven’t a way to test those.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sample 1&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://jadzia.bu.edu/~tsl/tex-sx-lmodern-test/41924.html&quot;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;![sample][1]&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Typographical notes:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* This has available to it the full range of Latin Modern fonts in all their optical sizes. This sample uses `lmr10` (roman 10pt) for the questions and answers, and uses `lmr9` (roman 9pt) for the comments. Auxiliary text such as tags, link-buttons, and page footers use `lmss8` (sans-serif 8pt).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The Latin Modern Roman family provides ff, fi, fl, ffi, and ffl ligatures as standard Unicode characters U+FB00 through U+FB04, respectively.  I encoded these by hand in this sample, but it is not difficult to translate these on-the-fly when generating a web page.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The Latin Modern Roman family also provides proper opening and closing single- and double-quotation marks.  I converted `'` and `&quot;` here by hand in this sample, but again it is not difficult to translate these on the fly, given a few simple rules of engagement and a well-tested algorithm. (I only know of one ambiguous case: `'n'` can mean ’n’ as in “fish ’n’ chips” and it can also mean ‘n’ as in “the letter ‘n’ is the 14th letter of the alphabet.”)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Using CSS properties like `vertical-align`, it is trivial to lower the E in the TeX logo and raise the A in the LaTeX logo. Similarly, using `margin-left` and `margin-right`, these characters can be tightly kerned. (`letter-spacing` might be another option for kerning.) Here, the `&lt;sub&gt;` and `&lt;sup&gt;` tags were subclassed, allowing graceful degradation on extremely old browsers. Latin Modern Roman even has the backwards E in XeTeX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Justified paragraphs seem to render acceptably. Hyphenation in HTML obviously isn't up to TeX standards, nor is paragraph line-fitting, but it certainly doesn’t look terrible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The `lmtt10` font is much more TeX-like than the current Consolas and is quite readable on the screen.

As has already been mentioned in a comment, CM is rather 'light' on the screen: Knuth allowed for the bleed in printing when designing the font, but that makes it a not-so-good choice on screen. More generally, I feel that sanserif fonts probably work better, particular on smaller screens. Secondly, the 'LaTeX always uses CM' approach is something of a problem: you can have too much of a good thing. Finally, to me it is immediately obvious that something is 'wrong' when using CM without using TeX to lay it out. Web browsers don't get the line greyness right, and some of the spacing therefore jars badly. That stands out more with CM than with other fonts as I'm used to CM being 'right'."

It would be nice if I could flag and filter questions, so that I don't see the same (to me) unanswerable questions over and over.

The problems that immediately jump out at me are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The first question is missing article (or perhaps a plurals).&#xD;&#xA;1. I'm also a little nervous of the &quot;related typesetting system&quot; - it's not clear what that is.  How &quot;related&quot; does a typesetting system have to be?  Sibling?  First cousin?  Third cousin, twice removed?  I realise that conciseness is key here, but concise and precise are not mutually exclusive.  How about &quot;Is your question about TeX or a TeX-based typesetting system?&quot;&#xD;&#xA;1. Second sentence: I'd rather go for *focus* than the answer/discussion divide.  I'd also steer clear of saying things like &quot;We prefer&quot; as if we've sat down and made a list of all the things we don't like (Questions that give rise to discussion, Word, cats, things that go bump in the night, Paulo's graphics) and decided to ban them all from the site.  How about &quot;Your question is more likely to get answered if it is focussed.&quot; (and the double s is non-negotiable).&#xD;&#xA;1. Third and fourth &quot;sentence&quot;s.  They aren't.  Sentences, I mean.  Seriously.  Let's be grammatical about this.  And &quot;research&quot;?  What research?  Should I link all of my articles?  Is it really going to help someone answer my question on expansion to know what is the [Topology of the space of piecewise-smooth loops](http://www.math.ntnu.no/~stacey/Research/Preprints/piecewise.html)?  What do these *mean*?  For us, they mean &quot;Show what you've already tried.&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;1. The link to the more detailed &quot;how to ask&quot; page is &quot;asking help&quot;.  Is that &quot;help about asking&quot; or &quot;if you want more help, here's where to ask&quot;?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes, I'm nitpicking.

The problems that immediately jump out at me are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The first question is missing article (or perhaps a plural-s).&#xD;&#xA;1. I'm also a little nervous of the &quot;related typesetting system&quot; - it's not clear what that is.  How &quot;related&quot; does a typesetting system have to be?  Sibling?  First cousin?  Third cousin, twice removed?  I realise that conciseness is key here, but concise and precise are not mutually exclusive.  How about &quot;Is your question about TeX or a TeX-based typesetting system?&quot;&#xD;&#xA;1. Second sentence: I'd rather go for *focus* than the answer/discussion divide.  I'd also steer clear of saying things like &quot;We prefer&quot; as if we've sat down and made a list of all the things we don't like (Questions that give rise to discussion, Word, cats, things that go bump in the night, Paulo's graphics) and decided to ban them all from the site.  How about &quot;Your question is more likely to get answered if it is focussed.&quot; (and the double s is non-negotiable).&#xD;&#xA;1. Third and fourth &quot;sentence&quot;s.  They aren't.  Sentences, I mean.  Seriously.  Let's be grammatical about this.  And &quot;research&quot;?  What research?  Should I link all of my articles?  Is it really going to help someone answer my question on expansion to know what is the [Topology of the space of piecewise-smooth loops](http://www.math.ntnu.no/~stacey/Research/Preprints/piecewise.html)?  What do these *mean*?  For us, they mean &quot;Show what you've already tried.&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;1. The link to the more detailed &quot;how to ask&quot; page is &quot;asking help&quot;.  Is that &quot;help about asking&quot; or &quot;if you want more help, here's where to ask&quot;?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes, I'm nitpicking.

Is that possible?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You should either re-upload a cropped version of the image, or you could [use imgur.com's website to crop an image](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1799/how-do-you-crop-an-attached-pdf/1802#1802). For more information, see http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1799/how-do-you-crop-an-attached-pdf&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## What image types are supported for upload?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The following file types are uploadable (as per the [imgur FAQ](http://imgur.com/faq#types)): JPEG, GIF, PNG, APNG, TIFF, BMP, PDF, XCF (GIMP). Note that the TIFF, BMP, PDF and XCF formats will be converted to PNG on upload.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## I have a large-format image that I want to upload. Is there a limit?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The display engine of the Stack Exchange network shrinks the image to fit within the horizontal boundary of the post, regardless of its size. However, there is a file limit. According to the [imgur FAQ](http://imgur.com/faq#size):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The maximum non-animated file size you can upload is 10MB. However, if&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the image is over 1MB then it will automatically be compressed or&#xD;&#xA;&gt; resized to 1MB, for better viewing on the net. The maximum animated&#xD;&#xA;&gt; file size (both GIF and PNG) is 2MB.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The downsized display of my large-format image is suboptimal. How do I display it at 100% zoom?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the original uploaded image is not resized at upload, you can link to it. This would allow users to view it at full resolution in their browser (or elsewhere). Here's how: Assuming that you uploaded an image&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;![A picture that is quite large][7]&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;you could make it a hyperlink by using the StackExchange markdown&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;[![A picture that is quite large][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Can I add tooltip text to my uploaded image?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes. Specify this in quotes after the image link, at the bottom of the post:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/1hCjK.png &quot;The TeX.SX banner&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/1hCjK.png &quot;The TeX.SX banner&quot;&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/LSGkU.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/bvljG.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/wZgiX.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

All ideas would be very welcome.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Andrew already suggested something in [Go back to your constiuencies and prepare for public beta!][1] Let's extend it and continue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Post news about the site in your blog.** Post again, if new things happen, like finishing of beta, getting the domain name, reaching a number of 1000 users and so on. I've seen:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - [A new place for TeX questions][2] and [Places for questions (again)][3] by [Joseph Wright][4]&#xD;&#xA;  - [TeX, LaTeX and Friends - a new Q&amp;A site][5] by [Stefan Kottwitz][6]&#xD;&#xA;  - [New (La)TeX Q&amp;A Site][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Link to the site.** If you own a web page, maintain a link list or a blog roll, you could add a link to our TeX site to show where you discuss and where you support LaTeX users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Mention the site in forums dealing with LaTeX.** But be tactful, there shouldn't be the impression that we entice away their users. It might be that users *additionally* join our site, with no harm to the other forum. Many maths, physics, chemistry or operating systems discussion boards have subforums dealing with LaTeX. There it wouldn't be a competition with the main board. At last, why shouldn't TeX interested users know about a new site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - I posted a news message on the german LaTeX forum [golatex.de][8]. Not yet in other forums because of the thoughts written some lines above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Kindly invite LaTeX users on related sites** like for example [here on SO][9].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Get other bloggers interested.** Perhaps tell them the news in a comment on their blog.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Inform about the site in journals.** For instance in the [PracTeX journal][11] or in the journal of the german usergroup [DANTE e.V.][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Submit our site to Web catalogues**. I would have submitted it already to the [Open Directory project][10], but keep waiting for the final domain name. There are further catalogues.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Use social networks.** Perhaps you're active on Facebook or Twitter or microblogging sites like identi.ca.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Spread the news locally.** For instance there are monthly meetings of TeX friends in many cities, perhaps you already visit one of them. Tell your friends in TeX user groups. The students at your university might be happy to hear about a place that helps them solving LaTeX problems with their writings.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Link to our solutions.** If you see a problem in an online discussion, it would help the questioner to find the solution here. Perhaps he would come back here helping other users or discussing more questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Think about events on our site.** Perhaps there could be a contest in article writing, in finding a solution for an existing problem, in raising the best idea on a certain suject, or making the best design for a TeX mousepad with reference sheet or a cup or the like. :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Post interesting questions**.

The dashes (of whatever type) make it a bizarre sentence and should be removed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I was about to propose that in that particular place, &quot;This site&quot; would be the clearest.  But then I realised that even that doesn't fit because it is not **this site** that is the &quot;asterisk&quot;, but the StackExchange Q&amp;A site model.  The current phrase implies that it is just this site that is the intersection of wikis, forums, and so forth.  So for that place, I propose:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The StackExchange question-and-answer format aims to be that asterisk in the middle.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't see it on the main site page - is it only for people not logged in?  Nope, can't see it when not logged in either.  I'll skip that one.  Oh, hang on.  Do you mean the *title* as shown in the title bar?  If so, I agree with the change but again think it should go further.  At the moment, the title bar of the main site reads as follows for me:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Recently Active Questions - TeX - LaTeX - StackExchange - Mozilla Firefox&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, the dashes are simply daft.  I think I'd go for something like &quot;TeX at StackExchange&quot;, the idea being that it makes it clear what is the topic and where it is hosted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only bit of the FAQ that I could find was the first part:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Welcome to TeX.SX! TeX.SX is for enthusiastic users of TeX, LaTeX and related systems, people who love to create well-structured and beautifully typeset documents.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The `, LaTeX` could easily be removed here.  It is mentioned in the first bullet point following so there is no danger of missing it.  If we really have to get rid of the `TeX.SX` (why?) then make it an actual name in the first instance and in the second use a referral back to the first (with apologies to Alan Munn for incorrect usage of grammatical terms), such as &quot;Welcome to the TeX site at StackExchange!  This site is for ...&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I *strongly* prefer &quot;TeX-SX&quot; to &quot;TeX.SE&quot; (note the punctuation) and &quot;TeX.SX&quot; is acceptable.  I'd rather annoy random other StackExchange users than the Swedes.  However, as this has brought it to my attention, I'd rather make the essential details of the site clear right at the outset: that it is about TeX and is hosted on the StackExchange network.  Someone visiting the FAQ is more likely to be completely new to the SE network than just visiting from some other site.  All of &quot;TeX-SX&quot;, &quot;TeX.SX&quot; (is it some new variety of &quot;FX&quot;?), and &quot;TeX.SE&quot; (what has Sweden ever done to you?), are unclear on first sight (and site)."

This is quite interesting because it implies that the (long) tag wiki should contain all the information given in the excerpt, partially answering http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1717/4012. But that's just a side comment, I'd actually like to suggest to **move the _show excerpt_ to the place where the excerpt is going to be shown**, i.e. in between _About {braces}_  and _These are characters ..._. It just seems more natural and it would de-clutter the three-link area down there, in which it is kind of hard to tell on the first glance where one link ends and where the next one starts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, does anybody know what SamB meant by his comment at the bottom and can something be done about it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/tags/braces/info&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xXZmZ.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There have been some really neat answers to problems developed on the site, and I think it would be nice to put them together in to some sort of easily usable state.  My reasons are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It's easier to download a single package/style file than to cut and paste a load of code from here, there, and everywhere into ones preamble.&#xD;&#xA;1. Some of the code could do with a bit of polishing (for example, putting in to a macro, hiding internal bits) that are standard when making a package, but not when posting an answer here. &#xD;&#xA;1. **Publicity:** Ideally, these would get used and the people who used them would find out about us.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By doing this as a collective venture, I hope that:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It is a real _community_ project.  I'm not so naive that I think that loads of people will do the necessary work, but hopefully lots of people will see what's going on and at least feel as though it's based on the community's collective work.&#xD;&#xA;1. It isn't loads of work for any one person.  Most of the stuff I'm thinking of is already workable, so I'm hoping it won't take too much work to put it together.&#xD;&#xA;1. This is only the first of many ...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On that last note, I'm picking TikZ because it's the area I think I've contributed most to.  Also, there's a reasonable volume of TikZ answers here to choose from, and a good number of people contributing them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**First Steps:** We need some code to put in the package, and some volunteers willing to take part.  I think that we can adapt the SE software to gather all that information here! So:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you like or dislike the idea, vote on **this question** accordingly.&#xD;&#xA;1. Propose (and link to) TikZ/PGF answers on the main site that you would like to see in such a package in answers to this question, one link per answer.  Also vote for those you like (but the people who volunteer to put it together will have the final say).  Please bear in mind that to be worth putting in a package, it has to be something that you can envision being used several times.  **Proposing your own answers** is not only acceptable but actively encouraged.  If, when reading an answer, something occurs to you as a possible improvement, please make a note of it (just the idea at this stage).&#xD;&#xA;1. In **one** answer, we can collect names of volunteers who are willing to do a bit of extra work polishing the answers.  I'll start this off, make it CW, and &quot;accept&quot; it (when I can) to ensure that it is easily distinguished from the rest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Template for proposals&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ### TikZ/PGF Answer:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ### Brief Description:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ### Possible Improvements:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Further discussion on this topic is available here:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1248/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/766853#766853" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I see only one of the following possibilities&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. a user has serially voted for 11 days without the script noticing it;&#xD;&#xA;2. two users have serially voted for 5 days without the script noticing it;&#xD;&#xA;3. more than two users have serially voted in the same time frame.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;None of them seems likely. Are there other possibilities?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note: this hasn't had any impact on my reputation, since the nullified votes have in most cases been replaced by valid votes that hadn't contributed to the reputation because of the cap. The question is general: this possible bug may have heavy impact on other user's reputation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT&#xD;&#xA;--&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd like to add some data. My current number of answers is 1773 in 347 days, which gives an average of 5.1 answers per day. So the suspected serial voter can't vote more than 5 answers a day, which means 87 days. Assuming four serial voters that act every day, this means 22 days.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another hypothesis is that, when a serial vote is detected, *all* votes from that user to the target are nullified. This is absurd.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm pretty sure that many users upvote almost all my answers. Does this qualify as &quot;serial voting&quot;? Is this the case? If it is, the algorithm is flawed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 2&#xD;&#xA;--&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reputation graph is clearly wrong and surely offensive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I *didn't* lose 4015 rep points on March 2 as the graph seems to imply. The new system takes care not to show lost reputation for deleted answers, while, to the contrary, in my case it shows utterly wrong data. On March 2 I indeed got 345 reputation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can understand that StackExchange nullifies some upvotes because of suspect serial voting (which is *not* my case, but it's only my opinion); I can't understand why such a big *non loss* of reputation is gigantically exposed for all to see, when I did *nothing* wrong (I have received *six* downvotes and have 1798 answers)."

That way you can always get current package versions by running `sudo tlmgr update --all`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Upload images only over the official interface ###&#xD;&#xA; - ``Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official stackexchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: CTRL+G). This ensures that all images are always accessible and do not expire.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ``As new user without image posting privileges simply include the image as normal and remove the `!` in front of it to turn it into a link. A moderator or another user with edit privileges can then reinsert the `!` to turn it into an image again.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Packages for creating MWEs ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The [lipsum](http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The [blindtext](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/blindtext/) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `(The filecontents environment is only used to include some external files directly into the example, so that it compiles. It is not necessary for the solution.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## For moderators ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Just a note to confirm _X_'s comment, this ought to be reposted as a question for you to get the best chance of it being answered.

Touchstack was originally intended to be a smartphone web client for Stack Exchange sites (using the API), but I ended up rushing it out so I could show it to a few people. I posted it on Stack Apps as a work in progress, intending to update it over the next few days and bring in a *lot* of features that were missing. It so happened attribution was one of the key things that was missing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As per life, I ended up moving onto other projects (amongst schoolwork, university application etc, arguably much more important) and completely forgot about Touchstack. Then SE mobile shipped, and any impetus I had for working on anything to do with Touchstack was long gone. Attribution was somewhere in a long list of forgotten updates for the project.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Needless to say, since an official version of mobile SE was released there is little-to-no point of Touchstack - it's just wasting Heroku's resources. I was going to leave it to rot once the domain expired in May, and so instead of updating it now, I'd rather just kill it off.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So yes, I'm sorry for misusing your content without correct attribution. The issue will go away shortly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;Also do check out [Stack Apps](http://stackapps.com/) if you get some time, it's full of other cool things.&lt;/sup&gt;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'd started to put together an answer to that as well but @egreg's was better so I never completed it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes, it is phrased as asking for one particular layout for one particular event, but actually it's a reasonable question asking for a typographically acceptable layout that is visually quite distinct from the standard layouts, so some people would be unsure if LaTeX can do this _at all_ and so asking a question about it seems not unreasonable to me. Why is it worse than asking for the typographically very dubious layout of stretchy baselineskip asked today (which I answered)?" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I am not an expert in any area of LaTeX as I am still learning many aspects of it though. I may say that I have used LaTeX for over five years but most of the time I get obsessed with the minor details of it that I forget the purpose of using it. Sometimes I read books and I always wonder if I can do it. I try it and then come up with thousands of problems, then I go online, look at the some documentation and still no solution. If I cannot achieve what I want then I resort to tex.stackexchange.com. I have had fabulous responses from most of you guys and I accept that I am still in the developing stage. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With respect to the bad or good questions, it is relative to the responder and reader. We may set criterion and advice the users on how to use the website but they will always haunt us. Generally speaking, from a lecturers' perspective, I believe that no question is bad and that attention and guidance for those who want to learn should be given. I have made some bad questions but with your guidance I have corrected myself. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The idea of closing is a little bit harsh and from an education perspective negative reinforcement. Probably, a `in process` or `in evaluation` or something different would give some hope to the user in particular. We must remember that whenever a question is asked, for the most part, it is localized and dependent on what we are doing. Yes some questions may help others but that also depends on the answers given." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Technically this should be resized to `128x128`, but it turns out that it's close enough in size that Chrome doesn't care.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now in Chrome (19.0.x for these instructions) open the extensions viewer (under the windows menu when on OSX, and spanner-&gt;tools elsewhere) and enable Developer Mode (top right of the window). Some new options will appear, one of which is *Load unpacked extension*. Click on this and point it to the folder you created. You've now added the app, and you can disable developer mode.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://cdn.sstatic.net/tex/img/apple-touch-icon.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The first one should show the issue / the code used, while the second form is mostly an example how to apply certain techniques. In both cases the images are useful. The package might not be wanted for the first kind and only for the second for certain example usages. Of course if there is a MWEs provided with a question, then it should be used as base of the answer code.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;Here a small MWE to see how the whole thing works:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    % Example MWE&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{mwe}&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \blindtext&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \noindent&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics[width=.4\textwidth]{example-image-a}\hfill&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics[width=.4\textwidth]{example-image-b}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \blindtext&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Result][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The images come from the TEXMF tree:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;example-image-a.png, id=1, 401.5pt x 301.125pt&gt; &lt;use example-image-a.png&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;example-image-b.png, id=2, 401.5pt x 301.125pt&gt; &lt;use example-image-b.png&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    [1{/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map} &lt;/usr/&#xD;&#xA;    local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/mwe/example-image-a.png&gt; &lt;/usr/local/te&#xD;&#xA;    xlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/mwe/example-image-b.png&gt;]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/RZx8z.png&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`.

Please also include a link to this question to provide the background.&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ###&quot;Thank you&quot; answers&#xD;&#xA;    Instead of posting a “Thank you” as an additional answer, you should thank [user] by upvoting [his/her] answer (with the upward pointing arrow to the left of it; you need 15 reputation points before you can upvote) and accepting it (by clicking on the checkmark). We want to keep the answer space reserved for actual answers, so this non-answer will be removed from public view soon.&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ###Code blocks and inline code&#xD;&#xA;    A tip: If you [indent lines by 4 spaces](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1192) or [enclose words in backticks `\``](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/863), they'll be marked as code, as can be seen in my edit. You can also highlight the code and click the &quot;code&quot; button (with &quot;{}&quot; on it).&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ###Image inclusion How-To&#xD;&#xA;    Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official stackexchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: CTRL+G). This ensures that all images are always accessible and do not expire.&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ###Migrated Question&#xD;&#xA;    Your question was migrated here from another stackexchange site.

For me this is a clear sign if I have a good understanding of a subject or not. So by answering questions, I see two benefits: the OP has got an answer to his/her problem, and I learn something anew from most questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another aspect: when I come across a problem with another programming language or framework or whatever and I do a google search, I am always glad to get a result from a stackexchange site (stackoverflow mostly), because I know that if the question matches with mine, I can find an answer very quickly and I don't have to look through lots of posts. I think that this is a great and very valuable state and I wish to do support this site to be most useful for people like me that have a (Lua)TeX question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I really like the &quot;mark this answer as accepted&quot; feature of the SX sites.

Before you criticize something, give it five minutes and think about why it works this way. It is very easy to list tons of critics of the model here. And all those reasons you listed are quite valid on their own.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But this site has been here for quite a while and many people have got their answers for questions from really newbie to really advanced. And it works in such a way that many questions are answered really quickly. At least all my questions were answered in less than a few hours. When the questions were not specific enough people just pointed that out, and I improve the question. This is really doing a favor for both the one asking and the one answering.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition, if you google something and found a link to a Stack site, you know exactly what you are expecting. By reading the link text (the tile of the questions), you know what that link is about, if it is relevant to your problem. And if it is, you can expect an answer that has been examined by the original author asked the questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All these won't work if people don't ask questions in a specific way. Any one used a mailing list or forum in the past knowing how slowly problems got solved, even in some very high traffic forums. That is not because people there are less eagerly to help, but it is more difficult to find help when all kinds of discussions are mixed up in one place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The world is about making choices. You cannot have everything works exactly the way you want. Before you dismiss the idea of &quot;asking specific question&quot;, think about these questions first for five minutes:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; What is the benefit of this policy? Why things had worked this way?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is easy to find reasons why things shall work in your way. Understanding why things don't work in your way is more difficult. I am not saying you have to accept things as they are. I am just saying they exist for a reason, and you shall understand this reason before you deny it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Stack model may or may not be the best. It is certainly not the best for everything. But it works very well so far for what it does: helping people getting things done. A general post without specific question certainly has its value. But it will have much greater value elsewhere than here. Here, a specific question and a clear answer has more values than a general post. First, it help a small group of people having that questions directly. Second, it helps other visitors who will have similar problems directly. Think about the alternative, if tons of general posts appear every now and then, with other specific questions mixed among them, will you find those question that are interesting to you and you are able to answer as easy as it is now? I don't think so. We all have too little time and too much to read. If I want to read something interesting without specific questions, I would turn to comp.text.tex or elsewhere. I come here because I have a question or I want to read some interesting questions and see if I can solve some of them. Other people may come here for other reasons. But one thing in common is that we like this place because it works in a unique way. And I believe people would like to keep it this way before there is a clear better way.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/3124-give-it-five-minutes" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

What **real** problems/harm does it pose when questions are more discussion like or not very specific? Or are more abstract in nature and require more debate like responses? (BTW, I do realize that you have to keep things on the straight and narrow BUT just like the law you have to make intelligent decisions and not apply rules blindly.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's very hard to wrap my head around the very narrow minded mentality (the way I see it) of Stack Exchange's question/answer format. Maybe I am too used to the traditional forum like structure and tend to want either an very specific answer (for which I generally ask very specific question) or more general questions (for which I want general answers... and which usually get me into trouble).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, suppose I post an irrelevant question to TeX SE that is rather off topic but still vaguely related and a few people might find it interesting. What harm does it pose to let the question stand and not close it or delete it or whatever? If no one is interested in the question it will just die on it's own, and if some people find it useful then isn't that a good thing? Why would it bother someone to allow it when it has no real negative effect (as far as it effecting people that come to the forum)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The layout/UI for Stack Exchange is like nothing else. Even in Microsoft's forums they have bugs they never fix with code quoting (well, probably designed only to work with IE) and it doesn't look appealing. I like Stack Exchange because of that but I tend to like more of a discussion/debate based approach to questions/answers. I am not the type of person just to accept on answer on faith or authority (it has to make sense to me or I have to &quot;see it with my own eyes&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, I guess this is bad for Stack Exchange but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any thing out there like SE for more discussion like and less strict (although within reason) interaction?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Maybe it would be possible to get SE to add a &quot;Discussion&quot; part (next to questions) that is more open? I see a lot of forums that have the ability to tag posts as questions or discussions nowadays." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There are also some FAQs (like the famous and repeatable asked how-to-place-my-figure-here question) which need to be linked to the appropriate existing question. Sometimes I have issues finding the related question quickly even if I already linked to it a couple of times before.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I thought it would be good to have a collection of such often references questions sorted after topic in a meta post similar to our create [Text building blocks](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/430).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions should be listed after topic. Every topic as CW answer to this post.&#xD;&#xA;Please use the following format:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ## Topic Headline at Start of Answer Post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * [question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;) [2 spaces] [linebreak]&#xD;&#xA;     ``[question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;)``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This way the question is provided as link (for quick access from this page) as well as markdown code suitable for comments (and as in-line link in a chat message). The URL can be received by using the `link` link below a question. There is also an [stackapps app](http://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](http://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format. The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`. The first order headlines are a little to large IMHO.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Few available tools (`ottobib`, `Mendeley`, `Refworks`, `zotero`) may help but it looks to me that they are still limited in terms of providing exact reference information. For instance, it is sometimes hard to chose among `@book`, `@inbook`, `@incollection`, `@collection` and available databases are decently vague on this. Also, first names of authors, annotators, translators is most always missing. What I am thinking of (it may exist already) is then a social network oriented database mainly in a bibtex sense that could be modified, updated and discussed by users in a way similar to what happens on this `http://tex.stackexchange.com` site where users may correct other users' messages.

If you have a similar question which is not answered here, please post it as a fresh one using the &quot;Ask Question&quot; link above. [Follow-up questions](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2117) like this are more than welcome!

We want to keep the answer space reserved for actual answers, so this non-answer will be removed from public view soon.&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ###Code blocks and inline code&#xD;&#xA;    A tip: If you [indent lines by 4 spaces](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1192) or [enclose words in backticks `\``](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/863), they'll be marked as code, as can be seen in my edit.

As new user without image posting privileges simply include the image as normal and remove the `!` in front of it to turn it into a link. A moderator or another user with edit privileges can then reinsert the `!` to turn it into an image again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ###Migrated Question&#xD;&#xA;    Your question was migrated here from another stackexchange site.

We schedule a time with the interviewee and everybody is invited to join the TeXtalk chatroom and submit questions. It's a very friendly conversation!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How is the next interviewee chosen?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we think it's time to have another interview (usually twice a month), we ask our interview committee to suggest names. This committee is composed of our [regular chatroom residents](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41). Once we reach a consensus, Paulo is in charge of making the official invitation. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Available interviews&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Currently, the following members were interviewed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [egreg](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-egreg)&#xD;&#xA; - [lockstep](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-lockstep)&#xD;&#xA; - [Martin Scharrer](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-martin-scharrer)&#xD;&#xA; - [Werner](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-werner)&#xD;&#xA; - [Jake](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-jake)&#xD;&#xA; - [Yiannis Lazarides](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-yiannis-lazarides)&#xD;&#xA; - [Patrick Gundlach](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-patrick-gundlach)&#xD;&#xA; - [Gonzalo Medina](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-gonzalo-medina)&#xD;&#xA; - [David Carlisle](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-david-carlisle)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lion&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The lion used in the TeXtalk logo is (poorly) drawn by Paulo as an homage to the TeX community.

Consequently, you can't ever vote for your own answer, but you *can* (and should) accept it if it is the answer that helped you. (See http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1852/2693 for some more discussion on accepting answers.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Second, if there are multiple answers to a question, the answer with the most upvotes is not necessarily the best answer for you as the questioner (or generally). So any system that would automatically accept high voted answers is not a good idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Third, a new answer might be added later, and even with a few votes, this answer may well be one that you would like to accept, even though it has fewer votes.

I asked here on meta how to post this, and we agreed upon [posting it as CW on meta][2]_.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First of all, very nice answer, especially that you try an automated version. I especially like the sphere. But there are some issues:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * You connect the upper and lower face of the truncated cone by a line connecting both at their 0° and 180° position (as did I in my answer, ahem, ahem). This is okay for cylinders and speep truncated cones, but not for flat ones: `\tikz   \tkzTruncatedCone{5}{0}{1};` will look like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll try to math out an automated way (probably **Andrew Stacey** can help :D, I remember a great cylinder answer)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * also, the lines are inconsistent: the upper circle is gray, the sides black, and the lower circle is half/half. This can probably be solved by first doing all the shadings and fillings, then the drawings?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * While the lower shading looks good, the upper one looks bad, it makes me think of an open tin can, not really a cylinder. I'll head for the kitchen and look for a can of beans or something to come up with a suggestion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * I both like and dislike your cuboid approach: While its a nice idea to make certain sets of sides lighter, I dont like it to be left/right. Do you plan to make this customizable, so that I can choose the colors (or opacities) for all three sets independantly?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * The upper part of the cone doesn't teally work:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think it could use some shading of sorts, but I don't know yet how.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I hope this helps, I'll let you know if I come up with something for the truncated cone edge problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/42812/3d-bodies-in-tikz/62339#62339&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2604/writing-a-list-of-issues-to-a-given-answer-with-lists-and-embedded-pictures&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/w36IG.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/tq8KT.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The other responses were well-considered meditations on policy implications by moderators current and former, and as such I don't think any better opinions can be obtained in response to this new question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;speaking only for myself, though, i think that this question is not written in the same spirit as those answers.

If perfectly good edits are going to be rejected and rolled back on a whim, then I'm discouraged from contributing any more of my time worrying about the quality of posts on this site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This ultimatum does not suit you nor us, coming from a moderator of Stack Overflow who may indeed have some say in whether this site gets its share of concern from those who run the larger network (and I don't mean its &quot;community&quot;).    &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition, I don't like the idea that a rules dispute can be *invented* by someone with sufficient pull in the administration (whether through rank or, ironically, mere reputation) and the book thrown at an individual whose contributions are not, in fact, really disorderly.  There is a parallel here with a [similar episode][1] on math.SX that saw expressed some rather coldblooded sentiments, such as &quot;do we really want this user?&quot;.  I do not want to see this kind of zero-sum outcome here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To address your specific question: only in the strictest sense is it true that all stackexchange sites have the same policy towards editing, or anything.  Each site is, by intention, self-moderated, and they all have their own minor variations in culture.  I always get culture shock going to english.SX or math.SX, and especially stackoverflow, and I personally can't abide scifi.SX despite being a fan of the subject &amp;mdash; these are not things subject to uniform rules despite the uniform expectation of good conduct.  In this case we have not been coercing one user into line over a matter of personality, and in all cases the network doesn't coerce one site into line over a matter of culture.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.math.stackexchange.com/questions/585/questions-on-signature-policy-and-interface-issue" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I learned a lot from your answers. It's an honour to have a SO fellow user here. Make yourself at home, I really hope you enjoy this community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please, don't take my next lines personal. It's just some humble thoughts about the way I see this specific situation. And I'd like to share them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMHO TeX.sx behaves quite differently from other SO sites. We don't have for example the incoming traffic that StackOverflow has, neither too much offtopic questions. Jeff Attwood once said that no one would come here by accident, since this community is highly specific and technical. Since the traffic is slow, we can better deal with everything, say, a flagged post, a &quot;poor&quot; answer, an offtopic thread, and so on. I think that this community is very friendly, that is, everybody is really eager to help, to make knowledge better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A quick overview to spot the difference: the first `101k` rep user in SO has downvoted 857 posts; our `101k` user has downvoted only 13.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since every site is community-driven, we try to adapt things to our reality and not the other way around. Our methods would probably not work in other sites, say Math.SX or Spanish.SX. Sometimes, when I hear the words &quot;SE policy&quot; said in the wild, the walking hammers from *The Wall* come to my mind. Don't get this wrong, but I feel it sounds like an imposition: *share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.* I prefer to look at the SE policy as an inspiration for communities to work with a predefined set of suggestions and, as time goes by, work on their own methods, adapted to their own reality.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, back to the editing question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMHO your suggestions were valid - even Joseph mentioned he edited some questions in the same line in the past. But, at the risk of sounding unfair, I think the ultimate final decision lies with the author. Even though I think posts should be made clear - a nice formatting or proper spelling - I think we need to respect the author's decision on keeping things as they are.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I see the SE network as an awesome Q&amp;A knowledge base, a new tendency. But I fear that people misunderstand the real concept and see threads as collaborative wiki. If it's a wiki, everything is fine, because you are collaboratively editing stuff. The Q&amp;A model is based on people asking and answering questions. The site footer gives us a hint:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; user contributions licensed under [cc-wiki](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/) with [attribution required](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/06/attribution-required/)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If we take a closer look on these links, we find the following statement:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Attribution - You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we edit things from other users, we are signing a risky contract: we are somehow influencing the author's contribution - for better or for worse. But note that it's up to the author to decide if the modifications to his/her answer should really take place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, one might say that some modifications are towards improving spelling and grammar. Again, I think they are valid, but we can't impose these changes if the user explicitly rejects it. A silly example: we Brazilians are fond of commas - don't quote me on that. Portuguese usually has way longer sentences than their English counterparts, so we use a lot of commas. Sometimes, when I write in English - my poor English - I tend to add commas as my heart desires. Everybody can go and edit my posts - &quot;The number of commas is too damn high!&quot;. Let's say I want to fight for my commas, so I rollback the edits. Am I wrong for rolling back a post to a previous state? I don't think so, even if the reasons for the edit are valid. The rollback feature exists for a reason, and I think the author has the right to take whatever decision on his/her own answers, no matter if there are valid arguments to support the edits.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The same line of thought is for deleted answers. Spoiler alert: 10k+ users can see deleted answers. Let's say I have a very nice answer with 10+ upvotes, and for some reason, I decide to delete it. Someone might say, &quot;the answer is very good, let's undelete it for a greater good&quot;. Even if the reason is noble, I still think it's the author decision. It's a pretty &quot;aggressive&quot; way of trying to make things better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, I believe your edits were very good, but it's up to the author to decide if the changes should take effect. I really enjoy reading Barbara's answers, and I always learn from her TeX expertise, besides of course the proper spelling and grammar. People that already know her style rollback edits just to antecipate the inevitable - she'd rollback the question anyway. `:)` And she has the right to do it, after all, it's her contribution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we edit posts, we make sure to leave a note to the author of what we did - we already have a set of predefined [text building blocks](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/430/text-building-blocks). It's a way to establish a good relationship with our fellow users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Don't take the rejected edits too seriously. Barbara is a great person - I really hope to meet her in person someday in a TUG conference and lure her to sign my TeXbook `:)` - and the lowercases are there for a reason. And I must confess, seeing one of Barbara's answer with the proper capitalization gives me shivers, &quot;Jesus Christ, the AMS has spoken!&quot; `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, I hope you consider rejoining this community in the future. `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I also wondered about this *weird* rollback and asked it on the chat and it was explained to me quickly. The reason is well-known if you are familiar with the people on TUG and previous interviews about them. Also you can find it in the about box of barbarabeeton&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;NOTE: answers to questions will be posted in lowercase unless i am answering in an official capacity for my employer. The reasons are given in the last item in an interview on the TeX Users Group web site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, the problem is whether barbarabeeton is entitled to impose her own style over the house style of SX. Well, on other sites the answer seems to be a definitive no, however, TeX.SX has a really fun equilibrium point which is the main reason I hang out here. There is a big space for improvisation and other eccentricities unless it clearly goes against the site rules. ( I still think it's a little odd to have a policy too but still no damage is done by doing so. )&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We tend to show a lot of respect to other users, this includes Bill the Lizard no matter of rep points level etc., but we have also a great way of negotiating the actions. Any user can come to the chat room and criticize, question or even vent the frustration as happened previously many times. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, it might seem a little unjust to have one user to get away with their own style but it's really really not the case. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that, there is a related but not connected issue which is the correction of LaTeX and friends' names, TikZ etc. capitalization.

If the most helpful answer is one's own answer, then it should be accepted.  Answering (and accepting answers for) own questions doesn't gain any reputation.  Nevertheless, the site improves because accepted answers are a sign that answers were helpful (at least for someone).  Therefore, answering own questions and accepting them is explicitly encouraged.  In contrast, the attitude against accepting own answers, contradicts, in a way, the spirit of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Keep in mind that** one:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - cannot upvote own questions&#xD;&#xA; - cannot vote for own answers&#xD;&#xA; - has to wait some time before allowed to accept own answers (this is to give others the chance to write better answers and to keep people from gaming the system)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - can (and should) accept own answers that helped&#xD;&#xA; - won't get any +rep from accepting own answers&#xD;&#xA; - might, however, get the self-learner badge&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Detailed argumentation:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Implementing the suggested mechanism is probably not a good idea (not to mention it is unlikely to ever be implemented by the Stackexchange powers that be).  **First,** as mentioned in the comments, accepting an answer is not the same as upvoting an answer, so when one accepts an answer (even his/her own) no vote is conferred.  **Second,** if there are multiple answers to a question, the answer with the most upvotes is not necessarily the best answer for the questioner (or generally).  **Third,** a new answer might be added later, and even with a few votes, this answer may well be one that the questioner would like to accept, even though it has fewer votes.  **Consequently,** having any kind of automatic system that would automatically accept high voted answers, is not a good idea as it would interfere with the above mentioned points.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See [How do you accept an answer?][3] for some more discussion on accepting answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/2693/alan-munn&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1852/2693" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is not necessary for the solution.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## For moderators ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `Just a note to confirm _X_'s comment, this ought to be reposted as a question for you to get the best chance of it being answered.

There are also some FAQs (like the famous and repeatable asked how-to-place-my-figure-here question) which need to be linked to the appropriate existing question. Sometimes I have issues finding the related question quickly even if I already linked to it a couple of times before.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I thought it would be good to have a collection of such often references questions sorted after topic in a meta post similar to our create [Text building blocks](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/430).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions should be listed after topic. Every topic as CW answer to this post.&#xD;&#xA;Please use the following format:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ## Topic Headline at Start of Answer Post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * [question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;) [2 spaces] [linebreak]&#xD;&#xA;     ``[question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;)``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This way the question is provided as link (for quick access from this page) as well as markdown code suitable for comments (and as in-line link in a chat message). The URL can be received by using the `link` link below a question. There is also an [stackapps app](http://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](http://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format. The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`. The first order headlines are a little to large IMHO.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I asked here on meta how to post this, and we agreed upon [posting it as CW on meta][2]_.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First of all, very nice answer, especially that you try an automated version. I especially like the sphere. But there are some issues:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * You connect the upper and lower face of the truncated cone by a line connecting both at their 0° and 180° position (as did I in my answer, ahem, ahem). This is okay for cylinders and speep truncated cones, but not for flat ones: `\tikz   \tkzTruncatedCone{5}{0}{1};` will look like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll try to math out an automated way (probably **Andrew Stacey** can help :D, I remember a great cylinder answer)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * &lt;STRIKE&gt;also, the lines are inconsistent: the upper circle is gray, the sides black, and the lower circle is half/half.&lt;/STRIKE&gt; This can be solved by first doing all the shadings and fillings, then the drawings.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * &lt;STRIKE&gt;While the lower shading looks good, the upper one looks bad, it makes me think of an open tin can, not really a cylinder. I'll head for the kitchen and look for a can of beans or something to come up with a suggestion.&lt;/STRIKE&gt; Giving the top a lighter shading does the trick, something like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * &lt;STRIKE&gt;I both like and dislike your cuboid approach: While its a nice idea to make certain sets of sides lighter, I dont like it to be left/right. Do you plan to make this customizable, so that I can choose the colors (or opacities) for all three sets independantly?&lt;/STRIKE&gt; I did it, looks like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * &lt;STRIKE&gt;The upper part of the cone doesn't teally work:&lt;/STRIKE&gt; It can be improved by a left-to-right shading:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][6]&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;STRIKE&gt;I think it could use some shading of sorts, but I don't know yet how.&lt;/STRIKE&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I hope this helps, I'll let you know if I come up with something for the truncated cone edge problem.

This question is effectively a kind of &quot;big list&quot; question, and the summary doesn't really do much other than just say what's in the other answers.

The discussion in the linked question is obviously helpful in deciding these cases.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="![TeXtalk](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/files/2012/02/textalk2.png)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Introduction&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As part of the celebrations of our first birthday, we decided to interview great members of our community. Since we received a very positive feedback from our beloved users, the **TeXtalk** became a regular event in our community blog.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our interviews are also indexed in the [TUG's Interview Corner](http://www.tug.org/interviews/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How it works?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's quite simple, actually. `:)` We have a [dedicated chatroom for interviewing our members](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728). We schedule a time with the interviewee and everybody is invited to join the TeXtalk chatroom and submit questions. It's a very friendly conversation!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How is the next interviewee chosen?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we think it's time to have another interview (usually twice a month), we ask our interview committee to suggest names. This committee is composed of our [regular chatroom residents](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41). Once we reach a consensus, Paulo is in charge of making the official invitation. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Available interviews&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Currently, the following members were interviewed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [egreg](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-egreg)&#xD;&#xA; - [lockstep](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-lockstep)&#xD;&#xA; - [Martin Scharrer](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-martin-scharrer)&#xD;&#xA; - [Werner](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-werner)&#xD;&#xA; - [Jake](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-jake)&#xD;&#xA; - [Yiannis Lazarides](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-yiannis-lazarides)&#xD;&#xA; - [Patrick Gundlach](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-patrick-gundlach)&#xD;&#xA; - [Gonzalo Medina](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-gonzalo-medina)&#xD;&#xA; - [David Carlisle](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-david-carlisle)&#xD;&#xA; - [Andrew Stacey](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-andrew-stacey)&#xD;&#xA; - [PLK](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-plk)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lion&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The lion used in the TeXtalk logo is (poorly) drawn by Paulo as an homage to the TeX community. From now on, we have a thematic logo. The lion's wardrobe might have something related with the interviewee. Can you spot the theme? `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The interview&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In short, everybody which is a TeX.sx member can be interviewed. The only recommendation we kindly ask is to provide the (real) name for the index process in the TUG's Interview Corner.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# I want to suggest a name&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Easy, go to [our TeX, LaTeX and Friends chatroom](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41) and write down your suggestions. `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I think that it would be useful to have a list of these people, ordered (in some fashion) by package.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My reasoning is twofold.  Firstly, if one of these people answers a question on &quot;their&quot; package, I would hold that answer in higher regard than if Jo User answers it and would be willing to place more confidence in it[1].  Secondly, if a question turns up that is about that package then it might be useful to know who to nudge about it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I most emphatically would not want is that regular people (such as myself) stop answering questions on packages where the maintainer is present - that would be counterproductive - so if people feel that that would happen, please vote to close and delete this!  But if people are willing to try, we could have a single CW answer to this question where people can list the packages that they are connected to (and it should be that people only answer for themselves, not for others).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1] For example, if someone on MathOverflow asked about _Tall-Wraith monoids_, I would hope that they would rate an answer by me just a _little_ higher than from almost anyone else.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(This question is - rightly - CW and has now been edited so much that the original author is not immediately obvious.  As it was written in the first person and contains opinions, I thought it best to make it clear that the original author was [Andrew Stacey](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/86/andrew-stacey).)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In particular I am concerned about tagging questions where the original poster had not thought about the `mtpro` package. (Actually I made a similar mistake myself and [was corrected by egreg](http://tex.stackexchange.com/posts/65599/revisions))&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I looked for a guideline and it seems this has come up before in http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/577/adding-tags-to-a-question-in-accordance-with-a-provided-answer. According to the suggestion there I removed some of the tags, where the question doesn't meantion `mtpro`. Nevertheless there are still some where I'm unsure of what to do, as Mico's answers there, using `mtpro`, are the (as good as) accepted ones:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/63545/big-tilde-in-math-mode&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/39181/big-integral-sign&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/59702/suggest-a-nice-font-family-for-my-basic-latex-template-text-and-math-i-am&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Because of this and the fact, that many currently active users where not on TeX.SX back then, I'm asking for a suggestion on how to handle such cases."

It seems to me that almost all users of Debian-derived OSes have two options when it comes to installing LaTeX packages: (1) using the native sources (including the recent [backport](http://askubuntu.com/q/163682/31420) in the case of Ubuntu 12.04 [or [here](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/58779/8528)]); or (2) installing TL from CTAN.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There seem to be several questions (e.g., [here](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/32962/8528), [here](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/38978/8528), [here](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/39771/8528), [here](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/40083/8528), [here](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/56900/8528)) , however, that ask how to install some package for Ubuntu users, and they all end up making the same two points: use option (1) or (2).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, wouldn't it be useful to 'centralize' all these questions and make one big, general one that lays out these two options and their respective benefits (although not many people favour [1])?  Then all these other questions could be closed with a link to the more general question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For what it's worth, [this question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/28528/8528) might serve as the general question, and then we could close everything else.  (Although I have no idea if we can/should close old questions with accepted answers....)  However, it seems to me that a question with more unbiased answers would be better: i.e., instead of saying, 'don't do (1), do (2)', each answer lays out one option and all its benefits and drawbacks."

Text="![TeXtalk](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/files/2012/02/textalk2.png)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Introduction&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As part of the celebrations of our first birthday, we decided to interview great members of our community. Since we received a very positive feedback from our beloved users, the **TeXtalk** became a regular event in our community blog.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our interviews are also indexed in the [TUG's Interview Corner](http://www.tug.org/interviews/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How it works?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's quite simple, actually. `:)` We have a [dedicated chatroom for interviewing our members](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728). We schedule a time with the interviewee and everybody is invited to join the TeXtalk chatroom and submit questions. It's a very friendly conversation!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# I missed the interview! What do I do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not despair, post-interview questions and remarks are welcome! `:)` We usually wait a couple of days to then &quot;lock&quot; the interview. We want to give the opportunity to our members to read the chatroom transcript and add their own remarks or even submitting questions to the interviewee. The format is working marvelously so far. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have a team of reviewers that put every bit of the interview in the correct order, so we can easily adjust the comments. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How is the next interviewee chosen?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we think it's time to have another interview (usually twice a month), we ask our interview committee to suggest names. This committee is composed of our [regular chatroom residents](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41). Once we reach a consensus, Paulo is in charge of making the official invitation. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Available interviews&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Legend:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ![Chatroom Bookmark][1] *Chatroom bookmark*&#xD;&#xA;- ![Blog post][2] *Blog post*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Currently, the following members were interviewed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][3]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-egreg) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/11/textalk-an-interview-with-egreg/) [egreg](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4427/egreg)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][4]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-lockstep) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/11/textalk-an-interview-with-lockstep/) [lockstep](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/510/lockstep)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][5]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-martin-scharrer) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/12/textalk-an-interview-with-martin-scharrer/) [Martin Scharrer](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][6]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-werner) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/01/textalk-an-interview-with-werner/) [Werner](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/5764/werner)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][7]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-jake) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/02/textalk-an-interview-with-jake/) [Jake](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2552/jake)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][8]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-yiannis-lazarides) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/02/textalk-an-interview-with-yiannis-lazarides/) [Yiannis Lazarides](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/963/yiannis-lazarides)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][9]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-patrick-gundlach) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/03/textalk-an-interview-with-patrick-gundlach/) [Patrick Gundlach](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/243/patrick-gundlach)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][10]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-gonzalo-medina) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/03/textalk-an-interview-with-gonzalo-medina/) [Gonzalo Medina](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/3954/gonzalo-medina)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][11]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-david-carlisle) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/04/textalk-an-interview-with-david-carlisle/) [David Carlisle](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/1090/david-carlisle)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][12]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-andrew-stacey) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/06/textalk-an-interview-with-andrew-stacey/) [Andrew Stacey](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/86/andrew-stacey)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][13]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-plk) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/08/textalk-an-interview-with-plk/) [PLK](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/1657/plk)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][14]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-aditya) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/08/textalk-an-interview-with-aditya/) [Aditya](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/323/aditya)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lion&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The lion used in the TeXtalk logo is (poorly) drawn by Paulo as an homage to the TeX community.

However, the amount of explanation is varied (as you noticed). For example, some people like an answer structured in the form:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; *Minimal* explanation...  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; `some code`  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; *Broader* explanation...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;while others tend to enjoy&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; *Broad* explanation...  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; `some code`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The former is intended to suit a broad audience (experienced and inexperienced), since the solution is provided without having to wade through &quot;tedious&quot; explanations and reasoning, while still adding value *post mortem*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think your best bet as a questioner is to post a comment to the answered requesting more information. Ultimately *you* decide where to place your vote (an indication as to the &quot;usefulness&quot; of the answer) and/or select the &quot;most useful&quot; answer. These selections/decision, of course, bestow reputation as a reward. If it isn't useful, then don't vote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alternatives could include opening up a chat room and create a discussion around the solution so you can understand it better. This is typically done in the the [general chat room](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41) since most regulars hang out there and would be willing to help. Or, perhaps as a last resort, ask a [follow-up question](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2117/5764) about the specifics of the solution. However, make sure that you're not just asking for an explanation, because that is best left as an addition to existing answers, in my opinion. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Perhaps some answer(er)s require incentive in order to provide detail. I guess a bounty could be issued for that, usually also garnering more answers from other experienced users. But, posters on this site are usually easy to provide more detail from a comment making this not really necessary." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As such, it works in part like the older sidebar, picking up 'active' meta topics automatically so that they get shown to people who don't visit meta very often. At the same time, the moderators can add a [meta-tag:featured] tag to meta questions, which will 'promote' them in the Bulletin.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Bulletin can also be used to promote 'Community Events'. We use this for the 'Answer the Unanswered' sessions and for the chat-based interviews. These events can only be added to the Bulletin by one of the moderators: they don't have to be linked to chat sessions, but that is how we've used that to date. The idea here is that the Bulletin is less intrusive than the banner that mods can add for 'system messages', and also the Bulletin works better for a longer promotion period.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As Andrew Stacey points out, the Bulletin also picks up new blog posts from the [TeX-sx blog](http://tex.blogoverflow.com), and they show up for 7 days.

The question was [TeX Live — problem with install \[Ubuntu, bash\]; new packages][1]. I realized now from reading the links provided in the question that the questions are very much alike and are actually duplicates of each other if not for asking about specific packages. There seems to be two general considerations when faced with the questions: 1) Vote to close the question for possible duplication, and 2) answer the question or provide links in comments to previous posts in order to encourage the user to have greater future participation in TeX.SX (since it looks like most of the posts were done at the time when the OP is relatively new to TeX.SX). Maybe one way to go about it nicely is to comment that some posts have already been written which closely resemble the problem and post an encouragement to post more questions in the future and post a link to some guidelines when posting a question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/66855/tex-live-problem-with-install-ubuntu-bash-new-packages/68883#68883" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

CW for easy editing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Question&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I need to install a new TeX/LaTeX/ConTeXt package on my computer.  I'm running Ubuntu/Fedora/Slackware Linux.  What are the possible ways to do this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Answer&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Method 1:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Find and install the package through your package manager.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*This is for if you are using the version of TeX that came with your distribution and you don't mind particularly which version of the package you install.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Linux distributions tend to include TeX as a collection of packages, but it isn't usually on as fine a level as one TeX package equals one Linux package.  You therefore need to find the right distribution package containing the TeX package that you want and install it.  Different package managers have different methods of searching, if all else fails there is often a website where you can search for a specific file[1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1] *Note* I know this is true for Ubuntu, is it true for the others?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Method 2&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Install the latest TeXLive**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*This is for if the package is in TeXLive and you want to or are using TeXLive for TeX*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you haven't yet installed TeXLive, follow the instructions `&lt;at this link&gt;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To install a package via TeXLive, first try `tlmgr install &lt;package&gt;` (if you installed TeXLive as root you will need to do `sudo tlmgr install &lt;package&gt;` from an administrator account).  If it isn't in TeXLive, you will need to choose a different method.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Method 3&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Install manually**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In this situation, you have two options: to install globally or to install locally.  Globally means that any user on your system will be able to use it, locally means not.  The difference between the two is the base location:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Globally: type `kpsewhich &lt;whatever&gt;` to find the right directory&#xD;&#xA;* Locally: type `kpsewhich &lt;whatever&gt;` to find the right directory&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What happens now depends a bit on the package.  If it is distributed in TDS then you are in luck.  Go to the directory reported by `kpsewhich`, and into the `tex` subdirectory.  Then extract the TDS file (remember to use `sudo` if globally, and check that your `umask` is set to `022`).  *Note check the TDS file first to ensure that it will extract into the right place: you may need to move up or down a directory to get it to match*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If it is not distributed in TDS, then there might be instructions - in which case follow them - but the general pattern is pretty similar.  If it is a LaTeX package, create a directory in `&lt;base dir&gt;/tex/latex` for it and extract the files there.  Documentation files go in `&lt;base dir&gt;/doc/latex`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you installed it globally, now run `mktexlsr` (or `texhash`) to update the database.

You therefore need to find the right distribution package containing the TeX package that you want and install it.  Different package managers have different methods of searching, if all else fails there is often a website where you can search for a specific file[1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1] *Note* I know this is true for Ubuntu, is it true for the others?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Method 2&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Install the latest TeX Live**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*This is for if the package is in TeX Live and you want to or are using 'vanilla' TeXLive (see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1092/how-to-install-vanilla-texlive-on-debian-or-ubuntu).*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you haven't yet installed TeX Live, follow the instructions `&lt;at this link&gt;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To install a package via TeX Live, first try `tlmgr install &lt;package&gt;` (if you installed TeX Live as root you will need to do `sudo tlmgr install &lt;package&gt;` from an administrator account).  If it isn't in TeX Live, you will need to choose a different method.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Method 3&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Install manually**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In this situation, you have two options: to install globally (all users on your system) or to install locally.  Globally means that any user on your system will be able to use it, locally means not: it will only be installed for your account.  The difference between the two is the base location:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Globally: type `kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL` in the Terminal to find the right directory&#xD;&#xA;* Locally: type `kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME` in the Terminal to find the right directory&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What happens now depends a bit on the package.  If it is distributed in TDS then you are in luck.  Go to the directory reported by `kpsewhich`, and into the `tex` subdirectory (or create it if it does not exist).  Then extract the TDS file (remember to use `sudo` if globally, and check that your `umask` is set to `022`).  *Note check the TDS file first to ensure that it will extract into the right place: you may need to move up or down a directory to get it to match*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If it is not distributed in TDS, then there might be instructions - in which case follow them - but the general pattern is pretty similar.  If it is a LaTeX package, create a directory in `&lt;base dir&gt;/tex/latex/&lt;package name&gt;` for it and extract the files (`.sty` plus perhaps `.cls`, _etc._) there.  Documentation files go in `&lt;base dir&gt;/doc/latex/&lt;package name&gt;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you installed it globally, now run `sudo mktexlsr` (or `sudo texhash`) to update the database.

For example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [What is the most recent post the data explorer has?](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/8800/what-is-the-most-recent-post-the-data-explorer-has)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [How many edits until Copy Editor (proper)?](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/56748/how-many-edits-until-copy-editor-proper)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [Epic/Legendary Badges](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/32763/epic-legendary-badges)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [On what days did I hit the reputation cap?](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/3834/on-what-days-did-i-hit-the-reputation-cap)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [How long until I get the pundit badge?](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/10098/how-long-until-i-get-the-pundit-badge)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [Generalist Progression #updated](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/35591/generalist-progression-updated)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [Users statistics (individual user)](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/13294/users-statistics-individual-user)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [What is my Archaeologist badge progress?](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/69607/what-is-my-archaeologist-badge-progress)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In particular, scroll through and check out the [list of favoured queries](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/queries?order_by=favorite).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/BId30.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/q9fiO.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ekqLN.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Also apologies for any horrible translations. Please improve and add translations.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Seriously though, without proper software support, multilingual posts add a lot of clutter to the site. The SE approach partially works because they distilled Q&amp;A down to the essentials, so that information is easy to find. Doubling (tripling, ...) post length makes it a lot harder to find what one is looking for and will also make it less likely that someone reads the question/answer." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So if you show what you have so far, you'll stand a greater chance of getting help.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Let's polish this up (or throw it out and write a new one) and add it to our building blocks.

Avoid discretional rules when possible.&#xD;&#xA; - No. The OP should always comment on the issue before closing.

Feel free to edit: set as CW to make that easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Question&#xD;&#xA;========&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Title**: *Conversion/recover of .tex source from PDF file*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is there a method to convert a PDF file into a `.tex` file? Does it depend on whether the file was original created using LaTeX or if additional files (such as `.aux`, `.log` or  `.bbl` are available)? If I am recovering from a computer problem, as opposed to converting a PDF I've been given by someone else, does this make a difference?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Answer&#xD;&#xA;======&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the most general terms, conversion of a PDF into a (La)TeX file that would have generated it is not possible in an automated way. There is no 'special' information added to a PDF by LaTeX which would allow this process. As such, converting a PDF from an unknown source is very much the same as converting a PDF you know was generate by LaTeX: not that easy!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Tools**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[TO DO: HELP PLEASE!]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Secondary files**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is possible that when trying to 'recover' a file you know was generate by LaTeX that you have various secondary files available. The nature of many of these files is discussed in http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/7770/file-extensions-of-latex-related-files. Broadly, these are of limited help in converting a PDF into a `.tex` file. At best, they contain partial information about some aspect of the original source, but none will contain large pieces of the original file (unless the case is very unusual). Probably the most common secondary files are `.aux`, `.bbl`, `.blg` and `.log`:&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;  - The `.log` and `.blg` files are logs: they tell us what happened in the LaTeX and BibTeX runs, respectively. That will be useful in working out which packages were used in the .tex file, but that alone does not get us very far (no custom settings or actual input).&#xD;&#xA;   - The `.bbl` file may help with the bibliography part of the document. If you did not using `biblatex` then the .bbl file is a formatted bibliography, but if you used `biblatex` then it's not. Moreover, it does not help with the citations that link to the bibliography, and most of the time the bibliography will be a relatively small part of the entire document.&#xD;&#xA;    - The `.aux` file tells us about information transferred between LaTeX runs, so for example labels used in the `.tex` file, but not where they might have been cross-referenced, _etc_.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you'll see, the amount of information in the various additional files is at best quite limited, and in most real documents will form only a small part of what's needed to reconstruct the `.tex` source.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Disaster recovery**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Recovering data following computer issues is broadly 'off-topic' for TeX-sx, but some general pointers can be given. If you suspect you have deleted your `.tex` source and it is not in the 'Recycle Bin' or similar, you should proceed very cautiously. It is usually best to use a separate machine to look for advice, and not to create any new files (for example by downloading recovery tools) onto the disk which contained the lost file(s). It then _may_ be possible to recover your source without 'reconstruction'. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Notes**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is possible to attach `.tex` source to a PDF  so hat everything is available 'in one go'. However, this has to be done when the PDF is created, so does not help with conversion of an arbitrary PDF file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As such, converting a PDF from an unknown source is very much the same as converting a PDF you know was generate by LaTeX: not that easy!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Tools**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[TO DO: HELP PLEASE!]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Secondary files**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is possible that when trying to 'recover' a file you know was generate by LaTeX that you have various secondary files available. The nature of many of these files is discussed in http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/7770/file-extensions-of-latex-related-files. Broadly, these are of limited help in converting a PDF into a `.tex` file. At best, they contain partial information about some aspect of the original source, but none will contain large pieces of the original file (unless the case is very unusual). Probably the most common secondary files are `.aux`, `.bbl`, `.blg` and `.log`:&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;  - The `.log` and `.blg` files are logs: they tell us what happened in the LaTeX and BibTeX runs, respectively. That will be useful in working out which packages were used in the .tex file, but that alone does not get us very far (no custom settings or actual input).&#xD;&#xA;  - The `.bbl` file may help with the bibliography part of the document. If you did not using `biblatex` then the .bbl file is a formatted bibliography, but if you used `biblatex` then it's not. Moreover, it does not help with the citations that link to the bibliography, and most of the time the bibliography will be a relatively small part of the entire document.&#xD;&#xA;  - The `.aux` file tells us about information transferred between LaTeX runs, so for example labels used in the `.tex` file, but not where they might have been cross-referenced, _etc_.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you'll see, the amount of information in the various additional files is at best quite limited, and in most real documents will form only a small part of what's needed to reconstruct the `.tex` source.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Disaster recovery**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Recovering data following computer issues is broadly 'off-topic' for TeX-sx, but some general pointers can be given. If you suspect you have deleted your `.tex` source and it is not in the 'Recycle Bin' or similar, you should proceed very cautiously. It is usually best to use a separate machine to look for advice, and not to create any new files (for example by downloading recovery tools) onto the disk which contained the lost file(s). It then _may_ be possible to recover your source without 'reconstruction'. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Notes**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is possible to attach `.tex` source to a PDF so that everything is available 'in one go'. However, this has to be done when the PDF is created, so does not help with conversion of an arbitrary PDF file.

If the most helpful answer is one's own answer, then it should be accepted.  Answering (and accepting answers for) own questions doesn't gain any reputation.  Nevertheless, the site improves because accepted answers are a sign that answers were helpful (at least for someone).  Therefore, answering own questions and accepting them is explicitly encouraged.  In contrast, the attitude against accepting own answers, contradicts, in a way, the spirit of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Keep in mind that** one:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - cannot upvote own questions&#xD;&#xA; - cannot vote for own answers&#xD;&#xA; - has to wait some time before allowed to accept own answers (this is to give others the chance to write better answers and to keep people from gaming the system, see also [Accept Your Own Answers](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/01/accept-your-own-answers/) at SE blog)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - can (and should) accept own answers that helped&#xD;&#xA; - won't get any +rep from accepting own answers&#xD;&#xA; - might, however, get the self-learner badge&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Detailed argumentation:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Implementing the suggested mechanism is probably not a good idea (not to mention it is unlikely to ever be implemented by the Stackexchange powers that be).  **First,** as mentioned in the comments, accepting an answer is not the same as upvoting an answer, so when one accepts an answer (even his/her own) no vote is conferred.  **Second,** if there are multiple answers to a question, the answer with the most upvotes is not necessarily the best answer for the questioner (or generally).  **Third,** a new answer might be added later, and even with a few votes, this answer may well be one that the questioner would like to accept, even though it has fewer votes.  **Consequently,** having any kind of automatic system that would automatically accept high voted answers, is not a good idea as it would interfere with the above mentioned points.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See [How do you accept an answer?][3] for some more discussion on accepting answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/2693/alan-munn&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1852/2693" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Feel free to edit: set as CW to make that easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Question&#xD;&#xA;========&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Title**: *Conversion/recover of `.tex` source from PDF file*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is there a method to convert a PDF file into a `.tex` file? Does it depend on whether the file was original created using LaTeX or if additional files (such as `.aux`, `.log` or  `.bbl` are available)? If I am recovering from a computer problem, as opposed to converting a PDF I've been given by someone else, does this make a difference?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Answer&#xD;&#xA;======&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the most general terms, conversion of a PDF into a (La)TeX file that would have generated it is not possible in an automated way. There is no 'special' information added to a PDF by LaTeX which would allow this process.

If you did not using `biblatex` then the .bbl file is a formatted bibliography, but if you used `biblatex` then it's not. Moreover, it does not help with the citations that link to the bibliography, and most of the time the bibliography will be a relatively small part of the entire document.&#xD;&#xA;  - The `.aux` file tells us about information transferred between LaTeX runs, so for example labels used in the `.tex` file, but not where they might have been cross-referenced, _etc_.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you'll see, the amount of information in the various additional files is at best quite limited, and in most real documents will form only a small part of what's needed to reconstruct the `.tex` source.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Disaster recovery**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Recovering data following computer issues is broadly 'off-topic' for TeX-sx, but some general pointers can be given.

The question is asking how to get the number of current itemization in a margin. In ConTeXt, itemizations are equivalent to the **itemize** as well as **enumerate** environments in LaTeX. So, the relevant tags are: `lists`, `enumerate`, and `itemize`. This is what each of these tags say:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* `lists`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &gt; {lists} is about list environments. If your question deals with a specific list environment, add the respective tag, if existing, such as {itemize}, {enumerate}, or {description}. A popular package is {enumitem}. For registers like a &quot;List of figures&quot;, use {table-of-contents} instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* `itemize`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &gt; {itemize} is about the itemize list environment. If you use this tag, add the more general {lists} tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* `enumerate`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &gt; {enumerate} is about the enumerate list environment. If you use this tag, add the more general {lists} tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The wording of these tags is not tied to the desired visual output, rather to the LaTeX environment that implements them. The corresponding ConTeXt environments are `itemgroups`, `itemize`, and `itemize`. Because of the way they are worded, none of the LaTeX specific tags fit the question. In fact, some of them may be  confusing because, in ConTeXt, `lists` are used for structures like table of contents, list of figures, etc; and `enumeration` is used for structures like Theorems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What is the best way out of this? I understand that more than 95% of the questions on this forum are LaTeX related, so having LaTeX specific tags makes sense. However, at the same time, there are a few ConTeXt and plain-TeX specific questions as well; the LaTeX specific tags do not fit for the ConTeXt questions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One option is to create new tags for ConTeXt specific tags for everything and the other option is to reword a lot of the tags so that they describe the behavior and not the name of the environments that implement them. None of them completely solve the question of similar terms (like `lists` and `enumerations`) used to mean completely different constructs in LaTeX and ConTeXt (should we create `latex-lists` and `context-lists` to avoid confusion?)."

There are quite a few TeXnicCenter tutorials available on different websites and blogs, many of them using outdated versions of TeXnicCenter and Adobe Acrobat. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What is hard is to guess all the possible problems, as the combination of TeXnicCenter, MiKTeX, pdflatex or luatex, bibtex, makeindex and Adobe Acrobat as the viewer is inherently brittle. A single misplaced &quot; or a wrong path can cause problems that are hard to detect or diagnose for a beginner. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead of anticipating the problems it might be easier to explain the steps to reach a working setup, with 'checkpoints' using a MWE. This would start by the download and installation of the current 2.0 Alpha 4 version, which is despite its name working better than the older 1.0 release candidate. Additionally just switching to a different PDF reader, e.g. Sumatra PDF, can often help as it is not locking the file and automatically reloads new versions without necessarily being told to do so by the editor. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This might be one approach to create a canonical question for TeXnicCenter, as a clean reinstallation leads in my experience to a working setup much faster than trying to diagnose specific issues."

Moreover, I doubt they will consider *not* answering *without* a thank you. &#xD;&#xA;- Do you really mean it, or is it just a habit? If you read the post again next week, next month, or even a decade from now, would you still mean it? In a similar way, when one writes &quot;I'm a newbie&quot;, it may be only relevant for a moment in time.&#xD;&#xA;- This remains a community driven site, so users with certain privileges are allowed to edit your post(s).

I might even go there and say that for me, it's almost more important to make questions applicable to a wider audience, i.e. more people with the same or a very similar problem, than helping the user who asked the question. The good thing, however, is that if you help &quot;every&quot; user out there, you'll also help the user who had the problem in the first place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So this is really an essential concept that I try to keep in mind whenever I act on tex.sx, no matter if I ask a question, answer one, or edit posts. This also is the reason why we're on a perpetual hunt for duplicate questions: All the information and help for one problem should be in one place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Coming back to your question about &quot;thanks&quot;: &quot;Personal&quot; bits like that are not really relevant for an abstract problem that aims to be maximally widely applicable.&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Some personal background for the problem, e.g. for identifying [XY-problems][3], can be useful, but it might be a good approach to separate this from the core question, like I attempted to in http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/25701/bibtex-vs-biber-and-biblatex-vs-natbib. But really, there's no general rule for that. For phrases truly irrelevant for the problem (i.e. &quot;thanks&quot;), however, it's definitely better to leave them out, even though it might feel to you like you're being rude. Rest assured that **the best form of thankfulness that you can show to our community is asking well-prepared questions with MWEs and helping with other tasks**, which you'll gradually be introduced to [as your reputation increases][4].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Nonetheless, I feel like our community has a personal feel to it, just from conversations in the comments, in chat, and our blog. Besides that, many members (if not all?) have their characteristic style of answering; two examples that come to my mind and that actually happen to be middle-range rep users are [Paulo][5], with his abundantly good-willed and duck-heavy answers, or [ガベージコレクタ][6] [_or whatever their current user name may be_], with their amazing, uncalled-for, randomly animated PSTricks answers.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [venn]: http://sstatic.net/tex/img/venn-diagram.png&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/about &quot;Venn diagram: Wiki, Digg/Reddit, Blog, Forum&quot;&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2449/what-does-xy-problem-mean&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/3094/paulo-cereda&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/19356/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I think that it would be useful to have a list of these people, ordered (in some fashion) by package.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My reasoning is twofold.  Firstly, if one of these people answers a question on &quot;their&quot; package, I would hold that answer in higher regard than if Jo User answers it and would be willing to place more confidence in it[1].  Secondly, if a question turns up that is about that package then it might be useful to know who to nudge about it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I most emphatically would not want is that regular people (such as myself) stop answering questions on packages where the maintainer is present - that would be counterproductive - so if people feel that that would happen, please vote to close and delete this!  But if people are willing to try, we could have a single CW answer to this question where people can list the packages that they are connected to (and it should be that people only answer for themselves, not for others).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1] For example, if someone on MathOverflow asked about _Tall-Wraith monoids_, I would hope that they would rate an answer by me just a _little_ higher than from almost anyone else.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(This question is - rightly - CW and has now been edited so much that the original author is not immediately obvious.  As it was written in the first person and contains opinions, I thought it best to make it clear that the original author was [Andrew Stacey](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/86/andrew-stacey).)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If that's the case, the problem is most likely off topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Although even in that case there's no completely clear dividing line. For example, many R + LaTeX questions are routinely considered on-topic here provided they are not purely R questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another problem is that it's often the case when people come to TeX via this sort of route, their questions are trivial if they read a good introduction to LaTeX, which many times they haven't.

I have the feeling that the error you reported is happening at the conversion time, `rst -&gt; &lt;format&gt;`, and not the in the `LaTeX -&gt; PDF` generation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The error message clearly points at an error in the `.rst` file:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    System Message: ERROR/3 (&lt;fullpath&gt;/AccrualsImplementor.rst, line 83)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You are right to think that either TeX or MathJaX (which implements a subset of TeX math stuff) will render your `:math:` element later on, but the parsing itself is failing, so it's not TeX fault. In this error level, it's a `.rst` syntax issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You are right in using `\_` to display a literal underscore. That's the correct way of using it, including in Sphinx. I wrote the following `.rst` sample file:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Hello! :math:`a^2 + b^2 a\_b = c^2`.&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    .. math::&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;       (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;       (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab a\_b + b^2&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then I tried to generate an HTML version:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    $ make html&#xD;&#xA;    Running Sphinx v1.1.3&#xD;&#xA;    loading pickled environment... done&#xD;&#xA;    building [html]: targets for 1 source files that are out of date&#xD;&#xA;    updating environment: 0 added, 1 changed, 0 removed&#xD;&#xA;    reading sources...

Sadly, as it is, `.rst` is not our cup of tea. `:(`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, my advice is to take a look at your `.rst`, I'm sure it's a markup problem, or even an error that happened some lines before and got propagated to the math part. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/XrcCz.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6JCcq.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

(but *not* [tag:latex], see below)&#xD;&#xA;* Package and class names, e.g.: [tag:tikz-pgf], [tag:hyperref], [tag:amsmath], ...&#xD;&#xA;* Command and environment names, e.g.: [tag:itemize], [tag:hbox], ...&#xD;&#xA;* Specific topics, e.g.: [tag:macros], [tag:fonts], [tag:graphics], [tag:errors], [tag:floats], ... *(Note: prefer plural nouns)*&#xD;&#xA;* Specific actions, e.g.: [tag:installing], [tag:compiling], [tag:debugging], [tag:citing], ... *(Note: prefer -ing verb form)*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The following math related tags are recommended:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Use [tag:math-mode] for questions about typesetting the content of math formulas.&#xD;&#xA;* Use [tag:equations] for questions about how to include equations in a document&#xD;&#xA;  (e.g. the `equation`, `gather`, `align`, etc. environments)&#xD;&#xA;* Use [tag:symbols] for queries about how to produce specific symbols. But only if&#xD;&#xA;  the [comprehensive list](http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/comprehensive.html) or the [detexify](http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html) online tool can't answer your&#xD;&#xA;    question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions such as *What is the best book to start learning LaTeX?*, where many good answers are expected and none will be the right answer, should take the [tag:big-list] tag, and should normally be marked *Community Wiki*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Discouraged tags&#xD;&#xA;----------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Meta-tags, i.e. tags about the kind of question or the person asking the question,&#xD;&#xA;  but not about the *content* or *topic* of the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Examples: [tag:subjective], [tag:beginners], [tag:best-practices].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  A special exception is made for the [tag:big-list] tag, which is a meta-tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The [tag:latex] or [tag:latex2e] tags. Questions are, by default, assumed to be about&#xD;&#xA;  the LaTeX language/system. Unless your question is *specifically* about another&#xD;&#xA;  format (e.g. [tag:context]) or *specifically* about a TeX compiler (e.g. [tag:pdftex]),&#xD;&#xA;  **you don't need to specify you're using LaTeX**. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The [tag:tex] tag. If your question is specifically about TeX primitives or the TeX&#xD;&#xA;  system (as opposed to LaTeX), **use [tag:tex-core] instead**. If your question is about&#xD;&#xA;  using low-level TeX commands to define a macro then use the [tag:macros] tag." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But plain mathematical proofs are usually *not* formal proof: they should be understandable by the reader and symbols should denote mathematical entities, not linguistic ones.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I *never* use `\forall` or `\exists` in a proof; sometimes I indulge in a `\implies` or `\iff` in a set of displayed formulas, but very sparingly and only when they convey a mathematical, rather than linguistic, meaning.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One of my first duties when converting to LaTeX some papers written by a friend and colleague was&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; find &quot;w.l.o.g.&quot; and replace it with &quot;without loss of generality&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;She knew about this and accepted it, because otherwise she'd have had to learn LaTeX. :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do a favor to your readers and use words rather than shorthand.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, in a formal proof there's no way of saying *without loss of generality*: a formal proof *must* check all possibilities.

Sphinx is, in this context, a generator of (La)TeX code. If it is generating bad code  then that is a problem with the input to the generator (or the generator itself). In this respect it should be treated the same as questions about (say) a C or perl or ... program that makes LaTeX output. The site doesn't have the resources to answer questions about arbitrary programming languages that just happen to generate LaTeX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think in the case of Sphinx the situation is slightly obscured as the math input syntax looks latex-like, however as your question showed it is not latex and there are valid latex expressions that are not accepted by the system, so I think it is best to consider it a LaTeX _generator_ and these, as a whole, are off topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at the discussion on the Stack Overflow version of the question it highlights even more why it should be off topic. It appears that the TeX back end was not being used at all so that TeX was not involved and the error messages being reported were javascript errors from the old jsmath javascript library. jsmath (and its newer replacement mathjax) are also considered off topic. They parse a very restricted subset of LaTeX syntax but render it using css (or svg) and do not use TeX at all." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. Upvoting is the preferred way here to say &quot;thank you&quot; to users who helped you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Possible duplicates ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See discussion in http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2770/closing-questions-as-exact-duplications-best-practice for notes on these messages!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - For new(ish) users whose question looks like it might get closed as a duplicate:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.sx!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) This question is very similar to [link].

If not, please edit your question here to explain why so that people can better focus their attention to help you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - On casting first dupe vote on a question where the OP has not said 'Oh yeas, it's a dupe':&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    `I've voted to close this as a duplicate because currently, the question looks very similar to [link]. Note that closing a question is not final. If you feel that this question is not a duplicate you can edit it to add more information, in which case it may be reopened.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### For questions that are likely to be closed ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `If your question is closed and you still need help, don't worry, [here you'll find help on what to do next](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1015).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Alternatively, for already closed questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `If the linked question doesn't solve your problem, please edit your question to explain why and we'll reopen it.

Many packages have been significantly improved since then. I would recommend installing TeX Live directly from [TUG](http://tug.org/texlive/) instead of using the Debian packages. That way you can always get current package versions by running `sudo tlmgr update --all`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Upload images only over the official interface ###&#xD;&#xA; - ``Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official stackexchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: CTRL+G).

Also, it's a little confusing to have fresh questions in the _answers_ section, so this answer will be removed from public view in _N_ days.`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Many times it is not clear whether it is a bug or not. For example consider these two questions of mine:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/79379/incompatability-between-currfile-and-enumitem&#xD;&#xA;* http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/68684/corrupted-texlive2012-installation-option-clash-for-currfile&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One was a bug, the other was not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Had someone else reported the same symptom I would have checked that first, and it would have saved me many hours to have to distill it down to that point.&#xD;&#xA;I had no idea it was related to `currfile`/`enumitem` until I was able to get it down to a small MWE.  I just thought I was perhaps redefining something incorrectly that was causing this issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And then at that point, do I report this as a bug for `currfile` or `enumitem`?  Not sure how a user is supposed to decide.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Furthermore I was thinking that perhaps there is still some corruption in my TL2012 installation as per:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/68686/corrupted-texlive2012-installation-file-l3candidates-sty-not-found&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once others can confirm that they see the same behavior, and not some option clash issue, only then would it be known as a bug (except of course to the pacakge authors), at which case I would have emailed the authors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And even if the problem is fixed in a updated version, many people tend to stick with old versions given that we often get questions where the answer is to update their distribution.  Here is one form today: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/79485/problem-with-mdframed-commands. If there were question here with the same problems that those people were experiencing, then they would know that they needed updated packages and/or release. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am not suggesting that this site be used as a bug tracking system or that all bugs be reported here, just that if one person took quite some time to narrow down to a bug, then posting it here is useful. And if an answer shows up that provides a workaround until that bug is fixed, that might be also be useful to others who do not want to update their packages/releases.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I agree with @AlanMunn that we're in an informal environment, so there's no point in propagating a typing error or a nonconformity with common usage in the site, such as peculiar capitalizations of program names or way of writing package names (I'm *not* referring to another well known question about capitalization).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we are faced with something that's not a typo, the question is more subtle. However one should take into account that comments *are* different from answers and many times it has happened to me that I realized a comment was not in the best form. In some cases I removed and rewrote it (the time limit for edit doesn't always allow for corrections *post facto*) if the problem is not simply a typo; but I'm afraid that some of them are imperfect (or even blatantly wrong) without any possibility to do something: if nobody draws attention to the error, they remain there unchanged, as it's impossible to check all our comments spread over hundreds of threads.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Quote the comment literally, if you want, or quote it indirectly: &quot;In @XYZ's comment it is suggested to do in this way&quot; and be polite in correcting the mistake."

Since we received very positive feedback from our beloved users, the **TeXtalk** became a regular event in our community blog.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our interviews are also indexed in the [TUG Interview Corner](http://www.tug.org/interviews/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's quite simple, actually. `:)` We have a [dedicated chatroom for interviewing our members](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728). We schedule a time with the interviewee and everybody is invited to join the TeXtalk chatroom and submit questions. It's a very friendly conversation!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# I missed the interview! What do I do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not despair, post-interview questions and remarks are welcome! `:)` We usually wait a couple of days, then &quot;lock&quot; the interview. We want to give our members the opportunity to read the chatroom transcript and add their own remarks or even submit questions to the interviewee. The format is working marvellously well so far. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have a team of reviewers that put every bit of the interview in the correct order, so we can easily adjust the comments. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How is the next interviewee chosen?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we think it's time to have another interview (usually twice a month), we ask our interview committee to suggest names. This committee is composed of our [regular chatroom residents](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41).

If the file name does matter, there usually are several files involved with one main file accessing the other(s) (e.g. a .bib file). In those cases, I'd recommend using a `filecontents` environment in order to enable user to create everything with one file. If you complement that with the `\jobname` macro, which carries the current file's name, you enable users here to have maximal influence on the names of files while still being able to refer to files. Example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{biblatex}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;    @book{one,&#xD;&#xA;        author = {Anthony Apple},&#xD;&#xA;        title = {Title}}&#xD;&#xA;    @book{two,&#xD;&#xA;        author = {Barbara Banana and Chris Coconut},&#xD;&#xA;        title = {Title}}&#xD;&#xA;    @book{three,&#xD;&#xA;        author = {Donna Date and Eric Eggplant and Fred Fig},&#xD;&#xA;        title = {Title}}&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \addbibresource{\jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    \nocite{*}&#xD;&#xA;    \printbibliography&#xD;&#xA;    \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can also do things like `\begin{filecontents}{\jobname-hello-world.tex}`. Here is some more information about the `filecontents` environment and the [`filecontents ` package](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/filecontents) (which might be handy in some cases), quoted from the [`filecontents` documentation](http://texdoc.net/pkg/filecontents):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &gt; The environment `filecontents` is intended for passing the contents of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; packages, options, or other files along with a document in a single&#xD;&#xA;&gt; file. It has one argument, which is the name of the file to create.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If that file already exists (maybe only in the current directory if&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the OS supports a notion of a `current directory' or `default&#xD;&#xA;&gt; directory') then nothing happens (except for an information message)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and the body of the environment is bypassed. Otherwise, the body of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the environment is written verbatim to the file name given as the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; first argument, together with some comments about how it was&#xD;&#xA;&gt; produced. The environment is allowed only before `\documentclass` to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ensure that all packages or options necessary for this particular run&#xD;&#xA;&gt; are present when needed. The begin and end tags should each be on a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; line by itself. There is also a star-form; this does not write extra&#xD;&#xA;&gt; comments into the file.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; (The&#xD;&#xA;&gt; comment about `filecontents` being valid only before `\documentclass` is,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in fact, untrue. `filecontents` is allowed anywhere in the document's&#xD;&#xA;&gt; preamble.)&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The `filecontents` package provides a hacked-up version of the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `filecontents` and `filecontents*` environments that lifts the two&#xD;&#xA;&gt; restrictions stated above, namely that existing files are never&#xD;&#xA;&gt; overwritten and that `filecontents` must be used before the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `\documentclass` declaration (really, the `\begin{document}`). `filecontents` is therefore a more convenient way to write external files from&#xD;&#xA;&gt; within a LaTeX document than is provided by default by the LaTeX2ε&#xD;&#xA;&gt; kernel."

There are several categories to consider:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Someone asking a question for which the hobby package could provide an answer.  But, as has been pointed out, this person might well not know that it could and, more importantly, might not really care if it could or not.  It is a big thing to choose between pgf and pstricks so those are important tags, but whether an answer uses the hobby package or not is unlikely to be a deal-breaker.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Someone asking a question specifically about the hobby package.  At the moment, this is most likely to be a cheap way of asking me about it!  Since I don't take much notice of tags, a hobby tag wouldn't help here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Someone who likes answering questions with the hobby package.  Tags are never about *answers*, always *questions*.  But even so, the number of people who are in this category is quite small and I suspect we all actively monitor the tikz-pgf tag instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Someone who's just discovered the hobby package and wonders what they could do with it.  One could make this into a case for the tag, but there are other ways to find this information: searching for `usetikzlibrary{hobby}` for a start, or links to the original question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So much as my vanity says &quot;Yes, let's have a hobby tag!&quot;, my practicality thinks that it wouldn't actually bring any benefit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other hand, Charles' suggestion of a more generic tag would make some sense, but then I would go for one with no fancy words (such as &quot;spline&quot;) like &quot;curve-fitting&quot;."

To a new user of LaTeX, the distinction between what is trivial and what isn't might be difficult to make.  Thus, when confronted by a pair of questions similar to those above, it might not be entirely clear what is &quot;acceptable&quot; to ask and what isn't.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With that in mind, I think that _absolute_ consistency is impossible.  Certainly, the same question posed by two different users might be handled differently.  Had the table question been a first question, then it likely would have received a different response.  Rather, it was asked by a user that should have known better and for whom nearly half of their ~20 questions (many of which were basically the same question) had been closed for the same reason. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition a zero effort &quot;draw it for me&quot; question will often pose a more interesting problem than a zero effort &quot;make this table for me&quot; question.  I hope that it's not presumptuous to say that most of us are here because we find solving these problems entertaining and/or enjoy what we learn from them.  When something interesting comes along, it's hard to resist the temptation to try to figure it out...regardless of how it's asked.  The large base of graphics users will naturally lead to more interest in the graphics variety of this type of question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As an educator, I deal with people wanting answers handed to them without putting in any effort themselves on a day to day basis (kids these days).  Most of my time is spent trying to convince people that seeing the answer is only really useful after having struggled to find it themselves.  So on the one hand, I come from that perspective.  On the other, I enjoy a good problem as much as the next guy and some of the few answers I've provided on this site are to questions that haven't shown any effort on the part of the asker.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In short, all of the people who answer questions bring different things to the table and have different motivations for doing so.  That's what allows for such a great variety of answers here, but also what would prevent any unified policy on what &quot;should&quot; be answered from being enforceable and therefore useful. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;`\end{ramble}`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In his answer to the meta.tex.sx question http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1160/different-questions-with-the-same-answer, Andrew argues for merging these questions.  This is good, provided it is clear to people seeing either of the symptoms that the answers address their problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, in practice these questions are often getting closed as exact duplicates of each other.  From the experts point of view, this may seem natural, but a user lacking this expert knowledge will see that instead of being given a solution to the symptoms they see, they are being told how to treat a completely different set of symptoms.  Without an explanation of why the two phenomena are about the same problem, this is a failure to answer the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I propose that our policy in this case is either (i) merge per Andrew's suggestion, ensuring that the question makes clear that answers should address both sets of symptoms, or (ii) tolerate different questions with analogous answers, provided that links between them, and our policy is also that we do not (*iii) close questions about one set of symptoms as being exact duplicate of another question that deals with quite different symptoms.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This question is in response to the closure of http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/82960/change-abstractname."

The future visitor, even coming via a search engine to the specific case, is helped by the prominent duplicate link to the more general solution.

Note, each duplicate link makes the linked question more prominent and also higher in the FAQ list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's a good question, Charles, I don't mean you but as a general idea: if something such as closing as a duplicate doesn't seen to fit perfectly, instead of denying closing it would be good if you firstly check if it could be fixed by improving the other question.

And hence,&#xD;&#xA;I don't use abstract, or figure names. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at those two posts, they seem totally unrelated.  I have done enough hacking with TeX that I _think_ I could get figure this out. But by just looking at the answer in the duplicate, it is certainly not at obvious to me that these two are related, or even where I should begin to look for the problem.  If I was a new user and had a question about changing the abstract name and it got closed as a duplicate of &quot;Change caption of names of figures&quot; I would really be confused, and discouraged.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While the OP did not provide a complete MWE, the relevant code snippets and document class were provided.  It seems like a decent question. Since the problems appear so different, what I would prefer is to have the answer that solves the problem at hand and a cross reference to the other question.  Only then would it be clear as to how they are related.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also dislike the idea of changing the original question to a more general one. I constantly refer to many of my older questions and if it were changed significantly (either title, or body), words that I remember being part of the question might no longer be in the text and would make it harder for me to locate (Search on TeX.SE is already very difficult). And changing the title from &quot;_name of figures_&quot; to &quot;_how to change names of objects_&quot; is a perfect example of such potential confusion. I would be thinking I had a question about _&quot;figure_&quot; and not &quot;_objects_&quot;.  Sure, after careful thought one would come up with &quot;_how to change names of figures, abstracts, and other objects_&quot;, but not sure that people changing the question would always see that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I realize that the site is not just for me, but if I can't access my own questions, I would end up asking even more questions -- I am sure no one wants that!! :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ok, just saw Mazzy's comment after I looked one more time to make sure that his post has some merit -- I guess that is the clue of where the problem was.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And closing as a duplicate to the one lockstep linked to above would not be so bad.

So in my opinion, this is even not the _same disease_, only a similar one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And one more point: When you vote for &quot;exact duplicate&quot;, the two things mentioned are &quot;same content&quot; and &quot;identical question&quot;, and that is not the case here. On one hand keeping many &quot;too localized&quot; questions that could be closed by saying: &quot;it's your problem, not LaTeX's one, and it's nearly impossible that someone else will encounter the same problem&quot;.

For German language documents, the focus in on breaking up various f-ligatures -- not only the &quot;usual five&quot; f-ligatures (ff, fi, fl, ffi, and ffl), but also also ligatures for the ft, fft, fb, ffb, fh, ffh, fj, ffj, fk, and ffk character pairs and triples -- that cross morpheme boundaries. For English language documents, the list of rules for breaking up f-ligatures is much shorter than it is for German documents; to make up for this, for English documents ligature suppression rules are also provided for &quot;historic ligatures&quot; (e.g., ct, st, sp, and sk) and &quot;discretionary ligatures&quot; (e.g., th, as, is, us, at, et, and a few more).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The package's files may be found at https://github.com/micoloretan/selnolig. The user guide is in the file called selnolig.pdf. The main required files are selnolig.sty, several other .sty files, and a file named selnolig.lua that contains the package's lua code. To start using the package on your system, be sure to download the sty and lua files to a directory in your tex distribution and update TeX's filename database. The pdf files contain the package's documentation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe the package isn't quite ready for official release to the CTAN, mainly because there are a couple of persistent bugs that need to be fumigated. Nevertheless, I believe the package is already quite usable, and I'd therefore like to encourage LaTeX users who are interested in matters related to typographic ligatures -- and especially their selective suppression -- to download the package's files and give them a thorough workout on their own documents. Comments and critiques are most welcome; I provide an email address at which I may be contacted in the user guide.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Experts in lua and programming for luatex are especially encouraged to peruse the list of bugs I've compiled, in a section of the user guide, and try their hand at offering improvements and outright bug fixes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, any and all further feedback about the package, such as about its choices of ligature suppression rules, will also be much appreciated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This package wouldn't be possible without the various answers and suggestions I've received in the TeX.SE group to questions I posed about how one might go about suppressing ligatures selectively. To all of you who provided such contributions I express my sincere thanks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Happy TeXing!&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Indeed we have quite a bunch of such examples in our community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I once stumbled upon one of your edits and, although your changes in the code really reduced it to the minimal example, they were quite significant. I decided to abstain from voting for that particular revision - and then someone else voted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm very happy to see improved questions and answers. We have great TeXnicians around - Heiko, Frank, egreg, David, to name a few - but we also have a lot of TeX newbies. IMHO writing a MWE is also part of the learning process. We have successful stories in which problems were solved by simply trying to come up with a MWE.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think a good approach would be to ask the OP, via comment, to try reducing the code to a minimal state. I see this as a win-win situation:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The OP can learn from the process and maybe even solve the original problem.&#xD;&#xA;2. The community will have a concise code and a better question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm also tempted to reduce codes to their minimal form, but I can see the benefits of leaving the questions as they are for a while. As TeX shepherds, we are happier about that one sheep that had a good learning experience than about the ninety-nine that did not need guidance. `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Is there a limit?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The display engine of the Stack Exchange network shrinks the image to fit within the horizontal boundary of the post, regardless of its size. However, there is a file limit. According to the [imgur FAQ](http://imgur.com/faq#size):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The maximum non-animated file size you can upload is 10MB. However, if&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the image is over 1MB then it will automatically be compressed or&#xD;&#xA;&gt; resized to 1MB, for better viewing on the net.

Somewhat stupidly, I consider downvotes on others' question and answers a lot because I want the spirit to stay as it is (relaxed, quite kind, and willing to help further even though the votes are saturated and very unlikely to get more) and unfortunately not everyone takes these votes lightly. Hence my concern. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm kind of among the actively voting users. Since I don't value the votes much, I'm clicking those arrows much easier, I might even write down the steps because I've just did on a 5-answer question. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. What's this question? Oh, a MWE. That's handy. About (random example replaced here) table of contents, section misalignment. Man, why would you do that? Anyway MWE is nice. voted. &#xD;&#xA; 2. Ah it has an answer, is there any `@` characters in it? (just joking!). Well what did they use ? I didn't know that. But there is a package for this. Anyway, voted. Next. &#xD;&#xA; 3. Yep, that's what I would sort of do. Voted. &#xD;&#xA; 4. This can not work. Let me compile it. Dang, it's working how come? Let me tweak a little. Still works. But this is not suitable for such and such. Comment and voted for fooling me. &#xD;&#xA; 5. Nope got the question wrong. &#xD;&#xA; 6. No idea what this is about or how to use it (happens mostly on bidi, Emacs, LyX questions)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think I'm using the votes as *mark as read* button. And I stop voting when I see the yellow warning signs *You have 5 votes left*. But honestly I keep reading the questions in the same manner. However the system is not sorting the questions on technical proficiency. So many questions goes away unvoted. But if you happen to receive votes for an ancient question that's probably me searching for something else :). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also you might want to consider what tag is being followed the most to get the pattern normalized. I'm following the TikZ questions among other things but I'm mostly spending a lot of time on core questions (mostly asked by Bruno) that received answers that are rock hard and some of them are at the *How to draw Christmas tree with TikZ?* level questions. However, I can only vote once. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So 5-10 votes in a TikZ question are like 2-3 votes on a normal question and I'm also not comfortable with it. We had some time ago a discussion to keep the high-rep users back a bit to let new users rep-charge themselves. And I think the system is working in the face of such imperfections. Lastly **[tag:pgfplots]** answers also have a lot of pictures but it's not getting that much of attention so putting images are not the only factor for the votes. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Because we have the experts having fun here too, votes seem to be a measure of participation instead of proficiency on TeX.SE. So I guess the votes are showing the fun factor not anything else. That's why we can never have Careers 2.0 here because everyone is too nice to take this as a challenge and compete for some weird virtual trophy. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

That said, I'm not sure if I could attend any TeX conference on behalf of TeX.sx, since it's very difficult for me to obtain subsidies for travelling abroad. Besides, I really don't have anything so TeXnical to offer, besides of cute ducks (or tortoises). Brazil doesn't have a local TUG - I'd love to try to found one, but still some sort of minimal infrastructure would be needed, and have at least a quorum - so the only way to get in touch with the TeX world would be through an international group.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3.

Since most of the answers posted up to the time of typing this come from really experienced users I am looking up to, I thought an answer from a less experienced user could be fun. More so, because I happen to have an Electorate badge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As other users pointed it out, TikZ questions will always get more votes for the fun factor involved, especially the Christmas tree kind. I must confess, I also tend to upvote them, although to a lesser extent lately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Recently my participation has somewhat slackened, I am bogged down with other tasks for the coming months, but I still read questions on a daily basis and also try to find an answer (where no `@`s are required `;)`). Or at least check the MWE to see if I can reproduce and trace the error, especially if I think it's non-trivial. If I already took the pains of copy-pasting the code and compiling it, I upvote the question. I see it as an encouragement for new users to ask away, a question with 0 upvotes can be quite a turn-off.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now that I think of it, I often vote to close duplicates. Sometimes it is just a matter of doing a more thorough search, but at other times the link to a previous question is less obvious. I gladly vote to close questions that are blatantly of RTFM type. I feel that if we don't curb them, we tacitly encourage them, which is in no way constructive. (And I get slightly annoyed by users posting answers when a comment already suggests it's been answered and 3 or 4 closing votes confirm that...) Nevertheless, I very seldom downvote anything. It needs to be serious business for me to do so.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I upvote mainly on answers that either are very simple and elegant or from which I learned something new: a new feature or a new way of addressing an issue. Also, I like detailed answers with good explanations about how and why the code posted actually works. I have learned a lot from such answers and they definitely worth being rewarded. Good &quot;competing&quot; answers are definitely part of this category. And I upvote sensible comments too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And there are some other factors involved in my voting process, with which some of the users may not (fully) agree. For instance, I tend to upvote a question/answer with 9 votes, to secure a badge for the user. At the point where it earned 9 votes, I think it also deserves a 10th one. I know there are lots of users who avidly collect badges and nobody can deny the fun factor involved. (In the early days I was one of those hunters myself. `:)`) And this leads to the second (somewhat controversial) reason for voting: I practically was preying on interesting questions (and answers) to upvote when I had some 50 votes missing to get the Electorate badge... All right - now I said it all. `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's a very friendly place, where we talk about virtually everything - even TeX, sometimes! I decided to give it a try and add a few &quot;extra features&quot; to our chatroom, and the result is presented in this meta thread.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I was planning to implement a bot and find a way to wrap it into the SE infrastructure. Thankfully, there is already a project from [Zirak](http://stackoverflow.com/users/617762/zirak) named [SO-ChatBot](https://github.com/Zirak/SO-ChatBot), a bot written in JavaScript which runs in one's browser session. I played with it a little and decided to tweak it (apart from my lack of JS skills) in order to make it more TeXy. The result is *Psmith*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Introduction&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Psmith* is a SO chatroom bot based on Zirak's original code which runs under my credentials and within my browser session. If I'm not in the room or if I didn't deliberately trigger the startup script, the bot won't respond. I'm in charge of the bot's execution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The name&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We first thought of Jeeves, but it's taken. Then our next attempt was with Wooster, but it wasn't catchy enough. I thought of Jarvis, but it's too Stark-based. `:)` Then Andrew suggested [Psmith](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psmith), and we all approved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Available commands&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our bot recognizes the following commands:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/list` : it lists all the bot's commands. Pretty intuitive.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/choose opt1, opt2, ... , optn` : chooses one of the elements from a comma-separated list.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/eightball question` : replies the question with a `yes/no` answer.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help` : displays the general help.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help command` : displays the help on one of the bot's commands.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/cricket` : fetches the last news from cricket and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/ctan` : displays the last entries available in the official CTAN announcement RSS feed.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/texdef arguments` : runs Martin Scharrer's amazing [`texdef`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/texdef) tool on the provided parameters.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/question question` : an experimental command where the bot tries to actually answer your question. The database is still tiny, we are working on it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Potential issues&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This bot replies under my name, with the **Psmith, the TeX bot** prefix. Most of the commands are asynchronous, so the bot might take a while to answer. If too many requests are made, the bot might flood the chat and I get suspended for spam. `:)` So, take it easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why am I posting this text?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/116589/are-bots-specifically-allowed-or-prohibited-in-stack-exchange-chatrooms&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [...] Finally, a bot will be held against abuse standards just like any other user. If it &quot;behaves&quot; inappropriately, we're not going to like that. This holds both as far as the actual chatting (content/flooding) goes, as well as considering communication with the server (if you poll the server for new messages every 50ms, that's going to get you banned pretty quickly).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; That said, we're all programmers here, and this is the kind of &quot;exercise&quot; we like. So we'll probably not come after you with pitchforks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; But just to make it clear: We can, at any time and with or without any reason, say &quot;We don't want that anymore; turn it off now.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't leave the bot unsupervised, at least for long periods of time. That said, I'm in the chatroom almost 24h/day, and I monitor the bot's activities and replies. I can shutdown the little rascal if needed, at any time and moment. Every command is triggered at my side of the connection, in my machine, including `texdef` running on my TeX distro. In other words, the JS script adds hooks to the messages, intercepts certain patterns and then forwards requests to my local machine for processing. Then, the reply happens as if I were typing that message.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As [balpha](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/115866) said in his reply, it's a good exercise. `:)` Let's see how it goes. If the SO team thinks this is a terrible idea or if it opens a dangerous precedent, by all means, let me know. I can easily shutdown everything, by simply closing my browser. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By the way, thanks to [Aarthi](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/165582) for being so kind in helping me with the procedures to announce the bot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks a lot. `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

'Highly-active' TeX-sx members, on the main site and meta, are particularly encouraged to consider 'standing'. There are _no_ restrictions on standing: in particular, the existing 'representatives' are very welcome to put their names forward to continue. [Note: I've called the people we put forward 'representatives', but that's mainly because I can't think of a better term. Nominees should not feel the need to represent TeX-sx other than being members of the site and therefore interested in TeX in some way!]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The model for answers follows the pattern from last year.

Everyone should take a look at these answers and vote for deserving candidates: remember there are eight places available!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Based on the time-frame from StackExchange, we have about a week to fill up the slots. I'll therefore close the question late on 2012-12-08 (next Saturday), so we (mods) can send the names along in time.

I totally agree that any new question should have been preceded by some research on this site and others before being posed. Another aspcts is that a site like this has a task to fulfill also for persons new to LaTeX and who may ask fairly simple questions but lack the backgroudn to understand what tags to search for. I have seen other forums go from being fairly open to extremely elitistic since the forum and the senior users content and knowledge, respectily, develp in tandem. This is really sad indeed. Anyway, this means I think the way questions should be viewed is quite complex and one must keep the greater good in view when looking at questions and judging them.

This reply is perhaps not directly a response to the first question but more of an extension to the discussion. I totally agree that any new question should have been preceded by some research on this site and others before being posed. Another aspect is that a site like this has a task to fulfill also for persons new to LaTeX and who may ask fairly simple questions but lack the background to understand what tags to search for. I have seen other forums go from being fairly open to extremely elitistic since the forum and the senior users content and knowledge, respectively, develop in tandem. This is really sad indeed. Anyway, this means I think the way questions should be viewed is quite complex and one must keep the greater good in view when looking at questions and judging them.

At first I was looking for insights into areas where I needed to widen my perspective. I thus searched for tag and provided votes on entries that asked for me pertinent questions or similarly relevant replies or both. This way my voting was governed by my own &quot;needs&quot;. Fairly soon I started to follow the entries in &quot;real time&quot; and of course found much that I was not really aware I was interested in. Thus the voting has widened in scope but is still bsed on question that in some way interests me and for answers, answers that provides me with new and interesting information (particulary if they are succinct and well written). What I thus might still miss are posts that come in under my radar either because my own understanding of TeX/LaTeX is lacking or because the heading is poorly written in the sense that the true content is not clear. I guess I have not come to the point where I simply must try to understand everything. I can imagine visitors may remain in any of these steps which will then govern the voting."

I'll therefore close the question late on 2012-12-08 (next Saturday), so we (mods) can send the names along in time. In the event of a tie in number of votes, the mod team will decide which of the tied members are put forward to StackExchange.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Voting closed with the following result: there were nine names put forward, the top eight by votes were:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Paulo Cereda&#xD;&#xA; - Stefan Kottwitz&#xD;&#xA; - topskip&#xD;&#xA; - Aditya&#xD;&#xA; - Jake&#xD;&#xA; - Alan Munn&#xD;&#xA; - azetina&#xD;&#xA; - Martin Scharrer&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These names will be passed to the StackExchange staff to be forwarded to TUG."

I think that there are some basic guidelines for this sort of thing (note: *guidelines*, not *rules*).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. This is a question-and-answer site.  So make the question bit a question and the answer bit an answer.  Imagine that you are a user with a problem and phrase your question accordingly.  As you already know the (or &quot;an&quot;) answer, try to ensure that the question is as helpful as possible - remember that it is the *question* that users will use to determine whether the answer will be useful to them or not.  If you can't separate your recipe like this consider rather posting it as a blog post.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Be honest.  Although your question should be a genuine question, you should be honest about having an answer already.  Unless you intend to answer straight away, the chance is that someone will look at your question and try to help you.  Saying that you already have an answer says to them that answering your question shouldn't be a high priority (though folk do like a challenge so someone might try to answer it anyway - the point is, though, that they won't be annoyed with you when you post your answer).  But keep the question in the question and the answer in the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Be humble.  You are posting your question-and-answer to help others, but leave yourself open to the possibility that you can be helped yourself.  Your solution might not turn out to be the best or there might be something that you overlooked which doesn't affect you but might affect someone else using your code."

We are now going to reset our Community Promotion Ads for the new year.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### What are Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - scripts packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1.

If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The question must always be tagged with the magic [meta-tag:community-ads] tag.

What this means in details is highly dependent on the expertise of the beholder, but we should probably assume a user that doesn't know a lot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's a tendency I noticed in many ads, which should be read as a hypothesis, not a factual statement: Creators of ads think: &quot;How can I express what this complex product is in a concise way?&quot;, which leads to ads with the product's name and some sort of a logo; this makes it very clear to people who already know the product (who are not the target group), but very hard to grasp for potential new users. Instead, I propose, creators should think &quot;Why is this product relevant to the user?&quot;, and create ads that feature one or very few *strengths* or samples of the product -- risking that the ad doesn't provide a well-balanced picture of the product as a whole. This risk is acceptable, since ads certainly don't aim to explain the pure nature of a product, but rather want to make the beholder curious about the product and want to try it. While the &quot;represent the whole product&quot; approach may be more objective and thus appear &quot;fair&quot;/&quot;not like tricking the user into something&quot;, I think it lacks effectiveness and results in relatively uninteresting ads. The &quot;evoke curiosity&quot; approach is subjective and bears the risk of being misleading, but I think our community would catch misleading ads through voting and discussion. The latter approach might require more effort on the side of the ad creator, but in my experience, that's virtually always been the case when you want to put yourself in the situation of someone else and convey information to them in an accessible manner -- which, after all, is always the case in situations of communication.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(This is the most certainly imperfect result of my pseudo-marketing skills with a background in pedagogy, but I thought it would at least provide some interesting background for discussion.)"

I have seen that it is not customary to comment with &quot;thank you&quot; unless adding something &quot;useful&quot; and that extended back-and-forth commenting with a single user triggers a proposal to move the discussion to a chat.

This is actually a really nice start for a community wiki answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to address members with two-part names. I am unsure if @Dave Smith notifies Dave Smith or if it notifies Dave instead. Does it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; matter? Quotation marks? Underscores?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The @ notation only works in comments and chat. For users with two part names you can simply remove the space between them. So you can refer to me with @AlanMunn. Only users who have already commented on a question or answer can be notified this way. The person who asked the question or provided an answer is automatically notified as well of comments to that question or answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to find a list of questions I have favorited. I assumed clicking on the star will add the question to a list I can later&#xD;&#xA;&gt; revisit for future reference. I have not yet found that list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fastest way to get to your favorites is from the pop-up box showing your recent activity, where your name is in the menu at the top of the page. It shows a table including how many favorites you selected recently. Clicking on the word &quot;favorites&quot; takes you to your user profile page, with the favorite tab activated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![favorites pop-up][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you click on your user profile, there is a link to your favourites page under the text box containing your self-description:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![favourites profile][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   - How to make sure I get notified when a new comment or answer is submitted to a question I am interested in. Rate? Favorite? (Comment?&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I hope not.) This is not the same as the previous point, as I may wish&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to remind myself of answers when using TeX irrespective of whether&#xD;&#xA;&gt; there are any new answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Stackexchange sends notifications only for changes to questions that you have asked, answered, or commented. Please bear in mind that only comments that add useful information to a question or answer are encouraged, and unhelpful or chatty comments are liable to be removed.&#xD;&#xA;If you are interested in following a question, select it as a favorite by clicking the star icon next to it and visit it regularly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to subscribe to searches / tags / tag combinations. (I keep getting confused by context sensitivity and wonder if I am ending up&#xD;&#xA;&gt; subscribing to that tag edited by a specific user, if I subscribe to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that tag from that user's page? Once I ended up in what looked like a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; filter setup but have no recollection of how I got there.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't have an answer to this. Hopefully others can fill in the details.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Which sites are recommended to store images? (I noticed http://imgur.com in the help but assume others will work.)&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Are images mirrored by TeX.SX or left on the linked site? How does that affect future / archival usefulness?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You should always use the image icon above input panel to upload an image. Images uploaded in that way will be linked permanently to the site by imgur.com.  Other image links should not be used.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to format a question / answer? (Keep it simple KISS principle, or &quot;when are headlines welcome&quot;?)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Compose a question containing relevant keywords so it may be found through the search engine. Ask a limited question and format your [minimal working example (MWE)](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/) as preformatted text by marking it and hitting the &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt; keys.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Short answers need not be formatted other than including code as preformatted text. If you answer a multipart question, quote the part you are referring to by prepending it with &quot;\&gt;&quot; characters. If your answer to a single short question contains multiple components, sparingly use headlines of the form \#\#\# Sample Headline \#\#\#.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Exactly what makes a helpful comment and what makes an answer? I feel many users err on the side of politeness and choose to comment,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which may or may not be a good thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Erring on the side of politeness is our specialty. :) I think that many of us leave comments rather than answers if the question isn't entirely clear. If the comment turns out to be on the right track, it can be easily turned into an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - I noticed some of my &quot;common courtesies&quot; edited away. I have seen that it is not customary to comment with &quot;thank you&quot; unless adding&#xD;&#xA;&gt; something &quot;useful&quot; and that extended back-and-forth commenting with a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; single user triggers a proposal to move the discussion to a chat. I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; believe this stems from the &quot;wiki&quot; philosophy of making this site a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; compendium of knowledge useful to future readers. I am still unsure of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; how, and what to write if I feel the impulse to.  Can a discussion of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; best practices be included in [the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; FAQ](http://tex.stackexchange.com/faq &quot;main site FAQ, not meta FAQ&quot;)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think you've captured the spirit of the site exactly.  The switch to chat is automatically suggested by the site after some number of back and forth comments. Thanks comments can be appreciated, but usually accepting an answer and upvoting it is enough. I don't think we actively discourage thanks comments if the answer seemed especially helpful to you. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/PfupO.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Oo9oP.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

To be honest, I was expecting the same number of answers and upvotes. IMHO if you took the time to add an entry in order to win the LaTeX book, you should upvote Marc's main thread as a *thank you note* for him being so kind in offering one copy of his book to a member here. Please, don't be greedy. We should participate here as a community, not like a bunch of people wanting freebies. `:(`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

Since we received very positive feedback from our beloved users, the **TeXtalk** became a regular event in our community blog.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our interviews are also indexed in the [TUG Interview Corner](http://www.tug.org/interviews/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's quite simple, actually. `:)` We have a [dedicated chatroom for interviewing our members](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728). We schedule a time with the interviewee and everybody is invited to join the TeXtalk chatroom and submit questions. It's a very friendly conversation!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# I missed the interview! What do I do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not despair, post-interview questions and remarks are welcome! `:)` We usually wait a couple of days, then &quot;lock&quot; the interview. We want to give our members the opportunity to read the chatroom transcript and add their own remarks or even submit questions to the interviewee. The format is working marvellously well so far. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have a team of reviewers that put every bit of the interview in the correct order, so we can easily adjust the comments. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How is the next interviewee chosen?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we think it's time to have another interview (usually twice a month), we ask our interview committee to suggest names. This committee is composed of our [regular chatroom residents](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41). Once we reach a consensus, Paulo is in charge of making the official invitation. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Available interviews&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Legend:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ![Chatroom Bookmark][1] *Chatroom bookmark*&#xD;&#xA;- ![Blog post][2] *Blog post*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Currently, the following members have been interviewed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][3]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-egreg) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/11/textalk-an-interview-with-egreg/) [egreg](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4427/egreg)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][4]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-lockstep) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/11/textalk-an-interview-with-lockstep/) [lockstep](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/510/lockstep)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][5]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-martin-scharrer) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/12/textalk-an-interview-with-martin-scharrer/) [Martin Scharrer](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][6]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-werner) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/01/textalk-an-interview-with-werner/) [Werner](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/5764/werner)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][7]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-jake) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/02/textalk-an-interview-with-jake/) [Jake](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2552/jake)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][8]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-yiannis-lazarides) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/02/textalk-an-interview-with-yiannis-lazarides/) [Yiannis Lazarides](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/963/yiannis-lazarides)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][9]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-patrick-gundlach) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/03/textalk-an-interview-with-patrick-gundlach/) [Patrick Gundlach](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/243/patrick-gundlach)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][10]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-gonzalo-medina) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/03/textalk-an-interview-with-gonzalo-medina/) [Gonzalo Medina](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/3954/gonzalo-medina)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][11]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-david-carlisle) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/04/textalk-an-interview-with-david-carlisle/) [David Carlisle](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/1090/david-carlisle)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][12]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-andrew-stacey) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/06/textalk-an-interview-with-andrew-stacey/) [Andrew Stacey](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/86/andrew-stacey)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][13]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-plk) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/08/textalk-an-interview-with-plk/) [PLK](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/1657/plk)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][14]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-aditya) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/08/textalk-an-interview-with-aditya/) [Aditya](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/323/aditya)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][14]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-joseph-wright) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/09/textalk-an-interview-with-joseph-wright/) [Joseph Wright](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][14]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-peter-grill) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/11/textalk-an-interview-with-peter-grill/) [Peter Grill](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4301/peter-grill)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][14]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-ulrike-fischer) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/12/textalk-an-interview-with-ulrike-fischer/) [Ulrike Fischer](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2388)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lion&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The lion used in the TeXtalk logo is (poorly) drawn by Paulo as an homage to the TeX community.

The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book.

I recognize the sentiment brought forward. I would like to add the following thoughts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, I think questions should be asked no matter how &quot;simple&quot; they are since users have very varied backgrounds. As I stated in a [different discussion][1] I also think that the site can be a very valuable platform for incresing knowledge and also attract new users to LaTeX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem with some questions is that they can be solved by a simple search. I therefore think that any person posting a question should have given it some effort and perhaps there should be an addition to the FAQ indicating a few good web sources for basic information (such as for example lshort and the LaTeX Wikibook). I know this is stated but perhaps not as clearly as needed in the system. There is of course not possible to still weed out those who have no intention to search for an answer but just want the answer served. I think that is something one has to accept.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another aspect is that what is difficult for one may be simple for someone else, particularly for beginners.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think one problem for a site such as this, where we all get educated by the excellent answers provided by the peers, is that as we all get more and more educated it becomes easier to discard more and more questions as too simple. Add to that the problem that they are likely may have been asked already. So they key question is then how to best manage the &quot;simpler&quot; questions from the perspective of the person asking.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/84/how-elitist-should-the-site-be" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules.

The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book.

The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules.

If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment.

Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book.

If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book.

The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.

If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book.

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules.

The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book.

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules.

Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book.

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment.

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules.

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules.

If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book.

Text="I am organising a lottery and Springer have kindly agreed to donate a copy of [_LaTeX and Friends_](http://csweb.ucc.ie/~dongen/LAF/LAF.html).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Joseph Wright has kindly agreed to act a an independent witness/judge and he knows the winning number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;`&lt;LEGAL STUFF&gt;` The lottery closes when the judges announce the winner. The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book.

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules.

The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.

If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book.

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules.

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book.

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

Text="I am organising a lottery and Springer have kindly agreed to donate a copy of [_LaTeX and Friends_](http://csweb.ucc.ie/~dongen/LAF/LAF.html).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Joseph Wright has kindly agreed to act a an independent witness/judge and he knows the winning number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;`&lt;LEGAL STUFF&gt;` The lottery closes when the judges announce the winner. The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules.

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

Text="I am organising a lottery and Springer have kindly agreed to donate a copy of [_LaTeX and Friends_](http://csweb.ucc.ie/~dongen/LAF/LAF.html).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Joseph Wright has kindly agreed to act a an independent witness/judge and he knows the winning number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;`&lt;LEGAL STUFF&gt;` The lottery closes when the judges announce the winner. The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

Text="I am organising a lottery and Springer have kindly agreed to donate a copy of [_LaTeX and Friends_](http://csweb.ucc.ie/~dongen/LAF/LAF.html).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Joseph Wright has kindly agreed to act a an independent witness/judge and he knows the winning number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;`&lt;LEGAL STUFF&gt;` The lottery closes when the judges announce the winner. The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules.

If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book.

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book.

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules.

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid.

Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book.

If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book.

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules.

The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules.

This is actually a really nice start for a community wiki answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to address members with two-part names. I am unsure if @Dave Smith notifies Dave Smith or if it notifies Dave instead. Does it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; matter? Quotation marks? Underscores?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The @ notation only works in comments and chat. For users with two part names you can simply remove the space between them. So you can refer to me with @AlanMunn. Only users who have already commented on a question or answer can be notified this way. The person who asked the question or provided an answer is automatically notified as well of comments to that question or answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to switch between [TeX.SX](http://tex.stackexchange.com &quot;main site TeX.SX&quot;) and [meta.TeX.SX](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com &quot;meta site meta.TeX.SX&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On top right of the page next to the search box, the link between the &quot;chat&quot; and &quot;about&quot; links actually switches between &quot;main&quot; (meaning TeX.SX) and &quot;meta&quot; (circled).  &#xD;&#xA;this is also where a permanent link to the [TeX.SX FAQ](http://tex.stackexchange.com/faq &quot;TeX.SX &quot;main site&quot; FAQ&quot;) can be found (arrow).  &#xD;&#xA;![screenshot of page menu][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to search for tags.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the search box next to the site menu, enclose tags in square brackets.  &#xD;&#xA;*Example search:* [`[color] [line-breaking] magaz`](http://tex.stackexchange.com/search?q=[color]+[line-breaking]+magaz &quot;click to see example search results&quot;)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to find a list of questions I have favorited. I assumed clicking on the star will add the question to a list I can later&#xD;&#xA;&gt; revisit for future reference. I have not yet found that list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fastest way to get to your favorites is from the pop-up box showing your recent activity, where your name is in the menu at the top of the page. It shows a table including how many favorites you selected recently. Clicking on the word &quot;favorites&quot; takes you to your user profile page, with the favorite tab activated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![favorites pop-up][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you click on your user profile, there is a link to your favourites page under the text box containing your self-description:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![favourites profile][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   - How to make sure I get notified when a new comment or answer is submitted to a question I am interested in. Rate? Favorite? (Comment?&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I hope not.) This is not the same as the previous point, as I may wish&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to remind myself of answers when using TeX irrespective of whether&#xD;&#xA;&gt; there are any new answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Stackexchange sends notifications only for changes to questions that you have asked, answered, or commented. Please bear in mind that only comments that add useful information to a question or answer are encouraged, and unhelpful or chatty comments are liable to be removed.&#xD;&#xA;If you are interested in following a question, select it as a favorite by clicking the star icon next to it and visit it regularly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to subscribe to searches / tags / tag combinations. (I keep getting confused by context sensitivity and wonder if I am ending up&#xD;&#xA;&gt; subscribing to that tag edited by a specific user, if I subscribe to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that tag from that user's page? Once I ended up in what looked like a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; filter setup but have no recollection of how I got there.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't have an answer to this. Hopefully others can fill in the details.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Which sites are recommended to store images? (I noticed http://imgur.com in the help but assume others will work.)&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Are images mirrored by TeX.SX or left on the linked site? How does that affect future / archival usefulness?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You should always use the image icon above input panel to upload an image. Images uploaded in that way will be linked permanently to the site by imgur.com.  Other image links should not be used.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to format a question / answer? (Keep it simple KISS principle, or &quot;when are headlines welcome&quot;?)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Compose a question containing relevant keywords so it may be found through the search engine. Ask a limited question and format your [minimal working example (MWE)](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/) as preformatted text by marking it and hitting the &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt; keys.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Short answers need not be formatted other than including code as preformatted text. If you answer a multipart question, quote the part you are referring to by prepending it with &quot;\&gt;&quot; characters. If your answer to a single short question contains multiple components, sparingly use headlines of the form \#\#\# Sample Headline \#\#\#.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Exactly what makes a helpful comment and what makes an answer? I feel many users err on the side of politeness and choose to comment,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which may or may not be a good thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Erring on the side of politeness is our specialty. :) I think that many of us leave comments rather than answers if the question isn't entirely clear. If the comment turns out to be on the right track, it can be easily turned into an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - I noticed some of my &quot;common courtesies&quot; edited away. I have seen that it is not customary to comment with &quot;thank you&quot; unless adding&#xD;&#xA;&gt; something &quot;useful&quot; and that extended back-and-forth commenting with a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; single user triggers a proposal to move the discussion to a chat. I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; believe this stems from the &quot;wiki&quot; philosophy of making this site a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; compendium of knowledge useful to future readers. I am still unsure of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; how, and what to write if I feel the impulse to.  Can a discussion of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; best practices be included in [the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; FAQ](http://tex.stackexchange.com/faq &quot;main site FAQ, not meta FAQ&quot;)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think you've captured the spirit of the site exactly.  The switch to chat is automatically suggested by the site after some number of back and forth comments. Thanks comments can be appreciated, but usually accepting an answer and upvoting it is enough. I don't think we actively discourage thanks comments if the answer seemed especially helpful to you. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/BiaNc.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/PfupO.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Oo9oP.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="I am organising a lottery and Springer have kindly agreed to donate a copy of [_LaTeX and Friends_](http://csweb.ucc.ie/~dongen/LAF/LAF.html).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Joseph Wright has kindly agreed to act a an independent witness/judge and he knows the winning number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;`&lt;LEGAL STUFF&gt;` The lottery closes when the judges announce the winner. The judges decision is final and there shall be no discussion&#xD;&#xA;and or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  `&lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--200.  The first person who guesses the right number wins the book.  Please note that the time of _arrival_ in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 13 December, 2012. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an _answer_ to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: At the winner's request, I can sign the book. (I'm not doing this by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: There are still plenty of free numbers. I am relaxing the rules. Contestants may submit 2 (valid) guesses.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: Congratulations to @seadoor for guessing the right number 132. Well done. Thanks to Joseph Wright for helping as a judge and alerting me the right number had been chosen (I hadn't noticed it because it was added as an edit to an existing post). Thanks to everybody for participating. It took a bit longer than anticipated. Next time I should allow a shorter range of numbers.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, please accept my apologies for entering the `publicity` tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Have fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Marc van Dongen&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt; &#xD;&#xA;The numbers that are already chosen : *Running `your favorite algorithm`-sort...

Following *this* route doesn't guarantee migration here. If some (other/the majority of) users designate the post as off-topic without specifying an appropriate migration path, then the post might end up as &quot;Off topic&quot; *without* being migrated, even though you voted/requested it. Why would this happen? This may be due to a number of things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Vote-to-close voters are not familiar with TeX.SE and therefore do not know that it will most likely be on-topic here;&#xD;&#xA;2. There's a lot of noise on [StackOverflow](http://www.stackoverflow.com) due to its broad scope, and being the catch-all Stack Exchange site. So, things that are considered *somewhat* off-topic, probably reaches that point without much discussion;&#xD;&#xA;3. The harsh(er) nature of SO where it could be assumed that if you don't know about TeX.SE and post stuff on SO, you're SOL.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've questioned why my migration path suggestions through flagging were not honoured in [Migration to TeX.SE](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/147980/168244). The procedure is explained well over there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why is your comment(s) removed during the migration? This is the default setup (I've learned): Any comments with TeX.SE-related links will be removed when migrating to TeX.SE. I think the most likely reason for this is because of the common &quot;This is better-suited on [TeX.SE](http://tex.stackexchange.com)&quot; comment, which becomes obsolete at the time of migration. So, a blanket rule in this regard was probably the easiest option.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Knowing the above, I usually follow these guidelines:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Flag as &quot;Other&quot; with the comment &quot;Migrate over to TeX.SE&quot;. This ensures that a moderator will look at the flag (I'm assuming), which could speed up and hopefully ensure migration.&#xD;&#xA;2. Don't leave a comment stating that it belongs somewhere else (TeX.SE), since many users would then repost here, causing cross-network duplicates. This doesn't really matter, but just the way I've resorted to doing things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A recent feature request regarding migrations lead to [Disable migration for questions older than 60 days](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/151890/168244) (realized on [October 18th, 2012](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/117903/168244)).

Of course we can suggest possible improvements.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The remained is a proposal for improving titles (not just titles that are too long). I decided to use a format where I list a typical title, a reason why I think the title is poor, and a proposal to improve the title. In the list I've tried to use recent titles, hoping this shows relevance.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The proposal is by no means complete. Please add to the list if you have more ideas. Hopefully, this exercise will result in a list of &quot;error patterns&quot; that we can use to improve subject titles. Also the reasons in the list may help to convince the OP they should change their titles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When adding items to a list, always add them to the end of the list. Otherwise, you may src*w up the numbers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. _How do I colour `&lt;X&gt;` in red?_ This title is too specific. If we don't change this title we end up with  all possible variations for different colours. A better title would be _How do I change the colour of `&lt;X&gt;`?_&#xD;&#xA; 2. _How do I draw a circle?_ In this case it turns out the OP want to draw the circle with a certain package (`tikz` or `pstricks`). Here the question isn' specific enough. I propose we add the name of the package to the start of the title: _`tikz`: How do I draw a circle?_ Even better: _`tikz`: Drawing a circle._ (See the next item.) If there are several packages/classes, I propose to list them in alphabetic order, using forward slashes as a separator: _`pstricks`/`tikz`: Drawing a circle._  I also propose to use similar titles for engine-specific questions. For example, _`pdflatex`: creating hyperlinks_. An alternative solution would be to rely on the tag and omit the reference to the engine.&#xD;&#xA; 3. _Is there a way to configure pdflatex to make all but the .tex and .pdf files hidden files?_ This question is too long. I propose to make a change along the following lines: _`pdflatex`: Hiding all files, except for the .tex and .pdf files._ Note that I decided to get rid of the question mark because the title is now the topic of the post.&#xD;&#xA; 4. _How can I make a set of latex flashcards that I can print to write my answers on one side?_ This question is redundant because it's clear the flashcards should be printed. Proposed solution: _Flashcards with answers on one side._ If the OP intended the flash card to be single-sided a better solution would be _Single-sided flashcards._&#xD;&#xA; 5. How to X?_ Another example of redundancy. Just write _X_ or equivalent. For example, _How to implement the Russian typographical traditions?_ -&gt; _Implementing Russian typograpical traditions._&#xD;&#xA; 6. _Problem with Minion Pro._ This title isn't specific enough. In my opinion reading the tile should give some idea about the nature of the problem. As it turns out the OP had a problem with _Th_ ligatures after a period. I propose: _Minion Pro: Problem with `Th` ligature after period._&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know some may find this list a bit OTT. Personally, I think that a good title is just as important as a MWE because it helps the reader save time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;No doubt the list is incomplete (and indeed redundant). I decided to start writing the list because I needed a break from marking assignments.:-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As stated before, feel free to add to the list." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Usually, the answers stay, which is ok in most cases. No need to penalize the answerers by deleting their contribution.

That's a great thing if it matches, however often answers consides the specific case and not the possibly canonical question, so it doesn't fit. It would be great, if people would firstly check for a duplicate before answering. I often see answers to basic questions, which are dupes, even by high rep users. I believe flagging a duplicate should be rewarded more than getting rep for a fast answer possibly without checking.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But back to the topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Considering voting: I suggest vote as usual. If the answer is good, upvote. Is it offtopic such as the question, which was closed as offtopic, don't vote. Local view: answers to closed questions can still be sorted by votes. Global view: even if there's no reason to sort answers, such as in the case of a single answer of a closed question, you still could consider to give rep to the poster. But this should be for on-topic quality, i.e. not for off-topic questions, and not for the xth basic duplicate, do not encourage strict rep hunting. If it's a great post, vote up though (in that case merging comes up again)." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Andrew and I wrestled with a few solutions, and I ended up accepting one of my own solutions.  Six months later a user named &quot;Gurvan&quot; submitted an answer, which I didn't understand and dismissed as inoperable.  Four months after that Gurvan came back and submitted another answer, which was really just a reiteration of the first answer, but with example code that demonstrated he was right.  Shortly after that the question got migrated here.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now I feel like Gurvan's answer (in its two parts) is probably the best one.  Ideally his two answers should be one post, with the explanation and the sample code together.  But Gurvan is nowhere to be seen.  He has no TeX.SE account, nor as far as I can tell even a StackOverflow one.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some options to proceed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. I edit his first answer, incorporating his second answer, and flag the second answer for deletion.  The edits might end up being substantial, however.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. Same as option 1 but with Gurvan's first answer marked as community wiki.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3.

There are three distinct ways that might be done.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Using a standard text editor with no (La)TeX-specific add-ons. This category covers for example using Notepad, TextEdit or 'vanilla' Emacs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. Using a standard text editor with add-ons. This covers both simple cases (say adding the ability to typeset to a standard editor, but nothing else) through to extremely complex add-ons (Emacs/AUCTeX I guess would fit at this end).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3. Using an editor focussed on (La)TeX work, for example TeXworks, WinEdt, TeXniccenter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The questions that then arise are to some extend dependent on the editor route. In category 3, the most common questions focus on linking the editor to TeX tools (either an entire TeX system or a specific command), and these tend to look 'good' for on-topic. At the other end of the spectrum, in category 1 there is likely to be very little that could be asked that would be on-topic. The problematic category is the middle one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For users of standard editors with TeX-specific add-ons, the question needs to require some knowledge about TeX or something directly linked to be solidly on-topic. Thus asking about getting a TeX-specific add-on set up is probably on-topic, while asking about something which would also affect a non-TeX document probably is not. The difficulty arises as some of the issues may be much more to do with the editor than with TeX, even if an add-on is involved. In the case highlighted in the question, the problem would clearly apply to any document, so it is on the editor side rather than the TeX side.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of the tagging, it's worth noting that a lot of users mention their editor even if the question is nothing to do with the one they use. In the Emacs case, we have the complication that some of the questions we get are really more about Emacs than TeX even though they involve TeX add-ons, but they don't have a better place to go. We've therefore been somewhat flexible about some of them, provided there is some TeX-specific part to the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that Lyx does not fall into any of the categories above. Lyx is a system which uses LaTeX for typesetting, but does not simply act as a TeX editor. (Indeed, you can't edit an arbitrary TeX file using Lyx.) As such, Lyx questions are on topic ('friend' of TeX), but not as editor questions." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

To best serve the community of people using Tex-based documentation, the site should be able to answer questions about the rendering of Postscript specials in a DVI viewer, how to view the hinting in a font, how PDF tagging might affect searching for text in an output document, or how to make an editor fit a particular authoring workflow.  Ultimately, we should not be interpreting relevance in a narrow way that means we are sending away questions that are good for the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In this particular case, there are two reasons to think this question is a good fit for us:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The example text is a Latex document, so it is from our community; and&#xD;&#xA;2. Spell checking is not just about the natural language contents of documents, but also the markup they contain.  It seems quite likely that the manner in which some particular Emacs spellchecker detexifies the documents, is something to do with the problem the questioner has.  So it is quite plausible that the solution to the problem will rely on Tex-related expertise, namely how a particular heuristic for parsing Latex works.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I think this question passes the relevance test on two fronts: it is relevant to preparing Latex documents, and it appeals to expertise that we have.  The usually more important criteria for closing relate to whether the question is, regardless of topic, asked in a way that attracts satisfactory answers - it is clear enough in that respect.  So I think it should be reopened.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Cf. the less than perfectly conclusive discussion at http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/507/is-troff-groff-a-friend-of-tex" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This post basically _proves_ there is an actual bug (dated since 2005!) in the British dictionary and the discussion there suggests a number of workarounds, Mozilla oriented. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As of now the question can have an interest for quite a wider audience, since OpenOffice dictionaries (perhaps now LibreOffice) are used by so many editors. Besides the “en_GB” files affect more latexers than an American or a Briton might think. At least in Italy (I don’t know in the rest of Europe), British English is the language taught in the high schools (yes, they tell us it is an error to write “center”). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fact is that the workarounds suggested for Mozilla are kind of limited in scope: for example, they can’t suggest a strategy like this `\newcommand{\ie}{i.e.\ }` (well, very trivial, but you are surely thinking of something smarter). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other side, Emacs has a probably stronger control on spelling compared with the others. For example one can use the `OTHERCHARS` argument in the dictionary list to control how words are built, and use a regexp like `['.]`. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These considerations altogether make me think that a joint discussion involving latexers and emacsers is far more efficient than a set of disjoint efforts and, for obvious reasons, this community seems the best place to develop it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/28/latex-editing-discussions-that-are-editor-specific&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/28/latex-editing-discussions-that-are-editor-specific&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/95052/british-latex-files-with-emacs-and-hunspell&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318040" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This lead to the fact that as a community we have a general idea of what's, kind of, on topic and what not. This editor business is really tough because we already have a lot of editor questions and most of them end up showing buffer tricks, or screenshots of menu items etc. and if you can just go through them you'll see that the knowledge is not even close to TeX but mostly SuperUser.SE stuff. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I can summarize the main question treatment types: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  1. Emacs, Vim, LyX,... questions that receive quick answers survive even if they are off-topic because we upvote them and it goes to the archive as answered. &#xD;&#xA;  2. Similar type of questions that initiate a commenting festival, often end up in a custom chat room where users figure the issue among themselves and then we see a final comment along the lines of *Thanks, that solved my issue we can close this one.* and get closed with upvoted answers. &#xD;&#xA;  3. Similar type of questions dangling for a few months with no activity. These get closed in our famous *Answer the Unanswered* sessions. &#xD;&#xA;  4. Same type of questions that deal with the workflow of the editors and not TeX. For example here is one that I've answered http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/36919/texniccenter-on-windows-building-problems Notice that this was also on its way to be closed, had I not provided a guessed answer. So the main issue is to deal with these questions, not to close per se. They are mostly unanswerable. &#xD;&#xA;  5. Similar questions about the interference of TeX with Editor behavior and vice versa e.g. `shell-escape` related ones and others. They are most of the time on-topic. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So after this long example rundown the punchline is: In a community driven Q&amp;A site there are no strict rules but most of the time common agreements. You can pick up lots of TikZ questions that should have been closed but led to 50 upvoted stuff. So making sure that the rule is respected will piss off a lot of users for no reason. Hence, every question is judged individually but not against rules carved on stone.  If a question becomes interesting, we try not to steal the thunder of the users involved just to make sure that our rule is in place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can always come to the chat room and join our Emacs/Vim lovers' discussions (*not me, and yes, I miss a lot, I'm a noob,my pinky should be dislocated by now, butterflies, double rainbows, bla bla :P* ), I've seen a lot of Emacs trick-exchanges. You can also ask if such questions would be on topic or not before you spend time on writing up a question on chat or here. &#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is a well-known phenomenon from rugby: since a rugby match is essentially a pitched battle, it is often hard for a referee to see when a maul turns into a brawl and they might well miss the start of it and see only the retaliation or the *third man in*.  Therefore, the third man in is actually the more likely to get sent off the pitch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is very easy to get offended on someone else's behalf.  In such a circumstance I would advise caution.  Rolling back the edit is only one of the options available.  Chatting about it, flagging it, commenting on the post.  These are all milder actions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The other thing I'd say is to always act as if the original offender (assuming an offence has been committed) did so out of the best of motives.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Oh, one more thing.  There is a difference between a *one off* occurrence and a *serial* editor.  In the latter case it is worth gently taking them aside and asking them to desist (assuming that there is no real need for the edits to be made).

However, there are some subtleties to this. The first is as marczellm says that a one-liner may not really 'feel' like an answer: it may be the core of an answer but need expansion, for example. There is then the question of whether the comment really answers the question, which you might want to check out. Not all questions are great, and some of them you may want to comment on with the expectation that they'll be closed. That's particularly the case when you're posting something that can be found in a simple guide or with a web search.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;During our 'Answer the Unanswered' sessions, one of the things that happens is that people are encouraged to convert comments to answers where this seems the best approach.

If the original commenter does not do this, or is not about, then a community wiki answer is often left.

One is as a real-time &quot;I've asked this question and I want a quick answer now&quot; type of site, and the other is as a longer term repository of questions and definitive answers. I think that many of us here take this latter view of the site. As a result, we have lots of very high quality answers, and a relatively low number of competing answers for many questions.  We also tend to comment on answers to improve them rather than posting competing answers.  This is a very good thing, IMO and not only makes the site a useful long term resource, but also fosters a real sense of community where people are willing to help each other rather than fighting over reputation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think that having lots of competing answers to any particular question just generates noise and makes the site less useful.  Also, as you can see from other sites where this practice is more common,  when there are lots of answers, early answers tend to get upvotes and very good but later answers sometimes don't.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The commenting facility however, provides a real time remedy to this situation: a comment that also provides an answer may solve the original questioner's problem, and (as others have noted) at the same time provide time for us to find and link to other related or duplicate questions.

Text="TeX.SX (and all other networks on [Stack Exchange](http://stackexchange.com/sites)) is a **Q**&lt;!&gt;uestion **&amp;**&lt;!&gt; **A**&lt;!&gt;nswer (or Q&amp;A for short) site where users ask questions, which are then answered by community members. This structure is the fundamental building block for the site. The top entry of every post is the question, while answers are given below it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is what the [FAQ](http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/create-posts) mentions regarding posting answers:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Remember, if it's *not* an answer to the posted question, it does not&#xD;&#xA;&gt; belong among the answers!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By adding a *follow-up question* within the *answer* section of a post (also called a &quot;non-answer&quot;), many things can happen:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Your question will typically be displayed at the bottom of the entire post, since answers are usually sorted by vote count (unless otherwise selected by the user). As such, your question could likely go unnoticed or not receive the attention it deserves.&#xD;&#xA;- The community could consider this a [bad thing](http://tex.stackexchange.com/faq#flagging), and flag it for moderator attention. If left unattended, your question could even be downvoted by the community members (causing [a loss in reputation](http://tex.stackexchange.com/faq#reputation)) since you are not adhering to the Q&amp;A format of the network.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is therefore suggested that you do the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Repost your question as an entirely new question by clicking the [Ask Question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ask) link within the site banner:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Include a reference to the original post by starting with something like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; This is a follow-up question to [http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/...](http://tex.stackechange.com/questions/)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; and adequately describe why the presented solutions do not solve your problem. This will give the community a frame of reference from which to formulate an alternative approach, taking your setup and new constraints into consideration.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Delete your original question from the answer section of the previous post, by clicking the `delete` button at the bottom of your question:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Even though it will still be visible to you (and some high-reputation users), it will be considered removed from the &quot;answer&quot; section of the post. Alternatively, click on the `flag` button and request that a moderator delete it for you:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Moderators are there to keep the site clean, responding to flagged non-answers by community members through comments and eventually deleting them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, if you are a fairly new user, asking a new question is the best way to solicit feedback, both via answers from the community as well as [comments](http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/comment) from other users. Posting a non-answer, however, generally restricts your responses/feedback. As such, feedback and clarification of your problem is best served as a question on its own (even if it is a follow-up), rather than an &quot;answer&quot; to another question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/V3au3.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ec3DI.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/keY9s.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

A possible answerer see a question which would benefit from a MWE. In that case he flags it as &quot;_MWE required_&quot; and it gets to the review process.&#xD;&#xA;   2. If it succeeds in the review (i.e. flag accepted) the question will be closed for answers until an edit has been made. Also an automatic comment will be attached linking to &quot;_What is an MWE?_&quot;, &quot;_How to generate a good MWE?_&quot;, &quot;_Why is a MWE required?_&quot;. Furthermore, if the questioneer, adds a comment below his question, the reviewers who made the decision will get notified so as to take action on any requests, etc.  &#xD;&#xA;Now there are two possibilities after the edit:  &#xD;&#xA;        - It is re-opened for answers (I lend towards this, as it lessens the burden for the reviewers)  &#xD;&#xA;        - It gets back in the review pile (to ensure a suitable MWE).  &#xD;&#xA;   3. If it succeeds, there will be a bar under the questions which is there to inform other answeres about the request for a MWE. Then they can decide whether they wish to answer or not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This review process has a couple of drawbacks:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The burden of the community increases, as a lot more reviewing takes place. &#xD;&#xA; - It might frighten some people away from this Q&amp;A, if they keep getting &quot;_Needs an MWE_&quot; when they dont know about to create one. (however, this will be leveraged through comments with the user)&#xD;&#xA; - This will only work if the review process goes faster than any answerers post an answer, but just as a _close(x)_ flag is apparent on the question frame, so could _MWE required(x)_ /_MWE(x)_ be.&#xD;&#xA; - A flood of _MWE required_ could pose a potential stall for any answers on the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some benefits:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The quality of the questions will be raised, as they will be more specific, with examples. &#xD;&#xA; - Newcomers will immediately be introduced about how to ask questions via SE standards (or at least TeX.SE).&#xD;&#xA; - Will increase quality of answers as it already introduces some code which should be explained (instead of just one-line answers with no or limited explanation) (also please elaborate on this opinion)&#xD;&#xA; - Very _simple_ questions could receive extra attention as it leads to more detailed discussion about the inner-workings of TeX (often a MWE example shows what the person was thinking rather than what the person would want). This is a future benefit for other having the same problem.&#xD;&#xA; - Also in regards of `TikZ` (which is a heavily active question topic) it will be clearer for answerers to see what the questioneer actually is doing (`TikZ` is so complicated that any drawing has nearly unlimited number of possibilities).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Even if the review was wrongly justified, a simple edit would bring it to an active state again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am very much in doubt whether this is a good idea or not, but at least I would like to hear your opinion on this.  &#xD;&#xA;I also think that the community on this site would not stall due to the above method. People are nice about things here (and of course the way it is presented to the questioneer should not be &quot;DO THIS YOU ...&quot;, but more like &quot;_Users xxx,xxx,xx,xx and xx suggests that you provide a MWE. This will show them exactly what your question is about as there could be ambiguities... etc._ &quot;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However, the answers vary a lot in terms of quality and the kinds of information they provide, which makes comparison harder than it would have to be. So I thought it might be nice to standardize the information available about every editor. Here’s what I’d propose to do:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Compile a list of features, which will be present in every editor’s answer (Unicode, RTL support, platforms, ...). This will pretty much result in standard answer template.&#xD;&#xA;- Create a sample document (~40 lines max) to take screen shots of in each editor, so the screen shots will be really comparable.&#xD;&#xA;- Have users here “sign up” for editors, i.e. one or a few users will be “responsible” for a specific editor that they are experienced in using. If the editor receives major updates, it’d be great if they could also update the answer accordingly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each of these should be one CW answer here, I guess, which I’ll create; discussions can take place in the respective comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sometimes, we get questions like “Which LaTeX editor can make fried eggs?” – in these cases, we could just create a call for action here (another answer as a to-do-list probably) and have the editor caretakers add the feature “Make fried eggs” to their respective editor’s answer. All the information neatly collected in one place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is, of course, the great Wikipedia article [*Comparison of TeX editors*][1], and we should try to avoid just duplicating that here. Instead, let’s take advantage of our format: screen shots are definitely a plus; we can me a little more subjective than Wikipedia; we can add a few words to a bare *yes* or *no*, if necessary; and, while I don’t know how up-to-date that article is, it might be easier for us to stay up-to-date.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Important: Let’s wait with updating the actual answers until we’ve pretty much sorted everything out here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Feel free to edit all answers without prior discussion.** I think most things won’t be very controversial, since it’s usually not an either-or situation. If the feature list or sample document get too extensive, we can always try to boil them down later.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Note** Any discussion comments that get 'actioned' will be removed periodically so the key points stay clear.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_TeX_editors" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

A possible answerer see a question which would benefit from a MWE. In that case he flags it as &quot;_MWE required_&quot; and it gets to the review process.&#xD;&#xA;   2. If it succeeds in the review (i.e. flag accepted) the question will be closed for answers until an edit has been made. Also an automatic comment will be attached linking to &quot;_What is an MWE?_&quot;, &quot;_How to generate a good MWE?_&quot;, &quot;_Why is a MWE required?_&quot;. Furthermore, if the questioneer, adds a comment below his question, the reviewers who made the decision will get notified so as to take action on any requests, etc.  &#xD;&#xA;Now there are two possibilities after the edit:  &#xD;&#xA;        - It is re-opened for answers (I lend towards this, as it lessens the burden for the reviewers)  &#xD;&#xA;        - It gets back in the review pile (to ensure a suitable MWE).  &#xD;&#xA;   3. If it succeeds, there will be a bar under the questions which is there to inform other answeres about the request for a MWE. Then they can decide whether they wish to answer or not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Drawbacks&#xD;&#xA;==========&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This review process has a couple of drawbacks:  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The burden of the community increases, as a lot more reviewing takes place. &#xD;&#xA; - It might frighten some people away from this Q&amp;A, if they keep getting &quot;_Needs an MWE_&quot; when they dont know about to create one. (however, this will be leveraged through comments with the user)&#xD;&#xA; - This will only work if the review process goes faster than any answerers post an answer, but just as a _close(x)_ flag is apparent on the question frame, so could _MWE required(x)_ /_MWE(x)_ be.&#xD;&#xA; - A flood of _MWE required_ could pose a potential stall for any answers on the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Benefits&#xD;&#xA;========&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some benefits:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The quality of the questions will be raised, as they will be more specific, with examples. &#xD;&#xA; - Newcomers will immediately be introduced about how to ask questions via SE standards (or at least TeX.SE).&#xD;&#xA; - Will increase quality of answers as it already introduces some code which should be explained (instead of just one-line answers with no or limited explanation) (also please elaborate on this opinion)&#xD;&#xA; - Very _simple_ questions could receive extra attention as it leads to more detailed discussion about the inner-workings of TeX (often a MWE example shows what the person was thinking rather than what the person would want). This is a future benefit for other having the same problem.&#xD;&#xA; - Also in regards of `TikZ` (which is a heavily active question topic) it will be clearer for answerers to see what the questioneer actually is doing (`TikZ` is so complicated that any drawing has nearly unlimited number of possibilities).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Even if the review was wrongly justified, a simple edit would bring it to an active state again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am very much in doubt whether this is a good idea or not, but at least I would like to hear your opinion on this.  &#xD;&#xA;I also think that the community on this site would not stall due to the above method. People are nice about things here (and of course the way it is presented to the questioneer should not be &quot;DO THIS YOU ...&quot;, but more like &quot;_Users xxx,xxx,xx,xx and xx suggests that you provide a MWE. This will show them exactly what your question is about as there could be ambiguities... etc._ &quot;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

By &quot;trivial&quot;, I mean they don't require more insight than to &quot;look in the manual&quot;. These usually aren't good candidates for a Q/A site, because they can easily create a flood of almost-duplicate questions, none of these helping any future user.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A good solution in some cases is to create a generic question, making all those real duplicates of that generic question. However, it is not always possible, and even when it is, I understand this site doesn't wish to become a parallel manual for common packages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before I mention the question I have in mind, disclaimer : &quot;it's in the manual&quot; isn't always an useful answer, because some manuals are more helpful than others, provide more examples, etc. But in that case, we should expect the asker to show that he has browsed the manual, and even if possible, to show the exact part he doesn't understand.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's the same idea as on forums, &quot;google is your friend&quot;: sometimes finding appropriate keywords for a google query is a problem by itself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But once we took care of these problems, some &quot;really trivial&quot; questions remain : the example I have in mind is [this recent question][1]. As you can see, the needed work from the question's code snippet to a real answer is... very small.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I voted to close this question as &quot;too localized&quot;, but I was really unsure: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - in some sense it could be a duplicate of a more general question about tikz styles (however, I couldn't find any such duplicate, so that settles it)&#xD;&#xA; - in some sense it's not a real question... because it's hard to know what is asked, what the OP misses to transform his code to an actual answer &#xD;&#xA; - in some sense it's indeed too localized, because the *answer* won't probably help anybody (but the *question* could!)&#xD;&#xA; - and finally, don't forget that maybe the asker really wants to learn something, probably that &quot;trivial&quot; point he is missing in his code (maybe the fact that &quot;rectangle&quot; is the default shape?)... in which case the question should be kept open.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;More specifically, about the &quot;too localized&quot; flag, since it is the one which &quot;won&quot;, when I read its description:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can't say how it applies to the question: it is neither specific to a localization or a time-frame, and the problem isn't particularly &quot;extraordinary narrow&quot;. However, once again, we can't really make the &quot;Duplicate&quot; or &quot;Not a real question&quot; descriptions fit there either, in my opinion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So my question is : should such questions be left open by default?

This area is about `\part`, `\chapter`, `\section`, `\subsection` &amp; friends. (Even about `\paragraph`, although this is exhibit no. 1 for &quot;LaTeX macro name capable of being misunderstood&quot;.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I assume that the current coexistence of [tag:headings] on the one hand and [tag:chapters] and [tag:sections] on the other hand is yet another example of early-adopted macro name tags not scrutinized up to now. Looking at questions tagged with [tag:sections] vs. ones tagged with [tag:headings], the classification seems to have happened as luck would have it. ([tag:chapters] questions are tagged in a more systematic way, but I still think that a separate tag for `\chapter` that replaces the &quot;broad&quot; concept tag is, on balance, undesirable.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I therefore propose to make [tag:chapters] and [tag:sections] a synonym of [tag:headings]. As a variant that would avoid the danger of confusion with [tag:header-footer], the (from now on unmated) concept tag could be renamed to [tag:sectioning].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: Did I mention that this would involve no manual retagging? ;-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 2: Proposal changed significantly, see my answer below."

Stefan is also (obviously) correct about the availability of tag navigation and the fact that a question can feature up to five tags. But my proposal was motivated by the very aim that is also important to Stefan: ease of access to particular questions. So let's take a second look at the current tagging situation for [tag:headings] &amp; friends.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Regarding `\chapter`, Stefan has a point in that this macro is implemented in a different way, and that this fact is mirrored in numerous question tagged with [tag:chapter]. Here's an example: [Chapter starts on right hand side](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6227/chapter-starts-on-right-hand-side). On the other hand, there are questions that offer advice which is also valid for lower-level sectioning commands. Again, an example: [How can I display a short chapter name in the header and a long chapter name in the TOC?](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6862/how-can-i-display-a-short-chapter-name-in-the-header-and-a-long-chapter-name-in-t). Note that this question does not featute the [tag:headings] tag, presumably because the questioner was not aware of its more general nature. My point: Even if an additional [tag:chapter] tag may well have merits, *the &quot;broad&quot; concept tag should not be omitted*. (Note: Everything I said about `\chapter` is also valid for the `\part` macro, which has not necessitated a [tag:parts] tag up to now.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming that the [tag:chapter] tag should be preserved does not equal preserving the current situation as a whole. I still maintain that the breakdown of questions into [tag:headings] vs. [tag:sections] happened by rolling the dice, and that a special [tag:sections] tag is a stumbling block for accessing relevant answers about headings in general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My revised proposal thus is: Merge [tag:sections] and [tag:headings] into a new concept tag called [tag:sectioning]. Keep the [tag:chapters] tag, but add the [tag:sectioning] tag to every question tagged with [tag:chapters] because numerous of these questions are also relevant for lower-level sectioning commands (and because &quot;normal&quot; users cannot assess if this is the case for their particular question about `\chapter`). And yes, add a [tag:parts] tag. :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: Used [tag:sectioning] as new term for the broad concept tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 2: Changed [tag:part] to the plural form [tag:parts].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 3: I ask a moderator to do the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Make [tag:sections] and [tag:headings] synonyms of the new concept tag [tag:sectioning]. (I have already created this tag.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If it can be done automatically, add the [tag:sectioning] tag to every qestion tagged with [tag:chapters] *but do not remove the [tag:chapters] tag.* (I suspect this will have to be done manually in the course of the next weeks.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 4: The latest proposal, which will be implemented by manual retagging in the next few weeks, is a general [tag:sectioning] tag plus the specific tags [tag:parts], [tag:chapters], and [tag:sections-paragraphs].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 5: Also, some of the questions currently tagged with [tag:paragraphs] (which deals with `\par`) will have to be retagged as [tag:sectioning] [tag:sections-paragraphs].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 6: Moderators: The question can be tagged as [meta-tag:status-completed]."

And if they were, I believe it is a bug in the system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Remark:** I have couple flags of this type (marking other flag as &quot;invalid&quot;) that are &quot;helpful&quot;. This means that it is not a _general case of all &quot;invalid&quot; flags_, but rather some (randomly) appearing effect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/EgOwN.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Unfortunately a not insignificant part of them are IMHO the wrong flag type or shouldn't have placed in the first place. While wrong flags may not a big issue if moderator attention is indeed required, needless flags, at least in greater number, do waste the time of moderators and reviewers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Therefore I like to remind all users that flags are intended only for issues which require moderator attention, which means that there can't be resolved by normal users. Exceptions are, within reasons, things which require votes from multiple users but should be handled faster by a moderator.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Flags can be declined for the following reason which I like to mention here explicitly:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Declining because…&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; * flags should not be used to indicate technical inaccuracies, or an altogether wrong answer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; * a moderator reviewed your flag, but found no evidence to support it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; * flags should only be used to make moderators aware of content that requires their intervention&#xD;&#xA;&gt; * other… &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first one is IMHO an important reason which I have seen done a couple of times. I can see why people flag an answer which simply says something technically incorrect and therefore doesn't provide a working solution as &quot;not an answer&quot;, but it is still an valid (but wrong) attempt to answer the question. The flag description is: *This was posted as an answer, but it does not attempt to answer the question. It should possibly be an edit, a comment, another question, or deleted altogether.* Therefore this flag is not valid here (even if it should actually be a comment after our standards because its not a full answer). You could consider using the &quot;very low quality&quot; flag here, but this is more for hopeless posts. I also feel disappointed if I see a &quot;not an answer&quot; flag on a valid but incomplete/technically wrong answer where no comment was added to point out to the user what is wrong or missing here. It's not the task of the moderators to add such comments to every such post. If the answer is really wrong, feel free to down-vote it (down to -1) and please add a comment to it if there isn't already a suitable one there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While I really enjoy the high quality of posts and the good manners on this site, which both are much higher than the average on SX sites as I can see it, I think we shouldn't be too strict and tidy. Having a technically wrong answer with 0 or -1 votes to a question is not a thing which needs to be eradicated immediately by a moderator, especially if there are already good answers there. Also, not every short answer needs to be turned into a comment. Sure, things like &quot;try the `xyz` package&quot; should be posted as comments if there is not a (hopefully tested) solution with it. On the other hand if a (new?) user can fix this issue with a simple, but according to TeXnicans' standards totally imperfect, solution which is good enough for him and most likely others, then why bully him or her to move it to the comments? Instead of flagging this as &quot;not an answer&quot;, explain the reasons why it shouldn't be done like this. This way other visitors of this site can decide themselves whether they can live with the drawbacks or not." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Comments should be focused on focusing the question, not answering it... right?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I ask this mostly because I would have felt bad in these [two](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/100006) [scenarios](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/100004) with a one-line answer - some things just don't feel like they're worth making an 'answer' when they really do qualify."

Since we received very positive feedback from our beloved users, the **TeXtalk** became a regular event in our community blog.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our interviews are also indexed in the [TUG Interview Corner](http://www.tug.org/interviews/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's quite simple, actually. `:)` We have a [dedicated chatroom for interviewing our members](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728). We schedule a time with the interviewee and everybody is invited to join the TeXtalk chatroom and submit questions. It's a very friendly conversation!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# I missed the interview! What do I do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not despair, post-interview questions and remarks are welcome! `:)` We usually wait a couple of days, then &quot;lock&quot; the interview. We want to give our members the opportunity to read the chatroom transcript and add their own remarks or even submit questions to the interviewee. The format is working marvellously well so far. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have a team of reviewers that put every bit of the interview in the correct order, so we can easily adjust the comments. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How is the next interviewee chosen?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we think it's time to have another interview (usually twice a month), we ask our interview committee to suggest names. This committee is composed of our [regular chatroom residents](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41). Once we reach a consensus, Paulo is in charge of making the official invitation. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Available interviews&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Legend:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ![Chatroom Bookmark][1] *Chatroom bookmark*&#xD;&#xA;- ![Blog post][2] *Blog post*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Currently, the following members have been interviewed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][3]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-egreg) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/11/textalk-an-interview-with-egreg/) [egreg](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4427/egreg)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][4]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-lockstep) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/11/textalk-an-interview-with-lockstep/) [lockstep](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/510/lockstep)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][5]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-martin-scharrer) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/12/textalk-an-interview-with-martin-scharrer/) [Martin Scharrer](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][6]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-werner) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/01/textalk-an-interview-with-werner/) [Werner](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/5764/werner)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][7]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-jake) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/02/textalk-an-interview-with-jake/) [Jake](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2552/jake)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][8]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-yiannis-lazarides) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/02/textalk-an-interview-with-yiannis-lazarides/) [Yiannis Lazarides](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/963/yiannis-lazarides)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][9]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-patrick-gundlach) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/03/textalk-an-interview-with-patrick-gundlach/) [Patrick Gundlach](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/243/patrick-gundlach)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][10]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-gonzalo-medina) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/03/textalk-an-interview-with-gonzalo-medina/) [Gonzalo Medina](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/3954/gonzalo-medina)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][11]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-david-carlisle) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/04/textalk-an-interview-with-david-carlisle/) [David Carlisle](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/1090/david-carlisle)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][12]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-andrew-stacey) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/06/textalk-an-interview-with-andrew-stacey/) [Andrew Stacey](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/86/andrew-stacey)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][13]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-plk) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/08/textalk-an-interview-with-plk/) [PLK](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/1657/plk)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][14]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-aditya) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/08/textalk-an-interview-with-aditya/) [Aditya](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/323/aditya)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][14]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-joseph-wright) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/09/textalk-an-interview-with-joseph-wright/) [Joseph Wright](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][14]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-peter-grill) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/11/textalk-an-interview-with-peter-grill/) [Peter Grill](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4301/peter-grill)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][14]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-ulrike-fischer) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/12/textalk-an-interview-with-ulrike-fischer/) [Ulrike Fischer](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2388)&#xD;&#xA; - [![Chatroom Bookmark][14]](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/conversation/interview-with-marc-van-dongen) [![Blog post][2]](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2013/02/textalk-an-interview-with-marc-van-dongen/) [Marc van Dongen](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/10274)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lion&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The lion used in the TeXtalk logo is (poorly) drawn by Paulo as an homage to the TeX community.

While several (La)TeX code authors are active on the site, it's not always possible to spot every bug report for your own code.

While several (La)TeX code authors are active on the site, it's not always possible to spot every bug report for your own code. As a package author, I am always pleased if people report bugs _via_ the 'official' channel as well as e-mailing or raising it here. (For me, the 'official' channel is a bug database hosted on BitBucket. Each package author is different, and e-mailing them directly may or may not be encouraged.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Who should report*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In general, I'd encourage the original discovery to log a bug report. However, they do not always do that. So I'd suggest first commenting asking them to log a report, and if that does not happen taking action yourself even if you're 'just visiting' the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*How bugs are tracked*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each (La)TeX code author is a 'law unto themselves' in terms of bug tracking. Having a single database would not help as simply logging bugs does not get them fixed, and might give a misleading impression. As such, you do have to be prepared to find out how each author wants the information passing on. It's also worth noting that not all (La)TeX code is actively maintained: sometimes there is _no_ good way to report a bug. (Of course, raising the issue here may help as there may be a way to address this.)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So let's:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;0. make question CW&#xD;&#xA;0. probably keep the title, but perhaps generalize the question body a bit&#xD;&#xA;0. jointly write one CW answer subdivided in the most common problem scenarios and linking to other, more specific questions on tex.sx.

The OP *probably* wanted to make the answer of http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/8946/978 work within LyX. He *actually* asked something different: instead of making the `glossaries` approach work in LyX, he tried to use `nomencl`, and get the first-use/subsequent-use scheme that `glossaries` provides into that. Now, there are two approaches: answer what the OP *should* have asked, or answer what the OP *actually* asked. I usually chose the second, and so I did here, suggesting in the first paragraph of my answer that this might be the wrong way to address the problem at hand. You seem to chose the first approach, making a pure `glossaries` solution work within LyX. And I think here started our misunderstanding:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You commented several times suggesting that my answer does not use the full `glossaries` machinery. This is true, but fails to see the point of using the `nomencl` machinery (`\makenomenclature` ... `\nomenclature{...}` ... `\printnomenclature`). So to answer your first question: no, in my approach `\makeglossaries` is not needed, as we don't write a `glo` file, and won't read a `gls` file. Similarly, the answer to your second question is that my answer did not mention how to create the `nls` file, but a `gls` file is not needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your third question is the hardest one. I think we worked out in chat that my solution can work. I fully agree that it might be hard to use, in particular for new users that might prefer a more LyXy way. Does it make my answer &quot;not useful&quot;? That is up to the individual user, I guess." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This site has been incredibly valuable for this. Solving my problem has produced code that I think would be useful for other people as well, and I would like to share the results publicly (maybe not in an official CTAN package, but at least on the Web somewhere).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, a little portion of my code adapts code from this site (a sorting algorithm that was published by TH, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6988/how-to-sort-an-alphanumeric-list). This code was published under CC license on this site, but this license is not generally considered a good license to use for software. I do not see any way to contact &quot;TH&quot; to ask for permission to re-license this code, and TH did not reply to the according meta question (http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1255/relicensing-code-from-answers). My question is: which options do I have now to publish this code under a software license? Do I even need to be concerned in this case, or is the code too simple/short to require any permission?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am aware that this is rather a meta question, but since I just created my account (in hope to contact TH), I cannot ask there. I also cannot post comments on the original answer that my code came from. Moreover, I cannot participate in community chats, again due to lack of reputation points. So it seems that my only way to contact anyone at this stage is to pollute the main question space. All apologies if there should be any other option that I might have overlooked."

This is an open source API that I developed with Bobby Soares and it powers the online editors [ScribTeX](http://www.scribtex.com), [ShareLaTeX](https://www.sharelatex.com) and [LaTeXLab](http://latexlab.org) (in a slightly different implementation). I've been pushing for a wider adoption of this at every opportunity since I think the benefits of an open standard are significant.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The idea is that anyone can access a LaTeX compiler online without worrying about setting it up and maintaining it themselves. On the other side, anyone is free to host the CLSI themselves and provide access to a LaTeX compiler. My implementation serves as a default standard at the moment, but I'd like to see the standard grow and mature with input from the rest of the community, and hopefully for other implementations to pop up. As more and more services are making use of LaTeX online, it would be nice not to end up with a fractured set of half solutions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I haven't done so yet, but it would be reasonably straightforward to code up a Javascript API that talked to the CLSI directly, and could return a PDF to be displayed on TeX.SX. I see the main advantage of this approach being that TeX.SX wouldn't be bound to any specific provider since the CLSI could be hosted anywhere by anyone, and swapped out at anytime with another host.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm part of ShareLaTeX at the moment, and we could provide access to our CLSI farm if needed."

Let me give some background and describe the use-case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As author of pgfplots, I feel honored that this site attracts both power users and beginners, and I feel honored that lots of people appear to find my package useful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am also aware that a lot of questions about pgfplots turn out to be feature requests (compare http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2623/questions-which-are-feature-requests). Some have cool work-arounds by power-users, some provide best-practises - and in most cases, the suggestion &quot;file feature request&quot; appears (with good reason).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since pgfplots is a spare-time project, the priorization of incoming feature requests has three major criteria: (1) the efford to implement it (cheap features are added immediately), (2) the &quot;fun factor&quot; for me as implementor (I like to implement cool features even if they are of limited use) and (3) the &quot;votes&quot; of end-users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can access and control (1) and (2). Concerning (3), I have difficulties to get a suitable overview.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This leads to my question: is it acceptable for a Q&amp;A site like tex.sx to host questions of sorts &quot;Which feature do you miss most in pgfplots?&quot;. The votes on such answers would probably give a relatively good view, and since tex.sx has a high visibility, it would also ensure that it is a representative. But I can understand that it is ... well, not the common question for a knowledge-base platform." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In running text, I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; can use the command \textexclamdown, but this does not work in math&#xD;&#xA;&gt; mode (as far as I can tell).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Is there a way to seamlessly integrate text mode commands in the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; middle of rather hairy equations?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Soon afterwards, a boilerplate comment was added: &quot;*Welcome to TeX.SE! Could you provide a minimal example that allows us to reproduce the problem?*&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's not really clear to me how a MWE would have illustrated the situation. Often, people ask us very poorly worded questions, or present us with complicated problems. But in certain instances such as this, the problem is very simple and quite clearly written.

In running text, I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; can use the command \textexclamdown, but this does not work in math&#xD;&#xA;&gt; mode (as far as I can tell).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Is there a way to seamlessly integrate text mode commands in the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; middle of rather hairy equations?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Soon afterwards, a boilerplate comment was added: &quot;*Welcome to TeX.SE! Could you provide a minimal example that allows us to reproduce the problem?*&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's not really clear to me how a MWE would have illustrated the situation. Often, people ask us very poorly worded questions, or present us with complicated problems. But in certain instances such as this, the problem is very simple and quite clearly written. Asking them to make a mock-up document &amp;mdash; augmenting their already fairly clear question with the string of characters `$\textexclamdown$` &amp;mdash; doesn't really seem very helpful to anyone.

So we don't have any problems that many other SE sites have. The main reason is that our wizards are also here which is fantastic and we know how good they are so reputation doesn't reflect other than participation in the site for the fun of it. A typical example, I have 40K, Frank Mittelbach has 24K. That's nonsense :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Often someone answers a question and misses a duplicate but then someone else finds it in the database and the question gets closed. This doesn't mean that the answerer necessarily does it for reputation. Frequently the active users of the site remember reading such question before and look for the particular duplicate. If you don't know what you are looking for it's not that easy to find the duplicates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But it's tough to find a balance because after a while you tend to answer in the comments. That leads also to other complaints :) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3238/why-do-people-answer-in-comments&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So if you feel addicted and looking for closure at each and every question, my suggestion would be to see the questions as newspaper crosswords.

We schedule a time with the interviewee and everybody is invited to join the TeXtalk chatroom and submit questions. It's a very friendly conversation!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# I missed the interview! What do I do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not despair, post-interview questions and remarks are welcome! `:)` We usually wait a couple of days, then &quot;lock&quot; the interview. We want to give our members the opportunity to read the chatroom transcript and add their own remarks or even submit questions to the interviewee. The format is working marvellously well so far. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have a team of reviewers that put every bit of the interview in the correct order, so we can easily adjust the comments. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How is the next interviewee chosen?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we think it's time to have another interview (usually twice a month), we ask our interview committee to suggest names.

Since we received very positive feedback from our beloved users, the **TeXtalk** became a regular event in our community blog.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our interviews are also indexed in the [TUG Interview Corner](http://www.tug.org/interviews/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's quite simple, actually. `:)` We have a [dedicated chatroom for interviewing our members](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728). We schedule a time with the interviewee and everybody is invited to join the TeXtalk chatroom and submit questions. It's a very friendly conversation!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# I missed the interview! What do I do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not despair, post-interview questions and remarks are welcome! `:)` We usually wait a couple of days, then &quot;lock&quot; the interview. We want to give our members the opportunity to read the chatroom transcript and add their own remarks or even submit questions to the interviewee. The format is working marvellously well so far. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have a team of reviewers that put every bit of the interview in the correct order, so we can easily adjust the comments. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How is the next interviewee chosen?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we think it's time to have another interview (usually twice a month), we ask our interview committee to suggest names. This committee is composed of our [regular chatroom residents](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41). Once we reach a consensus, Paulo is in charge of making the official invitation. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Available interviews&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Legend:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ![Chatroom Bookmark][1] *Chatroom bookmark*&#xD;&#xA;- ![Blog post][2] *Blog post*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Currently, the following members have been interviewed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;

This makes some of them wildly inappropriate here, Tenacious being probably the best example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is a list of the most unbalanced badges:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Epic: there isn't nearly enough reputation going around for it to be merely a &quot;silver&quot; achievement to hit the rep cap 50 times.  Perhaps 25 is better? Though the name is apt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Legendary: granted, it's gold, but compared to other gold badges it's way under-awarded.  Perhaps the cutoff should be 100 times, rather than 150?  Again, going by who *do* have it, the name is apt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Reversal: I am honestly surprised there are *any* awarded.  It's very rare for people to use downvotes in significant numbers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Stellar question: Stars just aren't as common here.  Again, gold badge, but there are only seven awarded.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Tenacious: there are none, and there will never be any since questions get too much time on the front page to flash by and be noticed only by the poser.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Unsung hero: the same, but the gold version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm ignoring bronze badges and anything that rewards something you can do all by yourself.  These are badges that are under-awarded because of the social structure of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My question is whether this pattern means that these badges have inappropriate criteria, or that they measure something this site simply doesn't have.  I know that asking anything about badges is certain to get the high-minded reply that &quot;we don't care about badges; they're just for fun&quot;, but honestly, I care.  It's a good way of noting what I've been contributing to the site in a more granular way than simply that I *have* been contributing insofar as I've been collecting reputation.

Now is it there?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In order not to be too abstract, let's examine the two questions mentioned.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answer to the first one (http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/65043/entry-options-in-biblatex) has an answer that says&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; It's fixed in `biber` 1.1&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since we are at `biber` 1.5 (and 1.1 was already out when the question was posed) I'm *very* inclined to say that it's too localized: just updating the TeX distribution will solve the issue.

The problem is about recognizing a particular ligature in &quot;copy-paste&quot; with a particular font.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem is partly in the `libertine` package that enables by default that ligature, but mostly about a bug in the font, that misses something in its tables that makes it possible to recognize the ligature just like `ff` and others are. Another one that doesn't get correctly recognized as a ligature and is enabled by default is &quot;Qu&quot;. And, apparently, these ligatures can't be turned off unless one loads the font with the `-liga` option (`Ligatures=NoCommon`), which disables also the `f` ligatures.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is no possible answer to this question other than &quot;it doesn't depend on XeTeX, disable those ligatures and complain with the font developer&quot;. Maybe it's not &quot;too localized&quot;. We may possibly decide that such questions should not be closed, but provided with a CW answer: closing as TL exposes it to the risk of being removed."

Truly that is not because it is &quot;too localized&quot; but because it is not really a question: &quot;I've found this bug&quot; is a statement, not a question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The question &quot;Why am I seeing this (unexpected) behaviour?&quot; is a real question. The fact that the **answer** is &quot;Because of a bug in foo.sty&quot; doesn't make it any less of a question. Nor is it (as such) &quot;localized&quot;, unless the questioner is doing something peculiar. If it's a real bug, then lots of people may be bitten by it. Moreover:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. There may be a way round it, which will help the questioner and possibly others.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. There may be no way round it, in which case it may be a reason not to use a particular package, or to prefer bar.sty over foo.sty, or something of that sort.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The original &quot;consensus&quot; answer linked above reached essentially that conclusion, with which I agree. &quot;Bug reports&quot; are to be closed because they are not questions. Bug &quot;questions&quot; are questions, and they are not as such too &quot;localized&quot;: a bug is as much part of software's predictable behaviour as anything else, and unless it has already been fixed it cannot be said to &quot;very tiny geographic regions or vanishingly small periods of time&quot;. Some bugs persist for very long periods. We need to be careful not to regard as &quot;too localized&quot; any question which is not of long-term general interest: judged by those standards, remarkably few questions would pass muster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe that it is a &quot;red herring&quot; to point out that in this case the bug was about to be solved. That doesn't make the question localized, so much as the answer. Questions are often solved, sometimes &quot;externally&quot; (e.g. by someone writing a new package, or adding functionality to an existing package). They shouldn't then be closed; the answer should be updated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Experience suggests that many users soldier on for months -- years, even -- with out-of-date packages. In many ways that is a tribute to the stability of LaTeX. But for such users event an answer which says &quot;This behaviour is a bug in version 1 which is fixed in version 2&quot; may be just what they need, perhaps months later: it will tell them that they can solve their problem by updating their package.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Indeed, the only time I would close a bug-question as too **localized** is where the bug has already been fixed and the questioner is only seeing it because of a failure to update. That, it seems to me, really is a case of a question which is of no conceivable general interest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In summary: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. I would close bug **reports** not as &quot;too localized&quot; but because they are not questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. I would not close a question which asks for an explanation of unexpected behaviour, even if that behaviour is the result of a bug, and even if the bug is about to be fixed. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. But I would close as &quot;too localized&quot; a question which is the result of a bug that has been fixed a reasonable time ago, where it is simple &quot;user error&quot; in using an obsolete version of the package.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think those principles actually reflect what seemed to be the consensus last year. Whether they were correctly applied in these particular cases, I don't know. It's inevitable that some questions will be improvidently closed, of course.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2622/questions-which-are-bug-reports" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I don't mind if the question stays open or closed, either way the issue is not resolved so no need to insist on practice because next year it would really be an ancient issue but as you can see it's reopened after a meta discussion. Same can happen in the chat room too. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So Joel Spolsky might have a different view maybe. But he is not in this community. I would not try to learn how to socialize from Mark Zuckerberg either just because he founded Facebook. That would actually be quite a disaster. Therefore invoking rules in the discussion would make the matters only worse because then everyone starts interpreting a rule that was not there in the first place. It's a community not a state. Everything is based on interaction. I wish the use of `subfigure` ends tomorrow but it doesn't. That's why every time a subfigure question comes we paste the same old comment &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/13625/subcaption-vs-subfig-best-package-for-referencing-a-subfigure&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now my main problem with the treatment of your question: I claim that TeX-SX community should reconsider this reviewing button habits just like we dumped the idea of downvotes. Thanks to that we didn't have any major conflicts due to *why is this downvoted?* stuff for quite a long time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We cannot look for fixed rules when interacting with people. Everybody should keep in mind that it's not our forum even if we were here from the beginning. So we don't deal with customers. They are maybe experts on something completely different but not so experienced in TeX. So rule based handling feels like Microsoft Online help system. Hours of nonsense without actually getting any answer and seeing the same old &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Was this page helpful?* &lt;kbd&gt;Yes&lt;/kbd&gt; &lt;kbd&gt;No&lt;/kbd&gt; &lt;kbd&gt;No dammit no!&lt;/kbd&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;Moreover, you bring any set of predefined rules and I'll find a question that doesn't fit in any cases. I'm not invoking Gödel-ish inconsistency. I'm talking about actual social setting. We don't own here. Everything is based on mutual agreement. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We **tend** to do things in certain way but they are not conclusive, only suggestive. In case of ambiguity, we reopen the question even if it is against the common practice because some user needs information. We hang out here for a better understanding and fun.  Not because of some set of rules and discipline. Hence we do lots of mistakes until someone comes along and warns that the question should not have been closed in the first place. Then we open it again. If another one comes and warns that it's then a duplicate of another we close it again after consulting the OP. &#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason for the hostility of other SE sites, is precisely due to this behavior. Flagging, closing questions without interacting with OP. Then OP gets angry asks for reopening and composes pages long of comments and gets twice as much of belittling and accusing comments back etc. We don't do that. It doesn't cost us anything to have an unresolved question so leave it open. We handle things in the *Answer the Unanswered* sessions. So just move on to the next one. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Having said that, the new review system actually encourages making mistakes during closing because of those stupid yellow/red dots under our avatars :). So I'm asking our high-rep users to use it less often to close the questions. If there are two closing votes it practically means five in a couple of minutes because of our good-willed but slightly impatient reviewers. There are no machines which review questions though some of us are indistinguishable when they are editing/retagging/archiving :). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus there will be mistakes/misjudgements etc. a lot. This doesn't mean that we need to make the rules stricter. Instead we need to watch for the pattern how these mistakes are being generated and as far as I can see it's the review system and too much respect for common practice instead of using them as guides. A disciplined community does not mean a thicker law book that handles unambiguously every case. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So consensus is good but that's it, just a consensus.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The criteria for community approval and engagement in this process is also somewhat strict:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Users with more than 2500 reputation and a total answer score of 5 or more on the tag, can **suggest** tag synonyms.

Thanks to Werner for raising the issue here at Meta.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1.  As Werner correctly observes, there's no proper tag for a *three-column (or more) layout that doesn't use `multicol`&quot;*. Sometimes the [tag:two-column] tag is used for such questions (e.g., in http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/69458/is-a-three-column-footnote-layout-possible), sometimes the [tag:columns] tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2.  The tag wiki excerpt for the [tag:columns] tag correctly describes its predominant use; this does not mean, however, that the creation of this tag was a sound idea. (Most, if not all [tag:tables] problems are about &quot;columns&quot; in a way.) Note that there is a specific, though seldom-used [taG:multicolumn] tag *&quot;for questions concerning the formatting of table cells that span several columns&quot;*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My bottom line is that *if* a general tag is needed for case 1, I'd rather not create a new tag, but redefine the existing [tag:columns] tag.

A few that leap to my attention are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - {size}: Applied inconsistently to file size (for which we have {file-size}), to font size (for which we have {fontsize}, and shouldn't this one be called {font-size}?), to TeX dimensions (for which we have {dimensions}), and last, to the nebulous size of symbols/images/tables/other constructs of variable extent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - {preview}: Refers either to the `preview` *package*, to the `preview-latex` *tool* (part of AUCTeX) to previewing *parts* of a TeX file, or to previewing the *entire* document.  None of these really has their own tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - {notes}: Used both for questions concerning *annotations*, and those concerning *lecture notes* or the like.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's some, but not all of the undefined tags, which I chose just by scanning the list looking for those without a wiki and which seemed like they would be confusing if I wanted to find a particular topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think we should split these as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - {size}: create a new tag {sizing} with synonyms {size}, {table-size}, {image-size}, and {picture-size}.  Split the existing {size} appropriately among these and the existing tags.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - {preview}: create a new tag {previewing} for actual previewing (either part or whole), and have {preview} refer only to the package (which seems to be the practice here).  Create another new tag {preview-latex} and make it synonymous with {auctex}.  Then split the existing {preview} appropriately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - {notes}: we clearly need both an {annotation} tag and a {lecture-notes} tag, though I'm not sure that the latter one wouldn't just be a subset of {beamer}.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, all of these should be properly wikied.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would do all this myself except that I don't know how to do it without bumping every question to the front page; I assume I'd need to ask a moderator to use the appropriate tools.

Text="I have been feeling like doing tag work recently and I found that some of the more popular tags that have not been properly described have found themselves rather inconsistently used.  A few that leap to my attention are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [tag:size]: Applied inconsistently to file size (for which we have [tag:file-size]), to font size (for which we have [tag:fontsize], and shouldn't this one be called [tag:font-size]?), to TeX dimensions (for which we have [tag:dimensions]), and last, to the nebulous size of symbols/images/tables/other constructs of variable extent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [tag:preview]: Refers either to the `preview` *package*, to the `preview-latex` *tool* (part of AUCTeX) to previewing *parts* of a TeX file, or to previewing the *entire* document.  None of these really has their own tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [tag:notes]: Used both for questions concerning *annotations*, and those concerning *lecture notes* or the like.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's some, but not all of the undefined tags, which I chose just by scanning the list looking for those without a wiki and which seemed like they would be confusing if I wanted to find a particular topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think we should split these as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [tag:size]: create a new tag [tag:sizing] with synonyms [tag:size], [tag:table-size], [tag:image-size], and [tag:picture-size].  Split the existing [tag:size] appropriately among these and the existing tags.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [tag:preview]: create a new tag [tag:previewing] for actual previewing (either part or whole), and have [tag:preview] refer only to the package (which seems to be the practice here).  Create another new tag [tag:preview-latex] and make it synonymous with [tag:auctex].  Then split the existing [tag:preview] appropriately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [tag:notes]: we clearly need both an [tag:annotation] tag and a [tag:lecture-notes] tag, though I'm not sure that the latter one wouldn't just be a subset of [tag:beamer].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, all of these should be properly wikied.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would do all this myself except that I don't know how to do it without bumping every question to the front page; I assume I'd need to ask a moderator to use the appropriate tools.

It's purely a stylistic question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, the answers that were given before closure actually do (some of them) address a TeX means of dealing with the underlying issue, but on-topic answers don't make the question on-topic, just as novel answers don't make a duplicate question unique (if I recall this is a current topic too).  This aspect of the nature of the question makes it something of an [XY problem](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2449/575), with the added twist that Y is off-topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another connection is with the [similar problem with MathJaX](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/272/575), where several answers agree that at least a significant part of that genre of question is off-topic, and moreover is explicitly on-topic elsewhere.  MathJaX questions are arguable in the same way, in that even installation and troubleshooting questions (as discussed by Martin Scharrer's answer) are analogous to such questions about installing and troubleshooting a TeX distribution that *are* on topic here...but when applied to MathJaX they are not, because the tool is fundamentally *not* TeX even if it accepts some TeX code.  And likewise here, the mathematical style question is fundamentally *not* TeX, even if it admits some TeX solutions (that may not even be appropriate!  What if it's a journal or university style?).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think the usual thing that's done for questions like this is to ask the q'ner to refine their post to the point that it is on-topic, specific, and answerable to their satisfaction.  However, what if their question *really is* &quot;should I use two notations for sets?&quot;; in that case, I think that it *really belongs* on a math forum because it's *really not* a TeX question, even if by virtue of being a typographic language TeX sometimes has opinions about matters of style."

Probably, you can start by fixing the tag wiki to be more specific.  More drastically, there's possibly room for a tag called, say, [tag:drawing-vectors] to absorb the second kind of question.

I recall when I looked at the Wikipedia page when I was first was learning how to use LaTeX, it was extremely messy and difficult to read on a smaller monitor. It may be *cleaner* that checkmarks be used instead (like on certain product pages on amazon). This also makes it easier for the viewer to compare instead of scrolling up and down when comparing between two different editors.&#xD;&#xA; 2. The one on TSE could be restricted to the more popular ones, i.e. the ones that have already been suggested = the ones that people actually use.

[Back in Feb 2011](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/77505/168244), the reputation system was updated to award a suggestor with +2 reputation in the case of an approved Suggested Edit.

The regular daily reputation cap applies, and the total cap is 1,000. Like any other reputation, the +2 is deleted if the edited post is ever deleted.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - When a suggested edit is rejected, no penalty is given.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A quick aggregation of [your reputation](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/13907/papiro?tab=reputation) lists at least 484 edits still &quot;visible&quot; from non-deleted posts (out of around 579 post-related reputation earnings). While 484 visible, approved Suggested Edits drops you back to earning *only* 968 reputation, you may have reached the 1,000 rep-cap over all time (512 approved + 484 visible - 500 maximum ~ 500 posts = 1,000 reputation). Once you've reached this, there's no more bonuses from Suggested Edits.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is just my guess... `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;While this may seem anti-climatic, continue to help improve the site!&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/sub&gt;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The review history pages provide the useful picture on what kind of reviewing activity is happening.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Would having a statement of good reviewing practice, perhaps as a [meta-tag:faq]  question, be useful?  It could explicitly discourage over-frequent use of the &quot;No Action Needed&quot; button on first-post reviews. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My guess is that the SX team would be reluctant to implement the honeypot for this site yet, since the overall level of review activity is relatively low.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If that's Papiro you have in mind say openly that you have Papiro in mind. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is not a good way to discuss matters, since you are observing one user's behavior and trying to generalize it to all other users with another terrible, terrible system called Honeypot which is shifting from hereditary monarchy to only elected monarchy which is again nothing but a monarchy (since you have to agree with the majority of the closing votes). I don't know why this is even considered as a system in the first place. But one of the amazing feats of TeX.SX is that if someone comes up with a solid argument, previous opinions and their owners do respect the right(er) argument and change their mind with an impressive attitude almost always in a fun way. What this SO honeypot thingy is offering is to kill that feat and obey to what the top guys think.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You are for example closing questions too fast occasionally (I don't need to make a case for it anyway, which is again my point because I'm addressing you directly) but I don't need to ask a question and say should we introduce another review system with a time limit etc. because that would be wrong. Well, instead I propose that we quit using the review system completely because the system is broken in every aspect and amplifies conflicts but not because of your or a few other users. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My opinion: is that we have enough site reviewers (maybe too many lately) and everybody is imposing a certain way on the newcomers which is not good at all. A mild consensus is OK but pushing new users around is not good with the automated welcome scripts and other stuff. Maybe we don't need to welcome the new users that much. Maybe we were better off with occasional pushes if needed. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If we need to talk to Papiro then we ask a moderator to invite in the chatroom, instead of calling in the indirect mod-hammers to punish. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Papiro is just an example, I don't care too much about this review nonsense to be honest. The more reviews we do, the worse the newcomer experience becomes. Because this thing is taken a little too seriously. We might need to leave the new users alone for a while. They are not stupid per se and are not in need of strict guidance. They are just new and that's about it. If they stick around they get the main idea by screwing up a few times and that's OK too. It looks terrible when a user slightly makes a mistake and 4-5 nannies jump on the new user for fixing this and that, oh image is wrong oh your name is not needed, oh that thing with your thanks is not ok.

However, voting patterns on the different sites vary, and here we pride ourselves on up voting a lot on both questions and answers, and down voting very sparingly. For example, in my two years or so on the site, I've cast 4187 up votes and only 16 down votes, and many of the other high reputation users have similar patterns. (For example, [egreg](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4427/egreg) has 19,007 up votes and only 22 down votes at time of writing.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So down voting here is really infrequent by most users, and we generally prefer to comment rather than down vote for the reasons you suggest. Also most of us reserve down votes to answers that are simply wrong rather than less ideal than some other answer.  Learning this culture, however, takes some time and perhaps overt instruction by other users.  When I've received down votes in the past, I've often left a comment explicitly asking for a reason.  If I see what appears to be a fair answer that has received a down vote I might leave a comment myself asking why.  Sometimes people reply, and sometimes other people reply saying &quot;I didn't down vote you, but perhaps ... is the problem&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So if you do get down voted, don't worry too much about it, and leave a comment asking for explanation. At best, you might get a response; at worst, you might make people think twice the next time they down vote without commenting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;	" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Would this also become a possible feature request?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- When you increase an existing bounty, how does that affect the existing bounty? Do you extend the bounty period anew to the traditional 7-day tenure or does it stay the same?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Do you notify the community of such a change in bounty by bumping the question to Top Questions list or not? If not, how would an increase in bounty attract more attention to the question?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Does the new bounty only affect new answers, or does it also pertain to answers that existing during the first (lower) bounty? Here's a question with some reference to that: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2124/5764&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Would an increase be allowed arbitrarily (from 100 to 150 rep, say) or should it adhere to the doubling of the current system (from 100 to 200, say)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sure, all of the above points may have valid and justifiable answers. However, an easy alternative would be to just wait until the bounty period is over, and issue a new one&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;. The network is set up to deal with that, and [some](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/65683/top-investors) [users][1] have already done this multiple times.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;...that is at least double the amount of the previous one because, like gravity, it's the law.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/JWHN7.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

While the same holds on [Meta.SO](http://meta.stackoverflow.com) - where the separation between main-and-meta is more apparent since each has their own reputation system - a generic network-wide setup is probably why it works this way. Another motivation behind this site-specific tag markdown is that it may be possible (in general) to have duplicate tags across the two components, however unlikely. As an example, consider &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Main: [tag:scope] - referencing &quot;the context within which a variable name or other identifier is valid and can be used, or within which a declaration has effect&quot;; and&#xD;&#xA;- Meta: [meta-tag:scope] - referencing whether questions are on- or off-topic&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;or perhaps&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Main: [tag:mwe] - about the [`mwe` package](http://ctan.org/pkg/mwe), which helps in the creation of Minimal Working Examples; and&#xD;&#xA;- Meta: [meta-tag:mwe] - an abbreviation for Minimal Working Example.

Comments and critiques always welcome! The email address you may use to contact me is given at the bottom of the titlepage of the package's user guide.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm getting close to releasing a package, which I'm calling **selnolig**, that lets users suppress automatically typographic ligatures for selected words and word patterns, for both German and English language documents. For German language documents, the focus in on breaking up various f-ligatures -- not only the &quot;usual five&quot; f-ligatures (ff, fi, fl, ffi, and ffl), but also also ligatures for the ft, fft, fb, ffb, fh, ffh, fj, ffj, fk, and ffk character pairs and triples -- that cross morpheme boundaries. For English language documents, the list of rules for breaking up f-ligatures is much shorter than it is for German documents; to make up for this, for English documents ligature suppression rules are also provided for &quot;historic ligatures&quot; (e.g., ct, st, sp, and sk) and &quot;discretionary ligatures&quot; (e.g., th, as, is, us, at, et, and a few more).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All of the package's files may be found at https://github.com/micoloretan/selnolig. The package's main files are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The **user guide** is in a file called `selnolig.pdf`. Additional pdf files contains lists of German and English language words for which ligatures should be suppressed (and are indeed suppressed if selnolig is loaded!). The source code for the pdf files is contained in files with extension `.tex`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The files required to let the package do its work are five style files -- `selnolig.sty`, `selnolig-english-patterns.sty`, `selnolig-german-patterns.sty`, ``selnolig-english-hyphex.sty`, and `selnolig-german-hyphex.sty` -- as well as a file named `selnolig.lua`; the latter file contains the package's lua code. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To start using the package on your system, be sure to download the five .sty files and the .lua file to a directory in your TeX distribution's search path and to update TeX's filename database. If you place the file `selnolig.pdf` in a directory that's in TeX's search path, you can access the documentation by typing &quot;texdoc selnolig&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The package is almost ready for official release to the CTAN. However, there are still a couple of bugs that need to be fumigated to make the package ready for show time. Nevertheless, I believe the package is already quite usable and useful. I'd therefore like to encourage LaTeX users who are interested in matters related to typographic ligatures -- and especially their selective suppression -- to download the package's files and give them a thorough workout on their own documents. Comments and critiques are most welcome; I provide an email address in the user guide to be used to send me questions, comments, and critiques.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Experts in lua and programming for luatex are especially encouraged to peruse the list of bugs I've compiled in a section of the user guide. Suggestions for improvements and outright bug fixes would be most welcome. Of course, any and all further feedback about the package, such as about its choices of ligature suppression rules, will also be much appreciated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This package wouldn't have been possible without the various answers and suggestions I've received in the TeX.SE group to questions I posed about how one might go about suppressing ligatures selectively. To all of you who provided such contributions, I hereby express my sincere thanks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Happy TeXing!&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'll reflect on a couple from personal experience:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- You're too slow to respond.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; The OP doesn't wait long enough for you to respond and asks a new [follow-up question](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2117/5764) before you can get around smoothing out anything further to help.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- You forget.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; This happens, believe it or not. Some days/weeks are more busy that others and you don't get to visit the site that often. Suddenly a week goes by and what you planned to do in terms of updating a solution has fallen by the wayside.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Perhaps a comment reminder could be issued in such an instance. You could also *delete* your non-response comment and re-issue it (with the appropriate `@&lt;user&gt;` notification, if necessary).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- You read the comment and don't know how to solve the &quot;updated question&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Uggghh. Yes, we're not all part of the [`!!/battle`-clan](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2923/5764) and therefore do not possess infinite guru-like LaTeX-foo...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- You feel that the &quot;updated question&quot; is almost completely irrelevant to the original post, making an updated solution seem out-of-place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; While this might seem bizarre from the OP's perspective. After all, they are the one looking for an answer to *their* problem(s), and may not necessarily care about the longevity of their question nor it's place on the network. However, sometimes a comment-request might require a completely different working around the existing solution. Most notably such comment-questions occur when the OP doesn't include full [MWE](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764)s. It is usually followed by requests to avoid certain packages or propose alternate environments that support their needs...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whatever it may be, consider the non-response to be human.

Typical example is the almost unanimously dropping the use of downvotes here.

It's a very friendly place, where we talk about virtually everything - even TeX, sometimes! I decided to give it a try and add a few &quot;extra features&quot; to our chatroom, and the result is presented in this meta thread.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I was planning to implement a bot and find a way to wrap it into the SE infrastructure. Thankfully, there is already a project from [Zirak](http://stackoverflow.com/users/617762/zirak) named [SO-ChatBot](https://github.com/Zirak/SO-ChatBot), a bot written in JavaScript which runs in one's browser session. I played with it a little and decided to tweak it (apart from my lack of JS skills) in order to make it more TeXy. The result is *Psmith*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Introduction&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Psmith* is a SO chatroom bot based on Zirak's original code which runs under my credentials and within my browser session. If I'm not in the room or if I didn't deliberately trigger the startup script, the bot won't respond. I'm in charge of the bot's execution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The name&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We first thought of Jeeves, but it's taken. Then our next attempt was with Wooster, but it wasn't catchy enough. I thought of Jarvis, but it's too Stark-based. `:)` Then Andrew suggested [Psmith](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psmith), and we all approved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Available commands&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our bot recognizes the following commands:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/answer question`: an experimental command where the bot tries to actually answer your question. The database is still tiny, we are working on it.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/basketball`: fetches the last news from basketball and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/battle`: displays and compares the daily reputations of the titans, egreg and David Carlisle.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/choose opt1, opt2, ... , optn`: chooses one of the elements from the given comma-separated list.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/cricket`: fetches the last news from cricket and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/ctan`: displays the last entries available in the official CTAN announcement RSS feed.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/eightball question`: replies the question with a `yes/no` answer.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/fencing`: fetches the last news from fencing and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help`: displays the general help.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help command`: displays the help related to the specific `command` commands.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/list`: lists all the bot's commands.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/reputation userid`: displays the reputation of the user whose id is `userid`&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/song`: list the song _Psmith_'s master, [Paulo](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/3094/paulo-cereda), is currently listening to.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/texdef arguments`: runs Martin Scharrer's amazing [`texdef`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/texdef) tool on the provided parameters.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/translate from lang1 to lang2 text`: translates `text` from `lang1` to `lang2`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Potential issues&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This bot replies under my name, with the **Psmith, the TeX bot** prefix. Most of the commands are asynchronous, so the bot might take a while to answer. If too many requests are made, the bot might flood the chat and I get suspended for spam. `:)` So, take it easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why am I posting this text?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/116589/are-bots-specifically-allowed-or-prohibited-in-stack-exchange-chatrooms&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [...] Finally, a bot will be held against abuse standards just like any other user. If it &quot;behaves&quot; inappropriately, we're not going to like that. This holds both as far as the actual chatting (content/flooding) goes, as well as considering communication with the server (if you poll the server for new messages every 50ms, that's going to get you banned pretty quickly).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; That said, we're all programmers here, and this is the kind of &quot;exercise&quot; we like. So we'll probably not come after you with pitchforks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; But just to make it clear: We can, at any time and with or without any reason, say &quot;We don't want that anymore; turn it off now.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't leave the bot unsupervised, at least for long periods of time. That said, I'm in the chatroom almost 24h/day, and I monitor the bot's activities and replies. I can shutdown the little rascal if needed, at any time and moment. Every command is triggered at my side of the connection, in my machine, including `texdef` running on my TeX distro. In other words, the JS script adds hooks to the messages, intercepts certain patterns and then forwards requests to my local machine for processing. Then, the reply happens as if I were typing that message.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As [balpha](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/115866) said in his reply, it's a good exercise. `:)` Let's see how it goes. If the SO team thinks this is a terrible idea or if it opens a dangerous precedent, by all means, let me know. I can easily shutdown everything, by simply closing my browser. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By the way, thanks to [Aarthi](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/165582) for being so kind in helping me with the procedures to announce the bot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks a lot. `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Our methods would probably not work in other sites, say Math.SX or Spanish.SX. Sometimes, when I hear the words &quot;SE policy&quot; said in the wild, the walking hammers from The Wall come to my mind. Don't get this wrong, but I feel it sounds like an imposition: share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie. I prefer to look at the SE policy as an inspiration for communites to work with a predefined set of suggestions and, as time goes by, work on their own methods, adapted to their own reality.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMHO the key here is to learn how the TeX.sx gears work as a single component. We are known to be a very friendly community, from TeXperts to newbies. Even what happens to be our policy is treated as guidelines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I don't see anything wrong with being nice, polite or grateful to any help received. I love writing something along these lines in my own questions because I really appreciate the time and effort put in each question. And I usually &quot;sign&quot; my answers in this site with &quot;hope it helps! `:)`&quot; or similar simply because I really want the OP to feel welcome, in the sense of &quot;hi, maybe my attempt can help with your question!&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem here, as I see, is that we are dealing with minor edits. I'm not used to play with the review system, but sometimes we see some edits that are considered minor, like some punctuation issues or a &quot;proper capitalization&quot; of a sentence. Edits are surely welcome, but we can't forget that:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. edits usually update the activity of a thread, that is, if you edit a 2-year-old question or answer, it will be featured in the front page and more recent threads (considering creation timestamp) will be placed in a lower rank in the list;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. edits have the &quot;moral duty&quot; of going towards better comprehension of the thread as a whole; and&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. edits cannot drastically change the original text, for better or for worse.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I already removed *thank you*'s in the past, but not as the only reason for an edit. Nowadays, I'm more in the *live and let live*  edit philosophy. Of course, everybody has different opinions about this, but:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- edits that *only* remove *thank you* notes might be considered a minor edit, hence rejected;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- edits that remove *thank you* notes or other minor edits in old threads are strongly discouraged, and will certainly be rejected; and&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- edits that don't improve the text do not add value, hence rejected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, it's imperative to *always* leave a comment on why you edited a question or answer. We have some predefined text building blocks in http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/430 which might help.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd keep *thank you*'s. It doesn't hurt. If it's a major edit (usually code formatting), it's up to every editor to decide if a *thank you* note should be removed, but we cannot be picky on editing a text for the sole purpose of beating the OP with a stick just because of an act of kindness.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Internet is already a hateful place.

This means that there is a quite strict format enforced here. Please post an answerable **question** using the [*Ask Question*](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ask) button (after [searching for existing similar questions](http://tex.stackexchange.com/search) first of course) or post an solution for an existing question as an **answer** post. Please **do not start discussions** or ask off-topic questions. You can also post **comments** to questions and answers to provide feedback. At first you can only comment on your own questions and their answers, but after you have gained a reputation of 50 you can comment everywhere. There is also [**chat**](http://chat.stackexchange.com/) for more casual posts. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Questions and answers can receive positive and negative **votes** to indicate their quality. Answers are sorted after the number of votes so that the better ones appear first. The votes that answers and questions receive also increase or decrease the **reputation** of the author of the post. With increasing reputation users will receive more and more [**privileges**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges) to do more things on the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The most useful **answer that solved your problem** should be **accepted** by clicking the tick/checkmark symbol to the left of the answer. This shows other people that this is &quot;the correct answer&quot; in your opinion and assigns points to the answerer and also you. The question will then be handled as &quot;done&quot; which is important for the housekeeping of the site. However, new answers can still be added and the question asker can accept a different answer at any time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* It is highly recommended to add a compilable, but [**minimal working example (MWE)**](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that) that illustrates your problem. This way other users can compile it themselves, analyze error messages more closely and also easily implement and test their solutions before posting them. This allows also for full, compilable examples to be posted in the answers which are very helpful for the question asker and all other people with the same problem. Note that in (La)TeX, issues are often dependent on the  packages used, and other people won't be able to provide much help if they don't know which packages you are using. Another reason for constructing a MWE is that you will often discover the source of your problem yourself just by trying to construct the example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Post should be **formatted** correctly using the simple **[Markdown](http://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help) format**. This ensures that the posts are easy to read. Here the most important formatting styles used on this site:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * Format *(La)TeX code* as code blocks by indenting them with four spaces. The `{}` button (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;) will do this for you.&#xD;&#xA;    * Format *inline code* using backticks, e.g. write `` `\somecode` `` to produce `\somecode`. Instead of typing the backticks, you can also highlight `\somecode` and use the `{}` button (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;).  &#xD;&#xA;This format should also be used for single macro and environment names, package and class names as well as command line executables.&#xD;&#xA;    * Please do not use &quot;here&quot; and &quot;this&quot; links to other questions and answers  but insert the link directly. The site will format it automatically.&#xD;&#xA;    * Error messages should be formatted as code blocks, not as quotations because they usually contain (La)TeX code which is more readable in this format.&#xD;&#xA;    * Quotes from manuals, website etc. as well as example text results (not code) should be formatted using quotation blocks (i.e. place a `&gt;` before the lines)&#xD;&#xA;    * Images should only be uploaded using the &quot;Image&quot; icon (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;G&lt;/kbd&gt;) which uses a special, time-less http://imgur.com/ account. Including images using a different way, like uploading it manually to imgur.com or using a different provider, might lead to broken images after a while and is not recommended. Please ensure that the image is in a suitable size (not too big or too small) and resolution and only shows relevant things without large margins.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Please **avoid opening and closing lines** like &quot;Hi&quot; (already automatically removed) and &quot;Thanks&quot;. Salutations, greetings and expressions of gratitude are already implied and only distract from the real question. Also the first two lines of the post will be displayed below the question title in the overview page and such lines will reduce the amount of useful information being displayed there. The author name is already displayed on the right site below the post, so there is no need for an extra signature line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* This is a serious, international site for high quality content. Please **write in English** and avoid [leetspeak](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet) or similar things even if they are common in other places of the Internet. Non-native English speakers are very welcome and your English doesn't have to be perfect, but posts should show some basic effort. This will make your post readable to most people and greatly improves the chance of getting good answers. The fact that all posts are editable also means that other users may correct your English for you if necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Please **post rough ideas, suggestions and similar material as comments** and reserve answers for actual solutions. You can edit your posts anytime to e.g. add more details to your question or to adjust your answer. Do not use long comment threads for longer or even medium sized discussions. Use  [chat](http://chat.stackexchange.com/) instead. You can even open your own chat room if you want. Please note that everything here is open and all your chat messages will be archived and accessible to others (as long the room is not restricted by a moderator).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* You can **notify other users** by adding comments to their posts or by adding their names after an `@`, i.e. `@username` in your comment. Note this only works for the first user mentioned this way and only if that user wrote a previous comment for the same post. The post author is always notified. Notifications also work in  chat if the user posted a message there not too long ago.

They get a notification of the edit at a time over which they have no control and have to decide whether to accept it or revert it. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In a case such as this where the meaning has been changed, reverting is the correct thing to do. The fact that someone felt the need to edit may be an indication of some unclarity or grammatical errors in the text so then an OP may wish to come back later to edit the question at a convenient time, but certainly in my own case if one of my answers is incorrectly edited I don't feel any obligation to _fix the edit_ although I might fix the _answer_ if it does in fact need fixing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the answer to the question of what you should do if an edit is reverted, is (normally) nothing, leave it to the original author to fix, or (sometimes) if it is clear that just one part of the edit was wrong, you could try to re-submit a fixed edit."

I apologize if it appears misleading after reading further on and invite you to find a better 'title'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And now to the core of the problem: AFAIK, questions that could be tagged {please-do-my-homework-for-me} are not exactly welcome. We tolerate them, but usually ask for a minimal code snippet from the OP (in some cases of course this does not apply). It seems to me that questions of this kind, where a figure is posted and the user just waits for someone to have mercy on him/her and do the job, have become more frequent. Same for questions where it is clear that the OP just didn't bother to search for an existing answer. So far, so good. It could come from a totally disgruntled student who is in the middle of a crunch and can't line up two words that make sense after a 72 hour shift - and this is the last hope, but it could also be a lazy one, who just slaps the question/picture on the site. Either way, we are not here to judge, but to help. So, what I really would like to sort out is to have a proper guideline for these situations and to avoid the kind of totally schizophrenic attitude that I recently witnessed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For reference see [Exhibit A](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/121026/tikz-drawing-a-ring-with-nodes): The OP just posted a picture asking to have it done in `TikZ`. In return he/she was asked to post some code. Meanwhile the question got some close votes and at the same time comments with hints to solve the problem... Now, IMHO the drawing is not particularly challenging to do in `TikZ`, still, before the OP did post anything to show his/her efforts, the question was answered... So what is the right way to do it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ask for MWE and *wait* for it (we have 'answer the unanswered' sessions quite regularly, so if the question is 'abandoned', it could be answered then)&#xD;&#xA; - vote close (into what category of close reasons should it be put then?)&#xD;&#xA; - answer it anyway&#xD;&#xA; - introduce a **{do-this-for-me-I-don't-have-the-time-for-whatever-reason}** tag&#xD;&#xA; - other (please specify)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please cast your vote! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So I have a few suggestions here for you that might give somebody a good idea how to spend a useful hour building the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Clean up and improve community wiki questions, especially those tagged [tag:big-list].  *http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/341/how-to-manage-big-lists* has good suggestions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Ask a good question yourself, even if you know the answer. For example, from @Caramdir, http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2044/how-to-install-a-current-version-of-tikz&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Help with unanswered questions (old questions without upvoted answers).  You can even place a small bounty to rub people the right way into providing a good answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Suggest, approve, edit and extend tag wikis. Some popular tags will certainly appreciate more love.&#xD;&#xA; - Retag (carefully) old questions to better reflect our current tagging policy. (Take it easy though, as retagged questions are bumped to the top of the queue.)&#xD;&#xA; - Improve the formatting of new questions (code, images, links).&#xD;&#xA; - Nag [meta.SO][3] and staff with our favourite [feature-requests][4] and [bugs][5].  For example, if you can suggest a good [404/captcha image][1] (also [on meta][2]). &#xD;&#xA; - Promote the site to attract new users, and by extension, questions.   Some ideas:&#xD;&#xA;   - Run a poll asking &quot;Where did you learn about TeX &amp; Friends?&quot; This is to see whether the website has a sufficient exposure besides the broad SO/SE community. I would guess that basically everybody came from there, which neatly leads to...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   - &quot;Do you have a friend or relative that frequents CTAN mailing list, or an IRC channel dedicated exclusively to LaTeX? Invite them today and win bonus 50 reputation!&quot; (okay, probably without the fake rep award). But you get the idea. There are communities that already serve a similar goal as TeX-SE (I used to ask non-obvious stuff on #latex on irc.freenode.net) Perhaps some of them will be interested to give it a try and see whether they like it.&#xD;&#xA;    - Inexperienced users are also likely to be interested in what we try to do here &amp;mdash; it's no big secret that hunting info on some obscure package/style file, or trying to find a package that &quot;does foo with bar&quot; can be daunting for TeX beginners.   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    - Share a question on Twitter to spread the word.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have more ideas, please share them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5262/competition-time-design-an-error-page/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/656/404-captcha-error-images&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/feature-request&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/bug" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I guess one reason per answer would be best as we can then vote on them.

The suggestion there is that such questions should be flagged for deletion, as they are not really useful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Questions which turn out to require a package update could reasonably be answered rather than being closed at all. It's arguable that these may actually be pretty general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Out-and-out bug reports could be added to the help as a 'do not ask about' point, as well as potentially having a custom close reason.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Over time, we can of course alter what reasons we feel are 'most common'. So the list will not be set in stone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The 'custom text' closure reason&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's worth noting that the 'Other (add a comment explaining what is wrong)' sub-choice for off-topic is meant to enable us to give a _specific_ reason for closing a question.

That gives the opportunity to give a specific reason for closing, which will hopefully be clear and useful to the questioner.

We can then revisit this idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the same time, the [generic closure text](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3632/text-for-off-topic-closure) is useful, but probably in the 'wrong' place.

A few available tools (`ottobib`, `Mendeley`, `Refworks`, `zotero`) may help but it looks to me that they are still limited in terms of providing exact reference information. For instance, it is sometimes hard to chose among `@book`, `@inbook`, `@incollection`, `@collection` and available databases are decently vague on this. Also, first names of authors, annotators, translators is most always missing. What I am thinking of (it may exist already) is then a social network oriented database mainly in a bibtex sense that could be modified, updated and discussed by users in a way similar to what happens on this `http://tex.stackexchange.com` site where users may correct other users' messages.

(That might be an interesting bipartite graph&#xD;&#xA;for another day.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the average number of answers per question is A then each question will generate (on average) A(A+1)/2 edges joining vertices (users) in the graph (counting self-answers, not counting comments or edits). This allows multiple edges between vertices (which happens&#xD;&#xA;frequently on TeX.SE).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are about 43000 questions and about 32000 users.  Since each edge joins two vertices (users) the average valence of a vertex (user) is about&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2*(number of edges)/(number of vertices) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;= A(A+1)(number of questions)/(number of users)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;= A(A+1)*43,000/32,000&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd guess that A is between 1 and 2, which implies an average valence between 3 and 8. Of course the distribution is far from uniform!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whether or not to count comments or edits as creating a connection could be easily explored by tweaking the software that builds the graph input from the database.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A database query generating a 43,000 line csv file with one line for each question listing its asker and answerers would provide all the data needed to build the graph. Since I don't know SQL I can't follow up `@texenthusiast`s hope that a new query at http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/new&#xD;&#xA;might provide what's wanted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="Adding to Werner's great explanation (coincidentally, it actually was me who wrote the text building block that he's quoting `:)`), here's another angle:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One of my favorite aspects about tex.sx and the Stack Exchange system in general is its Wiki-like quality:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Venn diagram: Wiki, Digg/Reddit, Blog, Forum][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;(We're the asterisk in the middle!)&lt;/sup&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We prefer a quite particular style of questions and asking – the most important aspect of which presumably are [minimal working examples][3] – in order to make every single question maximally helpful for other users. I might even go there and say that for me, it's almost more important to make questions applicable to a wider audience, i.e. more people with the same or a very similar problem, than helping the user who asked the question. The good thing, however, is that if you help &quot;every&quot; user out there, you'll also help the user who had the problem in the first place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So this is really an essential concept that I try to keep in mind whenever I act on tex.sx, no matter if I ask a question, answer one, or edit posts. This also is the reason why we're on a perpetual hunt for duplicate questions: All the information and help for one problem should be in one place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Coming back to your question about &quot;thanks&quot;: &quot;Personal&quot; bits like that are not really relevant for an abstract problem that aims to be maximally widely applicable.&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Some personal background for the problem, e.g. for identifying [XY-problems][4], can be useful, but it might be a good approach to separate this from the core question, like I attempted to in http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/25701/bibtex-vs-biber-and-biblatex-vs-natbib. But really, there's no general rule for that. For phrases truly irrelevant for the problem (i.e. &quot;thanks&quot;), however, it's definitely better to leave them out, even though it might feel to you like you're being rude. Rest assured that **the best form of thankfulness that you can show to our community is asking well-prepared questions with MWEs and helping with other tasks**, which you'll gradually be introduced to [as your reputation increases][5].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Nonetheless, I feel like our community has a personal feel to it, just from conversations in the comments, in chat, and our blog. Besides that, many members (if not all?) have their characteristic style of answering; two examples that come to my mind and that actually happen to be middle-range rep users are [Paulo][6], with his abundantly good-willed and duck-heavy answers, or [ガベージコレクタ][7] [_or whatever their current user name may be_], with their amazing, uncalled-for, randomly animated PSTricks answers.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/vsYuA.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/about &quot;Venn diagram: Wiki, Digg/Reddit, Blog, Forum&quot;&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2449/what-does-xy-problem-mean&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/3094/paulo-cereda&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/19356/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

They are all geared to people in the `TeX` world through venues ran by `TeX` or by a `TeX` community.  This only draws attention to those already in the loop.  How would this accomplish increasing `TeX` use when it is to the people who already use it?  For instance, `certiport.com` is promoting a competition for skills in a product they don't make.  The competition is promoted to a wide audience base not just experts or enthusiasts in Microsoft products.  Additionally, the competition is held at venue (think of the TUG conference) not just hey make something, post it, and vote on it (all online).  There are high schoolers to professionals (barring they aren't Microsoft employees) who compete.  That is much more diverse audience.  The audience with `TeX` is mostly university/college level and the population at the universities/colleges who use some form of `TeX` isn't that huge (at least this is what I witness).    &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.certiport.com/portal/common/htmllibrary/mswwcompetition/rules.html" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Before going for a competition**: The whole educational system starting from schools and colleges should have a mandatory/elective `Typography:LaTeX course`(atleast beginner level) and children/students should be [encouraged to submit in LaTeX homework](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/698/15717) etc.. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**2. Even before that**: The `TeX` teaching infrastructure (teachers who know them/management/webportal) , [course web portals](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/106229/15717) and even the presentation used to teach LaTeX should be in `beamer/powerdot/slides..` not in `.ppt/x` which is sometimes a irony that &quot;TeX is better than Word&quot; delivered in `.doc` and `.ppt`.&#xD;&#xA; and finally the whole lab/college/secretaries/administration going open source which is very much going on in some countries.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**3**. Any competition needs some `skilled people` to gather and share their expertise which can be harnessed during early school days not after [30 yrs avg age](http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2005-2/story-survey/tex_survey_rep.pdf).Hence  mini-competition's should start in schools/colleges before expanding to great heights.In that TeX would spread over [wide professions](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/a/1626/15717). Notice many professions use TeX not only in academia.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**&quot;Just imagine if that was for TeX ? This could be a way for TeX to break more into the mainstream&quot;.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have grow steadily and systematically  with the above mentioned points on harnessing TeX from school level onwards over years and thereby we get the prospective TeX olympiad people for future. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Remember `TeX` is not learnt/mastered in one day conference or few days competition, instead of wasting resources(money/manpower on useless things) we need donate the money towards the TUG and it's affiliate projects upcoming projects eg: [LaTeX3](http://latex-project.org/latex3.html) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note: MS was getting free testing for it's software, nurturing some future interns etc.. and getting some feedback while this so called competition is going on.

However, on second thought I share Jubob's concern that [tag:standard-classes] is likely to be overused, so I suggest to restrict the use of this tag to the &quot;inner workings&quot; of the standard classes (similar to the [tag:latex-kernel] tag). The tag wiki excerpts could read as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; {standard-classes} is about the inner workings of the standard classes&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `article`, `book`, and `report`. Do not add this tag simply because&#xD;&#xA;&gt; you use one of these classes; instead, choose the tags appropriate for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; your specific problem.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; {ams-classes} is about the AMS classes `amsart`, `amsbook`, and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `amsproc`. When using this tag, add the tags appropriate for your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; specific problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Following this definition, it is likely that some of the questions featuring [tag:article] or [tag:report] at the  moment should simply have these tags removed instead of replaced by [tag:standard-classes].

Sometimes we don't let it become fun. I don't know how that mechanism works.

These question incite thought and a lot of participation from the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As Joseph Wright said in his post, that discussion is in chat, but from my viewing of what happens in chat, that is more banter with `TeX`, jokes, etc throwing in mix.  When a discussion post is truly `TeX` related and useful to the community, I think it deserves to be on either meta or main site.  However, some of these discussion questions are okay for the main while others are migrated to meta even though none of the questions fit the mold for meta or the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only question we should have to answer is where do useful thought provoking, unanswerable, discussion type post belong?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;I think there is one problem with dedicated chat rooms.  Only the avid users will be checking in on those rooms.  With many of the great discussion post, we will have brand new users come propose great answers to these discussions with that being their first post.  I think that would lost if the site decides to dedicate chat for those type of posts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Obviously I believe site related discussions belong on meta no matter what the outcome of this thread. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From the recent posting on meta, I think we (as a community) need to determine where discussion questions belong ignoring the issue isn't the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3773/what-exactly-do-we-believe-about-community-wiki-posts&#xD;&#xA; - http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3746/what-exactly-defines-too-broad-of-a-question&#xD;&#xA; - http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3756/can-cw-status-be-changed-by-a-voting-process&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These recent questions were all spawned because of the discussion in the comments about closing, moving, or making http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/128454/are-there-any-open-research-problems-in-the-world-of-tex a community wiki.  I casted the first close vote to move the thread to meta because my question http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3723/a-latex-competition-to-promote-latex-to-the-masses which wasn't about the site was moved to meta.  So my reason was it was a discussion question, no answer, but still `TeX` related so it was moved.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When will we seriously consider determining a location for these types of questions to avoid all this noise in the future?  If we make judgement calls per post, each person who doesn't like the decision can post these repeat type of questions since they will all be about a different post and thus not a duplicate because the previous post in question were in relation to a different thread.

A canonical question is usually a question that shows up *a lot* as a duplicate (i.e. the same question in varying forms is asked a lot by new users). As a community, we've often decided that it's helpful to have a single comprehensive answer or set of answers to which all new duplicates can be referred.

I wanted to &quot;alert&quot; the community to the issue which is, as far as I understood it: software from SourceForge might only be available with adware or malware in the future, it's already the case for Filezilla. It is depicted in its full glory on [reddit](http://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/1kxuul/beware_of_sourceforge_downloads_new_owner_is/). Not that I mean to impose on everyone to read the thread of course! I just that I think it's a sign of the times (again, sort of, adware did vanish in the last couple of years imho) and it's worth mentioning on here, as some developers in the LaTeX community host their project on SourceForge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the case of [FileZilla](https://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=30240), the primary download option on its homepage links to SourceForge. So there are still alternative downloads available. But the problem is that—although I have not tested it myself—apparently the installer from SourceForge does not work when unchecking the additional software ([source](https://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;t=30240&amp;sid=d1aacf1c6b96a63aa9fa85ca670dfcd1&amp;start=15#p113915)) (not that I would advice anyone to &#xD;&#xA;use that installer anyway):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The SourceForge installer won't work for me on Windows 8 x64. when I click on the decline button for the sponsored product the installer quits without displaying any error message.

The URL contained unescaped colons. After&#xD;&#xA;having read the [RFC - Uniform Resource&#xD;&#xA;Identifier](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986) I hold that colons&#xD;&#xA;do not have to be escaped and that this is a bug in the&#xD;&#xA;stackexchange code, rather than a fault on the external resources'&#xD;&#xA;side.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Colons are listed as [reserved&#xD;&#xA;characters](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#page-12). The&#xD;&#xA;relevant section is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; URI producing applications should percent-encode data octets that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; correspond to characters in the reserved set unless these characters&#xD;&#xA;&gt; are specifically allowed by the URI scheme to represent data in that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; component.  If a reserved character is found in a URI component and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; no delimiting role is known for that character, then it must be&#xD;&#xA;&gt; interpreted as representing the data octet corresponding to that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; character's encoding in US-ASCII.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Take this URL:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    https://gitorious.org/context/context/source/b76759d73e6734cb014fe46da1f8521dcc9a8d71:metapost/context/base/mp-mlib.mpiv#L182-256&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to [the RFC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3) the colon&#xD;&#xA;belongs to the *path* part:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;       foo://example.com:8042/over/there?name=ferret#nose&#xD;&#xA;&gt;       \_/   \______________/\_________/ \_________/ \__/&#xD;&#xA;&gt;        |           |            |            |        |&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     scheme     authority       path        query   fragment&#xD;&#xA;&gt;        |   _____________________|__&#xD;&#xA;&gt;       / \ /                        &gt;       urn:example:animal:ferret:nose&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Furthermore, the path is of type&#xD;&#xA;[path-absolute](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3),&#xD;&#xA;which requires the syntax `path-absolute = &quot;/&quot; [ segment-nz *( &quot;/&quot;&#xD;&#xA;segment ) ]` with `segment-nz = 1*pchar` and `segment = *pchar` and&#xD;&#xA;`pchar = unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / &quot;:&quot; / &quot;@&quot;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This means, the path can contain all unreserved characters, encoded&#xD;&#xA;characters or colons, if I'm not mistaken.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Workaround&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the time being an URL shortener can be used and the shortened&#xD;&#xA;URL can be included. However, this is generally not desirable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Discussion&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't know why stackexchange alters the link in the first place.&#xD;&#xA;As far as I know, the parentheses enclose an URL, which is only&#xD;&#xA;valid if has been properly encoded by the user.

Days where you reach reputation cap have some of these entries listed as (0).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This approach will give you an up-to-date reflection of your current voting status. If you're not really concerned with an in-time calculation, the [Stack Exchange Data Explorer](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex) allows an interface to creating your own queries to extract the data, summarize and display them.

We schedule a time with the interviewee and everybody is invited to join the TeXtalk chatroom and submit questions. It's a very friendly conversation!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# I missed the interview! What do I do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not despair, post-interview questions and remarks are welcome! `:)` We usually wait a couple of days, then &quot;lock&quot; the interview. We want to give our members the opportunity to read the chatroom transcript and add their own remarks or even submit questions to the interviewee. The format is working marvellously well so far. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have a team of reviewers that put every bit of the interview in the correct order, so we can easily adjust the comments. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How is the next interviewee chosen?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we think it's time to have another interview (usually twice a month), we ask our interview committee to suggest names.

Text="I've notices several times people have been using `\usepackage{lipsum}` in answers as a space filler.  While this is great for demonstration purposes when the document is going to be immediately rendered, I doubt that most users go to the trouble of copying and pasting these examples and the compiling them.  Moreover, I think it is confusing to the casual user or &quot;googler&quot; who arrives at the site.  What does the community think about this one?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I agree that most of _us_ will copy and paste text and compile it directly.  The reason I raise the point is that on the first answer I received on this site, I saw the package and thought &quot;Hmmm, that must be doing what I want, and I bet the rest of that stuff is filler just to make this a complete example.&quot;  Fortunately, rather than jumping to insert `\lipsum` calls throughout my document, I looked up the `lipsum` package first, and then I realized what the real content of the answer is.  All I'm saying is you could instead just literally type &quot;Some filler text here.&quot; instead, or at least put a parenthetical statement at the end of your answer saying something like &quot;(the `lipsum` package is just for generating filler text)&quot;.  (Alternatively, you could just put `%generates filler text` above the `\usepackage` command or something)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, my point is not that this confuses me or even most people who would read this particular question, but casual nonmembers reaching this site from Google could end up on hour-long detours because of it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks for all of the discussion.

This is our current workflow for publishing an interview:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. We close the interview, limiting its beginning and end. In this step, I usually create the chatroom bookmark.&#xD;&#xA;2. I get the whole text from the interview and try to organize it by reordering the sentences to make it sound more linear.&#xD;&#xA;3. Once I have a preliminar text, our reviewers work on this draft.&#xD;&#xA;4. The reviewers return the text ready for publishing.&#xD;&#xA;5. We create a new blog post and add the content.&#xD;&#xA;6. I perform some checks on verbatim text, links and references.&#xD;&#xA;7. Once the interview is reviewed, I need to reformat it in order to comply with our dialogue guidelines (cf. http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2399/clearer-formatting-of-dialogue-in-textalk). I have a script that does this for me, so it's a semi-automatic process.&#xD;&#xA;8. The interview is published.&#xD;&#xA;9. I update our meta thread with the blog post and chatroom bookmark (cf. http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2545/textalk-interviews).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our blog runs on top of a Wordpress installation, provided by StackExchange. IMHO, this infrastructure works very well for  the majority of the network sites, but I'm afraid is does not work for us. At all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By default, Wordpress only allows a subset of HTML entities and it has the bad habit of removing some existing ones for the &quot;sake of simplicity&quot; (and it's usually wrong on its assumptions). It's *always* a pain to format the interview with the current scheme. Visual mode sucks, and HTML is not any better (interchange modes and you are in hell).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Markdown support is not good. And sometimes you are forced to use it with HTML (so no advantage of using Markdown at all). And again, things you type are still subjected to the good will of Wordpress.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I actually mean is, as it is, Wordpress does not offers us a good, simple way of typesetting interviews as we would like. There are some hacks and tricks to make them look as our heart desires, but they take a huge amount of time. And it's counter-intuitive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wish the blog infrastructure could be built on top of the SE framework instead of Wordpress. The Markdown support we have here is amazing and, even if we could not fully comply with our dialogue guidelines, it would be easier for everybody to collaboratively work on the text. At least less painful, for sure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not sure if the Powers That Be have any plans to improve the SE blog network. I was thinking if we could provide the interview as a PDF file, and of course, with the source code available. I know that a PDF approach is not ideal, since users might prefer reading the interview online in a browser instead of opening a PDF viewer in order to see what's going on. Sadly, as it is, the interview format is not fluent for us that work in the backstage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If we opt for a PDF format, I'd like to call our TeX experts for us to come up with either a document class or package providing an interview-like format, publicly available (reaching CTAN at some point). Every interview would be typeset with this class/package, and it would be easier for our reviewers to work on the text. Besides, the blog posts would not be complicated to come up, since no heavy format would be required, just a link for the PDF file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We are open to suggestions. `:)` Feel free to add your own views and also some pointers on what you would like to see on TeXtalk. After all, community matters! `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

[Excellent answers](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/06/optimizing-for-pearls-not-sand/) tend to be more than just techinically accurate; they also engage to the reader.  Consider the following [paragraph](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Knuth#Humor):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; When Knuth taught Concrete Mathematics at Stanford for the first time, he explained the somewhat strange title by saying that it was his attempt to teach a math course that was hard instead of soft. He announced that, contrary to the expectations of some of his colleagues, he was not going to teach the Theory of Aggregates, nor Stone's Embedding Theorem, nor even the Stone–Čech compactification theorem.  (Several students from the civil engineering department got up and quietly left the room.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Stanford (along with the final two sentences) is entirely extraneous to what the paragraph communicates.  And yet, it's a detail that adds more than enough to leave it in.  Even if Stanford were a complete unknown, the name of the institution paints a picture in the mind of the reader.  Being [specific](http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000033.html) makes for better writing. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Summary&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It can hardly be said that using the names of institutions or commercial brands is promotion of those names in all cases.

Neither one is right, nor the other wrong. Such decisions are design choices, and LaTeX and ConTeXt authors chose differently.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The situation with other tags is no better:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* `{lists}` in LaTeX is a generic tag to describe `itemize`, `description`, and `enumerate`. In ConTeXt, all are implemented using `itemgroups` environment. ConTeXt has a `description` and `enumerate` environment but they mean something completely different: `enumerate` is similar to `theorems` in LaTeX, and `description` to, well, unnumbered `theorems`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* `{lists}` in ConTeXt refers to what LaTeX calls `{toc}`: List of Figures, List of Tables, List of Blah, are all implemented using `list` environment in ConTeXt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my opinion, it basically boils down to this: many tags on this site are named after the LaTeX environment that implements them so that it is easier for users to find the right tag. Given that 99.9999% of users on this site are LaTeX users, that is the right thing to do.  Either we (the ConTeXt users) create a new tag for everything `{context-hanging}`, `{context-list}`, `{context-enumeration}`, `{context-registers}`, `{context-marking}`, `{context-itemize}`, and so on; or accept the fact that the tags of many ConTeXt questions will not make sense to ConTeXt users (like the `{wrap}` tag)."

  <row Id="11857" PostHistoryTypeId="5" PostId="3784" RevisionGUID="d0e14b32-9124-4d8c-822f-652f00a91d46" CreationDate="2013-09-23T18:05:48.267" UserId="5245" Comment="Add info about fix" Text="### The problem&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While writing [my last&#xD;&#xA;answer](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/130399/5245) I noticed that&#xD;&#xA;linking to external resources containing a colon does not work,&#xD;&#xA;since the colon is being escaped as `%3a` and thus mangled and the&#xD;&#xA;URLs do not resolve any longer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Example&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[`https://gitorious.org/context/context/source/b76759d73e6734cb014fe46da1f8521dcc9a8d71:metapost/context/base/mp-mlib.mpiv#L182-256`](https://gitorious.org/context/context/source/b76759d73e6734cb014fe46da1f8521dcc9a8d71:metapost/context/base/mp-mlib.mpiv#L182-256)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Analysis&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I tried to link to external resources using the markdown syntax&#xD;&#xA;`[description](URL)`. The URL contained unescaped colons. After&#xD;&#xA;having read the [RFC - Uniform Resource&#xD;&#xA;Identifier](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986) I hold that colons&#xD;&#xA;do not have to be escaped and that this is a bug in the&#xD;&#xA;stackexchange code, rather than a fault on the external resources'&#xD;&#xA;side.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Colons are listed as [reserved&#xD;&#xA;characters](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#page-12). The&#xD;&#xA;relevant section is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; URI producing applications should percent-encode data octets that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; correspond to characters in the reserved set unless these characters&#xD;&#xA;&gt; are specifically allowed by the URI scheme to represent data in that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; component.  If a reserved character is found in a URI component and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; no delimiting role is known for that character, then it must be&#xD;&#xA;&gt; interpreted as representing the data octet corresponding to that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; character's encoding in US-ASCII.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Take this URL:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    https://gitorious.org/context/context/source/b76759d73e6734cb014fe46da1f8521dcc9a8d71:metapost/context/base/mp-mlib.mpiv#L182-256&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to [the RFC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3) the colon&#xD;&#xA;belongs to the *path* part:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;       foo://example.com:8042/over/there?name=ferret#nose&#xD;&#xA;&gt;       \_/   \______________/\_________/ \_________/ \__/&#xD;&#xA;&gt;        |           |            |            |        |&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     scheme     authority       path        query   fragment&#xD;&#xA;&gt;        |   _____________________|__&#xD;&#xA;&gt;       / \ /                        &gt;       urn:example:animal:ferret:nose&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Furthermore, the path is of type&#xD;&#xA;[path-absolute](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3),&#xD;&#xA;which requires the syntax `path-absolute = &quot;/&quot; [ segment-nz *( &quot;/&quot;&#xD;&#xA;segment ) ]` with `segment-nz = 1*pchar` and `segment = *pchar` and&#xD;&#xA;`pchar = unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / &quot;:&quot; / &quot;@&quot;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This means, the path can contain all unreserved characters, encoded&#xD;&#xA;characters or colons, if I'm not mistaken.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Workaround&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the time being an URL shortener can be used and the shortened&#xD;&#xA;URL can be included. However, this is generally not desirable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Discussion&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't know why stackexchange alters the link in the first place.&#xD;&#xA;As far as I know, the parentheses enclose an URL, which is only&#xD;&#xA;valid if has been properly encoded by the user. No further encoding&#xD;&#xA;is required.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT:** It was indeed a bug on gitorious side. And Marcin [committed a fix](https://gitorious.org/gitorious/mainline/commit/b4288cb228dbce734acfdc0701f5085e74c3ced9) today, which has already been released, so the link mentioned above resolves correctly."

(should the drafts be community wiki?)  in the meantime, please keep on making good suggestions." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

(i'd really want to draft such an&#xD;&#xA;answer off-line anyhow, in order to make use of an editor i'm used to,&#xD;&#xA;that doesn't encourage me to make mistakes.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;if someone is willing to join in this endeavour, i'll add to this question&#xD;&#xA;the list of questions i've already identified as containing potentially&#xD;&#xA;useful information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;while we're at it, are there any other good candidates for &quot;often asked questions&quot;&#xD;&#xA;about math environments?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**addendum:**  i've been busy with &quot;real work&quot;, and haven't drafted anything useful yet.&#xD;&#xA;but some good candidates have been proposed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - how do i align my (displayed) equations?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - why can't i define a shorthand command for `align`?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - my equation requires multiple lines, with matching delimiters on different lines.  how can i avoid the errors that i get with `\left` and `\right`?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - how do i put a brace (bracket/parenthesis) around just part of a matrix?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - what are good practices when applying underbraces and/or overbraces to an equation?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - what command should i use for bits of text in math environments?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;i'll post a separate question for each draft as i put it together -- or if someone else wants to make a start, please feel free.  (should the drafts be community wiki?)  in the meantime, please keep on making good suggestions." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm Laura, a product manager at Stack Exchange.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The rationale behind having bounty reasons be displayed along with the bounty amount is to help other users know what they should do in order to receive the bounty. You're right about the *general* reason that bounties exist: people want to do whatever it takes to get an answer. However, since bounties draw extra attention, extra guidance is useful. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Often, bountied questions receive multiple answers. Having a bounty reason prominently displayed quells any later cries of &quot;But why did THAT answer get a bounty but not MINE?!&quot; (not entirely, but it sure helps). And since anyone can place a bounty on a question - not just the question owner - it's not always clear what the intent of the bounty is.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as why we don't allow the option to not have ANY reason...if we allowed that option, very few people would choose a reason. When the bounty system was first introduced, reasons were not required. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I realize that the existing reasons don't fit every situation perfectly, but that's also why we have the option to allow the bounty offerer to include a custom message.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So while I'm declining the request to have NO reason, you've got me thinking that maybe a &quot;this question is time-sensitive&quot; / &quot;I need an answer soon&quot; (though maybe not worded like that) bounty reason might be useful.

Nevertheless, I would also like to point out that since &quot;this is the better part of the Internet&quot; we shouldn't sell ourselves like we don't answer questions that require too much effort (*too much expected of an answer*), even though we all know that nothing bothers more than the &quot;do this for me&quot; question and we all love a question that poses ourselves a good challenge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Having said that, I would then focus on the other two options: `off topic` and `unclear`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By the same reasoning, `off topic` may seem strange, because the OP would feel he is actually asking for something of TeX in the TeX site (specially for newbies) and he is not getting the help he needs.  Perhaps that specifically set of words shouldn't be our response for why his question is being kicked out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, here is my idea:  The fusion of #2 and #3:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Your question seems unclear.

It's a very promising package, because many things are possible with it that weren't before (or required low level tricks).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When I read that message on `comp.text.tex` I was sorry rather than upset. Sorry for the hundreds of users that risk not being able to compile their document any more, once the new package version is released. I can understand that a major reworking of the package can lead to change decisions made in the past, but a package author shouldn't throw users of *his* package under the bus.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A case that can be compared is that of `caption`. Several years ago, a new version with several incompatible changes was released under the name of `caption2`. Years later, instead of issuing a `caption3` package, Axel Sommerfeldt decided to return to `caption`, having solved many, if not all, compatibility problems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;CTAN hosts `revtex4` and `revtex4-1`, so documents using the old version don't need to be modified. The Koma-Script suite has several `&lt;name&gt;2` packages.  With `mhchem` one has to explicitly choose the `version=3` option at package loading.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So there are many solutions available. For `tabu`, unfortunately, the situation is unclear.

Compared to LaTeX core, ConTeXt does not assert that new changes will not break backward compatibility. Sometimes, the only way to add new features or to fix bugs is to break backward compatibility, and ConTeXt tends to err on the side to keeping the interface clean at the cost of backward compatibility. As a consequence, it was much easier for ConTeXt developers to move to LuaTeX as the main backend engine; more than 50% of the ConTeXt code is now written in Lua, and is therefore easier to maintain and understand. This rewrite has resulted in renaming of macros (to make the naming scheme consistent) and change in the interface (again to make the interface more consistent). Thus, a document written for MkII does not work for MkIV out of the box. It is expected that the document author will have to tweak the preamble and perhaps make minor changes in the document body as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Such a development model is not suitable for everyone. There are those who want stability and backward compatibility over new features and consistency (for example, publishing houses). At the same time, backward compatibility is not suitable for everyone. There are those who would much prefer a nicer interface and new features over backward compatibility (for example, grad students writing a thesis). To each his own.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think that as long as a package author documents the changes and explains how to translate the old syntax to the new syntax, the package author is being considerate to the users.

Can I just paste a link to it?][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; **No.**&#xD;&#xA; &gt;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; The primary goal of Stack Overflow is to build an archive of questions and answers that are useful to people and situations beyond that of the original asker. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [What is the XY problem?][6]&#xD;&#xA; &gt; The XY problem is asking about your attempted solution rather than your actual problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [What can I do when getting “It does not meet our quality standards”?][7]&#xD;&#xA; &gt; All new questions are subjected to a &quot;minimum quality&quot; filter that checks for characteristics of extremely poor questions. Your question has been caught by the filter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;###How can I improve my changes of success?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other useful topics can be found on the mentioned [FAQ][8], as to help you improve your changes of success:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [How can I get answers fast?][9]&#xD;&#xA; - [Is there a limit on how many questions I can ask?][10]&#xD;&#xA; - [How should we deal with Google questions?][11]&#xD;&#xA; - [Should I send students to Stack Overflow?][12]&#xD;&#xA; - [How to ask and answer homework questions?][13]&#xD;&#xA; - [How do I get attention for old, unanswered questions?][14]&#xD;&#xA; - [What can I do when getting &quot;Sorry, we are no longer accepting questions/answers from this account&quot;?

The voting system is supposed to separate good answers from bad ones. So it's fine to downvote a bad answer if you think that's necessary, but flagging it is generally inappropriate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I should also note that [Joseph's answer](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/a/3926/2693) and this answer are completely complementary: I'm focusing on the fact that just because an answer is bad, doesn't mean it should be flagged, whereas Joseph is focusing on the fact that things that *should* be flagged sometimes get upvotes.  It's not an 'either/or' situation: both cases are possible." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Immediately. However, there is a bounty of knowledge already present on this site. Search for it using the best [ninja skills](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching) you have possible. Only then post a question. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Duplication is fine if it turns out that the problem can be approached from different angles. Your question (even though it is a duplicate) may be the landing place for others searching for similar solutions. Questions marked as a duplicate will have their duplicate targets clearly listed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Include a [minimal working example (MWE)](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764) so that the actual problem can be replicated by the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Since we're not sitting next to you and a post is the only way you can communicate the problem, a MWE is like a picture... and worth a thousand words. Remember to keep it *minimal*. How do you know when something is minimal or not? Remove stuff until the problem is not reproducible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Write a descriptive (yet short) title&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; A title saying &quot;How do I fix this error&quot; doesn't help any future visitors who search this site. Like any search engine, question titles are included in the search results, together with snippets of text/code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; So, while &quot;How do I fix this error&quot; may mean something to *you* at the time of posting the question, you should...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ...have the bigger picture in mind - the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; The community is here to help you, so try to put yourself in their shoes when you post. Can they readily reproduce my problem? Have I given clear instruction as to what I'm after? Do I have an [XY problem](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2449/5764)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Include references and pictures&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; A reference to a different question will show that you've done some research or tried other avenues. Pictures of the output (expected or actual) give most members an immediate take on what's going on. Again, a picture is worth more than a bunch of sentences.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Mark your code properly&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; There's an [FAQ on how to mark your code](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/863/5764) using markdown. It improves readability.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Tag like a boss&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; We have many house-keepers in this community, all of whom try to keep up with ordering things on this site. Tags are important for that. And, as [you may have noticed](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching), searching based on tags (using `[&lt;tag&gt;]`) can help narrow your searching to find what you're looking for.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### References:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [How to ask a smart question](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/18584/168244)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Answers:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Search first&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Yes, some questions are duplicates. If they're found, flag a question or directly [close it as a duplicate](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/view-close-votes).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Don't post link-only answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; These are better-suited as a comment, since it defers reputation to the intended posts (not yourself). Sure, link to other posts that support or confirm some of your suggestions/usages, but keep in mind that your answer should *add value* to the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Code-only answers are not *that* awesome.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; New users sometimes have a lacking ability to interpret code-only answers. It helps if there are explanatory discussions around why certain things were done.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### References:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [How do I write a good answer to a question?](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/7656/168244)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;I'll add some more content later.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xqk4x.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/AVCVk.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

One finds similar symbols only with `MnSymbol` or `mathdesign`.

Immediately. However, there is a bounty of knowledge already present on this site. Search for it using the best [ninja skills](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching) you have possible. Only then post a question.  For [not-so-new users](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/chat), the [chat room](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41/tex-latex-and-friends) is also a good place to hash out ideas about questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Duplication is fine if it turns out that the problem can be approached from different angles. Your question (even though it is a duplicate) may be the landing place for others searching for similar solutions. Questions marked as a duplicate will have their duplicate targets clearly listed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Include a [minimal working example (MWE)](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764) so that the actual problem can be replicated by the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Since we're not sitting next to you and a post is the only way you can communicate the problem, a MWE is like a picture... and worth a thousand words. Remember to keep it *minimal*. How do you know when something is minimal or not? Remove stuff until the problem is not reproducible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Write a descriptive (yet short) title&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; A title saying &quot;How do I fix this error&quot; doesn't help any future visitors who search this site. Like any search engine, question titles are included in the search results, together with snippets of text/code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; So, while &quot;How do I fix this error&quot; may mean something to *you* at the time of posting the question, you should...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ...have the bigger picture in mind - the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; The community is here to help you, so try to put yourself in their shoes when you post. Can they readily reproduce my problem? Have I given clear instruction as to what I'm after? Do I have an [XY problem](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2449/5764)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Include references and pictures&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; A reference to a different question will show that you've done some research or tried other avenues (perhaps you'd like to ask a [follow-up question](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2117/5764)). Pictures of the output (expected or actual) give most members an immediate take on what's going on. Again, a picture is worth more than a bunch of sentences. We have guidelines on [how to include images in posts](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2136/5764) - new users should follow the same procedure but remove the preceding `!` (markdown inserted to denote a picture). [*Janitors*](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/edit) will be able to rectify this and fully embed the image.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Mark your code properly&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; There's an [FAQ on how to mark your code](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/863/5764) using markdown. It improves readability.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Tag like a boss&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; We have many house-keepers in this community, all of whom try to keep up with ordering things on this site. Tags are important for that. And, as [you may have noticed](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching), searching based on tags (using `[&lt;tag&gt;]`) can help narrow your searching to find what you're looking for.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Be specific&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Think of the answer you require when formatting the question. As a reference, see http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/3446/5764.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### References:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [How to ask a smart question](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/18584/168244)&#xD;&#xA;- http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1852/5764&#xD;&#xA;- http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2766/5764&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Answers:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Search first&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Yes, some questions are duplicates. If they're found, flag a question or directly [close it as a duplicate](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/view-close-votes).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Don't post link-only answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; These are better-suited as a comment, since it defers reputation to the intended posts (not yourself). Sure, link to other posts that support or confirm some of your suggestions/usages, but keep in mind that your answer should *add value* to the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Code-only answers are not *that* awesome.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; New users sometimes have a lacking ability to interpret code-only answers. It helps if there are explanatory discussions around why certain things were done.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### References:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [How do I write a good answer to a question?](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/7656/168244)&#xD;&#xA;- http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2695/5764&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xqk4x.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/AVCVk.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="Here is a collection of ideas, taken from comments and the [FAQ for Stack Exchange sites](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/7931/168244):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Search first&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; We typically come to a Q&amp;A to get an answer. Immediately. However, there is a bounty of knowledge already present on this site. Search for it using the best [ninja skills](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching) you have possible. Only then post a question.  For [not-so-new users](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/chat), the [chat room](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41/tex-latex-and-friends) is also a good place to hash out ideas about questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Duplication is fine if it turns out that the problem can be approached from different angles. Your question (even though it is a duplicate) may be the landing place for others searching for similar solutions. Questions marked as a duplicate will have their duplicate targets clearly listed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Include a [minimal working example (MWE)](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764) so that the actual problem can be replicated by the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Since we're not sitting next to you and a post is the only way you can communicate the problem, a MWE is like a picture... and worth a thousand words. Remember to keep it *minimal*. How do you know when something is minimal or not? Remove stuff until the problem is not reproducible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Write a descriptive (yet short) title&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; A title saying &quot;How do I fix this error&quot; doesn't help any future visitors who search this site. Like any search engine, question titles are included in the search results, together with snippets of text/code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; So, while &quot;How do I fix this error&quot; may mean something to *you* at the time of posting the question, you should...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ...have the bigger picture in mind - the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; The community is here to help you, so try to put yourself in their shoes when you post. Can they readily reproduce my problem? Have I given clear instruction as to what I'm after? Do I have an [XY problem](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2449/5764)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Include references and pictures&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; A reference to a different question will show that you've done some research or tried other avenues (perhaps you'd like to ask a [follow-up question](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2117/5764)). Pictures of the output (expected or actual) give most members an immediate take on what's going on. Again, a picture is worth more than a bunch of sentences. We have guidelines on [how to include images in posts](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2136/5764) - new users should follow the same procedure but remove the preceding `!` (markdown inserted to denote a picture). [*Janitors*](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/edit) will be able to rectify this and fully embed the image.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Mark your code properly&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; There's an [FAQ on how to mark your code](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/863/5764) using markdown. It improves readability.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Tag like a boss&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; We have many house-keepers in this community, all of whom try to keep up with ordering things on this site. Tags are important for that. And, as [you may have noticed](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching), searching based on tags (using `[&lt;tag&gt;]`) can help narrow your searching to find what you're looking for.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Be specific&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Think of the answer you require when formatting the question. As a reference, see http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/3446/5764.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Other/related references:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [How to ask a smart question](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/18584/168244)&#xD;&#xA;- http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1852/5764&#xD;&#xA;- http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2766/5764&#xD;&#xA;- [Stack Overflow question checklist](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/156810/168244)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Answers:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Search first&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Yes, some questions are duplicates. If they're found, flag a question or directly [close it as a duplicate](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/view-close-votes).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Don't post link-only answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; These are better-suited as a comment, since it defers reputation to the intended posts (not yourself). Sure, link to other posts that support or confirm some of your suggestions/usages, but keep in mind that your answer should *add value* to the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Code-only answers are not *that* awesome.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; New users sometimes have a lacking ability to interpret code-only answers. It helps if there are explanatory discussions around why certain things were done.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Other/related references:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [How do I write a good answer to a question?](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/7656/168244)&#xD;&#xA;- http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2695/5764&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xqk4x.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/AVCVk.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

That is, &quot;a mix of downvotes and upvotes&quot; is very vague. For example, just looking at a post *score* (upvotes *minus* downvotes) a score of 0 from 3 upvotes and 3 downvotes might be less controversial than one with 6 upvotes and 6 downvotes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Doing this type of search in-time is difficult, since the StackExchange search capability within the network is limited to [searching by post `score`](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching), with no regard for up- or downvotes. As such, one is left to query the StackExchange data via the [SE Data Explorer for TeX.SE](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/new) or [downloading them via Bittorrent](http://www.clearbits.net/creators/146-stack-exchange-data-dump) and performing these queries manually.

I'm not sure about the time lag of the former.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The below analysis lists posts based on search criteria extracted from the Bittorrent source dated [Sept 2013](http://www.clearbits.net/torrents/2155-sept-2013). For the sake of being specific, I considered a post to be controversial if it has at least 1 upvote, at least 4 downvotes, a negative score (upvotes *minus* downvotes) and not already deleted. So, a post with 1 upvote and 5 downvotes has a score of -4 (negative), and therefore &quot;controversial&quot; if it is not deleted. Here's a list of those, sorted based on their scores (as of today, Nov 22, 2013) and organized by type. So, the Bittorrent download was used to identify controversial posts, while the current site scores were used to rank posts:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;###Questions&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Score = -10&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/48295/5764&#xD;&#xA;- Score = -5&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/24291/5764&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/29246/5764&#xD;&#xA;- Score = -4&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/120154/5764&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/24330/5764&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/54830/5764&#xD;&#xA;- Score = -3&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/19119/5764&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/20995/5764&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/54040/5764&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/73457/5764&#xD;&#xA;- Score = -2&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/20733/5764&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/65956/5764&#xD;&#xA;- Score = -1&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/123541/5764&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/21861/5764&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/25665/5764&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/2170/5764&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/35892/5764&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/70754/5764&#xD;&#xA; - http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/87319/5764&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;###Answers&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Score = -5&#xD;&#xA; - [What can't TeX do?](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/27883/5764)&#xD;&#xA; - [How do I convert HTML to LaTeX?](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/3081/5764)&#xD;&#xA;- Score = -4&#xD;&#xA; - [Competition time: Design an error page!](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/5270/5764)&#xD;&#xA; - [Space after LaTeX commands](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/31093/5764)&#xD;&#xA;- Score = -3&#xD;&#xA; - [How to undo a `\def` (i.e., Need a `\undef` capability)](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/20656/5764)&#xD;&#xA; - [Is there any harm using `hyperref` for a document destined for printing?](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/95108/5764)&#xD;&#xA;- Score = -2&#xD;&#xA; - [How to draw an Euler angle rotation sequence with TikZ?](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/118070/5764)&#xD;&#xA; - [How give space text in math mode?](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/119684/5764)&#xD;&#xA;- Score = 0&#xD;&#xA; - [Prerequisites for using LaTeX efficiently](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/89316/5764)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Many packages have been significantly improved since then. I would recommend installing TeX Live directly from [TUG](http://tug.org/texlive/) instead of using the Debian packages. That way you can always get current package versions by running `sudo tlmgr update --all`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Upload images only over the official interface ###&#xD;&#xA;- ``Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official Stack Exchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: Ctrl+G). This ensures that all images will always be accessible and won't expire.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ``As new user without image posting privileges simply include the image as normal and remove the `!` in front of it to turn it into a link. A moderator or another user with edit privileges can then reinsert the `!` to turn it into an image again.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Reminder for being clement ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `Please don't downvote below a score of -1, even if the question in it's current form needs some improvement. A score of -1 is enough to show that the question needs work, anything below that is of no use. Also, if you downvote or vote to close, please leave a comment explaining why you did so, but wait at least 24 hours after asking the OP for improvements to the question before voting to close.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Optional addition: `Don't forget, it's a new user!`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `This should not have been closed.

Huh, this is the only site where this opening is similar to last years... fancy that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### What are Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - scripts packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The question must always be tagged with the magic [meta-tag:community-ads] tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Image requirements&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The image that you create must be **220 x 250 pixels**&#xD;&#xA; - Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)&#xD;&#xA; - Must be GIF or PNG&#xD;&#xA; - No animated GIFs&#xD;&#xA; - Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Score Threshold&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a **minimum score threshold** an answer must meet (currently **6**) before it will be shown on the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats [here][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/ads/display/4009" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I don't know of anyone else at the school using it. At my previous school I helped convert a math teacher to LaTeX. With respect to math, I suspect you'll find very few teachers using it: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. There's little need to use LaTeX. Most schools have resources such as software to generate tests and many teachers look to give multiple choice choice tests (to save time in grading).&#xD;&#xA;2. LaTeX has a huge learning curve and teachers don't have the time to learn as they go. If a teacher wants to create a test with a Name, followed by a line for the student name,on one side of the paper and Class, followed by a line for the student's class, on the other side they quickly run into issues of creating a line and then they find LaTeX ignores the spacing. Simple little things that aren't easy to find unless they've got the time and patience to wade through documentation (or had the knowledge to head to this site). That's why I suggested a functional guide to LaTex for [this question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/56621/what-needs-to-be-introduced-in-a-short-introduction-to-latex/56645#56645).&#xD;&#xA;3. The profile of LaTeX users that I've seen amongst math teachers is they've already learned LaTeX so they don't have the learning curve to face; the multivariable calculus at my school and I have PhDs so we had years of practice with LaTeX. Had I not been around for help, I doubt that the teacher I converted to LaTeX would have made the plunge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With no need to use LaTeX, limited free time to learn LaTeX, and a big learning curve it's unlikely a teacher will find LaTeX and devote the time to learning it. Add in the fact that about 1/3 of high school math teachers has a degree in math and it's easy to see why it's not going to be popular." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm organizing a lottery. The idea is very similar to http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2982, but both the lottery algorithm and the prize are different. Let me explain some things first.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Who are you?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm some random dude on the Internet who happens to hang out a lot in this very community. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## What is the prize?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Wait a minute, did you say *duck*?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes! `:)` But not a *real* duck, it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good question. `:)` I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA; - Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA; - Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA; - Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 21 December, 2013.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll use the following code to pick the winner:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{expl3}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{xparse}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{pgf}&#xD;&#xA;    \pgfmathsetseed{\number\pdfrandomseed}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOn&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \prop_new:N \g_duck_contest_prop&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_set_false:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \tl_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand { \person } { m m }&#xD;&#xA;     {&#xD;&#xA;      \clist_map_inline:nn { #1 }&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;         \prop_if_in:NnTF \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;             Hey! ~ #2 ~ wants ~ to ~ be ~ naughty! ~&#xD;&#xA;             The ~ number ~ ##1 ~ was ~ already ~ chosen! \par&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;             \prop_gput:Nnn \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 } { #2 }&#xD;&#xA;             \int_gset:Nn \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;               {&#xD;&#xA;                \int_max:nn { \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int } { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;               }&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;     }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winner } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \bool_do_until:Nn \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \pgfmathrandom{1, \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int}&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_get:NoN \g_duck_contest_prop { \pgfmathresult } \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            \quark_if_no_value:NF \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \bool_set_true:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;        \int_set_eq:NN \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int \pgfmathresult&#xD;&#xA;        \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \cs_generate_variant:Nn \prop_get:NnN { No }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winningnumber } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \int_to_arabic:n \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOff&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % add yourself here&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    % For example, in the following line&#xD;&#xA;    % I picked 1 and 27, but I'm not&#xD;&#xA;    % participating in the contest :)&#xD;&#xA;    % \person{1,27}{Paulo Cereda}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \person{124,100}{Stiff Jokes}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{123,77}{Werner}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{68,130}{giordano}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{65,105}{Ethan Bolker}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{137,143}{Marco Daniel}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{15,97}{David Carlisle}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{22,44}{egreg}&#xD;&#xA;    \person(108,69}{Count Zero}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{42,37}tohecz}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{47,167}{ppr}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{26,2}{marczellm}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{3,30}{Papiro}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{131,144}{percusse}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{1,200}{Przemysław Scherwent}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{13,93}{Adam}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{4,5}{Frank Mittelbach}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{33,66}{Harish Kumar}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{23,177}{cgnieder}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{11,121}{texenthusiast}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{50,52}{Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{14,29}{ricmarques}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{193,38}{ComFreek}&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % the announcement&#xD;&#xA;    The winner is \winner, with \winningnumber!

Let me explain some things first.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Who are you?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm some random dude on the Internet who happens to hang out a lot in this very community. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## What is the prize?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Wait a minute, did you say *duck*?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes! `:)` But not a *real* duck, it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good question. `:)` I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA; - Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA; - Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA; - Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 21 December, 2013.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll use the following code to pick the winner:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{expl3}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{xparse}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{pgf}&#xD;&#xA;    \pgfmathsetseed{\number\pdfrandomseed}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOn&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \prop_new:N \g_duck_contest_prop&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_set_false:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \tl_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand { \person } { m m }&#xD;&#xA;     {&#xD;&#xA;      \clist_map_inline:nn { #1 }&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;         \prop_if_in:NnTF \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;             Hey! ~ #2 ~ wants ~ to ~ be ~ naughty! ~&#xD;&#xA;             The ~ number ~ ##1 ~ was ~ already ~ chosen! \par&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;             \prop_gput:Nnn \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 } { #2 }&#xD;&#xA;             \int_gset:Nn \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;               {&#xD;&#xA;                \int_max:nn { \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int } { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;               }&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;     }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winner } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \bool_do_until:Nn \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \pgfmathrandom{1, \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int}&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_get:NoN \g_duck_contest_prop { \pgfmathresult } \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            \quark_if_no_value:NF \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \bool_set_true:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;        \int_set_eq:NN \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int \pgfmathresult&#xD;&#xA;        \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \cs_generate_variant:Nn \prop_get:NnN { No }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winningnumber } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \int_to_arabic:n \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOff&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % add yourself here&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    % For example, in the following line&#xD;&#xA;    % I picked 1 and 27, but I'm not&#xD;&#xA;    % participating in the contest :)&#xD;&#xA;    % \person{1,27}{Paulo Cereda}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \person{124,100}{Stiff Jokes}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{123,77}{Werner}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{68,130}{giordano}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{65,105}{Ethan Bolker}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{137,143}{Marco Daniel}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{15,97}{David Carlisle}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{22,44}{egreg}&#xD;&#xA;    \person(108,69}{Count Zero}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{42,37}tohecz}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{47,167}{ppr}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{26,2}{marczellm}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{3,30}{Papiro}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{131,144}{percusse}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{1,200}{Przemysław Scherwent}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{13,93}{Adam}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{4,5}{Frank Mittelbach}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{33,66}{Harish Kumar}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{23,177}{cgnieder}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{11,121}{texenthusiast}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{50,52}{Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{14,29}{ricmarques}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{193,38}{ComFreek}&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % the announcement&#xD;&#xA;    The winner is \winner, with \winningnumber!

I don't know of anyone else at the school using it. At my previous school I helped convert a math teacher to LaTeX. With respect to math, I suspect you'll find very few teachers using it: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. There's little need to use LaTeX. Most schools have resources such as software to generate tests and many teachers look to give multiple choice choice tests (to save time in grading).&#xD;&#xA;2. LaTeX has a huge learning curve and teachers don't have the time to learn as they go. If a teacher wants to create a test with a Name, followed by a line for the student name,on one side of the paper and Class, followed by a line for the student's class, on the other side they quickly run into issues of creating a line and then they find LaTeX ignores the spacing. Simple little things that aren't easy to find unless they've got the time and patience to wade through documentation (or had the knowledge to head to this site). That's why I suggested a functional guide to LaTex for [this question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/56621/what-needs-to-be-introduced-in-a-short-introduction-to-latex/56645#56645).&#xD;&#xA;3. The profile of LaTeX users that I've seen amongst math teachers is they've already learned LaTeX so they don't have the learning curve to face; the multivariable calculus at my school and I have PhDs so we had years of practice with LaTeX. Had I not been around for help, I doubt that the teacher I converted to LaTeX would have made the plunge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With no need to use LaTeX, limited free time to learn LaTeX, and a big learning curve it's unlikely a teacher will find LaTeX and devote the time to learning it. Add in the fact that about 1/3 of high school math teachers don't have a degree in math and it's easy to see why it's not going to be popular." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA; - Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA; - Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA; - Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 21 December, 2013.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll use the following code to pick the winner:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{expl3}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{xparse}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{pgf}&#xD;&#xA;    \pgfmathsetseed{\number\pdfrandomseed}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOn&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \prop_new:N \g_duck_contest_prop&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_set_false:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \tl_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand { \person } { m m }&#xD;&#xA;     {&#xD;&#xA;      \clist_map_inline:nn { #1 }&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;         \prop_if_in:NnTF \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;             Hey! ~ #2 ~ wants ~ to ~ be ~ naughty! ~&#xD;&#xA;             The ~ number ~ ##1 ~ was ~ already ~ chosen! \par&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;             \prop_gput:Nnn \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 } { #2 }&#xD;&#xA;             \int_gset:Nn \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;               {&#xD;&#xA;                \int_max:nn { \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int } { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;               }&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;     }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winner } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \bool_do_until:Nn \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \pgfmathrandom{1, \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int}&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_get:NoN \g_duck_contest_prop { \pgfmathresult } \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            \quark_if_no_value:NF \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \bool_set_true:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;        \int_set_eq:NN \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int \pgfmathresult&#xD;&#xA;        \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \cs_generate_variant:Nn \prop_get:NnN { No }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winningnumber } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \int_to_arabic:n \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOff&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % add yourself here&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    % For example, in the following line&#xD;&#xA;    % I picked 1 and 27, but I'm not&#xD;&#xA;    % participating in the contest :)&#xD;&#xA;    % \person{1,27}{Paulo Cereda}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \person{124,100}{Stiff Jokes}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{123,77}{Werner}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{68,130}{giordano}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{65,105}{Ethan Bolker}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{137,143}{Marco Daniel}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{15,97}{David Carlisle}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{22,44}{egreg}&#xD;&#xA;    \person(108,69}{Count Zero}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{42,37}tohecz}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{47,167}{ppr}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{26,2}{marczellm}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{3,30}{Papiro}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{131,144}{percusse}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{1,200}{Przemysław Scherwent}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{13,93}{Adam}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{4,5}{Frank Mittelbach}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{33,66}{Harish Kumar}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{23,177}{cgnieder}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{11,121}{texenthusiast}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{50,52}{Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{14,29}{ricmarques}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{193,38}{ComFreek}&#xD;&#xA;    \person{82,88}{Francesco Endrici}&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % the announcement&#xD;&#xA;    The winner is \winner, with \winningnumber!

Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good question. `:)` I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have absolutely no idea.

(I personally recommend [`noweb`][3] in conjunction with [`org-babel`][4]—the combination is very easy to work with, and `org` supports documentation export to many different formats.

Acquire a version of `web` that you'd like to use, making sure to go through a `Hello, World` example.&#xD;&#xA;1. Write literate program—comments and code all in one(?) file.&#xD;&#xA;2. Use `tangle` to extract source code and `weave` to extract documentation.  I imagine this is done using&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        ctangle literate-program.web&#xD;&#xA;        cweave literate-program.web&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; or the syntax your tool uses.

I'm organizing a lottery. The idea is very similar to http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2982, but both the lottery algorithm and the prize are different. Let me explain some things first.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Who are you?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm some random dude on the Internet who happens to hang out a lot in this very community. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## What is the prize?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Wait a minute, did you say *duck*?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes! `:)` But not a *real* duck, it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good question. `:)` I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have absolutely no idea.

I'm organizing a lottery. The idea is very similar to http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2982, but both the lottery algorithm and the prize are different. Let me explain some things first.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Who are you?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm some random dude on the Internet who happens to hang out a lot in this very community. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## What is the prize?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Wait a minute, did you say *duck*?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes! `:)` But not a *real* duck, it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good question. `:)` I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200.

We've once again come to the time of year when we need to renew (or cancel) our TeX User Group institutional membership.

Remember, one of the most direct benefits of membership for the community is the ability to [select eight users for individual membership](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1727/how-do-we-choose-tex-se-members-for-representing-se-in-the-tug).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as the team is concerned, if you feel like you're getting any benefit out of the membership at all, that's reason enough to support renewal.

This might also be a good time to review the process for filling those eight individual membership slots." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm organizing a lottery. The idea is very similar to http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2982, but both the lottery algorithm and the prize are different. Let me explain some things first.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Who are you?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm some random dude on the Internet who happens to hang out a lot in this very community. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## What is the prize?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Wait a minute, did you say *duck*?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes! `:)` But not a *real* duck, it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good question. `:)` I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA; - Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA; - Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA; - Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 21 December, 2013.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll use the following code to pick the winner:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{expl3}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{xparse}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{pgf}&#xD;&#xA;    \pgfmathsetseed{\number\pdfrandomseed}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOn&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \prop_new:N \g_duck_contest_prop&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_set_false:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \tl_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand { \person } { m m }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \clist_map_inline:nn { #1 }&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_if_in:NnTF \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                Hey!

That tells me that both the StackExchange team and the local 'community' on the site are doing good work. What the TUG membership adds to this is twofold: supporting TeX beyond the site _and_ enhancing the benefits of the site for a group of our members each year.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TUG is the worldwide group for TeX users, organises yearly meetings about TeX and related ideas, supports TeX developments (for example font and LuaTeX coding) and provides a central point for contacts. That needs resources both in terms of people and money: StackExchange's membership of TUG helps directly with the latter, and more broadly being an institutional member shows that TUG membership is an important thing and so helps promotion within the community. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For our 'representatives', the TUG membership offers something tangible out of their work on the site, and hopefully helps them to broaden their TeX knowledge. The journal of TUG, [_TUGBoat_](http://tug.org/tugboat/), is always a good read and offers insight into lots of areas of interest to TeX users. We get to select new representatives each year, assuming the membership continues, so this benefit gets 'spread around' over time: great for newer members.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of how we'll select representatives if the membership continues, the model to date seems to have worked well. The approach I think we'll take is this. I'll open a meta thread asking for self-nominations, where interested members can put their names down. I'll also ask them to delete the answers immediately after posting, and give it a little while (say 5 days) to allow people to put themselves forward. I'll then undelete all of the answers, and give a period for voting (again say 5 days). The moderators will then forward a list of 'reps' to the StackExchange staff based on the voting but with a casting vote in case of a tie and with the right to add additional names in the event that there are not 8 positively-voted nominees."

The TeX Users Group is the reference for worldwide TeX users and is committed into improving knowledge and software for TeX and related systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe it's in the interest of StackExchange supporting the TUG as an institutional member: the more efficient is TeX support by TUG, the more people are attracted into using the system and into registering at TeX.StackExchange (or, at least into browsing it). The figures speak by themselves.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Therefore the institutional membership is just another way to enrich TeX.StackExchange, which is a great site to be involved in, by the way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The most important feature of TSE for me is that it encourages students of TeX/LaTeX of all levels. If a question gets asked, even very awkwardly, by even a raw beginner, there is much positive encouragement and assistance to either rework it or redirect it. I may not be a raw beginner, but I'm also a long way from being an expert and have felt very welcome in this community from day one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think it's important that this be said because that is not the case in every Stack Exchange site. I'm not naming any but there are a couple where I've had quite negative experiences for a variety of reasons (which are readily quantifiable if anyone wants to discuss it elsewhere), even though I'm not a beginner in those topics, and I was left to wonder how intimidated raw beginners might be. They don't rate highly on the pedagogical front. Those sites could learn a great deal from this one and Maths.SE, which is a close second in my opinion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is my way of saying thanks but more than that I think it's important to have a closer look at TeX.SE and highlight the reasons why I think this site works so well."

The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`.

We will have a two stage process, first 'nomination' then 'election'. The first phase runs for five days, until 1700 GMT on 2014-01-07.  Each person who wishes to be considered should post an answer, where they can (if they wish) say what makes them a good choice. They should then immediately delete their answer. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second phase will then begin. All of the answers will be undeleted, and everyone should take a look at these answers and vote for deserving candidates: remember there are eight places available! Again, there will be five days to vote, ending 1700 GMT on 2014-01-12. At that stage, the top eight names will be forwarded to the StackExchange community staff for notification to TUG.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the event of a tie in number of votes, the mod team will decide which of the tied members are put forward to StackExchange. The mod team may also include additional names _if_ at the end of the voting process there are fewer than eight nominees with positive scores." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I used the June 2013 data dump (formerly here: http://www.clearbits.net/torrents/2141-jun-2013) and extracted the tex.se portion into a MongoDB database instance for easy querying.  The dataset consisted of over 103K Post records and 27K User records.  Every post has a type associated with it.  The Post types we're interested in for this problem are &quot;Question&quot; and &quot;Answer&quot;.  There were over 40K Questions and 60K Answers in this dataset.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With these Question and Answer posts, a graph can be constructed, connecting two users from the dataset with an edge if those users contributed to the same question (by either posting the question or posting an answer to the question).  This can be thought of as a co-authorship network.  Once constructed, this co-authorship graph consisted of 13775 vertices and 67002 edges.  For the sake of analysis, I only worked with the [giant component](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_component) (which I'll call &quot;the graph&quot; or &quot;the network&quot; from here onward).  Some of the basic statistics of the graph are listed here:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Number of Vertices: 13589&#xD;&#xA;- Number of Edges: 66882&#xD;&#xA;- Average Degree: 9.843&#xD;&#xA;- Degree [Assortativity Coeff.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assortativity): -0.248&#xD;&#xA;- Avg. [Clustering Coeff.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clustering_coefficient): 0.527&#xD;&#xA;- Transitivity: 0.054&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So Ethan's guess above was pretty close to the actual average degree for the network.  The negative assortativity coefficient is interesting: in academic coauthorship networks (and other social networks), we usually see a positive assortativity measure, which indicates that network &quot;hubs&quot; tend to connect to other hubs (see http://prl.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v89/i20/e208701).  The tex.se network exhibits the opposite tendancy: hubs tend to connect to &quot;smaller&quot; nodes.  This property is probably desirable for this setting - it means that the more experienced TeX users in the community are interacting more often with the less experienced members, presumably helping to spread their knowledge throughout the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Degree Distribution for the graph follows an approximately power-law distribution.  Using the python power-law fitting [package](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/powerlaw), a fit was obtained with alpha = 1.93 for minimum degree 4.  The distribution looks like this:&#xD;&#xA;![tex.se degree distribution][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We can also look at who the users with the highest degree are; the higher the degree of the user, the more posts the user has participated in as a &quot;co-author&quot;.  The top 20 users in the tex.se coauthorship network by degree are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- egreg 2962&#xD;&#xA;- Gonzalo Medina 2100&#xD;&#xA;- Werner 2009&#xD;&#xA;- David Carlisle 1784&#xD;&#xA;- Herbert 1690&#xD;&#xA;- lockstep 1207&#xD;&#xA;- Peter Grill 1145&#xD;&#xA;- Stefan Kottwitz 1140&#xD;&#xA;- Martin Scharrer 1109&#xD;&#xA;- Mico 944&#xD;&#xA;- Joseph Wright 868&#xD;&#xA;- Alan Munn 828&#xD;&#xA;- Andrew Stacey 823&#xD;&#xA;- Jake 805&#xD;&#xA;- Marco Daniel 770&#xD;&#xA;- Ulrike Fischer 766&#xD;&#xA;- Yiannis Lazarides 764&#xD;&#xA;- Harish Kumar 709&#xD;&#xA;- Heiko Oberdiek 690&#xD;&#xA;- percusse 678&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the sake of fancy visuals, the graph looks like this, although it's hard to draw much from this view (the nodes are colored and sized by degree, so the bigger and bluer a node is, the higher its degree):&#xD;&#xA;![tex.se network global view][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm currently working on some more analysis, so helpfully a better &quot;global view&quot; of the tex.se network will be coming at some point in the near future, along with some other interesting findings.

[Note: I've called the people we put forward 'representatives', but that's mainly because I can't think of a better term. Nominees should not feel the need to represent TeX-sx other than being members of the site and therefore interested in TeX in some way!]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The model for selection of representatives is as follows. We will have a two stage process, first 'nomination' then 'election'. The first phase runs for five days, until 1700 GMT on 2014-01-07.  Each person who wishes to be considered should post an answer, where they can (if they wish) say what makes them a good choice. They should then immediately delete their answer. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second phase will then begin. All of the answers will be undeleted, and everyone should take a look at these answers and vote for deserving candidates: remember there are eight places available! Again, there will be five days to vote, ending 1700 GMT on 2014-01-12. At that stage, the top eight names will be forwarded to the StackExchange community staff for notification to TUG.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the event of a tie in number of votes, the mod team will decide which of the tied members are put forward to StackExchange. The mod team may also include additional names _if_ at the end of the voting process there are fewer than eight nominees with positive scores.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the end of the voting period, the tallies were as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [Harish Kumar](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/11232/harish-kumar), 25&#xD;&#xA; - [Sean Allred](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/17423/sean-allred), 20&#xD;&#xA; - [Ulrike Fischer](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2388/ulrike-fischer), 18&#xD;&#xA; - [cgnieder](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/5049/cgnieder), 18&#xD;&#xA; - [azetina](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/10898/azetina), 17&#xD;&#xA; - [Torbjørn T.](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/586/torbjorn-t), 17&#xD;&#xA; - [Henri Menke](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/10995/henri-menke), 17&#xD;&#xA; - [morbusg](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/1410/morbusg), 17&#xD;&#xA; - [Fran](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/11604/fran), 16&#xD;&#xA; - [Stefan Kottwitz](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213/stefan-kottwitz), 13&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our representatives for 2014 are therefore Harish Kumar, Sean Allred, Ulrike Fischer, cgnieder, azetina, Torbjørn T., Henri Menke, and morbusg.

You the questioner probably do not know the difference between the two!  So think about it from the point of view of the answerer.  To ensure that the answer she provides is sound, she will probably want to create a sample document, make the changes she recommends, and check that it works.  If she *thinks* she knows the answer but doesn't have the time to create a sample document, she may in the interest of quality control refrain from answering at this time.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So make it easy for potential answerers!  Give them a block of code that can be copied, pasted directly into a file, compiled, tweaked, corrected, and pasted back.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here *minimal* means that the problem is isolated and there is nothing in the sample that distracts from the error you have or the effect you desire.  *Working* doesn't mean the problem is solved `:-)`, it means the code sample can be copied-and-pasted and directly compiled.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The site [sscce.org][1] is dedicated to the topic.  There are also several articles on the topic as it applies specifically to LaTeX:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [“Creating a LaTeX Minimal Example”][2] from Dr. Nicola Talbot's LaTeX resources&#xD;&#xA;* [“How to make a ‘minimum example’”][3] from the UK TeX FAQ&#xD;&#xA;* [“What is a minimal working example?”][4] from the de.comp.text.tex newsgroup.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Errors##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I didn't see your question, but I'm guessing that you got some error you haven't seen before, and said something to the effect of &#xD;&#xA;&gt;I tried to compile, but I got the error `Undefined control sequence.'  How can I fix it?  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is next to impossible to answer, unless you expect only answers from psychics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead, look at the line numbers, and post that paragraph or sentence, depending on the scope of the error.  You'll have to add any referenced packages or other components which are critical to the compilation of the section, but make it as focused as possible on the part which is the source of the error. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If there are no helpful line numbers, (make a backup and then) begin removing things you added after the last successful compile.  If you remove everything you just added, perform a binary search by removing halves of the document until you can narrow it down. Then, post the section which caused the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Often, this process will help you to discover the problem and solution yourself!*  If this happens, please still post your minimal example, add your solution as an answer, and accept it later.  This way, future readers can benefit from your work (and you can get a [self-learner][5] badge if your solution was novel enough to get some upvotes!)&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;A better approach to the &quot;I tried to compile...&quot; example above would be something like:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I am trying to typeset the following equation:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \documentclass{article}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \begin{document}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     Alpha particles (named after and denoted by the first letter in the&#xD;&#xA;    Greek alphabet,\[\alpha\]) consist of two protons and two neutrons bound&#xD;&#xA;    together.&#xD;&#xA;    This means that an \[\alfa\] particle is a helium nucleus. &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \end{document}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   But when I compile it with LaTeX I get this error message:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     [22]&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     Undefined control sequence:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \alfa&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     `An \[\alfa\] particle is a helium nucleus.`&#xD;&#xA;&gt; What am I doing wrong?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Enhancements##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other questions are not related to errors, but to a desired effect that the user wants to achieve, of the form:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I want to put (thing) at (place).  How do I do that?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The MWE in this case should: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* be a full document including `\documentclass`, a preamble, `\begin{document}`, and `\end{document}`. &#xD;&#xA;* include enough dummy text to make the document look like the one you're writing.  The [`lipsum`](http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum) and [`blindtext`](http://ctan.org/pkg/blindtext) packages are helpful here in that they provide macros to make lots of text without actually having to type lots of text.&#xD;&#xA;* have your best-so-far implementation of the desired effect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Try to keep your vocabulary accessible—do not assume that because many experts in your field use TeX that all TeX users are familiar with your field.  A question about typesetting affine Dynkin diagrams will not get answered until you find someone who knows TeX *and* math.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have enough reputation to include images, please do.  Images of both the desired effect (mocked up or copied from another document), and the result of your best-so-far implementation.  If you do not have enough reputation to include images, upload to http://imgur.com/ anyway and post the links (an editor will include the images for you).

This is mainly because most editors come pre-set for LaTeX/BibTeX/LaTeX/LaTeX or leave this entirely to the user. I wonder if we should look to create a 'definitive' question to cover this. What I'm imagining is a question with appropriate text to be easy to find, plus instructions for answers (similar to http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/339/latex-editors-ides).

Unfriendly environment in stackoverflow tempted me to post something on their meta and ask them why so serious and what is the purpose of this ***hostility***!? This behavior is completely against the soul of Q/A forum where users actually are coming for answers not for having their questions deleted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To answer your question, in my opinion it is not the quality of the questions at all, but the tolerance of moderators makes TeX.SE a nice forum to be active in. I don't think admins brutally delete the low quality question. In fact, if you compare the way that low quality questions go down in SO and TeX.SE you will realize that here, questions go to -1 and the there is window of opportunity for OP to modify or change the question while in SO, once you have the first -1 you will have the next ones in course of minutes (involving a little bit of personal feelings, I think next down-voters are a slightly victims of cognitive bias*).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To talk a bit about moderators, I will make you an example of one of my [answer](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/94842/22492)s. If you check the edits you will see how *egreg* has improved my answer. And here is when TeX.SE senior users shine. Consider our very own Mr. Egreg egain. A university professor or david or most of other highest ranked users here all very decent, patient and polite persons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I do admit that crazy traffic on SO needs a bit of brutality in moderation but I don't think they do what they do rationally and patiently. Check results of [this](http://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/revision/162105/206627/) query which is the list of top 10 closed questions. These questions are mostly marked as un-constructive!! &#xD;&#xA;To put it into perspective, our highest closed question has the vote of 62 while in SO it has 1479 votes and has been favorited 3691 times.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Stackoverflow:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TeX.SE:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To summarize, I think it's all about moderators and their patience and respect to the OP. If they down-vote they explain why and they wait for modification (instead of writing a sarcastic comment). And by the way, this is the way that moderation on a web2 website should be. I think SO is simply doing it wrong.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;*There is technical term for this phenomenon where the first voters affect the idea of the next ones no matter the quality of the idea (or in this case the question). Anybody knows the technical term?

You the questioner probably do not know the difference between the two!  So think about it from the point of view of the answerer.  To ensure that the answer she provides is sound, she will probably want to create a sample document, make the changes she recommends, and check that it works.  If she *thinks* she knows the answer but doesn't have the time to create a sample document, she may in the interest of quality control refrain from answering at this time.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So make it easy for potential answerers!  Give them a block of code that can be copied, pasted directly into a file, compiled, tweaked, corrected, and pasted back.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here *minimal* means that the problem is isolated and there is nothing in the sample that distracts from the error you have or the effect you desire.  *Working* doesn't mean the problem is solved `:-)`, it means the code sample can be copied-and-pasted and directly compiled.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The site [sscce.org][1] is dedicated to the topic.  There are also several articles on the topic as it applies specifically to LaTeX:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [“Creating a LaTeX Minimal Example”][2] from Dr. Nicola Talbot's LaTeX resources&#xD;&#xA;* [“How to make a ‘minimum example’”][3] from the UK TeX FAQ&#xD;&#xA;* [“What is a minimal working example?”][4] from the de.comp.text.tex newsgroup.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Errors##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I didn't see your question, but I'm guessing that you got some error you haven't seen before, and said something to the effect of &#xD;&#xA;&gt;I tried to compile, but I got the error `Undefined control sequence.'  How can I fix it?  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is next to impossible to answer, unless you expect only answers from psychics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead, look at the line numbers, and post that paragraph or sentence, depending on the scope of the error.  You'll have to add any referenced packages or other components which are critical to the compilation of the section, but make it as focused as possible on the part which is the source of the error. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If there are no helpful line numbers, (make a backup and then) begin removing things you added after the last successful compile.  If you remove everything you just added, perform a binary search by removing halves of the document until you can narrow it down. Then, post the section which caused the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Often, this process will help you to discover the problem and solution yourself!*  If this happens, please still post your minimal example, add your solution as an answer, and accept it later.  This way, future readers can benefit from your work (and you can get a [self-learner][5] badge if your solution was novel enough to get some upvotes!)&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;A better approach to the &quot;I tried to compile...&quot; example above would be something like:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I am trying to typeset the following equation:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \documentclass{article}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \begin{document}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     Alpha particles (named after and denoted by the first letter in the&#xD;&#xA;    Greek alphabet,\[\alpha\]) consist of two protons and two neutrons bound&#xD;&#xA;    together.&#xD;&#xA;    This means that an \[\alfa\] particle is a helium nucleus. &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \end{document}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   But when I compile it with LaTeX I get this error message:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     [22]&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     Undefined control sequence:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \alfa&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     `An \[\alfa\] particle is a helium nucleus.`&#xD;&#xA;&gt; What am I doing wrong?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Enhancements##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other questions are not related to errors, but to a desired effect that the user wants to achieve, of the form:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I want to put (thing) at (place).  How do I do that?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The MWE in this case should: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* be a full document including `\documentclass`, a preamble, `\begin{document}`, and `\end{document}`. &#xD;&#xA;* include enough dummy text to make the document look like the one you're writing.  The [`lipsum`](http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum), [`kantlipsum`](http://ctan.org/pkg/kantlipsum) and [`blindtext`](http://ctan.org/pkg/blindtext) packages are helpful here in that they provide macros to make lots of text without actually having to type lots of text.&#xD;&#xA;* have your best-so-far implementation of the desired effect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Try to keep your vocabulary accessible—do not assume that because many experts in your field use TeX that all TeX users are familiar with your field.  A question about typesetting affine Dynkin diagrams will not get answered until you find someone who knows TeX *and* math.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have enough reputation to include images, please do.  Images of both the desired effect (mocked up or copied from another document), and the result of your best-so-far implementation.  If you do not have enough reputation to include images, upload to http://imgur.com/ anyway and post the links (an editor will include the images for you).

Does your problem show up with any image? Then use the **option `demo`** for the package `graphicx` – this way, other users who don’t have your image file won’t get an error message because of that. If you prefer an actual image that you can rotate, stretch, etc., use the **[`mwe`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/mwe) package**, which provides a number of dummy images, named e.g. `example-image`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Text&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    In \cite{cite:0}, it is shown that $\Delta \subset {U_{\mathcal{{D}}}}$.

Now it has long been known that there exists &#xD;&#xA;    an almost everywhere Clifford right-canonically pseudo-integrable, Clairaut &#xD;&#xA;    subset \cite{cite:0}. The groundbreaking work of J. Davis on isomorphisms was a &#xD;&#xA;    major advance. In future work, we plan to address questions of uniqueness as &#xD;&#xA;    well as degeneracy. Thus in \cite{cite:0}, the main result was the &#xD;&#xA;    classification of meromorphic, completely left-invariant systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{lipsum} % just for dummy text&#xD;&#xA;    ...&#xD;&#xA;    \lipsum[1-3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Foo bar baz.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need a **few paragraphs of text** to demonstrate your problem?

Then keep it maximally simple; avoid formulae, italics, tables – anything that’s not essential to the problem.

While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. [Accepting and upvoting answers is the preferred way here](http://tex.stackexchange.com/about) to say “thank you” to users who helped you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  And optionally for all:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `A suggestion: Do us a favour and change your username to something more telling than &quot;user1234&quot;.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Merging accounts ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `It looks like you've got two separate accounts, which means you cannot edit your&#xD;&#xA;original post or leave comments.

Any place we have voting (close, open, delete, undelete, offensive, etc), that vote will reach the threshold and take effect immediately if a single moderator casts a vote.&#xD;&#xA;- Moderators can lock posts. Locked posts cannot be voted on or changed in any way.&#xD;&#xA;- Moderators can protect posts. Protected posts cannot be answered by new users.&#xD;&#xA;- Moderators can see all data in the system, including votes and user profile information.&#xD;&#xA;- Moderators can place users in timed suspension, and delete users if necessary.&#xD;&#xA;- Moderators can perform large-scale maintenance actions like merge questions and batch retag.&#xD;&#xA;- Moderators have access to the moderator flag queue&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How do community moderators work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The following guidelines are provided to all our community moderators, and all moderators of any type are expected to abide by them:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. As a moderator, your actions now represent our community; please act accordingly. You are in a position of the highest trust.&#xD;&#xA;2. Your goal is to guide the community with gentle — but firm — intervention. **Respect** your fellow community members at all times; demonstrate **fairness** and **impartiality** in your actions.&#xD;&#xA;3. Keep the discussion reasonably on topic by providing visible feedback to indicate where and why things have gone off topic.&#xD;&#xA;4. Regularly check for and deal with posts **flagged for moderator attention**.&#xD;&#xA;5. In the case of serious disputes, communicate directly with users via email to help **mediate and resolve disputes**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### When should I seek out a community moderator?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Don't hesitate to [flag posts for moderator attention][1] any time there is something you feel strongly needs to be brought to the attention of a moderator. And if it is extremely urgent, you can always mail the address provided in the footer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/flag-posts&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The groundbreaking work of J. Davis on isomorphisms was a &#xD;&#xA;    major advance. In future work, we plan to address questions of uniqueness as &#xD;&#xA;    well as degeneracy.

Then keep it maximally simple; avoid formulae, italics, tables – anything that’s not essential to the problem.

A link to the excellent answer given [here][1] would suffice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/a/3225/9077" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There are also some FAQs (like the famous and repeatable asked how-to-place-my-figure-here question) which need to be linked to the appropriate existing question. Sometimes I have issues finding the related question quickly even if I already linked to it a couple of times before.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I thought it would be good to have a collection of such often references questions sorted after topic in a meta post similar to our create [Text building blocks](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/430).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions should be listed after topic. Every topic as CW answer to this post.&#xD;&#xA;Please use the following format:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ## Topic Headline at Start of Answer Post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * [question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;) [2 spaces] [linebreak]&#xD;&#xA;     ``[question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;)``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This way the question is provided as link (for quick access from this page) as well as markdown code suitable for comments (and as in-line link in a chat message). The URL can be received by using the `link` link below a question. There is also an [stackapps app](http://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](http://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format. The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`. The first order headlines are a little to large IMHO.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Some others ask for alternatives and cannot be definitively answered (and we have [big-list](http://tex.stackexchange.com/tags/big-list/info) tag for them).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a third kind of possible questions: tendency survey. These questions ask for a tendency or for the opinion of the community on a specific point. This third kind of questions is not accepted today on TeX.SE (even if lots of questions masked as authoritative ones are, in fact, of this kind).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my opinion, to know tendencies of TeX community is quite important: if I am interested by `LuaLaTeX` for example, I would like to know how many people use it. If I started using `LaTeX` for bibliography, I would like to know what system is the most popular between `BibTeX`, `BibLaTeX`, `natbib`, ... This information is epistemologically relevant. Knowing it avoids me to choose an outdated solution for which it will be difficult to obtain help.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could think we have the, previously mentioned, [big-list](http://tex.stackexchange.com/tags/big-list/info) tag for opinion surveys. Indeed, this tag is used for these questions sometimes. For example : http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/339/latex-editors-ides. Let's study this example furthermore: when you read this topic, you believe to know that Emacs+Auctex is the more popular LaTeX editor. In fact, you can't know that for sure:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Perhaps, there are anti-x (where x is an editor) who have voted down it (and it's the case in our example). So the results are false.&#xD;&#xA; 2. Perhaps a solution (editor in our example) is the first but there are plenty of alternatives and it is, in fact, a very low percent of the community which is it. It is very different when 90% of the community used a tool and when 20% used another tool.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To sum up, there is no way in TeX.SE to handle in a proper way opinion polls. If we recognized there are important to decide what software used, we should find a way to treat them with statistics and correct polling methods.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;P-S: The first solution to a problem is to use the correct tool to achieve our specific purpose.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Indeed, some of the questions which 'we' (TeX-SX users) allow would get closed on the 'main site' (StackOverflow): they would call them 'shopping lists'. However, the feeling on TeX-SX is that some more 'open' questions are acceptable provided they are structured in the right way. The IDE question is a good example of that: the answers have been put into a standard format to aid comparison.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Voting on answers will always be somewhat self-selecting. Regular TeX-SX users form a particular, small, subset of TeX users, and will have an outlook on TeX matters that isn't necessarily the same as the 'average' TeX user. WE also know that to some extent voting does reflect the timing of posting answers: the first answer tends to be at an advantage in voting terms. As such, 'opinion polls' here are best limited to somewhat 'fun' items, such as the occasional competition (Christmas trees, for example): even then, the model 'answer, delete, undelete all answers in one go' is needed to have any hope of getting a reasonable spread of votes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Doing _proper_ surveys is hard work, and really needs something different to the StackExchange model."

If you need the language&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for one particular document, put it into the preamble of that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; document. Otherwise create the local file lstlang0.sty or add the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; definition to that file, but use `\lst@definelanguage` instead of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `\lstdefinelanguage. [...]` However, I can't find a reason for this&#xD;&#xA;&gt; distinction between `\lst@definelanguage` and `\lstdefinelanguage` in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; either the manual or the developer guide. Is the distinction&#xD;&#xA;&gt; important?&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; You may be wondering why I'm asking this question... Well, I've&#xD;&#xA;&gt; managed to get everything working in my style file using&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `\lstdefinelanguage`. That said, I'd like to follow the guidelines&#xD;&#xA;&gt; laid out in the listings documentation as closely as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; However, if I simply substitute `\lst@definelanguage` for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `\lstdefinelanguage`, I run into problems. Here is an MWE:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     % --- generate the style file --- \begin{filecontents*}{mystyle.sty}&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e} \ProvidesPackage{mystyle}&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \DeclareOption*{\OptionNotUsed}   \ProcessOptions\relax&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \RequirePackage{listings}&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \def\mylanguage{Mylanguage}&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\lstdefinelanguage%&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \expandafter{\mylanguage}{keywords={foo}}&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \endinput \end{filecontents*} % --- end of style file ---&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \usepackage{mystyle}&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \begin{document} \begin{lstlisting}[language=Mylanguage] foo bar baz&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \end{lstlisting}&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Everything is hunky-dory with the code above, but if I simply replace&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `\lstdefinelanguage` by `\lst@definelanguage`, the listings packages&#xD;&#xA;&gt; throws two errors:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     Couldn't load requested language.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     language mylanguage undefined.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; This seems to contradict the manual's claim that `\lstdefinelanguage`&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and `\lst@definelanguage` have the same syntax; at least, based on my&#xD;&#xA;&gt; simple test, they don't seem equivalent when in comes to expansion of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; their first argument.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Should I use `\lst@definelanguage` instead of `\lstdefinelanguage` and how&#xD;&#xA;&gt; can I get the former to work in my MWE?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My answer was to change the value to `iftrue` in the corresponding line of `\lst@definelanguage` in the file `lstmisc.sty` of the `listings` package, and the document, therefore, would compile accordingly. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only useful remark that one of the main commentators managed to say in the end, was in the lines of: I use `\lstdefinelanguage` because I don't know the internal commands. endquote. This however, left upon me a disconcerting impression that the commentator was just trying the mend this miserable tore up question. What else?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The other remarks were clearly copied verbatim from the `listings` manual. That is, the comments about the local file and the use of `\lstdefinelanguage`, with the corresponding language files that follow. &#xD;&#xA;Not surprisingly, the OP was desperately willing to accept this answer. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But this is clearly a vague excuse. A vague excuse that the OP was desperately willing to accept, So desperate in fact, that I am sure he regretted posting the question, he regretted further elaboration of its premises, and generally speaking, asking this kind of question to start with. Then my answer came in, which set off the alarms. Then back to the OP who should have done the homework but he didn't. The commentator, on the other hand, should have provided a better opinion, but he failed. And the bottom line is that this question that I loved so much, me, me, not the OP nor the commentator, is now, sadly, nowwhere to be found. Google cache no longer applies, and the realization that the best answer to fix it, was largely ignored and downvoted, is a fact now. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, back to the question:&#xD;&#xA;Should I use \lst@definelanguage instead of \lstdefinelanguage and how can I get the former to work in my MWE?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* No, you can't use `\lst@definelanguage`, because the manual is incorrect, but you can change it to `\iftrue`&#xD;&#xA;* Yes, you can use `\lst@definelanguage`  because the manual is correct, and you can change it to `\iftrue` &#xD;&#xA;* It's up to you, you can't use `\lst@definelanguage` because the manual is incorrect, but you can change it to `\iftrue`&#xD;&#xA;* It's not up to you, you can use `\lst@definelanguage` because the manual is correct, but you can change it to `\iftrue`&#xD;&#xA;* It's not up to you, you can't use `\lst@definelanguage` because the manual is incorrect, but you can change it to `\iftrue`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What are my options? If I only knew how to count. But most important, give me one reason why this question should be deleted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/160804" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm all in favour of them, of course, and of encouraging people to use them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But I think, mostly, a site like this is valuable precisely because it does something a bit different: it enables people to ask *specific* questions, often based on a particular problem that they are having. Sometimes (often!) that problem could be solved by working through a systematic guide. But for a host of reasons that doesn't work for people. Of course it's frustrating if the only reason is that people haven't bothered to do basic research. But that's by no means the only reason people ask what may seem &quot;very basic&quot; questions: with so many packages, so much documentation, and such a &quot;learning curve&quot; in some cases, it can be hard. So people come here with *focused* questions dealing with particular problems; the more expert in the particular field can make suggestions, and everyone learns something.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In general the community here is very good about not criticising questions for failing to read manuals and so forth. What we demand rather insistently is something much simpler: that people make *their problem* clear (for instance with an MWE).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Even frequently asked questions aren't straightforward -- partly because the puzzled novice may not realize that the question they are asking is *actually* equivalent to another question. The expert can see at once that asking how to convert a chapter heading to a sans serif font, or to make it centered, or to put a line under it, are all related questions. The novice may not. Even when a question is closed as a duplicate, that will often be giving useful information to the person who asked it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the real world this is how (many) people learn (many) things: not by systematic study, but by asking questions of more qualified people and gradually building up a store of information and good (sometimes bad!) habits. For many people, this site can be the patient TeXpert in the next door office. And when you consult such a colleague, he or she answers your specific question---he doesn't give you a prepared handout, however good it is.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Turning too many questions into relatively complex FAQs may be counterproductive: it generates long and systematic documentation, which contains material that is both relevant *and* irrelevant to a particular practical problem. But in many cases it is the difficulties that this sort of documentation has which are exactly the &quot;need&quot; this site fills. It also affects those who answer questions. Having simple questions which are &quot;low hanging fruit&quot; and can be answered correctly and helpfully by many people is a good way of encouraging the sort of two-way participation that the site needs. Polishing an FAQ is a different task.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, as a matter of principle, I don't think much should be done to discourage questions which are (to the expert) rather basic and even repetitive. Sometimes an FAQ sort of answer will develop quite naturally: that's fine. Often questions will be duplicates, and best answered by cross-referring. And that's fine too. Often it will be possible to refer a questioner to systematic information available in documentation, or elsewhere. But in general I think we do best when we focus on the basic idea that the aim here is to provide practical answers to practical problems, taking (within reason) questioners as we find them, and not aiming too hard to systematize the information available, for which there are other resources already."

One is as a real-time &quot;I've asked this question and I want a quick answer now&quot; type of site, and the other is as a longer term repository of questions and definitive answers. I think that many of us here take this latter view of the site. As a result, we have lots of very high quality answers, and a relatively low number of competing answers for many questions.  We also tend to comment on answers to improve them rather than posting competing answers.  This is a very good thing, IMO and not only makes the site a useful long term resource, but also fosters a real sense of community where people are willing to help each other rather than fighting over reputation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think that having lots of competing answers to any particular question just generates noise and makes the site less useful.  Also, as you can see from other sites where this practice is more common,  when there are lots of answers, early answers tend to get upvotes and very good but later answers sometimes don't.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The commenting facility however, provides a real time remedy to this situation: a comment that also provides an answer may solve the original questioner's problem, and (as others have noted) at the same time provide time for us to find and link to other related or duplicate questions.  This again adds to the value of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Although it might appear that this system would lead to a lot of unanswered questions, if answers in comments don't get turned into answers, in practice this is not much of a problem.  We hold a monthly &quot;Answer the unanswered&quot; session, which catches most, if not all of these cases, and I suspect that the number of unanswered questions that have been answered only by a comment is very low. Also, when comments are resolved they are usually turned into answers. If you see such cases, feel free to ping the commenter in another comment and ask them to convert their comment into an answer."

The groundbreaking work of J. Davis on isomorphisms was a &#xD;&#xA;    major advance. In future work, we plan to address questions of uniqueness as &#xD;&#xA;    well as degeneracy. Thus in \cite{cite:0}, the main result was the &#xD;&#xA;    classification of meromorphic, completely left-invariant systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{lipsum} % just for dummy text&#xD;&#xA;    ...&#xD;&#xA;    \lipsum[1-3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Foo bar baz.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need a **few paragraphs of text** to demonstrate your problem?

If the code is part of the list, indent it with *eight* spaces instead of four. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. If the code is not part of the list, but follows after it, add something between the two, such as an HTML comment, i.e.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;         &lt;!--  --&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A tip for indenting blocks with eight spaces: Select the block and hit the `{}` button/Ctrl+K to indent with four spaces. Then write a single character (such as your period) on the line just before the block, select both this and the entire block, then hit the `{}` button again. Finally, delete the single character."

Only applies to other people in the comments that you are commenting on.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  2. Response must include @username that you are referring to, where &quot;username&quot; is a reasonable match to the user's current display name (as seen in the comments above yours).&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  3. There must be a starts-with, case insensitive match of at least THREE characters to the displayname. _UPDATE:_ @ab will _only_ give a match if the third letter of the displayname is a non-letter.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  4. Spaces cannot be used to match, so if the person's display name is &quot;Peter Smith&quot; then just use @peter to match.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  5. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if there are five people named &quot;John&quot; in the comments, writing &quot;hey @john, have you considered apples?&quot; will match the most recent John to comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These older rules don't include some later features: now the look up for names tries to look in more places for a match and tolerates omitted spaces. And: anyone who _edits_ a question or answer is also on the list of people who are considered possible matches for notification. Hence, the official rules, as [described on meta.SO](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1093/make-recent-activity-and-responses-show-new-comments-on-questions-answers-i-have/35913#35913):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;1. Notifications apply to the author, commenters, and [editors](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/36052/allow-post-editor-to-see-comments-directed-at-him/36055#36055) of the question or answer that you are commenting on—users not in that list cannot be notified.  The question and answers are all considered independently.  For example, if Alice was the author of, commented on, or edited the question or her answer, then you cannot notify her by commenting on Bob's answer (unless Alice *also* participated in that answer), and vice versa.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;2. You must include *@name*, where *name* is a reasonable match to a user's current display name.  Users who have not set a display name in their profile are not notified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;3. If the first word in the display name is at least three characters long, then there must be a starts-with, case-insensitive match of at least three characters in the display name.  This means *@a* and *@ab* will never match anyone, [unless][1] a user uses a first word that is only two characters. Like: *@Jo* will notify Jo Miller, but not John, and @B. will notify B. Gates, but not B.Gates. If there are more than three characters in *@name*, then all given characters must match (neither *@alix* nor *@aliceinwonderland* will match user Alice).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;4. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if five people named John are participating, *@john* will match the most recent John. (Use the next rule to differentiate.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;5. Spaces are removed from the display names for matching purposes, so to match Peter Smith you may use *@pet*, *@peter*, *@peters*, or *@petersmith*.  The last two are useful if Peter Jones is also participating. Single quotes, dots, dashes and underscores should [not](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/51911/the-dot-in-username-within-first-3-character-preventing-from-comment-replies/51913#51913) be removed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;6. Special characters [are replaced](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/48968/peter-works-for-peter/49409#49409) with their simple equivalent. To reply to Piëre you can use both *@piëre* and *@piere*. And to reply to Jörg you could use *@jorg*, [but not](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/89051/joerg-works-for-jorg) *@joerg*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;7. Comments containing more than one *@name* [are blocked](http://meta.math.stackexchange.com/questions/2094/should-we-discourage-the-user-of-multiple-redundant-username-pings/2615#2615) unless they contain a backtick.&#xD;&#xA;In the latter case, only the first name mentioned using the *@name* syntax will be [notified](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2035/notify-user-when-their-name-is-mentioned-in-comment/35914#35914). For example, *@alice @bob Hi!\`* will notify Alice (if she has participated in that post), but not Bob.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;8. An exception is the case when the first *@name* either matched nobody, or matched the post's author (and thus isn't necessary); in this case, the next *@name* will be checked.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;9. When editing a comment within its limited editing period, if you change or add *@name*, [the notification may or may not reach the new recipient](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/40989/will-edited-comments-reach-addressees/74781#74781) depending on timing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;10. The first author of the question or answer will always be notified of any new comment. There is no need to use *@name* to notify them. (You may still use it for clarity, if needed; however if only you and the author have been commenting on the post so far, the *@name* will be automatically removed from the beginning of the comment, as it adds no value.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;11. The notification must begin with a space or be at the start of the comment. For example, you [cannot use markup](http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/39/whats-your-favourite-quote-about-programming/1079#comment-19850) such as italics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;12. Single trailing punctuation such as a dot, comma or colon is ignored. Like *@name, yes* works, but *@name... no* does not. (Though a dot is valid in a username, the last dot [is removed for matching](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/75811/using-user-name-colon-to-refer-to-a-user-in-comments/75812#75812). Adding excessive dots is [not supported](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/88631/why-was-i-not-notified/88639#88639).)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;13. The notification only works for the username that [is current](http://chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/481203#481203) at the time the comment is submitted, not any previous username(s) the target may have had.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some examples of supported notifications:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name: some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name. Some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name, some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `some text, @name`&#xD;&#xA;  - `some text, @name, more text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `Some text, @name.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Examples that will **not** trigger notifications:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name...`&#xD;&#xA;  - `abc@name`&#xD;&#xA;  - `*@name*`&#xD;&#xA;  - `*@name:*`&#xD;&#xA;  - `[@name](http://some-url)`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@[name](http://some-url)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/61960/allow-for-comment-reply-to-usernames-with-less-than-three-characters-in-first-wor/75809#75809" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Let me explain why, exactly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After doing an exhaustive search (looking at all posts that match `&gt;\s*!` † anywhere in their entire history) I found that the following posts contain the spoiler syntax.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1.

[A revision of][5] MiKTeX 2.9 Does NOT Support \`hypernat\`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Depending on how you want to count (affected, or potentially affected) this is either 0.01% or 0.07% of all posts to date.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I hope it's clear (and not contentious) that this is a very rare problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;*Posted prior to the [spoiler feature being added][6], so not *actually* affected, but could potentially be if a non-trivial edit is made (and the editor ignores the preview).&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;†This would grab everything that even *might* trigger the spoiler code.  The results were then checked by hand to find the true matches.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, it is *still* a problem which should be addressed.  I'll touch on why the solutions proposed here are unacceptable, and then go into what has actually been done to alleviate it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Simply turn spoilers off** - this would make Tex.SE's markdown syntax (negatively) distinct from every other SE's.  Assuming non-trivial cross pollination of users (that is, new users who are familiar with some other SE) this is potentially confusing.  Given how rare the &quot;accidental spoiler&quot; problem is, I call this a wash** at best.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Tweak the spoiler CSS** - most obviously, posts would still lose `!` when they tripped over the spoiler syntax which would just lead to more bug reports.  Less obviously, this would be an irreversible change; if spoilers were to become a desired feature (something that can't be discounted, [given][7] [its][8] [popularity][9] [as][10] a [feature-request]), we couldn't re-enable it because doing so would *retroactively* hide text in old posts.  Its worth noting that (in supporting browsers) a user can use User CSS to do this client-side.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;**The only markdown feature not on *everywhere* is LaTeX rendering (which is on for [CSTheory][11], [Math][12], and [Physics][13]).  This is because the [MathJax][14] library is so large (and cpu intesive) that it has a deleterious effect on page load.  It is also &quot;additive&quot; with regards to our baseline markdown, making it less dangerous in my opinion.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ok, now for what has actually been done to mitigate this (already, vanishingly rare) issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the time of the only truly affected post's creation, the preview pane wasn't rendering spoilers.  This could definitely hit TeX harder than other sites, and upon discovering that it (already being [status-planned]) was kicked up on the schedule.  You can go [take a look][15] at the renderer to see why this took a bit, but its out there now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; It should be more or less impossible&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to *accidentally* post a spoiler now,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; as the preview pane will show it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This would still leave the problem of generating a spoiler unintentionally (even though it probably wouldn't go so far as to actually be posted).  So, to mitigate that, the &quot;quote&quot; button on the post editor will no longer generate spoilers***.  This was already pretty tricky to do accidentally, as only very short messages would be placed on a single line in a quote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The quote button will no longer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; produce spoilers, regardless of the length&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of the selected text.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a less technical note, there was some confusion as to how the spoiler syntax actually worked.  *I blame me*.  I thought my [initial post][16] was clear, but then again of course **I** knew how it worked.  Props to [Charles Stewart][17] for drawing my attention to it with his [meta.SO post][18].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The [explanation][19] of the spoiler feature has been improved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;***This is true for all sane input (where sane ~= contains some whitespace).&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TL;DR version&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a vanishingly rare problem, the proposed solutions have downsides out of proportion with what they're trying to solve (especially in light of its rarity), and steps have been taken to mitigate the issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3422/why-is-the-mactex-distribution-so-large-is-there-anything-smaller-for-os-x&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4085/how-can-i-change-the-legends-location-in-a-pgfplot/4134#4134&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4268&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4723&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/posts/7340/revisions&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1191/add-markdown-support-for-hidden-until-you-click-text-aka-spoilers/71396#71396&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1191/add-markdown-support-for-hidden-until-you-click-text-aka-spoilers&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: http://meta.gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/736/provide-a-markdown-extension-to-hide-text-anti-spoiler&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://meta.rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/192/should-we-worry-about-spoilers/193#193&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://meta.math.stackexchange.com/questions/1349/re-spoiler-space&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://cstheory.stackexchange.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: http://math.stackexchange.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: http://physics.stackexchange.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: http://www.mathjax.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://github.com/derobins/wmd&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1191/add-markdown-support-for-hidden-until-you-click-text-aka-spoilers/71396#71396&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/175&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/72877/whats-the-exact-syntax-for-spoiler-markup&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/72877/whats-the-exact-syntax-for-spoiler-markup/72878#72878" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm not sure if the tex.sx community is aware of it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It doesn't happen too often on tex.sx, but today it did happen:&#xD;&#xA;TH saved an edit of [this question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/9517/1235) with the time stamp `2011-01-23 02:11:49`; then lockstep saved an edit with the time stamp `2011-01-23 02:12:01`, so 12 seconds later. Both edits were to mark a code sample; TH's edit actually involved one more change than lockstep's, but this got overwritten by lockstep's edit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To make things worse, I made another edit (hours later). _Why worse?_ &amp;nbsp;There's a little known (I believe) feature on stackexchange that [frequent edits of a post make it CW](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/11740/what-are-community-wiki-posts/11741#11741), namely 5 edits by different users or 10 edits by the OP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So having multiple users edit one and the same post has two downsides: 1. Only the edits of the user who save his edits last take effect; thus the effort of the other users is wasted. 2 There's the danger of making a question CW shortly after it has been posted (so far not a great danger on tex.sx).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is already [some warning implemented](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1577/notifications-for-concurrent-changes-when-editing-posts/28119#28119), but this doesn't seem to suffice.

When I hit the &quot;edit&quot; button shortly (let's say &lt;5 minutes) after another user, the system shows a message like&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   &gt; Another user may currently be editing this post. Do you want to proceed?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   (Very similar to [this proposal](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/73924); should the name of the other user(s) be given?).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. When I hit the &quot;Save Edits&quot; button, the system shows a message like&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   &gt; Another user has edited this post while you were editing. If you proceed to save your edits, his edits will be lost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   (This could still be improved a lot, see e.g. [this old suggestion](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1577/notifications-for-concurrent-changes-when-editing-posts/1625#1625), but my present proposal would be simpler to implement.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Maybe my points 1. and 2. could/should both be implemented?

In **questions and answers**, there are only two (quite rare) cases where things might go wrong (see below for backslash escaping of backticks in comments):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. You need a backtick in the inline code. Then you can _either_ use double backticks ` `` ` _or_ &amp;nbsp;`&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`&amp;nbsp; to mark your code. For example, both &#xD;&#xA; - ``` ``\catcode`@=11`` ``` and&#xD;&#xA; - ``&lt;code&gt;\catcode`@=11&lt;/code&gt;``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; give ``\catcode`@=11``. Another example: ``` `` &quot;` `` ``` gives `` &quot;` `` (note the spaces!).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. You want spaces in the beginning and/or the end of the inline code, or you need multiple spaces within. Then you have to use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, which has 3 spaces between &quot;a&quot; and &quot;test&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` is an alternative for backticks, but it behaves differently: You can use HTML entities such as `&amp;nbsp;` inside. For example, `&lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, whereas `` `&amp;nbsp;` `` gives `&amp;nbsp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a rule of thumb, use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` only as a last resort.

Moreover, `&lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Until 20 February 2011, markdown in **comments** [was quite a hassle](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/168/1235). Now the rules are [almost the same as for questions and answers](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/79546/can-we-please-have-a-place-where-changes-to-the-markdown-syntax-are-documented/79981#79981). These are the differences:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` to mark inline code doesn't work in comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you need a backtick in inline code in a comment, you can (and must) escape it (doesn't work in questions/answers!): `` `\catcode\`@=11` `` gives ``\catcode`@=11``.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. \#2 means that `` `\\` `` will _not_ give `\\` because the second backslash is interpreted as an escape for the subsequent backtick. This can be solved by using double backticks ` `` ` if the inline code ends with a backslash: ` ``\\`` ` gives `\\`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It is not possible to have spaces in the beginning and/or the end of inline code in comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One more important recent change: Inline code in comments can now be followed by a letter. For example, `` `\vspace`s `` now renders as `\vspace`s." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But I'd like to see it going further, with positive second derivative as well as first.  What would you like to see the community doing that it isn't currently doing?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (Note that I'm not necessarily asking for what you _yourself_ would do (though you can answer that), but what you would look to encourage the community to do.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright][1]** One area that I think would help the moderators is more voting to close, _etc_., by high-reputation users. The model for SO is that most things happen on a community basis, so as we get more high reputation users then there should actually be _less_ for the moderators to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess one thing I'd want to avoid is 'mission creep'. The SO model works well for what it does: answering specific questions. However, there are other places to hold general discussion or to run a 'curated' FAQ. The {TeX} site is good, but it's not a panacea and I would not like to see this as the _only_ place for TeX-related support.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): The most important part is simply having good answers and easy to find knowledge. Then Google (and so on) will keep new users flowing in. Moderators are playing an important role here (though the majority of the editing/organizing work is of course done by the community as a whole). Improving questions is helping a lot for getting the search engines to find them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Apart from that, I liked some of the ideas discussed in http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/780/how-about-a-featured-tex-post. Featured answers could potentially increase answer quality (simply by pointing out what a good answer looks like) and some typesetting competitions can increase the amount of community involvement (and get some more people to read meta more frequently).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I like the idea of featuring some longer contributions.  Although we're good at answering many questions, we are answering some of them several times (&quot;What is `@` for?&quot;) still and perhaps featuring some of our most popular answers will get those frequently asked questions a bit less frequently asked.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think there should be some more &quot;fun&quot; questions as well, perhaps on meta.  I understand on StackOverflow Fridays are a day to ask more free-form questions and it would be enjoyable to shoot from the hip once in a while.  As long as it's vaguely TeX-related.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have also considered a bit more active recruitment.  Currently our questions are very findable so googlers are reaching us.  But we could also make an effort to invite package developers and mailing lists users to join the site.  I had even proposed a flier or trinket to distribute at meetings where a lot of TeX users attend (e.g., the Joint AMS/MAA Meetings).  Where we would get the funds for that kind of thing is a another question, but it's an idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep** At the moment, the vast majority of questions is about specific, sometimes pressing issues (like &quot;Why is symbol xy not showing up?&quot;). I'd like to see the community ask more questions about broader issues (best practices, pros and cons of different approaches to solve a problem). An excellent example is Seamus' question about [Theorem packages][2]. It probably makes our site more prominent at Google, but above that, it's a great resource for &quot;power users&quot; and developers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** Collaboration. Although CW posts are used sometimes when answering questions (I do when summarizing answers from my questions), it is rare that somebody comes along and decides to edit and append the post instead of adding their own. I understand that people do this out of respect towards others' work (and sometimes to get some rep themselves), but when I mark a post CW, I'd very much like somebody to come along to improve it, if they deem necessary. I think we can do more to promote collaboration on (some aspects of) the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer):&#xD;&#xA;Like Andrew said, the site is already doing very well. In some points it might be (even) better organized. For example I [miss a site-map](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/79977/156875) here which tells you about all the links and pages which exist. Some of them can't even be reached through hyper-links on the site and others are difficult to find.  &#xD;&#xA;Other things were already mentioned, like *tag wikis* and close votes.  &#xD;&#xA;I could also imaging some form of *polls* or *surveys* on meta. On &lt;http://perlmonks.org&gt;, a perl user site similar to SX but written of course in Perl, these surveys are interesting and/or funny. This could be done on Meta quite tidy in one thread (aka question) with small surveys as &quot;answers&quot;. The real survey answers are then pre-defined comments anyone can up-vote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another idea for improvement popped into my mind several times while seeing some bad user code on this side is to create more community wiki pages which describe some common errors and best practices. Maybe an own small version of LaTeX tabu and some small How To's. These pages make then excellent link targets from other questions. Google favors this site and therefore these pages will be found quickly by people which looking for it. In my opinion the community wiki format gives an excellent platform for these kind of shared posts. As moderator I like to encourage the creation and maintenance of these pages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5599/theorem-packages-which-to-use-which-conflict" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This auto-indents the highlighted code by 4 spaces (and also adds the empty lines in the beginning and in the end).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;_See below for code blocks in lists and blockquotes._&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Syntax highlighting ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By default, your code gets some LaTeX syntax highlighting. (This doesn't work on meta.tex.sx, so unfortunately you can't see it here.) If you _don't_ want this syntax highlighting, you can use a special HTML comment to specify the language. For _no highlighting_, use&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;        (J:\MiKTeX2.9\tex\latex\elsarticle\elsarticle.cls&#xD;&#xA;        Document Class: elsarticle 2009/09/17, 1.2.0: Elsevier Ltd&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(You wouldn't want `\MiKTeX` to be highlighted as a control sequence, right?) Note that the HTML comment must _not_ be indented, and that the blank line between the `&lt;!-- language: ... --&gt;` and the indented code block is _required_. For a list of supported languages have a look here: [Manually specify language for syntax highlighting](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/78363/manually-specify-language-for-syntax-highlighting/81971#81971).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Emphasizing pieces of the code ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want to highlight parts of your code using **bold** or _slanted_ text, or if you want to &lt;s&gt;strike something out&lt;/s&gt;, you have to use the HTML `&lt;pre&gt;` tag instead of 4 space indentation. For example,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;gives&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;\documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;\usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Note that the `&lt;pre&gt;` and `&lt;/pre&gt;` tags [should be on separate lines](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/84290/can-the-pre-tag-start-in-a-new-line-possible-previewer-bug/99600#99600), without indentation.)&#xD;&#xA;For striking something out, use `&lt;s&gt;...&lt;/s&gt;`.&#xD;&#xA;Using just `&lt;pre&gt;` you don't get syntax highlighting, so you can use this as an alternative to `&lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;`. Be careful, however, to use `&amp;lt;` and `&amp;gt;` if you want `&lt;` and `&gt;` in `&lt;pre&gt;` blocks; you may also need `&amp;amp;` for `&amp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want syntax highlighting _and_ additional emphasis in **bold** or _slanted_, use `&lt;code&gt;` inside the `&lt;pre&gt;` block:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;code&gt;\documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&lt;/code&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that there are no line breaks after `&lt;code&gt;` and before `&lt;/code&gt;`; otherwise the code block would start and end with an empty line (as the second code block in this very answer).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Code blocks in lists ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If your code appears inside a list, you must indent a _further four spaces_ for every level of nesting. An example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    1. The first point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;            This is the code&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    1. The second point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;gives&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The first point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        This is the code&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The second point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So you need 8 spaces in the first level, 12 spaces in the second level and so on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Code blocks after lists ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want a code block immediately _after_ a list, you [need to put an HTML comment](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3327/code-block-is-not-properly-formatted-when-placed-immediately-after-a-list-item/99637#99637) between the list and the code block:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    1. This is part of a list&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    &lt;!-- an HTML comment --&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;        This is the code&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;gives&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. This is part of a list&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;!-- an HTML comment --&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    This is the code&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Code blocks in blockquotes ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A blockquote is started with &lt;code&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, and a code block with 4 spaces, so for a code block within a blockquote you need _5_ spaces after the `&gt;`. An example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &gt; This is (not) a quote from the TeXbook, and here's some code:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    &gt;     \relax&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;gives&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This is (not) a quote from the TeXbook, and here's some code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \relax&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But since we are part of the StackOverflow framework, this idea would certainly affect the whole structure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Considering [this announcement][1] about getting rid of salutations, we could come up with a similar RegEx pattern to automatically fix the image links. At least, here in TeX.SE. Not sure it can be done locally, though. The benefits i see from this approach:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - We don't need to do anything. Posts are fixed by themselves.&#xD;&#xA; - Every single image that matches the pattern will be automatically fixed, not only Gonzalo's.&#xD;&#xA; - We can prevent old, current an future image issues by simply adapting the pattern rules.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, those were my 2 cents. =)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT1:** As Jeff pointed in his answer, even if the image links are replaced by the correct form (from `i.stack.` to `i.`), the problem still remains as the images will silently and gradually disappear from `imgur`.

I guess it is pretty self-explanatory. I usually have a look at the recently migrated questions (because they often need attention), the new tags (because they are often an indication of mis-tagging) and negatively voted questions. You can click on the triangles to expand the lists (this of course also applies to the other pages).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **migrated**: A list of all migrated questions. For the current amount of migrated questions per day the list on the stats page is long enough. So this page is pretty useless most of the time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **close**: Lists recent close/open votes and recently closed/reopened questions. I usually go through this list once a day and add my vote to any questions that I think should be closed (or sometimes a comment that I disagree with the votes). This makes it more likely that a question that should be closed gets five votes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **delete**: Same as the close list, but for deleting questions (once a question has been closed for two days, you can vote to delete them). The page also lists answers deleted by mods, but does not list questions an answers deleted by their owners. I usually find this page pretty useless (though it is probably more valuable on bigger sites).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **flags**: Lists posts that have been flagged by users or by the system. You can go through the list and add your own flags. On this page (and only here) you can also flag a flag as invalid. Adding additional flags can help the moderators to prioritize they actions (though this is way more important on bigger sites than on TeX.sx). Also SPAM posts are deleted automatically when they accumulate enough flags. The page doesn't list flags by moderators and non-specific flags (the 'other' flag) and once you took some action on a flag, the system won't show you that flag anymore.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    For posts automatically flagged by the system it might be possible to improve the post or at least add a comment to inform the user of best practices on SE sites.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **links**: This once had a lot more pages linked than it has now. There is a link to a list of past suggested edits, which can be interesting if you want to look something up (e.g. if you suspect some strange edit pattern), but isn't that useful otherwise. There is also an (experimental?) page that show some stats about [feedback by anonymous users and users that aren't yet allowed to vote](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/98630/anonymous-user-feedback-now-in-testing). Doesn't seem to be particularly useful at the moment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition to the above pages, the 10k tools menu bar also links to `/review`, but I think that page is accessible to all users. 10k users also get notified on the top bar of any pending suggested edits."

Markdown / backticks&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Markdown isn't allowed in tag wiki excerpts ([mod statement][1], [more meta.so][2]/[questions on][3]/[this topic][4]).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've seen some tag wiki excerpts that still contain backticks (`) to indicate code, e.g. [tag:titles], which imho doesn't look good, in particular considering that it's pretty clear what's code and what isn't. The same applies to question titles, and I think we discourage use of backticks in question titles. Hence:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Should backticks be used in tag wiki excerpts? I say: no.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;P.S.: There's [meta-tag:markdown] and [meta-tag:markup]. What's the difference?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;2. Duplicate excerpt in &quot;big&quot; tag wiki?&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do an excerpt and the &quot;big&quot; tag wiki entry complement each other or are the independent from each other? I.e., should the &quot;big&quot; tag wiki reduplicate all the information given in the excerpt? If there's no &quot;big&quot; entry, should the excerpt just be copied there?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since the &quot;big&quot; entry never appears on its own afaik, I don't think this is necessary. It happens frequently, though, e.g. in [tag:small-caps].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;3. Taking package descriptions from ctan.org&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When I started the [tag:titling] tag wiki, I looked up http://www.ctan.org/pkg/titling and found a good and concise description of the package. Thus, I copied it and added &quot;(quoted from http://www.ctan.org/pkg/titling)&quot;. Is this ok? I just figured &quot;Why make up a new description if the package author, who probably knows the package best, has already provided such a great description?&quot;. [tag:etoolbox] used the CTAN description as well and even used blockquote markup.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/62208/markdown-seems-not-to-work-in-tag-information-excerpts/62218#62218&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/62266/tag-box-on-top-of-questions-page-doesnt-show-markdown-backticks&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/62614/tag-wiki-summary-does-not-allow-markup&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/63656/allow-back-quote-code-formatting-syntax-in-tag-wiki-excerpt" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If I'm not in the room or if I didn't deliberately trigger the startup script, the bot won't respond. I'm in charge of the bot's execution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The name&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We first thought of Jeeves, but it's taken. Then our next attempt was with Wooster, but it wasn't catchy enough. I thought of Jarvis, but it's too Stark-based. `:)` Then Andrew suggested [Psmith](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psmith), and we all approved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Available commands&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our bot recognizes the following commands:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/answer question`: an experimental command where the bot tries to actually answer your question. The database is still tiny, we are working on it.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/basketball`: fetches the last news from basketball and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/battle`: displays and compares the daily reputations of the titans, egreg and David Carlisle.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/choose opt1, opt2, ... , optn`: chooses one of the elements from the given comma-separated list.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/cricket`: fetches the last news from cricket and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/ctan`: displays the last entries available in the official CTAN announcement RSS feed.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/eightball question`: replies the question with a `yes/no` answer.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/fencing`: fetches the last news from fencing and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help`: displays the general help.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help command`: displays the help related to the specific `command` commands.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/list`: lists all the bot's commands.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/reputation userid`: displays the reputation of the user whose id is `userid`&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/song`: list the song _Psmith_'s master, [Paulo](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/3094/paulo-cereda), is currently listening to.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/texdef arguments`: runs Martin Scharrer's amazing [`texdef`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/texdef) tool on the provided parameters.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/translate from lang1 to lang2 text`: translates `text` from `lang1` to `lang2`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Potential issues&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This bot replies under my name, with the **Psmith, the TeX bot** prefix. Most of the commands are asynchronous, so the bot might take a while to answer. If too many requests are made, the bot might flood the chat and I get suspended for spam. `:)` So, take it easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why am I posting this text?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/116589/are-bots-specifically-allowed-or-prohibited-in-stack-exchange-chatrooms&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [...] Finally, a bot will be held against abuse standards just like any other user. If it &quot;behaves&quot; inappropriately, we're not going to like that. This holds both as far as the actual chatting (content/flooding) goes, as well as considering communication with the server (if you poll the server for new messages every 50ms, that's going to get you banned pretty quickly).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; That said, we're all programmers here, and this is the kind of &quot;exercise&quot; we like. So we'll probably not come after you with pitchforks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; But just to make it clear: We can, at any time and with or without any reason, say &quot;We don't want that anymore; turn it off now.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't leave the bot unsupervised, at least for long periods of time. That said, I'm in the chatroom almost 24h/day, and I monitor the bot's activities and replies. I can shutdown the little rascal if needed, at any time and moment. Every command is triggered at my side of the connection, in my machine, including `texdef` running on my TeX distro. In other words, the JS script adds hooks to the messages, intercepts certain patterns and then forwards requests to my local machine for processing. Then, the reply happens as if I were typing that message.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As [balpha](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/115866) said in his reply, it's a good exercise. `:)` Let's see how it goes. If the SO team thinks this is a terrible idea or if it opens a dangerous precedent, by all means, let me know. I can easily shutdown everything, by simply closing my browser. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By the way, thanks to [Aarthi](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/165582) for being so kind in helping me with the procedures to announce the bot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks a lot. `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Following *this* route doesn't guarantee migration here. If some (other/the majority of) users designate the post as off-topic without specifying an appropriate migration path, then the post might end up as &quot;Off topic&quot; *without* being migrated, even though you voted/requested it. Why would this happen? This may be due to a number of things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Vote-to-close voters are not familiar with TeX.SE and therefore do not know that it will most likely be on-topic here;&#xD;&#xA;2. There's a lot of noise on [StackOverflow](http://www.stackoverflow.com) due to its broad scope, and being the catch-all Stack Exchange site. So, things that are considered *somewhat* off-topic, probably reaches that point without much discussion;&#xD;&#xA;3. The harsh(er) nature of SO where it could be assumed that if you don't know about TeX.SE and post stuff on SO, you're SOL.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've questioned why my migration path suggestions through flagging were not honoured in [Migration to TeX.SE](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/147980/168244). The procedure is explained well over there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why is your comment(s) removed during the migration? This is the default setup (I've learned): Any comments with TeX.SE-related links will be removed when migrating to TeX.SE. I think the most likely reason for this is because of the common &quot;This is better-suited on [TeX.SE](http://tex.stackexchange.com)&quot; comment, which becomes obsolete at the time of migration. So, a blanket rule in this regard was probably the easiest option.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Knowing the above, I usually follow these guidelines:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Flag as &quot;Other&quot; with the comment &quot;Migrate over to TeX.SE&quot;. This ensures that a moderator will look at the flag (I'm assuming), which could speed up and hopefully ensure migration.&#xD;&#xA;2. Don't leave a comment stating that it belongs somewhere else (TeX.SE), since many users would then repost here, causing cross-network duplicates. This doesn't really matter, but just the way I've resorted to doing things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A recent feature request regarding migrations lead to [Disable migration for questions older than 60 days](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/151890/168244) (realized on [October 18th, 2012](http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/117903/168244)).

Here's a quick take on reputation associated with Suggested Edits (from the above post):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ###Can I earn reputation?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - When a suggested edit is approved, the user who suggested it gets +2 reputation. The regular daily reputation cap applies, and the total cap is 1,000. Like any other reputation, the +2 is deleted if the edited post is ever deleted.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - When a suggested edit is rejected, no penalty is given.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A quick aggregation of [your reputation](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/13907/papiro?tab=reputation) lists at least 484 edits still &quot;visible&quot; from non-deleted posts (out of around 579 post-related reputation earnings). While 484 visible, approved Suggested Edits drops you back to earning *only* 968 reputation, you may have reached the 1,000 rep-cap over all time (512 approved + 484 visible - 500 maximum ~ 500 posts = 1,000 reputation). Once you've reached this, there's no more bonuses from Suggested Edits.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is just my guess... `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;While this may seem anti-climatic, continue to help improve the site!&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/sub&gt;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

That's because it was _meant_ to really apply to very localized issues, but is used by many sites to mean 'other things'. So it's _possible_ we may want to have some 'off-topic' reasons that would have previously been 'too localized'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We don't have to have pre-defined reasons, and I understand that you will be able to leave a free-form comment when voting to close as off-topic. However, we _may_ want some boilerplate text for common cases. We also don't have to decide on everything now: reasons can be added/deleted/edited as we go along.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Answers ideally should contain one piece of text plus an explanation of why it's useful.

I've already [asked about the generic text](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3632/text-for-off-topic-closure) and for some [predefined off-topic close reasons](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3608/new-close-reasons-selecting-predefined-off-topic-options). However, I think I at least didn't quite see _how_ this was going to work. So I'd like to ask about this again, but with a better understanding of how things are 'supposed' to work and with more background.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Background&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The idea of the new 'off-topic' approach is that the person who asked the question gets 'concrete' feedback on why their particular question was closed. This is made clear in a [meta post giving moderators advice](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/184637/what-do-site-moderators-need-to-do-to-support-the-new-custom-question-close-reas/185097), which says (amongst many things)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;At a bare minimum, **off-topic reasons should identify a _specific_ topic considered inappropriate**. If you're struggling to be specific, find an example of a question that is off-topic and discuss the factors that make it inappropriate for the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see, the 'Powers' are after specifics rather than a more general 'this is one of the things we don't do' answer. (In the mod chat room, it was also suggested that a list of 'please do not ask about ...' in the help would be useful.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Mechanism&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The mechanism which has been set up gives us broadly three possibilities within the 'off-topic' closure reason:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Vote to close for a _specific_ predefined reason&#xD;&#xA; 2. Vote to migrate to another site&#xD;&#xA; 3. Vote to close and give a free-text reason for the vote&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If someone has already used option (3), later voters will see this reason as an option, too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The concept is then that as long as at least two people vote in the same way, a specific reason is given for closure. If all of the votes are different, then the question gets the default text, currently&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This question does not appear to be about TeX, LaTeX or related typesetting systems, within the scope defined in the [help center](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So changing that is actually not so useful: it's only really meant to pop up in a small number of cases where there's no agreement on why something is off-topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##What we need to do&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two things we need to do if this is going to work. Here, I want to focus on one of them: deciding on up to three pre-defined 'off-topic' reasons. We also need to 'fix' migration paths (they've all vanished), but I will address that separately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see in the [guidance for moderators](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/184637/what-do-site-moderators-need-to-do-to-support-the-new-custom-question-close-reas/185097), the suggestion is to come up with a list of common reasons for closure, and create texts for these which include guidance for the questioner. I guess one reason per answer would be best as we can then vote on them. Following the model suggested by the 'Powers', I think some form of link to a meta question or similar, which 'expands' on why a question is off-topic, might be useful within each text.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Notes&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The way the 'Powers' see off-topic, reasons here might cover things we've previously closed in other ways.  At the same time, it may also be the case that there are alternative approaches to different cases. Some examples:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - A [question on meta.SO](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/186366) asked about questions which turn out to be typos in the input. The suggestion there is that such questions should be flagged for deletion, as they are not really useful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Questions which turn out to require a package update could reasonably be answered rather than being closed at all. It's arguable that these may actually be pretty general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Out-and-out bug reports could be added to the help as a 'do not ask about' point, as well as potentially having a custom close reason.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Over time, we can of course alter what reasons we feel are 'most common'. So the list will not be set in stone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The 'custom text' closure reason&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's worth noting that the 'Other (add a comment explaining what is wrong)' sub-choice for off-topic is meant to enable us to give a _specific_ reason for closing a question. For example, rather than just&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &gt; your question is off topic&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;you can imagine saying (for a hypothetical example)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &gt; While _using_ or _understanding_ the Knuth-Plass algorithm in TeX is on-topic, implementing the algorithm in Python (or any other programming language) is not, as it requires general programming expertise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other people can then vote for this specific and (hopefully) useful text."

The logic is something like this: TL was far from the most common close reason, and was used for issues well beyond what it was originally intended for, which was really _localized_ issues that _no-one else would ever see_. It's that last bit that's important: for example, we (usually) haven't answered questions that come down to 'my installation is messed up', but that applies to more than one person. Thus the message from above is that these things are off-topic, in the sense that if a site doesn't answer questions on X then they are closed for scope reasons even if X seems to be a _prima facia_ fit for the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that questions closed with a no answer and a low number of votes and views are likely to be removed by the 'garbage collector' system.

Immediately. However, there is a bounty of knowledge already present on this site. Search for it using the best [ninja skills](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching) you have possible. Only then post a question.  For [not-so-new users](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/chat), the [chat room](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41/tex-latex-and-friends) is also a good place to hash out ideas about questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Duplication is fine if it turns out that the problem can be approached from different angles. Your question (even though it is a duplicate) may be the landing place for others searching for similar solutions. Questions marked as a duplicate will have their duplicate targets clearly listed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Include a [minimal working example (MWE)](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764) so that the actual problem can be replicated by the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Since we're not sitting next to you and a post is the only way you can communicate the problem, a MWE is like a picture... and worth a thousand words. Remember to keep it *minimal*. How do you know when something is minimal or not? Remove stuff until the problem is not reproducible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Write a descriptive (yet short) title&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; A title saying &quot;How do I fix this error&quot; doesn't help any future visitors who search this site. Like any search engine, question titles are included in the search results, together with snippets of text/code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; So, while &quot;How do I fix this error&quot; may mean something to *you* at the time of posting the question, you should...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ...have the bigger picture in mind - the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; The community is here to help you, so try to put yourself in their shoes when you post. Can they readily reproduce my problem? Have I given clear instruction as to what I'm after? Do I have an [XY problem](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2449/5764)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Include references and pictures&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; A reference to a different question will show that you've done some research or tried other avenues (perhaps you'd like to ask a [follow-up question](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2117/5764)). Pictures of the output (expected or actual) give most members an immediate take on what's going on. Again, a picture is worth more than a bunch of sentences. We have guidelines on [how to include images in posts](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2136/5764) - new users should follow the same procedure but remove the preceding `!` (markdown inserted to denote a picture). [*Janitors*](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/edit) will be able to rectify this and fully embed the image.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Mark your code properly&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; There's an [FAQ on how to mark your code](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/863/5764) using markdown. It improves readability.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Tag like a boss&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; We have many house-keepers in this community, all of whom try to keep up with ordering things on this site. Tags are important for that. And, as [you may have noticed](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching), searching based on tags (using `[&lt;tag&gt;]`) can help narrow your searching to find what you're looking for.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Be specific&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Think of the answer you require when formatting the question. As a reference, see http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/3446/5764.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Other/related references:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [How to ask a smart question](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/18584/168244)&#xD;&#xA;- http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1852/5764&#xD;&#xA;- http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2766/5764&#xD;&#xA;- [Stack Overflow question checklist](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/156810/168244)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Answers:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Search first&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Yes, some questions are duplicates. If they're found, flag a question or directly [close it as a duplicate](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/view-close-votes).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Don't post link-only answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; These are better-suited as a comment, since it defers reputation to the intended posts (not yourself). Sure, link to other posts that support or confirm some of your suggestions/usages, but keep in mind that your answer should *add value* to the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Code-only answers are not *that* awesome.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; New users sometimes have a lacking ability to interpret code-only answers. It helps if there are explanatory discussions around why certain things were done.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Other/related references:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [How do I write a good answer to a question?](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/7656/168244)&#xD;&#xA;- http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2695/5764&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xqk4x.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/AVCVk.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The logic to the cross-network posting rule is that each site has a scope and that a 'good' question should be clearly on-topic for one of the sites and thus most likely to get answered in one place. Posting in multiple places is then viewed as likely to simply cause duplication of effort and to potentially fragment useful information. &#xD;&#xA;The StackExchange network policy in part reflects the 'outlook' of the senior staff/owners, who have a particular vision for how it can contribute to knowledge on the internet. The question is whether their logic (and thus guideline) applies to cross-posting in 'other places', for example Usenet, forums, mailing lists, _etc._, and if so what is the correct response.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Usually, questions are cross-posted because the asker wants to maximise the likelihood of obtaining a (useful) reply. Many 'regulars' here also read/post to 'other places', and so know that cross-posting is not necessarily likely to reach a significantly-larger audience of 'experts' than a single post is. On the other hand, I think many less experienced TeX users do not know that. Thus cross-posting is not a deliberately obstructive action: it reflects the needs/desires of the askers. Thus I think a response here should reflect that: be helpful to the questioner while recognising that duplicated effort does no-one any favours.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd therefore suggest that the approach already adopted on [The LaTeX Community](http://latex-community.org/) is not a bad one: politely ask that cross-posts are noted, say as a comment on a question. That makes it more likely that the question will eventually be answered at both ends: someone answering in one place can also answer in the other. Worth noting is that the network approach is that answers here should be 'self-contained', and thus an answer simply pointing out that a cross-post is answered will need to be expanded.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Not just your posts—*anyone's posts!*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you are a user with &lt; 2,000 reputation, then any edit you make will be sent to the review queue, where it has to be approved by two reviewers before it takes effect:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; These edits remain in a pending state until they get enough votes to either approve them and make the edits take effect or reject them and discard the edit. Two votes in either direction will finalize the action&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, to answer your question, you yourself do not actually have to do anything to accept an edit to your question or answer.&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; If it was edited by someone with &amp;#8805; 2,000 reputation, the edit will take effect immediately.

The exception, of course, is if you're a user with &amp;#8805; 2,000 reputation and a user with &lt; 2,000 reputation edits your post.

It has grammar/syntax rules.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And as such, a small complete document starts with a&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;uses some packages (most probably), say &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{amsmath}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{hyperref}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;and eventually some other *preamble* commands (omitted here).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally the true document code, beginning (sic!) and ending with&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;      % Some content in between.&#xD;&#xA;    \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This `*.tex` file should reproduce the **error** or the **efforts** what has done so far, not more and not less. This means, that all unnecessary code has to be omitted (preferably) or at least commented out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, if your problem has nothing do with &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - mathematical markup --&gt; drop all packages concerning math (`amsmath` etc.)&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; - font issues --&gt; drop all packages using fonts&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - hyperlinks  --&gt; omit `hyperref`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Only the really experienced `TeX` users know or can guess which class/packages should be loaded and sometimes this is even ambiguous since there are varities of possible solutions to a *problem*. A fragment of a code is a starting point, but most time a very crude one.   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, this a skeleton of a complete small document:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    %%% \usepackage statements here&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    %%% Other necessary statements here&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    %%% Code for **your** document &#xD;&#xA;    \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Change the documentclass `article` to one you really use. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If it hasn't, feel free to report it or [join the project](https://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/people/list) and submit a fix yourself. If you want to ensure that an issue you raised is fixed quickly, it's best to include the fix in the report. If the fix has already been implemented by Prettify but is still not working here, please raise a feature request on Meta to request that a new version of Prettify be deployed."

These are the steps that I'm currently using:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  1. I try the code using [LaTeX previewer](http://www.tlhiv.org/ltxpreview/) which is also very iPad friendly, to my delight.&#xD;&#xA;  2. If the code works, and I want to paste the resulting output, I select the image and save it in the iPad Photo Album.&#xD;&#xA;  3. Using Dropbox for iPad, I upload the photo from the iPad to some Dropbox folder.&#xD;&#xA;  4. Using Dropbox again, I get an url for the uploaded image (which is a shortened url).&#xD;&#xA;  5. Since stackexchange image upload service does not work with shortened urls, I use Safari to connect to that shortened url, download the image, and get the expanded url which points to the real `png`&#xD;&#xA;  6. I use stackexchange's image uploader to give the url of that image and finally get the result in the post.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is how I answered [Drawing node in tikz with both background fill and grid pattern?](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/64291/12571), for example.&#xD;&#xA;I wonder if there is a shorter method, or if I am the only one trying to do such a thing from the iPad.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason for such a convoluted process is that in iOS (iPad, iPhone and iPod operating system) the filesystem is *sandboxed* for each application. In other words, an application has not access to the files created in a different application. The user has no control about where the files are stored. When you &quot;download&quot; an image with Safari, it &quot;sends&quot; that image to Photo Album app, which stores it in its private filesystem. But then, when some web page offers you to &quot;upload&quot; a file, Safari dismisses that option, because the only part of the filesystem that Safari can read is its own private space, and this is use for caching only. This is why I have to use Dropbox as an intermediate store.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However perhaps an iPad user more skilled than me knows about some workaround. It is a pain to be unable to upload files from the browser." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

MWEB stands for &quot;Minimal Working Example with Bibliography&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The bibliography file contains your bibliographical references. If your question is about Bibtex/Biber/Natbib/Biblatex/..., this file may contain valuable informations useful to answer it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You should use [filecontents](http://ctan.org/pkg/filecontents) environment in order to produce only one file which contains both your latex document and your bibliography file. This file should be copy and paste inside a [code block](http://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help#code). Having only one file allows us to copy and paste the example to test it in a single action.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Example of MWEB (for BibLaTeX):&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[style=authoryear-comp]{biblatex}&#xD;&#xA;    \bibliography{\jobname} % or \addbibressource{/jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;    @book{key,&#xD;&#xA;      author = {Author, A.},&#xD;&#xA;      year = {2001},&#xD;&#xA;      title = {Title},&#xD;&#xA;      publisher = {Publisher},&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \cite{key}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two important points:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. You should use `\jobname` instead a specific .bib file name. In this way, the `filecontents` environment will take the name of the .tex file in order to generate the .bib file. This practice avoids to accidentally overwrite a .bib file (it is often the case because people use to call their bibliographies &quot;bibliography&quot;...).&#xD;&#xA; 2. This example of MWEB is for BibLaTeX. Adapt it for Natbib/Bibtex/...&#xD;&#xA; 3. Unlike a common thought, the `filecontents` environment must not be used&#xD;&#xA;before the `\documentclass` declaration. This environnement is allowed anywhere in the document’s preamble. The documentation of the first filecontents implementation (in LaTeX2) mentions this limitation; however, it happens to be not true and, anyway, you should use the new implementation (by the call of `filecontents` package) which explicitly removes this limitation.&#xD;&#xA; 4. Unlike a other common thought, you shouldn't use `filecontents*` (note the star) environment. `filecontents*` does not aim to overwrite the file but is designed to remove the mention &quot;[...]generated by the ‘filecontents’ environment[...]&quot; at the top of the file.

In most cases, the content of this bibliography file is pasted inside a separated code block (when the .bib is not forgotten...). This (bad) practice creates a loss of time. Indeed, the reader have to copy and create two different files to test the code. The [filecontents](filecontents) package fixes this issue. Therefore, in my opinion, the use of filecontents should be generalized to all MWE calling a bibtex file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; I created this question to be able to refer to it when someone forget to add the .bib file to his example or when the question is about bib* and there is no MWE at all. Of course, this question aims to be community wiki. Please improve by all means the answer I will post below.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This holds for virtually everything. In this case, I would agree that [closing the question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/view-close-votes) is completely fine, specifying a condition that an updated distribution fixed the problem. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For most things on this site, including performing actions on posts that you don't yet have the [privilege](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges) of doing, you can always [flag a post for moderator attention](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/flagging) and explain your situation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From the [Site Moderators Help Centre](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/site-moderators):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The most common moderator task is to follow up on flagged posts. Every post contains a small flag link, which anyone with 15 reputation can use. Posts can be flagged as spam, offensive, or just general “needs moderator attention” with an explanatory comment or link. Once flagged, a post increments a flag count that shows up in the topbar for every moderator.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you see anything in the system that is evil, weird, or in any way exceptional and deserving of moderator attention for any reason...[flag it](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/flagging)! That’s the primary job of a moderator: to look at every flagged post, and take action if necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Moderators also have some special abilities necessary to handle those rare exceptional conditions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderator votes are binding. Any place we have voting — close, open, delete, undelete, offensive, migration, etc — that vote will reach the threshold and take effect immediately if a single moderator casts a vote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can lock posts. Locked posts cannot be voted on or changed in any way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can [protect questions](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/06/new-protected-question-status/). Protected questions only allow answers by users with more than 10 reputation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can see more data in the system, including vote statistics (but not ‘who voted for this post’) and user profile information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can place users in [timed suspension](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/04/a-day-in-the-penalty-box/), and delete users if necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can perform large-scale maintenance actions such as merging questions and tags, tag synonym approvals, and so forth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; A lot of the moderation work is mundane: deleting obvious spam, closing blatantly off-topic questions, and culling some of the worst-rated posts on the site. The ideal moderator does as little as possible, but those little actions may be powerful, visible, and highly concentrated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you have questions about the reasoning behind a moderator's actions, bring them up for discussion on [meta](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/). Remember to be **constructive and polite**; moderators have the best interest of the site in mind, but they may occasionally make mistakes or have to deal with controversial issues on which not everyone agrees."

With this in mind, assuming the answers provided do indeed answer the question, how you used them to solve your specific problem is usually not so relevant.

It's true that you need to know what to search for in order to find an answer, yet you don't know the answer to your question to begin with. So, it's definitely difficult to never ask a question that hasn't already been asked.

And, since each duplicate question is linked to the source duplicate, the connection to the ultimate solution is always available. Consider a question marked as a duplicate to [act like a signpost for future visitors](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/230/168244). So, both versions will be kept under certain conditions."

The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`.

As such, 'good' questions should be focussed on the matter in hand, ideally without many things that might make good forum posts. That's one reason that 'thanks' is discouraged and why community edits are allowed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the same time, each question does have an original poster (OP) who has some element of 'ownership' (their name is on the question, after all). The usual guideline is that edits shouldn't fundamentally alter what the OP said. Some people are particularly keen on a very specific form of words, style, or similar, and thus may feel that edits to 'standardise' their text are not what they want.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What we have to do is balance these two situations. My take is that editing to remove 'thanks' is reasonable (it's in both the site and cross-network 'spirit'), but that having an editing war to do that is not. So if the OP decides that they really do want the 'thanks' in, it's not a big issue to accept this and move on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that the moderators do have tools that can be used for 'edit wars' and which can prevent any edits at all. In general, we will not use these unless really needed, and I think it's fair to say a case about editing 'thanks' isn't one I'd like to see them used for!" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="I often saw that MWEs which include images can be a little bit of a problem. There are no common images in the TEXMF tree which could be used. Even the famous PS tiger is not directly accessible. Often people add the `demo` option to `graphicx` to avoid the need of real images. Other times a `\rule{&lt;width&gt;}{&lt;height&gt;}` is added as a substitution. The problem with both is that you have to always tell users that the have to remove the option or replace the substituted code.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Therefore I now created a special CTAN package [`mwe`](http://ctan.org/pkg/mwe) which comes with a variety if dummy images which can be used for MWEs. They are installed in the CTAN package directly and therefore direct accessible through the TEXMF tree. In other words, if all people have installed this package they can share code like `\includegraphics{example-image}` and get an example image in their MWE with no extra effort. Even if users do not have the package installed the name makes it clear enough that they simply have to add a real image name.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is also a `mwe` LaTeX package provided which load `graphicx` and both `lipsum` and `blindtext`. It may grow in the future but I like to keep it small in order to keep the used code in MWEs really minimal. The package is not required to be loaded in order to use the images. I see it only as a small bonus.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are multiple images (all in the form `example-image*` in PDF, JPG, PNG and EPS format as well as TeX file holding its TikZ code). Originally they were all `standalone` files, but to keep things simple I stripped the preamble and `document` environment in my release script. These formats allow for specific MWEs were the file type is used or even matters. Also the different files allow to differ between multiple images in a figure with sub-figures etc. There are also PDF files for A4, letter, etc. for MWEs related to `pdfpages` and similar things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, there are basically two types of MWEs: question MWEs and answer MWEs. The first one should show the issue / the code used, while the second form is mostly an example how to apply certain techniques. In both cases the images are useful. The package might not be wanted for the first kind and only for the second for certain example usages. Of course if there is a MWEs provided with a question, then it should be used as base of the answer code.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;Here a small MWE to see how the whole thing works:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    % Example MWE&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{mwe}&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \blindtext&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \noindent&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics[width=.4\textwidth]{example-image-a}\hfill&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics[width=.4\textwidth]{example-image-b}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \blindtext&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Result][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The images come from the TEXMF tree:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;example-image-a.png, id=1, 401.5pt x 301.125pt&gt; &lt;use example-image-a.png&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;example-image-b.png, id=2, 401.5pt x 301.125pt&gt; &lt;use example-image-b.png&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    [1{/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map} &lt;/usr/&#xD;&#xA;    local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/mwe/example-image-a.png&gt; &lt;/usr/local/te&#xD;&#xA;    xlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/mwe/example-image-b.png&gt;]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/RZx8z.png&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you have added anything to Document --&gt; Settings --&gt; LaTeX preamble that doesn't influence tables in any way, you can remove that as well. The LyX Wiki has a page about this as well: http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A key point is to make sure that your MWE is *able to reproduce the problem*. If it is an error you're wondering about, then trying to create a PDF from the MWE should generate that error. So test your MWE before adding it to a post.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Adding the MWE to a post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two options, you can either add the `.lyx` file itself, or the exported LaTeX source. If this is some LyX specific issue, then the former is better I suppose. The benefit of the latter is that more people will be able to answer, the disadvantage is that you may need to 'translate' the answer to LyX. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. **Adding the `.lyx` file.** You cannot upload files to posts on StackExchange, but as a `.lyx` file is actually just a plain text file, you can open it in a text editor, and copy-paste the lot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Exactly how you do this depends on operating system, but typically you right click on the file, choose *Open with* and then a text editor, such as Gedit, Kate or Notepad. (Or you open the `.lyx` file from the editor.) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. **Adding exported LaTeX source.** In LyX, do File --&gt; Export --&gt; LaTeX (pdfLaTeX). This will generate a `.tex` file in the same folder as the `.lyx` file. Open it, and copy-paste the contents into your post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(In both cases, add syntax highlighting by selecting the entire code block and clicking the `{}` button above the text field, or hitting &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;.)&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So there is no way that they can know about stuff before they actually do annoying things (in your point of view :P) Had we had that kind of thing then it would be meaningful to blame them for not paying attention to site rules etc. Not only we don't have such things like those annoying forums that lead us here in the first place, but also a community driven site cannot be imposed. We all love and appreciate this place but we sometimes forget that those new users are the reason why all this exists. So as I tried to emphasize a few times, **new user** has the danger of implying that there are owners or residents of the site who are not **new** and kind of have more rights. That's completely untrue, no matter how much we contribute we don't own any of it (sometimes we get defensive and try a little too hard to tell everyone *this* or *that* how we roll here but in general if the user insists we just leave it alone and go ask/answer other stuff). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; So feeling that we have a saying over how new people should behave is one stop short of dictating who can or can't be a resident (and that's what is happening with most of the other sites as far as I can see, power corrupts :P). Most of the users, including yours truly, did a lot of stupid stuff before they got used to the general etiquette. I would take the risk of overemphasizing this fact that we meet up here. Some of us like and enjoy others' company, some of us are here for a quick tip. Some of us have the habits of the new era such as **demanding is my right, you get points only if you serve well** type of bullshit, but some of us are extremely open for others' opinion and they respectfully take criticism to make something good out of it. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Second, think of yourself as a person in need of information and don't like to hang out here let alone learning bunch of nonsense about duplicates badges, priviledges etc. You just need your header to be shifted 5mm down. All that stuff we have is simply ridiculous and only makes sense to the residents. So ridiculous that a new user might argue that we are simply satisfying our OCD. To be honest, I see no other option than agreeing with this argument. So we should be careful about housekeeping/keeping it real tradeoff. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; If a user can't explain themself(see the gender neutral thing there? So politically correct here) so be it. It's their problem. They have to ask or read archaic stuff that google would provide. In the end, they'll eventually make a better question. But, we are in no position to judge the quality of question. The simplest reason is that some people don't know English well enough :) It's simple as that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In summary, live and let live." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you ask at least one well-received question in a [UTC day](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/62853/168244) and none of your questions that day are deleted, downvoted, or closed, you get one more day of credit toward the badge. Whenever the badge criteria is checked, previous asking days are re-evaluated so that there's an incentive to fix downvoted and/or closed questions. The no-deleted-questions criteria is to prevent people from asking several questions at once and deleting any that aren't upvoted or answered to ask another day. (Though this is a losing strategy in the long run.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- What constitutes a &quot;positive question record&quot;?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt;     (total questions - negative questions - closed - deleted) / total questions &gt;= 0.5&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; It *triple counts* a question that is downvoted, closed, and deleted. If you ask one that hits that trifecta, you'll need to ask three better questions to dig yourself out. For example, if 12 questions of a user were closed and 12 deleted out of a total of 44 questions, their score would not meet the criteria:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt;     (44 - 0 - 12 - 12) / 44 = 0.4545...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; The takeaway is that people can't sweep past indiscretions under the rug by deleting them.

Your duty to the community and future readers is greater than to Barbara.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;after which I received the follow up comment&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; @DavidMulder We don't follow such things here for the sake of SE network. More in this post, since this pops up every now and then meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3802/… Also there is no duty involved on TeX-SX, it is all community driven voluntary work. –  percusse 1 hour ago&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, the problem is two fold:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. SE policies and even internal consensuses seem to not be clearly communicated to users here on TeX.SE (two technically incorrect comments both received upvotes) (This btw is a larger problem with a couple of other communities as well, however this is one of the oddest cases I have found)&#xD;&#xA; 2. The fact that moderators haven't intercepted here to enforce the consensus on this and other answers by Barbara despite this seeming to happen on other answers written by her as well (invalid roll backs linking to the consensus, but looking at the accepted answer rather than the highest voted answer). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And just for the record, I am perfectly fine if you guys want to change StackExchange policy. Like seriously, if you feel like it, go for it. However for that the majority of the users have to be on board, which does not seem to be the case here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;PS.

The above order does not say anything about priority.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do you think such a recommendation is necessary too? I know, answers to this might be opinion-based.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also know that this recommendations should be made known to (new) users. Content hidden somewhere in webspace is rather useless. ;-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Note** In an earlier version I wrote of **etiquette**, but I came to the conclusion, that **recommendation** is a better term in my point of view.&#xD;&#xA; " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

That clearly applies in the case of the meta site here which has far lower participation than the main site. So a simple appeal to the current voting figures on a question doesn't really have much effect: common practice, and common sense, need to be used to moderate the established norms, not just transient numerical supremacy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However it is not really controversial that questions may be edited to fix grammar and other problems, but that does not mean that all edits are good.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A newcomer to this site might for example be surprised at the strange capitalisation of TeX and &quot;fix&quot; it. Any such edit is likely to be rolled back. The strange capitalisation of Barbara's posts is a convention as old as TeX and explicitly documented in her profile on the site. As a newcomer you may not be aware of it, but on having it pointed out and having the edit rolled back your response should have been to say &quot;oh sorry&quot; and move on, not to post calling in to question the behaviour of the members of this site and the competence of its moderators.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

(Rules are clearly appropriate for legal matters, for example.) Each StackExchange network site has its own conventions, and those are to some extent 'organic'. They also need to work with the fact that each question and answer involves a 'real' person: people are funny things, and rules don't always work so well with them! So there's got to be some flexibility. (I'll come back to that below.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As noted in comments, voting on the meta site involves a subset of people 'routinely active' on the site, and that in itself is a subset of people who visit the site. As such, the best one can say about votes on meta is that they give some indication of the feeling of some of the site users. At the same time, there's no way of seeing what the history of voting is. Asking a 'how do we deal with ...' question requires that at some stage there is a decision: presumably there is some form of implementation to be done. However, votes can continue after this, so what gets implemented might end up not being what has the most votes. One way of indicating which answer seems to have 'won' at some arbitrary point is to accept it, but as we can't see the history we can't actually tell if that was the case here (at least, I can't be certain).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While the network emphasis the wiki/collaborative element to questions and answers, each one has someone's name on it. That's something we should, I think, be mindful about. So it's one thing to have a convention to 'fix' things, but another to ignore the OP when the roll such edits back. For example, there is a weak convention on the site to remove 'thanks' from questions, but if the OP rolls back such an edit then I'd usually anticipate that it would be 'left alone'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the end, my feeling is that we do better having a wider range of contributors, even with the odd eccentricity, than rigidly enforcing a set of 'rules'. To date, we've not had any serious confusion from people looking for help, at least that I know of." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I've demarcated these three points with section headings.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A positive argument based on copyright and attribution&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, I think Paulo Cereda has already made a great case for respecting a poster's style in [his answer][1] to http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2599/why-were-my-edits-rejected given reasons of copyright and attribution:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I see the SE network as an awesome Q&amp;A knowledge base, a new tendency. But I fear that people misunderstand the real concept and see threads as collaborative wiki. If it's a wiki, everything is fine, because you are collaboratively editing stuff. The Q&amp;A model is based on people asking and answering questions. The site footer gives us a hint:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &gt; user contributions licensed under cc-wiki with attribution required&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If we take a closer look on these links, we find the following statement:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &gt;Attribution - You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; When we edit things from other users, we are signing a risky contract: we are somehow influencing the author's contribution - for better or for worse. But note that it's up to the author to decide if the modifications to his/her answer should really take place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A negative argument based on readability and comprehension&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, Paulo does go on to mention that we should nonetheless keep in mind that edits *improving* spelling and grammar are probably Good Things™.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So we can ask whether editing barbara's answers to fix capitalization would fall into the category of *improving* spelling and grammar. The answer is **no**, at least not if we take *improve* to mean something like 'make more readable, make more comprehensible, etc.'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fact that writing systems are *technological inventions* is an underappreciated fact. They postdate human use of language, and they are, ultimately, nothing more than technological inventions that encode a set of conventions that we use to represent the *language* in our heads.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, certain conventions, such as consistent spelling, are arguably useful. Conventions that demarcate sentence boundaries are also arguably useful. In fact, they reflect prosodic cues that one gets in spoken language.&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The conventions that are used by this particular technological invention for encoding English happen to employ two methods of demarcating sentence boundaries: capitalization and punctuation. So, in a sense, we have some redundancy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are only a few edge cases where the use of two methods is not redundant. Specifically, in cases where the conventions used for transcribing English employ a period to mark an abbreviation, such as in &quot;et al.&quot; or &quot;etc.&quot; we might see non-redundancy. An example of this might be:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in this case, you don't want to use the commands like `\bf`, `\it`, etc. you should use `\textbf` instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here, it's not immediately clear whether the second sentence is a separate sentence or not, just from inspecting capitalization and punctuation. Nonetheless, we **can still figure out what was said**, and it's pretty easy to determine, based on context, what the sentence boundaries are. One user has [claimed that][2]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Barbara's posts as they currently stand are well-nigh unreadable gibberish.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is **patently false**. Any user that can read and comprehend English can read and comprehend barbara's answers. Though I tried searching the internet for studies on whether there is any **empirical** evidence documenting a decrease in comprehension/readability based on lack of sentence-initial capitalization, I could not find anything.&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; Nonetheless, I have an intuition&amp;#8212;an intuition that I suspect others share, if they are honest with themselves&amp;#8212;that there would be no significant difference in comprehension, should someone actually bother to conduct an empirical study.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, [tohecz worries][3] that this will lead to peOPlE adOPTing TeEN caSINg. First point to note: it is now 2014 (no longer 2011), and, as far as I am aware, there has been no instance of this. Second point to note: there is actually an **argument** to be made that fixing someone's post that uses &quot;teen casing&quot; improves readability/comprehension. Again, I haven't found any empirical studies, but I have an intuition&amp;#8212;as well as the phenomenological experience&amp;#8212;that reading &quot;teen casing&quot; is harder and takes longer than normal casing. I suspect this would be confirmed with an empirical study, should someone really want to waste their time carrying out such a study.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, this warrants editing the ridiculous behavior of the user who asked http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/consensus-vs-accepted-answers-on-meta because they eventually edited the question to include this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Specifically, editing such a post would **improve the comprehension and readability** of the post for at least two reasons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. the user does not conform to conventional English spelling (which makes it particularly hard for non-native speakers of English to understand); and&#xD;&#xA;2. the use of code/keyboard markup might mislead one into thinking that `STYLEZ`, for example, is a tag or a LaTeX package or something, something which is probably easily dismissible, but might nonetheless confuse new users on the site&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, the &quot;consensus&quot;&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; on TeX.SX at the time of writing seems to be to respect **barbara**'s style&amp;#8212;*which is readable and comprehensible*&amp;#8212;not *any* style. That is to say, there is not a rational argument against *not* respecting *her particular style*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A positive argument from changing the meaning of an answer&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Nonetheless, if one is able to delude oneself into thinking that lack of sentence-initial capitalization somehow really turns some writing into &quot;well-nigh unreadable gibberish&quot;,&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; there is a further positive argument for respecting barbara's style, in addition to the one already sketched by Paulo. This one comes from David Carlisle in [a comment][6]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; @DavidMulder You are ignoring the fact that your edit was simply a bad edit, irrespective of any general conventions about fixing grammar. It changes the meaning of the answer (given the statement on the user profile). Perhaps you think that's a bad convention for a user to have but making all following readers believe that a statement is an official policy statement of the American Mathematical Society when it was explicitly marked as not being so in its original form is a bad edit and should be reverted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The moral of the story&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, even if you don't buy the negative argument I've sketched (for whatever reason), we still have at least two positive reasons for why we ought to respect barbara's style, which is not to say that we ought to respect *any* style, *if that style really makes a post harder to comprehend or read (especially for non-native speakers of English)*. In such cases as those, editing is then probably the Right Way™ and a Good Thing™.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Indeed, [percusse counts seven such users][7].&#xD;&#xA;2. Prosody is just a fancy way of saying &quot;intonation&quot;. Intonation is often used to demarcate sentence boundaries, among other things, in spoken language.

I've demarcated these three points with section headings.&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A positive argument based on copyright and attribution&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, I think Paulo Cereda has already made a great case for respecting a poster's style in [his answer][1] to http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2599/why-were-my-edits-rejected given reasons of copyright and attribution:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I see the SE network as an awesome Q&amp;A knowledge base, a new tendency. But I fear that people misunderstand the real concept and see threads as collaborative wiki. If it's a wiki, everything is fine, because you are collaboratively editing stuff. The Q&amp;A model is based on people asking and answering questions. The site footer gives us a hint:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &gt; user contributions licensed under cc-wiki with attribution required&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If we take a closer look on these links, we find the following statement:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &gt;Attribution - You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; When we edit things from other users, we are signing a risky contract: we are somehow influencing the author's contribution - for better or for worse. But note that it's up to the author to decide if the modifications to his/her answer should really take place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A negative argument based on readability and comprehension&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, Paulo does go on to mention that we should nonetheless keep in mind that edits *improving* spelling and grammar are probably Good Things™.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So we can ask whether editing barbara's answers to fix capitalization would fall into the category of *improving* spelling and grammar. The answer is **no**, at least not if we take *improve* to mean something like 'make more readable, make more comprehensible, etc.'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fact that writing systems are *technological inventions* is an underappreciated fact. They postdate human use of language, and they are, ultimately, nothing more than technological inventions that encode a set of conventions that we use to represent the *language* in our heads.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, certain conventions, such as consistent spelling, are arguably useful. Conventions that demarcate sentence boundaries are also arguably useful. In fact, they reflect prosodic cues that one gets in spoken language.&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The conventions that are used by this particular technological invention for encoding English happen to employ two methods of demarcating sentence boundaries: capitalization and punctuation. So, in a sense, we have some redundancy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are only a few edge cases where the use of two methods is not redundant. Specifically, in cases where the conventions used for transcribing English employ a period to mark an abbreviation, such as in &quot;et al.&quot; or &quot;etc.&quot; we might see non-redundancy. An example of this might be:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in this case, you don't want to use the commands like `\bf`, `\it`, etc. you should use `\textbf` instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here, it's not immediately clear whether the second sentence is a separate sentence or not, just from inspecting capitalization and punctuation. Nonetheless, we **can still figure out what was said**, and it's pretty easy to determine, based on context, what the sentence boundaries are. One user has [claimed that][2]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Barbara's posts as they currently stand are well-nigh unreadable gibberish.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is **patently false**. Any user that can read and comprehend English can read and comprehend barbara's answers. Though I tried searching the internet for studies on whether there is any **empirical** evidence documenting a decrease in comprehension/readability based on lack of sentence-initial capitalization, I could not find anything.&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; Nonetheless, I have an intuition&amp;#8212;an intuition that I suspect others share, if they are honest with themselves&amp;#8212;that there would be no significant difference in comprehension, should someone actually bother to conduct an empirical study.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, [tohecz worries][3] that this will lead to peOPlE adOPTing TeEN caSINg. First point to note: it is now 2014 (no longer 2011), and, as far as I am aware, there has been no instance of this. Second point to note: there is actually an **argument** to be made that fixing someone's post that uses &quot;teen casing&quot; improves readability/comprehension. Again, I haven't found any empirical studies, but I have an intuition&amp;#8212;as well as the phenomenological experience&amp;#8212;that reading &quot;teen casing&quot; is harder and takes longer than normal casing. I suspect this would be confirmed with an empirical study, should someone really want to waste their time carrying out such a study.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, this warrants editing the ridiculous behavior of the user who asked http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/consensus-vs-accepted-answers-on-meta because they eventually edited the question to include this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Specifically, editing such a post would **improve the comprehension and readability** of the post for at least two reasons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. the user does not conform to conventional English spelling (which makes it particularly hard for non-native speakers of English to understand); and&#xD;&#xA;2. the use of code/keyboard markup might mislead one into thinking that `STYLEZ`, for example, is a tag or a LaTeX package or something, something which is probably easily dismissible, but might nonetheless confuse new users on the site&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, the &quot;consensus&quot;&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; on TeX.SX at the time of writing seems to be to respect **barbara**'s style&amp;#8212;*which is readable and comprehensible*&amp;#8212;not *any* style. That is to say, there is not a rational argument against *not* respecting *her particular style*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A positive argument from changing the meaning of an answer&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Nonetheless, if one is able to delude oneself into thinking that lack of sentence-initial capitalization somehow really turns some writing into &quot;well-nigh unreadable gibberish&quot;,&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt; there is a further positive argument for respecting barbara's style, in addition to the one already sketched by Paulo. This one comes from David Carlisle in [a comment][6]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; @DavidMulder You are ignoring the fact that your edit was simply a bad edit, irrespective of any general conventions about fixing grammar. It changes the meaning of the answer (given the statement on the user profile). Perhaps you think that's a bad convention for a user to have but making all following readers believe that a statement is an official policy statement of the American Mathematical Society when it was explicitly marked as not being so in its original form is a bad edit and should be reverted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The moral of the story&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, even if you don't buy the negative argument I've sketched (for whatever reason), we still have at least two positive reasons for why we ought to respect barbara's style, which is not to say that we ought to respect *any* style, *if that style really makes a post harder to comprehend or read (especially for non-native speakers of English)*. In such cases as those, editing is then probably the Right Way™ and a Good Thing™.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Indeed, [percusse counts seven such users][7].&#xD;&#xA;2.

I've demarcated these three points with section headings.&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A positive argument based on copyright and attribution&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, I think Paulo Cereda has already made a great case for respecting a poster's style in [his answer][1] to http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2599/why-were-my-edits-rejected given reasons of copyright and attribution:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I see the SE network as an awesome Q&amp;A knowledge base, a new tendency. But I fear that people misunderstand the real concept and see threads as collaborative wiki. If it's a wiki, everything is fine, because you are collaboratively editing stuff. The Q&amp;A model is based on people asking and answering questions. The site footer gives us a hint:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &gt; user contributions licensed under cc-wiki with attribution required&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If we take a closer look on these links, we find the following statement:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &gt;Attribution - You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; When we edit things from other users, we are signing a risky contract: we are somehow influencing the author's contribution - for better or for worse. But note that it's up to the author to decide if the modifications to his/her answer should really take place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A negative argument based on readability and comprehension&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, Paulo does go on to mention that we should nonetheless keep in mind that edits *improving* spelling and grammar are probably Good Things™.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So we can ask whether editing barbara's answers to fix capitalization would fall into the category of *improving* spelling and grammar. The answer is **no**, at least not if we take *improve* to mean something like 'make more readable, make more comprehensible, etc.'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fact that writing systems are *technological inventions* is an underappreciated fact. They postdate human use of language, and they are, ultimately, nothing more than technological inventions that encode a set of conventions that we use to represent the *language* in our heads.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, certain conventions, such as consistent spelling, are arguably useful. Conventions that demarcate sentence boundaries are also arguably useful. In fact, they reflect prosodic cues that one gets in spoken language.&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The conventions that are used by this particular technological invention for encoding English happen to employ two methods of demarcating sentence boundaries: capitalization and punctuation. So, in a sense, we have some redundancy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are only a few edge cases where the use of these two methods is not redundant. Specifically, in cases where the conventions used for transcribing English employ a period to mark an abbreviation, such as in &quot;et al.&quot; or &quot;etc.&quot; we might see non-redundancy. An example of this might be:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in this case, you don't want to use the commands like `\bf`, `\it`, etc. you should use `\textbf` instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here, it's not immediately clear whether the second sentence is a separate sentence or not, just from inspecting capitalization and punctuation. Nonetheless, we **can still figure out what was said**, and it's pretty easy to determine, based on context, what the sentence boundaries are. One user has [claimed that][2]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Barbara's posts as they currently stand are well-nigh unreadable gibberish.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is **patently false**. Any user that can read and comprehend English can read and comprehend barbara's answers. Though I tried searching the internet for studies on whether there is any **empirical** evidence documenting a decrease in comprehension/readability based on lack of sentence-initial capitalization, I could not find anything.&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; Nonetheless, I have an intuition&amp;#8212;an intuition that I suspect others share, if they are honest with themselves&amp;#8212;that there would be no significant difference in comprehension, should someone actually bother to conduct an empirical study.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, [tohecz worries][3] that this will lead to peOPlE adOPTing TeEN caSINg. First point to note: it is now 2014 (no longer 2012, the time of tohecz's comment), and, as far as I am aware, there has been no instance of this. Second point to note: there is actually an **argument** to be made that fixing someone's post that uses &quot;teen casing&quot; improves readability/comprehension. Again, I haven't found any empirical studies, but I have an intuition&amp;#8212;as well as the phenomenological experience&amp;#8212;that reading &quot;teen casing&quot; is harder and takes longer than reading normal casing. I suspect this would be confirmed with an empirical study, should someone really want to waste their time carrying out such a study.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, this warrants editing the ridiculous behavior of the user who asked http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/consensus-vs-accepted-answers-on-meta because they eventually edited the question to include this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Specifically, editing such a post would **improve the comprehension and readability** of the post for at least two reasons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. the user does not conform to conventional English spelling (which makes it particularly hard for non-native speakers of English to understand); and&#xD;&#xA;2. the use of code/keyboard markup might mislead one into thinking that `STYLEZ`, for example, is a tag or a LaTeX package or something, a hypothesis which is probably easily dismissible, but might nonetheless confuse new users on the site&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, the &quot;consensus&quot;&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; on TeX.SX at the time of writing seems to be to respect **barbara**'s style&amp;#8212;*which is readable and comprehensible*&amp;#8212;not *any* style.

(Rules are clearly appropriate for legal matters, for example.) Each StackExchange network site has its own conventions, and those are to some extent 'organic'. They also need to work with the fact that each question and answer involves a 'real' person: people are funny things, and rules don't always work so well with them! So there's got to be some flexibility. (I'll come back to that below.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As noted in comments, voting on the meta site involves a subset of people 'routinely active' on the site, and that in itself is a subset of people who visit the site. As such, the best one can say about votes on meta is that they give some indication of the feeling of some of the site users. At the same time, there's no way of seeing what the history of voting is. Asking a 'how do we deal with ...' question requires that at some stage there is a decision: presumably there is some form of implementation to be done. However, votes can continue after this, so what gets implemented might end up not being what has the most votes. One way of indicating which answer seems to have 'won' at some arbitrary point is to accept it, but as we can't see the history we can't actually tell if that was the case here (at least, I can't be certain).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While the network emphasis the wiki/collaborative element to questions and answers, each one has someone's name on it. That's something we should, I think, be mindful about. So it's one thing to have a convention to 'fix' things, but another to ignore the OP when the roll such edits back. For example, there is a weak convention on the site to remove 'thanks' from questions, but if the OP rolls back such an edit then I'd usually anticipate that it would be 'left alone'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think it's important to note here that as noted in comments on the question, there are a reasonable number of votes in both directions on the ['What should the guideline be?'](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2097/respecting-posters-style) question, and also quite a number in favour of a 'light touch' approach  laid out in response to a [previous question on this area](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2599/why-were-my-edits-rejected). As such, and in the context of 'How are decisions reached?', it seems to me that this is not an area where there is a _clear_ consensus one way or the other. As such, we as a 'community' and in particular the mod team are left having to find a workable balance. To me, that 'balance' seems to be to edit where it will be seen by the OP as helpful whilst avoiding editing 'wars' as much as possible. (That of course does mean having to accept some things that as an individual I may not be 100% happy about.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the end, my feeling is that we do better having a wider range of contributors, even with the odd eccentricity, than rigidly enforcing a set of 'rules'. To date, we've not had any serious confusion from people looking for help, at least that I know of." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Speaking from both personal experience and from having read theories of consensus, consensus is often **hard** to achieve. It takes long face-to-face conversations and a lot of work and energy. This is something that the Stack Exchange model neither provides nor facilitates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unless a network is still in beta and has fewer than 50 (20?) users, I find it particularly unlikely that **consensus** will ever be reached about anything that is even slightly controversial.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So this means that we're talking about (at best) majority-based decision making processes,&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; and this inherently entails that some users will be unhappy.&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, what's the point of this discussion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Well, the Stack Exchange model has been setup so as to facilitate the creation of communities, and these communities are, within limits, free to determine some of their own policies, practices, and oddities. Given that some of these policies will perhaps be controversial and given that the Stack Exchange model does not allow for consensus-based decision making processes, we have to accept that some users will be unhappy. So while this does not address the question about how &quot;consensus&quot; is actually determined (and I think [David has already raised some good points][2] about this), it is important to recognize that this is **not** &quot;consensus&quot; and just because some individuals (often individuals who do not participate regularly in the TeX.SX community, if at all) get upset, does not mean that we should immediately stop our practice and adopt theirs because the other way of doing things will not necessarily be any better. That is, it will just make other users upset.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It's not clear that this even constitutes majority-based decision making. See [@cfr's comment][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. This is why [comments like this][1], I think, are ridiculous. Why doesn't SO stop running so roughshod with new users? That obviously repels a lot of users. So SO should obviously stop doing that, right?! Of course not. There is good reason that they do things the way that they do. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2599/why-were-my-edits-rejected#comment6513_2599&#xD;&#xA;[2]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/consensus-vs-accepted-answers-on-meta/4515#4515&#xD;&#xA;[3]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/consensus-vs-accepted-answers-on-meta/4518?noredirect=1#comment14913_4518" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You are shown these posts, one at a time, and you &quot;review&quot; them. Like flagging, [there](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/badges/211/custodian) [are](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/badges/128/reviewer) [badges](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/badges/212/steward) for this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; So, what constitutes a &quot;review&quot;? It depends on the queue. The queues have one consistent option, though — the &quot;skip&quot; option. This permanently skips the post (you won't see it in the same review queue again) and is useful if you're not sure what to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Each user has their own copy of the queue — if you review a post in a queue, it is not necessarily removed from that queue for other users. It gets removed for all users after a few more reviews by other users (the exact amount depends upon the queue and review action done).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Badge-hunters may be prone to falsely review posts in these queues without really considering their content. This despite there being mention of the &quot;skip&quot; button &quot;if you're not sure what to do&quot;.

Surely the asker benefits from contributors' answers, but it\s also worth keeping the bigger picture mind.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. [Offer a bounty](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/bounty)!

In its current form, your question might not receive many answers. Please take a look at the [How to Ask](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/how-to-ask)-page and try to improve your question according to the guidance found there. This may require you to show some effort on your part in terms of attempting a solution. If you have questions about what to do or if you don't quite understand what this means, please ask for clarification using the `add comment` function.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### &quot;Just do it for me&quot; graphics questions ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ``[Welcome to TeX.SX](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436).

See [minimal working example (MWE)](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/228) for what needs to go into such a document.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Marking code ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Code blocks:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces, they'll be [marked as a code sample](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1192). You can also highlight the code and click the &quot;code&quot; button (with &quot;{}&quot; on it).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Inline code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  ```[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) A tip: You can use backticks `\`` to [mark your inline code](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/863) as I did in my edit.```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Code blocks *and* inline code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  ```[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) A tip: If you [indent lines by 4 spaces](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1192) or [enclose words in backticks `\``](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/863), they'll be marked as code, as can be seen in my edit. You can also highlight the code and click the &quot;code&quot; button (with &quot;{}&quot; on it).```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Intro / closing ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) You don't have to sign with your name since [it automatically appears in the lower right corner](http://tex.stackexchange.com/faq#signatures) of your post.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Alternatively:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) It's not necessary to sign your questions (as [there is already a box with your username below it](http://tex.stackexchange.com/faq#signatures)) or to begin them with a greeting.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Alternatively:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) Usually, we don't put a greeting or a “thank you” in our posts. While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. [Accepting and upvoting answers is the preferred way here](http://tex.stackexchange.com/about) to say “thank you” to users who helped you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  And optionally for all:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `A suggestion: Do us a favour and change your username to something more telling than &quot;user1234&quot;.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Merging accounts ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `It looks like you've got two separate accounts, which means you cannot edit your&#xD;&#xA;original post or leave comments. The StackExchange staff can [merge them together for you](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/user-merge).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Possible duplicates ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See discussion in http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2770/closing-questions-as-exact-duplications-best-practice for notes on these messages!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- For new(ish) users whose question looks like it might get closed as a duplicate:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) This question is very similar to [link]. Please take a look at it as the information there might help you. If so, that's great, and we'll probably close this question as a duplicate just to keep the place tidy and to help people find answers quickly. If not, please edit your question here to explain why so that people can better focus their attention to help you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- On casting first dupe vote on a question where the OP has not said 'Oh yes, it's a dupe':&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `I've voted to close this as a duplicate because currently, the question looks very similar to [link]. Note that closing a question is not final. If you feel that this question is not a duplicate you can edit it to add more information, in which case it may be reopened.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### For questions that are likely to be closed ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `If your question is closed and you still need help, don't worry, [here you'll find help on what to do next](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1015).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Alternatively, for already closed questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `If the linked question doesn't solve your problem, please edit your question to explain why and we'll reopen it. Closing as a duplicate is just a way of ensuring that people who find this question easily find the other one.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- MathJax questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `While [tag:MathJax] uses LaTeX syntax, it uses Javascript and HTML's DOM model rather than TeX technology, making it mostly off topic for this site. You might try instead searching among the [questions tagged with mathjax on StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mathjax), or in the official [mathjax-users](https://groups.google.com/forum/mathjax-users) Google group.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Please ‘accept’ an answer below ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One should [wait a day](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/209) before leaving this comment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `Since you have some responses below that seem to answer your question, please consider marking one of them as ‘Accepted’ by clicking on the tickmark below their vote count (see [How do you accept an answer?](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1852)). This shows which answer helped you most, and it assigns reputation points to the author of the answer (and to you!). It's part of [this site's idea to identify good questions and answers through upvotes and acceptance of answers](http://tex.stackexchange.com/about).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that in case of a self-answer [one _has_ to wait 48 hours (after the question was posted) before accepting](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/01/accept-your-own-answers/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How to look up a symbol ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `Have a look at [“How to look up a symbol?”](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14) for ideas how you can easily find a particular symbol.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Do not use Debian packages (For the future, as for now it has TL 2012) ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ``Debian (except unstable) and Ubuntu still contain TeX Live 2012. Many packages have been significantly improved since then. I would recommend installing TeX Live directly from [TUG](http://tug.org/texlive/) instead of using the Debian packages. That way you can always get current package versions by running `sudo tlmgr update --all`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Upload images only over the official interface ###&#xD;&#xA;- ``Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official Stack Exchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: Ctrl+G). This ensures that all images will always be accessible and won't expire.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ``As new user without image posting privileges simply include the image as normal and remove the `!` in front of it to turn it into a link. A moderator or another user with edit privileges can then reinsert the `!` to turn it into an image again.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Reminder for being clement ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `Please don't downvote below a score of -1, even if the question in its current form needs some improvement. A score of -1 is enough to show that the question needs work, anything below that is of no use. Also, if you downvote or vote to close, please leave a comment explaining why you did so, but wait at least 24 hours after asking the OP for improvements to the question before voting to close.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Optional addition: `Don't forget, it's a new user!`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `This should not have been closed. Please wait at least 24 hours after asking the OP for improvements to the question before voting to close. Also, if you downvote, please don't forget to revert the vote after the question is improved.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Enhanced version:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `This should not have been closed: The question has been improved significantly from its first version. Please wait at least 24 hours after asking the OP for improvements to the question before voting to close. Also, if you downvote, please don't forget to revert the vote after the question is improved.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Packages for creating MWEs ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `(The [lipsum](http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `(The [blindtext](http://ctan.org/pkg/blindtext) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `(The [kantlipsum](http://ctan.org/pkg/kantlipsum) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `(The filecontents environment is only used to include some external files directly into the example, so that it compiles. It is not necessary for the solution.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## For moderators ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `Just a note to confirm _X_'s comment, this ought to be reposted as a question for you to get the best chance of it being answered. Also, it's a little confusing to have fresh questions in the _answers_ section, so this answer will be removed from public view in _N_ days.`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

  <row Id="14517" PostHistoryTypeId="5" PostId="4490" RevisionGUID="905dafd3-7653-4850-90b9-8deff283e0e4" CreationDate="2014-08-08T22:47:13.370" UserId="586" Comment="added 1154 characters in body" Text="The basic principle is exactly the same whether you use LaTeX or LyX: *create a document that contains the least amount of content possible, while still demonstrating the problem at hand.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, if you have a problem with a table, you can probably remove all the text in the document, except for the table itself. If you have added anything to Document --&gt; Settings --&gt; LaTeX preamble that doesn't influence tables in any way, you can remove that as well. The LyX Wiki has a page about this as well: http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A key point is to make sure that your MWE is *able to reproduce the problem*. If it is an error you're wondering about, then trying to create a PDF from the MWE should generate that error. So test your MWE before adding it to a post.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Adding the MWE to a post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two options, you can either add the `.lyx` file itself, or the exported LaTeX source. If this is some LyX specific issue, then the former is better I suppose. The benefit of the latter is that more people will be able to answer, the disadvantage is that you may need to 'translate' the answer to LyX. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. **Adding the `.lyx` file.** You cannot upload files to posts on StackExchange, but as a `.lyx` file is actually just a plain text file, you can open it in a text editor, and copy-paste the lot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Exactly how you do this depends on operating system, but typically you right click on the file, choose *Open with* and then a text editor, such as Gedit, Kate or Notepad. (Or you open the `.lyx` file from the editor.) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. **Adding exported LaTeX source.** In LyX, do File --&gt; Export --&gt; LaTeX (pdfLaTeX). This will generate a `.tex` file in the same folder as the `.lyx` file. Open it, and copy-paste the contents into your post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(In both cases, add syntax highlighting by selecting the entire code block and clicking the `{}` button above the text field, or hitting &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## What do I do about images?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If images are required for your example, remember that we don't have access to the. There are a few things you can do instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Go to Document --&gt; Settings --&gt; Document class, and add `demo` to the *Custom* class options. This should replace the images with black rectangles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Use the images from the `mwe` package. If that package is installed, you will have images called `example-image`, `example-image-a`, `example-image-b`, `example-image-c`, `example-image-16x10`, `example-image-10x16`, and a few more (see the package documentation). Each is available in several formats.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; In LyX, write just the name of one of these, without a file ending, like so:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  ![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; The image will not show in LyX, but it will appear in the PDF. If a specific size is required for the example, specify this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  (It is *not* necessary to add `\usepackage{mwe}` to the preamble).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Replace the image with an ERT containing e.g. `\rule{3cm}{2cm}` which creates a black rectangle that is 3cm wide and 2cm high. Modify the size if needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/RbC7K.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This in part reflects the fact that the StackExchange model builds on the requirements of the StackOverflow site, and there the concerns we can have about 'flooding' the front page with edits simply do not apply. (They have *thousands* of questions per day and also a different algorithm for filling the front page.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As such, we have to use the tools we do have if there is something to be raised. Obviously meta questions are one tool, but particularly during an ongoing 'edit spree' it's perhaps best to ping the three mods in the chat room (`@JosephWright`, `@StefanKottwitz`, `@MartinScharrer`).

Every post is limited to 30kB of text, and a bunch of figures, if you wish.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why? Well, there's couple reasons (most of them were already summarized in the comments):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;0. **StackExchange can't host large files.** Once you allow them, there's be a large lot of them, and that's at least very expensive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;0. **Users aren't willing to download untrusted contents.** And they shouldn't be. It's not an issue with LaTeX that much, it's quite difficult to demage a computer from within a LaTeX file, but SE often deals with languages where `cat /dev/random | dd &gt; SOMETHING` can damage your computer within milliseconds. It's easy to eye-verify a short piece of code, but not large files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;0. **There's very hardly a question that can't be stated within 30kB.** In LaTeX, most problems are of the form: &quot;I don't know how to do XYZ,&quot; or: &quot;Using `\bar` inside `\foo` causes an error.&quot; Very likely, your question fits into one of these cases. The only necessary thing is to follow the steps in [minimal working example (MWE) FAQ](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/228) and invest your own time into analyzing the problem before asking others to go through large bunches of your code.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;0. **There are places where you can upload a file.** The more creditted are e.g. Google Drive or Dropbox; for source code, GitHub can be handy, too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;0. **In case you need to provide a 3rd party file.** It happens that for instance a university thesis class is troublesome. In that case, it's probably accessible from the university's webpages, so simply link it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;_(Marked CW since it contains a summary of suggestions by several people.)_" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Firstly, if one of these people answers a question on &quot;their&quot; package, I would hold that answer in higher regard than if Jo User answers it and would be willing to place more confidence in it.  Secondly, if a question turns up that is about that package then it might be useful to know who to nudge about it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I most emphatically would not want is that regular people (such as myself) stop answering questions on packages where the maintainer is present - that would be counterproductive - so if people feel that that would happen, please vote to close and delete this!

There are also some FAQs (like the famous and repeatable asked how-to-place-my-figure-here question) which need to be linked to the appropriate existing question. Sometimes I have issues finding the related question quickly even if I already linked to it a couple of times before.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I thought it would be good to have a collection of such often references questions sorted after topic in a meta post similar to our create [Text building blocks](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/430).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions should be listed after topic. Every topic as CW answer to this post.&#xD;&#xA;Please use the following format:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ## Topic Headline at Start of Answer Post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * [question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;) [2 spaces] [linebreak]&#xD;&#xA;     ``[question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;)``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This way the question is provided as link (for quick access from this page) as well as markdown code suitable for comments (and as in-line link in a chat message). The URL can be received by using the `link` link below a question. There is also an [stackapps app](http://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](http://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format. The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`. The first order headlines are a little to large IMHO.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Please look at the [list of supported languages](http://google-code-prettify.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/README.html). If your language is not on the list, it needs to be created within the Prettify project before it can be deployed by Stack Exchange.

If it hasn't, feel free to report it or [join the project](https://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/people/list) and submit a fix yourself. If you want to ensure that an issue you raised is fixed quickly, it's best to include the fix in the report.

It only ever does it on the one image.  I can upload smaller ones as PNG and they remain that when uploaded, but the file that keeps changing is only 0.98MB.  I read that the max size for a PNG file is 2MB, so why is it changing? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I really need it as PNG as I need the transparency.  Not to mention that the quality is severely diminished as a JPG file. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ###Answer by Sushubh Mittal, Jan 28, 2012&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The maximum non-animated file size you can upload is 10MB. However, if the image is over 1MB then it will automatically be compressed or resized to 1MB, for better viewing on the net. The maximum animated file size (both GIF and PNG) is 2MB.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; PNG around 1MB are getting optimized I guess. You might try to drop the filesize a bit more before uploading to IMGUR. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ### Answer by Sarah, Jan 30, 2012&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Sorry for the inconvenience.

The motivation for providing this options stems from the ease with which certain insignificant edits are considered helpful when the moderation requires additional edits. That is, when someone makes an edit that the moderator (anyone with the [edit privilege](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/edit)) feels is insufficient, the default &quot;This edit was helpful&quot; used to be pre-selected. So, if nothing was done by the moderator, the edit was considered helpful (scoring the editor +2 rep).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; It was felt that there should be a default &quot;This edit was not helpful, yet a larger edit is in order&quot; option, bringing forth the &quot;Reject and Edit&quot; button we see today. Click on the &quot;[Improve edit](http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/239157/168244)&quot; (also new, as of 2014-09-10) option to consider it both helpful and requiring more edit-worthy juice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4.

That totally depend on the application and each application has different requirements. Not to mention that every time humans are involved you have to consider their ability to use the tool. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll give you a practical example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is an application I've recently developed for a friend who manages a hotel/restaurant. In this period of the year they have junior sport teams retreats. They need to know in advance what people is gonna eat, so they provide to the teams menus. Kids are may and don't eat a variety of things, so in the past they managed to print 6 menus per page. They were doing this with a well known commercial software and, honestly, that wasn't much practical.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, coming to the point, how to speed up things here? With LaTeX, obviously. Basically, I created a simple graphical interface&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;that allows to select dishes from a database. This is possible with very limited knowledge of PHP and MySQL. Pressing submit, the interface redirects to a confirmation page &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][2] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;but in background it creates, with LaTeX, a PDF: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][3] &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Source file is just create on the way on the basis of information provided (dishes, number of menus and so on).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Although there's LaTeX in background, the guys don't need to know anything about LaTeX. They just press few buttons of a ''traditional'' web page. And this really improved their workflow: no need of Word templates to re-arrange every time, the process is way faster and, most important `;)`, they have guidelines to cut the menus (thanks TikZ, and `background` package as well). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The experiment was very positive and now they're thinking to have an update to handle other types of menu more complicated and fancy than that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/hSMsQ.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/pkExc.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/kBMSQ.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

First, some context; we have&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4541/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4045/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(and more)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This thing is bothering me for some time already, especially after the migration of many users who do more or less exclusively reviewing on the site but not much of actual content contribution. Not that I am dismissing or underestimating the effort that goes in but there is a fine line between having a lust-driven relationship with review buttons and actually reviewing the questions properly (which means once in a while clicking that $%$%^#&amp; **Skip** button if you don't have any idea about the subject). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fun fact; I have tried a few identification experiments such that I found a recently closed question and then voted for reopening (i've chosen closed-with-valid-reasoning ones to maximize the effect) and some users who actually voted for closing also voted for reopening. Now no need for calling names for this but, if you excuse my French, this is bullock-cart-pulling-bullshit (emphasis is mine). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, I don't know why you hang out here but I like being borderline useful while learning a lot. Also, as a recent-beginner of Python and Linux, I really feel the pain of some of the users that ask quick questions with haste because sometimes you really don't know what else to do and having copy/pasted every damn solution on SO or any other place, it quickly becomes a mess. Last thing you need is to put *n*-propeller-powered-jetillion nuances/rituals about what the site rules are or whatever the forum owners' girlfriend implemented somewhere. With a little bit of effort and gentle nudges, most new users give in without any sour feeling and make a MWE, it takes time and patience and we have a lot of it in here. Or had. Now all I see is dictating comments on how things operate here and *if you don't obey my warning, I'll call my mod brother and he'll whoop yo ass.* attitude. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hang on; another thing needs to be out-of-the-way; There are these things called Stackexchange network rules, nobody knows who come up with them and why but in their own environement they make sense (I hope). And through some law-abiding-never-law-questioning citizens of that network we are introduced to these things. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a recent one that claims that I'm not informed well about a site that I'm not even registered see http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, if this means that powers that be actually dictate what we are doing here then, first, it goes against the notion of community-driven Q&amp;A site, second, I am out of this place, in the first instance (which has no impact of course but I'm out anyway). It bears no threat value just my opinion. The reason is that I didn't sign up for this, and truly I don't care what owner of SE network thinks about TeX-SX. All I know is that, there are users who really dedicate their time and patience to come up with the wittiest solutions that we all see and also there are these review-people who click on the buttons like crazy in the name of some obscure nonsense that is maybe applicable to a humongous site that is called Stackoverflow that bares no resemblance to this site, I mean, in any possible statistical aspect. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My argument goes like this; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Our number of question intake is not changing dramatically, so we were OK with not closing every question in 2 hours --&gt; We will be OK without closing them in 2 hours&#xD;&#xA; - Our number of active users is amazing including those review-junkees, even spams don't last longer than a few 5-minutes --&gt; No need to fear about the unanswered/asked ratio, we are doing pretty good without closing them like crazy.&#xD;&#xA; - New users were getting confused already with stock comments --&gt; Now they are more pissed off in average (based on my observation so no facts here) But this question http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/200168/ believe it or not closed twice! Not once. We reopened it David wrote an answer and we closed it again. (The OP mentioned closing already but no we have to be faster, modern world doesn't wait, so in your face noobie, don't come back again)&#xD;&#xA; - The close voters don't read the comments or any discussion going on under the question or answers. To be honest they don't read at all as far as I understand. &#xD;&#xA; - This sucks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These close-voting-users however become the unofficial saint-of-the-noobs when they vote for suggested edits. Suddenly every edit ranging from very good ones to oh-it-was-my-screen-having-dust-not-an-actual-comma type of microscopic edits.

First, some context; we have&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4541/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4045/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(and more)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This thing is bothering me for some time already, especially after the migration of many users who do more or less exclusively reviewing on the site but not much of actual content contribution. Not that I am dismissing or underestimating the effort that goes in but there is a fine line between having a lust-driven relationship with review buttons and actually reviewing the questions properly (which means once in a while clicking that $%$%^#&amp; **Skip** button if you don't have any idea about the subject). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fun fact; I have tried a few identification experiments such that I found a recently closed question and then voted for reopening (i've chosen closed-with-valid-reasoning ones to maximize the effect) and some users who actually voted for closing also voted for reopening. Now no need for calling names for this but, if you excuse my French, this is bullock-cart-pulling-bullshit (emphasis is mine). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, I don't know why you hang out here but I like being borderline useful while learning a lot. Also, as a recent-beginner of Python and Linux, I really feel the pain of some of the users that ask quick questions with haste because sometimes you really don't know what else to do and having copy/pasted every damn solution on SO or any other place, it quickly becomes a mess. Last thing you need is to put *n*-propeller-powered-jetillion nuances/rituals about what the site rules are or whatever the forum owners' girlfriend implemented somewhere. With a little bit of effort and gentle nudges, most new users give in without any sour feeling and make a MWE, it takes time and patience and we have a lot of it in here. Or had. Now all I see is dictating comments on how things operate here and *if you don't obey my warning, I'll call my mod brother and he'll whoop yo ass.* attitude. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hang on; another thing needs to be out-of-the-way; There are these things called Stackexchange network rules, nobody knows who come up with them and why but in their own environement they make sense (I hope). And through some law-abiding-never-law-questioning citizens of that network we are introduced to these things. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a recent one that claims that I'm not informed well about a site that I'm not even registered see http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, if this means that powers that be actually dictate what we are doing here then, first, it goes against the notion of community-driven Q&amp;A site, second, I am out of this place, in the first instance (which has no impact of course but I'm out anyway). It bears no threat value just my opinion. The reason is that I didn't sign up for this, and truly I don't care what owner of SE network thinks about TeX-SX. All I know is that, there are users who really dedicate their time and patience to come up with the wittiest solutions that we all see and also there are these review-people who click on the buttons like crazy in the name of some obscure nonsense that is maybe applicable to a humongous site that is called Stackoverflow that bares no resemblance to this site, I mean, in any possible statistical aspect. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My argument goes like this; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Our number of question intake is not changing dramatically, so we were OK with not closing every question in 2 hours --&gt; We will be OK without closing them in 2 hours&#xD;&#xA; - Our number of active users is amazing including those review-junkees, even spams don't last longer than a few 5-minutes --&gt; No need to fear about the unanswered/asked ratio, we are doing pretty good without closing them like crazy.&#xD;&#xA; - New users were getting confused already with stock comments --&gt; Now they are more pissed off in average (based on my observation so no facts here) But this question http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/200168/ believe it or not closed twice! Not once. We reopened it David wrote an answer and we closed it again. (The OP mentioned closing already but no we have to be faster, modern world doesn't wait, so in your face noobie, don't come back again)&#xD;&#xA; - The close voters don't read the comments or any discussion going on under the question or answers. To be honest they don't read at all as far as I understand. &#xD;&#xA; - This sucks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These close-voting-users however become the unofficial saint-of-the-noobs when they vote for suggested edits. Suddenly every edit ranging from very good ones to oh-it-was-my-screen-having-dust-not-an-actual-comma type of microscopic edits. All pass with flying colors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Closing remark&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are so eager to contribute, answer dem questions properly. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the spirit of one of the pillars of TeX-SX : http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12/, **Review Late and Rarely!**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, after all this tasteless rant, here is my actual problem; I'm tired of keeping track of wrongly closed questions or questions with threatening comments under them. I don't know any other way than actually pointing fingers to users which would cause even more bitter taste so question is how can we (assuming that I'm not the only one feeling this strange transition) reach out to these users without creating a primary school level snitching-to-mod game? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I really want to get the attention of those frequent-voting users because I think we can arrive to a better understanding (though it seems difficult if they are high on badges and euphoric on their name up on the The Most Awesome Reviewer list). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Afteredit on an important detail** The reason why I seem to have a tone that targets individuals is because I don't expect the powers-that-be to unimplement this review system anytime soon. So the only way to change this situation is through reviewer behavior. Had this system not in place, they wouldn't be able to vote this quickly and erroneously. Hence while it is true that I speak mostly about reviewers, the target is indirectly and essentially these buttons that amplify and encourage careless reviewing behavior.

MWEB stands for &quot;Minimal Working Example with Bibliography&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The bibliography file contains your bibliographical references. If your question is about Bibtex/Biber/Natbib/Biblatex/..., this file may contain valuable informations useful to answer it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You should use [filecontents](http://ctan.org/pkg/filecontents) environment in order to produce only one file which contains both your latex document and your bibliography file. This file should be copy and paste inside a [code block](http://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help#code). Having only one file allows us to copy and paste the example to test it in a single action.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Example of MWEB (for BibLaTeX):&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[style=authoryear-comp]{biblatex}&#xD;&#xA;    \addbibresource{\jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;    @book{key,&#xD;&#xA;      author = {Author, A.},&#xD;&#xA;      year = {2001},&#xD;&#xA;      title = {Title},&#xD;&#xA;      publisher = {Publisher},&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \cite{key}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \printbibliography&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two important points:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. You should use `\jobname` instead a specific .bib file name. In this way, the `filecontents` environment will take the name of the .tex file in order to generate the .bib file. This practice avoids to accidentally overwrite a .bib file (it is often the case because people use to call their bibliographies &quot;bibliography&quot;...).&#xD;&#xA; 2. This example of MWEB is for BibLaTeX. Adapt it for Natbib/Bibtex/...&#xD;&#xA; 3. Unlike a common thought, the `filecontents` environment must not be used&#xD;&#xA;before the `\documentclass` declaration. This environnement is allowed anywhere in the document’s preamble. The documentation of the first filecontents implementation (in LaTeX2) mentions this limitation; however, it happens to be not true and, anyway, you should use the new implementation (by the call of `filecontents` package) which explicitly removes this limitation.&#xD;&#xA; 4. Unlike a other common thought, you shouldn't use `filecontents*` (note the star) environment. `filecontents*` does not aim to overwrite the file but is designed to remove the mention &quot;[...]generated by the ‘filecontents’ environment[...]&quot; at the top of the file. The new implementation of `filecontents` (which you use when you call the `filecontents` package) overwrite automatically the file if existing (so the point 1 is important).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Warning&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not paste your entire bibliography inside a `filecontents` environment! You should pasted only the problematic references. Keep in mind to be as minimalistic than possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Before I do that, though, I'd like to observe that the question has a good number of votes (23 at the time of writing) and so presumably the concern raised is shared by a spectrum of 'active' users. (We know of course that votes on meta are a bit tricky to interpret.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There seem to me to be two parts to the question: one part about closing votes, a second about comments on questions, and both have interesting comments here. I'll therefore try to each both of them and summarise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of voting to close, the general feeling seems to be that there is no need to rush to vote to close questions. Over time, some questions can indeed be closed, for example when clarity is never achieved, the problem clearly resolves to a minor issue (typo, _etc._), or for many other reasons. However, that doesn't mean that they have to be closed quickly. The latter action is something that the review queues do seem to encourage: they tend to pick up questions not long after asking, and it's then rather easy to vote to close without giving things time. In particular, and perhaps one that we might get the dev team to consider, it's notable that the buttons to vote to close questions in the queue come at the top of the page, making it rather easy to vote without reading the question, any comments, and answers. Moving the button might be a good idea!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As with many things on the site, there are badges for reviewing, and there is at least some likelihood that a certain amount of motivation to review quickly comes from this. That's not just been raised as a concern here: it's come up on the main meta site too. At the moment, I can't say I see any change by the Powers being likely, so we have to adopt a sensible approach to reviewing (see below).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the comments front, the main concern is about asking minimal working examples (MWEs). Experience suggests that most of the time a MWE is useful in dealing with a question: they help track down errors, give clear demonstrations of what's happening and so on. At the same time, there are perfectly clear questions that don't require a MWE. Importantly, asking for a MWE is a _request_ to the questioner to help us to help them: it's certainly not a requirement for asking a question. Hopefully the http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/430/text-building-blocks get this about right, but we can always revise them. (Of course, everyone is free to write comments however they like: the pre-written text is just there as a handy reference, really.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On this area, it's perhaps worth noting something that happened when the close reasons got revised to drop the old 'too localized' and bring in 'unclear' plus custom 'off topic' reasons. The mod team can add a small number of custom 'off topic' reasons to the standard list, and as part of the roll-out the developers added some suggestions. One they put was 'off topic as there is no MWE' (or words to that effect), which the mod team didn't adopt. Over all, lacking a MWE is fine if the question can be understood, so the mod team reasoned that questions which need a MWE but never get one are 'unclear' and _not_ 'off-topic'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The overall approach that's been taken to date on the site to trying to improve 'sub-optimal' questions rather than closing them: after all, the idea of reading questions is to try to help the person asking. As such, the approach most users have taken is that voting to close is something to do _after_ you've tried to guide the questioner to make things clear, and only when that seems to have failed. Of course, there are questions which are massively off-topic, where the OP agrees to them being closed and so on, and those can all get dealt with quickly. For a lot of questions, though, what is best is a bit of patience in helping the questioner to help us to help them!&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

MWEB stands for &quot;Minimal Working Example with Bibliography&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The bibliography file contains your bibliographical references. If your question is about Bibtex/Biber/Natbib/Biblatex/..., this file may contain valuable information useful to answer it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You should use the [`filecontents`](http://ctan.org/pkg/filecontents) environment in order to produce only one file which contains both your latex document and your bibliography file. This file should be copy-and-pasted inside a [code block](http://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help#code).

You should use `\jobname` instead of a specific .bib file name. In this way, the `filecontents` environment will take the name of the .tex file in order to generate the related .bib file. This practice avoids the accidental overwriting of a named .bib file (people often used to call their bibliographies &quot;bibliography&quot;; a dangerous practice).&#xD;&#xA; 2. This example of MWEB is for BibLaTeX. Adapt it for Natbib/Bibtex/...&#xD;&#xA; 3. The original `filecontents` environment could not be used&#xD;&#xA;before the `\documentclass` declaration. This environment is now allowed anywhere in the document’s preamble; it must be preceded by `\usepackage{filecontents}`, which explicitly removes the original limitation.&#xD;&#xA; 4. Unlike another common thought, you shouldn't use `filecontents*` (note the star) environment. `filecontents*` does not aim to overwrite the file but is designed to remove the mention &quot;[...]generated by the ‘filecontents’ environment[...]&quot; at the top of the file. The new implementation of `filecontents` (which you use when you call the `filecontents` package) automatically overwrites the file if it exists (so that point 1 is important).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Warning&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not paste your entire bibliography inside a `filecontents` environment! You should paste only the problematic references that will demonstrate the problem when the MWEB is processed.

Otherwise it starts to get dissected and my point gets lost. Since it has some upvotes and zero reviewer answers here. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Wait actually there is a cute one but not so useful; I initially mentioned that instead of chasing down close votes I would rather prefer having my usual TikZ porn and this is a response&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;I have no time to discuss with you, sorry. I will not answer your question on meta. Good luck with your TikZ porn. I am not deciding in the name of everyone... I am rewiewing in my proper name, of course.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely. So coming back to the essential reason of this whole long, long post is this last bit in the response. But anyway no need to make it personal; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  1. Reviews are not our personal toys, they are, no matter how terribly implemented, here for site moderation and consistency.  They define what is proper and suitable and what is not. They are also exemplary for future visitors to give an idea why a question is closed or why something is edited, retagged. You can't be on your own clicking buttons and not taking null responsibility. But from the look of it, we have no incentive to handle this so this opens for a possibility of everybody hanging around according to their leisure. This is a stronger version of the subtle question I've posted initially. So now we can put it on the table more suitably. This would undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble. If we are smelling the smoke, it won't help if we keep saying that it's still not that hot around here. &#xD;&#xA;  2. Asking for MWE is, with all my respect, getting super-annoying. Here is a simple test; ask yourself this **Am I going to answer this question if the user actually includes a MWE?** If your answer is no then don't bother commenting. The potential answerer can do the same. You are really really not helping. And it is not making anything easier. Because if you see it under every question, it loses its effect (already lost but nevermind).  &#xD;&#xA;  3. The questions are unclear if the OP responds to and still doesn't include information. If two users are interacting, it's not your call to decide on the question. Stop marking every question as unclear. They are not. There is no time limit for a question it can be open for years. &#xD;&#xA;  4. If you will invoke a *I'm keeping the site tidy* argument, then start joining our Answer the Unanswered sessions. There you will have ample amount of happy-trigger satisfaction. No need to slam the questions to the users' faces. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I hope this clarifies a bit about my point. Please come to the chat instead of commenting to this one because apparently this post didn't make any impact so no need for further surgery. Of course you are free to do so but I'm a little reluctant to reply to avoid extensive commenting (see above). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Let me see if I can talk about a couple of them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Religious&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm the coordinator of a small choir in a parish. I decided to come up with a personal songbook to help me on keeping track of songs we use during masses or processions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The songbook is typeset in LaTeX with help of several packages, most notably `songs`, `imakeidx`, `expl3` and `xpatch`. I have a personal database (populated by me) with 1500+ songs and a program that generates the songbook source according to a certain template. I have a couple of scripts written in Bash, Ruby and Python, the database is provided by HSQLDB (I have an SQLite version of it as well) and I use Cheetah or Velocity as templating engines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The following images cover one of my templates. The first image show the main index of the book, sorting songs based on their titles alphabetically. We can also see TikZ doing a cameo in the letter titles. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img001][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The following image presents the song itself. Catholic liturgy teaches us that music is an important part of the mass. So I had to have every rite or gesture mapped to the correct song, e.g, entrance song, Kyrie, Gloria, Alleluia, Presentation of the Gifts, and so forth. I also had to map songs according to their categories and also taking the time of the liturgical year into consideration, e.g, Advent, Christmas, Ordinary Time, Lent and Easter. So I had to cross map all categories along the year. Besides, I also had to take into consideration the calendar of saints, feasts and the sacraments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Every song is self-contained: number, title, list of authors, categories (represented by circles) and the liturgical time (represented by squares). For this version, I decided to go with a Sans version, but it's actually just a matter of taste. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img002][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since I have several categories, I needed a wayto easily search songs according to their moments during the mass. That's where an index shines. For every category, I have a proper index. Note that, in the template, every time the category is typeset, the song title is already indexed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The liturgical time plays an important role too! So take a look at every entry in the index: there are five bullets. They represent Advent, Christmas, Ordinary Time, Lent and Easter, in order! So it's a quick way for me to see if the song is appropriate to the current time and moment of mass: if we have a filled bullet, it means the song is appropriate to the corresponding liturgical time. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img003][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As mentioned before, thanks to templating engines, I can easily change the generated source. The next image shows another layout of the same songbook, now with TikZ all over the place. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img004][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Speaking of TikZ, thanks to vector editing programs like Inkscape, I can have a lot of &quot;macros&quot; in TikZ that draw religious elements in my songbooks and songsheets, like Christ himself in the following image. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img007][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since I have a huge database of songs, I can generate songsheets for my parish. Here's one. Songs are semi-automatically selected in the database (I have a very nice algorithm), then I can analyze the result.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's worth mentioning that there are lots of things underneath this &quot;simple&quot; task. For example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Fonts have to be easily readable by people of all ages, including the elder. The less effort to read, the easier to follow and sing along.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. Songs are treated as atomic blocks, so they won't be spread amongst several columns or pages (so people don't need to keep flipping pages in order to follow a song).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3. If a split is unavoidable, repeat important blocks, so there's one flow (for example, repeat choruses in the following column or page so you don't need to go back). As an counterexample, the following image does not cover this aspect, since it was a prior version of my algorithm. `:P`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's an interaction between TeX and my underlying software infrastructure. `:)` TeX typesets it, tells the box info (height, width) to my subroutines and the algorithm takes control on what to do. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img008][6]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ergonomy matters. `:)` Simple, very simple concepts (yet not so trivial to implement, I tell you) that make a huge difference. People sometimes come to me and say, *&quot;I love how you managed Word to achieve such nice layout!&quot;*. Oh if they knew. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The next image refers to a wedding sheet I did to a friend. We can see the Gospel according to Mark. The colour is green because of the liturgical time (ordinary time). I also have a mass sheet template in case we need to add the lectures, psalm, gospel and the eucharistic prayer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img006][7]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Speaking of eucharistic prayers, I had an old template for an order of mass. I actually need to rewrite a lot of stuff, but I guess you can get the idea from it (I don't like the icons too much). `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img012][8]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also have another (tiny) database of songs in which I have additional musical information (I usually know how to play most of the songs by heart, so I only populate this database according to the demand of other people). Here's one of my chorded songbooks:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img009][9]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since I am lazy, I used the very same database to generate a song sheet for my parish, so people could follow the lyrics and sing along, as we see in the following image. It is just a very simple text processing and everything is ready. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img011][10]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;During the holy week, we have a schedule of things that happen in the parish, from processions to masses. So I decided to give it a try and write this schedule in TeX and friends. I think the little clocks add a nice touch, don't you think? `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img010][11]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One of my lovely psalmists is learning how to read song scores. Meanwhile, we use this trick to help her know where her voice needs to go up or down. `:)` Very simple yet it works like a charm. Yay!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img013][12]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And I also have a transcript of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in TeX and friends. We can see the original in German on the left, and the English translation on the right.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img014][13]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think I have a couple more things, but I couldn't find them in my backup, so that's what I have to offer on the religious section. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# General&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I found a couple of jewels worth sharing on general stuff. At least it's a good way of seeing TeX and friends outside of the academic bubble. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a lovely happy birthday card we did for David Carlisle. Of course, David loved it. Nicola was also in charge of the cake.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img][14]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also found a TikZ version of Pikachu. Just don't ask me why I had TikZ code that generates this yellow rat. Sean liked it though. `:)` It might be useful for someone's thesis, I believe.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img][15]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I play Pokémon Y in my Nintendo 3DS, but I know nothing about types and stuff, so I had to come up with a table that helps me understand what the heck I was doing. Here it is.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img][16]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For Valentine's day, I had a song by John Denver written with the magic of TeX. Too bad it didn't work. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img][17]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TeX and friends also help my mom. Every time she needs a recipe, I go to the computer and typeset it for her. Then I have the perfect excuse to eat the recipe afterwards. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img][18]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I once tried to write a letter to Santa, but that didn't work. I got a rock. Stupid rock.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img][19]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And also we need to keep the football momentum in the chatroom, so we have our favourite Italian team!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img][20]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, we also have some internet memes:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img][21]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img][22]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img][23]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We also do book covers in TeX:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img][24]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I once had to typeset a couple of dominoes, so I wrote some TikZ code that does the trick for me nicely. I can have any combination I want! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img][25]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And at last but not least, a timeless StackOverflow classic:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![img][26]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Moral of the story&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are lots of ways of using TeX and friends. Like clay in the hand of the potter, we shape TeX to do whatever our hearts desire. So we can use it to help others, in a way or another. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Mere macro expansions.

Stack Exchange has always explicitly encouraged users to answer their own questions.

Right? Correct. But also not really.

We sometimes close questions as being *off-topic* because they are minor, yet the question is clearly on-topic (previously this would have been better filed as a &quot;too localized&quot; closure, but we don't have that option anymore). We sometimes close questions that aren't reproducible as being *unclear* when it's perfectly clear that the OP has a problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In closing, there are no hard-and-fast rules in terms of community decisions.

Sometimes I have issues finding the related question quickly even if I already linked to it a couple of times before.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I thought it would be good to have a collection of such often references questions sorted after topic in a meta post similar to our create [Text building blocks](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/430).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions should be listed after topic. Every topic as CW answer to this post.&#xD;&#xA;Please use the following format:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ## Topic Headline at Start of Answer Post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * [question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;) [2 spaces] [linebreak]&#xD;&#xA;     ``[question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;)``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This way the question is provided as link (for quick access from this page) as well as markdown code suitable for comments (and as in-line link in a chat message). The URL can be received by using the `link` link below a question. There is also an [stackapps app](http://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](http://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format. The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`. The first order headlines are a little to large IMHO.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However, it may reflect the reversal of votes (and therefore also reputation) of previous days.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, assume user ABC serially voted on your post on two separate days. X reputation on day one, and Y reputation on day two (let Z = X + Y). On day three, the reversal detection algorithm is ran ([every night around 03:00 UTC](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/126829/168244)) and finds Z reputation is suspect and should be reversed. StackExchange's reversal doesn't remove X from day one and Y from day two. Instead it's *sufficient* to leave the reputation for days one and two untouched, but remove Z from day three. Quoting from [What is serial voting and how does it affect me?](http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/126857/168244):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Whenever serial voting gets reversed, all days involved in the serial voting will be recalculated as if the serial votes had never happened, and any reputation you might have lost due to those serial votes hitting the reputation cap will be given to you at that time. Serial voters will not prevent you from gaining reputation that you deserve.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The mention here of reputation is only for what is lost (through down-votes), not gained. You only gained reputation (through up-votes) and therefore there is no reflection of reputation change other than the combined serial upvoting reversal.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would assume the problems associated with this approach is fairly minimal. If badges were awarded based on the serial (up)voting, they won't be retracted anyway (as badges are never retracted)." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;This question appears to be off-topic because it is about a matter that could be resolved by consulting a basic latex manual.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;does not simply apply here. We answer almost whatever we like. Not liking a question or triviality of it never was a closing reason and hopefully never would be. There are I don't know how many duplicates of this issue that I'm too lazy for it search. I invite the close voter to do his/her **research** on our meta :P &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Besides  if we are feeling the irresistible urge for closing off-topic is the worst reason. *Unclear* might be barely ok. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But since there are two answers already I would say closing is pointless. Because, again as we discussed too many times before, we say it's closed for bla bla and 2 centimeters below there is a 7 voted accepted answer. It's because we are closing too early and very unnecessarily. This would have been counted as a answered but now marked as closed. It's even hurting statistics. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;People are starting to get too good with TeX here and starting to belittle most of the questions. I would invite these, obviously not you barbara beeton, to go back and check their horrible (tongue-in-cheek) questions. And maybe they can remember what a new user feels like. We, if I may speak on behalf of old users, welcomed them and still do but I'm hoping they can continue same niceness instead of slamming the questions to OPs faces. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One last detail as a demonstration of the previous level; we don't close *what is this symbol?* questions as a duplicate of Detexify answer if we cannot find it ourselves. If we were cynical we would close all those by the *do your research* argument. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There should be a space for asking good basic questions, certainly when they are phrased such that the question is clear, self-contained and likely to help future user. More problematic are basic questions where that's not the case: the one raised here certainly isn't a great question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As we know, 'off topic' is one of the reasons the 'Powers' give us to close questions and is intended not only to cover out-and-out off-topic posts but also stuff not answered 'by convention'. In some areas, such as typos and bug reports, we have had the discussion and reached a consensus that at present 'off topic' is the most appropriate way to handle them. However, that I know of we've not had a general discussion about 'basic' questions and how to deal with them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Closing questions isn't necessarily a negative thing: the idea for example of marking duplicates is to avoid repeated effort in answering questions (likely over time to lead to poorer answers) while pointing the questioner to useful resources and hopefully aiding anyone searching in the future. Similarly, closing as 'off topic' or 'too broad' doesn't mean that there is not a valid discussion to be had about something: it means that the format here isn't suited to such a discussion. Thus the issue is at least in part is what reason(s) are appropriate for closing (some)  general questions and how should this be phrased/commented to make the action helpful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One issue here is that not all 'general' questions are the same. Some as I say I think are very solid useful posts which deserve good upvotes and good answers. On the other hand, some questions we see are poorly formulated and difficult to assign to one specific issue. Those might be too broad or might be off topic. On the other hand, questions which we do have clear answers for (hopefully attached to clear questions) should be marked as duplicates: that applies generally. I suspect as such there is an element of 'use your judgement' here. I think what is important is that any closing has appropriate comments, that you are clear that any dupe does really answer the question, and that the questioner is given time to address comments before a closure happens.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing to bear in mind is that having answers doesn't mean a question should not be closed. In [his answer](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/a/5678/) Percusse suggests that as the 'lead' question here has been answered that closing is not required. While there is some truth in the idea that closing is about site stats, it's also meant to be as I say not a universally negative step. It's quite possible for example for a dupe to be spotted after an answer is given: the question can still be a duplicate in those circumstances.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bottom line: I'd probably have gone for 'duplicate' here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One issue here that has been mentioned is that when there are a mix of close votes for different reason the system only marks with one reason. That's not something we can control locally, but is I always think rather odd. Perhaps one to raise on the main meta site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It undermines the whole purpose of setting, marking and completing assignments, wastes instructors' time, and is not in the best interests of any students. (It does no favours to the person cheating in the long term, and it is quite unfair if LaTeX beginners' efforts are being marked alongside the likes of egreg!) It also undermines instructors' ability to evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching and their ability to identify topics which they should revisit in light of students' difficulties.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ref: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/212411/how-to-get-default-color-of-beginblock-command.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While I realise that it is obviously very difficult to know, in many cases, whether a question is of this kind or not, I think that it would be useful to have some guidance concerning the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - 'red flags': features of questions which should cause one to pause&#xD;&#xA;   and ask for clarification, or pause and examine the asker's history&#xD;&#xA;   on the site.   (The question above is the fourth question the user&#xD;&#xA;   asked about this assignment. It seems to me that we should probably&#xD;&#xA;   have smelt a rat slightly earlier given that all the questions&#xD;&#xA;   concerned an 'assignment'.)&#xD;&#xA; - responding to the user: a comment block? What I'm thinking of&#xD;&#xA;   here is something to say when it has become clear that the user&#xD;&#xA;   is using the site illegitimately.&#xD;&#xA; - communication: how best to flag up the problem to other people so&#xD;&#xA;   that the user cannot keep asking new questions until the&#xD;&#xA;   assignment is completed by an ad hoc team from TeX SE.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Although this is the most egregious case I've seen here, it is far from being the only one. While users bear the primary responsibility for misusing the site, we are also to blame if we do not make some efforts not to allow them to do so. Obviously nothing we could do (consistent with the existence of the site) could prevent such misuse. Moreover, some things we might do to minimise it would have unacceptable costs in terms of their effects on everybody else's use of the site. But I am not at all comfortable with the way things work at present. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am particularly concerned given that we routinely answer questions which simply post an image or state a problem and include no evidence of any effort at all on the asker's part.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I should say that I very much doubt that my view will be a popular one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I should also make clear that my concern is with cases in which the use of TeX is part of what is being assessed. I am not at all concerned about people asking for help formatting their theses on the nocturnal habits of koala bears or the lives of cats in Norman keeps. (Unless, of course, they are also asking us to fill in the details of koalas' night time festivities.)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

What do I do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not despair, post-interview questions and remarks are welcome! `:)` We usually wait a couple of days, then &quot;lock&quot; the interview. We want to give our members the opportunity to read the chatroom transcript and add their own remarks or even submit questions to the interviewee. The format is working marvellously well so far. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have a team of reviewers that put every bit of the interview in the correct order, so we can easily adjust the comments. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How is the next interviewee chosen?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we think it's time to have another interview (usually twice a month), we ask our interview committee to suggest names.

The lottery closes when the judge has announced the last winner. The judge's decision is final and there shall be no discussion and/or correspondence about the outcome of the lottery.  &lt;/LEGAL STUFF&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To win the book you must guess a number in the range 1--250. The first two people that guess the right number win a copy of the book. Please note that the time of arrival in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 10 December, 2014. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as **an answer to this meta question**; **not** as a comment.

Please note that the time of arrival in TeX-SX is what counts, not the time of sending.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To give everybody a fair chance, you may submit only one number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is one exception to the previous rule. If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 10 December, 2014. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as **an answer to this meta question**; **not** as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can sign the book at your request. Please note that I won't sign by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Happy guessing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        -----------------------------------------    ----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;        |◖■◗|◖■◗|◖■◗|◖■◗|005|006|◖■◗|◖■◗|◖■◗|◖■◗|    |◖■◗|122|◖■◗|124|125|126|◖■◗|◖■◗|129|130|&#xD;&#xA;        -----------------------------------------    -----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;        |011|◖■◗|◖■◗|◖■◗|015|016|◖■◗|018|◖■◗|◖■◗|    |◖■◗|132|133|134|◖■◗|136|◖■◗|138|139|140|&#xD;&#xA;        -----------------------------------------    -----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;        |◖■◗|◖■◗|◖■◗|◖■◗|025|◖■◗|◖■◗|◖■◗|029|◖■◗|    |◖■◗|142|◖■◗|◖■◗|145|146|◖■◗|148|149|150| &#xD;&#xA;        -----------------------------------------    -----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;        |◖■◗|032|033|◖■◗|035|036|◖■◗|038|039|040|    |151|152|153|◖■◗|155|156|157|◖■◗|159|160|&#xD;&#xA;        -----------------------------------------    -----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;        |041|◖■◗|043|044|045|046|047|048|049|050|    |161|162|◖■◗|164|165|166|167|168|169|170| &#xD;&#xA;        -----------------------------------------    -----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;        |051|052|053|◖■◗|055|056|◖■◗|058|◖■◗|060|    |171|172|◖■◗|174|175|◖■◗|177|178|◖■◗|180|&#xD;&#xA;        -----------------------------------------    -----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;        |061|062|063|◖■◗|065|066|067|068|◖■◗|◖■◗|    |181|182|183|◖■◗|185|◖■◗|187|188|189|◖■◗|&#xD;&#xA;        -----------------------------------------    -----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;        |◖■◗|◖■◗|073|074|◖■◗|076|◖■◗|078|079|080|    |191|192|◖■◗|194|195|196|197|198|199|200|&#xD;&#xA;        -----------------------------------------    -----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;        |◖■◗|082|083|084|085|086|◖■◗|088|089|◖■◗|    |201|202|203|204|◖■◗|◖■◗|207|◖■◗|209|210|&#xD;&#xA;        -----------------------------------------    -----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;        |091|092|093|094|095|◖■◗|097|098|099|100|    |211|212|213|214|◖■◗|◖■◗|217|218|219|220|&#xD;&#xA;        -----------------------------------------    -----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;        |◖■◗|102|103|104|105|106|107|◖■◗|109|110|    |221|222|223|224|225|226|227|228|◖■◗|230| &#xD;&#xA;        -----------------------------------------    -----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;        |111|112|◖■◗|114|115|◖■◗|117|118|◖■◗|120|    |231|232|◖■◗|234|235|◖■◗|237|◖■◗|◖■◗|240|&#xD;&#xA;        -----------------------------------------    -----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;                            -----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;                            |◖■◗|242|◖■◗|244|◖■◗|246|◖■◗|◖■◗|249|◖■◗|&#xD;&#xA;                            -----------------------------------------&#xD;&#xA;       &#xD;&#xA;    Copy/paste card punch : |◖■◗|&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Having difficulty getting by the [trivial answer checker](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/98950) (due to including an internal site link, perhaps)?

Is it possible to capture this through some statistic or visually through graphs?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Certainly! There is a host of information available through the [SEDE](http://data.stackexchange.com). This post is meant to collate some of the discussions contained within http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1849/5764 as a showcase of the community's behaviour on an annual basis. For those interested in contributing statistics, considering adding an answer to the linked post.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please provide an answer in the form of a [SEDE](http://data.stackexchange.com) query and if not, explain in as much detail as possible the type of statistic you'd like to see. Consult the [Database schema documentation for the public data dump and SEDE](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/2677/168244) for information on the variables and content. Well-formed constructions will make its way into this post's answer section shortly after New Year.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The idea is to highlight activity of the *community* and not to isolate *individual* behaviour (although this may be the case naturally when it comes to &quot;outlier users&quot; - like those with *highest reputation*, for example). This is not an absolute rule; exclusions may apply.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;###Examples of good inquiries/statistics:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- What is the total number of badges awarded by class over time?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; This statistic attempts to see whether merit (through posts, say) and participation (through moderation, say) act similarly. Does this change over time?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Is there a better time to post a question based on community activity?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Facebook is a good example of this, where posts aired at the time when most of your friends &quot;wake up&quot; (in the morning, hopefully) receives far more attention than those posted when everyone's asleep.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;###Examples of bad inquiries/statistics:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- When will *I* receive my next `&lt;type&gt;` badge? Or, what badges will *I* receive next?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; This statistic is specific to an individual (again, exclusions may apply...) or doesn't attempt to address *community* behaviour.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- What time of day do most community members vote?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Voting is (and always will be) anonymous. One way of protecting this anonymity is by removing time-stamps from votes in the SEDE (keeping only date-stamps). As such, it's not possible to ascertain this effectively."

First and foremost, *we are not consistent at about anything*. Hence, why this is open but the other is closed is not going to solve anything. Half of the TikZ questions should have been closed but somehow didn't. The examples you give are also the same. So there is always a grappling aspect of any question. You might not like it (I also don't) but this is a social construct. Not a rule-based media. Moreover, as we discussed a lot of times earlier, the SO rules are self-conflicting so there is nothing to gain sticking to the rules that you might think appropriate. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  2. Then the obvious follow-up is that why this one didn't fit the bill. I can't talk for others but in my point of view, the article is really weak to start with. Even without downloading the extra files and checking the numbers, you can tell that it is, in many places, biased and unforgivably misinformed about TeX. So opening a discussion in the question/answer format is just going to compile a lot of answers which are reinforcing the obvious stuff about TeX. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  3. It has weird conclusions such as saving time and wasting money and that kind of nonsense that any academic can spot the logical error. This item is not about why question is closed but about an article however, in turn, I have to confess that it is being taken too seriously for such weak, and borderline unethical, conclusions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  4. Finally, even though the article is weak and erroneous, we can't argue anything against it because we don't have any counter evidence. Alan Munn already took the initiative and set up the chat room for experiment design. So that covers much more than what this question would cover had it stayed open. I would recommend that we push our efforts in that direction instead of typing long answers to the question and gaining nothing. So in that sense, the question is truly opinion-based and should not be mixed up with half-baked and in some cases fun questions you have sampled in your post. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For these, there is a certain amount of discussion which can be had and as pointed out by [percusee](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/a/5868) you can argue things are not entirely consistent. As we are talking about value judgements that is perhaps not surprising.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at the question here, there are arguments for both 'off-topic' and 'opinion-based'. I will take the two arguments separately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of topic, the PLOS ONE article is comparing TeX (LaTeX) with a word processor (Word). Thus at least in part it's already about something we don't cover: word processors. However, the bigger issue here for me is that the issue [your question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/219576/does-latex-really-perform-worse-than-word) is raises  is&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Based on this study can we conclude that Word works better than LaTeX?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's not about TeX and it's not about Word: it's about measuring productivity, specifically from the study in an academic setting but presumably more generally. That's a technical area (I'm sure there are experts on this type of measurement) but it's not what _we_ cover as a site. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the 'opinion-based' side, this is about more than 'there might be more than one answer'. (While the StackExchange model is best for questions where a single answer can be 'more correct' than any others, there is certainly some room for more nuanced situations.) Asking for a critique of a paper comparing Word and LaTeX on a site about TeX is only going to go one way, but it's hardly going to be objective. (Something like the ['grandma' question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/94889/how-can-i-explain-the-meaning-of-latex-to-my-grandma) is clearly a bit of fun, so people are likely to give them more leeway, whereas some of the promotion questions may be given more slack as they are not directly about criticising other approaches.) The entire thing seems much better suited to a threaded discussion format, which chat does better than a question but which is really better on a mailing list or on Usenet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Over all, to me the two areas together suggest that this is not a good fit for the site: TeX-sx isn't the best place for _everything_ about TeX. The same might be said of some other questions, and I'd be wary of saying 'As X is open, Y _must_ be allowed too.'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Note: While my name is currently down as closing the question, this is because I was asked to 'tidy up' the close reason from 'off-topic' to 'opinion-based' as this seemed perhaps better. I did *not* vote to close initially.]" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The first two people that guess the right number win a copy of the book.

If several contestants submit the same number, the contestant whose submission arrived first is valid. The other contestants may resubmit a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 10 December, 2014. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as **an answer to this meta question**; **not** as a comment. Comments will be ignored. Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can sign the book at your request. Please note that I won't sign by default because I know some people want to keep their books pencil and ink free.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**At the time of writing there were no winners yet.

For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - scripts packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The question must always be tagged with the magic [meta-tag:community-ads] tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Image requirements&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The image that you create must be **220 x 250 pixels**&#xD;&#xA; - Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)&#xD;&#xA; - Must be GIF or PNG&#xD;&#xA; - No animated GIFs&#xD;&#xA; - Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Score Threshold&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a **minimum score threshold** an answer must meet (currently **6**) before it will be shown on the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats [here][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/ads/display/5876" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Broadly, the warning comes about here as you've got a relative small number of questions (currently 7). Of those, two are deleted and there is one downvote on one other: that makes three 'negative events' in seven questions so raises a warning. I note that both the deleted questions were about JabRef and were clearly off-topic for us, so there's not really a chance to edit and improve them for re-opening. As such, the best you can do is make sure new questions are carefully written: with a few more with a positive score you will probably be safe from a ban. Upvoted answers may also help (I'm not 100% about this: as I say in comments, we don't actually know how the ban system algorithm in detail.)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

(See http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4150/tug-membership-names-for-2014 for last year's selection.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd like to ask people to put themselves forward. There are no restrictions on standing other than having to be a member of the TeX StackExchange site: in particular, the existing 'representatives' are very welcome to put their names forward to continue. [Note: I've called the people we put forward 'representatives', but that's mainly because I can't think of a better term. Nominees should not feel the need to represent TeX-sx other than being members of the site and therefore interested in TeX in some way!]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The model for selection of representatives is as follows. We will have a two stage process, first 'nomination' then 'election'. The first phase runs for five days, until 2100 GMT on 2015-01-12. Each person who wishes to be considered should post an answer, where they can (if they wish) say what makes them a good choice. They should then immediately delete their answer. Please don't vote on any answers during this phase: any votes cast will be ignored.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the second phase, all of the answers will be undeleted, and everyone should take a look at these answers and vote for deserving candidates: remember there are eight places available! Again, there will be five days to vote, ending 2100 GMT on 2014-01-17. At that stage, the top eight names will be forwarded to the StackExchange community staff for notification to TUG.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the event of a tie in number of votes, the mod team will decide which of the tied members are put forward to StackExchange. The mod team may also include additional names if at the end of the voting process there are fewer than eight nominees with positive scores." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

We will have a two stage process, first 'nomination' then 'election'. The first phase runs for five days, until 2100 GMT on 2015-01-12. Each person who wishes to be considered should post an answer, where they can (if they wish) say what makes them a good choice. They should then immediately delete their answer. Please don't vote on any answers during this phase: any votes cast will be ignored.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the second phase, all of the answers will be undeleted, and everyone should take a look at these answers and vote for deserving candidates: remember there are eight places available! Again, there will be five days to vote, ending 2100 GMT on 2014-01-17. At that stage, the top eight names will be forwarded to the StackExchange community staff for notification to TUG.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the event of a tie in number of votes, the mod team will decide which of the tied members are put forward to StackExchange. The mod team may also include additional names if at the end of the voting process there are fewer than eight nominees with positive scores.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Everyone is welcome to vote for as many or as few candidates as they wish.

The OP has asked a good question, he gave quite a few examples for his assumption (»LaTeX is complicated«). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could start an answer with a reminder of some LaTeX packages and come to the obvious conclusion that things are hard to understand because TeX is a complex beast and even LaTeX does not work without some complex approaches. Then you could compare to another programming language and then to using indesign. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To answer the question why things are so complicated you need to investigate whether complexity hints at a severe error in the design of TeX or because the task was demanding a complex answer. You could consult the books and interviews of D. Knuth and L. Lamport to study their opinion. You'd e.g. find an interview with L. Lamport where he says, he missed the opportunity to convince Knuth to change some more things in the next version of TeX to the benefit of LaTeX. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the background of such considerations I gave a very short answer and tried to generalise: Too less apprecation for the users demands is the most serious obstacle to many open source projects.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, let's ponder in which subject of study you could write such a thesis. Obviously such a thesis would need the skills of a IT guy (or girl) _and_ some skills you aquire in the humanities. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here in tex.sx the engineers and IT people are the majority. To many of them, it seems, everything that can not be answered with an MWE, is oppinion based.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Now saying *well it can be highly voted but still opinion-based* is one thing, but a hundred vote is not something that five users would decide (order of magnitude!!). Especially with this stupid review system. I do think they are opinion-based but at the same time I won't bother if they are left open. Plus I think these are good publicity for the site.

Because then we have a chance to modify some of the misconceptions that they might have been carrying over since the last decade. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Besides I think this is somewhat your personal dislike in disguise. I don't see the point why these are bothering you since if you compare with the number of regular questions that are asked in the same time frame, these are not even high enough to be called negligible. I think you are overreacting. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a much bigger problem that 10-15 users keep closing every mildly mis-asked question.

But it was after the 'nomination' phase and I hesitated to put my name on the list afterwards. After [Christian Hupfer](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/31729/christian-hupfer) also asked me to put my name on this list, I do it now quite lately before the door closes. I apologize for rushing in 	unpunctual.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've been using LaTeX since 25 years now. Since that time many software tools and languages were invented. More than once I thought *'I should dig into this or that new stuff when I have time'*. But then the cool new stuff was *outdated* before I found time to study it. The funny thing is that TeX/LaTeX still is present quite fresh and is not replaced by the next cool thing :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I started using LaTeX to write my PhD thesis. The last years, my connections with LaTeX have become much stronger. Meanwhile, I use it for nearly everything :-) All written material I use as a professor for Mathematics is done in LaTeX and I do my very best to evangelize my colleages in this direction ;-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm the author of an [introduction book for LaTeX](https://www.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/buch.html?&amp;titel=latex) and of some packages; [tcolorbox](http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tcolorbox) is the most time-killing one. I give lectures in LaTeX for my students and I try to be helpful at TeX.SX. Since I joined TeX.SX, I also learned more from all the other helpful members since in many years before. 2015 will be a very LaTeX-centric year for me since I have plans for a new package.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, I would feel very pleased and honoured to be a member of the TUG community. At least, I want to fill up this list: StackExchange should not have the impression that there is not enough interest on a corporate membership - there surely is.&#xD;&#xA; " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

With that come eight individual memberships that can be given out to members of the community. The time has come to select our representatives for 2015. (See http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4150/tug-membership-names-for-2014 for last year's selection.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd like to ask people to put themselves forward. There are no restrictions on standing other than having to be a member of the TeX StackExchange site: in particular, the existing 'representatives' are very welcome to put their names forward to continue. [Note: I've called the people we put forward 'representatives', but that's mainly because I can't think of a better term. Nominees should not feel the need to represent TeX-sx other than being members of the site and therefore interested in TeX in some way!]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The model for selection of representatives is as follows. We will have a two stage process, first 'nomination' then 'election'. The first phase runs for five days, until 2100 GMT on 2015-01-12. Each person who wishes to be considered should post an answer, where they can (if they wish) say what makes them a good choice. They should then immediately delete their answer. Please don't vote on any answers during this phase: any votes cast will be ignored.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the second phase, all of the answers will be undeleted, and everyone should take a look at these answers and vote for deserving candidates: remember there are eight places available! Again, there will be five days to vote, ending 2100 GMT on 2015-01-17. At that stage, the top eight names will be forwarded to the StackExchange community staff for notification to TUG.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the event of a tie in number of votes, the mod team will decide which of the tied members are put forward to StackExchange. The mod team may also include additional names if at the end of the voting process there are fewer than eight nominees with positive scores.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Everyone is welcome to vote for as many or as few candidates as they wish. Remember that there are a total of eight places available to be selected. New nominations can be added during the voting phase." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But it was after the 'nomination' phase and I hesitated to put my name on the list afterwards. After [Christian Hupfer](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/31729/christian-hupfer) also asked me to put my name on this list, I do it now quite lately before the door closes. I apologize for rushing in 	unpunctual.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've been using LaTeX since 25 years now. Since that time many software tools and languages were invented. More than once I thought *'I should dig into this or that new stuff when I have time'*. But then the cool new stuff was *outdated* before I found time to study it. The funny thing is that TeX/LaTeX still is present quite fresh and is not replaced by the next cool thing :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I started using LaTeX to write my PhD thesis. The last years, my connections with LaTeX have become much stronger. Meanwhile, I use it for nearly everything :-) All written material I use as a professor for Mathematics is done in LaTeX and I do my very best to evangelize my colleages in this direction ;-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm the author of an [introduction book for LaTeX](https://www.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/buch.html?&amp;titel=latex) and of some packages; [tcolorbox](http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tcolorbox) is the most time-killing one. I give lectures in LaTeX for my students and I try to be helpful at TeX.SX. Since I joined TeX.SX, I also learned more from all the other helpful members since in many years before. 2015 will be a very LaTeX-centric year for me since I have plans for a new package.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, I would feel very pleased and honoured to be a member of the TUG community. At least, I want to fill up this list: StackExchange should not have the impression that there is not enough interest on a corporate membership - there surely is.&#xD;&#xA; " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

At first glance, I like it, but I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the badge would be. All of the badges we've introduced recently have been intended to send a message. Mostly, those messages are along the lines of encouraging some kind of positive behavior that we want to see more of.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess you could argue that this promotes people continuing to work on their problems, not simply giving up after offering a bounty. Or perhaps a consolation prize for bounties that didn't attract great responses, without being so broad that people would offer meaningless bounties just for a badge? Neither of those is particularly convincing to me, but I'd be happy to listen to arguments (especially if I missed the point you were going for).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For what it's worth, I found roughly 20 posts on this site that could qualify for this badge, if it existed today. I say &quot;roughly&quot; because I took some shortcuts when searching, like ignoring the &quot;at the end of the bounty period&quot; criterion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(What's that? Because cross-referencing against the vote timeline would have been a lot harder, that's why.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Twenty is _juuuuust_ few enough that I don't mind linking them all for reference:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/31499  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/212198  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/10558  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/86114  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/136609  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/217797  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/12806  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/14095  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/150088  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/185419  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/87155  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/97429  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/29049  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/216206  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/14217  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/27588  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/119272  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/38001  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/151108  &#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/124291" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The OP has asked a good question, he gave quite a few examples for his assumption (»LaTeX is complicated«). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You could start an answer with a reminder of some LaTeX packages and come to the obvious conclusion that things are hard to understand because TeX is a complex beast and even LaTeX does not work without some complex approaches. Then you could compare to another programming language and then to using indesign. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To answer the question why things are so complicated you need to investigate whether complexity hints at a severe error in the design of TeX or because the task was demanding a complex answer. You could consult the books and interviews of D. Knuth and L. Lamport to study their opinion. You'd e.g. find an interview with L. Lamport where he says, he missed the opportunity to convince Knuth to change some more things in the next version of TeX to the benefit of LaTeX. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the background of such considerations I gave a very short answer and tried to generalise: Too little apprecation for the users' demands is the most serious obstacle to many open source projects.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, let's ponder in which subject of study you could write such a thesis. Obviously such a thesis would need the skills of a IT guy (or girl) _and_ some skills you acquire in the humanities. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here in tex.sx the engineers and IT people are the majority. To many of them, it seems, everything that can not be answered with an MWE is opinion based.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There are also some FAQs (like the famous and repeatable asked how-to-place-my-figure-here question) which need to be linked to the appropriate existing question. Sometimes I have issues finding the related question quickly even if I already linked to it a couple of times before.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I thought it would be good to have a collection of such often references questions sorted after topic in a meta post similar to our create [Text building blocks](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/430).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions should be listed after topic. Every topic as CW answer to this post.&#xD;&#xA;Please use the following format:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ## Topic Headline at Start of Answer Post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * [question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;) [2 spaces] [linebreak]&#xD;&#xA;     ``[question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;)``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This way the question is provided as link (for quick access from this page) as well as markdown code suitable for comments (and as in-line link in a chat message). The URL can be received by using the `link` link below a question. There is also an [stackapps app](http://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](http://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format. The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`. The first order headlines are a little to large IMHO.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However, I don't think that question asking for opinion-based answers should receive these.

These answers are much better than the question itself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, the other answers are simply chatty. They _do not attempt_ to address the issues specified in the question (as e.g. David, percusse or Henri Minke do), nor to give any general background (as Brent does). They are at best comments saying &quot;me too&quot; or &quot;I agree, TeX is bad&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason why I personally didn't vote to delete the answers by Keks Dose and by Arne was, that I wasn't really sure what's gonna happen, I saw space for improvement there, so I didn't want to delete them (and whence disallow the authors to improve them). Then, the close-and-reopen ping-pong started and I concluded that I'm not gonna bother myself anymore with it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(I hope my post here makes at least some sense.

It's very easy to ask a question (good or bad), but it's not always easy to write a good answer. The SE reputation system subjectively supports this approach by awarding only +5 reputation for an upvote to a question, but +10 for an upvote to an answer. Moreover, question can be downvoted without loss of reputation to the voter. Perhaps the motivation here is that the answer(s) have more value than the question. Of course, this is not a universal acceptance, since we have some good questions on this site, but that should be a consideration.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Good](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask) [questions](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/18584/168244) require a combination of things, including (but not limited to)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. a [good title](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/10647/168244); &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. a show-of-effort that possibly [reproduces the problem](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764); &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. suggested attempts at fixing it (if possible);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. images showing the expected output (if possible); and&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. a consideration for the community and future visitors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are my motivations behind the above:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The title is important, as it draws the first attention from visitors. Don't use something like &quot;ToC problem&quot; or &quot;Help needed please&quot; or anything that doesn't provide a *succinct* description of the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; If you don't have a good title, it might not show up as expected in search, and users might not even click on the post when they see it in search results. It's like having a house without a proper address associated with; you won't get many visitors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. When answering a question I don't want to recreate the wheel from scratch. I don't want to copy a code-snippet and spend even 5 minutes trying to wrap it into something that is compilable. I really don't and it's not necessary. That is something that the OP should do, because for them it is super-easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Similar to walking into a big room full of clutter with a lonely light in the middle. Invariably, while I'm walking towards the light to understand what's going on, I'm *unnecessarily* tripping on other things inside the room. Providing the community with a well-lit room makes the problem so much easier to absorb. Copy-and-paste-and-compile and tadaa. Done. To me that shows that the OP took the time to present the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Surely not everyone enjoys fixing things, and would much rather just scream &quot;Fix it for me.&quot; That's okay and [it can become a nuisance](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/172758/168244) to request this with every post. However, if you show an attempt to fix it, it also highlights what your train-of-thought is, which could benefit from some explanation in an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. An image shows me a 1,000 words without typing it. Even if you create something in MS Word/LibreOffice (because of ease-of-use, say), then it's better than 5 paragraphs of textual positioning and fine-tuning. It makes the consumption of information just so much more fluent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. Even though you may have a problem that needs fixing *right this very minute*, your post forms part of a community of knowledge. So, consider that when you ask a question, and incorporate all of the above suggestions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &lt;sub&gt;Previously questions that were so specific and/or didn't show much community traction in terms of usefulness, may have been  closed as &quot;Too localized&quot;.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Voting is very subjective and should therefore not be considered too personally. As a consequence, people's feeling towards reputation also vary considerably. Some don't care for it, while others obsess over it. For some, it may be&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ...[all] about the points...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;but for others it's not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Voters could be more prone to voting for certain people rather than the type of post. Sometimes you want to vote without reading the post (question or answer), but because of a previous record from that specific user.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I occasionally use a very literal interpretation of the voting buttons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Upvote: This [post] shows research effort; is useful and clear&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Downvote: This [post] does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If any of these motivations are not met adequately, then I might abstain from voting and consider my contribution neutral (even if I answered). Perhaps I don't understand the field being investigated, so it doesn't benefit from either up- or downvoting." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Sometimes I run across an answer which is very comprehensive and well written, even though I don't actually care about the problem it was written to solve. I often upvote those answers, but that doesn't make the question relevant to me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Besides, I don't upvote questions _just_ for being relevant. A question worthy of an upvote, as far as I'm concerned, generally has to be reasonably well written and demonstrate prior effort on the asker's part to solve the problem. Granted, most of the time when a question actually helps me solve a problem I will upvote it, but if the question is particularly terrible I'll just abstain because it seems to be doing the site a disservice to upvote such questions."

That means that all five close-voters elected to vote-to-close for the same post. The title of the linked post makes sense now, as they both want &quot;figures side-by-side&quot;. However, this suggested link was [later changed](http://tex.stackexchange.com/revisions/c2acb52d-dd6d-4404-92e3-a773c5caf216/view-source) (almost 3 years after the original closure) to point to [the duplicate you cite](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/111496/5764). The reason here seems intuitive, since the former itself was closed as a duplicate of the latter. It's not always logical to say that if A should be closed as a duplicate of B and that B should be closed of a duplicate of C, that A might just as well be closed as a duplicate of C. It works sometimes, but not always, since the (human) logic and discussion may not relate to one another.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keep in mind that, at the time the decision was made, it sounded reasonable. And, things change over time. So, if you feel different about this, cast a vote to re-open, open a discussion in [chat](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41/tex-latex-and-friends) with regular visitors, or flag it for moderator attention."

What do I do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not despair, post-interview questions and remarks are welcome! `:)` We usually wait a couple of days, then &quot;lock&quot; the interview. We want to give our members the opportunity to read the chatroom transcript and add their own remarks or even submit questions to the interviewee. The format is working marvellously well so far. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have a team of reviewers that put every bit of the interview in the correct order, so we can easily adjust the comments. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How is the next interviewee chosen?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we think it's time to have another interview (usually twice a month), we ask our interview committee to suggest names.

Get familiar with a medium of taking a (partial) screen grab. There are a number of options out there, including&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - &lt;kbd&gt;PrtSc&lt;/kbd&gt; or &lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;PrtSc&lt;/kbd&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; The former grabs the entire window into the Clipboard, while the latter only grabs the active window. It works in a pinch, but no-one is interested in seeing the menu-items of *your* favourite editor/viewer when they're only interested in seeing the output.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [Windows Snipping Tool](http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows7/products/features/snipping-tool) provides a focussed copy-and-paste of the screen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - My preferred method, since it allows for post-capture editing, is [FSCapture](http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=775)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. As browser, use [Google Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html) since it allows you to copy-and-paste a captured image when using the &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;G&lt;/kbd&gt; interface.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The above approach works analogous to a regular copy-and-paste, but for images."

I have learnt a lot and it has been fun. But I only joined because somebody reported that people could not typeset Polish with a font support package I'd published on CTAN, and I needed to know if the fonts themselves provided sufficient resources for Polish in order to determine whether or not an update would actually solve the problem. So it was all something of an accident, I really don't know what I'm doing, and I think there are many much more deserving candidates.

I use Windows 7, TeX Live, and TeXnicCenter. I have [ImageMagick][1] installed and on the system path.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I make a copy of each TeXnicCenter build profile I commonly use and rename it to `pdflatex (TeX.SX)` or similar. To each of the profiles, I add a post-processor step called &quot;Create Image&quot;:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will call ImageMagick's `convert` program at the end of each compilation, creating a `.png` of the output PDF with a resolution of 300 ppi. If the output has multiple pages, an image for each page is automatically created. `convert` can also produce animated `.gif`s, but I do these manually since I don't use them frequently.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have one TeXnicCenter &quot;project&quot; for TeX.SX testing. This is set up to use my special build profiles (I just have to select a different workflow every once in a while, but most of the time it's `pdflatex`). This project is nearly always open on my computer, ready to go for rapid-fire testing/answering. :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, I can copy an MWE, paste it in at the top of my file, and press F7 to compile. Once I have compiled a final result, I have a high-res PNG sitting in my working folder, ready to upload if necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I use the `standalone` class wherever possible, to avoid the need for manual cropping. But if I need to crop manually, I just use the basic Windows Paint program because it's the fastest to open and works fine for basic cropping.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When I have new code to test, it gets pasted at the top of the file, so my last _n_ answers/experiments are still in the `.tex` file, ready to be resurrected if necessary. Every month or so I clean house, removing all the accumulated code.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.imagemagick.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/UhtcG.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There are also some FAQs (like the famous and repeatable asked how-to-place-my-figure-here question) which need to be linked to the appropriate existing question. Sometimes I have issues finding the related question quickly even if I already linked to it a couple of times before.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I thought it would be good to have a collection of such often references questions sorted after topic in a meta post similar to our create [Text building blocks](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/430).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions should be listed after topic. Every topic as CW answer to this post.&#xD;&#xA;Please use the following format:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ## Topic Headline at Start of Answer Post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * [question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;) [2 spaces] [linebreak]&#xD;&#xA;     ``[question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;)``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This way the question is provided as link (for quick access from this page) as well as markdown code suitable for comments (and as in-line link in a chat message). The URL can be received by using the `link` link below a question. There is also an [stackapps app](http://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](http://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format. The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`. The first order headlines are a little to large IMHO.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Great habit, but usually not necessary in a MWE – **get rid of them**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Loading Packages&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{a4wide}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{amsmath, amsthm, amssymb}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{url}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[algoruled,vlined]{algorithm2e}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[ngerman, american]{babel}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{booktabs}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{units}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{makeidx}&#xD;&#xA;      \makeindex  &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{color}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{colortbl}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{epstopdf}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{rotating}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    % Assuming your problem is related e.g. to the rotation of a figure, you might need:&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{rotating}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You’ve developed an awesome template with lots of helpful packages? Does your problem still show up if you remove some or even most of them? Then **get rid** of those that **aren’t necessary for reproducing the problem**. (If you should later find out that another package is complicating the situation, you can always ask another question or edit the existing question.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In most cases, even packages like `inputenc` or `fontenc` are not necessary in MWEs, even though they are essential for many non-English documents in “real” documents.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Images&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{graphs/dataset17b.pdf}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[demo]{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    ....&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{graphs/dataset17b.pdf}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{mwe} % just for dummy images&#xD;&#xA;    ....&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{example-image}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your problem includes **an image**? Does your problem show up with any image? Then use the **option `demo`** for the package `graphicx` – this way, other users who don’t have your image file won’t get an error message because of that. If you prefer an actual image that you can rotate, stretch, etc., use the **[`mwe`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/mwe) package**, which provides a number of dummy images, named e.g. `example-image`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Text&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    In \cite{cite:0}, it is shown that $\Delta \subset {U_{\mathcal{{D}}}}$. Hence &#xD;&#xA;    Y. Q. Qian's characterization of conditionally uncountable elements was a &#xD;&#xA;    milestone in constructive algebra. Now it has long been known that there exists &#xD;&#xA;    an almost everywhere Clifford right-canonically pseudo-integrable, Clairaut &#xD;&#xA;    subset \cite{cite:0}. The groundbreaking work of J. Davis on isomorphisms was a &#xD;&#xA;    major advance. In future work, we plan to address questions of uniqueness as &#xD;&#xA;    well as degeneracy. Thus in \cite{cite:0}, the main result was the &#xD;&#xA;    classification of meromorphic, completely left-invariant systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{lipsum} % just for dummy text&#xD;&#xA;    ...&#xD;&#xA;    \lipsum[1-3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Foo bar baz.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need a **few paragraphs of text** to demonstrate your problem? Use a package that produces **dummy text**. Popular choices are [`lipsum`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/lipsum) (plain paragraphs) and [`blindtext`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/blindtext) (can produce entire documents with section titles, lists, and formulae).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need just a **tiny amount of text**? Then keep it maximally simple; avoid formulae, italics, tables – anything that’s not essential to the problem. Popular choices for dummy words are `foo`, `bar`, and `baz`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Bibliography Files&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;      @book{Knu86,&#xD;&#xA;        author = {Knuth, Donald E.},&#xD;&#xA;        year = {1986},&#xD;&#xA;        title = {The \TeX book},&#xD;&#xA;      }&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents*}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \bibliography{\jobname} % if you’re using BibTeX&#xD;&#xA;    \addbibresource{\jobname.bib} % if you’re using biblatex&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need a **.bib file** to reproduce your problem? Use a maximally simple entry embedded in a **`filecontents` environment** in the preamble. During the compilation, this will create a .bib file in the same directory as the `.tex` file, so users compiling your code only need to save one file by themselves.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another option for `biblatex` would be to use the file [`biblatex-examples.bib`][1], which should be installed with `biblatex` by default. You can find it in `bibtex/bib/biblatex/`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Data&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### －－ Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Never* include data as an image.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Number of points    Values&#xD;&#xA;    10                   100&#xD;&#xA;    20                   400&#xD;&#xA;    30                  1200&#xD;&#xA;    40                  2345&#xD;&#xA;    etc...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents*}{data.txt}&#xD;&#xA;    Number of points, Values&#xD;&#xA;    10, 100&#xD;&#xA;    20, 400&#xD;&#xA;    30, 1200&#xD;&#xA;    40, 2345&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents*}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Including the data as part of the MWE makes the example portable as well. Of course, the input may differ depending on what package you use to manage the data (some require CSV, some don't).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Formatting your code&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Formatting of code](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/formatting) is done using Markdown. See the relevant FAQ http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1192. There also exists some syntax-highlighting, a discussion of which can be following at http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/184108.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With the above in mind, don't post your code in comments, since [comments only support a limited amount of Markdown](http://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help#comment-formatting).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Posting a Picture of Your Output&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It’s often helpful to see what your current, faulty output looks like.

You can have a look at [our starter guide](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) to familiarize yourself further with our format.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Minimal examples ###&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; - ``[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) Please help us to help you and add a [minimal working example (MWE)](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/228) that illustrates your problem. It will be much easier for us to reproduce your situation and find out what the issue is when we see compilable code, starting with `\documentclass{...}` and ending with `\end{document}`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - In case the OP posted some code that isn't an MWE:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ``[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) Please make your code compilable (if possible), or at least complete it with `\documentclass{...}`, the required `\usepackage`'s, `\begin{document}`, and `\end{document}`. That may seem tedious to you, but think of the extra work it represents for TeX.SX users willing to give you a hand. Help them help you: remove that one hurdle between you and a solution to your problem.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - In case the OP posted a MWE that's not minimal:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ``Thank you for posting a working example! At the same time, much of your code does not seem to be relevant to the question you're asking here. Please limit the example to only the code required for your issue to appear. You can have a look at [this guide for how to prune your code](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/a/3225) for this purpose.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - More emphasis on why MWE should be a complete example&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  ``Unlike any other programming languages, it makes a lot of difference if you change the preamble of your document in terms of the output, such as clashing packages or page settings changed by some detail in the code and so on. That's why we need to have a complete example together with the relevant parts of your preamble included. Otherwise we might not be able to reproduce your problem.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Multiple, unrelated questions in one ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - `[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) You seem to be asking two [or more] unrelated questions, here. On TeX.SX, we try to keep unrelated questions on separate pages. If you have multiple questions that are unrelated to one another, you should ask each in a separate TeX.SX &quot;question&quot;. You'll stand a better chance of getting a satisfactory answer to each of your questions.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Non-answers ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Follow-up questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) Your question won't be seen by many people here, so it would be best to repost it as a fresh question.

Please use the &quot;[Ask Question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ask)&quot; link for your new question; there you can link to this question to provide the background.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- “Thank you” by user (≠ OP) rep &lt; 15:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `Instead of posting a “Thank you” as an additional answer, you should give feedback clicking the 'up' arrow you can see above each answer's score. Once you’ve gathered 15 reputation points on this site, you’ll be able to [upvote answers](http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/vote-up) to contribute to this score.

We want to keep the answer space reserved for actual answers, so this non-answer will be removed from public view soon.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Additional information:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `Instead of “answering” your own question, you should comment on [user]'s answer or edit the original question to include the additional information.`&lt;br&gt;And optionally: `(You may have to register at tex.sx in order to do so.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Answer edited into question ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `We'd like to keep answers separate from questions, so you should write a separate answer instead of editing your answer into the question.

Questions that look like &quot;Please do this complicated thing for me&quot; tend to get closed because they are either &quot;off topic&quot;, &quot;too broad&quot;, or &quot;unclear&quot;. Please try to make your question clear and simple by giving a [minimal working example (MWE)](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/228): you'll stand a greater chance of getting help.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Alternatively _(too long to add the `Welcome to TeX.SX!` block, but this could be posted before as separate comment)_:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  ``Your question leaves all the effort to our community, even typing the essentials of a TeX document such as `\documentclass{}...\begin{document}` etc. As it is, most of our users will be very reluctant to touch your question, and you are left to the mercy of our procrastination team who are very few in number and very picky about selecting questions. You can improve your question by adding a [minimal working example (MWE)](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/228) that more users can copy/paste onto their systems to work on. If no hero takes the challenge we might have to close your question.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Minimal effort / homework questions ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ``Hi [user] and [welcome to TeX.SX](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436). In its current form, your question might not receive many answers. Please take a look at the [How to Ask](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/how-to-ask)-page and try to improve your question according to the guidance found there.

Questions about how to draw specific graphics that just post an image of the desired result are really not reasonable questions to ask on the site. Please post a minimal compilable document showing that you've tried to produce the image and then people will be happy to help you with any specific problems you may have.  See [minimal working example (MWE)](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/228) for what needs to go into such a document.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Marking code ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Code blocks:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces, they'll be [marked as a code sample](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1192). You can also highlight the code and click the &quot;code&quot; button (with &quot;{}&quot; on it).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Inline code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  ```[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) A tip: You can use backticks `\`` to [mark your inline code](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/863) as I did in my edit.```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Code blocks *and* inline code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  ```[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) A tip: If you [indent lines by 4 spaces](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1192) or [enclose words in backticks `\``](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/863), they'll be marked as code, as can be seen in my edit. You can also highlight the code and click the &quot;code&quot; button (with &quot;{}&quot; on it).```&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Intro / closing ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) You don't have to sign with your name since [it automatically appears in the lower right corner](http://tex.stackexchange.com/faq#signatures) of your post.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Alternatively:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) It's not necessary to sign your questions (as [there is already a box with your username below it](http://tex.stackexchange.com/faq#signatures)) or to begin them with a greeting.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Alternatively:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) Usually, we don't put a greeting or a “thank you” in our posts. While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. [Accepting and upvoting answers is the preferred way here](http://tex.stackexchange.com/about) to say “thank you” to users who helped you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  And optionally for all:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `A suggestion: Do us a favour and change your username to something more telling than &quot;user1234&quot;.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Merging accounts ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `It looks like you've got two separate accounts, which means you cannot edit your original post or leave comments. The StackExchange staff can [merge them together for you](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/user-merge).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Possible duplicates ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See discussion in [Closing questions as exact duplications: 'best practice'](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2770) for notes on these messages!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- For new(ish) users whose question looks like it might get closed as a duplicate:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.SX!](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) This question is very similar to [link]. Please take a look at it as the information there might help you. If so, that's great, and we'll probably close this question as a duplicate just to keep the place tidy and to help people find answers quickly. If not, please edit your question here to explain why so that people can better focus their attention to help you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- On casting first dupe vote on a question where the OP has not said 'Oh yes, it's a dupe':&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `I've voted to close this as a duplicate because currently, the question looks very similar to [link]. Note that closing a question is not final. If you feel that this question is not a duplicate you can edit it to add more information, in which case it may be reopened.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### For questions that are likely to be closed ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `If your question is closed and you still need help, don't worry, [here you'll find help on what to do next](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1015).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Alternatively, for already closed questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `If the linked question doesn't solve your problem, please edit your question to explain why and we'll reopen it. Closing as a duplicate is just a way of ensuring that people who find this question easily find the other one.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- MathJax questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `While [tag:MathJax] uses LaTeX syntax, it uses Javascript and HTML's DOM model rather than TeX technology, making it mostly off topic for this site. You might try instead searching among the [questions tagged with mathjax on StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mathjax), or in the official [mathjax-users](https://groups.google.com/d/forum/mathjax-users) Google group.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Please ‘accept’ an answer below ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One should [wait a day](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/209) before leaving this comment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `Since you have some responses below that seem to answer your question, please consider marking one of them as ‘Accepted’ by clicking on the tickmark below their vote count (see [How do you accept an answer?](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1852)). This shows which answer helped you most, and it assigns reputation points to the author of the answer (and to you!). It's part of [this site's idea to identify good questions and answers through upvotes and acceptance of answers](http://tex.stackexchange.com/about).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that in case of a self-answer [one _has_ to wait 48 hours (after the question was posted) before accepting](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/01/accept-your-own-answers/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How to look up a symbol ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `Have a look at [“How to look up a symbol?”](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14) for ideas how you can easily find a particular symbol.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Do not use Debian packages (For the future, as for now it has TL 2012) ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ``Debian (except unstable) and Ubuntu still contain TeX Live 2012. Many packages have been significantly improved since then. I would recommend installing TeX Live directly from [TUG](http://tug.org/texlive/) instead of using the Debian packages. That way you can always get current package versions by running `sudo tlmgr update --all`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Upload images only over the official interface ###&#xD;&#xA;- ``Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official Stack Exchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: Ctrl+G). This ensures that all images will always be accessible and won't expire.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ``As new user without image posting privileges simply include the image as normal and remove the `!` in front of it to turn it into a link. A moderator or another user with edit privileges can then reinsert the `!` to turn it into an image again.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Reminder for being clement ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `Please don't downvote below a score of -1, even if the question in its current form needs some improvement. A score of -1 is enough to show that the question needs work, anything below that is of no use. Also, if you downvote or vote to close, please leave a comment explaining why you did so, but wait at least 24 hours after asking the OP for improvements to the question before voting to close.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Optional addition: `Don't forget, it's a new user!`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `This should not have been closed. Please wait at least 24 hours after asking the OP for improvements to the question before voting to close. Also, if you downvote, please don't forget to revert the vote after the question is improved.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Enhanced version:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `This should not have been closed: The question has been improved significantly from its first version. Please wait at least 24 hours after asking the OP for improvements to the question before voting to close. Also, if you downvote, please don't forget to revert the vote after the question is improved.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Packages for creating MWEs ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `(The [lipsum](http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `(The [blindtext](http://ctan.org/pkg/blindtext) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `(The [kantlipsum](http://ctan.org/pkg/kantlipsum) package is only used to add some dummy text to the example.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `(The filecontents environment is only used to include some external files directly into the example, so that it compiles. It is not necessary for the solution.)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## For moderators ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `Just a note to confirm _X_'s comment, this ought to be reposted as a question for you to get the best chance of it being answered.

The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - scripts packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The question must always be tagged with the magic [meta-tag:community-ads] tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Image requirements&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The image that you create must be **220 x 250 pixels** (or **440 x 500 pixels** [for high-resolution displays][2])&#xD;&#xA; - Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)&#xD;&#xA; - Must be GIF or PNG&#xD;&#xA; - No animated GIFs&#xD;&#xA; - Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Score Threshold&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a **minimum score threshold** an answer must meet (currently **6**) before it will be shown on the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats [here][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/ads/display/5876&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/247063/188148&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/ads/display/5876" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Downinvoting also helps but does not provide the additional information that a flag does. The StackExchange back-end picks up spam flags in particularly and will auto-block users after a threshold number of flags has been raised.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that even if a post is flagged very quickly by multiple people and thus auto-removed, this never reverses the fact that the something has happened. Thus a spam answer on a question will always bump the question up to the top of the front page. If the spam user gets destroyed (either by mod action or by the back-end) then this 'promotion' ends up being marked as dupe to the 'Community' user rather than a real person.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As TeX-sx is relatively small compared with the main site, there is something of a time lag between a spam post appearing and being removed. On the main site a question will get removed within a few minutes by user votes, whereas depending on the time of day it can take longer for us. If you feel the response to these things needs to be more rapid then you should raise the possibility of a moderator election: moderator votes are binding but of course depend on the number and location of moderators (all currently based in Europe)."

If so, that's great, and we'll probably close this question as a duplicate just to keep the place tidy and to help people find answers quickly. If not, please edit your question here to explain why so that people can better focus their attention to help you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- On casting first dupe vote on a question where the OP has not said 'Oh yes, it's a dupe':&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `I've voted to close this as a duplicate because currently, the question looks very similar to [link]. Note that closing a question is not final. If you feel that this question is not a duplicate you can edit it to add more information, in which case it may be reopened.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### For questions that are likely to be closed ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `If your question is closed and you still need help, don't worry, [here you'll find help on what to do next](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1015).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Alternatively, for already closed questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `If the linked question doesn't solve your problem, please edit your question to explain why and we'll reopen it.

This shows which answer helped you most, and it assigns reputation points to the author of the answer (and to you!).

Many packages have been significantly improved since then. I would recommend installing TeX Live directly from [TUG](http://tug.org/texlive/) instead of using the Debian packages. That way you can always get current package versions by running `sudo tlmgr update --all`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Upload images only over the official interface ###&#xD;&#xA;- ``Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official Stack Exchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: Ctrl+G). This ensures that all images will always be accessible and won't expire.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ``As new user without image posting privileges simply include the image as normal and remove the `!` in front of it to turn it into a link. A moderator or another user with edit privileges can then reinsert the `!` to turn it into an image again.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Reminder for being clement ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `Please don't downvote below a score of -1, even if the question in its current form needs some improvement. A score of -1 is enough to show that the question needs work, anything below that is of no use. Also, if you downvote or vote to close, please leave a comment explaining why you did so, but wait at least 24 hours after asking the OP for improvements to the question before voting to close.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Optional addition: `Don't forget, it's a new user!`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `This should not have been closed.

Somebody who has a new question just needs to drag'n'drop their latex folder onto the question, and it compiles automatically (if it does), provides a stacktrace (however useless), and provides the full output at a finger click. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;New questions would always have some (at least) partially executable code, not just single lines of potential issues, without no knowledge which packages have been loaded. If the questioning party uses cloud based software, an API could provide integration, and it would make TeX.se more accessible. Just remember the number of questions which were impossible to answer without a long discussion as the person didn't mention they were loading `hyperref` first. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You would no longer need to copy code to your local machine, no more need to make sure you have the same versions installed just to reproduce the problem - instead you could work with the exact same version in the browser, inspect their sources, all at your fingertips. No more grep-ing for defs. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course there are technical challenges that need to be resolved, but in a day and age where most computations happen in a cloud far away where software like sharelatex supports automatic compilation form git repositories already, this cannot be too far away. Of course it will be a challenge, but it will make LaTeX more accessible for future generations and ensure that TeX.se will lead the way!" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But things have changed since then. Our recent residents are getting really hostile more frequently. There is no other way of putting it. Especially in the chat room I'm witnessing a lot of *ah, look at this idiot* type of comments on questions and especially drawing attention to a flaming commentary to show off how right they are. And I am actually waiting for the 100th monkey&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; to pick up this nasty behavior and change the color of the spirit here which is happening for some time now. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Maybe we should remind ourselves that this is only TeX we are dealing with. An obscure typesetting system for mostly academic purposes, not a cure for cancer. It is fun and beautiful nothing else. So non-TeX people have all the rights not knowing it. And it looks ridiculous and funny when users occasionally come to this site to ask something and see this small print popping under questions with serious attitude telling to do *yada yada yada*. There is a difference between letting someone know about the style and registering them to your own club.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't find this pretentious *oh let's teach him how to fish* attitude comfortable. Because if you really want to teach (I don't know where this self-confidence comes from too) you try to be nice, you don't prove how correct you are. If there is a duplicate close it. If there is none let them be. We have more than enough means to deal with unanswered questions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Housekeeping does not equate to repelling boring questions.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There will always be boring questions. But of course if you feel like TeX-SX is your daily dosage of SuDoKu and you don't like your fun being spoiled by users who are not supplying enough fun, then you get grumpy and belittle questions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Being an old user or hi-rep doesn't give anyone the right to be the discipline police. Especially some users are quite annoying to be the first one to engage with some new users, piss them off right off the bat and move to the next question where they can fix lacking manners of another user with a hearty Welcome to TeX-SX and then following with **here are the ways you fail: code blocks, thank yous, MWEs, usernames**.

I feel exploited by such questions. I want to see in questions at least an indication that the asker is aware that they address persons with a free will to ignore the question and not some slaves or machines bound to answer.

The table in the center could import a tabular environment into the picture (for which there is already a [good answer](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/9254/22413)).  The right hand side could just be viewed as drawing connectors between the node:  a rather rudimentary level sort of thing to do in TikZ or pstricks, but I don't think we have anything illustrating plainly how to do this except buried in other questions and therefore not readily searchable.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My suggestion is that a solution be posted for each of these aspects of the picture.  While we do have some questions about working with split nodes, we don't really have a question which is &quot;how do I draw a split node?&quot;  So, we in-the-know could post such a question (perhaps as a community wiki).

Text="I know this question has been raised before at [policy on &quot;how do I draw this?&quot; questions](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1538/22413). I know a lot of us are annoyed by these questions. But I'm not so sure, as in the linked discussion, that these sorts of questions add nothing to the site. I believe they could add something if we had an appropriate tag, such as `[how-to-draw]`, or we came up with better titles that might help others doing a search for such things. A tag additionally could then be a place to first direct people to look to see *possibly similar* figures that they wish to duplicate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I feel that the learning curve for either TikZ or PSTricks is steep enough that people can generally be quite lost about how to do even the simplest things. I discovered PSTricks many years ago and got to be quite comfortable with it. I began using TikZ about the time I joined this site.  Though there are similarities, much is different. For example, I feel, TikZ requires a much deeper understanding of LaTeX's macro expansion process than PSTricks requires.&#xD;&#xA;And, for those people who are new to LaTeX and haven't used any of the graphical packages, I think they can feel quite overwhelmed and lost. Some of the answers/comments to TikZ questions are just rather off-putting, like comments that read &quot;it's in the manual&quot;. Yes, that may be true, but the manuals are very long or broken across many different documents; finding what you want to do can be extremely challenging.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've been thinking about this policy of ours for a while. And it seems that increasingly we're becoming less *friendly* toward people who may just be totally out to sea about how to even start something.&#xD;&#xA;Recently I was downvoted for [answering such a question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/241587/22413)---and, I am **not** complaining about that; I understand the reason---but, that's prompted me to actually go ahead and post this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some of us actually enjoy trying to answer such *how to draw* questions: sometimes just because it challenges our own understanding of TikZ/PSTricks; other times just because it's fun to create the image. New people are always going to come to our site and post these sorts of annoying questions no matter how much we try to discourage it. I generally only answer such question for people with low rep. counts, which I take to be a sign that they may also be novice LaTeX (and family) users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm actually much more bothered by the repeated downvotes for the OP. I feel it casts us in a negative light when so much of what we do it supportive. I don't think it necessary that we view the people posting these questions as *vampires* (unless it's the same individually repeatedly posting time and time again the same sort of &quot;do this for me&quot; sort of question).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Could we come up with a policy that would make it more forgiving for OPs who may not even know where to start with TikZ/PSTricks? Could we please find a way not to be offended by these questions? After all, no one is saying, &quot;Hey you there, *you* must answer my post!&quot;. They're just reaching out hoping that someone will answer them." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I found out that this is very interesting phenomenon from (web)-technical, TeXnical, social and psychological points of view. There are many very nice questions and answers here. Moreover, a group of very hyperactive users is here and I should ask them:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Don't your activities at tex.sx.com steal too much time from your real&#xD;&#xA;&gt; life? Don't you feel that you are absorbed by this site and your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; normal activities are faded? Don't you sit before the computer monitor&#xD;&#xA;&gt; with tex.sx.com too much time?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I personally must answer: &quot;I do&quot; for all these questions. So, I decided today: **to stop with my activities here**. This is my last post (except short comments, maybe). Compare, that I was not such hyperactive as other users. I selected only interesting questions where the beauty of TeX and of ideas can be shown. I didn't deal with questions where questioners are drown in the useless LaTeX complexity nor very simple questions with straightforward answers: &quot;read the manual&quot; or &quot;read the log file carefully&quot; or &quot;your misunderstanding is due to the different TeX and LaTeX terminology&quot; or, finally &quot;do it yourself, this site isn't a code generator&quot;. Such type of&#xD;&#xA;questions are about 90 percent here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It would be better for me to stop my activities here because (for example) I&#xD;&#xA;really don't want to dispute with @egreg (one of hyperactive users) again and again.&#xD;&#xA;I hope I leaved the clear trace in my answers here with the messages:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- There is not only LaTeX, don't forget the existence of TeX.&#xD;&#xA;- The solution using straightforward TeX tools are more elegant and more &#xD;&#xA;  simple and compact (but this was rarely understood and upvoted because &#xD;&#xA;  users don't know TeX, unfortunately).&#xD;&#xA;- It will surely pay to know TeX language firstly. The higher level&#xD;&#xA;  languages have a potential dangerous bend: they hide the TeX from your&#xD;&#xA;  thinking and TeX will repay you (for example) with the messages of the&#xD;&#xA;  type &quot;`missing \endcsname inserted`&quot; which you cannot understand if you&#xD;&#xA;  avoid basic TeX principles.&#xD;&#xA;- More and more complicated higher level layers do problem less and less&#xD;&#xA;  traceable (using `\tracingall`, for example).&#xD;&#xA;- LaTeX was born as a template only (modular template: article, book,&#xD;&#xA;  report) for users-authors. It was supposed that a TeX-specialist is ready&#xD;&#xA;  to help users-authors during filling the template. But if an user-author&#xD;&#xA;  needs to do more (to program the document, to control the design) he/she &#xD;&#xA;  must to understand the TeX language first. LaTeX level only is not good &#xD;&#xA;  choice for this. &#xD;&#xA;- Very bad practice is the blending of layers (mixing `\newcommand` with `\def` for example). The user is lost in the Babylon of languages. But the first language in the TeX word is only one: language of TeX primitives.&#xD;&#xA;- The answer explaining how TeX works is more valuable than the answer of&#xD;&#xA;  the type &quot;use this package and don't think how this is done&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good `\bye`, tex.sx.com.

I found out that this is very interesting phenomenon from (web)-technical, TeXnical, social and psychological points of view. There are many very nice questions and answers here. Moreover, a group of very hyperactive users is here and I should ask them:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Do your activities at TeX.SE steal too much time from your real life?  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Do you feel that you are absorbed by this site and your normal activities are faded?  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Do you spend too much time in front of your computer monitor with TeX.SE open?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I personally must answer: &quot;I do&quot; for all these questions. So, I decided today: **to stop with my activities here**. This is my last post (except short comments, maybe). Compare, that I was not such hyperactive as other users. I selected only interesting questions where the beauty of TeX and of ideas can be shown. I didn't deal with questions where questioners are drown in the useless LaTeX complexity nor very simple questions with straightforward answers: &quot;read the manual&quot; or &quot;read the log file carefully&quot; or &quot;your misunderstanding is due to the different TeX and LaTeX terminology&quot; or, finally &quot;do it yourself, this site isn't a code generator&quot;. Such type of&#xD;&#xA;questions are about 90 percent here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It would be better for me to stop my activities here because (for example) I&#xD;&#xA;really don't want to dispute with @egreg (one of hyperactive users) again and again.&#xD;&#xA;I hope I leaved the clear trace in my answers here with the messages:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- There is not only LaTeX, don't forget the existence of TeX.&#xD;&#xA;- The solution using straightforward TeX tools are more elegant and more &#xD;&#xA;  simple and compact (but this was rarely understood and upvoted because &#xD;&#xA;  users don't know TeX, unfortunately).&#xD;&#xA;- It will surely pay to know TeX language firstly. The higher level&#xD;&#xA;  languages have a potential dangerous bend: they hide the TeX from your&#xD;&#xA;  thinking and TeX will repay you (for example) with the messages of the&#xD;&#xA;  type &quot;`missing \endcsname inserted`&quot; which you cannot understand if you&#xD;&#xA;  avoid basic TeX principles.&#xD;&#xA;- More and more complicated higher level layers do problem less and less&#xD;&#xA;  traceable (using `\tracingall`, for example).&#xD;&#xA;- LaTeX was born as a template only (modular template: article, book,&#xD;&#xA;  report) for users-authors. It was supposed that a TeX-specialist is ready&#xD;&#xA;  to help users-authors during filling the template. But if an user-author&#xD;&#xA;  needs to do more (to program the document, to control the design) he/she &#xD;&#xA;  must to understand the TeX language first. LaTeX level only is not good &#xD;&#xA;  choice for this. &#xD;&#xA;- Very bad practice is the blending of layers (mixing `\newcommand` with `\def` for example). The user is lost in the Babylon of languages. But the first language in the TeX word is only one: language of TeX primitives.&#xD;&#xA;- The answer explaining how TeX works is more valuable than the answer of&#xD;&#xA;  the type &quot;use this package and don't think how this is done&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good `\bye`, tex.sx.com.

I am Paulo. You probably saw a wacky duck avatar hanging out in the site, that's me. I will try to answer your questions the best I can.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Do your activities at TeX.SE steal too much time from your real life?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wish I had a real life. `:)` Seriously though, I wouldn't say TeX.sx steals much of my time because it became part of my real life. Granted, we express ourselves in here through a virtual representation, but IMHO it doesn't make less real than making eye contact with other people; there is someone sit in front of a computer, somewhere in the world, expressing him/herself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have two jobs and study. At the end of the day, I'm tired and sometimes frustrated; life sometimes gives us lemons and, despite the fact we should make lemonade ([and not make life take the lemons back, as Cave Johnson suggests us](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt6iTwVIiMM)), it is still sour nonetheless; places where I can vent, talk nonsense, be myself, laugh, have fun, are the missing sugar to make this proverbial lemonade taste somehow better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TeX.sx is my sugar. I hang out here because it plays an important role in my life. Of course I have my other sources of sugar and sweeteners, but this one is particularly at the distance of my click.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I remember when I first joined. TeX.sx was different from start, and I decided to hang out in the chatroom for a while. I am usually very talkative, I like to be friendly, I like to make new friends; all of a sudden, there was I spamming the chatroom with random sentences, as we say in Portuguese, to break the ice (messages along the lines of &quot;Oh, it's cold here!&quot; and &quot;I like ice cream.&quot; and &quot;Do you guys enjoy soccer?&quot;). And the community was there for me. I know, for example, that Joseph Wright and Christian Hupfer are Monty Python fans, egreg doesn't like Chopin, percusse is a very skillful drummer, and David Carlisle is a heavy vim user in disguise. This information is surely not related in any way to TeX and friends, but it make us feel welcomed. That's why I wouldn't say TeX.sx steals time from me, it deservedly earned this time. `:)` They are not TeX users for me, they are my friends. And surely you are one of them too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Do you feel that you are absorbed by this site and your normal activities are faded?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To be completely honest, I don't feel I'm *that* absorbed, mostly because I am not good with TeX at all neither with janitorial work. `:)` So, besides of being a chatroom regular, there isn't too much for me to proactively contribute to the main site, apart from voting and eventually flagging something that deserves moderation attention.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By the way, I even miss questions that are tagged with [tag:arara]! I believe I somehow have the moral obligation of at least posting comments to them, since I am the author of such contraption and the one to blame in case of fire. `:)` This silly example probably illustrates how much of an abstracted person I am. What I do on a daily basis, almost religiously, is to use all my 40 votes; I think I am the top voter of the entire StackExchange universe for a reason. I have two downvotes so far, so I think I am more inclined to provide positive feedback and be supportive. Again, it's probably my nature, I like being friendly. Internet is already a heinous place, full of hate and aggressiveness, so I'm trying my best to encourage the good in people.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Do you spend too much time in front of your computer monitor with TeX.SE open?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My browser is opened almost all the time I am using the computer, and of the default tabs point to the TeX.sx chatroom. Once in a while, I take a look at the main site, and that is it. Sometimes, someone in the chatroom mentions a main/meta site activity, so I go there and take some action, if needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I will surely miss you. I wish someday I could understand the bowels of TeX as much as you do; your answers are fantastic (my research currently involves macroinstructions and I learned a lot from your code), and I really want to thank you for your invaluable contribution to this site and TeX in general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't want your message to sound like a *goodbye*. How about *see you soon*? At least, consider the possibility of hanging out a little in the chatroom, it would be great for us to say hi to you once in a while.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thank you, pal."

Yes, it took up quite a bit of time (at still does sometimes), but it was (and still is) a _lot_ of fun for me. I learned a lot, and by participating here I learned the _hacking_ that I needed to start my project. I have received so much help here and for that I am so grateful.  I think you even answered a few of my questions.  Even though I probably did not use your plain TeX answers (more on that later), I am pretty sure I tested it and upvoted it. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Do you feel that you are absorbed by this site and your normal activities are faded?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Absorbed? Yes? But then, the activities here are part of my _normal_ activities so I don't see a problem with that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Do you spend too much time in front of your computer monitor with TeX.SE open?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes. But, it isn't too difficult to step away for a while and come back when I need to look something up, need a break from my work, or need to procrastinate as I have to do stuff that I don't enjoy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;The solution using straightforward TeX tools are more elegant and more simple and compact (but this was rarely understood and upvoted because users don't know TeX, unfortunately).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On this point, I have admit I am guilty. Many of the plain TeX and `expl3` solutions are just beyond me (not to mention expansion issues). I don't understand fully how they work and prefer to _not_ to use them, even if they are more elegant and more efficient. The reason being is that if I don't understand it, it will be difficult for me to modify it, should I need to later at some point. Now, partly because of this, I am suffering form a very lengthy time to do a complete build. I really do wish I could better understand plain TeX and had the time to rewrite all my base code, but unfortunately that never really happens. I am slowly tweaking things and improving compile times when I can, but also do need to keep my project moving forward.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The answer explaining how TeX works is more valuable than the answer of the type &quot;use this package and don't think how this is done&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Totally agree. I spend quite a bit of time reading and rereading those answers, especially when I get stuck. But, at the end of the day, if a package does the job for me I'd prefer to use it as it is less work for me. If the package comes around much after I already have my solution working then I'll just leave my code as is until I run into a problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One things that I would like to add is that to keep in mind that not everyone on this site is here for the same purpose. There are other uses for TeX/LaTeX other than just publishing a paper or writing a thesis.  I try very hard to make my questions generic, but sometimes it is difficult and they come across as bizarre. Two examples I can think of are http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/165258/how-to-ignore-everything-in-the-document-environment and http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/52142/remove-page-number-from-index-entries. All my questions have been actual problems that I needed to solve and really don't know how I would have been able to solve them without help from people like you. I am sure that there probably are many other people you have helped that you are not aware of.  If others disagree with you, I think that's ok as they are looking at it from a different point of view.  That shouldn't be taken as a negative thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In closing, if you need a break, take a break. If you find that at some point you are not having fun here, spend less time here. If you feel like contributing then do so.

My basic rules of thumb:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* If it answers the question, it belongs in the answers section.&#xD;&#xA;* If you're asking a question, ask a question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These two maxims are not mutually exclusive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Despite the comments, I don't believe it's *entirely* inappropriate.  Take for example [my question/answer on an application of coffins](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/244063/17423): The question was interesting and the answer was useful, so it received attention (and a bit of helpful criticism).  I wouldn't *expect* constructive criticism for a self-answer, but I would expect the same level of moderation and community education that I see with normal answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That said, I have also seen code posted here asking for review (see [tag:code-review] and [these](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/154139/17423) [questions](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/204376/17423) in particular).  It's not unprecedented, but it has its philosophical drawbacks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[tag:code-review] is *inherently* opinion-based.  I don't mean to say we don't have many wonderfully opinionated resources on our site, but I do think we should take caution in what we allow as a rule.  Comments are a fine place for short discussion.  If you'd like a longer chat about it (and can find someone willing to make the time investment), post-spawned chatrooms are a good resource offered by the platform.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing more [tag:code-review] on the site.  It's another way we can learn from each other – arguably more meaningful for the individual than the direct 'solve the problem' approach.  Even in this case, the wider community benefits from having more questions answered.  Still, exactly how this is approached might not be the best fit for the SE format.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the confines of this platform, I would say asking a general question and posting a working self-answer (asking for criticism near the top) is the best course of action."

To maximize my chances, I like to use the sites features to sort questions e.g. &quot;newest&quot; AND &quot;unanswered&quot; AND a only those with a specific tag.  I am sure this is exactly the reason why these filters are available.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Problem:**  I constantly stumble across questions that have no answer, but the conversation evident in the comments clearly demonstrate a resolution satisfactory to the user.  There may not be an answer to accept or to upvote, and frequently, even if there is an answer, the user may have obtained their answer and left, never to accept the posted answer.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Question:**  Shouldn't these questions be voted to closed to prevent long lists of &quot;unanswered&quot; questions from wasting everyone else's time as we go searching for ways to be of help?  A closed question seems no less discoverable by an external search engine as people are troubleshooting their problems, so whats the point of leaving these questions open?  Is there a demerit to the reputation of anyone contributing (past, present, or future) to the question that then becomes closed?  Since this site provides such great recognition tools in the review menu to draw attention to the flagged post, cleanup in identifying for the purpose of closing these questions could be left to the people this really bothers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Similar question allready on meta:**  http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3640/how-to-end-the-unanswered-status-of-really-solved-questions-in-the-comments &#xD;&#xA;My question is more to figure out what the consequences are that prevent people from voting to close and keep a tidier site."

I found out that this is very interesting phenomenon from (web)-technical, TeXnical, social and psychological points of view. There are many very nice questions and answers here. Moreover, a group of very hyperactive users is here and I should ask them:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Do your activities at TeX.SE steal too much time from your real life?  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Do you feel that you are absorbed by this site and your normal activities are faded?  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Do you spend too much time in front of your computer monitor with TeX.SE open?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I personally must answer: &quot;I do&quot; for all these questions. So, I decided today: **to stop with my activities here**. This is my last post (except short comments, maybe). Compare, that I was not such hyperactive as other users. I selected only interesting questions where the beauty of TeX and of ideas can be shown. I didn't deal with questions where questioners are drown in the useless LaTeX complexity nor very simple questions with straightforward answers: &quot;read the manual&quot; or &quot;read the log file carefully&quot; or &quot;your misunderstanding is due to the different TeX and LaTeX terminology&quot; or, finally &quot;do it yourself, this site isn't a code generator&quot;. Such type of&#xD;&#xA;questions are about 90 percent here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It would be better for me to stop my activities here because (for example) I&#xD;&#xA;really don't want to dispute with @egreg (one of hyperactive users) again and again.&#xD;&#xA;I hope I leaved the clear trace in my answers here with the messages:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- There is not only LaTeX, don't forget the existence of TeX.&#xD;&#xA;- The solution using straightforward TeX tools are more elegant and more &#xD;&#xA;  simple and compact (but this was rarely understood and upvoted because &#xD;&#xA;  users don't know TeX, unfortunately).&#xD;&#xA;- It will surely pay to know TeX language firstly. The higher level&#xD;&#xA;  languages have a potential dangerous bend: they hide the TeX from your&#xD;&#xA;  thinking and TeX will repay you (for example) with the messages of the&#xD;&#xA;  type &quot;`missing \endcsname inserted`&quot; which you cannot understand if you&#xD;&#xA;  avoid basic TeX principles.&#xD;&#xA;- More and more complicated higher level layers do problem less and less&#xD;&#xA;  traceable (using `\tracingall`, for example).&#xD;&#xA;- LaTeX was born as a template only (modular template: article, book,&#xD;&#xA;  report) for users-authors. It was supposed that a TeX-specialist is ready&#xD;&#xA;  to help users-authors during filling the template. But if an user-author&#xD;&#xA;  needs to do more (to program the document, to control the design) he/she &#xD;&#xA;  must to understand the TeX language first. LaTeX level only is not good &#xD;&#xA;  choice for this. &#xD;&#xA;- Very bad practice is the blending of layers (mixing `\newcommand` with `\def` for example). The user is lost in the Babylon of languages. But the first language in the TeX word is only one: language of TeX primitives.&#xD;&#xA;- The answer explaining how TeX works is more valuable than the answer of&#xD;&#xA;  the type &quot;use this package and don't think how this is done&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Good `\bye`, tex.sx.com. If somebody needs to contact me, please use my email, no this forum.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit**: My decision to leave this site is not due to my opinion discrepancy&#xD;&#xA;with LaTeX masses here but simply it is my personal failure: I feel that the&#xD;&#xA;concept of this site drags me into a &quot;sx.com addiction&quot; and I want to&#xD;&#xA;break this. This is the reason of my questions in this post. IMHO the sx.com concept can be very interesting subject for psychologists.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Maybe the “version problem” issues need a closer look, because a few cases are somewhat subtler than just “update your TeX distribution“: however, these will quite certainly already have a full answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In case the issue requires some more than updating or fixing a typing mistake, the best policy is to prompt one of the commenters to provide an answer. Such questions will show up during the monthly “Answer the unanswered” session, so either the commenter is prompted again or a CW answer can be written.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that sometimes the solution in comments is recognized by the OP without pinging the relevant commenter or the ping hasn't been acknowledged. Pinging again is the best strategy.&#xD;&#xA;Sometimes the OP doesn't even add a comment, but a reader thinks the question should be answered anyway: pinging is the right way."

It is intended to be concise and hands-on, but digestible rather than exhaustive. Suggestions for improvement welcome!*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are some strategies for reducing your code, which will help you get better and faster answers, since it will be clearer what your problem is and the other users will see that you put some effort into producing a concise Minimal Working Example. Thanks for that!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most likely, not all of these things will apply to your question, so just pick what does apply. However, it is advised that you provide the community with something that will reproduce the problem in the easiest way possible. Typically this requires code that starts with `\documentclass` and ends with `\end{document}` (if using LaTeX). It will allow readers to copy-and-paste-and-compile your code and see exactly what problems you might be experiencing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Document Class&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{MyUniversitysThesisClass}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Using a non-standard document class?

Does your problem still show up if you remove some or even most of them? Then **get rid** of those that **aren’t necessary for reproducing the problem**. (If you should later find out that another package is complicating the situation, you can always ask another question or edit the existing question.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In most cases, even packages like `inputenc` or `fontenc` are not necessary in MWEs, even though they are essential for many non-English documents in “real” documents.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Images&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{graphs/dataset17b.pdf}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[demo]{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    ....&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{graphs/dataset17b.pdf}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{mwe} % just for dummy images&#xD;&#xA;    ....&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{example-image}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your problem includes **an image**? Does your problem show up with any image? Then use the **option `demo`** for the package `graphicx` – this way, other users who don’t have your image file won’t get an error message because of that. If you prefer an actual image that you can rotate, stretch, etc., use the **[`mwe`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/mwe) package**, which provides a number of dummy images, named e.g. `example-image`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Text&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    In \cite{cite:0}, it is shown that $\Delta \subset {U_{\mathcal{{D}}}}$. Hence &#xD;&#xA;    Y. Q. Qian's characterization of conditionally uncountable elements was a &#xD;&#xA;    milestone in constructive algebra. Now it has long been known that there exists &#xD;&#xA;    an almost everywhere Clifford right-canonically pseudo-integrable, Clairaut &#xD;&#xA;    subset \cite{cite:0}. The groundbreaking work of J. Davis on isomorphisms was a &#xD;&#xA;    major advance. In future work, we plan to address questions of uniqueness as &#xD;&#xA;    well as degeneracy. Thus in \cite{cite:0}, the main result was the &#xD;&#xA;    classification of meromorphic, completely left-invariant systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{lipsum} % just for dummy text&#xD;&#xA;    ...&#xD;&#xA;    \lipsum[1-3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Foo bar baz.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need a **few paragraphs of text** to demonstrate your problem? Use a package that produces **dummy text**. Popular choices are [`lipsum`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/lipsum) (plain paragraphs) and [`blindtext`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/blindtext) (can produce entire documents with section titles, lists, and formulae).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need just a **tiny amount of text**? Then keep it maximally simple; avoid formulae, italics, tables – anything that’s not essential to the problem. Popular choices for dummy words are `foo`, `bar`, and `baz`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Bibliography Files&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;      @book{Knu86,&#xD;&#xA;        author = {Knuth, Donald E.},&#xD;&#xA;        year = {1986},&#xD;&#xA;        title = {The \TeX book},&#xD;&#xA;      }&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents*}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \bibliography{\jobname} % if you’re using BibTeX&#xD;&#xA;    \addbibresource{\jobname.bib} % if you’re using biblatex&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need a **.bib file** to reproduce your problem? Use a maximally simple entry embedded in a **`filecontents` environment** in the preamble. During the compilation, this will create a .bib file in the same directory as the `.tex` file, so users compiling your code only need to save one file by themselves.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another option for `biblatex` would be to use the file [`biblatex-examples.bib`][1], which should be installed with `biblatex` by default. You can find it in `bibtex/bib/biblatex/`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Data&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### －－ Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Never* include data as an image.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Number of points    Values&#xD;&#xA;    10                   100&#xD;&#xA;    20                   400&#xD;&#xA;    30                  1200&#xD;&#xA;    40                  2345&#xD;&#xA;    etc...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents*}{data.txt}&#xD;&#xA;    Number of points, Values&#xD;&#xA;    10, 100&#xD;&#xA;    20, 400&#xD;&#xA;    30, 1200&#xD;&#xA;    40, 2345&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents*}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Including the data as part of the MWE makes the example portable as well.

They were just distracted by the _mention_ of MathJax.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So is the culture here that we should just ask minimalistic questions?

I think to do that we first need a little history. The 'main site' (StackOverflow, 'SO') is about programming in general. The first sites that were created in parallel to SO (SuperUser and ServerFault, SU and SF, respectively) both have distinct audiences from SO. Whilst there is undoubtedly some programming in for example running a server, the core expertise is not the same (though the same _people_ may be active on both).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When the 'Powers' decided to allow more StackExchange sites as part of a network, they were looking for areas that have a distinct identity and which don't directly overlap with one another. In the case of TeX-sx, there is some programming going on but also a lot of other stuff. A lot of using TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, _etc._ is not about programming in the way someone on SO would understand it. Rather, we get questions about typography, document design, _etc._ as well as some about TeX programming. Even within the latter category, TeX programming is rather different to many other languages and it's hard to see a large degree of overlap with many (most?) regular users on SO. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The bottom line for the existence of any site on the network is having a distinct identity where the subject doesn't form a subset of the coverage of a larger site. Over the existence of TeX-sx we have I think found that our scope is different from SO, that many good questions here would be closed there, and that this site is therefore adding to the 'public good' (or however the Powers describe it).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that SO does have tags for TeX, LaTeX and BibTeX and that they do have some question on them. However, they need to be pretty tightly about programming to be on-topic for SO. For example, something like adjusting the formatting of a TOC would be on-topic for us but I think off-topic for SO as it's not really a programming question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would note here that there have been issues with establishing what one might call 'programming-related' sites on the network as there has been a lot of tension about the degree to which they might be viewed as a subset of SO. The Programmers site, for example, deals with what one might view as 'conceptual' ideas about being a programmer, and so is regarded as distinct from SO, but there are borderline questions."

That does *not* mean the majority of Area 51 users have to love your site idea. It simply means you have to recruit a community of users large enough so that questions get good answers quickly. Reach out to other experts to build support for your site; bloggers, enthusiasts, and support groups can all benefit from a world-class, canonical collection of expert answers to the hardest questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the proposal wasn't going to work, it would have been stopped during this proposal process.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The following may also have been a consideration:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ###Should my idea be part of an existing site, or its own site?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; In general, if a site makes sense as part of a bigger site, it's better to have one big site than a bunch of little niche sites.

I'm sure we all appreciate that there are some excellent questions with no code in them at all. Moreover, I'm pretty doubtful that most people sit and study these hep pages before asking questions.

These very often don't have any text giving away the nature of the diagram required, and are often very focussed on the needs of the OP (lacking generality). However, we've tended to tolerate such questions, partly as answers are often possible and partly as there is an assumption that we first want to help the OP, and only then worry about the wider audience.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of what we can do to help users ask 'better' questions, we are somewhat limited. The mods can edit some parts of the [Tour](http://tex.stackexchange.com/tour) page but not all of it (we can edit the intro and what to ask/not to ask). The way the Tour page is set up it does not feel to me as if detailed 'How to ask a question' ideas belong there: I'm struggling to see where 'Consider adding a MWE' would fit in.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We can also edit the first part of the [' What topics can I ask about here? '](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic). You'll see that in the latter there is already a line about providing a code example if possible. What it doesn't say is that one is _required_: there was a suggestion from the Powers that we might want a custom close reason saying more-or-less 'Off topic as there is no MWE' but that seemed far too prescriptive. I'm sure we all appreciate that there are some excellent questions with no code in them at all. Moreover, I'm pretty doubtful that most people sit and study these help pages before asking questions. My usual impression (certainly my own experience on other StackExchange sites) is that you (hopefully) do a quick search for what you want, and failing to find it post what you think makes sense and hope for the best!"

This is entirely equivalent to how questions about TeXmacs are likely to look, or questions about any other (semi-)code-based self-contained typesetting system. In the long run, as these typesetting systems gain more success, it should perhaps be considered changing TeX.SE into an SE with a more broad focus on technical typesetting. After all, because of dominant position of TeX in this area, it is very hard to start talking about technical typesetting at all without somehow getting TeX involved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/a/6174/19809" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

  <row Id="17639" PostHistoryTypeId="2" PostId="6202" RevisionGUID="ce5fb9ff-c7e5-4868-8c0e-d36216e8392e" CreationDate="2015-06-08T11:04:34.600" UserId="21344" Text="Quoting from the TeXbook:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The&#xD;&#xA;correct way to refer to `\TeX\` in a computer file, or when using some other&#xD;&#xA;medium that doesn't allow lowering of the 'E', is to type 'TeX'. Then&#xD;&#xA;there will be no confusion with similar names, and people will be&#xD;&#xA;primed to pronounce everything properly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While our medium technically does allow lowering of the 'E' (and raising of the 'A' for LaTeX), the lack of kerning makes it look not very nice. Even if you figured out the kerning, it would get broken if the Powers do a site update that changes the fonts or if a user's web browser loads different fonts for personal or fallback reasons. Some more reasons are accessibility, search-ability, and copy/paste-ability. These sorts of HTML/Unicode tricks would reduce the &quot;search weight&quot; (totally made-up term) of our pages, which in my mind is one of the great strengths of the Stack Exchange network. For these reasons I think it's better to just use the plain-text versions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another point: If you think it's completely trivial to implement (I don't, btw), why don't you go ahead and implement it as a user-script?

Leave a comment requesting the user convert it to an answer. See http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/3238/5764 and  http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/3683/5764.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Typically a &quot;discussion&quot; ensues within comments to the *answer*. This brings attention to the answerer to possibly update it to suit the new requirements. On the other hand. If the question is solved in this way, some users tend to leave their original question as-is. Others tend to feel that a modified question more adequately reflects their (original) intent, and therefore do exactly that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; I always think that it's best to leave the post in a very general format, as it serves a purpose on its own. Explicitly stating &quot;Edit 1&quot; or &quot;Edit 2&quot;, or mentioning that &quot;some new request is as a result of some comment&quot; makes people have to find and read the related comments to fully understand what went on. And that isn't always necessary in my opinion. You can identify post edits by looking at the revision history, and comments vary in their usefulness and shouldn't always be referred to as being part of a question/answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; What is important though is [asking a good question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask) to start with. Yes, this is not always easy. Do your research before &quot;throwing in the towel&quot;... One thing that has shown to help time-and-time again is the construction of a [*minimal* (working) example](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764) (or MWE). Very often, when breaking down a problem into its minimal components, it reveals clues as to what the solution might hold. Moreover, it shows that you care and would serve the community a problem on a silver platter... rather than just dumping your question using a fix-this-for-me approach. *Never under-estimate the power of a minimal (working) example.*" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />
  <row Id="17685" PostHistoryTypeId="5" PostId="1436" RevisionGUID="6c583427-e307-4970-82cc-5351529f5d2b" CreationDate="2015-06-17T15:18:42.153" UserId="79937" Comment="Fix typo" Text="**Welcome to TeX.SX**, the free, community driven Questions and Answers site for users of TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and related typesetting systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Here is some information to help you get started** and to make your work with this site a pleasant experience for you and all other users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* This site is for **Questions and answers** and is **not a forum**. This means that there is a quite strict format enforced here. Please post an answerable **question** using the [*Ask Question*](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ask) button (after [searching for existing similar questions](http://tex.stackexchange.com/search) first of course) or post a solution for an existing question as an **answer** post. Please **do not start discussions** or ask off-topic questions. You can also post **comments** to questions and answers to provide feedback. At first you can only comment on your own questions and their answers, but after you have gained a reputation of 50 you can comment everywhere. There is also [**chat**](http://chat.stackexchange.com/) for more casual posts. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Questions and answers can receive positive and negative **votes** to indicate their quality. Answers are sorted after the number of votes so that the better ones appear first. The votes that answers and questions receive also increase or decrease the **reputation** of the author of the post. With increasing reputation users will receive more and more [**privileges**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges) to do more things on the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The most useful **answer that solved your problem** should be **accepted** by clicking the tick/checkmark symbol to the left of the answer. This shows other people that this is &quot;the correct answer&quot; in your opinion and assigns points to the answerer and also you. The question will then be handled as &quot;done&quot; which is important for the housekeeping of the site. However, new answers can still be added and the question asker can accept a different answer at any time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* It is highly recommended to add a compilable, but [**minimal working example (MWE)**](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that) that illustrates your problem. This way other users can compile it themselves, analyze error messages more closely and also easily implement and test their solutions before posting them. This allows also for full, compilable examples to be posted in the answers which are very helpful for the question asker and all other people with the same problem. Note that in (La)TeX, issues are often dependent on the  packages used, and other people won't be able to provide much help if they don't know which packages you are using. Another reason for constructing a MWE is that you will often discover the source of your problem yourself just by trying to construct the example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Post should be **formatted** correctly using the simple **[Markdown](http://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help) format**. This ensures that the posts are easy to read. Here the most important formatting styles used on this site:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * Format *(La)TeX code* as code blocks by indenting them with four spaces. The `{}` button (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;) will do this for you.&#xD;&#xA;    * Format *inline code* using backticks, e.g. write `` `\somecode` `` to produce `\somecode`. Instead of typing the backticks, you can also highlight `\somecode` and use the `{}` button (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;).  &#xD;&#xA;This format should also be used for single macro and environment names, package and class names as well as command line executables.&#xD;&#xA;    * Please do not use &quot;here&quot; and &quot;this&quot; links to other questions and answers  but insert the link directly. The site will format it automatically.&#xD;&#xA;    * Error messages should be formatted as code blocks, not as quotations because they usually contain (La)TeX code which is more readable in this format.&#xD;&#xA;    * Quotes from manuals, website etc. as well as example text results (not code) should be formatted using quotation blocks (i.e. place a `&gt;` before the lines)&#xD;&#xA;    * Images should only be uploaded using the &quot;Image&quot; icon (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;G&lt;/kbd&gt;) which uses a special, time-less http://imgur.com/ account. Including images using a different way, like uploading it manually to imgur.com or using a different provider, might lead to broken images after a while and is not recommended. Please ensure that the image is in a suitable size (not too big or too small) and resolution and only shows relevant things without large margins.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Please **avoid opening and closing lines** like &quot;Hi&quot; (already automatically removed) and &quot;Thanks&quot;. Salutations, greetings and expressions of gratitude are already implied and only distract from the real question. Also the first two lines of the post will be displayed below the question title in the overview page and such lines will reduce the amount of useful information being displayed there. The author name is already displayed on the right site below the post, so there is no need for an extra signature line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* This is a serious, international site for high quality content. Please **write in English** and avoid [leetspeak](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet) or similar things even if they are common in other places of the Internet. Non-native English speakers are very welcome and your English doesn't have to be perfect, but posts should show some basic effort. This will make your post readable to most people and greatly improves the chance of getting good answers. The fact that all posts are editable also means that other users may correct your English for you if necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Please **post rough ideas, suggestions and similar material as comments** and reserve answers for actual solutions. You can edit your posts anytime to e.g. add more details to your question or to adjust your answer. Do not use long comment threads for longer or even medium sized discussions. Use  [chat](http://chat.stackexchange.com/) instead. You can even open your own chat room if you want. Please note that everything here is open and all your chat messages will be archived and accessible to others (as long the room is not restricted by a moderator).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* You can **notify other users** by adding comments to their posts or by adding their names after an `@`, i.e. `@username` in your comment. Note this only works for the first user mentioned this way and only if that user wrote a previous comment for the same post. The post author is always notified. Notifications also work in  chat if the user posted a message there not too long ago. See http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/598/when-writing-a-comment-how-do-i-ensure-that-the-person-it-is-addressed-to-gets-n for more details.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* There are **[three](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users?tab=moderators) [democratically elected](http://tex.stackexchange.com/election) [moderators](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/05/a-theory-of-moderation/)** for this site. They can be notified about issues by **flagging posts** using the `flag` link below each post.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* While you can post questions and answers as unregistered user, please consider **registering your account**. Otherwise you might create a new, different unregistered account with the same name and icon. Then you will not be able to edit your old posts or add comments to them. You can ask a moderator to merge such accounts together.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Questions about the site itself should be asked on [Meta.TeX.SX](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/), not on the main site. Here the restrictions are lower and you are free to start discussions as long they are about how to run the site etc." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

(It received the close vote after Yihui answered and after the OP accepted that answer, too, if I recall correctly. Or, I at least reviewed it in the close queue after Yihui's answer was accepted; maybe the close vote was cast before that.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, if we had such a close reason, I think it would only encourage people to cast close votes like this that aren't really justified and/or come way too quickly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/252210/what-does-this-error-message-suggest might not be the greatest question on the site, but it's certainly a reasonable question and there's no reason to close it. Moreover, there are some really good and/or really popular questions on the site that do not have MWEs, such as:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/246/when-should-i-use-input-vs-include&#xD;&#xA;- http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/9363/how-does-one-insert-a-backslash-or-a-tilde-into-latex&#xD;&#xA;- http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/39017/how-to-influence-the-position-of-float-environments-like-figure-and-table-in-lat&#xD;&#xA;- http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/9559/drawing-on-an-image-with-tikz&#xD;&#xA;- *etc.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, at a minimum, I think your suggested wording of&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; While your problem may have answers available, it is closed as no MWE is added to your question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;is not a good idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It would suggest that those good and/or popular questions should be closed since they do not have MWEs. Of course, one could reword your suggested close reason, but even with a more nuanced explanation for the close reason, I think it would most likely just invite people to abuse it, and then we would end up with a lot of questions being closed that shouldn't be closed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think [percusee's comment][1] is right that each situation is different, and so, in my opinion, it would be better to keep the current generic close reasons, which, at least in principle, would force people to think a little bit about why they're casting a close vote and if it is indeed justified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6229/do-we-need-a-new-closing-reason-for-do-it-for-me-questions#comment17956_6229" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Long answer no due to the structure of the website. The main problem is our format is for specific questions receiving specific answers. Actually the more specific the better it is. Hence, at the very best it can replace *A TeX cookbook*. Otherwise you really need the traditional book that takes you from *Hello World* to more complicated stuff. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Having said that, there is a big gap between two levels of questions: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - OK, I can handle the common document formats and create my basic documents.

However, these spam posts frequently serve a useful function, to my mind---they make an &quot;oldie but goodie&quot; question active, so that it pops up the queue for those looking for recent site activity.  That is how I recently came across, for example, this fascinating post: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/109969/how-to-practice-latex&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now don't get me wrong; I am as opposed to spam as anyone.  But it would seem to me that a nice feature would be for SX to randomly make old questions active (without the accompanying spam).  One can think of it as the featured question of the hour, or something like that, although &quot;featured&quot; implies a certain level of screening and thus human intervention.  What I have in mind is, for example, one question per hour that is randomly chosen and made active.  That would require no human intervention, but would allow a lot of older site wisdom to be reinvigorated over time, I think.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Am I crazy?" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I think this is nice aquarium pump action. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I don't think the powers-that-be implement such things for satellite networks in a standalone fashion. I've been hanging out there more often and in SO the whole idea is to bury down the questions as quick as possible. It is literally raining questions and the quicker they disappear the better. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are really a lot of dedicated moderators trying to hold things in a manageable threshold which is incredibly complicated. And given their user-profile, everybody is trying to be the correctest. Hence, almost every question has a sour comment ping-pong. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the case of someone accidentally reviving a question, I'm pretty sure some people track down the IP address of the poster and beat him up with o'Reilly books. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But for us, being the stop-and-smell-the-flowers-speed question and answer intake, this would be a nice addition. Besides everything, to recycle the old advices and replace them with new things that emerged in the meantime. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But, if it doesn't make sense to SO people they think it won't make sense anywhere else thus I think this proposal will be rejected."

One thing I've noticed of late is that almost any tree question that comes up, a couple of users (you know who you are...) jump in with a blanket recommendation that the `forest` package should be used, even though the original question did not ask about `forest`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now if someone is using the default `tikz` method for drawing a tree, by all means suggest using a tool better suited to the task.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm a big fan of `forest`, and I'm also in favour of recommending better solutions to a problem if they exist, but for many plain linguistics tree problems in particular, the widely used and excellent package `tikz-qtree` does a fine job (and in some cases, IMO) a better job than `forest`.  To see what I mean, look at this example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/257289/2693&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The `forest` trees are from a linguistic perspective much harder to read IMO, and the packing algorithm of `forest` is responsible.

It seems to be intended to be a sort of spiritual successor to TeX, and my impression is that a lot of what happens under the hood is a reworking of TeX. It uses the TeX fonts, it uses BibTeX for bibliography management, it appears (to me, an outsider) to use a typesetting model based on TeX, and it can be used to generate TeX output.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It belongs to one of the outer circles of the TeX community along with software like Asymptote, Biber, LyX, MetaPost, the TikZ output module in Geogebra etc. Therefore, **I think questions about it are acceptable on this site**. This is especially so if the questions are about typesetting and document setup, since the answers to such questions can be just as useful for users of TeX. However, other questions are welcome, too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As [Joseph Wright][1] (who appears not to agree with me in this case, however) remarks, questions about TeX have a certain spirit to them, different from those at StackOverflow: They are usually focused on good typesetting and document setup combined with a bit of simple programming. This is entirely equivalent to how questions about TeXmacs are likely to look, or questions about any other (semi-)code-based self-contained typesetting system. In the long run, as these typesetting systems gain more success, it should perhaps be considered changing TeX.SE into an SE with a more broad focus on technical typesetting. After all, because of dominant position of TeX in this area, it is very hard to start talking about technical typesetting at all without somehow getting TeX involved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/a/6174/19809" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Another case that comes to mind is that of a `tikzpicture` that uses features only available in additional libraries: these should be mentioned. Playing hide and seek is fun, but limits the chances to get an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Consider that adding a suitable document preamble around a code snippet that doesn't mention the necessary class/packages requires a non-trivial effort from people trying to help: in several cases it's really impossible to prepare an answer, if information is insufficient.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's not really different from C snippets that depend on unspecified libraries and I'm quite sure that such questions would be fast closed on StackOverflow.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This doesn't mean posting the entire document, but only a “compilable abridged version” that exhibits the issue, particularly when errors or unexpected output is concerned. It often happens that trying to make the MWE helps the questioner in pinpointing the problem." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Describing a problem in words can be very hard in a different language, espeacially when a special nomentclature is in use.

Text="Is it an intended feature of the new interface that nobody can edit a post if an edit of that post is stuck in the review queue awaiting enough votes for approval or rejection?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Whether feature or bug, it is extraordinarily annoying. It is also new with the new site design. It did not used to happen like this!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two cases:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Case 1&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;This is by far the most annoying: it prevents me from editing my own post!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sometimes, if I edit a post, the system simultaneously logs me out and adds the edit to the review queue, marking it as submitted by an anonymous user. After logging back in, I can approve the edit but obviously that's just one vote in its favour.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the past, I've just edited the question again, the system has recognised me as logged in, and the edit has taken.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, however, if I click on `edit`, I get immediately pushed to the review queue even if I've already approved the edit, and told I can't approve again. Obviously that makes sense - I can only vote once. But I now cannot edit the post at all until, presumably, the edit has garnered enough votes to be approved or rejected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Moreover, I assume this will happen to anybody else who tries to edit the post as well. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is the question I unsuccessfully edited: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/256423/how-to-put-the-solarized-theme-in-texmaker-editor?noredirect=1#comment620522_256423.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[The Jul 22 edit is a previous edit by me. My unsuccessful edit of Aug 4 is not recognised as being mine.]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that this also means that I can immediately see - cannot, in fact, avoid seeing - which users approve or reject my edits. Is this intended?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Case 2&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;It is impossible to improve the formatting, wording or content of a post with an edit pending approval or rejection. For example, I cannot currently tidy up the English in [this post](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/267292/inserting-code-using-listings-goes-off-page) because another user has edited it, but the edit has not yet been approved or rejected. Since the other user is probably the OP in this case, this is probably a function of the standard dual-account problem. But the general issue is independent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that this is less frustrating because, heck, it is somebody else's question and I can easily decide not to take much of an interest. Not great if it is your question, maybe, but not terribly annoying for me. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[But arguably my taking no interest is really the best thing that could happen to your question. So certainly the balance of benefits to costs may weigh on the side of the new feature in this case....]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Side issue: when the review queue comes up it is now in one of those annoying floating window things. Worse still, depending where I am on the page, most of the floaty thing may be off screen. In this case, only about the bottom cm or so was actually visible. So there's just a dimmed screen with a white strip at the top. It took me some time to recognise this as the review queue.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Probably there is a reason.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(The same way, nobody is moving from SVN to CSV.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3) Big companies are moving there opensource projects from their own repos to github (like [Google][3] and [Microsoft][4]) . Probably there is a reason.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4) Github has a solid business model that allows them to not have commercials on their site. This is not the case for sourceforge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What are the cons to move to github ?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can see only one : if the core team of TikZ is not used to use git, it has to learn it. And git has a not so short learning curve.

I haven't seen this happen on other communities of SE, but I do see it repeatedly here. I have noticed that this community of SE is less strict on the site's policy and guidelines than others. I'm not saying I'm against it, in fact, I've seen other communities where the closing squad jumps the gun, which is the other side of the spectrum and leads to even more frustration if (arguably) unjustified.

For most of the 'regulars', simply not voting at all is a good indication of an issue with a question: most good questions should have significantly positive scores. Now, if a few people do decide to upvote weaker questions, that can lead to a net positive score as here. However, that shouldn't be a big issue: most of the really useful questions end up with much bigger values.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of answering, this process is independent of the question in a sense. Using the 'crystal ball' approach is pretty common for answering TeX issues, so many of us are adept at it. Particularly for graphics questions there is a long-standing question/issue/tension about whether to answer 'draw it for me' questions (see for example http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4267/our-do-it-for-me-and-draw-it-for-me-comments-dont-reflect-our-hypocrisy-can-th).  For me, whilst I don't answer these in general I do see why people do: the OP needs help, setting up drawings from code is hard and they may really not know what to do. Certainly many of the answers to these questions show off some powerful techniques, so I have no problem uvoting such answers." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This doesn't make us immune to regular moderation and implementations of the rest of the network but in terms of behavior, at least I, can't care less what other networks impose. We have discussed these items lots and lots of times but let me briefly summarize: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  1. &quot;Research effort&quot; is an ill-defined and ambiguous concept. Dumping some irrelevant code or copy-pasting a code from somewhere is also slacking. Instead of satisfying your inner police, you can simply answer it, if you understand the question. Forcing the user to ask as you wish it is asked, is detrimental. There is no need to act like a robot. (Not that I imply that you do this, just saying).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  2. Every answer in that question, and in general, people act here amazingly with an unspoken pact that is if somebody already answered in the ball park of common methodology, others comment and ask for adding features of that particular method.  You can see that the answers are extremely rarely duplicates of each other. And also if somebody else's answer is we just delete the other voluntarily. That is pretty much not happening elsewhere as far as I know. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  3. I vote to mark things as read. In SO people build career over that stuff. Here what would it matter if I had 20k, or 100k? So this rep points frenzy is not our problem. Hence you can use it as liberal as you wish. But for the sake of argument let's say voting is something important for some metric. Still voting is one-sided. For community building, a new-comer having -6 votes without even understanding what voting means is plain stupid to have on a place where it continuously brags about community-building. Because everybody knows what a negative number means. But you might not understand what a number means that is randomly increasing. And some of us, believe it or not, really don't care. I sometimes upvote just to make people get out of the beginner priviledge restrictions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  4. I don't think the question is poor. It is pretty to the point. Some basic TeX document code would have been nicer but my answer is also not so long anyways. I think we all know what a poor question is by now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  5. We are not a cult. If we are claiming that people come here to ask questions, then we should act like so. Currently, I always feel like I'm on the customs authority office caught with some substance in my pocket, if I try to ask things on the other sites. It takes so long time, before the residents give a lecture about site rules and how to ask and by then I figure out by asking on an old fashioned mailing list or asking a colleague etc. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Having said all these, I also agree that TikZ questions get unjustified upvotes occasionally. Because seeing is believing though other answers you really think hard for a few hours that fix stuff internally hardly makes it to 5.  &#xD;&#xA;Long story short, if you read a question and you think it is not that trivial and you understand what is asked. Just answer it. The community is free to appreciate it with clicking the arrows and making the number under your square increase. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We downvote to mark something is seriously wrong, and `-1` is enough to be negative. How would you compare a `-6` question `-13` question? Is it twice as bad? Is `-6` better than `-13` in terms of question quality? Instead here negative vote is a boolean and one vote is enough to make it negative enough. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Additionally, in order to reduce the search results, adding appropriate tags help. Here are some examples:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Source: http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/268564/5764&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Duplicate search approach: I know [`fancyvrb`](http://ctan.org/pkg/fancyvrb) allows for escaping to change colour, so before quickly writing up and answer, lets search for [`fancyvrb [color] is:answer`](http://tex.stackexchange.com/search?tab=votes&amp;q=fancyvrb%20%5bcolor%5d%20is%3aanswer), sorted by votes. Note the search specifically includes a reference to **answers only**. Searching through the first page reveals [Changing color of text snippet in a `verbatim` environment](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/91261/5764) which provides a viable solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keys to finding duplicates include:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Being patient (not just writing up a solution because you know the answer);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Searching and perhaps refining this search using some [ninja search options](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Switching to Google to search for solutions specific to [TeX.SE](http://tex.stackexchange.com) by adding the search term `site:tex.stackexchange.com`.

One of the more common problems we see is people just collecting ever larger preambles loading packages they don't need, specifying packages multiple times, and generally accumulating complexity and fragility for no gain.

I will write this as answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you like the idea that TeX.SE members, who wrote a book and can offer it with a discount promotion, can tell it visibly our members, you could up vote the [Beginner's guide ad][6].

I will delete both after promotion end.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you consider it as undesirable promotion, independent if it's supporting publishing LaTeX books, you may downvote of course.

It's a valid place, since parts of the book are about this site, TeX Stack Exchange. How? I will write this as answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you like the idea that TeX.SE members, who wrote a book and can offer it with a discount promotion, can tell it visibly our members, you could up vote the [Beginner's guide ad][5]. With a minimum score of 6, it becomes visible from time to time (as there are many others with a lot higher score). I will delete both after promotion end.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you consider it as undesirable promotion, independent if it's supporting publishing LaTeX books, you may downvote of course. But I hope a cookbook style one which is fully based on examples would be welcome. :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And in my answer you can see, that I made massive TeX Stack Exchange promotion in my books, mainly in the first one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, you can get a quick impression of the new book by visiting the gallery [LaTeX-Cookbook.net][6].

You might experience some *do your research* type weirdness potentially but with some patience it usually goes OK, if you can keep your cool with such users. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Having said that, you have to avoid the duplicate questions which is your part of the deal. A new font question in particular depends completely on the document class (which goes into `\documentclass{}` the packages you are trying to use (any font packages or are you trying to use a system font such as Verdana, Comic Sans, Ubuntu, Windows fonts and so on) and the compilation chain LuaTeX? XeLaTeX? and most importantly why you want to do this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Often users ask a question about problem X to solve the problem Y which is called an XY problem. If you instead can describe problem X properly and avoid duplicates then fire your questions as many as you like. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **primarily opinion-based**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise."

It is intended to be concise and hands-on, but digestible rather than exhaustive. Suggestions for improvement welcome!*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are some strategies for reducing your code, which will help you get better and faster answers, since it will be clearer what your problem is and the other users will see that you put some effort into producing a concise Minimal Working Example. Thanks for that!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most likely, not all of these things will apply to your question, so just pick what does apply. However, it is advised that you provide the community with something that will reproduce the problem in the easiest way possible. Typically this requires code that starts with `\documentclass` and ends with `\end{document}` (if using LaTeX). It will allow readers to copy-and-paste-and-compile your code and see exactly what problems you might be experiencing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What follows below are snippets of code; **bad** references imply that it should typically not be used, as it may not be part of the problem, while **good** references make suggestions that should be used instead. Note that these snippets should still form part of a larger, `\documentclass`...`\end{document}` structure as mentioned above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Document Class&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{MyUniversitysThesisClass}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Using a non-standard document class? Does your problem still show up with `article`?

Does your problem still show up without them?

Great habit, but usually not necessary in a MWE – **get rid of them**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Loading Packages&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{a4wide}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{amsmath, amsthm, amssymb}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{url}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[algoruled,vlined]{algorithm2e}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[ngerman, american]{babel}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{booktabs}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{units}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{makeidx}&#xD;&#xA;      \makeindex  &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{color}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{colortbl}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{epstopdf}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{rotating}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    % Assuming your problem is related e.g. to the rotation of a figure, you might need:&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{rotating}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You’ve developed an awesome template with lots of helpful packages? Does your problem still show up if you remove some or even most of them? Then **get rid** of those that **aren’t necessary for reproducing the problem**. (If you should later find out that another package is complicating the situation, you can always ask another question or edit the existing question.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In most cases, even packages like `inputenc` or `fontenc` are not necessary in MWEs, even though they are essential for many non-English documents in “real” documents.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Images&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{graphs/dataset17b.pdf}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[demo]{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    ....&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{graphs/dataset17b.pdf}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{mwe} % just for dummy images&#xD;&#xA;    ....&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{example-image}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your problem includes **an image**? Does your problem show up with any image? Then use the **option `demo`** for the package `graphicx` – this way, other users who don’t have your image file won’t get an error message because of that. If you prefer an actual image that you can rotate, stretch, etc., use the **[`mwe`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/mwe) package**, which provides a number of dummy images, named e.g. `example-image`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Text&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    In \cite{cite:0}, it is shown that $\Delta \subset {U_{\mathcal{{D}}}}$. Hence &#xD;&#xA;    Y. Q. Qian's characterization of conditionally uncountable elements was a &#xD;&#xA;    milestone in constructive algebra. Now it has long been known that there exists &#xD;&#xA;    an almost everywhere Clifford right-canonically pseudo-integrable, Clairaut &#xD;&#xA;    subset \cite{cite:0}. The groundbreaking work of J. Davis on isomorphisms was a &#xD;&#xA;    major advance. In future work, we plan to address questions of uniqueness as &#xD;&#xA;    well as degeneracy. Thus in \cite{cite:0}, the main result was the &#xD;&#xA;    classification of meromorphic, completely left-invariant systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{lipsum} % just for dummy text&#xD;&#xA;    ...&#xD;&#xA;    \lipsum[1-3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Foo bar baz.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need a **few paragraphs of text** to demonstrate your problem? Use a package that produces **dummy text**. Popular choices are [`lipsum`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/lipsum) (plain paragraphs) and [`blindtext`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/blindtext) (can produce entire documents with section titles, lists, and formulae).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need just a **tiny amount of text**? Then keep it maximally simple; avoid formulae, italics, tables – anything that’s not essential to the problem. Popular choices for dummy words are `foo`, `bar`, and `baz`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Bibliography Files&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;      @book{Knu86,&#xD;&#xA;        author = {Knuth, Donald E.},&#xD;&#xA;        year = {1986},&#xD;&#xA;        title = {The \TeX book},&#xD;&#xA;      }&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents*}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \bibliography{\jobname} % if you’re using BibTeX&#xD;&#xA;    \addbibresource{\jobname.bib} % if you’re using biblatex&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need a **.bib file** to reproduce your problem? Use a maximally simple entry embedded in a **`filecontents` environment** in the preamble. During the compilation, this will create a .bib file in the same directory as the `.tex` file, so users compiling your code only need to save one file by themselves.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another option for `biblatex` would be to use the file [`biblatex-examples.bib`][1], which should be installed with `biblatex` by default. You can find it in `bibtex/bib/biblatex/`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Data&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### －－ Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Never* include data as an image.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Number of points    Values&#xD;&#xA;    10                   100&#xD;&#xA;    20                   400&#xD;&#xA;    30                  1200&#xD;&#xA;    40                  2345&#xD;&#xA;    etc...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents*}{data.txt}&#xD;&#xA;    Number of points, Values&#xD;&#xA;    10, 100&#xD;&#xA;    20, 400&#xD;&#xA;    30, 1200&#xD;&#xA;    40, 2345&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents*}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Including the data as part of the MWE makes the example portable as well. Of course, the input may differ depending on what package you use to manage the data (some require CSV, some don't).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Formatting your code&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Formatting of code](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/formatting) is done using Markdown. See the relevant FAQ http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1192. There also exists some syntax-highlighting, a discussion of which can be following at http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/184108.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With the above in mind, don't post your code in comments, since [comments only support a limited amount of Markdown](http://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help#comment-formatting).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Posting a Picture of Your Output&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It’s often helpful to see what your current, faulty output looks like.

I found it helpful as well when writing my thesis, because it provides hands-on practical advice (and because it is always among the first hits on a web search about LaTeX).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, in the comments it is implied that there are errors and/or bad advice in the Wikibook. It is pointed out that the commenters could easily edit the book, but the discussion ends there.

Since we (as a community) recommend the Wikibook (it is the topmost answer in the &quot;Resources for beginners&quot; question, after all), and the possibility to improve it exists, we should strive to improve the book wherever we see potential for improvement, for the benefit of LaTeX beginners.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I don't feel knowledgeable enough to discern bad LaTeX advice, but there are people here who can easily tell what's A Bad Idea™ from years of experience.

As being such it is a very bad place to be a reference material for the beginners and intermediate users of **La**TeX. Surely you can place some information about how to use `\date` or `\author` but the complexity increases substantially if you just want to push that title down a bit and make a line break in the institution name. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To do this simply, people do a lot of ugly-as-hell hacks which rub people here the wrong way. Simply because we know better. But it just works why should anyone bother about what we think?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The biggest obstacle in TeX to convey is that there are gazillion-many ways to do the same thing since only the expanded tokens matter. How it got to that point is not relevant and that is the major obstacle in making people learn TeX. Coincidentally this is the same reason why old and wrong habits don't die. Because they kind of work for some years and break down out of the blue sky.    &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unlike other programming languages the inplace replacement nature of TeX makes it almost impossible to treat the subject in a Wiki fashion.

As being such it is a very bad place to be a reference material for the beginners and intermediate users of **La**TeX. Surely you can place some information about how to use `\date` or `\author` but the complexity increases substantially if you just want to push that title down a bit and make a line break in the institution name. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To do this simply, people do a lot of ugly-as-hell hacks which rub people here the wrong way. Simply because we know better. But it just works why should anyone bother about what we think?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The biggest obstacle in TeX to convey is that there are gazillion-many ways to do the same thing since only the expanded tokens matter. How it got to that point is not relevant and that is the major obstacle in making people learn TeX. Coincidentally this is the same reason why old and wrong habits don't die. Because they kind of work for some years and break down out of the blue sky.    &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unlike other programming languages the inplace replacement nature of TeX makes it almost impossible to treat the subject in a Wiki fashion. Also it serves as a horrible source of confusion since internet supplies an authoritative tolerance to anything that bears the prefix wiki. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead of wasting the time and effort of the community, if there will be a collaborative effort, I would put my money on an intermediate level TeX treatment of an online book (Distilled TeXbook if you like). That would for example, eliminate lots and lots of discussions, edit wars and so on that you see even on math pages. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It can be much better with a [Read The Docs](http://readthedocs.org) type of format such that the wikibookness can be kept (if that is absolutely necessary) but the flow would be much better with a GitHub-powered pull-merge intake and we can have indices, table of contents and much more. Even better, a LaTeX3 solution can be incorporated to all this at any point. A LaTeX3 based introduction can finally make a clear distinction between the document level and programming level formats. So much so that new generation can give up on the old style and start from scratch without the need of learning every LaTeX version before they can perform the simplest hack. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have the lesser-likened opinion that this much of backwards compatibility is not useful for any purpose other than bragging about it. Things have changed and so have people. The engines are still around and if you are dying to replicate the 30-years old document you still can. That doesn't mean we have to get stuck with a system because somebody wants to compile a 30-years old document. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Irrelevant opinion: In fact, if TeX can't get out of this PDF-output lock, it will be one of those archaic things because interactivity is killing everything on its way.

Is this done on purpose because voting is one of the actions that could be done for reviewing? But there are many more actions possible (in particular commenting -- or skipping if voting would be the right thing to do).

Voting up/down&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 2. Editing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 3. Voting to close (on questions) or delete (on negatively-scored answers)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 4. Flagging&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 5. Commenting&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; *All* of these except for editing are rate-limited in some way. And of the five, voting and editing are the two most important - not only are&#xD;&#xA;&gt; they critical to the overall quality of the site, but specifically in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the case of new users they are our primary means of welcoming new&#xD;&#xA;&gt; users and demonstrating our commitment to high-quality questions and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; answers. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; So if you can't vote, you're left with editing as your primary tool in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; this queue. While I'd love think this was enough, in practice folks&#xD;&#xA;&gt; vote a *lot* more than they edit - even on Stack Overflow, there are&#xD;&#xA;&gt; only 2 people *consistently* averaging more than 30 edits a day.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Editing takes more time and effort than any other action on that list,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; hence the lack of external rate-limiting. If you're diligently editing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; all or most of the posts you review, more power to you - and if you're&#xD;&#xA;&gt; done for the day in the First Posts queue, you might find your skills&#xD;&#xA;&gt; put to good use by either the Low Quality or Suggested Edits queues. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &gt; I find editing/close votes/comments to be a better tool personally&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Close votes are also rate-limited, can only be used on questions, and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; even then only used on a minority of questions. If you have close&#xD;&#xA;&gt; votes to burn, [there's a whole queue waiting for you][1]... Comments&#xD;&#xA;&gt; are nice, but also the most toothless of the bunch - and they also&#xD;&#xA;&gt; suffer from the same problem as editing: leaving *good* comments takes&#xD;&#xA;&gt; more time than anything else. If those were the only tools available&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to you, it would be a pretty useless queue. &#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; **Voting is the easiest, fastest, and IMHO most useful thing you can do in the First Posts queue** - if you do nothing else, please vote.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; And if you burn through all of your votes reviewing first posts,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; consider that the sign of a job well done. *Thank you*!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/review/close" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's open to any Stack Exchange site that chooses to participate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;During Winter Bash, users earn virtual hats by completing certain tasks. They're sort of like badges, but they're more visible and less permanent. Hats can be &quot;worn&quot; on users' avatars just about anywhere avatars show up on the network. Here's an example of what some hats looked like last year, taken from the network leaderboard:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, SE is rolling out an all-new assortment of hats for this year's event, as they have in the past.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The Details&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This year's event will start on 14 December 2015 and run up to and including 03 January 2016. Users will be able to see all the hats they've earned on http://winterbash2015.stackexchange.com. That site will also have an FAQ to explain how things work. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Individual users who don’t want to participate, don’t want to see hats, and/or are generally anti-hat will have an “I hate hats” option available. And just like last time, at the end of the event, all hats will go back into storage. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only visual change to the Stack Exchange sites themselves will be the presence of the hats and the “I hate hats” button in the footer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/R61FX.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There are also some FAQs (like the famous and repeatable asked how-to-place-my-figure-here question) which need to be linked to the appropriate existing question. Sometimes I have issues finding the related question quickly even if I already linked to it a couple of times before.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I thought it would be good to have a collection of such often references questions sorted after topic in a meta post similar to our create [Text building blocks](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/430).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions should be listed after topic.

The URL can be received by using the `link` link below a question. There is also an [stackapps app](http://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](http://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format. The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`. The first order headlines are a little to large IMHO.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The occasion to ask this question was of course that I had such a situation myself. However, I already suspected that my particular problem was an easy issue that I just did not check yet. Just to have a concrete example (and to get my problem fixed) I added the description of my particular situation to the question. As suspected, it was an easy problem: There was an old version of biber somewhere in the OS path. This was discovered very quickly through the comments. Then the question was closed as off-topic since my particular problem was due to old software. But the question itself was never restricted to that particular issue (it was explicitly focussed on general guidelines from the very beginning). I answered the comments left for the reason of closure, I edited the question, but there was no reaction to my comments or edits. So I'm asking here on Meta whether this question is actually considered off-topic and why." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The usual pattern is that a series of comments, none of which can really be viewed as an answer, are posted and we end up with the user saying 'Ah this solves it'. However, normally this comment thread is tied to the issue for the questionner, and it's unlikely that any other user will have the same issue, or at least that they are unlikely to read the question and any answer that could be constructed and use it without having to ask again. At the same time, there are an ever-expanding set of questions that come down to 'you've got an old version of X somewhere' or 'this was true in an old version but it's already been fixed so you should update'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The aim of the StackExchange network is (broadly) to build up Q&amp;A info that _is valuable to multiple people_. Posting answers that only help one person as they are very 'localised' is therefore not something that's been popular. (It can also look a bit like 'rep harvesting' as the solution is already sorted and the gain for other users is not clear.) The convention has thus been that troubleshooting questions normally get closed once a solution has been worked out. Historically, we closed such cases as 'too localized' but the network got rid of that reason, and the 'Powers' favour calling such issues off-topic. As none of the other reasons fit any better, we've tending to use that though I think its fair to say a better reason would be preferable. (Such things are network-wide so are not up to the TeX site to decide on.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the case of 'troubleshooting Biber' the problem with a general question is I think that it's unlikely to be possible to cover everything and you have to wonder if a new user would find it (and find it useful). For the common example of the cache issue, I'd imagine they're likely to search for the weird error (`recode_data.xml not found in ...`), which is in the title of the 'master' question we have on that. Moreover, general questions tend to be best asked _deliberately_ rather than starting from a single issue. So if you feel that a general Biber debugging question is needed, probably think carefully about how to phrase is then post it." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As such, we can now restart the Community Promotion Ads for 2016!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keep in mind, we have updated some of the guidelines compared to previously - the changes are marked in bold in the Image Requirements section.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### What are Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - scripts packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The question must always be tagged with the magic [meta-tag:community-ads] tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Image requirements&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The image that you create must be **300 x 250 pixels**, or double that if retina.&#xD;&#xA; - Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)&#xD;&#xA; - Must be GIF or PNG&#xD;&#xA; - No animated GIFs&#xD;&#xA; - Absolute limit on file size of **40 KB**&#xD;&#xA; - **If the background of the image is white or partially white, there must be a 1px border surrounding it.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Score Threshold&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a **minimum score threshold** an answer must meet (currently **6**) before it will be shown on the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats [here][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/ads/display/6473" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There are also some FAQs (like the famous and repeatable asked how-to-place-my-figure-here question) which need to be linked to the appropriate existing question. Sometimes I have issues finding the related question quickly even if I already linked to it a couple of times before.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I thought it would be good to have a collection of such often references questions sorted after topic in a meta post similar to our create [Text building blocks](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/430).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions should be listed after topic. Every topic as CW answer to this post.&#xD;&#xA;Please use the following format:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ## Topic Headline at Start of Answer Post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * [question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;) [2 spaces] [linebreak]&#xD;&#xA;     ``[question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;)``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This way the question is provided as link (for quick access from this page) as well as markdown code suitable for comments (and as in-line link in a chat message). The URL can be received by using the `link` link below a question. There is also an [stackapps app](http://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](http://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format. The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`. The first order headlines are a little to large IMHO.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Whilst TeX-sx covers the TeX world generally, LaTeX is by far the dominant format in use (plain TeX and ConTeXt are much less widely used). As such, it was clear from the earliest days of the site that questions should be treated as about LaTeX _unless_ they are explicitly not. Thus we have tags such as [tag:plain-tex] and [tag:context], plus for low-level questions [tag:tex-core].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For engine variation, we have tags [tag:pdftex], [tag:xetex] and [tag:luatex]. These are used to show that a question is about that engine specifically but _do not_ specify which format is involved. Thus a question which is about a questions specific to using the plain format with the XeTeX engine should be tagged both [tag:xetex] and [tag:plain-tex]. (The latter tag is used not just for Knuth's TeX90 format but any of the 'essentially plain' derivatives.) On the other hand, a question specific to XeLaTeX should be tagged [tag:xetex] plus whatever packages are important (likely to be [tag:fontspec] or perhaps [tag:fonts], though it could be of course a question about drivers or the like)."

For example, &quot;Section/Page n of the manual for the X package says you always need to load X after Y&quot; is an attribution that supports the answer, whereas &quot;If you'd read the manual, you'd know that X must be loaded after Y&quot; is an RTFM.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The StackExchange network generally encourages the use of attribution in answers. This is more important for sites such as english or scifi where answers can easily become opinionated, and answers without attributions may be downvoted because they're unsupported.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On this site, an answer such as &quot;you need to load X after Y&quot; can be easily verified by trying it out. We also have users on this site who are part of the LaTeX3 Project Team, or have been involved with the development of TeX for many years, or who are package/class authors. This naturally lends weight to their answers, but only for those readers who are aware of this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I often land on StackExchange sites through web searches. I don't have time to do the site tour or find out about the users on that particular site. I just want an answer to my problem. An attribution helps to validate the answer, but it also provides a next step for my search if the question is only similar rather than exactly the same as mine and the answer doesn't solve my problem or doesn't solve it completely.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So personally I don't view a supporting reference to documentation as a cry of RTFM any more than I view a link to a related question as a cry of &quot;why don't you use the flipping search box&quot;. The key thing here is about correctly phrasing attributions rather than emphasis on teaching users to read the manual.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's an attribution for this answer ;-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From [&quot;How to write a good answer&quot;](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-answer) (section &quot;Provide context for links&quot;):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Links to external resources are encouraged, but please add context around the link so your fellow users will have some idea what it is and why it’s there.

I am reluctant to take advantage of this since I have enjoyed the benefit of a subscription this year and think that others should have their turns. However, since barbara has urged me to put my name forward despite this, as there are more spots available than there are nominees. (Though I'm not sure this is a reason to give me a second turn.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I enjoy reading TUG Boat and I would be very pleased to enjoy another subscription. However, I would urge that preference be given to those who have not received a membership before.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My most popular question is [Why shouldn't I use getnonfreefonts to install additional fonts?

(The unconvinced should note [my most popular answer](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/266179/) before protesting this assertion.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have particular interests in support for 'traditional' TeX fonts, which can be used with engines such as TeX and pdfTeX, and in typesetting logic and tree diagrams. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am the author of the following font support packages: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * [nfssext-cfr](http://ctan.org/pkg/nfssext-cfr) which extends the extension of the New Font Selection Scheme provided by Philipp Lehman as part of [The Font Installation Guide](http://ctan.org/pkg/fontinstallationguide). Several of my font packages use this to provide intuitive access to weights, widths, shapes and styles not supported out-of-the-box by the standard LaTeX-2e font commands. For example, `\plstyle` to switch to proportional, lining figures or `\textsi{&lt;text&gt;}` to typeset `&lt;text&gt;` in italic small-caps.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * Three packages which extend or provide LaTeX-2e interfaces for fonts already distributed as part of standard TeX distributions:&#xD;&#xA;   * [cfr-lm](http://ctan.org/pkg/cfr-lm) which provides extended access to the Latin Modern fonts e.g. italic small-caps, alternative widths and weights, upright italic and all four styles of figures.&#xD;&#xA;   * [cfr-initials](http://ctan.org/pkg/cfr-initials) which provides LaTeX packages supporting access to the various decorative fonts provided by [initials](http://ctan.org/pkg/initials).&#xD;&#xA;   * [ebgaramond-maths](http://ctan.org/pkg/ebgaramond-maths) which provides limited support for the use of EB Garamond 12 in maths mode and was originally a response to a question here.&#xD;&#xA; * Several packages which provide support for fonts from the Arkandis Digital Foundry (ADF), including type1 versions of the fonts themselves:&#xD;&#xA;   * [adforn](http://ctan.org/pkg/adforn)&#xD;&#xA;   * [adfsymbols](http://ctan.org/pkg/adfsymbols)&#xD;&#xA;   * [baskervaldadf](http://ctan.org/pkg/baskervaldadf)&#xD;&#xA;   * [berenisadf](http://ctan.org/pkg/berenisadf) (including specialist (i.e. hacked) support for the Welsh characters Ŵŵ and Ŷŷ)&#xD;&#xA;   * [electrumadf](http://ctan.org/pkg/electrumadf) (in all its many weights!)&#xD;&#xA;   * [libris](http://ctan.org/pkg/libris)&#xD;&#xA;   * [romandeadf](http://ctan.org/pkg/romandeadf)&#xD;&#xA;   * [venturisadf](http://ctan.org/pkg/venturisadf) (three serif and two sans serif families, including titling and swash)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm currently working on three 'proper' LaTeX packages (i.e. not fonts), two based on [forest](http://ctan.org/pkg/forest) and developed in response to questions here. Now the new version has been published to CTAN, I hope to update the code in my experimental versions and will upload **prooftrees** and **justtrees** as soon as I find the time to write documentation and the courage to do so.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, I sometimes use TikZ to draw [cats](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/39149/how-can-we-draw-a-christmas-tree-with-decorations-using-tikz/219610#219610) and [cauldrons](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/244368/tikz-draw-a-cooking-pot/244378#244378).

The first phase runs for five days, until 2100 GMT on 2016-02-01. Each person who wishes to be considered should post an answer, where they can (if they wish) say what makes them a good choice. They should then immediately delete their answer. Please don't vote on any answers during this phase: any votes cast will be ignored.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the second phase, all of the answers will be undeleted, and everyone should take a look at these answers and vote for deserving candidates: remember there are eight places available! Again, there will be five days to vote, ending 2100 GMT on 2016-02-06. At that stage, the top eight names will be forwarded to the StackExchange community staff for notification to TUG.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the event of a tie in number of votes, the mod team will decide which of the tied members are put forward to StackExchange. The mod team may also include additional names if at the end of the voting process there are fewer than eight nominees with positive scores.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Voting stage: Everyone is welcome to vote for as many or as few candidates as they wish.

As such, we can now restart the Community Promotion Ads for 2016!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keep in mind, we have updated some of the guidelines compared to previously - the changes are marked in bold in the Image Requirements section.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### What are Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - scripts packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**.

Text="StackExchange [continues to support TUG with corporate membership](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5897/annual-tex-user-group-membership-question-2015-edition) (many thanks). With that come eight individual memberships that can be given out to members of the community. The time has come to select our representatives for 2016. (See http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5905/tug-membership-names-for-2015 for last year's selection.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd like to ask people to put themselves forward. There are _no restrictions_ on standing other than having to be a member of the TeX StackExchange site. The existing 'representatives' are very welcome to put their names forward to continue. [Note: I've called the people we put forward 'representatives', but that's mainly because I can't think of a better term. Nominees should not feel the need to represent TeX-sx other than being members of the site and therefore interested in TeX in some way!]  There is _no need_ to have any particular level of site reputation, TeX experience or wider 'reason' to put yourself forward other than an interest in TeX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You may nominate others but the mod team will need confirmation from the nominee that they are happy before voting starts. The mod team will check this with any such nominees.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The model for selection of representatives is as follows. We will have a two stage process, first 'nomination' then 'election'. The first phase runs for five days, until 2100 GMT on 2016-02-01. Each person who wishes to be considered should post an answer, where they can (if they wish) say what makes them a good choice. They should then immediately delete their answer. Please don't vote on any answers during this phase: any votes cast will be ignored.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the second phase, all of the answers will be undeleted, and everyone should take a look at these answers and vote for deserving candidates: remember there are eight places available! Again, there will be five days to vote, ending 2100 GMT on 2016-02-06. At that stage, the top eight names will be forwarded to the StackExchange community staff for notification to TUG.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the event of a tie in number of votes, the mod team will decide which of the tied members are put forward to StackExchange. The mod team may also include additional names if at the end of the voting process there are fewer than eight nominees with positive scores.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Voting stage: Everyone is welcome to vote for as many or as few candidates as they wish. Remember that there are a total of eight places available to be selected. New nominations can be added during the voting phase.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the end of the voting period, the tallies were:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [cfr](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/39222/cfr), 30&#xD;&#xA;- [esdd](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/43317/esdd), 29&#xD;&#xA;- [michal.h21](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2891/michal-h21), 28&#xD;&#xA;- [Ignasi](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/1952/ignasi), 27&#xD;&#xA;- [Alenanno](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4778/alenanno), 26&#xD;&#xA;- [Przemysław Scherwentke](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/26134/przemys%C5%82aw-scherwentke), 24&#xD;&#xA;- [Zarko](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/18189/zarko), 24&#xD;&#xA;- [samcarter](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/36296/samcarter), 9&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are exactly eight names here, so all will be sent to the StackOverflow staff to be forwarded to TUG."

Text="It's 2016 now, and we've [made some changes to the sidebar size](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/272563/were-standardizing-the-sidebar-width-at-300px-on-all-sites). As such, we can now restart the Community Promotion Ads for 2016!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keep in mind, we have updated some of the guidelines compared to previously - the changes are marked in bold in the Image Requirements section.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### What are Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - scripts packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The question must always be tagged with the magic [meta-tag:community-ads] tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Image requirements&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The image that you create must be **300 x 250 pixels**, or double that if high DPI.&#xD;&#xA; - Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)&#xD;&#xA; - Must be GIF or PNG&#xD;&#xA; - No animated GIFs&#xD;&#xA; - Absolute limit on file size of **150 kB**&#xD;&#xA; - **If the background of the image is white or partially white, there must be a 1px border (2px if high DPI) surrounding it.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Score Threshold&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a **minimum score threshold** an answer must meet (currently **6**) before it will be shown on the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats [here][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/ads/display/6473" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="I don't think there's any particular time that one should start answering questions, and as the site become more mature, it may be harder to find questions to answer at your level that don't already have answers on the site. But there are various other ways in which you can contribute, without directly answering questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Vote!&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [Voting for both questions and answers is helpful](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/why-vote). This doesn't mean you should vote indiscriminately (especially on answers) but if you find answers that you learned something from, vote for them and their associated question (usually).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Find duplicates&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If a new question looks quite simple or is something that resonates with you as a relative beginner, it's likely there's an answer already on the site. It's helpful to do some searching yourself and find an appropriate duplicate or related question and leave a link in the comments. There is also a really nice StackApp to make such commenting more user friendly.  See http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2475/2693.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Help with tagging&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Tagging is a bit of an art that requires some experience, but it is definitely helpful to remove clearly inaccurate tags and search for more appropriate ones.  For some advice on tagging see:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1931/2693&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/302/2693&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Read the documentation&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- It's astonishing how many questions can be answered by carefully reading and understanding the existing documentation to a package.  As [percusse](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/users/3235/percusse) recently described himself: &quot;Turning the TikZ manual into rep points since 2011&quot;. (Admittedly a self-deprecating and undeserved description, but most of us have benefited from exactly this kind of answer.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Try to add answers anyway as your experience increases&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- There's a lot to be learned from trying to answer questions, and especially on this site most users will comment on answers to improve them rather than just downvoting them or posting new answers that are only slight improvements on yours. And there's also the Delete button, if you really post something that's not very helpful." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="When you ask a question by clicking on the **Ask Question** link in the TeX.SX banner:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;or edit an existing question, the post header or toolbar will include the available (basic) formatting options. By clicking the `Image &lt;img&gt; Ctrl+G` button ![Insert image button][2] or by pressing &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;G&lt;/kbd&gt; allows you to select an image for upload to [stack.imgur.com](http://stack.imgur.com/) - the image hosting platform (pronounced like [image-er; imager](http://imgur.com/faq#pronounce)) for the Stack Exchange network:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will bring up the `Insert an image` dialog, where you can select an image to be uploaded &quot;from my computer&quot; or &quot;from the web&quot; (via a web link):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some browsers allow you to drag-and-drop images, while others allow you to copy-and-paste an image from the clipboard (as shown in the above dialog). Whether you upload an image from your local (computer) or a remote (the web) location, the image will be uploaded to i.stack.imgur.com, and displayed in your post as:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][#]&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now you can do as it says and `enter [an] image description here`.  This goes in the `alt` attribute of the resulting `img` tag so is useful for text browsers (including screen readers and search engines) or people viewing the page on a slow connection. The accompanying number cites the appropriate reference at the bottom of the post, where you will also see the stack.imgur.com image link. These numerals are used by default, but can be modified as well, as long as the cited numeral is changed as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Why should one use this approach?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Submission using this method [has been available since August 2010](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/08/new-image-upload-support/) and is the preferred way to upload images. Using any other method (for example, manual upload) would cause the images to be removed over time. Also, linking to an external web image is not preferred, since future image removal on the linked site would leave a broken link on TeX.SX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## I'm being told that I cannot insert an image. What now?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;New or low-reputation users are unable to post images; a [privilege](http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/new-user) available to users with at least 10 reputation. Note: you are able to upload images, just not post them - there is a difference. As such, upload the image as usual and remove the preceding `!`. Other community members and moderators with [edit privileges](http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/edit) will be able to revert the removal of `!` in order to embed the image in your post. That is, leave your uploaded image in the following format in your post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    [Your image description](https://i.stack.imgur.com/&lt;filename&gt;)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The &quot;site janitors&quot; will clean this up very quickly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## I've uploaded an image, now I'd like to crop it.

For more information, see http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1799/how-do-you-crop-an-attached-pdf&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## What image types are supported for upload?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The following file types are uploadable (as per the [imgur FAQ](http://imgur.com/faq#types)): JPEG, GIF, PNG, APNG, TIFF, BMP, PDF, XCF (GIMP). Note that the TIFF, BMP, PDF and XCF formats will be converted to PNG on upload.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## I have a large-format image that I want to upload. Is there a limit?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The display engine of the Stack Exchange network shrinks the image to fit within the horizontal boundary of the post, regardless of its size. However, there is a file limit. According to the [imgur FAQ](http://imgur.com/faq#size):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The maximum non-animated file size you can upload is 10MB. However, if&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the image is over 1MB then it will automatically be compressed or&#xD;&#xA;&gt; resized to 1MB, for better viewing on the net. The maximum animated&#xD;&#xA;&gt; file size (both GIF and PNG) is 2MB.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The downsized display of my large-format image is suboptimal. How do I display it at 100% zoom?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the original uploaded image is not resized at upload, you can link to it. This would allow users to view it at full resolution in their browser (or elsewhere). Here's how: Assuming that you uploaded an image&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;![A picture that is quite large][7]&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;you could make it a hyperlink by using the StackExchange markdown&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;[![A picture that is quite large][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Can I add tooltip text to my uploaded image?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes.

This one is better than most others since the original asker has very clearly tried writing a substantial part of the code himself. Maybe we should give credit since ultimately his customizations required TikZ, but he wrote most of the code in another package himself.&#xD;&#xA;- [How to create a timeline without integer numbers for events?](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/272541/how-to-create-a-timeline-without-integer-number-for-events?rq=1) This one is worse since it doesn't really demonstrate whether the asker has put any effort at all into the question. The asker also asks for specific requirements in the accepted answer's comments which the answerer has to edit his question to fit. Granted they are not substantial but still. &#xD;&#xA;- [Turn off caption prefix WITHOUT using caption package](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/301742/turn-off-caption-prefix-without-using-caption-package). This is one of my own. Yes, I'm guilty of this myself. I didn't write any code to even _try_ to figure it out, I just asked. As you can see this question's comments pan out similarly to the comments in the one above, with me continuously demanding requirements from `egreg` (the answerer) to fit my specific needs. I didn't need to put any effort into it except copy-pasting his code into my document. And this time, the edits to fit the requirements are substantial and require (a lot of) thought.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm sure there are plenty more.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, what do you think about this? If you agree that such questions should be discouraged, why? How exactly should we word it and implement it? If you disagree, why?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks!" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

From what I can see, some of the freelancers seem to have really solid reviews and even have examples of their work. You can also post your &quot;project&quot; and have freelancers bid on it (but stick with the LaTeX tag only; otherwise, you'll end up with a LOT of bids from freelancers who know nothing about it). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As an alternative to this, it really would be nice to have somewhere on here as a &quot;LaTeX-for-hire&quot; job listing forum. The [TUG jobboard](https://www.tug.org/jobboard.html) seems to be pretty dead (no new jobs since July 2014), and [their consultant listing](http://www.tug.org/consultants.html) seems to be mainly geared towards heavy/intense/professional jobs. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as I can see, the freelancer website seems to be the best place for getting smaller jobs done (although they can do big ones as well, but I would rather have bigger jobs done by a professional with their own website or an owner of a prominent LaTeX package, etc). There really should be an SE alternative to this for smaller jobs (not for [huge ones](http://careers.stackoverflow.com/)) IMO, or at least a LaTeX-specific one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:** I just finished a project I assigned to someone I hired on there, and he did a pretty good job! There was a *lot* of back-and-forth communication to make sure the TikZ pictures (in my case) came out the way I wanted them to, but the person I hired at least (can't speak for others) worked pretty hard to make sure I was satisfied. There are some PhD students on there, but I just hired a physics grad student.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, you don't pay for the entire project at once, you actually just give a small deposit fee first, and don't pay them more until they give you deliverables/updates half way (you can customise this to set more milestones than just halfway too). This is a good thing since you don't have to worry *as much* about money going to waste. Of course, as Johannes said, with freelancers you never know what you'll get, but I think this system helps minimise the risks of that (with the payment structure I mentioned). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that this is just *my* experience, but I think if you choose a freelancer wisely you can end up with similar results. I should also say I don't work for the website or anything like that, I was just desperate to get some drawings done for a (overdue) paper and that's why I used them.

However, this does not seem to be the case here, at TEX.SE.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Are there any, (if so, then what?) technical obstacles in implementing a justified text to a website? One possibility I could think of is that justification might require extra resources (i.e. slows things down).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Are there any typographical reasons against using justified text in online media?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is left-aligned text the *best* choice for an online typographical site, and is this the state-of-the art? There is really nothing better to do? Is the site TEX.SE an *exemplary* online media site, based on its typographical outlook? If the consensus is, that automatic/mandatory justification cannot work, would it be possible to format existing/new posts, where appropriate, to justified text? Would such a feature-request would make any sense, and would anyone actually support such a feature request? Again, it seems to me that the width of the posts and comments are fixed, so window-resizing wouldn't cause things to go crazy.

When used without a computational overhead almost always leads to poor results (for example any Microsoft Word version until the last one 2013 I guess) the reason is that the user base has ridiculously diverse text sizes and you have to make sure that the display is uniform across all platforms. That implies that there must be a TeX like dynamic engine (that is what Kindle, Kobo etc. has) that handles the justification. That then implies that page loading becomes more resource demanding. That implies a lot of other problems in terms of user experience, for example screen resizing; you can't make them wait just to resize the screen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead you just leave it unjustified and HTML rendering does a simple if doesn't fit break it to the next line job. Personally I don't like justified text as it is often visible to see the stretched out spaces in between words (unless I typeset stuff with TeX which tries a lot to make things smooth). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Text justification problems appear on many places if you spend some time on google. Here is one after half a minute of searching &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://www.pws-ltd.com/sections/articles/2009/justified_text.html&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are also other issues with hypenation etc. in the narrow column context ala news portals and so on but an expert can tell more about it.

There are also some FAQs (like the famous and repeatable asked how-to-place-my-figure-here question) which need to be linked to the appropriate existing question. Sometimes I have issues finding the related question quickly even if I already linked to it a couple of times before.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I thought it would be good to have a collection of such often references questions sorted after topic in a meta post similar to our create [Text building blocks](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/430).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions should be listed after topic. Every topic as CW answer to this post.&#xD;&#xA;Please use the following format:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ## Topic Headline at Start of Answer Post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * [question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;) [2 spaces] [linebreak]&#xD;&#xA;     ``[question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/&lt;question id&gt;)``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This way the question is provided as link (for quick access from this page) as well as markdown code suitable for comments (and as in-line link in a chat message). The URL can be received by using the `link` link below a question. There is also an [stackapps app](http://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](http://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format. The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`. The first order headlines are a little to large IMHO.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

On sites with a similar age and questions-per-day turnover as Tex.SE such as [Physics](http://physics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Electrical Engineering](http://electronics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all), the top two rows of users have much less reputation than here.

Either way, TeX.SE must either have (a) much more rep (hence also votes) to go around as other comparable sites, or (b) a much more skewed rep distribution curve. [This query](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/206518/reputation-histogram-log-log-scale#graph) sort of vaguely supports the latter but then again you'd have to be quite careful with your comparisons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now, though, I want to ask this community what you think this says about this site.

As Tom and David mentioned in the comments, we just upvote. Even if one feels the urge to downvote a question or an answer, we encourage different approaches, like leaving a comment to help make the content better or point crass errors, or simply do not upvote the content at all (but still pointing what is going on). A question or answer that shows effort always deserves an upvote. And even in the rare cases where a question or an answer gets a downvote, we never ever downvote it below the score of `-1`. It's quite difficult to recover from mass negative score, so if we act like this, we kill all the chances of the user to coming back to track and fix the content.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. We have a voting squad. Good questions and answers deserve attention and appraisal. Sometimes, due to some unexpected traffic on the front page, we lose good threads, so there's a team to point out such questions and answers in order to give them the attention they deserve. We want every user in here to feel welcome.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 3. When upvoting good answers, the threads get off the list of unanswered threads in this site, so upvoting good content also helps the janitorial work. There's even a monthly session to discuss unanswered questions in order to provide answers or upvote content.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 4. I was the top voter of the entire StackExchange universe, so I am partially culprit for serial upvoting lots and lots of questions and answers in here. I had to refrain from voting because I was causing a lot of headaches to my friends's reputations (as the StackExchange serial voting detection algorithm was going bonkers with my voting pattern). I might even consider going back to the game and start giving these StackExchange blokes a good run for their money.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Addendum:** I think the most important bit when talking about high users and reputation here at TeX.sx is: *we do not care about reputation*. Clearly, reputation gives us some sort of helpful tools in order to keep the site clean and under control, but we do not care about numbers. We even make recurring jokes in the chatroom about reputation and how fond we are about palindromic occurrences. Also, my credit card. Reputation does not reflect much in here, we only like to have fun with `!!/battle` once in a while. The point is: we want to make everybody feel welcome, so we do not &quot;punish&quot; bad content, we encourage learning and improvement over time, through self-discovery and a warm poking from this friendly community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And cfr is absolutely right: everything is explained by ducks.

Since we received very positive feedback from our beloved users, the **TeXtalk** became a regular event in our community blog.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our interviews are also indexed in the [TUG Interview Corner](http://www.tug.org/interviews/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's quite simple, actually. `:)` We have a [dedicated chatroom for interviewing our members](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728). We schedule a time with the interviewee and everybody is invited to join the TeXtalk chatroom and submit questions. It's a very friendly conversation!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# I missed the interview! What do I do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not despair, post-interview questions and remarks are welcome! `:)` We usually wait a couple of days, then &quot;lock&quot; the interview. We want to give our members the opportunity to read the chatroom transcript and add their own remarks or even submit questions to the interviewee. The format is working marvellously well so far. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have a team of reviewers that put every bit of the interview in the correct order, so we can easily adjust the comments. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How is the next interviewee chosen?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we think it's time to have another interview (usually twice a month), we ask our interview committee to suggest names.

It seems to me that almost all users of Debian-derived OSes have two options when it comes to installing LaTeX packages: (1) using the native sources (including the recent [backport](http://askubuntu.com/q/163682/31420) in the case of Ubuntu 12.04 [or [here](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/58779/8528)]); or (2) installing TL from CTAN.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There seem to be several questions (e.g., [here](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/32962/8528), [here](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/38978/8528), [here](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/39771/8528), [here](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/40083/8528), [here](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/56900/8528)) , however, that ask how to install some package for Ubuntu users, and they all end up making the same two points: use option (1) or (2).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, wouldn't it be useful to 'centralize' all these questions and make one big, general one that lays out these two options and their respective benefits (although not many people favor [1])?  Then all these other questions could be closed with a link to the more general question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For what it's worth, http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/28528/8528 might serve as the general question, and then we could close everything else.  (Although I have no idea if we can/should close old questions with accepted answers....)  However, it seems to me that a question with more unbiased answers would be better: i.e., instead of saying, 'don't do (1), do (2)', each answer lays out one option and all its benefits and drawbacks.&#xA;&#xA;---&#xA;&#xA;The &quot;universal question&quot; on the main site is: http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/73016/86" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access).

This naturally enables them to answer 'any' question on TeX related topics and get the upvotes and reputation by a corresponding accept. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Concerning other programming languages etc. I doubt that there are many core developers active on SE. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit(1): Although I have a rather high reputation meanwhile by myself I don't regard myself as a top user on TeX.SX of course. I am only a LaTeX user that develops packages (with limited usability ;-)) and use LaTeX to create my worksheets to teach Math and Physics. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit(2): `cfr` is of course right with her statement that a package author can provide a single, very popular package, that enables him/her to answer many related questions and getting a high reputation count. &#xD;&#xA;I used the term 'prolific' to include this cases as well - the author contributes by maintenance, documentation of a single package as well, in this case he/she is prolific as well. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other refer to the 'We vote much' attitude of this SE site, so I don't have to repeat that.

What a “good way” is probably depends on my approach to TeX/LaTeX; if I see an answer written the way I'd write it, it's obvious upvoting it. I always vote for answerers who show skills I don't have (the TikZ area, in particular).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Am I wrong? I don't think so. Leaving a good answer at zero score just because the OP accepted another one is silly. Even a not so good one, but which could be improved (I also add a comment, of course).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I rarely downvote: some cases *do* need a downvote, because the answer is blatantly wrong or the question is very ill-posed.

  <row Id="19267" PostHistoryTypeId="5" PostId="6636" RevisionGUID="9b7189c0-5d5e-41cc-a137-d072ca6542e4" CreationDate="2016-05-30T17:10:13.777" UserId="13423" Comment="added 2193 characters in body" Text="This is something that I've found vaguely weird about this site for some time: the [reputations of top users](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) are insanely high here. Today I got curious and went to other big sites on the network, and this site does feel anomalous: the top users on [Super User](http://superuser.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Server Fault](http://serverfault.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) would make 7th and 13th here, despite both sites being [rather older](http://stackexchange.com/sites) and with a higher turnover in terms of questions per day. On sites with a similar age and questions-per-day turnover as Tex.SE such as [Physics](http://physics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Electrical Engineering](http://electronics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all), the top two rows of users have much less reputation than here. You have to go to [Mathematics](http://math.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) to find something comparable, among sites with a similar age, but they're churning through something like seven times as many questions as here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, it's quite possible that in terms of total amounts of reputation things are a bit more in line, but there I don't quite have the statistics chops to make a meaningful comparison. Either way, TeX.SE must either have (a) much more rep (hence also votes) to go around as other comparable sites, or (b) a much more skewed rep distribution curve. [This query](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/206518/reputation-histogram-log-log-scale#graph) sort of vaguely supports the latter but then again you'd have to be quite careful with your comparisons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now, though, I want to ask this community what you think this says about this site. Does this strike you as a reasonable observation? What would you attribute it to?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's a strong emphasis in the responses on the total number of votes, and I don't think I quite buy it. It is [very easy](http://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/492368/total-upvotes-and-downvotes) to query for the total upvotes and downvotes in a site, and the data isn't at all unambiguous. For the comparisons above, it currently looks like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;            TeX.SE   Super User   Server Fault   Physics        EE    Mathematics&#xD;&#xA;      ↑  1,440,460    1,964,282      1,261,362   575,663   466,268      3,511,289&#xD;&#xA;      ↓     17,360      254,889        168,570    91,254    78,871        380,931&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From this, there's a few points worth emphasizing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Compared to sites equivalent in age and current turnover, Physics and Electrical Engineering, TeX.SE does have way more upvotes around.&#xD;&#xA; - Similarly, the downvote count does seem rather low compared to everyone else.&#xD;&#xA; - However, SuperUser has a lot less rep on the top pages than TeX.SE... but it still has sizably more upvotes in the database.&#xD;&#xA; - The site with a comparable leaderboard, Mathematics, has more than twice the total rep.&#xD;&#xA; - While SU and SF do have more downvotes than TeX.SE, the negative effect of downvotes on rep is 1/5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of an upvote, and the count of (upvotes - 0.2 downvotes) for SU is still higher than the total upvotes of TeX.SE.&#xD;&#xA; - That means that explanations along the lines of &quot;we don't downvote&quot; that don't address that ratio have rather low explanatory power.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For me, that says that there also needs to be more concentration of rep on the top tiers, which ties in with (and provides evidence for) http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1867/should-high-rep-users-hang-back-a-little.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, just to be clear,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Yes, rep is just fake internet points and ultimately doesn't matter. However, metrics like these do carry a nontrivial amount of information about each community and they are a reflection of the informal culture in the group.&#xD;&#xA; - Along similar lines, most of the comments saying 'it doesn't matter' and the like seem to come mostly from people whose experience on the SE network is here or on StackOverflow, and who may not be in a position to see just how crazy-high that rep board looks like. Trust me - it's anomalously high, and very much so. Hence this question. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I always appreciated the feedback I got.  I don't think I can remember even once when I got a disparaging remark, though there've been a few times I've revisited old questions or answers of mine and wished I could bury my head in the sand out of shame.  Yet the comments are generally very supportive, sometimes even full of praise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Currently, I've just sort of been hovering in the background.  My life has taken a turn so I have less time to participate here.  And yet, I do come back---if not daily, at least 4 or 5 times a week to see what's going on.  And, I continue to vote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you build a community that is positive, encouraging, sympathetic, and truly supportive, people will stick around and keep coming back.

I am only a LaTeX user that develops packages (with limited usability ;-)) and use LaTeX to create my worksheets to teach Math and Physics. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit(2): `cfr` is of course right with her statement that a package author can provide a single, very popular package, that enables him/her to answer many related questions and getting a high reputation count. &#xD;&#xA;I used the term 'prolific' to include this cases as well - the author contributes by maintenance, documentation of a single package as well, in this case he/she is prolific as well. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other refer to the 'We vote much' attitude of this SE site, so I don't have to repeat that. But the `voting` system is a little bit biased, in my point of view. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit (3):&#xD;&#xA;I just wanted to add that although I have some high reputation by now this was just by kind upvoting of many more kind users and by reading their posts (and answers). I was a skilled LaTeX end user before coming to TeX.SX, but I learned so much here in about 3 years compared to 15 years of LaTeX usage before. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Ducks are closely related to swans and geese, which are in the same family. The main difference is that ducks have shorter necks, and are smaller.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other swimming and diving birds, like grebes and loons, are sometimes called ducks, but they are not. A baby duck is called a duckling, and a male duck is called a drake. Most ducks are aquatic birds. They can be found in both saltwater and fresh water.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ducks lay eggs once a year and are omnivorous, eating aquatic plants and tiny animals. Dabbling ducks feed on the surface of water or on land, or as deep as they can reach by up-ending without completely submerging. Along the edge of the beak there is a comb-like structure called a pecten. This strains the water squirting from the side of the beak and traps any food. The pecten is also used to preen feathers.[2] Diving ducks dive deep to get their food.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Many ducks are migratory. This means that they spend the summer months in a different place than the winter months. Ducks show a cosmopolitan distribution, they can be found all over the world, except for Antarctica. Some duck species live on the South Georgia and Auckland Islands, which are subantarctic. Many species have established themselves on remote islands, such as Kerguelen or Hawaii.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some ducks are bred and kept by humans. They are not wild ducks. They are kept to provide food (meat and eggs), or to use their feathers for pillows and other items in the house. Especially in Asia, many people like to eat duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ducks are sometimes kept as pets. They are often kept by groups of people on public ponds for their beauty and calming nature. People commonly feed ducks in ponds stale bread, thinking that the ducks will like to have something to eat. However bread is not healthy for ducks and can kill them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/dkTpB.gif" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our second lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 March, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered.

Keeping decorative chickens and quails at many points in time, and also consuming foie gras with great pleasure!

The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 March, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;

I think sadly, not.&#xD;&#xA;I'm not sure to check on my [answered question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/311721/how-can-i-place-a-1-cm-margin-to-a-set-pdf-book-a6-to-print) as ok because it seems that, _unintentionally, **I made a trick question_**: cause the answers are always going to be flawed. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That is, on the one hand, it's possible to get a scaled result as required, and it's also possible to not change the original pdf... However, on the other hand, to keep design proportions it'd be needed to eliminate too much white spaces in the margins (literally cutting with scissor/cutter the physical paper off). This was not intended as end result, but there was no awareness on my side that this w/could happen in the beginning.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hence, if one wants an a6 paper printed in the end and asks how to add offset for a6 result (keeping proportions! Heck, we're in LaTeX here!) one of two bad things are bound to happen. Or either things get shrinked and out of proportion (yuck), or else the end result needs severe trimming (yikes) which was not contemplated before nor seems acceptable in the community either. How to give **feedback on a paradox?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On another note, the post got some nice feedback that was and still is very useful to me. It's a topic that would do well if it can get some good canonical answers. This is why I didn't incline much to deleting the post." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016**! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our second lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 March, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;

The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access).

Text="One of the greatest things about the users providing answers on this site is that their experience frequently leads them to answer questions with insights about what the original poster &quot;intended to&quot; or &quot;should have&quot; asked.  I can't even count the number of times this has proved helpful to me in improving my understanding of how a specific package or TeX in general works.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course every rule has an exception and occasionally I would love to be able to prompt the community to answer the question that was asked (even if it already solved the original posters question (who also may no longer be active on the site)) so that I don't have to create a duplicate question that is tap dancing around the wording to create a new distinct question. How should I go about doing this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Here are some of the thoughts I have had:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I don't think that leaving a comment to the authors of the answer are&#xD;&#xA;&gt; necessarily going to be productive because:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The expertise behind the answer may not have lent itself to answer the broader question, hence the version that was provided.&#xD;&#xA;- The author may no longer be active&#xD;&#xA;- Comments don't re-add old questions to the to the front page to receive some attention from contributors.&#xD;&#xA;- Far (less likely (particularly on this branch of stack overflow) and I don't want to offend anyone) but some folks are reputation oriented and if they can't get an accepted answer are less likely to add their own spin on a question with an accepted answer and an OP who has left the site and can't change their mind about the best answer that has been provided.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I would leave a bounty with a comment on the original question, but&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The lead time and upvotes that the accepted solution may already have may discourage anyone who is motivated by the bounty&#xD;&#xA;- I am currently trying to build my rep because I want to be able to contribute to the moderation of this site&#xD;&#xA;- For the same reason I want to help moderate the site (and may be evident with some of my other meta questions) I may be a little compulsive about organization and closing duplicates, or porting between sites so that they are organized in the right place for users to be able to find and make use of them...   So I am pretty strongly opposed to knowingly creating a duplicate even for my own benefit because that doesn't help keep the site usable (long term).  It's getting hard enough to find answers from google because of all these duplicates with only subtle difference in the wordings.  And I wish I could be part of a moderation effort to help alleviate this problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Edits could be made to the question to reflect the answer that was&#xD;&#xA;&gt; accepted, allowing for the creation for a duplicate of the &quot;original&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; but current version of that question&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- This just strikes me as inappropriate, Just because it worked, doesn't mean the OP doesn't deserve the credit for trying to answer a broad question.&#xD;&#xA;- It will cost an obsessive compulsive like myself extra time&#xD;&#xA;- the real solution is seems to be the need of a way to reopen a question to &quot;The question as is wasn't answered, and still has interest even if it's not the OP's interest&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I hope the above is sufficiently detailed to be clear and not a duplicate of either (the answers I didn't find entirely useful to each of these questions is in my lists above):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3780/how-to-go-about-resurrecting-an-old-question-that-already-has-an-accepted-answer &#xD;&#xA;- http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3692/resurrecting-old-questions-without-being-flagged-as-duplicate&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And I apologize for the obvious inconsistency here in asking this question which is clearly not a new issue!"

The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access).

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016**! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our second lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 March, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016**! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our second lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 March, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;

The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access).

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016**! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our second lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 March, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;

And I think this help is generally appreciated by those users, since it makes their question more understandable to all. I don't really see why typographical practice shouldn't fall under the same rubric. I find it unlikely that a French speaker who puts spaces before punctuation out of habit of writing in French is *deliberately* using such practice when writing in English, just as they are not *deliberately* making any other kind of English error. This again is different from the case of British vs. American spelling conventions, which for some of us are quite conscious decisions." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access).

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016**! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our second lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 March, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016**! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our second lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 March, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;

The winning number was **3**, picked by **R. Schumacher**. Thanks everybody for joining the contest!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;'ello, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, ducks and mallards, children of all ages! It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016**! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our second lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 March, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;

I don't really notice it, except on two occasions: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* When I see an [Ishihara plate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishihara_test).&#xD;&#xA;* When hyperlinks are styled using **only** a color that normal people have no trouble distinguishing from non-hyperlinked text, but which I do. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For an example of what I mean, see any TeX.SX post with a hyperlink ([here's](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/315532/bblmainlanguage-error-in-biblatex) one of my own). For another example, see [Talking Points Memo](http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/welp-that-s-weird-but-of-course-it-is).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This isn't the biggest deal in the world, but it can be rather frustrating. Sometimes it is clear from the context where a hyperlink is, and all is well. Sometimes it is clear that there is a hyperlink, but unclear where it is; this requires a bit of searching. Sometimes none of this is true, and I have to hover over nearly every bit of text groping for possible links; that's annoying. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are a couple ways this might be addressed. Different color schemes could be used, but there are other kinds of colorblindness that would need to be kept in mind, and so this solution is not very robust. Even better, some other kind of formatting could be added to links (e.g., underlining), or the link color could have a different intrinsic brightness from the main text (so even the totally colorblind could make out where the links were; I believe the TeX.SX Meta links are like this)."

Adding to this may help increase the number of questions with MWE.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, a more direct approach may give better results. If the OP tries to post a question without the text `\begin{document}` in it, a warning can be issued. This warning should be polite to cover cases where a MWE is not necessary.

But remember: even comments should be relevant to the post, and can be [flagged as noise](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/17364/how-does-comment-voting-and-flagging-work) if they are not, so this is not recommended.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my experience TeX.SE is one of the most friendly and welcoming sites on the SE network, so you probably won't get into too much trouble using comments for this purpose here. Nonetheless, you should be advised that &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * users are well within their rights to flag such comments for deletion (e.g. as &quot;not constructive&quot;)&#xD;&#xA; * moderators might decide to take action if you do it too much (e.g. the users you contact start to complain)&#xD;&#xA; * you might be more likely to get into trouble on other sites in the SE network that are less friendly &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you decide to use chat, your best bet is probably the [TeX.SE main chat room](https://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/info/41/tex-latex-and-friends). From there you can link to your question and possibly ping a specific user (post a chat message with `@username`, though that only works if the user has been in chat recently). You can also invite a specific user to a chat room from his/her chat profile.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're looking to get attention for your question, the system you're really looking for is the [bounty system](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/16065/299342). From the answer to the Meta.SE FAQ on the bounty system (emphasis added):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; A bounty is a special reputation award given to answers. **This feature was designed to motivate answerers, and help questions get the answers they deserve**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You have to spend your own reputation (at least 50) to post a bounty, but in exchange your question is put on the highly visible [feature tab](http://tex.stackexchange.com/?tab=featured) for the duration of the bounty (up to 1 week). Furthermore, as [@Christian Hupfer](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/a/6812/61108) mentioned, you might be able to convince a kind high-rep TeX.SE user to offer the bounty for you."

There are a number of reasons why TeX.se exists, and StackOverflow is not the best place for asking TeX related questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. First and foremost, the Stack Exchange model is based on user choices: new sites can be proposed by anyone on the [Area 51 site][1] and if the site gains enough visitors, questions and answers, it gets promoted to being a full Stackexchange site.  For TeX.se, this happened almost 5 years ago. The site was proposed, and very quickly there was strong support for it.  Ultimately this is the only answer to your question: there's no need to use Stack Overflow since TeX.se exists and is strongly supported. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. TeX is not really a markup language, but a fully fledged programming language, albeit one designed with typesetting in mind.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. StackOverflow is aimed mainly at programmers, but most TeX *users* are not TeX *programmers*, since the goal of TeX is to produce documents, not to program things.  The questions that are addressed here are therefore not mainly about programming, but about how to achieve particular document output.  Of course, since TeX *is* a programming language, we also have programming questions, but these are in some sense the minority.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://area51.stackexchange.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'll put some bounty as I have enough rep.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, this resulted in an answer at once (thanks, Pouya, I hope someone tests it soon). I therefore asked myself two questions, which I want to pass further to you:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Is that the correct way to manipulate here or should I wait for &quot;answer the unanswered&quot; days, minor edits which have to be proofed by high-rep users, or (worst in my eyes) exact duplicates?&#xD;&#xA;- Should we think about some better approach on helping in such cases, as pointing to bounties does not help our new guests a lot? They can not even participate in chat or comment on the OP. Can't we improve the sentence &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; This does not really answer the question. If you have a different question, you can ask it by clicking Ask Question. You can also add a bounty to draw more attention to this question once you have enough reputation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   in order to help a bit more, and how?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It would be cool, if new users could show their interest in some unanswered topic and ask the richies here for some bounty-partnership as I just have given. But I can't figure out some clever way on how to do that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Well, at least I just did formulate my plea to all of you that flagging, deleting, and commenting such &quot;requests for assistance&quot; could be followed by some generous donation from your bulging rep-wallet."

There is never a single way of doing things in TeX and every documentclass is nuanced (for better or worse). Because of this every question has the high probability that the dupe won't work. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, most TeX newcomers are obsessed with shorthand notations (under the impression that TeX works like C,Java, Python...) and often their shorthand macros break stuff in common packages due to picking a common macro name or defining fragile commands, moving arguments etc. or basically don't work. Though their question might seem like a duplicate, the underlying problem is usually different.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Blindly closing questions based on title or content just makes unnecessary noise such as *I've read the other question but it's not working in my case* and *why is this KOMA example not working in memoir* etc. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our gold badge users also have a good nose for duplicates and they use the duplicate-closing power sparingly. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lastly, due to some fortunate coincidence, users here tend to give ridiculously complete answers and others get out of the way.

The URL can be received by using the `link` link below a question. There is also an [stackapps app](http://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](http://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format.

You have high chance of getting an answer. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  2. You ask in the other hours, but because there are not many people online for the same reason, there not many questions either. Hence, in morning of the same people of the previous bunch, your question is still on the list. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So in terms of getting an answer it doesn't matter.

However, it was decided that his still is a moderator-only privilege.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This was again suggested as part of a [30k+ privilege](http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/252691/168244) under the umbrella of comment moderation, with the following addendum:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;... I think comment moderation is mostly a waste of time. I'd much rather let the system handle comments. Unfortunately, there are already so many comments that should have been edits (or even answers) instead that we can't blindly hide/delete old comments. Creating this privilege will mean committing to manual comment moderation for the foreseeable future. Comment moderation is tedious and unrewarding so I'd rather have our top users do something more productive with their time.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Closing argument: If you really feel an answer of a new-user is better-suited as a comment, make a comment in that regard and flag it for moderator attention.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;Note that your request here speaks to the design of the user experience and is therefore not really limited to this site.

For example, if you post a 50 points bounty and the question then shoots straight to the top of the homepage and spends a weak on the featured tab, it could easily get 5 or 10 upvotes, which would repay 50-100% of the bounty. Recouping 250 or 500 points is much harder, though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Secondly, if you post the bounty on your own question, the idea is really that you're doing it because you want to get a really good answer - the forthcoming answers should then be your reward, not meaningless rep points.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If (as you don't seem to bring up in your question) you don't actually get the answers you're hoping for, that is unfortunate. However, the word 'bounty' has always been a bit of a misnomer, it's really more of an advertisement. You've put up your rep, your question has been given attention, people have been given the incentive, and that comes at a rep price. You can't undo the fact that it went to the top of the homepage and took its place on the featured tab.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If, of course, you post the bounty on somebody else's question, well that is supposed to be a charitable act, an act of generosity. Also, again, either you post the bounty because you really want to know the answer to the question as well (in which case the answers are the reward, again), or you're trying to help or reward somebody else.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To my satisfaction, at least, 2 is also essentially covered there. You put up the bounty that you think it's fair to pay. If you then get an answer, well fantastic, that's what you put the bounty up for, isn't it? You can award it quickly, or you can wait it out and allow yourself the possibility of being surprised by an even better answer that might yet come along." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The minimal answer to this question is&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[UKenglish]{babel}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[useregional]{datetime2}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \DTMlangsetup[en-GB]{ord=raise,monthyearsep={,\space}}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    \today&#xD;&#xA;    \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, this question provided a slightly modified MWE from the first. When I answered it, I automatically converted the date storage command used in the MWE, so the OP was able to correctly deduce the answer to the other question from it and posted the solution, but the question was then closed as a duplicate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There was no discussion about the questions being duplicates before the answer was posted, and the first answer to be posted in the second question certainly doesn't answer the first question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm sure I've seen other questions where an answer has taken a subset of code from another answer (although I can't remember examples off the top of my head), follow-on questions quite often contain code from an earlier answer, and if the OP had posted one question with two parts (storing and displaying) it might've triggered an &quot;ask one question per post&quot; comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What's the reasoning behind the close vote when there are plenty of follow-on questions that expand on an answer to an earlier question?"

I am only a LaTeX user that develops packages (with limited usability ;-)) and use LaTeX to create my worksheets to teach Math and Physics. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit(2): `cfr` is of course right with her statement that a package author can provide a single, very popular package, that enables him/her to answer many related questions and getting a high reputation count. &#xD;&#xA;I used the term 'prolific' to include this cases as well - the author contributes by maintenance, documentation of a single package as well, in this case he/she is prolific as well. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other refer to the 'We vote much' attitude of this SE site, so I don't have to repeat that. But the `voting` system is a little bit biased, in my point of view. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit (3):&#xD;&#xA;I just wanted to add that although I have some high reputation by now this was just by kind upvoting of many more kind users and by reading their posts (and answers). I was a skilled LaTeX end user before coming to TeX.SX, but I learned so much here in about 3 years compared to 15 years of LaTeX usage before. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit (4): We have some strange downvoters here as well " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In this way a normal code block is be shown as code, which is indeed the most sensible behaviour for this site. However, if the user wants, the output can be shown as well. For example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    # \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    # \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    # Hello World&#xD;&#xA;    # \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Analogous to the syntax for block quotes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This would save time for almost every time you post an answer where you want to include a screenshot of the output. Creating a new file, copying the MWE, compiling, making the screenshot, cropping, saving, uploading sometimes takes me more time than answering the question itself (for example with answers like &quot;use `\phantom`&quot;) and I do this for practically every answer. Another use case is in-line code, like &quot;the `$\sum_{\alpha\in\{-5,-10\}\cup\mathbb{Z}^+}$` is not aligned with the `$\sum_\beta$`&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TeX.SE could support for example something analoguous to the `texlive-full` package in Ubuntu. This supports almost everything. If the result is different from what the OP or the answerer has on his own system, then he can choose to show a screenshot instead. If the question or answer depends on a specific engine, command line options, fonts installed, ..., then a screenshot can be used. But in the many, many cases where the setup doesn't matter, the users can benefit from a compilation feature." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If a post *adds* value, cast your vote. If that addition is negative or useless, downvote; if it's positive, upvote. If you're indifferent, then perhaps abstain.

To validate our methods, we need manual judgements from people who really know the data. This is where we need your help. It is impossible to manually annotate all the data from Stack Exchange, and so we have applied several filters to make sure we only show you questions pairs with a high likelihood of being duplicates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Participation is completely optional, and there's no minimum time requirement. If you are interested in participating in the project, please head over to the annotation interface, which can be found here: http://hum.csse.unimelb.edu.au/se-annotate/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can log in with your Stack Exchange account, so no sign up is required.

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016, seasonal edition**! [The previous giveaway](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6652) was a huge success, so let us try that again! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our third lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 November, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered.

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016, seasonal edition**! [The previous giveaway](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6652) was a huge success, so let us try that again! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our third lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 November, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{expl3}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{xparse}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{pgf}&#xD;&#xA;    \pgfmathsetseed{\number\pdfrandomseed}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOn&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \prop_new:N \g_duck_contest_prop&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_set_false:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \tl_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand { \person } { m m }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \clist_map_inline:nn { #1 }&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_if_in:NnTF \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                Hey! ~ #2 ~ wants ~ to ~ be ~ naughty! ~&#xD;&#xA;                The ~ number ~ ##1 ~ was ~ already ~ chosen! \par&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \prop_gput:Nnn \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 } { #2 }&#xD;&#xA;                \int_gset:Nn \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;                {&#xD;&#xA;                    \int_max:nn { \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int } { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;                }&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winner } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \bool_do_until:Nn \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \pgfmathrandom{1, \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int}&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_get:NoN \g_duck_contest_prop { \pgfmathresult } \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            \quark_if_no_value:NF \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \bool_set_true:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;        \int_set_eq:NN \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int \pgfmathresult&#xD;&#xA;        \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \cs_generate_variant:Nn \prop_get:NnN { No }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winningnumber } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \int_to_arabic:n \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOff&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % add yourself here&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    % For example, in the following line&#xD;&#xA;    % I picked 1 and 27, but I'm not&#xD;&#xA;    % participating in the contest :)&#xD;&#xA;    % \person{1,27}{Paulo Cereda}&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % the announcement&#xD;&#xA;    The winner is \winner, with \winningnumber!

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016, seasonal edition**! [The previous giveaway](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6652) was a huge success, so let us try that again! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our third lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 November, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access).

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016, seasonal edition**! [The previous giveaway](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6652) was a huge success, so let us try that again! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our third lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 November, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered.

In order to solicit opinion from the community, please cast your vote in the answer below.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##More on the Winterbash&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Winter Bash is a fun, lighthearted event SE runs every year as a way of celebrating the many amazing people who make the communities awesome. It's open to any Stack Exchange site that chooses to participate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;During Winter Bash, users earn virtual hats by completing certain tasks. They're sort of like badges, but they're more visible and less permanent. Hats can be &quot;worn&quot; on users' avatars just about anywhere avatars show up on the network. Here's an example of what some hats looked like last year, taken from the network leaderboard:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![](https://i.stack.imgur.com/R61FX.png)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, SE is rolling out an all-new assortment of hats for this year's event, as they have in the past.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##The Details&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This year's event will start [soon](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/287412/168244). Users will be able to see all the hats they've earned on http://winterbash2016.stackexchange.com. That site will also have an FAQ to explain how things work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Individual users who don’t want to participate, don’t want to see hats, and/or are generally anti-hat will have an “I hate hats” option available. And just like last time, at the end of the event, all hats will go back into storage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only visual change to the Stack Exchange sites themselves will be the presence of the hats and the “I hate hats” button in the footer."

Text="[Last year](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/6406/5764), TeX.SE joined in on Winterbash 2015. Winterbash 2016 is around the corner and sites will soon have the option of opting in/out. In order to solicit opinion from the community, please cast your vote in the answer below.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##More on the Winterbash&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Winter Bash is a fun, lighthearted event SE runs every year as a way of celebrating the many amazing people who make the communities awesome. It's open to any Stack Exchange site that chooses to participate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;During Winter Bash, users earn virtual hats by completing certain tasks. They're sort of like badges, but they're more visible and less permanent. Hats can be &quot;worn&quot; on users' avatars just about anywhere avatars show up on the network. Here's an example of what some hats looked like last year, taken from [the network leaderboard](http://stackpromos.com/promos/16/winter-bash-2015):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, SE is rolling out an all-new assortment of hats for this year's event, as they have in the past.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##The Details&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This year's event will [start December 19th, 2016 and run through January 8th, 2017](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/287412/168244). Users will be able to see all the hats they've earned on http://winterbash2016.stackexchange.com. That site will also have an FAQ to explain how things work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Individual users who don’t want to participate, don’t want to see hats, and/or are generally anti-hat will have an “I hate hats” option available. And just like last time, at the end of the event, all hats will go back into storage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only visual change to the Stack Exchange sites themselves will be the presence of the hats and the “I hate hats” button in the footer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/nx0i9.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This site is entitled to whatever customs it deems necessary to keep up the quality of the content (or, as I suspect many here would phrase it, to &quot;not talk about the things we cannot fix&quot;), but the site does owe a minimal measure of clarity in why it shuts threads down. This is both to the OP, but also to future visitors who arrive via search and are trying to evaluate whether this site will be helpful to their question or not. (In particular, such users will have no knowledge of meta, and no access to chat.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's as far as the transparency of closures goes: having an informal consensus is good, but past a certain point this site should have some appropriate go-to place where newer users can catch up with what the deal is. (In usenet parlance &quot;lurk for a while and read the FAQ&quot; only works if the FAQ is accessible, discoverable, and up-to-date, though I would question the requirement to &quot;lurk for a while&quot;.) This thread is precisely that place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other hand, I'd like to say I'm really weirded out by an attitude that I've seen several times on this site, including David Carlisle's answer here, which goes along the lines of&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; if a question asks about behaviour which can be reasonably attributed to TeX, but which turns out to be due to a bug in a related binary (such as MikTeX or TeXlive) which has already been solved, the question should be closed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This strikes me as wrong-headed and entirely against the spirit of Stack Exchange. Again, this site's community is entitled to whatever standards the consensus feels are reasonable (as long as they are transparent enough), but I really disagree with this one. In short:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If the answer is &quot;this behaviour is due to a bug in (X), which has since been patched; to solve the problem, simply update your system&quot;, then that is *still* an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would argue that the correct approach to this class of questions is to keep them open and provide the above as an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are multiple reasons for this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The typical audience for a Stack Exchange page is normally much broader than just the original poster. Over a several-years lifetime, very many more people will see the thread, and find it helpful (or not).&#xD;&#xA; - Normally, this additional audience comes in directly from a search engine, and they will normally not be registered on the site. This means that arguments like &quot;if people have more questions they can comment&quot; don't actually work.&#xD;&#xA; - TeX error messages are normally very specific, which means that if I encounter that error, and the error message is reproduced in some question on this site, I'm very likely to end up there.&#xD;&#xA; - More generally, Stack Exchange pages tend to be ranked very highly on multiple search engines.&#xD;&#xA; - It is very common for many TeX users to run their distributions, packages, and associated software using very old versions. This is partly due to the outstanding stability of TeX, but it can also be because e.g. Ubuntu came pre-packed with texlive 2011 even in 2015 (or so). This means that even for &quot;solved&quot; bugs there is still a significant user base running software without the patch.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ultimately, the approach in my first quote only serves to litter the internet with yet *another* useless search result that is simply not helpful. If the answer is simply &quot;oh, I just need to update and everything will be fine&quot;, the Stack Exchange is the best place to be told that in a simple and clear manner. Closing those questions instead of answering them strikes me as being deliberately unhelpful to the majority of the question's audience." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016, seasonal edition**!

Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our third lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 November, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{expl3}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{xparse}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{pgf}&#xD;&#xA;    \pgfmathsetseed{\number\pdfrandomseed}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOn&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \prop_new:N \g_duck_contest_prop&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_set_false:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \tl_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand { \person } { m m }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \clist_map_inline:nn { #1 }&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_if_in:NnTF \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                Hey! ~ #2 ~ wants ~ to ~ be ~ naughty! ~&#xD;&#xA;                The ~ number ~ ##1 ~ was ~ already ~ chosen! \par&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \prop_gput:Nnn \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 } { #2 }&#xD;&#xA;                \int_gset:Nn \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;                {&#xD;&#xA;                    \int_max:nn { \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int } { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;                }&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winner } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \bool_do_until:Nn \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \pgfmathrandom{1, \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int}&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_get:NoN \g_duck_contest_prop { \pgfmathresult } \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            \quark_if_no_value:NF \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \bool_set_true:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;        \int_set_eq:NN \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int \pgfmathresult&#xD;&#xA;        \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \cs_generate_variant:Nn \prop_get:NnN { No }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winningnumber } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \int_to_arabic:n \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOff&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % add yourself here&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    % For example, in the following line&#xD;&#xA;    % I picked 1 and 27, but I'm not&#xD;&#xA;    % participating in the contest :)&#xD;&#xA;    % \person{1,27}{Paulo Cereda}&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % the announcement&#xD;&#xA;    The winner is \winner, with \winningnumber!

Text="Some time ago, I asked how we should handle bug reports: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2622/questions-which-are-bug-reports.

Looking over meta, I think we have some issues:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- What has tended to happen 'in the wild' doesn't match the above (see http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6001/answer-reveals-problem-is-package-bug-delete-question for a statement that suggests a different policy, for example)&#xD;&#xA;- The nature of the closure types available to us has changed since the earlier discussion&#xD;&#xA;- There is a need to consider people other than the OP arriving _via_ search: do they get useful information? In particular, will they pick up subtleties in comments (as opposed to actual answers)?&#xD;&#xA;- Is the speed of (likely) fixing a bug relevant?&#xD;&#xA;- What (if anything) is different for questions where the OP knows something is a bug but is seeking a workaround (and does this vary between things solvable in TeX/Lua code and those which need work on supporting binaries)?&#xD;&#xA;- What (if anything) is different between bugs which are fixed and bugs which are still 'live' (and of course does this have a knock-on if the bug is live when the question is asked but fixed X months later)?&#xD;&#xA;- How do such questions relate to formal issue trackers (where available)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Given the above, I'd like to seek a clear position which can be used as a reference when handling these cases.

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016, seasonal edition**! [The previous giveaway](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6652) was a huge success, so let us try that again! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our third lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 November, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{expl3}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{xparse}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{pgf}&#xD;&#xA;    \pgfmathsetseed{\number\pdfrandomseed}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOn&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \prop_new:N \g_duck_contest_prop&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_set_false:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \tl_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand { \person } { m m }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \clist_map_inline:nn { #1 }&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_if_in:NnTF \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                Hey! ~ #2 ~ wants ~ to ~ be ~ naughty! ~&#xD;&#xA;                The ~ number ~ ##1 ~ was ~ already ~ chosen! \par&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \prop_gput:Nnn \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 } { #2 }&#xD;&#xA;                \int_gset:Nn \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;                {&#xD;&#xA;                    \int_max:nn { \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int } { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;                }&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winner } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \bool_do_until:Nn \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \pgfmathrandom{1, \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int}&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_get:NoN \g_duck_contest_prop { \pgfmathresult } \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            \quark_if_no_value:NF \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \bool_set_true:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;        \int_set_eq:NN \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int \pgfmathresult&#xD;&#xA;        \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \cs_generate_variant:Nn \prop_get:NnN { No }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winningnumber } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \int_to_arabic:n \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOff&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % add yourself here&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    % For example, in the following line&#xD;&#xA;    % I picked 1 and 27, but I'm not&#xD;&#xA;    % participating in the contest :)&#xD;&#xA;    % \person{1,27}{Paulo Cereda}&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % the announcement&#xD;&#xA;    The winner is \winner, with \winningnumber!

Math. It is not a TeX support at all. MathJax is nothing related to TeX. It emulates the syntax of the `amsmath` (and a little TeX) but from its output to how it renders stuff is completely different. So when you say TeX support, you mean math rendering of TeX. &#xD;&#xA;  - Reminding the users don't solve anything. As we constantly see in the newcomer questions, many people don't even read the warnings after TeX compilations let alone coming here and bothering to read the reminders. &#xD;&#xA;  - Copying the code locally (with our greasemonkey scripts) and clicking a button is much faster for many of us rather than waiting for sharelatex, overleaf or any other online platform. Besides you have to rely on the external party. We don't control which version of TeXLive they use. We don't want to wait or we can't see what happens on MikTeX or Windows or etc.&#xD;&#xA;  - TeX has a lot of friends such as ConTeXt and so on. They cannot be handled properly (including plain TeX flavors). &#xD;&#xA;  - Time has shown that we (askers and answerers regardless of rep points) can operate pretty well without having things rendered. Also page loading behavior is pretty nice. I cannot say the same for Math.SE or mathoverflow sites.&#xD;&#xA;  - Compiling a JS or any other language is more tedious than a TeX document which can even be compiled on a terminal inline. Thus those benefits are not carried over here. Also versions of those languages change very slowly. For TeX every recent package has an update period of 3-4 months.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hence the benefits stated here are not valid. But I'm hearing a lot of positive stuff about KaTeX. For my subjective view, I would leave some room to change my opinion if it can be integrated into SE. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Text="Joseph Wright pointed out the following questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Why does TeX not show up in my question (at least in the preview)][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Can we turn off math-tex please?][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Why doesn't maths render as maths?][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Where we see a divide in the TeX Exchange Community regarding whether or not to have TeX allowed on the site. Namely because people tend to not properly mark their source code in their questions and thus the rendering of TeX actually hinders the forum. However, a simple reminder when posting new questions may be enough to resolve that issue...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I personally am in favor of having *TeX* on TeX Stack Exchange. Especially having used [MathJaX][1] which is implemented on other S.E. sites like Mathematica Stack Exchange in conjunction with TeX source code (as Mathematica has a `TeXForm` function and its behavior may wish to be modified) without issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#Solutions?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I would like to propose the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* As it would make sense -- in *some* cases -- to be able to render some things in TeX when asking questions can we not have MathJaX on the site, with a reminder when asking new questions (or under the How To Format box on the right) to make sure source code is not rendered `\(...\)`?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Alternatively, could TeX Stack Exchange get an account with an online TeX editor like [ShareLaTeX][2] thereby allowing us to upload our M.W.E.s for others to see and comment solutions / problems? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions on StackOverflow with tags like javascript or html tend to have links to online editors such as JS.Fiddle, which is useful for showing how to get around a specific bug. While there is no official standard on S.O. for how to answer javascript questions, one would be hard pressed to find questions lacking a link to such a site. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I proposed [ShareLaTeX][2] as it:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* has access to all the ctan packages without having to download them which some users may have to do if they wish to answer the question. &#xD;&#xA;* has various compilers like LuaLaTeX, XeLaTeX, etc&#xD;&#xA;* allows for collaborators (users answering the question) and chat (thereby clearing up chatty comments)&#xD;&#xA;* serve as a reference point to find code that answers new questions&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]:https://www.mathjax.org&#xD;&#xA;[2]:https://www.sharelatex.com&#xD;&#xA;[3]:http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/699/why-does-tex-not-show-up-in-my-question-at-least-in-the-preview?rq=1&#xD;&#xA;[4]:http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/181/can-we-turn-off-math-tex-please&#xD;&#xA;[5]:http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1272/why-doesnt-maths-render-as-maths" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016, seasonal edition**!

Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our third lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 November, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access).

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016, seasonal edition**! [The previous giveaway](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6652) was a huge success, so let us try that again! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our third lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 November, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{expl3}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{xparse}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{pgf}&#xD;&#xA;    \pgfmathsetseed{\number\pdfrandomseed}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOn&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \prop_new:N \g_duck_contest_prop&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_set_false:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \tl_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand { \person } { m m }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \clist_map_inline:nn { #1 }&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_if_in:NnTF \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                Hey! ~ #2 ~ wants ~ to ~ be ~ naughty! ~&#xD;&#xA;                The ~ number ~ ##1 ~ was ~ already ~ chosen! \par&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \prop_gput:Nnn \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 } { #2 }&#xD;&#xA;                \int_gset:Nn \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;                {&#xD;&#xA;                    \int_max:nn { \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int } { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;                }&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winner } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \bool_do_until:Nn \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \pgfmathrandom{1, \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int}&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_get:NoN \g_duck_contest_prop { \pgfmathresult } \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            \quark_if_no_value:NF \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \bool_set_true:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;        \int_set_eq:NN \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int \pgfmathresult&#xD;&#xA;        \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \cs_generate_variant:Nn \prop_get:NnN { No }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winningnumber } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \int_to_arabic:n \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOff&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % add yourself here&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    % For example, in the following line&#xD;&#xA;    % I picked 1 and 27, but I'm not&#xD;&#xA;    % participating in the contest :)&#xD;&#xA;    % \person{1,27}{Paulo Cereda}&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % the announcement&#xD;&#xA;    The winner is \winner, with \winningnumber!

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016, seasonal edition**! [The previous giveaway](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6652) was a huge success, so let us try that again! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our third lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 November, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{expl3}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{xparse}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{pgf}&#xD;&#xA;    \pgfmathsetseed{\number\pdfrandomseed}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOn&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \prop_new:N \g_duck_contest_prop&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_set_false:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \tl_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand { \person } { m m }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \clist_map_inline:nn { #1 }&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_if_in:NnTF \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                Hey! ~ #2 ~ wants ~ to ~ be ~ naughty! ~&#xD;&#xA;                The ~ number ~ ##1 ~ was ~ already ~ chosen! \par&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \prop_gput:Nnn \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 } { #2 }&#xD;&#xA;                \int_gset:Nn \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;                {&#xD;&#xA;                    \int_max:nn { \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int } { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;                }&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winner } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \bool_do_until:Nn \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \pgfmathrandom{1, \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int}&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_get:NoN \g_duck_contest_prop { \pgfmathresult } \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            \quark_if_no_value:NF \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \bool_set_true:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;        \int_set_eq:NN \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int \pgfmathresult&#xD;&#xA;        \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \cs_generate_variant:Nn \prop_get:NnN { No }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winningnumber } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \int_to_arabic:n \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOff&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % add yourself here&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    % For example, in the following line&#xD;&#xA;    % I picked 1 and 27, but I'm not&#xD;&#xA;    % participating in the contest :)&#xD;&#xA;    % \person{1,27}{Paulo Cereda}&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % the announcement&#xD;&#xA;    The winner is \winner, with \winningnumber!

If several contestants guess the same number, the contestant whose guess arrived first is valid. The other contestants may post a new number.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contestants must have been a member of TeX-SX before 1 December, 2016. (Without this restriction, people may start creating fake accounts and submit multiple guesses.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question; not as a comment. Comments will be ignored.

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016, seasonal edition**! [The previous giveaway](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6652) was a huge success, so let us try that again! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our third lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 November, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{expl3}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{xparse}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{pgf}&#xD;&#xA;    \pgfmathsetseed{\number\pdfrandomseed}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOn&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \prop_new:N \g_duck_contest_prop&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_set_false:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \tl_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand { \person } { m m }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \clist_map_inline:nn { #1 }&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_if_in:NnTF \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                Hey! ~ #2 ~ wants ~ to ~ be ~ naughty! ~&#xD;&#xA;                The ~ number ~ ##1 ~ was ~ already ~ chosen! \par&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \prop_gput:Nnn \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 } { #2 }&#xD;&#xA;                \int_gset:Nn \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;                {&#xD;&#xA;                    \int_max:nn { \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int } { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;                }&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winner } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \bool_do_until:Nn \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \pgfmathrandom{1, \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int}&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_get:NoN \g_duck_contest_prop { \pgfmathresult } \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            \quark_if_no_value:NF \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \bool_set_true:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;        \int_set_eq:NN \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int \pgfmathresult&#xD;&#xA;        \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \cs_generate_variant:Nn \prop_get:NnN { No }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winningnumber } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \int_to_arabic:n \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOff&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % add yourself here&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    % For example, in the following line&#xD;&#xA;    % I picked 1 and 27, but I'm not&#xD;&#xA;    % participating in the contest :)&#xD;&#xA;    % \person{1,27}{Paulo Cereda}&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % the announcement&#xD;&#xA;    The winner is \winner, with \winningnumber!

It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016, seasonal edition**!

Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our third lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses. **UPDATE:** Let us spice things up! you can now select a *third* entry! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 November, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access).

Would it be better to rename the tags: `context` and `context-mkii` (for MkII related questions).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Context (pun intended): ConTeXt MkII refers to PDFTeX and XeTeX engines while ConTeXt MkIV refers to LuaTeX engine. For a few years now, the recommendation is to use ConTeXt MkIV. Few users still use MkII for existing projects. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, I think that it is better to use the tag `context` for MkIV related questions (maybe even make it a synonym for `context-mkiv`) and use `context-mkii` for MkII related question. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this is okay, what is the best way to go about retagging the questions? This is not as simple as just renaming the tags because some questions tagged with `context` are about MkII while others are about MkIV.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT**: I started making the changes. I thought that I'd proceed as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Look at all questions that are tagged with **both** `context` and `context-mkiv`. Delete the `context-mkiv` tags. (there were about 300 such questions).&#xD;&#xA;2.  Go through all the questions that are tagged `context` and check if they need to be tagged as `context-mkii`.&#xD;&#xA;3. Rename `context-mkiv` as `context`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, as I edited the tags in about 10-15 questions by hand, I was wondering if there are any mod tools that can be used to do step 1 automatically?"

The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - script packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The question must always be tagged with the magic [meta-tag:community-ads] tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Image requirements&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The image that you create must be 300 x 250 pixels, or double that if high DPI.&#xD;&#xA; - Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)&#xD;&#xA; - Must be GIF or PNG&#xD;&#xA; - No animated GIFs&#xD;&#xA; - Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB&#xD;&#xA; - If the background of the image is white or partially white, there must be a 1px border (2px if high DPI) surrounding it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Score Threshold&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a **minimum score threshold** an answer must meet (currently **6**) before it will be shown on the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats [here][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/ads/display/7182" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The addiction is due to Stackexchange network elements not TeX itself. There is also question answering addiction which is even more damaging because you end up working on things way way more than your life permits and the result is absolutely useless such as my many pointless TikZ answers. Unfortunately that's the norm for many PhD students due to procrastination. That is an absolutely different type of addiction and requires either career change or a reorganization of life. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In this case, however, something which is sometimes called &quot;idle-game addiction&quot; type of behavior creeps in. I'm not a neuroscientist obviously so I can't discuss the causes and mechanism but the general trend is there is a reward that comes ever so slowly that it borders on your patience. If it is a bit more slower you get bored if it is a bit faster then you run out of rewards too quickly. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's the part SE network taps into with the badge and reputation stuff. It diminishes the value of an answer and emphasize on the success. But anyway there are better people suited for such analysis. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I would really suggest is to stay away from that reward part of the site. It has nothing to do with TeX and gives you uber-falsch incentives. That would also avoid the fake &quot;we own this place&quot; attitude. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is just a place where you ask and answer questions. Regarding the TeX-SX addiction itself, try switching to package writing or other open-source avenues such that you can pace yourself in your own time. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;PS: I never did the statistics (because I don't procrastinate anymore, see?) but if you ignore our few wizards who write code without even testing, most popular package authors either don't have or very little activity here. My premise is that this should be due to the satisfaction of seeing their work being used by many people. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Long story short, don't put all your eggs in one basket, here procrastination being your eggs. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;DISCLAIMER: I have been openly criticizing Papiro and others whenever I could because for quite some time I have argued that they abused the review system for that stupid colorful dots and they have replied for themselves elsewhere that they strongly disagree (search on meta). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then s/he got into the voting badge hunt apparently which is much harder than the other badges because you have a limited vote numbers to cast. And it borders on your patience very nicely.

Sometimes, in order to answer something I had to do a bit of research first and ended up learning something in the process, also repeating some of my already acquired knowledge helped on reinforcing such information. So in the end I was too gaining from the site, as much as (or even more) than I was giving.&#xA;&#xA;Finally, I think the matter at hand may be more of time management than TeX.SX addiction. If you feel you are **wasting** your time here but cannot shake it off, perhaps consulting a specialist might be in order rather than posting a question on the very website your addicted to. If you feel you're just spending too much time here try pushing the website to a low priority (do the important stuff first) and **avoid procrastinating *here* at all costs** (procastinate somewhere else, if needed be).

Nominations should be made by posting an answer here with any reasoning you like, then immediately deleting the answer. In a second stage, I will undelete all of the answers to allow the community to vote: any 'stray' votes before the second phase _will be ignored_.

Additional nominations may be added during this phase. At the end of this period the top eight names will be passed to the StackOverflow staff.

This would still leave the HTML of the post the same. The same holds true for markdown updates. Everything happens in the rebake.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Recently, however, we did multiple rebakes. One was adding `rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;` to links in order to mitigate the `window.opener` vulnerability, and another one was for fixing imgur links to https (which again was only a rebake). Those rebakes then surfaced the markdown change, long after it happened.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the question that still has no answer is, who touched the post history (and when). Unfortunately I couldn't find the answer to that. But it's definitely not caused by anything that's running in production currently." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. [Accepting and upvoting answers is the preferred way here](//tex.stackexchange.com/about) to say “thank you” to users who helped you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  And optionally for all:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `A suggestion: Do us a favour and change your username to something more telling than &quot;user1234&quot;.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Merging accounts ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `It looks like you've got two separate accounts, which means you cannot edit your original post or leave comments. The Stack Exchange staff can [merge them together for you](//tex.stackexchange.com/help/user-merge).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Questions solved by updating ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ``This behaviour is due to a bug in `&lt;name-of-package&gt;` which is fixed&#xD;&#xA;in the `&lt;date/version&gt;` release. Where possible, you should [update your TeX&#xD;&#xA;distribution](//tex.stackexchange.com/q/55437) to install the&#xD;&#xA;current release. If this is not possible, for example if you want to&#xD;&#xA;change only this one package or where you do not have the privileges&#xD;&#xA;to update the entire distribution, you will need to [install the&#xD;&#xA;package locally](//tex.stackexchange.com/q/1137).  This option should be considered a last resort, since for more complex packages there may be package dependencies that will make local installation more complicated and error-prone.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Possible duplicates ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See discussion in [Closing questions as exact duplications: 'best practice'](//meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/2770) for notes on these messages!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- For new(ish) users whose question looks like it might get closed as a duplicate:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.SX!](//meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1436) This question is very similar to [link]. Please take a look at it as the information there might help you.

If not, please edit your question here to explain why so that people can better focus their attention to help you.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- On casting first dupe vote on a question where the OP has not said 'Oh yes, it's a dupe':&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `I've voted to close this as a duplicate because currently, the question looks very similar to [link]. Note that closing a question is not final. If you feel that this question is not a duplicate you can edit it to add more information, in which case it may be reopened.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### For questions that are likely to be closed ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `If your question is closed and you still need help, don't worry, [here you'll find help on what to do next](//meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1015).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Alternatively, for already closed questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `If the linked question doesn't solve your problem, please edit your question to explain why and we'll reopen it. Closing as a duplicate is just a way of ensuring that people who find this question easily find the other one.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- MathJax questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `While [tag:MathJax] uses LaTeX syntax, it uses Javascript and HTML's DOM model rather than TeX technology, making it mostly off topic for this site. You might try instead searching among the [questions tagged with mathjax on Stack Overflow](//stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mathjax), or in the official [mathjax-users](https://groups.google.com/d/forum/mathjax-users) Google group.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Please ‘accept’ an answer below ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One should [wait a day](//meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/209) before leaving this comment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `Since you have some responses below that seem to answer your question, please consider marking one of them as ‘Accepted’ by clicking on the tickmark below their vote count (see [How do you accept an answer?](//meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/1852)).

Many packages have been significantly improved since then. I would recommend installing TeX Live directly from [TUG](//tug.org/texlive/) instead of using the Debian packages. That way you can always get current package versions by running `sudo tlmgr update --all`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Upload images only over the official interface ###&#xD;&#xA;- ``Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official Stack Exchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: Ctrl+G). This ensures that all images will always be accessible and won't expire.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ``As new user without image posting privileges simply include the image as normal and remove the `!` in front of it to turn it into a link. A moderator or another user with edit privileges can then reinsert the `!` to turn it into an image again.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Reminder for being clement ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `Please don't downvote below a score of -1, even if the question in its current form needs some improvement. A score of -1 is enough to show that the question needs work, anything below that is of no use. Also, if you downvote or vote to close, please leave a comment explaining why you did so, but wait at least 24 hours after asking the OP for improvements to the question before voting to close.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Optional addition: `Don't forget, it's a new user!`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `This should not have been closed.

I find myself spending much time on the site - and because solving problems and talking about TeX is fun, I'm quickly working on a new answer. I guess I have to restrain myself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After some time, when the site has grown, questions may occur more frequently and in higher number, much do deal with. Today, in beta time, many experienced users have found the way to this site, perhaps not yet so many questioners.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, what could we do today? Some thoughts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Ask interesting questions.** For everybody there might be an interesting question, even if he could figure it out himself in some time. Questions don't compete the way answers do, and good questions will be voted up. And rightly so. They lay the foundation for good answers, building our knowledge base.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Use up your vote limit.** [Vote early and often][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at the questions of today and the previous 4 days, all of them are voted between 0 and 9, mostly in the lower range. I suppose if a reader of a question would think it's worth that he would answer, he would vote the question up, even if another user already answered. @mindcorrosive: you've used 8 votes until now: how many of them to questions, how many did you find interesting?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Let's vote for interesting questions.** Perhaps look backwards, are there well-formulated questions to interesting subjects worth another vote? This also encourages other users to write good questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Vote for answers that contain good points.** Not just for the best. Even older questions might have got further valuable answers - look out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As Scott said, we're still in beta and setting the standards for voting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What could I do further? I'll try to slow down. I'll try not to compete for easy questions as long as they get profound answers in a timely manner.

Some thoughts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Ask interesting questions.** For everybody there might be an interesting question, even if he could figure it out himself in some time.

They lay the foundation for good answers, building our knowledge base.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Use up your vote limit.** [Vote early and often][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at the questions of today and the previous 4 days, all of them are voted between 0 and 9, mostly in the lower range. I suppose if a reader of a question would think it's worth that he would answer, he would vote the question up, even if another user already answered. @mindcorrosive: you've used 8 votes until now: how many of them to questions, how many did you find interesting?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Let's vote for interesting questions.** Perhaps look backwards, are there well-formulated questions to interesting subjects worth another vote? This also encourages other users to write good questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Vote for answers that contain good points.** Not just for the best. Even older questions might have got further valuable answers - look out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As Scott said, we're still in beta and setting the standards for voting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What could I do further? I'll try to slow down. I'll try not to compete for easy questions as long as they get profound answers in a timely manner.

There have been some really neat answers to problems developed on the site, and I think it would be nice to put them together in to some sort of easily usable state.  My reasons are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It's easier to download a single package/style file than to cut and paste a load of code from here, there, and everywhere into ones preamble.&#xD;&#xA;1. Some of the code could do with a bit of polishing (for example, putting in to a macro, hiding internal bits) that are standard when making a package, but not when posting an answer here. &#xD;&#xA;1. **Publicity:** Ideally, these would get used and the people who used them would find out about us.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By doing this as a collective venture, I hope that:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It is a real _community_ project.  I'm not so naive that I think that loads of people will do the necessary work, but hopefully lots of people will see what's going on and at least feel as though it's based on the community's collective work.&#xD;&#xA;1. It isn't loads of work for any one person.  Most of the stuff I'm thinking of is already workable, so I'm hoping it won't take too much work to put it together.&#xD;&#xA;1. This is only the first of many ...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On that last note, I'm picking TikZ because it's the area I think I've contributed most to.  Also, there's a reasonable volume of TikZ answers here to choose from, and a good number of people contributing them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**First Steps:** We need some code to put in the package, and some volunteers willing to take part.  I think that we can adapt the SE software to gather all that information here! So:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you like or dislike the idea, vote on **this question** accordingly.&#xD;&#xA;1. Propose (and link to) TikZ/PGF answers on the main site that you would like to see in such a package in answers to this question, one link per answer.  Also vote for those you like (but the people who volunteer to put it together will have the final say).  Please bear in mind that to be worth putting in a package, it has to be something that you can envision being used several times.  **Proposing your own answers** is not only acceptable but actively encouraged.  If, when reading an answer, something occurs to you as a possible improvement, please make a note of it (just the idea at this stage).&#xD;&#xA;1. In **one** answer, we can collect names of volunteers who are willing to do a bit of extra work polishing the answers.  I'll start this off, make it CW, and &quot;accept&quot; it (when I can) to ensure that it is easily distinguished from the rest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Template for proposals&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ### TikZ/PGF Answer:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ### Brief Description:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ### Possible Improvements:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Further discussion on this topic is available here:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1248/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/766853#766853" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Stuff that matters. &#xD;&#xA;- [Lifehacker](http://www.lifehacker.com/): Don’t live to geek, geek to live! &#xD;&#xA;- [The Simple Dollar](http://www.thesimpledollar.com/): Financial talk for the rest of us. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##The Motto (don't forget your logo) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A logo begs for it own little, short tagline&amp;thinsp;&amp;mdash;&amp;thinsp;like a motto. Maybe the tagline inspires the logo; Maybe it's the other way around. Mottos make good t-shirt, bumper stickers, and other marketing material. Either way, you'll recognize a good motto when you see it: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Just do it. &#xD;&#xA;- Think Different. &#xD;&#xA;- The Uncola. &#xD;&#xA;- Intel inside. &#xD;&#xA;- Like a rock. &#xD;&#xA;- The king of beers. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&amp;hellip;and perhaps all this leads to a proper name and domain for your site&amp;hellip; *eventually*.

Here is my proposal, following the FAQs of SO related sites:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What kind of questions can I ask here?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;tex.stackexchange.com is for TeX and LaTeX enthusiasts and users. If you have a question about ...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - TeX or any of its descendants like LaTeX, XeTeX, LuaTeX and ConTeXt&#xD;&#xA; - TeX distributions like TeX Live, MiKTeX or MacTeX,&#xD;&#xA; - (La)TeX related software and tools like BibTeX, LyX, LaTeX editors, viewer and converter software&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;... then you're in the right place to ask your question!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The best questions contain [some code][2]. Their answers will most likely give concrete code back to you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The FAQ continues:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please look around to see if your question has already been asked (and maybe even answered!) before you ask...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I omitted the word 'expert', as I believe this site [supports new users as well][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Further, I know that this site is not the perfect place for very specific questions regarding a certain editor or software. Though possibly help is available here because many of us use some of the common editors and tools. It might be hard for a new user to find the correct forum, mailing-list or wiki for a very specific piece of software. If a question is hard to answer here, we know where to lead the questioner as we know the resources. That's the reason why I included such related software: we don't sent the questioner back just because his question concerns a LaTeX IDE feature but not LaTeX itself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another FAQ entry or link could write that clearly.

People also suggested TikZ as a source of inspiration, in particular I would recommend to have a look at the [TikZ Manual](http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/pgf.html) and the [TeXample.net](http://www.texample.net/) website.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A serif font for the logo, title, headings, etc. is a very good idea. But for the particular font used in the body of the site, people seemed to be keen on having a sans-serif font because it does tend to look better on screen, while serif fonts usually look better when printed on paper. I think that the “classic” think about TeX is not necessarily the use of serif fonts, but its obsession about the correct use of typography for clarity and ease of reading. There were suggestions about using Helvetica, but also concerns about the font (or decent alternatives) being available on most web browsers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, about the logo, most people seemed to like [TeXnique](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/519/write-an-elevator-pitch-tagline), or something along those lines, to identify the site. What about having something like `{TeX}nique` or `{TeXnique}`?

On the other hand, the [Showcase of beautiful typography done in LaTeX][showcase] thread refers to some beautiful LaTeX documents that could be used for inspiration.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* About the title. There was [a pretty strong consensus **against** “TeX, LaTeX and Friends”][title] since that [puts a special emphasis on LaTeX while unduly de-emphasizing similar tool sets][title2] that play an equal role.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* I think the tag line (if any) should be placed prominently, in particular if the site name is going to be a bit oblique.

I believe using a Zapf font would be very fitting; not only is Hermann Zapf kind of the ultimate font designer, he also worked very closely with Knuth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  The perceived danger that this would make the site look too antique, and not enough focused on precision could be mitigated by “resolving” the strokes into vector outlines or guide lines, like in this picture:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  ![FontForge logo][]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Of course this is rather too specific and I’m not a designer.

Imagine the user who will never read your FAQ and you have two seconds to grab their attention. It should be catchy but descriptive. It should be thoroughly clear but painfully concise. **Make every... word... count.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are some creative examples: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [Gawker](http://gawker.com/): Daily Manhattan media news and gossip. Reporting live from the center of the universe. &#xD;&#xA;- [Gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/): The gadget guide. So much in love with shiny new toys, it’s unnatural. &#xD;&#xA;- [Autoblog](http://www.autoblog.com/): We obsessively cover the auto industry. &#xD;&#xA;- [DumbLittleMan](http://www.dumblittleman.com/): So what do we do here? Well, it’s simple. 15 to 20 times per week we provide tips that will save you money, increase your productivity, or simply keep you sane. &#xD;&#xA;- [Needcoffee.com](http://www.needcoffee.com/): We are the Internet equivalent of a triple espresso with whipped cream. Mmmm…whipped cream. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Use it as a Tagline &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A shorter elevator pitch *can* be used as a tagline&amp;thinsp;&amp;mdash;&amp;thinsp;something you can display in the header at the top of the page. If it doesn't fit, consider shortening it or creating a separate tagline. Here are some great examples: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [Slashdot](http://slashdot.org/): News for nerds. Stuff that matters. &#xD;&#xA;- [Lifehacker](http://www.lifehacker.com/): Don’t live to geek, geek to live! &#xD;&#xA;- [The Simple Dollar](http://www.thesimpledollar.com/): Financial talk for the rest of us. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##The Motto (don't forget your logo) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A logo begs for it own little, short tagline&amp;thinsp;&amp;mdash;&amp;thinsp;like a motto. Maybe the tagline inspires the logo; Maybe it's the other way around. Mottos make good t-shirt, bumper stickers, and other marketing material. Either way, you'll recognize a good motto when you see it: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Just do it. &#xD;&#xA;- Think Different. &#xD;&#xA;- The Uncola. &#xD;&#xA;- Intel inside. &#xD;&#xA;- Like a rock. &#xD;&#xA;- The king of beers. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&amp;hellip;and perhaps all this leads to a proper name and domain for your site&amp;hellip; *eventually*. So let's start from the basics. **Come up with a killer elevator pitch, tagline, and/or motto!** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

People also suggested TikZ as a source of inspiration, in particular I would recommend to have a look at the [TikZ Manual](http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/pgf.html) and the [TeXample.net](http://www.texample.net/) website.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A serif font for the logo, title, headings, etc. is a very good idea. But for the particular font used in the body of the site, people seemed to be keen on having a sans-serif font because it does tend to look better on screen, while serif fonts usually look better when printed on paper. I think that the “classic” think about TeX is not necessarily the use of serif fonts, but its obsession about the correct use of typography for clarity and ease of reading. There were suggestions about using Helvetica, but also concerns about the font (or decent alternatives) being available on most web browsers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, about the logo, most people seemed to like [TeXnique](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/519/write-an-elevator-pitch-tagline), or something along those lines, to identify the site. What about having something like `{TeX}nique` or `{TeXnique}`?

For example, I really love the site design of [CrossValidated](http://stats.stackexchange.com/) – but there’s **no** indication that this is a site about statistics! I had to look at the URL to see that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* I really like Charles’ first suggestion of using the Zapfino font in the design, e.g. the logo (even though Charles himself has doubts). I believe using a Zapf font would be very fitting; not only is Hermann Zapf kind of the ultimate font designer, he also worked very closely with Knuth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  The perceived danger that this would make the site look too antique, and not enough focused on precision could be mitigated by “resolving” the strokes into vector outlines or guide lines, like in this picture:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  ![FontForge logo][]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Of course this is rather too specific and I’m not a designer. I just wanted to mention that I think a font like Zapfino *could* be made to work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All in all, I’m very excited to see the final layout!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[FontForge logo]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GWdRb.jpg&#xD;&#xA;[title]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/519&#xD;&#xA;[title2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/524&#xD;&#xA;[showcase]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1319" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm a pretty experienced LaTeX user and TeX programmer, so have relatively few questions that really fit the site (so far I've only asked one). (The few things I do ask about tend to go to c.t.t, where there are some _very_ experienced TeX programmers.) I hope that has not made me a bad moderator, as in the past I've asked enough questions elsewhere to know _how_ to phrase a good question. So I'd say that asking lots of questions here is not crucial to being a good moderator. What's needed is patience with new members of the community and the ability to explain what _makes_ a good question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep**: I don't think having asked many questions is important for qualifying as a moderator. Stefan Kottwitz and Joseph Wright IMO have been performing excellent as pro tem mods while asking only 4 resp. 1 question(s).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I *do* think, though, that Andrew hit on something important in his chat remark: I wouldn't vote for a mod candidate who only seldom or never casts votes on question/answers. Separating the wheat from the chaff (so to speak) and making the best questions highly visible is a core aspect of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): I guess it does certainly help to know the site from both perspectives, but as the pro tem moderation team has show that it is not strictly necessary. More important is to know *how* to ask a good question and to have some patience with new users that don't know that yet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I was first drawn to this site by a question, and I've definitely asked my fair share and upvoted hundreds of answers.  As a I moderator I would obviously draw upon that experience and treat all users, especially n00bs, with respect.  I can't say that it would make me a better moderator than Joseph (just to use an example of someone who admits he hasn't), but it would make me a better moderator than a version of myself without the experience of the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer): I think that active participation and knowledge of all aspect of tex.sx is important for a moderator. Asking questions is important, but might be one of the lower priorities a moderator should concentrate on. However, asking the right questions which aren't discussed yet, even if the answer is already known to this person, could help to make this site even more valuable then it is right now. Also I can fully understand that some power users, especially well known Gurus, do not come into the situation to need to ask (real) questions here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To pick up the other topic lockstep already mentioned above: I also think *voting* is a much better indicator of the community involvement of a moderator-to-be. This sites lives from votes! Not only to distinguish the good answers from the less good ones, but also to elevate the good users and give them the privileges they deserve and need to participate even more. Votes are our form of *spice* and as we all know [*The spice must flow*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_spice_must_flow)!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** I don't think the two are related. As already pointed out, our current moderators weren't the most avid question askers, but did a commendable job nevertheless. The moderators should know how to tell a good question apart from a bad one, and how to deal with substandard ones (comment, edit, close, delete). Tolerance and &quot;human touch&quot; towards new users is far more important&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Stefan Kottwitz**][2] I think it's important to get familiar with all aspects of the site. This includes the experience of creating one or more questions with our site interface but also dealing with the answers: voting some up or down, how many, which one to choose for accepting, giving feedback in comments, receiving comments and reacting to that. It took me some time to figure out some own questions, because I know how to find answers myself and I'm used to that. But I wished to try posting questions and so I found some which were interesting for me, real and not just for testing--respecting answering TeX users and appreciating their feedback.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** I ask a lot of questions, but I don't think that qualifies me to be a good moderator. I obviously think the questions I ask are good questions and I don't think they should ever require moderator attention. I suppose one aspect of asking questions that is relevant to moderating is thinking carefully about whether a question is a duplicate. I suppose that if you weren't in the habit of asking questions regularly, you might have a different attitude towards this issue. I think when you're learning this stuff, there are questions that seem quite distinct that are obviously the same question to experienced users. So perhaps my having asked a lot of questions makes me more lenient on duplicates?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/86/andrew-stacey&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213/stefan-kottwitz" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But for the particular font used in the body of the site, people seemed to be keen on having a sans-serif font because it does tend to look better on screen, while serif fonts usually look better when printed on paper. I think that the “classic” think about TeX is not necessarily the use of serif fonts, but its obsession about the correct use of typography for clarity and ease of reading. There were suggestions about using Helvetica, but also concerns about the font (or decent alternatives) being available on most web browsers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, about the logo, most people seemed to like [TeXnique](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/519/write-an-elevator-pitch-tagline), or something along those lines, to identify the site.

I believe using a Zapf font would be very fitting; not only is Hermann Zapf kind of the ultimate font designer, he also worked very closely with Knuth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  The perceived danger that this would make the site look too antique, and not enough focused on precision could be mitigated by “resolving” the strokes into vector outlines or guide lines, like in this picture:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  ![FontForge logo][]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Of course this is rather too specific and I’m not a designer. I just wanted to mention that I think a font like Zapfino *could* be made to work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All in all, I’m very excited to see the final layout!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[FontForge logo]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GWdRb.jpg&#xD;&#xA;[title]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/519&#xD;&#xA;[title2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/524&#xD;&#xA;[showcase]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1319" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

AFAIR, the general agreement was that these are okay, as long as they are **formulated as [meaningful] questions**. In your particular example, it could look something like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;I'm trying to do [foo] in my thesis, and I tried the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;&lt;decent amount of black magic code and helpful comments&gt;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That works all right, however, my [bar] is not exactly [squiggle], so I tried then packages `tikz` (people always suggest this), and [shnoo].

Also, I would want to do this in {Con|Lua|La|Xe|XeLa}TeX{t|}, but I'd settle for a TeX solution as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;Also, we had some discussion lately on whether answerers should try to improve submitter's code beyond what she requires -- fixing obsolete packages and commands, for example, and the [general consensus][1] seems to be that it's perfectly okay, if the time permits.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/611/should-we-evangelize-correct-use-in-our-answers" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Well, actually, I know that I don't like it.  I'm just not sure whether I'm being a bit over-sensitive or not.  It seems a bit small and petty (of me), but first impressions are important.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing I **really really like** about TeX-SX is how friendly we try to be, particular with new users.  This might be a feature of TeX itself: we all remember vividly that day when we sat down to write our first TeX document and stared in bemusement at web pages, books, or whatever as we tried to figure out what on earth was going on.  I think that that shared memory helps us with new users: a lot of stuff here is confusing and it isn't clear at the start how it works.  So when someone comes along and does something wrong, we don't jump on them but try to explain what is the best way of doing things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing that helps with this is our list of [stock messages](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/430/86).  For those who haven't encountered this list, it's a list of templates that can be used in common situations, particularly with new users.  Note the &quot;can be used&quot;.  There is no compulsion about it.  The point is that these make it really easy to be polite!  If you don't have time to compose a detailed specific message, you can just copy one of the templates and know that it won't be rude or abrupt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another thing that helps (I think) is that we take our time.  We have the luxury of doing this because we don't get that many problem posts: TeX-SX is probably one of the easiest sites to work out if something is &quot;on topic&quot; or not.  I know that other sites have problems with this and there, of course, it's important to act fast.  But here I like to think that we give people time to correct their own mistakes.  Certainly when I was a pro-tem moderator we did this, and reading [Joseph's blog post](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/09/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-tex-sx-moderator/) shows that this still continues.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why am I saying all of this?  It's because I just spotted some activity by a non-TeX-SX moderator on the main site which whilst not going against the letter of the law, doesn't take into account our local interpretations of it.  10k users can see the original at http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/26055/86.  For the rest, the story is that a new user posted a question as an answer.  This is common enough that we have a stock message for it.  Werner posted a comment that explained that the situation very nicely (this wasn't the stock message, but is at least as polite which is part of my point about these messages):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Best to ask a new question, since (i) this is not an answer to the question, even though you mention it; (ii) you won't receive the attention required to answer it here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This got a &quot;great comment&quot; vote, though I don't know when that happened.  Shortly after this (2hrs), one of the non-TeX-SX moderators came along and posted this comment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Welcome to LaTeX! If you have another question, please ask it by clicking the Ask Question button. Meanwhile, stating that you know the rule and then ignoring it shows blatant disregard for the effort of our entire community in curating this site. Please respect what we are building here -- we're not just being picky, these are lessons we've learned over years of asking and answering, and making that information as useful as possible for future searchers. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as content goes, I can't fault it.  But as a &quot;welcoming message&quot; then I can.  Quite apart from the site name (I imagine all the ConTeXt users up in arms at this point!), I don't like the &quot;blatant disregard&quot;, nor the &quot;Please respect&quot; phrase (general rule of thumb: any phrase using the word &quot;respect&quot; probably isn't respectful!).  Also, TeX-SX is just a little over a year old and we're a *different* community to the SE/SO one.  We're learning our own lessons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The user went on to post a fresh question and left a new answer at this one saying:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; OK, I have posted another answer. Tx,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since this user didn't have the reputation to comment and is new to the site, that's not actually an unreasonable thing to have done.  It's not the right thing, but they'll learn.  The non-TeX-SX moderator then posted:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Welcome to LaTeX! Please don't add &quot;thanks&quot; as answers. Invest some time in the site and you will gain sufficient privileges to upvote content you like, which is the LaTeX way of saying thank you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now this message looks just a little bit odd.  Why the &quot;Welcome to LaTeX!&quot; again?  Didn't we just have that?  And the second sentence doesn't make any sense at all.  This isn't a &quot;Thanks&quot; message.  Okay, it has &quot;Tx&quot; in it (which I guess expands to &quot;Thanks&quot;).  The last sentence is similarly brusque to the previous message.  So this one has me a little confused.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Until I look at the time stamps on this second exchange.  The user posted their question, and their &quot;Tx&quot; message **before** the non-TeX-SX moderator appeared on the scene.  The &quot;Tx&quot; message was to *Werner*!  So the whole situation was over before the non-TeX-SX moderator appeared, the new user had learnt about posting new questions, okay they needed to know about non-answers (but we have a **polite** stock message for that too).  They had even been given an answer to their question in this time!  So all that was really needed by a moderator was to delete those two non-answers, and even that wasn't urgent as the user had learnt what to do and Werner's comment contained all the necessary information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The more I look at the non-TeX-SX moderator's comments, the more they look like stock comments themselves.  If true, this would be a bit ironic given Jeff Atwood's comment on our stock comments thread:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I'm not a huge fan of any automated &quot;one size fits all&quot; processes like this, but as an experiment to see what happens, it's OK.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now I could try to contact the non-TeX-SX moderator themself.  They have asked a question (one!) here, though I don't really think that they are a member of our community yet.  Indeed, I hope that this moderator joins in this discussion.  But really I want to know what *our* community thinks of this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, I may be just jumping at shadows.  This may be a single event and not a precursor of more intervention from the SE team.  If so, I'll be happy.  If not, I'll be worried.  I **like** our community.  It's not perfect, but it's a lot nicer than any of the other SE sites I've participated in (though photography gets close).  Of course we want to make it better, and would welcome help in doing so, but this doesn't feel helpful to me." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Although I think we should encourage users to write clean questions, we also want to make them feel welcome, and I wonder if having their first feedback from the community be a reprimand for their use of a simple greeting accomplishes that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2.

It's not necessary to sign your questions (as there is already a box with your username below it) or to begin them with a greeting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;but it could still use some work.  I left out &quot;Note that&quot; since it doesn't make any difference in the sentence and only serves to make the writer sound/seem important.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&quot;Customary&quot; might be a better replacement for &quot;usual&quot;, although &quot;uncustomary&quot; doesn't really have the right connotation either.

If you'd like to point the moderator's attention to an issue related to a particular question and answer, use the *Flag* button below every post. You might find the already predefined categories useful, but if not, use the free edit field to describe your problem. This is the method that would guarantee you the fastest reply. You only need 15 reputation in order to do this. Moderators can respond back through a message in your global inbox, or at certain isolated cases, through email. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Hang out in chat**. If a matter requires a lengthy discussion with back-and-forth posts, this is probably the most efficient way to do it. Be sure to address the moderator with @ before their screen name, so that they would get a notification even if not in chat currently. Moderators hang out in chat often, and there are also some old-time users which might be of assistance as well. You only need 20 reputation in order to join the chat room permanently, otherwise you are restricted to only 2 hours there &lt;sup&gt;[citation needed]&lt;/sup&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Post a meta question**. If your issue concerns the TeX-SE community at large rather than only you personally, consider posting a question on [our meta][1].

You only need 5 reputation to do this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How **NOT** to attract moderator attention:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Do not create questions, answers and comments, hijacking unrelated discussions.** These will be quickly closed as off-topic or thoroughly deleted, and a moderator might heed your call for attention with a gentle reminder to read the FAQ before posting in this manner. This only creates extra noise and work for everybody on the site, so avoid this practice and choose other venues to communicate your problem to the moderators.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There have been some really neat answers to problems developed on the site, and I think it would be nice to put them together in to some sort of easily usable state.  My reasons are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It's easier to download a single package/style file than to cut and paste a load of code from here, there, and everywhere into ones preamble.&#xD;&#xA;1. Some of the code could do with a bit of polishing (for example, putting in to a macro, hiding internal bits) that are standard when making a package, but not when posting an answer here. &#xD;&#xA;1. **Publicity:** Ideally, these would get used and the people who used them would find out about us.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By doing this as a collective venture, I hope that:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It is a real _community_ project.  I'm not so naive that I think that loads of people will do the necessary work, but hopefully lots of people will see what's going on and at least feel as though it's based on the community's collective work.&#xD;&#xA;1. It isn't loads of work for any one person.  Most of the stuff I'm thinking of is already workable, so I'm hoping it won't take too much work to put it together.&#xD;&#xA;1. This is only the first of many ...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On that last note, I'm picking TikZ because it's the area I think I've contributed most to.  Also, there's a reasonable volume of TikZ answers here to choose from, and a good number of people contributing them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**First Steps:** We need some code to put in the package, and some volunteers willing to take part.  I think that we can adapt the SE software to gather all that information here! So:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you like or dislike the idea, vote on **this question** accordingly.&#xD;&#xA;1. Propose (and link to) TikZ/PGF answers on the main site that you would like to see in such a package in answers to this question, one link per answer.  Also vote for those you like (but the people who volunteer to put it together will have the final say).  Please bear in mind that to be worth putting in a package, it has to be something that you can envision being used several times.  **Proposing your own answers** is not only acceptable but actively encouraged.  If, when reading an answer, something occurs to you as a possible improvement, please make a note of it (just the idea at this stage).&#xD;&#xA;1. In **one** answer, we can collect names of volunteers who are willing to do a bit of extra work polishing the answers.  I'll start this off, make it CW, and &quot;accept&quot; it (when I can) to ensure that it is easily distinguished from the rest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Template for proposals&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ### TikZ/PGF Answer:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ### Brief Description:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ### Possible Improvements:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Further discussion on this topic is available here:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1248/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/766853#766853" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I might even go there and say that for me, it's almost more important to make questions applicable to a wider audience, i.e. more people with the same or a very similar problem, than helping the user who asked the question. The good thing, however, is that if you help &quot;every&quot; user out there, you'll also help the user who had the problem in the first place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So this is really an essential concept that I try to keep in mind whenever I act on tex.sx, no matter if I ask a question, answer one, or edit posts. This also is the reason why we're on a perpetual hunt for duplicate questions: All the information and help for one problem should be in one place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Coming back to your question about &quot;thanks&quot;: &quot;Personal&quot; bits like that are not really relevant for an abstract problem that aims to be maximally widely applicable.&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Some personal background for the problem, e.g. for identifying [XY-problems][4], can be useful, but it might be a good approach to separate this from the core question, like I attempted to in http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/25701/bibtex-vs-biber-and-biblatex-vs-natbib. But really, there's no general rule for that. For phrases truly irrelevant for the problem (i.e. &quot;thanks&quot;), however, it's definitely better to leave them out, even though it might feel to you like you're being rude. Rest assured that **the best form of thankfulness that you can show to our community is asking well-prepared questions with MWEs and helping with other tasks**, which you'll gradually be introduced to [as your reputation increases][5].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Nonetheless, I feel like our community has a personal feel to it, just from conversations in the comments, in chat, and our blog. Besides that, many members (if not all?) have their characteristic style of answering; two examples that come to my mind and that actually happen to be middle-range rep users are [Paulo][6], with his abundantly good-willed and duck-heavy answers, or [ガベージコレクタ][7] [_or whatever their current user name may be_], with their amazing, uncalled-for, randomly animated PSTricks answers.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/vsYuA.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/about &quot;Venn diagram: Wiki, Digg/Reddit, Blog, Forum&quot;&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2449/what-does-xy-problem-mean&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/3094/paulo-cereda&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/19356/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you'd like to point the moderator's attention to an issue related to a particular question and answer, use the *Flag* button below every post. You might find the already predefined categories useful, but if not, use the free edit field to describe your problem. This is the method that would guarantee you the fastest reply. You only need 15 reputation in order to do this. Moderators can respond back through a message in your global inbox, or at certain isolated cases, through email. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Hang out in chat**. If a matter requires a lengthy discussion with back-and-forth posts, this is probably the most efficient way to do it. Be sure to address the moderator with @ before their screen name, so that they would get a notification even if not in chat currently. Moderators hang out in chat often, and there are also some old-time users which might be of assistance as well. You only need 20 reputation in order to join the chat room permanently, otherwise you are restricted to only 2 hours there &lt;sup&gt;[citation needed]&lt;/sup&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Post a meta question**. If your issue concerns the TeX-SE community at large rather than only you personally, consider posting a question on [our meta][1]. Moderators monitor meta activity frequently, and will be able to respond in due time. You only need 5 reputation to do this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How **NOT** to attract moderator attention:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Do not create questions, answers and comments, hijacking unrelated discussions.** These will be quickly closed as off-topic or thoroughly deleted, and a moderator might heed your call for attention with a gentle reminder to read the FAQ before posting in this manner. This only creates extra noise and work for everybody on the site, so avoid this practice and choose other venues to communicate your problem to the moderators.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'll therefore close the question late on 2012-12-08 (next Saturday), so we (mods) can send the names along in time.

I'm a pretty experienced LaTeX user and TeX programmer, so have relatively few questions that really fit the site (so far I've only asked one). (The few things I do ask about tend to go to c.t.t, where there are some _very_ experienced TeX programmers.) I hope that has not made me a bad moderator, as in the past I've asked enough questions elsewhere to know _how_ to phrase a good question. So I'd say that asking lots of questions here is not crucial to being a good moderator. What's needed is patience with new members of the community and the ability to explain what _makes_ a good question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep**: I don't think having asked many questions is important for qualifying as a moderator. Stefan Kottwitz and Joseph Wright IMO have been performing excellent as pro tem mods while asking only 4 resp. 1 question(s).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I *do* think, though, that Andrew hit on something important in his chat remark: I wouldn't vote for a mod candidate who only seldom or never casts votes on question/answers. Separating the wheat from the chaff (so to speak) and making the best questions highly visible is a core aspect of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): I guess it does certainly help to know the site from both perspectives, but as the pro tem moderation team has show that it is not strictly necessary. More important is to know *how* to ask a good question and to have some patience with new users that don't know that yet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I was first drawn to this site by a question, and I've definitely asked my fair share and upvoted hundreds of answers.  As a I moderator I would obviously draw upon that experience and treat all users, especially n00bs, with respect.  I can't say that it would make me a better moderator than Joseph (just to use an example of someone who admits he hasn't), but it would make me a better moderator than a version of myself without the experience of the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer): I think that active participation and knowledge of all aspect of tex.sx is important for a moderator. Asking questions is important, but might be one of the lower priorities a moderator should concentrate on. However, asking the right questions which aren't discussed yet, even if the answer is already known to this person, could help to make this site even more valuable then it is right now. Also I can fully understand that some power users, especially well known Gurus, do not come into the situation to need to ask (real) questions here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To pick up the other topic lockstep already mentioned above: I also think *voting* is a much better indicator of the community involvement of a moderator-to-be. This sites lives from votes! Not only to distinguish the good answers from the less good ones, but also to elevate the good users and give them the privileges they deserve and need to participate even more. Votes are our form of *spice* and as we all know [*The spice must flow*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_spice_must_flow)!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** I don't think the two are related. As already pointed out, our current moderators weren't the most avid question askers, but did a commendable job nevertheless. The moderators should know how to tell a good question apart from a bad one, and how to deal with substandard ones (comment, edit, close, delete). Tolerance and &quot;human touch&quot; towards new users is far more important&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Stefan Kottwitz**][2] I think it's important to get familiar with all aspects of the site. This includes the experience of creating one or more questions with our site interface but also dealing with the answers: voting some up or down, how many, which one to choose for accepting, giving feedback in comments, receiving comments and reacting to that. It took me some time to figure out some own questions, because I know how to find answers myself and I'm used to that. But I wished to try posting questions and so I found some which were interesting for me, real and not just for testing--respecting answering TeX users and appreciating their feedback.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** I ask a lot of questions, but I don't think that qualifies me to be a good moderator. I obviously think the questions I ask are good questions and I don't think they should ever require moderator attention. I suppose one aspect of asking questions that is relevant to moderating is thinking carefully about whether a question is a duplicate. I suppose that if you weren't in the habit of asking questions regularly, you might have a different attitude towards this issue. I think when you're learning this stuff, there are questions that seem quite distinct that are obviously the same question to experienced users. So perhaps my having asked a lot of questions makes me more lenient on duplicates?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/86/andrew-stacey&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213/stefan-kottwitz" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

From my reading here and there, I've gathered the impression (perhaps false!) that this is the sort of thing that SE in principle is in favour of.  So I have another suggestion along these lines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I should say before I say what it is that I have contacted *neither* party in this regard so do not know if either side would be amenable to this suggestion.  My purpose is to determine the support from our community (the TeX-SX site) before deciding whether to take it further.  Of course, if either side stop by they should feel free to say &quot;Yes, this would be great&quot; or &quot;No, we'd never consider this&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's the suggestion. The one TeX-related site that I'd say has had the most beneficial impact on the TeX scene in decades is without doubt [detexify][1].  I'd be willing to bet that we send a heck of a lot of traffic to detexify.  What if there were a discreet link on the detexify site that said something like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Detexify is (partially) sponsored by TeX-SX.  If you've got a question about TeX that detexify can't answer, try there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I probably have the syntax all wrong, but by [my count](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/s/1942/posts-mentioning-detexify) there are 50 posts on the main site containing the word &quot;detexify&quot;.  Given the number of times we duplicate back to the original &quot;How do I look up a symbol?&quot; I'd say this was a vast *under* estimate of its importance on this site alone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So … what do people think of this idea?  Should we pursue it?  Are there things that I've not thought of?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(**Edit** There's an 8 month-old post on the detexify blog that suggests that the writer of detexify would not be opposed to receiving funds: http://detexify.posterous.com/detexify-needs-help)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; [1]: http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

From my reading here and there, I've gathered the impression (perhaps false!) that this is the sort of thing that SE in principle is in favour of.  So I have another suggestion along these lines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I should say before I say what it is that I have contacted *neither* party in this regard so do not know if either side would be amenable to this suggestion.  My purpose is to determine the support from our community (the TeX-SX site) before deciding whether to take it further.  Of course, if either side stop by they should feel free to say &quot;Yes, this would be great&quot; or &quot;No, we'd never consider this&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's the suggestion. The one TeX-related site that I'd say has had the most beneficial impact on the TeX scene in decades is without doubt [detexify][1].  I'd be willing to bet that we send a heck of a lot of traffic to detexify.  What if there were a discreet link on the detexify site that said something like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Detexify is (partially) sponsored by TeX-SX.  If you've got a question about TeX that detexify can't answer, try there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I probably have the syntax all wrong, but by [my count](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/s/1942/posts-mentioning-detexify) there are 50 posts on the main site containing the word &quot;detexify&quot;.  Given the number of times we duplicate back to the original &quot;How do I look up a symbol?&quot; I'd say this was a vast *under* estimate of its importance on this site alone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So … what do people think of this idea?  Should we pursue it?  Are there things that I've not thought of?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(**Edit** There's an 8 month-old post on the detexify blog that suggests that the writer of detexify would not be opposed to receiving funds: http://detexify.posterous.com/detexify-needs-help)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; [1]: http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Well, actually, I know that I don't like it.  I'm just not sure whether I'm being a bit over-sensitive or not.  It seems a bit small and petty (of me), but first impressions are important.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing I **really really like** about TeX-SX is how friendly we try to be, particular with new users.  This might be a feature of TeX itself: we all remember vividly that day when we sat down to write our first TeX document and stared in bemusement at web pages, books, or whatever as we tried to figure out what on earth was going on.  I think that that shared memory helps us with new users: a lot of stuff here is confusing and it isn't clear at the start how it works.  So when someone comes along and does something wrong, we don't jump on them but try to explain what is the best way of doing things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing that helps with this is our list of [stock messages](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/430/86).  For those who haven't encountered this list, it's a list of templates that can be used in common situations, particularly with new users.  Note the &quot;can be used&quot;.  There is no compulsion about it.  The point is that these make it really easy to be polite!  If you don't have time to compose a detailed specific message, you can just copy one of the templates and know that it won't be rude or abrupt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another thing that helps (I think) is that we take our time.  We have the luxury of doing this because we don't get that many problem posts: TeX-SX is probably one of the easiest sites to work out if something is &quot;on topic&quot; or not.  I know that other sites have problems with this and there, of course, it's important to act fast.  But here I like to think that we give people time to correct their own mistakes.  Certainly when I was a pro-tem moderator we did this, and reading [Joseph's blog post](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/09/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-tex-sx-moderator/) shows that this still continues.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why am I saying all of this?  It's because I just spotted some activity by a non-TeX-SX moderator on the main site which whilst not going against the letter of the law, doesn't take into account our local interpretations of it.  10k users can see the original at http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/26055/86.  For the rest, the story is that a new user posted a question as an answer.  This is common enough that we have a stock message for it.  Werner posted a comment that explained that the situation very nicely (this wasn't the stock message, but is at least as polite which is part of my point about these messages):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Best to ask a new question, since (i) this is not an answer to the question, even though you mention it; (ii) you won't receive the attention required to answer it here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This got a &quot;great comment&quot; vote, though I don't know when that happened.  Shortly after this (2hrs), one of the non-TeX-SX moderators came along and posted this comment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Welcome to LaTeX! If you have another question, please ask it by clicking the Ask Question button. Meanwhile, stating that you know the rule and then ignoring it shows blatant disregard for the effort of our entire community in curating this site. Please respect what we are building here -- we're not just being picky, these are lessons we've learned over years of asking and answering, and making that information as useful as possible for future searchers. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as content goes, I can't fault it.  But as a &quot;welcoming message&quot; then I can.  Quite apart from the site name (I imagine all the ConTeXt users up in arms at this point!), I don't like the &quot;blatant disregard&quot;, nor the &quot;Please respect&quot; phrase (general rule of thumb: any phrase using the word &quot;respect&quot; probably isn't respectful!).  Also, TeX-SX is just a little over a year old and we're a *different* community to the SE/SO one.  We're learning our own lessons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The user went on to post a fresh question and left a new answer at this one saying:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; OK, I have posted another answer. Tx,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since this user didn't have the reputation to comment and is new to the site, that's not actually an unreasonable thing to have done.  It's not the right thing, but they'll learn.  The non-TeX-SX moderator then posted:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Welcome to LaTeX! Please don't add &quot;thanks&quot; as answers. Invest some time in the site and you will gain sufficient privileges to upvote content you like, which is the LaTeX way of saying thank you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now this message looks just a little bit odd.  Why the &quot;Welcome to LaTeX!&quot; again?  Didn't we just have that?  And the second sentence doesn't make any sense at all.  This isn't a &quot;Thanks&quot; message.  Okay, it has &quot;Tx&quot; in it (which I guess expands to &quot;Thanks&quot;).  The last sentence is similarly brusque to the previous message.  So this one has me a little confused.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Until I look at the time stamps on this second exchange.  The user posted their question, and their &quot;Tx&quot; message **before** the non-TeX-SX moderator appeared on the scene.  The &quot;Tx&quot; message was to *Werner*!  So the whole situation was over before the non-TeX-SX moderator appeared, the new user had learnt about posting new questions, okay they needed to know about non-answers (but we have a **polite** stock message for that too).  They had even been given an answer to their question in this time!  So all that was really needed by a moderator was to delete those two non-answers, and even that wasn't urgent as the user had learnt what to do and Werner's comment contained all the necessary information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The more I look at the non-TeX-SX moderator's comments, the more they look like stock comments themselves.  If true, this would be a bit ironic given Jeff Atwood's comment on our stock comments thread:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I'm not a huge fan of any automated &quot;one size fits all&quot; processes like this, but as an experiment to see what happens, it's OK.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now I could try to contact the non-TeX-SX moderator themself.  They have asked a question (one!) here, though I don't really think that they are a member of our community yet.  Indeed, I hope that this moderator joins in this discussion.  But really I want to know what *our* community thinks of this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, I may be just jumping at shadows.  This may be a single event and not a precursor of more intervention from the SE team.  If so, I'll be happy.  If not, I'll be worried.  I **like** our community.  It's not perfect, but it's a lot nicer than any of the other SE sites I've participated in (though photography gets close).  Of course we want to make it better, and would welcome help in doing so, but this doesn't feel helpful to me." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The cause for my question is this post: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/13347/use-or-redefine-a-tag-command-in-text-mode. It seems that an anonymous user proposed to fix the typo in &quot;pair of parensis&quot; (which is good), and the suggestion was to change it to &quot;pair of parenthese&quot;.

I'm not demanding that a proposed edit has to catch every single bit, but such incomplete edits don't justify bumping the question half a day later (and moving it one step closer to community wiki).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So here's what I propose: For _anonymous_ incomplete suggested edits, reject the edit and make a more complete edit.

There have been some really neat answers to problems developed on the site, and I think it would be nice to put them together in to some sort of easily usable state.  My reasons are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It's easier to download a single package/style file than to cut and paste a load of code from here, there, and everywhere into ones preamble.&#xD;&#xA;1. Some of the code could do with a bit of polishing (for example, putting in to a macro, hiding internal bits) that are standard when making a package, but not when posting an answer here. &#xD;&#xA;1. **Publicity:** Ideally, these would get used and the people who used them would find out about us.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By doing this as a collective venture, I hope that:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It is a real _community_ project.  I'm not so naive that I think that loads of people will do the necessary work, but hopefully lots of people will see what's going on and at least feel as though it's based on the community's collective work.&#xD;&#xA;1. It isn't loads of work for any one person.  Most of the stuff I'm thinking of is already workable, so I'm hoping it won't take too much work to put it together.&#xD;&#xA;1. This is only the first of many ...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On that last note, I'm picking TikZ because it's the area I think I've contributed most to.  Also, there's a reasonable volume of TikZ answers here to choose from, and a good number of people contributing them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**First Steps:** We need some code to put in the package, and some volunteers willing to take part.  I think that we can adapt the SE software to gather all that information here! So:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you like or dislike the idea, vote on **this question** accordingly.&#xD;&#xA;1. Propose (and link to) TikZ/PGF answers on the main site that you would like to see in such a package in answers to this question, one link per answer.  Also vote for those you like (but the people who volunteer to put it together will have the final say).  Please bear in mind that to be worth putting in a package, it has to be something that you can envision being used several times.  **Proposing your own answers** is not only acceptable but actively encouraged.  If, when reading an answer, something occurs to you as a possible improvement, please make a note of it (just the idea at this stage).&#xD;&#xA;1. In **one** answer, we can collect names of volunteers who are willing to do a bit of extra work polishing the answers.  I'll start this off, make it CW, and &quot;accept&quot; it (when I can) to ensure that it is easily distinguished from the rest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Template for proposals&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ### TikZ/PGF Answer:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ### Brief Description:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ### Possible Improvements:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Further discussion on this topic is available here:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1248/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/766853#766853" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

From my reading here and there, I've gathered the impression (perhaps false!) that this is the sort of thing that SE in principle is in favour of.  So I have another suggestion along these lines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I should say before I say what it is that I have contacted *neither* party in this regard so do not know if either side would be amenable to this suggestion.

The one TeX-related site that I'd say has had the most beneficial impact on the TeX scene in decades is without doubt [detexify][1].

Given the number of times we duplicate back to the original &quot;How do I look up a symbol?&quot; I'd say this was a vast *under* estimate of its importance on this site alone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So … what do people think of this idea?  Should we pursue it?

Also, it'd be good to a notice (or a link to this discussion) when rolling back an undesired capitalization edit to a previous version. To do so, you need to use the [edit] link at the revision you want to reinstate instead of the [rollback] link.

I prefer to look at the SE policy as an inspiration for communites to work with a predefined set of suggestions and, as time goes by, work on their own methods, adapted to their own reality.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMHO the key here is to learn how the TeX.sx gears work as a single component. We are known to be a very friendly community, from TeXperts to newbies. Even what happens to be our policy is treated as guidelines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I don't see anything wrong with being nice, polite or grateful to any help received. I love writing something along these lines in my own questions because I really appreciate the time and effort put in each question. And I usually &quot;sign&quot; my answers in this site with &quot;hope it helps! `:)`&quot; or similar simply because I really want the OP to feel welcome, in the sense of &quot;hi, maybe my attempt can help with your question!&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem here, as I see, is that we are dealing with minor edits. I'm not used to play with the review system, but sometimes we see some edits that are considered minor, like some punctuation issues or a &quot;proper capitalization&quot; of a sentence. Edits are surely welcome, but we can't forget that:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. edits usually update the activity of a thread, that is, if you edit a 2-year-old question or answer, it will be featured in the front page and more recent threads (considering creation timestamp) will be placed in a lower rank in the list;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. edits have the &quot;moral duty&quot; of going towards better comprehension of the thread as a whole; and&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. edits cannot drastically change the original text, for better or for worse.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I already removed *thank you*'s in the past, but not as the only reason for an edit. Nowadays, I'm more in the *live and let live*  edit philosophy. Of course, everybody has different opinions about this, but:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- edits that *only* remove *thank you* notes might be considered a minor edit, hence rejected;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- edits that remove *thank you* notes or other minor edits in old threads are strongly discouraged, and will certainly be rejected; and&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- edits that don't improve the text do not add value, hence rejected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, it's imperative to *always* leave a comment on why you edited a question or answer. We have some predefined text building blocks in https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/430 which might help.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd keep *thank you*'s. It doesn't hurt. If it's a major edit (usually code formatting), it's up to every editor to decide if a *thank you* note should be removed, but we cannot be picky on editing a text for the sole purpose of beating the OP with a stick just because of an act of kindness.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Internet is already a hateful place.

I'm not sure whether or not this is a reason to deviate from this site's style so decisively, but I'd recommend she add a note to her profile about her doing so. Also, it'd be good to a notice (or a link to this discussion) when rolling back an undesired capitalization edit to a previous version. To do so, you need to use the [edit] link at the revision you want to reinstate instead of the [rollback] link. You're still effectively doing a rollback, but you can add an edit summary explaining the matter. This way, future capitalizations can be avoided. All this is assuming the not-capitalization is condoned.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In general, you're in line with https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/340/when-is-it-and-isnt-acceptable-to-edit: Only edit for &quot;Fixing typos or grammar errors&quot; if the question is on top of the list anyways (or if you're editing for another reason already). However, if a question is really terribly full of spelling mistakes, I tend to edit it anyway; I like to keep the _Wikipedia aspect_ of tex.sx in mind, i.e. as a reference site beyond just helping one particular user.

I'm also a little nervous of the &quot;related typesetting system&quot; - it's not clear what that is.  How &quot;related&quot; does a typesetting system have to be?  Sibling?  First cousin?  Third cousin, twice removed?  I realise that conciseness is key here, but concise and precise are not mutually exclusive.  How about &quot;Is your question about TeX or a TeX-based typesetting system?&quot;&#xD;&#xA;1. Second sentence: I'd rather go for *focus* than the answer/discussion divide.  I'd also steer clear of saying things like &quot;We prefer&quot; as if we've sat down and made a list of all the things we don't like (Questions that give rise to discussion, Word, cats, things that go bump in the night, Paulo's graphics) and decided to ban them all from the site.  How about &quot;Your question is more likely to get answered if it is focussed.&quot; (and the double s is non-negotiable).&#xD;&#xA;1. Third and fourth &quot;sentence&quot;s.  They aren't.  Sentences, I mean.  Seriously.  Let's be grammatical about this.  And &quot;research&quot;?  What research?  Should I link all of my articles?  Is it really going to help someone answer my question on expansion to know what is the [Topology of the space of piecewise-smooth loops](http://www.math.ntnu.no/~stacey/Research/Preprints/piecewise.html)?  What do these *mean*?  For us, they mean &quot;Show what you've already tried.&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;1. The link to the more detailed &quot;how to ask&quot; page is &quot;asking help&quot;.  Is that &quot;help about asking&quot; or &quot;if you want more help, here's where to ask&quot;?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes, I'm nitpicking.  But the people for whom this box will be useful are the people new to the site for whom the default assumptions that this box makes (about familiarity with the SE system) will not apply, or at least are less likely to apply.

I've already [asked about the generic text](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3632/text-for-off-topic-closure) and for some [predefined off-topic close reasons](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3608/new-close-reasons-selecting-predefined-off-topic-options). However, I think I at least didn't quite see _how_ this was going to work. So I'd like to ask about this again, but with a better understanding of how things are 'supposed' to work and with more background.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Background&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The idea of the new 'off-topic' approach is that the person who asked the question gets 'concrete' feedback on why their particular question was closed. This is made clear in a [meta post giving moderators advice](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/184637/what-do-site-moderators-need-to-do-to-support-the-new-custom-question-close-reas/185097), which says (amongst many things)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;At a bare minimum, **off-topic reasons should identify a _specific_ topic considered inappropriate**. If you're struggling to be specific, find an example of a question that is off-topic and discuss the factors that make it inappropriate for the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see, the 'Powers' are after specifics rather than a more general 'this is one of the things we don't do' answer. (In the mod chat room, it was also suggested that a list of 'please do not ask about ...' in the help would be useful.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Mechanism&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The mechanism which has been set up gives us broadly three possibilities within the 'off-topic' closure reason:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Vote to close for a _specific_ predefined reason&#xD;&#xA; 2. Vote to migrate to another site&#xD;&#xA; 3. Vote to close and give a free-text reason for the vote&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If someone has already used option (3), later voters will see this reason as an option, too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The concept is then that as long as at least two people vote in the same way, a specific reason is given for closure. If all of the votes are different, then the question gets the default text, currently&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This question does not appear to be about TeX, LaTeX or related typesetting systems, within the scope defined in the [help center](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So changing that is actually not so useful: it's only really meant to pop up in a small number of cases where there's no agreement on why something is off-topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##What we need to do&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two things we need to do if this is going to work. Here, I want to focus on one of them: deciding on up to three pre-defined 'off-topic' reasons. We also need to 'fix' migration paths (they've all vanished), but I will address that separately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see in the [guidance for moderators](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/184637/what-do-site-moderators-need-to-do-to-support-the-new-custom-question-close-reas/185097), the suggestion is to come up with a list of common reasons for closure, and create texts for these which include guidance for the questioner. I guess one reason per answer would be best as we can then vote on them. Following the model suggested by the 'Powers', I think some form of link to a meta question or similar, which 'expands' on why a question is off-topic, might be useful within each text.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Notes&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The way the 'Powers' see off-topic, reasons here might cover things we've previously closed in other ways.  At the same time, it may also be the case that there are alternative approaches to different cases. Some examples:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - A [question on meta.SO](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/186366) asked about questions which turn out to be typos in the input. The suggestion there is that such questions should be flagged for deletion, as they are not really useful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Questions which turn out to require a package update could reasonably be answered rather than being closed at all. It's arguable that these may actually be pretty general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Out-and-out bug reports could be added to the help as a 'do not ask about' point, as well as potentially having a custom close reason.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Over time, we can of course alter what reasons we feel are 'most common'. So the list will not be set in stone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The 'custom text' closure reason&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's worth noting that the 'Other (add a comment explaining what is wrong)' sub-choice for off-topic is meant to enable us to give a _specific_ reason for closing a question. For example, rather than just&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &gt; your question is off topic&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;you can imagine saying (for a hypothetical example)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &gt; While _using_ or _understanding_ the Knuth-Plass algorithm in TeX is on-topic, implementing the algorithm in Python (or any other programming language) is not, as it requires general programming expertise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other people can then vote for this specific and (hopefully) useful text."

On [Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com), [Super User](http://superuser.com) and [Server Fault](http://serverfault.com) the Google+ icon is less distracting because its saturation is more in sync with the surrounding icons.

I'm also a little nervous of the &quot;related typesetting system&quot; - it's not clear what that is.  How &quot;related&quot; does a typesetting system have to be?  Sibling?  First cousin?  Third cousin, twice removed?  I realise that conciseness is key here, but concise and precise are not mutually exclusive.  How about &quot;Is your question about TeX or a TeX-based typesetting system?&quot;&#xD;&#xA;1. Second sentence: I'd rather go for *focus* than the answer/discussion divide.  I'd also steer clear of saying things like &quot;We prefer&quot; as if we've sat down and made a list of all the things we don't like (Questions that give rise to discussion, Word, cats, things that go bump in the night, Paulo's graphics) and decided to ban them all from the site.  How about &quot;Your question is more likely to get answered if it is focussed.&quot; (and the double s is non-negotiable).&#xD;&#xA;1. Third and fourth &quot;sentence&quot;s.  They aren't.  Sentences, I mean.  Seriously.  Let's be grammatical about this.  And &quot;research&quot;?  What research?  Should I link all of my articles?  Is it really going to help someone answer my question on expansion to know what is the [Topology of the space of piecewise-smooth loops](http://www.math.ntnu.no/~stacey/Research/Preprints/piecewise.html)?  What do these *mean*?  For us, they mean &quot;Show what you've already tried.&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;1. The link to the more detailed &quot;how to ask&quot; page is &quot;asking help&quot;.  Is that &quot;help about asking&quot; or &quot;if you want more help, here's where to ask&quot;?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes, I'm nitpicking.

That tells me that both the StackExchange team and the local 'community' on the site are doing good work. What the TUG membership adds to this is twofold: supporting TeX beyond the site _and_ enhancing the benefits of the site for a group of our members each year.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TUG is the worldwide group for TeX users, organises yearly meetings about TeX and related ideas, supports TeX developments (for example font and LuaTeX coding) and provides a central point for contacts. That needs resources both in terms of people and money: StackExchange's membership of TUG helps directly with the latter, and more broadly being an institutional member shows that TUG membership is an important thing and so helps promotion within the community. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For our 'representatives', the TUG membership offers something tangible out of their work on the site, and hopefully helps them to broaden their TeX knowledge. The journal of TUG, [_TUGBoat_](http://tug.org/tugboat/), is always a good read and offers insight into lots of areas of interest to TeX users. We get to select new representatives each year, assuming the membership continues, so this benefit gets 'spread around' over time: great for newer members.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of how we'll select representatives if the membership continues, the model to date seems to have worked well. The approach I think we'll take is this. I'll open a meta thread asking for self-nominations, where interested members can put their names down. I'll also ask them to delete the answers immediately after posting, and give it a little while (say 5 days) to allow people to put themselves forward. I'll then undelete all of the answers, and give a period for voting (again say 5 days). The moderators will then forward a list of 'reps' to the StackExchange staff based on the voting but with a casting vote in case of a tie and with the right to add additional names in the event that there are not 8 positively-voted nominees."

I see only one of the following possibilities&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. a user has serially voted for 11 days without the script noticing it;&#xD;&#xA;2. two users have serially voted for 5 days without the script noticing it;&#xD;&#xA;3. more than two users have serially voted in the same time frame.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;None of them seems likely. Are there other possibilities?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note: this hasn't had any impact on my reputation, since the nullified votes have in most cases been replaced by valid votes that hadn't contributed to the reputation because of the cap. The question is general: this possible bug may have heavy impact on other user's reputation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT&#xD;&#xA;--&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd like to add some data. My current number of answers is 1773 in 347 days, which gives an average of 5.1 answers per day. So the suspected serial voter can't vote more than 5 answers a day, which means 87 days. Assuming four serial voters that act every day, this means 22 days.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another hypothesis is that, when a serial vote is detected, *all* votes from that user to the target are nullified. This is absurd.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm pretty sure that many users upvote almost all my answers. Does this qualify as &quot;serial voting&quot;? Is this the case? If it is, the algorithm is flawed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 2&#xD;&#xA;--&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reputation graph is clearly wrong and surely offensive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I *didn't* lose 4015 rep points on March 2 as the graph seems to imply. The new system takes care not to show lost reputation for deleted answers, while, to the contrary, in my case it shows utterly wrong data. On March 2 I indeed got 345 reputation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can understand that StackExchange nullifies some upvotes because of suspect serial voting (which is *not* my case, but it's only my opinion); I can't understand why such a big *non loss* of reputation is gigantically exposed for all to see, when I did *nothing* wrong (I have received *six* downvotes and have 1798 answers)."

I'm also a little nervous of the &quot;related typesetting system&quot; - it's not clear what that is.  How &quot;related&quot; does a typesetting system have to be?  Sibling?  First cousin?  Third cousin, twice removed?  I realise that conciseness is key here, but concise and precise are not mutually exclusive.  How about &quot;Is your question about TeX or a TeX-based typesetting system?&quot;&#xD;&#xA;1. Second sentence: I'd rather go for *focus* than the answer/discussion divide.  I'd also steer clear of saying things like &quot;We prefer&quot; as if we've sat down and made a list of all the things we don't like (Questions that give rise to discussion, Word, cats, things that go bump in the night, Paulo's graphics) and decided to ban them all from the site.  How about &quot;Your question is more likely to get answered if it is focussed.&quot; (and the double s is non-negotiable).&#xD;&#xA;1. Third and fourth &quot;sentence&quot;s.  They aren't.  Sentences, I mean.  Seriously.  Let's be grammatical about this.  And &quot;research&quot;?  What research?  Should I link all of my articles?  Is it really going to help someone answer my question on expansion to know what is the [Topology of the space of piecewise-smooth loops](http://www.math.ntnu.no/~stacey/Research/Preprints/piecewise.html)?  What do these *mean*?  For us, they mean &quot;Show what you've already tried.&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;1. The link to the more detailed &quot;how to ask&quot; page is &quot;asking help&quot;.  Is that &quot;help about asking&quot; or &quot;if you want more help, here's where to ask&quot;?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes, I'm nitpicking.

I see only one of the following possibilities&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. a user has serially voted for 11 days without the script noticing it;&#xD;&#xA;2. two users have serially voted for 5 days without the script noticing it;&#xD;&#xA;3. more than two users have serially voted in the same time frame.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;None of them seems likely. Are there other possibilities?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note: this hasn't had any impact on my reputation, since the nullified votes have in most cases been replaced by valid votes that hadn't contributed to the reputation because of the cap. The question is general: this possible bug may have heavy impact on other user's reputation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT&#xD;&#xA;--&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd like to add some data. My current number of answers is 1773 in 347 days, which gives an average of 5.1 answers per day. So the suspected serial voter can't vote more than 5 answers a day, which means 87 days. Assuming four serial voters that act every day, this means 22 days.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another hypothesis is that, when a serial vote is detected, *all* votes from that user to the target are nullified. This is absurd.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm pretty sure that many users upvote almost all my answers. Does this qualify as &quot;serial voting&quot;? Is this the case? If it is, the algorithm is flawed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 2&#xD;&#xA;--&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reputation graph is clearly wrong and surely offensive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I *didn't* lose 4015 rep points on March 2 as the graph seems to imply. The new system takes care not to show lost reputation for deleted answers, while, to the contrary, in my case it shows utterly wrong data. On March 2 I indeed got 345 reputation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can understand that StackExchange nullifies some upvotes because of suspect serial voting (which is *not* my case, but it's only my opinion); I can't understand why such a big *non loss* of reputation is gigantically exposed for all to see, when I did *nothing* wrong (I have received *six* downvotes and have 1798 answers)."

Well, actually, I know that I don't like it.  I'm just not sure whether I'm being a bit over-sensitive or not.  It seems a bit small and petty (of me), but first impressions are important.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing I **really really like** about TeX-SX is how friendly we try to be, particular with new users.  This might be a feature of TeX itself: we all remember vividly that day when we sat down to write our first TeX document and stared in bemusement at web pages, books, or whatever as we tried to figure out what on earth was going on.  I think that that shared memory helps us with new users: a lot of stuff here is confusing and it isn't clear at the start how it works.  So when someone comes along and does something wrong, we don't jump on them but try to explain what is the best way of doing things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing that helps with this is our list of [stock messages](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/430/86).  For those who haven't encountered this list, it's a list of templates that can be used in common situations, particularly with new users.  Note the &quot;can be used&quot;.  There is no compulsion about it.  The point is that these make it really easy to be polite!  If you don't have time to compose a detailed specific message, you can just copy one of the templates and know that it won't be rude or abrupt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another thing that helps (I think) is that we take our time.  We have the luxury of doing this because we don't get that many problem posts: TeX-SX is probably one of the easiest sites to work out if something is &quot;on topic&quot; or not.  I know that other sites have problems with this and there, of course, it's important to act fast.  But here I like to think that we give people time to correct their own mistakes.  Certainly when I was a pro-tem moderator we did this, and reading [Joseph's blog post](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/09/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-tex-sx-moderator/) shows that this still continues.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why am I saying all of this?  It's because I just spotted some activity by a non-TeX-SX moderator on the main site which whilst not going against the letter of the law, doesn't take into account our local interpretations of it.  10k users can see the original at http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/26055/86.  For the rest, the story is that a new user posted a question as an answer.  This is common enough that we have a stock message for it.  Werner posted a comment that explained that the situation very nicely (this wasn't the stock message, but is at least as polite which is part of my point about these messages):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Best to ask a new question, since (i) this is not an answer to the question, even though you mention it; (ii) you won't receive the attention required to answer it here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This got a &quot;great comment&quot; vote, though I don't know when that happened.  Shortly after this (2hrs), one of the non-TeX-SX moderators came along and posted this comment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Welcome to LaTeX! If you have another question, please ask it by clicking the Ask Question button. Meanwhile, stating that you know the rule and then ignoring it shows blatant disregard for the effort of our entire community in curating this site. Please respect what we are building here -- we're not just being picky, these are lessons we've learned over years of asking and answering, and making that information as useful as possible for future searchers. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as content goes, I can't fault it.  But as a &quot;welcoming message&quot; then I can.  Quite apart from the site name (I imagine all the ConTeXt users up in arms at this point!), I don't like the &quot;blatant disregard&quot;, nor the &quot;Please respect&quot; phrase (general rule of thumb: any phrase using the word &quot;respect&quot; probably isn't respectful!).  Also, TeX-SX is just a little over a year old and we're a *different* community to the SE/SO one.  We're learning our own lessons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The user went on to post a fresh question and left a new answer at this one saying:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; OK, I have posted another answer. Tx,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since this user didn't have the reputation to comment and is new to the site, that's not actually an unreasonable thing to have done.  It's not the right thing, but they'll learn.  The non-TeX-SX moderator then posted:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Welcome to LaTeX! Please don't add &quot;thanks&quot; as answers. Invest some time in the site and you will gain sufficient privileges to upvote content you like, which is the LaTeX way of saying thank you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now this message looks just a little bit odd.  Why the &quot;Welcome to LaTeX!&quot; again?  Didn't we just have that?  And the second sentence doesn't make any sense at all.  This isn't a &quot;Thanks&quot; message.  Okay, it has &quot;Tx&quot; in it (which I guess expands to &quot;Thanks&quot;).  The last sentence is similarly brusque to the previous message.  So this one has me a little confused.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Until I look at the time stamps on this second exchange.  The user posted their question, and their &quot;Tx&quot; message **before** the non-TeX-SX moderator appeared on the scene.  The &quot;Tx&quot; message was to *Werner*!  So the whole situation was over before the non-TeX-SX moderator appeared, the new user had learnt about posting new questions, okay they needed to know about non-answers (but we have a **polite** stock message for that too).  They had even been given an answer to their question in this time!  So all that was really needed by a moderator was to delete those two non-answers, and even that wasn't urgent as the user had learnt what to do and Werner's comment contained all the necessary information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The more I look at the non-TeX-SX moderator's comments, the more they look like stock comments themselves.  If true, this would be a bit ironic given Jeff Atwood's comment on our stock comments thread:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I'm not a huge fan of any automated &quot;one size fits all&quot; processes like this, but as an experiment to see what happens, it's OK.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now I could try to contact the non-TeX-SX moderator themself.  They have asked a question (one!) here, though I don't really think that they are a member of our community yet.  Indeed, I hope that this moderator joins in this discussion.  But really I want to know what *our* community thinks of this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, I may be just jumping at shadows.  This may be a single event and not a precursor of more intervention from the SE team.  If so, I'll be happy.  If not, I'll be worried.  I **like** our community.  It's not perfect, but it's a lot nicer than any of the other SE sites I've participated in (though photography gets close).  Of course we want to make it better, and would welcome help in doing so, but this doesn't feel helpful to me." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As new user without image posting privileges simply include the image as normal and remove the `!` in front of it to turn it into a link.

I learned a lot from your answers. It's an honour to have a SO fellow user here. Make yourself at home, I really hope you enjoy this community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please, don't take my next lines personal. It's just some humble thoughts about the way I see this specific situation. And I'd like to share them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMHO TeX.sx behaves quite differently from other SO sites. We don't have for example the incoming traffic that StackOverflow has, neither too much offtopic questions. Jeff Attwood once said that no one would come here by accident, since this community is highly specific and technical. Since the traffic is slow, we can better deal with everything, say, a flagged post, a &quot;poor&quot; answer, an offtopic thread, and so on. I think that this community is very friendly, that is, everybody is really eager to help, to make knowledge better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A quick overview to spot the difference: the first `101k` rep user in SO has downvoted 857 posts; our `101k` user has downvoted only 13.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since every site is community-driven, we try to adapt things to our reality and not the other way around. Our methods would probably not work in other sites, say Math.SX or Spanish.SX. Sometimes, when I hear the words &quot;SE policy&quot; said in the wild, the walking hammers from *The Wall* come to my mind. Don't get this wrong, but I feel it sounds like an imposition: *share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.* I prefer to look at the SE policy as an inspiration for communities to work with a predefined set of suggestions and, as time goes by, work on their own methods, adapted to their own reality.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, back to the editing question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMHO your suggestions were valid - even Joseph mentioned he edited some questions in the same line in the past. But, at the risk of sounding unfair, I think the ultimate final decision lies with the author. Even though I think posts should be made clear - a nice formatting or proper spelling - I think we need to respect the author's decision on keeping things as they are.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I see the SE network as an awesome Q&amp;A knowledge base, a new tendency. But I fear that people misunderstand the real concept and see threads as collaborative wiki. If it's a wiki, everything is fine, because you are collaboratively editing stuff. The Q&amp;A model is based on people asking and answering questions. The site footer gives us a hint:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; user contributions licensed under [cc-wiki](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/) with [attribution required](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/06/attribution-required/)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If we take a closer look on these links, we find the following statement:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Attribution - You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we edit things from other users, we are signing a risky contract: we are somehow influencing the author's contribution - for better or for worse. But note that it's up to the author to decide if the modifications to his/her answer should really take place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, one might say that some modifications are towards improving spelling and grammar. Again, I think they are valid, but we can't impose these changes if the user explicitly rejects it. A silly example: we Brazilians are fond of commas - don't quote me on that. Portuguese usually has way longer sentences than their English counterparts, so we use a lot of commas. Sometimes, when I write in English - my poor English - I tend to add commas as my heart desires. Everybody can go and edit my posts - &quot;The number of commas is too damn high!&quot;. Let's say I want to fight for my commas, so I rollback the edits. Am I wrong for rolling back a post to a previous state? I don't think so, even if the reasons for the edit are valid. The rollback feature exists for a reason, and I think the author has the right to take whatever decision on his/her own answers, no matter if there are valid arguments to support the edits.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The same line of thought is for deleted answers. Spoiler alert: 10k+ users can see deleted answers. Let's say I have a very nice answer with 10+ upvotes, and for some reason, I decide to delete it. Someone might say, &quot;the answer is very good, let's undelete it for a greater good&quot;. Even if the reason is noble, I still think it's the author decision. It's a pretty &quot;aggressive&quot; way of trying to make things better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, I believe your edits were very good, but it's up to the author to decide if the changes should take effect. I really enjoy reading Barbara's answers, and I always learn from her TeX expertise, besides of course the proper spelling and grammar. People that already know her style rollback edits just to antecipate the inevitable - she'd rollback the question anyway. `:)` And she has the right to do it, after all, it's her contribution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we edit posts, we make sure to leave a note to the author of what we did - we already have a set of predefined [text building blocks](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/430/text-building-blocks). It's a way to establish a good relationship with our fellow users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Don't take the rejected edits too seriously. Barbara is a great person - I really hope to meet her in person someday in a TUG conference and lure her to sign my TeXbook `:)` - and the lowercases are there for a reason. And I must confess, seeing one of Barbara's answer with the proper capitalization gives me shivers, &quot;Jesus Christ, the AMS has spoken!&quot; `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, I hope you consider rejoining this community in the future. `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I see only one of the following possibilities&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. a user has serially voted for 11 days without the script noticing it;&#xD;&#xA;2. two users have serially voted for 5 days without the script noticing it;&#xD;&#xA;3. more than two users have serially voted in the same time frame.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;None of them seems likely. Are there other possibilities?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note: this hasn't had any impact on my reputation, since the nullified votes have in most cases been replaced by valid votes that hadn't contributed to the reputation because of the cap. The question is general: this possible bug may have heavy impact on other user's reputation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT&#xD;&#xA;--&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd like to add some data. My current number of answers is 1773 in 347 days, which gives an average of 5.1 answers per day. So the suspected serial voter can't vote more than 5 answers a day, which means 87 days. Assuming four serial voters that act every day, this means 22 days.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another hypothesis is that, when a serial vote is detected, *all* votes from that user to the target are nullified. This is absurd.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm pretty sure that many users upvote almost all my answers. Does this qualify as &quot;serial voting&quot;? Is this the case? If it is, the algorithm is flawed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 2&#xD;&#xA;--&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reputation graph is clearly wrong and surely offensive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I *didn't* lose 4015 rep points on March 2 as the graph seems to imply. The new system takes care not to show lost reputation for deleted answers, while, to the contrary, in my case it shows utterly wrong data. On March 2 I indeed got 345 reputation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can understand that StackExchange nullifies some upvotes because of suspect serial voting (which is *not* my case, but it's only my opinion); I can't understand why such a big *non loss* of reputation is gigantically exposed for all to see, when I did *nothing* wrong (I have received *six* downvotes and have 1798 answers)."

Before I do that, though, I'd like to observe that the question has a good number of votes (23 at the time of writing) and so presumably the concern raised is shared by a spectrum of 'active' users. (We know of course that votes on meta are a bit tricky to interpret.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There seem to me to be two parts to the question: one part about closing votes, a second about comments on questions, and both have interesting comments here. I'll therefore try to each both of them and summarise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of voting to close, the general feeling seems to be that there is no need to rush to vote to close questions. Over time, some questions can indeed be closed, for example when clarity is never achieved, the problem clearly resolves to a minor issue (typo, _etc._), or for many other reasons. However, that doesn't mean that they have to be closed quickly. The latter action is something that the review queues do seem to encourage: they tend to pick up questions not long after asking, and it's then rather easy to vote to close without giving things time. In particular, and perhaps one that we might get the dev team to consider, it's notable that the buttons to vote to close questions in the queue come at the top of the page, making it rather easy to vote without reading the question, any comments, and answers. Moving the button might be a good idea!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As with many things on the site, there are badges for reviewing, and there is at least some likelihood that a certain amount of motivation to review quickly comes from this. That's not just been raised as a concern here: it's come up on the main meta site too. At the moment, I can't say I see any change by the Powers being likely, so we have to adopt a sensible approach to reviewing (see below).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the comments front, the main concern is about asking minimal working examples (MWEs). Experience suggests that most of the time a MWE is useful in dealing with a question: they help track down errors, give clear demonstrations of what's happening and so on. At the same time, there are perfectly clear questions that don't require a MWE. Importantly, asking for a MWE is a _request_ to the questioner to help us to help them: it's certainly not a requirement for asking a question. Hopefully the https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/430/text-building-blocks get this about right, but we can always revise them. (Of course, everyone is free to write comments however they like: the pre-written text is just there as a handy reference, really.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On this area, it's perhaps worth noting something that happened when the close reasons got revised to drop the old 'too localized' and bring in 'unclear' plus custom 'off topic' reasons. The mod team can add a small number of custom 'off topic' reasons to the standard list, and as part of the roll-out the developers added some suggestions. One they put was 'off topic as there is no MWE' (or words to that effect), which the mod team didn't adopt. Over all, lacking a MWE is fine if the question can be understood, so the mod team reasoned that questions which need a MWE but never get one are 'unclear' and _not_ 'off-topic'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The overall approach that's been taken to date on the site to trying to improve 'sub-optimal' questions rather than closing them: after all, the idea of reading questions is to try to help the person asking. As such, the approach most users have taken is that voting to close is something to do _after_ you've tried to guide the questioner to make things clear, and only when that seems to have failed. Of course, there are questions which are massively off-topic, where the OP agrees to them being closed and so on, and those can all get dealt with quickly. For a lot of questions, though, what is best is a bit of patience in helping the questioner to help us to help them!&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I might even go there and say that for me, it's almost more important to make questions applicable to a wider audience, i.e. more people with the same or a very similar problem, than helping the user who asked the question. The good thing, however, is that if you help &quot;every&quot; user out there, you'll also help the user who had the problem in the first place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So this is really an essential concept that I try to keep in mind whenever I act on tex.sx, no matter if I ask a question, answer one, or edit posts. This also is the reason why we're on a perpetual hunt for duplicate questions: All the information and help for one problem should be in one place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Coming back to your question about &quot;thanks&quot;: &quot;Personal&quot; bits like that are not really relevant for an abstract problem that aims to be maximally widely applicable.&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Some personal background for the problem, e.g. for identifying [XY-problems][4], can be useful, but it might be a good approach to separate this from the core question, like I attempted to in http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/25701/bibtex-vs-biber-and-biblatex-vs-natbib.

For phrases truly irrelevant for the problem (i.e. &quot;thanks&quot;), however, it's definitely better to leave them out, even though it might feel to you like you're being rude.

This is okay for cylinders and speep truncated cones, but not for flat ones: `\tikz   \tkzTruncatedCone{5}{0}{1};` will look like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll try to math out an automated way (probably **Andrew Stacey** can help :D, I remember a great cylinder answer)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * &lt;STRIKE&gt;also, the lines are inconsistent: the upper circle is gray, the sides black, and the lower circle is half/half.&lt;/STRIKE&gt; This can be solved by first doing all the shadings and fillings, then the drawings.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * &lt;STRIKE&gt;While the lower shading looks good, the upper one looks bad, it makes me think of an open tin can, not really a cylinder. I'll head for the kitchen and look for a can of beans or something to come up with a suggestion.&lt;/STRIKE&gt; Giving the top a lighter shading does the trick, something like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * &lt;STRIKE&gt;I both like and dislike your cuboid approach: While its a nice idea to make certain sets of sides lighter, I dont like it to be left/right.

I learned a lot from your answers. It's an honour to have a SO fellow user here. Make yourself at home, I really hope you enjoy this community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please, don't take my next lines personal. It's just some humble thoughts about the way I see this specific situation. And I'd like to share them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMHO TeX.sx behaves quite differently from other SO sites. We don't have for example the incoming traffic that StackOverflow has, neither too much offtopic questions. Jeff Attwood once said that no one would come here by accident, since this community is highly specific and technical. Since the traffic is slow, we can better deal with everything, say, a flagged post, a &quot;poor&quot; answer, an offtopic thread, and so on. I think that this community is very friendly, that is, everybody is really eager to help, to make knowledge better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A quick overview to spot the difference: the first `101k` rep user in SO has downvoted 857 posts; our `101k` user has downvoted only 13.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since every site is community-driven, we try to adapt things to our reality and not the other way around. Our methods would probably not work in other sites, say Math.SX or Spanish.SX. Sometimes, when I hear the words &quot;SE policy&quot; said in the wild, the walking hammers from *The Wall* come to my mind. Don't get this wrong, but I feel it sounds like an imposition: *share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.* I prefer to look at the SE policy as an inspiration for communities to work with a predefined set of suggestions and, as time goes by, work on their own methods, adapted to their own reality.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, back to the editing question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMHO your suggestions were valid - even Joseph mentioned he edited some questions in the same line in the past. But, at the risk of sounding unfair, I think the ultimate final decision lies with the author. Even though I think posts should be made clear - a nice formatting or proper spelling - I think we need to respect the author's decision on keeping things as they are.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I see the SE network as an awesome Q&amp;A knowledge base, a new tendency. But I fear that people misunderstand the real concept and see threads as collaborative wiki. If it's a wiki, everything is fine, because you are collaboratively editing stuff. The Q&amp;A model is based on people asking and answering questions. The site footer gives us a hint:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; user contributions licensed under [cc-wiki](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/) with [attribution required](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/06/attribution-required/)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If we take a closer look on these links, we find the following statement:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Attribution - You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we edit things from other users, we are signing a risky contract: we are somehow influencing the author's contribution - for better or for worse. But note that it's up to the author to decide if the modifications to his/her answer should really take place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, one might say that some modifications are towards improving spelling and grammar. Again, I think they are valid, but we can't impose these changes if the user explicitly rejects it. A silly example: we Brazilians are fond of commas - don't quote me on that. Portuguese usually has way longer sentences than their English counterparts, so we use a lot of commas. Sometimes, when I write in English - my poor English - I tend to add commas as my heart desires. Everybody can go and edit my posts - &quot;The number of commas is too damn high!&quot;. Let's say I want to fight for my commas, so I rollback the edits. Am I wrong for rolling back a post to a previous state? I don't think so, even if the reasons for the edit are valid. The rollback feature exists for a reason, and I think the author has the right to take whatever decision on his/her own answers, no matter if there are valid arguments to support the edits.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The same line of thought is for deleted answers. Spoiler alert: 10k+ users can see deleted answers. Let's say I have a very nice answer with 10+ upvotes, and for some reason, I decide to delete it. Someone might say, &quot;the answer is very good, let's undelete it for a greater good&quot;. Even if the reason is noble, I still think it's the author decision. It's a pretty &quot;aggressive&quot; way of trying to make things better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, I believe your edits were very good, but it's up to the author to decide if the changes should take effect. I really enjoy reading Barbara's answers, and I always learn from her TeX expertise, besides of course the proper spelling and grammar. People that already know her style rollback edits just to antecipate the inevitable - she'd rollback the question anyway. `:)` And she has the right to do it, after all, it's her contribution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we edit posts, we make sure to leave a note to the author of what we did - we already have a set of predefined [text building blocks](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/430/text-building-blocks). It's a way to establish a good relationship with our fellow users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Don't take the rejected edits too seriously. Barbara is a great person - I really hope to meet her in person someday in a TUG conference and lure her to sign my TeXbook `:)` - and the lowercases are there for a reason. And I must confess, seeing one of Barbara's answer with the proper capitalization gives me shivers, &quot;Jesus Christ, the AMS has spoken!&quot; `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, I hope you consider rejoining this community in the future. `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Again, there will be five days to vote, ending 2100 GMT on 2015-01-17. At that stage, the top eight names will be forwarded to the StackExchange community staff for notification to TUG.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the event of a tie in number of votes, the mod team will decide which of the tied members are put forward to StackExchange. The mod team may also include additional names if at the end of the voting process there are fewer than eight nominees with positive scores.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Everyone is welcome to vote for as many or as few candidates as they wish. Remember that there are a total of eight places available to be selected. New nominations can be added during the voting phase.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the end of the voting period, the tallies were:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [azetina](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/10898/azetina), 29&#xD;&#xA; - [Jubobs](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/21891/jubobs), 29&#xD;&#xA; - [Christian Hupfer](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/31729/christian-hupfer), 28&#xD;&#xA; - [cfr](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/39222/cfr), 28&#xD;&#xA; - [Werner](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/5764/werner), 24&#xD;&#xA; - [Yiannis Lazarides](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/963/yiannis-lazarides), 24&#xD;&#xA; - [yo'](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/11002/yo), 20&#xD;&#xA; - [Sean Allred](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/17423/sean-allred), 19&#xD;&#xA; - [Thomas F.

It's very easy to ask a question (good or bad), but it's not always easy to write a good answer. The SE reputation system subjectively supports this approach by awarding only +5 reputation for an upvote to a question, but +10 for an upvote to an answer. Moreover, question can be downvoted without loss of reputation to the voter. Perhaps the motivation here is that the answer(s) have more value than the question. Of course, this is not a universal acceptance, since we have some good questions on this site, but that should be a consideration.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Good](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask) [questions](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/18584/168244) require a combination of things, including (but not limited to)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. a [good title](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/10647/168244); &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. a show-of-effort that possibly [reproduces the problem](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764); &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. suggested attempts at fixing it (if possible);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. images showing the expected output (if possible); and&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. a consideration for the community and future visitors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are my motivations behind the above:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The title is important, as it draws the first attention from visitors. Don't use something like &quot;ToC problem&quot; or &quot;Help needed please&quot; or anything that doesn't provide a *succinct* description of the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; If you don't have a good title, it might not show up as expected in search, and users might not even click on the post when they see it in search results. It's like having a house without a proper address associated with; you won't get many visitors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. When answering a question I don't want to recreate the wheel from scratch. I don't want to copy a code-snippet and spend even 5 minutes trying to wrap it into something that is compilable. I really don't and it's not necessary. That is something that the OP should do, because for them it is super-easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Similar to walking into a big room full of clutter with a lonely light in the middle. Invariably, while I'm walking towards the light to understand what's going on, I'm *unnecessarily* tripping on other things inside the room. Providing the community with a well-lit room makes the problem so much easier to absorb. Copy-and-paste-and-compile and tadaa. Done. To me that shows that the OP took the time to present the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Surely not everyone enjoys fixing things, and would much rather just scream &quot;Fix it for me.&quot; That's okay and [it can become a nuisance](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/172758/168244) to request this with every post. However, if you show an attempt to fix it, it also highlights what your train-of-thought is, which could benefit from some explanation in an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. An image shows me a 1,000 words without typing it. Even if you create something in MS Word/LibreOffice (because of ease-of-use, say), then it's better than 5 paragraphs of textual positioning and fine-tuning. It makes the consumption of information just so much more fluent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. Even though you may have a problem that needs fixing *right this very minute*, your post forms part of a community of knowledge. So, consider that when you ask a question, and incorporate all of the above suggestions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &lt;sub&gt;Previously questions that were so specific and/or didn't show much community traction in terms of usefulness, may have been  closed as &quot;Too localized&quot;.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Voting is very subjective and should therefore not be considered too personally. As a consequence, people's feeling towards reputation also vary considerably. Some don't care for it, while others obsess over it. For some, it may be&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ...[all] about the points...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;but for others it's not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Voters could be more prone to voting for certain people rather than the type of post. Sometimes you want to vote without reading the post (question or answer), but because of a previous record from that specific user.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I occasionally use a very literal interpretation of the voting buttons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Upvote: This [post] shows research effort; is useful and clear&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Downvote: This [post] does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If any of these motivations are not met adequately, then I might abstain from voting and consider my contribution neutral (even if I answered). Perhaps I don't understand the field being investigated, so it doesn't benefit from either up- or downvoting." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For example, some people like an answer structured in the form:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; *Minimal* explanation...  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; `some code`  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; *Broader* explanation...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;while others tend to enjoy&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; *Broad* explanation...  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; `some code`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The former is intended to suit a broad audience (experienced and inexperienced), since the solution is provided without having to wade through &quot;tedious&quot; explanations and reasoning, while still adding value *post mortem*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think your best bet as a questioner is to post a comment to the answered requesting more information.

I learned a lot from your answers. It's an honour to have a SO fellow user here. Make yourself at home, I really hope you enjoy this community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please, don't take my next lines personal. It's just some humble thoughts about the way I see this specific situation. And I'd like to share them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMHO TeX.sx behaves quite differently from other SO sites. We don't have for example the incoming traffic that StackOverflow has, neither too much offtopic questions. Jeff Attwood once said that no one would come here by accident, since this community is highly specific and technical. Since the traffic is slow, we can better deal with everything, say, a flagged post, a &quot;poor&quot; answer, an offtopic thread, and so on. I think that this community is very friendly, that is, everybody is really eager to help, to make knowledge better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A quick overview to spot the difference: the first `101k` rep user in SO has downvoted 857 posts; our `101k` user has downvoted only 13.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since every site is community-driven, we try to adapt things to our reality and not the other way around. Our methods would probably not work in other sites, say Math.SX or Spanish.SX. Sometimes, when I hear the words &quot;SE policy&quot; said in the wild, the walking hammers from *The Wall* come to my mind. Don't get this wrong, but I feel it sounds like an imposition: *share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.* I prefer to look at the SE policy as an inspiration for communities to work with a predefined set of suggestions and, as time goes by, work on their own methods, adapted to their own reality.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, back to the editing question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMHO your suggestions were valid - even Joseph mentioned he edited some questions in the same line in the past. But, at the risk of sounding unfair, I think the ultimate final decision lies with the author. Even though I think posts should be made clear - a nice formatting or proper spelling - I think we need to respect the author's decision on keeping things as they are.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I see the SE network as an awesome Q&amp;A knowledge base, a new tendency. But I fear that people misunderstand the real concept and see threads as collaborative wiki. If it's a wiki, everything is fine, because you are collaboratively editing stuff. The Q&amp;A model is based on people asking and answering questions. The site footer gives us a hint:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; user contributions licensed under [cc-wiki](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/) with [attribution required](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/06/attribution-required/)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If we take a closer look on these links, we find the following statement:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Attribution - You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we edit things from other users, we are signing a risky contract: we are somehow influencing the author's contribution - for better or for worse. But note that it's up to the author to decide if the modifications to his/her answer should really take place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, one might say that some modifications are towards improving spelling and grammar. Again, I think they are valid, but we can't impose these changes if the user explicitly rejects it. A silly example: we Brazilians are fond of commas - don't quote me on that. Portuguese usually has way longer sentences than their English counterparts, so we use a lot of commas. Sometimes, when I write in English - my poor English - I tend to add commas as my heart desires. Everybody can go and edit my posts - &quot;The number of commas is too damn high!&quot;. Let's say I want to fight for my commas, so I rollback the edits. Am I wrong for rolling back a post to a previous state? I don't think so, even if the reasons for the edit are valid. The rollback feature exists for a reason, and I think the author has the right to take whatever decision on his/her own answers, no matter if there are valid arguments to support the edits.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The same line of thought is for deleted answers. Spoiler alert: 10k+ users can see deleted answers. Let's say I have a very nice answer with 10+ upvotes, and for some reason, I decide to delete it. Someone might say, &quot;the answer is very good, let's undelete it for a greater good&quot;. Even if the reason is noble, I still think it's the author decision. It's a pretty &quot;aggressive&quot; way of trying to make things better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, I believe your edits were very good, but it's up to the author to decide if the changes should take effect. I really enjoy reading Barbara's answers, and I always learn from her TeX expertise, besides of course the proper spelling and grammar. People that already know her style rollback edits just to antecipate the inevitable - she'd rollback the question anyway. `:)` And she has the right to do it, after all, it's her contribution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we edit posts, we make sure to leave a note to the author of what we did - we already have a set of predefined [text building blocks](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/430/text-building-blocks). It's a way to establish a good relationship with our fellow users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Don't take the rejected edits too seriously. Barbara is a great person - I really hope to meet her in person someday in a TUG conference and lure her to sign my TeXbook `:)` - and the lowercases are there for a reason. And I must confess, seeing one of Barbara's answer with the proper capitalization gives me shivers, &quot;Jesus Christ, the AMS has spoken!&quot; `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, I hope you consider rejoining this community in the future. `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Today I got curious and went to other big sites on the network, and this site does feel anomalous: the top users on [Super User](http://superuser.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Server Fault](http://serverfault.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) would make 7th and 13th here, despite both sites being [rather older](http://stackexchange.com/sites) and with a higher turnover in terms of questions per day. On sites with a similar age and questions-per-day turnover as Tex.SE such as [Physics](http://physics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Electrical Engineering](http://electronics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all), the top two rows of users have much less reputation than here. You have to go to [Mathematics](http://math.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) to find something comparable, among sites with a similar age, but they're churning through something like seven times as many questions as here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, it's quite possible that in terms of total amounts of reputation things are a bit more in line, but there I don't quite have the statistics chops to make a meaningful comparison. Either way, TeX.SE must either have (a) much more rep (hence also votes) to go around as other comparable sites, or (b) a much more skewed rep distribution curve. [This query](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/206518/reputation-histogram-log-log-scale#graph) sort of vaguely supports the latter but then again you'd have to be quite careful with your comparisons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now, though, I want to ask this community what you think this says about this site. Does this strike you as a reasonable observation? What would you attribute it to?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's a strong emphasis in the responses on the total number of votes, and I don't think I quite buy it. It is [very easy](http://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/492368/total-upvotes-and-downvotes) to query for the total upvotes and downvotes in a site, and the data isn't at all unambiguous. For the comparisons above, it currently looks like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;            TeX.SE   Super User   Server Fault   Physics        EE    Mathematics&#xD;&#xA;      ↑  1,440,460    1,964,282      1,261,362   575,663   466,268      3,511,289&#xD;&#xA;      ↓     17,360      254,889        168,570    91,254    78,871        380,931&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From this, there's a few points worth emphasizing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Compared to sites equivalent in age and current turnover, Physics and Electrical Engineering, TeX.SE does have way more upvotes around.&#xD;&#xA; - Similarly, the downvote count does seem rather low compared to everyone else.&#xD;&#xA; - However, SuperUser has a lot less rep on the top pages than TeX.SE... but it still has sizably more upvotes in the database.&#xD;&#xA; - The site with a comparable leaderboard, Mathematics, has more than twice the total rep.&#xD;&#xA; - While SU and SF do have more downvotes than TeX.SE, the negative effect of downvotes on rep is 1/5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of an upvote, and the count of (upvotes - 0.2 downvotes) for SU is still higher than the total upvotes of TeX.SE.&#xD;&#xA; - That means that explanations along the lines of &quot;we don't downvote&quot; that don't address that ratio have rather low explanatory power.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For me, that says that there also needs to be more concentration of rep on the top tiers, which ties in with (and provides evidence for) https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1867/should-high-rep-users-hang-back-a-little.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, just to be clear,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Yes, rep is just fake internet points and ultimately doesn't matter. However, metrics like these do carry a nontrivial amount of information about each community and they are a reflection of the informal culture in the group.&#xD;&#xA; - Along similar lines, most of the comments saying 'it doesn't matter' and the like seem to come mostly from people whose experience on the SE network is here or on StackOverflow, and who may not be in a position to see just how crazy-high that rep board looks like. Trust me - it's anomalously high, and very much so. Hence this question. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I have the feeling that the error you reported is happening at the conversion time, `rst -&gt; &lt;format&gt;`, and not the in the `LaTeX -&gt; PDF` generation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The error message clearly points at an error in the `.rst` file:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    System Message: ERROR/3 (&lt;fullpath&gt;/AccrualsImplementor.rst, line 83)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You are right to think that either TeX or MathJaX (which implements a subset of TeX math stuff) will render your `:math:` element later on, but the parsing itself is failing, so it's not TeX fault.

I might even go there and say that for me, it's almost more important to make questions applicable to a wider audience, i.e. more people with the same or a very similar problem, than helping the user who asked the question. The good thing, however, is that if you help &quot;every&quot; user out there, you'll also help the user who had the problem in the first place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So this is really an essential concept that I try to keep in mind whenever I act on tex.sx, no matter if I ask a question, answer one, or edit posts.

But, please, try to search for [lyx] font... you will be surprised.&#xD;&#xA;Just an example, there is in fact a surprising huge number of questions editor oriented and non-LaTeX-specific. Based on them, I considered polite to post mine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The specific case with Emacs is that, while it is so integrated with LaTeX to allow even live preview of LaTeX snippets, it is still a general purpose  editor.&#xD;&#xA;So if you ask how to spell for TexStudio and the likes, you can, but you are not very likely to apply it to plain text files, while in Emacs it is plausible to open non-LaTeX files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fresh considerations inspired by Joseph Wright &#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Just believe me please, I am not trying to claim that I am right somehow, BTW a comment on behalf of Joseph Wright on the question, suggested to me a total rethink. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Joseph kindly addressed me to [bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318040][4]. This post basically _proves_ there is an actual bug (dated since 2005!) in the British dictionary and the discussion there suggests a number of workarounds, Mozilla oriented. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As of now the question can have an interest for quite a wider audience, since OpenOffice dictionaries (perhaps now LibreOffice) are used by so many editors. Besides the “en_GB” files affect more latexers than an American or a Briton might think. At least in Italy (I don’t know in the rest of Europe), British English is the language taught in the high schools (yes, they tell us it is an error to write “center”). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fact is that the workarounds suggested for Mozilla are kind of limited in scope: for example, they can’t suggest a strategy like this `\newcommand{\ie}{i.e.\ }` (well, very trivial, but you are surely thinking of something smarter). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other side, Emacs has a probably stronger control on spelling compared with the others. For example one can use the `OTHERCHARS` argument in the dictionary list to control how words are built, and use a regexp like `['.]`. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These considerations altogether make me think that a joint discussion involving latexers and emacsers is far more efficient than a set of disjoint efforts and, for obvious reasons, this community seems the best place to develop it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/28/latex-editing-discussions-that-are-editor-specific&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/28/latex-editing-discussions-that-are-editor-specific&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/95052/british-latex-files-with-emacs-and-hunspell&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318040" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In this package you find lots of good designing ideas and code for typesetting your book.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, you can use the classic [Tufte-style][3] found in the [classes and styles at the Tufte home page][4].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, both in the [memoir-manual][5] and the [KOMA-script-manual][6] you will find lot of useful tips for your design.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you have decided your layout, then you can ask the forum both how it looks like and coding tips. But remember that taste is personal; what you think is nice, I may find horrible (I support the Bringhurst style).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Tips on how to word your questions, avoiding to have them closed as ‘_to localised_’, you may find in this thread: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2339/is-it-ok-to-ask-for-suggestions-concerning-a-table-layout?rq=1 &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_of_Typographic_Style&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/classicthesis&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://code.google.com/p/tufte-latex/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://code.google.com/p/tufte-latex/downloads/list&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/memoir&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/koma-script" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Producing La/TeX from the command line is theoretically possible, but practically impossible; so speaking of Emacs sounds to me much like speaking of Eclipse on a Java community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[According][1]&#xD;&#xA; to DavidZaslavsky “Editor-specific answers to an editor-independent question [...] are kind of a separate issue, but I'd say they're also okay.&#xD;&#xA;[According][2]&#xD;&#xA;to ShreevatsaR, “An answer about an obscure editor that is useful to fewer people will probably get fewer upvotes, but that's the way the system is intended to work.”&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Considering that Emacs is not an obscure editor and here seems second only to Lyx, I am surprised that a [question][3] I posed, concerned with spell check TeX files in Emacs, was closed as off topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And now I wonder and ask you how legitimate is to speak here about editors used to produce LaTeX documents, instead of pure LaTeX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Comment to diabonas&#xD;&#xA;--------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;diabonas: need editing here, since comments allow only a few lines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as I understand, we can speak about editors, but questions should be LaTeX specific.&#xD;&#xA;So, for example, if a question concerns  how to add a _LaTeX_ table in LyX, it can go;&#xD;&#xA;if the question deals with  changing the LyX fonts, that is  not OK, since it is non-LaTeX-specific as it could apply to a plain text file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this is the policy of the community, of course we have to comply with it. But, please, try to search for [lyx] font... you will be surprised.&#xD;&#xA;Just an example, there is in fact a surprising huge number of questions editor oriented and non-LaTeX-specific. Based on them, I considered polite to post mine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The specific case with Emacs is that, while it is so integrated with LaTeX to allow even live preview of LaTeX snippets, it is still a general purpose  editor.&#xD;&#xA;So if you ask how to spell for TexStudio and the likes, you can, but you are not very likely to apply it to plain text files, while in Emacs it is plausible to open non-LaTeX files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fresh considerations inspired by Joseph Wright &#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Just believe me please, I am not trying to claim that I am right somehow, BTW a comment on behalf of Joseph Wright on the question, suggested to me a total rethink. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Joseph kindly addressed me to [bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318040][4]. This post basically _proves_ there is an actual bug (dated since 2005!) in the British dictionary and the discussion there suggests a number of workarounds, Mozilla oriented. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As of now the question can have an interest for quite a wider audience, since OpenOffice dictionaries (perhaps now LibreOffice) are used by so many editors. Besides the “en_GB” files affect more latexers than an American or a Briton might think. At least in Italy (I don’t know in the rest of Europe), British English is the language taught in the high schools (yes, they tell us it is an error to write “center”). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fact is that the workarounds suggested for Mozilla are kind of limited in scope: for example, they can’t suggest a strategy like this `\newcommand{\ie}{i.e.\ }` (well, very trivial, but you are surely thinking of something smarter). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other side, Emacs has a probably stronger control on spelling compared with the others. For example one can use the `OTHERCHARS` argument in the dictionary list to control how words are built, and use a regexp like `['.]`. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These considerations altogether make me think that a joint discussion involving latexers and emacsers is far more efficient than a set of disjoint efforts and, for obvious reasons, this community seems the best place to develop it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/28/latex-editing-discussions-that-are-editor-specific&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/28/latex-editing-discussions-that-are-editor-specific&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/95052/british-latex-files-with-emacs-and-hunspell&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318040" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The title is &quot;Use a quality glossary and acronym list  *in LyX*&quot;. First the OP refers to Q&amp;A on how to write a glossary and acronym list *in LaTeX*. In the second sentence the OP states the wish to use that glossary and acronym list *in LyX*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason to ask such a question is that in LyX one cannot directly edit the LaTeX code. LyX automatically generates the LaTeX code but this process can be tweaked and it is possible to inject TeX code/ERT.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After showing a picture of the wanted result the OP mentions that the problem might be too big. The OP allows to solve the question in steps and *suggest* an approach (&quot;I have broken [up the question into] a *possible* first step, [...] I am *trying to use* two packages [...]. *My attempt* is shown below&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**The TeX.SX answers**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two answers on this: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Answer A: [one by another member](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/99564)&#xD;&#xA;- Answer B: one by myself. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Previously, I had commented on Answer A stating without details that I think it is &quot;not an answer&quot; and not downvoting. I deleted that. Because of a [recent duplicate](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/101069) I check Answer A again. The recently featured post &quot;https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3321&quot; is mainly about flagging but also states:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If the answer is really wrong, feel free to down-vote it (down to -1) and please add a comment to it if there isn't already a suitable one there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I did that with leaving comments about the two major issues 1 and 2 but the author is objecting to them. (If the issues with Answer A are addressed I will change my mind...) Hence, I want to ask the following questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Compiling the LaTeX MWE of Answer A, I fail to get the glossary and acronym list in my PDF output as shown in Answer A. The author recently states&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; `\makeglossaries` is not needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Does the MWE produce glossary and acronym list in your PDF?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Where in Answer A do I find how to create the necessary auxiliary files .gls, .glg ... manually (even knowing that `makeglossaries` will create them for LaTeX is not enought since LyX does not place auxiliary files into your normal working directory) or how to configure LyX to automate the process?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Has my action been okay?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Furthermore, one could ask whether a simple copy and paste into LyX (where to  copy which part?) will work. The author of Answer A assumes that more or less (&quot;I don't know what this has to do with Lyx, so I ignore that.&quot;) I have also a different understanding of the OP question as I stated above. Is the recent comment on Answer A correct: &quot;The OP asked how to render the glossary and acronym list *with `nomenclature`*.&quot; Did the OP really asked for that?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;BTW, I noticed that my answer got downvoted today without stating any reason! Is there any coincidence?" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Producing La/TeX from the command line is theoretically possible, but practically impossible; so speaking of Emacs sounds to me much like speaking of Eclipse on a Java community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[According][1]&#xD;&#xA; to DavidZaslavsky “Editor-specific answers to an editor-independent question [...] are kind of a separate issue, but I'd say they're also okay.&#xD;&#xA;[According][2]&#xD;&#xA;to ShreevatsaR, “An answer about an obscure editor that is useful to fewer people will probably get fewer upvotes, but that's the way the system is intended to work.”&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Considering that Emacs is not an obscure editor and here seems second only to Lyx, I am surprised that a [question][3] I posed, concerned with spell check TeX files in Emacs, was closed as off topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And now I wonder and ask you how legitimate is to speak here about editors used to produce LaTeX documents, instead of pure LaTeX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Comment to diabonas&#xD;&#xA;--------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;diabonas: need editing here, since comments allow only a few lines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as I understand, we can speak about editors, but questions should be LaTeX specific.&#xD;&#xA;So, for example, if a question concerns  how to add a _LaTeX_ table in LyX, it can go;&#xD;&#xA;if the question deals with  changing the LyX fonts, that is  not OK, since it is non-LaTeX-specific as it could apply to a plain text file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this is the policy of the community, of course we have to comply with it. But, please, try to search for [lyx] font... you will be surprised.&#xD;&#xA;Just an example, there is in fact a surprising huge number of questions editor oriented and non-LaTeX-specific. Based on them, I considered polite to post mine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The specific case with Emacs is that, while it is so integrated with LaTeX to allow even live preview of LaTeX snippets, it is still a general purpose  editor.&#xD;&#xA;So if you ask how to spell for TexStudio and the likes, you can, but you are not very likely to apply it to plain text files, while in Emacs it is plausible to open non-LaTeX files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fresh considerations inspired by Joseph Wright &#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Just believe me please, I am not trying to claim that I am right somehow, BTW a comment on behalf of Joseph Wright on the question, suggested to me a total rethink. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Joseph kindly addressed me to [bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318040][4]. This post basically _proves_ there is an actual bug (dated since 2005!) in the British dictionary and the discussion there suggests a number of workarounds, Mozilla oriented. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As of now the question can have an interest for quite a wider audience, since OpenOffice dictionaries (perhaps now LibreOffice) are used by so many editors. Besides the “en_GB” files affect more latexers than an American or a Briton might think. At least in Italy (I don’t know in the rest of Europe), British English is the language taught in the high schools (yes, they tell us it is an error to write “center”). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fact is that the workarounds suggested for Mozilla are kind of limited in scope: for example, they can’t suggest a strategy like this `\newcommand{\ie}{i.e.\ }` (well, very trivial, but you are surely thinking of something smarter). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other side, Emacs has a probably stronger control on spelling compared with the others. For example one can use the `OTHERCHARS` argument in the dictionary list to control how words are built, and use a regexp like `['.]`. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These considerations altogether make me think that a joint discussion involving latexers and emacsers is far more efficient than a set of disjoint efforts and, for obvious reasons, this community seems the best place to develop it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/28/latex-editing-discussions-that-are-editor-specific&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/28/latex-editing-discussions-that-are-editor-specific&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/95052/british-latex-files-with-emacs-and-hunspell&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318040" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Let me give some background and describe the use-case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As author of pgfplots, I feel honored that this site attracts both power users and beginners, and I feel honored that lots of people appear to find my package useful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am also aware that a lot of questions about pgfplots turn out to be feature requests (compare https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2623/questions-which-are-feature-requests). Some have cool work-arounds by power-users, some provide best-practises - and in most cases, the suggestion &quot;file feature request&quot; appears (with good reason).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since pgfplots is a spare-time project, the priorization of incoming feature requests has three major criteria: (1) the efford to implement it (cheap features are added immediately), (2) the &quot;fun factor&quot; for me as implementor (I like to implement cool features even if they are of limited use) and (3) the &quot;votes&quot; of end-users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can access and control (1) and (2). Concerning (3), I have difficulties to get a suitable overview.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This leads to my question: is it acceptable for a Q&amp;A site like tex.sx to host questions of sorts &quot;Which feature do you miss most in pgfplots?&quot;. The votes on such answers would probably give a relatively good view, and since tex.sx has a high visibility, it would also ensure that it is a representative.

That's nonsense :)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Often someone answers a question and misses a duplicate but then someone else finds it in the database and the question gets closed.

If you don't know what you are looking for it's not that easy to find the duplicates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But it's tough to find a balance because after a while you tend to answer in the comments.

This is clearly a form of bug report and these should be sent to the package author either using the package bug tracker or by email. This is important because the package author might not see the question otherwise, even if (s)he is an user of this site. Also, it's not the task of the TeX.SE community to fix package bugs. Therefore I would close such questions also as &quot;off topic&quot;. Bug reporting and fixing is simply not the topic of this site IMHO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the same question would be simply phrased as &quot;how to I achieve X&quot; and includes a MWE which shows the previous effort and mentions the resulting issue with it (i.e. the bug) then the question is very well answerable, because it allows for alternative solutions and workarounds.

Truly that is not because it is &quot;too localized&quot; but because it is not really a question: &quot;I've found this bug&quot; is a statement, not a question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The question &quot;Why am I seeing this (unexpected) behaviour?&quot; is a real question. The fact that the **answer** is &quot;Because of a bug in foo.sty&quot; doesn't make it any less of a question. Nor is it (as such) &quot;localized&quot;, unless the questioner is doing something peculiar. If it's a real bug, then lots of people may be bitten by it. Moreover:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. There may be a way round it, which will help the questioner and possibly others.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. There may be no way round it, in which case it may be a reason not to use a particular package, or to prefer bar.sty over foo.sty, or something of that sort.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The original &quot;consensus&quot; answer linked above reached essentially that conclusion, with which I agree. &quot;Bug reports&quot; are to be closed because they are not questions. Bug &quot;questions&quot; are questions, and they are not as such too &quot;localized&quot;: a bug is as much part of software's predictable behaviour as anything else, and unless it has already been fixed it cannot be said to &quot;very tiny geographic regions or vanishingly small periods of time&quot;. Some bugs persist for very long periods. We need to be careful not to regard as &quot;too localized&quot; any question which is not of long-term general interest: judged by those standards, remarkably few questions would pass muster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe that it is a &quot;red herring&quot; to point out that in this case the bug was about to be solved. That doesn't make the question localized, so much as the answer. Questions are often solved, sometimes &quot;externally&quot; (e.g. by someone writing a new package, or adding functionality to an existing package). They shouldn't then be closed; the answer should be updated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Experience suggests that many users soldier on for months -- years, even -- with out-of-date packages. In many ways that is a tribute to the stability of LaTeX. But for such users event an answer which says &quot;This behaviour is a bug in version 1 which is fixed in version 2&quot; may be just what they need, perhaps months later: it will tell them that they can solve their problem by updating their package.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Indeed, the only time I would close a bug-question as too **localized** is where the bug has already been fixed and the questioner is only seeing it because of a failure to update. That, it seems to me, really is a case of a question which is of no conceivable general interest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In summary: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. I would close bug **reports** not as &quot;too localized&quot; but because they are not questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. I would not close a question which asks for an explanation of unexpected behaviour, even if that behaviour is the result of a bug, and even if the bug is about to be fixed. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. But I would close as &quot;too localized&quot; a question which is the result of a bug that has been fixed a reasonable time ago, where it is simple &quot;user error&quot; in using an obsolete version of the package.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think those principles actually reflect what seemed to be the consensus last year. Whether they were correctly applied in these particular cases, I don't know. It's inevitable that some questions will be improvidently closed, of course.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2622/questions-which-are-bug-reports" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There may be no way round it, in which case it may be a reason not to use a particular package, or to prefer bar.sty over foo.sty, or something of that sort.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The original &quot;consensus&quot; answer linked above reached essentially that conclusion, with which I agree. &quot;Bug reports&quot; are to be closed because they are not questions. Bug &quot;questions&quot; are questions, and they are not as such too &quot;localized&quot;: a bug is as much part of software's predictable behaviour as anything else, and unless it has already been fixed it cannot be said to &quot;very tiny geographic regions or vanishingly small periods of time&quot;. Some bugs persist for very long periods. We need to be careful not to regard as &quot;too localized&quot; any question which is not of long-term general interest: judged by those standards, remarkably few questions would pass muster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe that it is a &quot;red herring&quot; to point out that in this case the bug was about to be solved. That doesn't make the question localized, so much as the answer. Questions are often solved, sometimes &quot;externally&quot; (e.g. by someone writing a new package, or adding functionality to an existing package). They shouldn't then be closed; the answer should be updated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Experience suggests that many users soldier on for months -- years, even -- with out-of-date packages. In many ways that is a tribute to the stability of LaTeX. But for such users event an answer which says &quot;This behaviour is a bug in version 1 which is fixed in version 2&quot; may be just what they need, perhaps months later: it will tell them that they can solve their problem by updating their package.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Indeed, the only time I would close a bug-question as too **localized** is where the bug has already been fixed and the questioner is only seeing it because of a failure to update. That, it seems to me, really is a case of a question which is of no conceivable general interest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In summary: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. I would close bug **reports** not as &quot;too localized&quot; but because they are not questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. I would not close a question which asks for an explanation of unexpected behaviour, even if that behaviour is the result of a bug, and even if the bug is about to be fixed. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. But I would close as &quot;too localized&quot; a question which is the result of a bug that has been fixed a reasonable time ago, where it is simple &quot;user error&quot; in using an obsolete version of the package.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think those principles actually reflect what seemed to be the consensus last year. Whether they were correctly applied in these particular cases, I don't know. It's inevitable that some questions will be improvidently closed, of course.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2622/questions-which-are-bug-reports" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The title is &quot;Use a quality glossary and acronym list  *in LyX*&quot;. First the OP refers to Q&amp;A on how to write a glossary and acronym list *in LaTeX*. In the second sentence the OP states the wish to use that glossary and acronym list *in LyX*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason to ask such a question is that in LyX one cannot directly edit the LaTeX code. LyX automatically generates the LaTeX code but this process can be tweaked and it is possible to inject TeX code/ERT.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After showing a picture of the wanted result the OP mentions that the problem might be too big. The OP allows to solve the question in steps and *suggest* an approach (&quot;I have broken [up the question into] a *possible* first step, [...] I am *trying to use* two packages [...]. *My attempt* is shown below&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**The TeX.SX answers**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two answers on this: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Answer A: [one by another member](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/99564)&#xD;&#xA;- Answer B: one by myself. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Previously, I had commented on Answer A stating without details that I think it is &quot;not an answer&quot; and not downvoting. I deleted that. Because of a [recent duplicate](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/101069) I check Answer A again. The recently featured post &quot;https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3321&quot; is mainly about flagging but also states:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If the answer is really wrong, feel free to down-vote it (down to -1) and please add a comment to it if there isn't already a suitable one there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I did that with leaving comments about the two major issues 1 and 2 but the author is objecting to them. (If the issues with Answer A are addressed I will change my mind...) Hence, I want to ask the following questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Compiling the LaTeX MWE of Answer A, I fail to get the glossary and acronym list in my PDF output as shown in Answer A. The author recently states&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; `\makeglossaries` is not needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Does the MWE produce glossary and acronym list in your PDF?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Where in Answer A do I find how to create the necessary auxiliary files .gls, .glg ... manually (even knowing that `makeglossaries` will create them for LaTeX is not enought since LyX does not place auxiliary files into your normal working directory) or how to configure LyX to automate the process?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Has my action been okay?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Furthermore, one could ask whether a simple copy and paste into LyX (where to  copy which part?) will work. The author of Answer A assumes that more or less (&quot;I don't know what this has to do with Lyx, so I ignore that.&quot;) I have also a different understanding of the OP question as I stated above. Is the recent comment on Answer A correct: &quot;The OP asked how to render the glossary and acronym list *with `nomenclature`*.&quot; Did the OP really asked for that?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;BTW, I noticed that my answer got downvoted today without stating any reason!

The latter exists (for whatever reason) and could be used as a tag synonym for [meta-tag:tagging] yet it has no questions tagged with it. The criteria for community approval and engagement in this process is also somewhat strict:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Users with more than 2500 reputation and a total answer score of 5 or more on the tag, can **suggest** tag synonyms. Users with a total answer score (total upvotes minus total downvotes) of 5 or more on the tag, can **vote** for tag synonyms.

Our methods would probably not work in other sites, say Math.SX or Spanish.SX. Sometimes, when I hear the words &quot;SE policy&quot; said in the wild, the walking hammers from The Wall come to my mind. Don't get this wrong, but I feel it sounds like an imposition: share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie. I prefer to look at the SE policy as an inspiration for communites to work with a predefined set of suggestions and, as time goes by, work on their own methods, adapted to their own reality.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMHO the key here is to learn how the TeX.sx gears work as a single component. We are known to be a very friendly community, from TeXperts to newbies. Even what happens to be our policy is treated as guidelines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I don't see anything wrong with being nice, polite or grateful to any help received. I love writing something along these lines in my own questions because I really appreciate the time and effort put in each question. And I usually &quot;sign&quot; my answers in this site with &quot;hope it helps! `:)`&quot; or similar simply because I really want the OP to feel welcome, in the sense of &quot;hi, maybe my attempt can help with your question!&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem here, as I see, is that we are dealing with minor edits. I'm not used to play with the review system, but sometimes we see some edits that are considered minor, like some punctuation issues or a &quot;proper capitalization&quot; of a sentence. Edits are surely welcome, but we can't forget that:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. edits usually update the activity of a thread, that is, if you edit a 2-year-old question or answer, it will be featured in the front page and more recent threads (considering creation timestamp) will be placed in a lower rank in the list;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. edits have the &quot;moral duty&quot; of going towards better comprehension of the thread as a whole; and&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. edits cannot drastically change the original text, for better or for worse.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I already removed *thank you*'s in the past, but not as the only reason for an edit. Nowadays, I'm more in the *live and let live*  edit philosophy. Of course, everybody has different opinions about this, but:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- edits that *only* remove *thank you* notes might be considered a minor edit, hence rejected;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- edits that remove *thank you* notes or other minor edits in old threads are strongly discouraged, and will certainly be rejected; and&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- edits that don't improve the text do not add value, hence rejected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, it's imperative to *always* leave a comment on why you edited a question or answer. We have some predefined text building blocks in https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/430 which might help.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd keep *thank you*'s. It doesn't hurt. If it's a major edit (usually code formatting), it's up to every editor to decide if a *thank you* note should be removed, but we cannot be picky on editing a text for the sole purpose of beating the OP with a stick just because of an act of kindness.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Internet is already a hateful place.

The title is &quot;Use a quality glossary and acronym list  *in LyX*&quot;. First the OP refers to Q&amp;A on how to write a glossary and acronym list *in LaTeX*. In the second sentence the OP states the wish to use that glossary and acronym list *in LyX*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason to ask such a question is that in LyX one cannot directly edit the LaTeX code. LyX automatically generates the LaTeX code but this process can be tweaked and it is possible to inject TeX code/ERT.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After showing a picture of the wanted result the OP mentions that the problem might be too big. The OP allows to solve the question in steps and *suggest* an approach (&quot;I have broken [up the question into] a *possible* first step, [...] I am *trying to use* two packages [...]. *My attempt* is shown below&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**The TeX.SX answers**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two answers on this: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Answer A: [one by another member](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/99564)&#xD;&#xA;- Answer B: one by myself. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Previously, I had commented on Answer A stating without details that I think it is &quot;not an answer&quot; and not downvoting. I deleted that. Because of a [recent duplicate](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/101069) I check Answer A again. The recently featured post &quot;https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3321&quot; is mainly about flagging but also states:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If the answer is really wrong, feel free to down-vote it (down to -1) and please add a comment to it if there isn't already a suitable one there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I did that with leaving comments about the two major issues 1 and 2 but the author is objecting to them. (If the issues with Answer A are addressed I will change my mind...) Hence, I want to ask the following questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Compiling the LaTeX MWE of Answer A, I fail to get the glossary and acronym list in my PDF output as shown in Answer A. The author recently states&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; `\makeglossaries` is not needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Does the MWE produce glossary and acronym list in your PDF?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Where in Answer A do I find how to create the necessary auxiliary files .gls, .glg ... manually (even knowing that `makeglossaries` will create them for LaTeX is not enought since LyX does not place auxiliary files into your normal working directory) or how to configure LyX to automate the process?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Has my action been okay?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Furthermore, one could ask whether a simple copy and paste into LyX (where to  copy which part?) will work. The author of Answer A assumes that more or less (&quot;I don't know what this has to do with Lyx, so I ignore that.&quot;) I have also a different understanding of the OP question as I stated above. Is the recent comment on Answer A correct: &quot;The OP asked how to render the glossary and acronym list *with `nomenclature`*.&quot; Did the OP really asked for that?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;BTW, I noticed that my answer got downvoted today without stating any reason!

Look at this stage for basic typos/spelling mistakes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Perfect Tagging**: Tagging relevant tags for Q.

Editing these into the question text makes it easier to grasp what is needed, and helps the process of narrowing down requirements because comments don't have backup/revision control. ***Important Edit Note:** Write down the modifications for eg: &quot;codemarkup+title changed as per OP's comments+MWE/images added from Dropbox link+Spelling/Typo correction&quot;. This edit note sentences help high rep reviewers to accept/reject the suggested edits. **Attention :** Editing Q only when really necessary not editing for sake of editing, and the reason for major editing has to be mentioned to OP through comments/edit notes.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ensuring that these points are followed not only helps that question find answers, it also helps communicate the standards we want the site to follow to new users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### General guidelines&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Be Kind**: Reviewing/editing Q to improve OP's chances of getting a good answer and increase readability for readers and accumulating as good knowledge base and much more..&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Leave Welcome **comments with starter guide, MWE request,** tips to OP to learn code markup and other specific actions based on [Text Building blocks](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/430/15717)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- In case interested leaving duplicates/related questions based on [advanced search at tex.sx](http://tex.stackexchange.com/search?q=#)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Don't forget the Mantra Upvote Q immediately and often, Downvote with comments and Accept answer later (24hrs).**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Related terminology used in tex.sx/meta: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3388/15717 and Finally never despair everyone makes mistakes and remember learning from them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In case I forgot anything please add to this list and any duplicate/related questions in meta are also welcome."

I've already [asked about the generic text](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3632/text-for-off-topic-closure) and for some [predefined off-topic close reasons](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3608/new-close-reasons-selecting-predefined-off-topic-options). However, I think I at least didn't quite see _how_ this was going to work. So I'd like to ask about this again, but with a better understanding of how things are 'supposed' to work and with more background.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Background&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The idea of the new 'off-topic' approach is that the person who asked the question gets 'concrete' feedback on why their particular question was closed. This is made clear in a [meta post giving moderators advice](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/184637/what-do-site-moderators-need-to-do-to-support-the-new-custom-question-close-reas/185097), which says (amongst many things)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;At a bare minimum, **off-topic reasons should identify a _specific_ topic considered inappropriate**. If you're struggling to be specific, find an example of a question that is off-topic and discuss the factors that make it inappropriate for the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see, the 'Powers' are after specifics rather than a more general 'this is one of the things we don't do' answer. (In the mod chat room, it was also suggested that a list of 'please do not ask about ...' in the help would be useful.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Mechanism&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The mechanism which has been set up gives us broadly three possibilities within the 'off-topic' closure reason:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Vote to close for a _specific_ predefined reason&#xD;&#xA; 2. Vote to migrate to another site&#xD;&#xA; 3. Vote to close and give a free-text reason for the vote&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If someone has already used option (3), later voters will see this reason as an option, too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The concept is then that as long as at least two people vote in the same way, a specific reason is given for closure. If all of the votes are different, then the question gets the default text, currently&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This question does not appear to be about TeX, LaTeX or related typesetting systems, within the scope defined in the [help center](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So changing that is actually not so useful: it's only really meant to pop up in a small number of cases where there's no agreement on why something is off-topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##What we need to do&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two things we need to do if this is going to work. Here, I want to focus on one of them: deciding on up to three pre-defined 'off-topic' reasons. We also need to 'fix' migration paths (they've all vanished), but I will address that separately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see in the [guidance for moderators](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/184637/what-do-site-moderators-need-to-do-to-support-the-new-custom-question-close-reas/185097), the suggestion is to come up with a list of common reasons for closure, and create texts for these which include guidance for the questioner. I guess one reason per answer would be best as we can then vote on them. Following the model suggested by the 'Powers', I think some form of link to a meta question or similar, which 'expands' on why a question is off-topic, might be useful within each text.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Notes&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The way the 'Powers' see off-topic, reasons here might cover things we've previously closed in other ways.  At the same time, it may also be the case that there are alternative approaches to different cases. Some examples:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - A [question on meta.SO](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/186366) asked about questions which turn out to be typos in the input. The suggestion there is that such questions should be flagged for deletion, as they are not really useful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Questions which turn out to require a package update could reasonably be answered rather than being closed at all. It's arguable that these may actually be pretty general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Out-and-out bug reports could be added to the help as a 'do not ask about' point, as well as potentially having a custom close reason.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Over time, we can of course alter what reasons we feel are 'most common'. So the list will not be set in stone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The 'custom text' closure reason&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's worth noting that the 'Other (add a comment explaining what is wrong)' sub-choice for off-topic is meant to enable us to give a _specific_ reason for closing a question. For example, rather than just&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &gt; your question is off topic&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;you can imagine saying (for a hypothetical example)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &gt; While _using_ or _understanding_ the Knuth-Plass algorithm in TeX is on-topic, implementing the algorithm in Python (or any other programming language) is not, as it requires general programming expertise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other people can then vote for this specific and (hopefully) useful text."

Hence, the usual software long-term release are not really an issue in the TeX community (of course there are exceptions, and package-authors which have disappeared etc.). Hence the question very quickly will become invalid.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On your question about fonts. I closed it as being a too localized due to it being a font problem (not TeX/LaTeX).

Truly that is not because it is &quot;too localized&quot; but because it is not really a question: &quot;I've found this bug&quot; is a statement, not a question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The question &quot;Why am I seeing this (unexpected) behaviour?&quot; is a real question. The fact that the **answer** is &quot;Because of a bug in foo.sty&quot; doesn't make it any less of a question. Nor is it (as such) &quot;localized&quot;, unless the questioner is doing something peculiar. If it's a real bug, then lots of people may be bitten by it. Moreover:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. There may be a way round it, which will help the questioner and possibly others.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. There may be no way round it, in which case it may be a reason not to use a particular package, or to prefer bar.sty over foo.sty, or something of that sort.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The original &quot;consensus&quot; answer linked above reached essentially that conclusion, with which I agree. &quot;Bug reports&quot; are to be closed because they are not questions. Bug &quot;questions&quot; are questions, and they are not as such too &quot;localized&quot;: a bug is as much part of software's predictable behaviour as anything else, and unless it has already been fixed it cannot be said to &quot;very tiny geographic regions or vanishingly small periods of time&quot;. Some bugs persist for very long periods. We need to be careful not to regard as &quot;too localized&quot; any question which is not of long-term general interest: judged by those standards, remarkably few questions would pass muster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe that it is a &quot;red herring&quot; to point out that in this case the bug was about to be solved. That doesn't make the question localized, so much as the answer. Questions are often solved, sometimes &quot;externally&quot; (e.g. by someone writing a new package, or adding functionality to an existing package). They shouldn't then be closed; the answer should be updated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Experience suggests that many users soldier on for months -- years, even -- with out-of-date packages. In many ways that is a tribute to the stability of LaTeX. But for such users event an answer which says &quot;This behaviour is a bug in version 1 which is fixed in version 2&quot; may be just what they need, perhaps months later: it will tell them that they can solve their problem by updating their package.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Indeed, the only time I would close a bug-question as too **localized** is where the bug has already been fixed and the questioner is only seeing it because of a failure to update. That, it seems to me, really is a case of a question which is of no conceivable general interest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In summary: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. I would close bug **reports** not as &quot;too localized&quot; but because they are not questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. I would not close a question which asks for an explanation of unexpected behaviour, even if that behaviour is the result of a bug, and even if the bug is about to be fixed. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. But I would close as &quot;too localized&quot; a question which is the result of a bug that has been fixed a reasonable time ago, where it is simple &quot;user error&quot; in using an obsolete version of the package.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think those principles actually reflect what seemed to be the consensus last year. Whether they were correctly applied in these particular cases, I don't know. It's inevitable that some questions will be improvidently closed, of course.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2622/questions-which-are-bug-reports" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Some have cool work-arounds by power-users, some provide best-practises - and in most cases, the suggestion &quot;file feature request&quot; appears (with good reason).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since pgfplots is a spare-time project, the priorization of incoming feature requests has three major criteria: (1) the efford to implement it (cheap features are added immediately), (2) the &quot;fun factor&quot; for me as implementor (I like to implement cool features even if they are of limited use) and (3) the &quot;votes&quot; of end-users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can access and control (1) and (2). Concerning (3), I have difficulties to get a suitable overview.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This leads to my question: is it acceptable for a Q&amp;A site like tex.sx to host questions of sorts &quot;Which feature do you miss most in pgfplots?&quot;.

For questions about specific packages, use the appropriate tag, e.g. {tikz-pgf} or {pstricks}. For questions about inclusion of external graphic files, use {graphics} instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This wiki does not specify whether a tag such as [tag:tikz-pgf] should be used *in addition* to the [tag:diagrams] tag, or *instead of* it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Based on the results of [this question][1], the community consensus seems to be that it is often acceptable to post, e.g., a pstricks answer to a tikz question for the benefit of the community, even if such an answer is less useful to the OP. As an extension of this policy, it seems to me that a question that is likely to attract answers using more than one drawing program ought to have the [tag:diagrams] tag added in addition to a more specific tag such as [tag:tikz-pgf].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this tagging policy were followed, it would, potentially, make it slightly easier to search for questions on a specific type of drawing problem (e.g., how to draw nested spheres). However, a much bigger effect is that it would be easier for someone who likes to provide pstricks, MetaPost, or Asymptote answers to (say) tikz questions, since the [tag:diagrams] tag would help to identify the fraction of tikz questions general enough for this to make sense. (Full disclosure: I have been known to provide Asymptote answers to TikZ questions.) Depending on the views of the community, this could be seen as either a positive or a negative thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, the question: **If a question about a drawing package is general enough that an answer using a different drawing package could be beneficial to the community, should that question be given the [tag:diagrams] tag in addition to a package-specific tag?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The ultimate goal of this question is to improve the [tag:diagrams] tag wiki to clarify this issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3452/484" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Editing these into the question text makes it easier to grasp what is needed, and helps the process of narrowing down requirements because comments don't have backup/revision control. ***Important Edit Note:** Write down the modifications for eg: &quot;codemarkup+title changed as per OP's comments+MWE/images added from Dropbox link+Spelling/Typo correction&quot;. This edit note sentences help high rep reviewers to accept/reject the suggested edits. **Attention :** Editing Q only when really necessary not editing for sake of editing, and the reason for major editing has to be mentioned to OP through comments/edit notes.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ensuring that these points are followed not only helps that question find answers, it also helps communicate the standards we want the site to follow to new users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### General guidelines&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Be Kind**: Reviewing/editing Q to improve OP's chances of getting a good answer and increase readability for readers and accumulating as good knowledge base and much more..&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Leave Welcome **comments with starter guide, MWE request,** tips to OP to learn code markup and other specific actions based on [Text Building blocks](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/430/15717)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- In case interested leaving duplicates/related questions based on [advanced search at tex.sx](http://tex.stackexchange.com/search?q=#)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Don't forget the Mantra Upvote Q immediately and often, Downvote with comments and Accept answer later (24hrs).**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Related terminology used in tex.sx/meta: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3388/15717 and Finally never despair everyone makes mistakes and remember learning from them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In case I forgot anything please add to this list and any duplicate/related questions in meta are also welcome."

At all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By default, Wordpress only allows a subset of HTML entities and it has the bad habit of removing some existing ones for the &quot;sake of simplicity&quot; (and it's usually wrong on its assumptions). It's *always* a pain to format the interview with the current scheme. Visual mode sucks, and HTML is not any better (interchange modes and you are in hell).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Markdown support is not good. And sometimes you are forced to use it with HTML (so no advantage of using Markdown at all). And again, things you type are still subjected to the good will of Wordpress.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I actually mean is, as it is, Wordpress does not offers us a good, simple way of typesetting interviews as we would like. There are some hacks and tricks to make them look as our heart desires, but they take a huge amount of time. And it's counter-intuitive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wish the blog infrastructure could be built on top of the SE framework instead of Wordpress. The Markdown support we have here is amazing and, even if we could not fully comply with our dialogue guidelines, it would be easier for everybody to collaboratively work on the text. At least less painful, for sure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not sure if the Powers That Be have any plans to improve the SE blog network. I was thinking if we could provide the interview as a PDF file, and of course, with the source code available. I know that a PDF approach is not ideal, since users might prefer reading the interview online in a browser instead of opening a PDF viewer in order to see what's going on. Sadly, as it is, the interview format is not fluent for us that work in the backstage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If we opt for a PDF format, I'd like to call our TeX experts for us to come up with either a document class or package providing an interview-like format, publicly available (reaching CTAN at some point). Every interview would be typeset with this class/package, and it would be easier for our reviewers to work on the text. Besides, the blog posts would not be complicated to come up, since no heavy format would be required, just a link for the PDF file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We are open to suggestions. `:)` Feel free to add your own views and also some pointers on what you would like to see on TeXtalk. After all, community matters! `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

While the same holds on [Meta.SO](http://meta.stackoverflow.com) - where the separation between main-and-meta is more apparent since each has their own reputation system - a generic network-wide setup is probably why it works this way. Another motivation behind this site-specific tag markdown is that it may be possible (in general) to have duplicate tags across the two components, however unlikely. As an example, consider &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Main: [tag:scope] - referencing &quot;the context within which a variable name or other identifier is valid and can be used, or within which a declaration has effect&quot;; and&#xD;&#xA;- Meta: [meta-tag:scope] - referencing whether questions are on- or off-topic&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;or perhaps&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Main: [tag:mwe] - about the [`mwe` package](http://ctan.org/pkg/mwe), which helps in the creation of Minimal Working Examples; and&#xD;&#xA;- Meta: [meta-tag:mwe] - an abbreviation for Minimal Working Example. This means the reduction of code to the core idea, which is still compilable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The distinction may be more apparent in some cases, but in general the separation is perfectly justifiable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that there is meta- and main-specific markdown for tagging (see https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3521/5764):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Main: `[tag:&lt;tag&gt;]`&#xD;&#xA;- Meta: `[meta-tag:&lt;tag&gt;]`&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

X-Y questions).  So I am happy to contradict comments such as &quot;LaTeX answers only, please!&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That said, be tactful when giving answers that do not obviously count as responses to what is asked for.

All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The question must always be tagged with the magic [meta-tag:community-ads] tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Image requirements&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The image that you create must be **220 x 250 pixels**&#xD;&#xA; - Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)&#xD;&#xA; - Must be GIF or PNG&#xD;&#xA; - No animated GIFs&#xD;&#xA; - Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Score Threshold&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a **minimum score threshold** an answer must meet (currently **6**) before it will be shown on the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats [here][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/ads/display/4009" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is our current workflow for publishing an interview:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. We close the interview, limiting its beginning and end. In this step, I usually create the chatroom bookmark.&#xD;&#xA;2. I get the whole text from the interview and try to organize it by reordering the sentences to make it sound more linear.&#xD;&#xA;3. Once I have a preliminar text, our reviewers work on this draft.&#xD;&#xA;4. The reviewers return the text ready for publishing.&#xD;&#xA;5. We create a new blog post and add the content.&#xD;&#xA;6. I perform some checks on verbatim text, links and references.&#xD;&#xA;7. Once the interview is reviewed, I need to reformat it in order to comply with our dialogue guidelines (cf. https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2399/clearer-formatting-of-dialogue-in-textalk). I have a script that does this for me, so it's a semi-automatic process.&#xD;&#xA;8. The interview is published.&#xD;&#xA;9. I update our meta thread with the blog post and chatroom bookmark (cf. https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2545/textalk-interviews).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our blog runs on top of a Wordpress installation, provided by StackExchange. IMHO, this infrastructure works very well for  the majority of the network sites, but I'm afraid is does not work for us. At all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By default, Wordpress only allows a subset of HTML entities and it has the bad habit of removing some existing ones for the &quot;sake of simplicity&quot; (and it's usually wrong on its assumptions). It's *always* a pain to format the interview with the current scheme. Visual mode sucks, and HTML is not any better (interchange modes and you are in hell).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Markdown support is not good. And sometimes you are forced to use it with HTML (so no advantage of using Markdown at all). And again, things you type are still subjected to the good will of Wordpress.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I actually mean is, as it is, Wordpress does not offers us a good, simple way of typesetting interviews as we would like. There are some hacks and tricks to make them look as our heart desires, but they take a huge amount of time. And it's counter-intuitive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wish the blog infrastructure could be built on top of the SE framework instead of Wordpress. The Markdown support we have here is amazing and, even if we could not fully comply with our dialogue guidelines, it would be easier for everybody to collaboratively work on the text. At least less painful, for sure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not sure if the Powers That Be have any plans to improve the SE blog network. I was thinking if we could provide the interview as a PDF file, and of course, with the source code available. I know that a PDF approach is not ideal, since users might prefer reading the interview online in a browser instead of opening a PDF viewer in order to see what's going on. Sadly, as it is, the interview format is not fluent for us that work in the backstage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If we opt for a PDF format, I'd like to call our TeX experts for us to come up with either a document class or package providing an interview-like format, publicly available (reaching CTAN at some point). Every interview would be typeset with this class/package, and it would be easier for our reviewers to work on the text. Besides, the blog posts would not be complicated to come up, since no heavy format would be required, just a link for the PDF file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We are open to suggestions. `:)` Feel free to add your own views and also some pointers on what you would like to see on TeXtalk. After all, community matters! `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Yes the utopia is that every question becomes a general information source free from specifics, personal or social matters. I think that's a blunder of SO team. That's simply not possible. We can't even find duplicates even when we know there exists one. So are we nice or not? And secretly we are adding a link to our `Welcome`'s indirectly implying that *RTFM you noob!* which is also picked up by a few askers as sampled above. I'm not proposing to stop removing Thanks per se however it is at least awkward practice. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We don't have to be nice if we don't feel like it. Let someone else deal with it.

For questions about specific packages, use the appropriate tag, e.g. {tikz-pgf} or {pstricks}. For questions about inclusion of external graphic files, use {graphics} instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This wiki does not specify whether a tag such as [tag:tikz-pgf] should be used *in addition* to the [tag:diagrams] tag, or *instead of* it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Based on the results of [this question][1], the community consensus seems to be that it is often acceptable to post, e.g., a pstricks answer to a tikz question for the benefit of the community, even if such an answer is less useful to the OP. As an extension of this policy, it seems to me that a question that is likely to attract answers using more than one drawing program ought to have the [tag:diagrams] tag added in addition to a more specific tag such as [tag:tikz-pgf].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this tagging policy were followed, it would, potentially, make it slightly easier to search for questions on a specific type of drawing problem (e.g., how to draw nested spheres). However, a much bigger effect is that it would be easier for someone who likes to provide pstricks, MetaPost, or Asymptote answers to (say) tikz questions, since the [tag:diagrams] tag would help to identify the fraction of tikz questions general enough for this to make sense. (Full disclosure: I have been known to provide Asymptote answers to TikZ questions.) Depending on the views of the community, this could be seen as either a positive or a negative thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, the question: **If a question about a drawing package is general enough that an answer using a different drawing package could be beneficial to the community, should that question be given the [tag:diagrams] tag in addition to a package-specific tag?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The ultimate goal of this question is to improve the [tag:diagrams] tag wiki to clarify this issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3452/484" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'll reflect on a couple from personal experience:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- You're too slow to respond.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; The OP doesn't wait long enough for you to respond and asks a new [follow-up question](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2117/5764) before you can get around smoothing out anything further to help.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- You forget.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; This happens, believe it or not. Some days/weeks are more busy that others and you don't get to visit the site that often. Suddenly a week goes by and what you planned to do in terms of updating a solution has fallen by the wayside.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Perhaps a comment reminder could be issued in such an instance. You could also *delete* your non-response comment and re-issue it (with the appropriate `@&lt;user&gt;` notification, if necessary).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- You read the comment and don't know how to solve the &quot;updated question&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Uggghh. Yes, we're not all part of the [`!!/battle`-clan](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2923/5764) and therefore do not possess infinite guru-like LaTeX-foo...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- You feel that the &quot;updated question&quot; is almost completely irrelevant to the original post, making an updated solution seem out-of-place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; While this might seem bizarre from the OP's perspective. After all, they are the one looking for an answer to *their* problem(s), and may not necessarily care about the longevity of their question nor it's place on the network. However, sometimes a comment-request might require a completely different working around the existing solution. Most notably such comment-questions occur when the OP doesn't include full [MWE](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764)s.

Huh, this is the only site where this opening is similar to last years... fancy that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### What are Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - scripts packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The question must always be tagged with the magic [meta-tag:community-ads] tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Image requirements&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The image that you create must be **220 x 250 pixels**&#xD;&#xA; - Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)&#xD;&#xA; - Must be GIF or PNG&#xD;&#xA; - No animated GIFs&#xD;&#xA; - Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Score Threshold&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a **minimum score threshold** an answer must meet (currently **6**) before it will be shown on the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats [here][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/ads/display/4009" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Our methods would probably not work in other sites, say Math.SX or Spanish.SX. Sometimes, when I hear the words &quot;SE policy&quot; said in the wild, the walking hammers from The Wall come to my mind. Don't get this wrong, but I feel it sounds like an imposition: share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie. I prefer to look at the SE policy as an inspiration for communites to work with a predefined set of suggestions and, as time goes by, work on their own methods, adapted to their own reality.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;IMHO the key here is to learn how the TeX.sx gears work as a single component. We are known to be a very friendly community, from TeXperts to newbies. Even what happens to be our policy is treated as guidelines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I don't see anything wrong with being nice, polite or grateful to any help received. I love writing something along these lines in my own questions because I really appreciate the time and effort put in each question. And I usually &quot;sign&quot; my answers in this site with &quot;hope it helps! `:)`&quot; or similar simply because I really want the OP to feel welcome, in the sense of &quot;hi, maybe my attempt can help with your question!&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem here, as I see, is that we are dealing with minor edits. I'm not used to play with the review system, but sometimes we see some edits that are considered minor, like some punctuation issues or a &quot;proper capitalization&quot; of a sentence. Edits are surely welcome, but we can't forget that:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. edits usually update the activity of a thread, that is, if you edit a 2-year-old question or answer, it will be featured in the front page and more recent threads (considering creation timestamp) will be placed in a lower rank in the list;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. edits have the &quot;moral duty&quot; of going towards better comprehension of the thread as a whole; and&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. edits cannot drastically change the original text, for better or for worse.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I already removed *thank you*'s in the past, but not as the only reason for an edit. Nowadays, I'm more in the *live and let live*  edit philosophy. Of course, everybody has different opinions about this, but:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- edits that *only* remove *thank you* notes might be considered a minor edit, hence rejected;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- edits that remove *thank you* notes or other minor edits in old threads are strongly discouraged, and will certainly be rejected; and&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- edits that don't improve the text do not add value, hence rejected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, it's imperative to *always* leave a comment on why you edited a question or answer. We have some predefined text building blocks in https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/430 which might help.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd keep *thank you*'s. It doesn't hurt. If it's a major edit (usually code formatting), it's up to every editor to decide if a *thank you* note should be removed, but we cannot be picky on editing a text for the sole purpose of beating the OP with a stick just because of an act of kindness.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Internet is already a hateful place.

That tells me that both the StackExchange team and the local 'community' on the site are doing good work. What the TUG membership adds to this is twofold: supporting TeX beyond the site _and_ enhancing the benefits of the site for a group of our members each year.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TUG is the worldwide group for TeX users, organises yearly meetings about TeX and related ideas, supports TeX developments (for example font and LuaTeX coding) and provides a central point for contacts. That needs resources both in terms of people and money: StackExchange's membership of TUG helps directly with the latter, and more broadly being an institutional member shows that TUG membership is an important thing and so helps promotion within the community. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For our 'representatives', the TUG membership offers something tangible out of their work on the site, and hopefully helps them to broaden their TeX knowledge. The journal of TUG, [_TUGBoat_](http://tug.org/tugboat/), is always a good read and offers insight into lots of areas of interest to TeX users. We get to select new representatives each year, assuming the membership continues, so this benefit gets 'spread around' over time: great for newer members.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of how we'll select representatives if the membership continues, the model to date seems to have worked well. The approach I think we'll take is this. I'll open a meta thread asking for self-nominations, where interested members can put their names down. I'll also ask them to delete the answers immediately after posting, and give it a little while (say 5 days) to allow people to put themselves forward. I'll then undelete all of the answers, and give a period for voting (again say 5 days). The moderators will then forward a list of 'reps' to the StackExchange staff based on the voting but with a casting vote in case of a tie and with the right to add additional names in the event that there are not 8 positively-voted nominees."

The site footer gives us a hint:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &gt; user contributions licensed under cc-wiki with attribution required&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If we take a closer look on these links, we find the following statement:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &gt;Attribution - You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; When we edit things from other users, we are signing a risky contract: we are somehow influencing the author's contribution - for better or for worse. But note that it's up to the author to decide if the modifications to his/her answer should really take place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A negative argument based on readability and comprehension&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, Paulo does go on to mention that we should nonetheless keep in mind that edits *improving* spelling and grammar are probably Good Things™.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So we can ask whether editing barbara's answers to fix capitalization would fall into the category of *improving* spelling and grammar. The answer is **no**, at least not if we take *improve* to mean something like 'make more readable, make more comprehensible, etc.'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fact that writing systems are *technological inventions* is an underappreciated fact. They postdate human use of language, and they are, ultimately, nothing more than technological inventions that encode a set of conventions that we use to represent the *language* in our heads.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, certain conventions, such as consistent spelling, are arguably useful. Conventions that demarcate sentence boundaries are also arguably useful. In fact, they reflect prosodic cues that one gets in spoken language.&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The conventions that are used by this particular technological invention for encoding English happen to employ two methods of demarcating sentence boundaries: capitalization and punctuation. So, in a sense, we have some redundancy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are only a few edge cases where the use of these two methods is not redundant. Specifically, in cases where the conventions used for transcribing English employ a period to mark an abbreviation, such as in &quot;et al.&quot; or &quot;etc.&quot; we might see non-redundancy. An example of this might be:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in this case, you don't want to use the commands like `\bf`, `\it`, etc. you should use `\textbf` instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here, it's not immediately clear whether the second sentence is a separate sentence or not, just from inspecting capitalization and punctuation. Nonetheless, we **can still figure out what was said**, and it's pretty easy to determine, based on context, what the sentence boundaries are. One user has [claimed that][2]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Barbara's posts as they currently stand are well-nigh unreadable gibberish.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is **patently false**. Any user that can read and comprehend English can read and comprehend barbara's answers. Though I tried searching the internet for studies on whether there is any **empirical** evidence documenting a decrease in comprehension/readability based on lack of sentence-initial capitalization, I could not find anything.&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; Nonetheless, I have an intuition&amp;#8212;an intuition that I suspect others share, if they are honest with themselves&amp;#8212;that there would be no significant difference in comprehension, should someone actually bother to conduct an empirical study.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, [tohecz worries][3] that this will lead to peOPlE adOPTing TeEN caSINg. First point to note: it is now 2014 (no longer 2012, the time of tohecz's comment), and, as far as I am aware, there has been no instance of this. Second point to note: there is actually an **argument** to be made that fixing someone's post that uses &quot;teen casing&quot; improves readability/comprehension. Again, I haven't found any empirical studies, but I have an intuition&amp;#8212;as well as the phenomenological experience&amp;#8212;that reading &quot;teen casing&quot; is harder and takes longer than reading normal casing. I suspect this would be confirmed with an empirical study, should someone really want to waste their time carrying out such a study.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, this warrants editing the ridiculous behavior of the user who asked https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/consensus-vs-accepted-answers-on-meta because they eventually edited the question to include this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Specifically, editing such a post would **improve the comprehension and readability** of the post for at least two reasons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. the user does not conform to conventional English spelling (which makes it particularly hard for non-native speakers of English to understand); and&#xD;&#xA;2. the use of code/keyboard markup might mislead one into thinking that `STYLEZ`, for example, is a tag or a LaTeX package or something, a hypothesis which is probably easily dismissible, but might nonetheless confuse new users on the site&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, the &quot;consensus&quot;&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; on TeX.SX at the time of writing seems to be to respect **barbara**'s style&amp;#8212;*which is readable and comprehensible*&amp;#8212;not *any* style. That is to say, there is *not* a rational argument in favor of *not* respecting *her particular style*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A positive argument from changing the meaning of an answer&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Nonetheless, if one is able to delude oneself into thinking that lack of sentence-initial capitalization somehow really turns some writing into &quot;well-nigh unreadable gibberish&quot;,&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt; there is a further positive argument for respecting barbara's style, in addition to the one already sketched by Paulo. This one comes from David Carlisle in [a comment][6]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; @DavidMulder You are ignoring the fact that your edit was simply a bad edit, irrespective of any general conventions about fixing grammar. It changes the meaning of the answer (given the statement on the user profile). Perhaps you think that's a bad convention for a user to have but making all following readers believe that a statement is an official policy statement of the American Mathematical Society when it was explicitly marked as not being so in its original form is a bad edit and should be reverted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The moral of the story&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, even if you don't buy the negative argument I've sketched (for whatever reason), we still have at least two positive reasons (actually, more than two, *cf.*, fn. 2) for why we ought to respect barbara's style, which is not to say that we ought to respect *any* style, *if that style really makes a post harder to comprehend or read (especially for non-native speakers of English)*. In such cases as those, editing is then probably the Right Way™ and a Good Thing™.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Indeed, [percusse counts seven such users][7].&#xD;&#xA;2. The three points in this answer are tailored to the particular point under discussion: the poster's style (in particular, barbara's style), so I will not mention any of the points that were already made in https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/340/when-is-and-isnt-it-acceptable-to-edit one of which is a further reason not to edit for spelling/grammar 'errors' because &quot;[e]diting a question/answer for such small issues has the undesired effect of bringing the question back to the homepage, which can become a nuisance for frequent users of the site&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;3. Prosody is just a fancy way of saying &quot;intonation&quot;. Intonation is often used to demarcate sentence boundaries, among other things, in spoken language. The specifics depend on the language.&#xD;&#xA;4. Probably because such a study sounds like a pointless waste of time.&#xD;&#xA;5. I do not like using this word to describe the state of affairs on Stack Exchange. See my answer [here][5].&#xD;&#xA;6. Or, alternatively, if one is so attached to prescriptivist ideals that one needs to change the definition of *improve* to be something like 'conform to redundant conventions' in order to rationalize their vehement defense of editing all of barbara's answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/2614/32888&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2097/respecting-posters-style#comment12077_2607&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2097/respecting-posters-style#comment6432_2097&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZG6kp.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/4518/32888&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/consensus-vs-accepted-answers-on-meta#comment14823_4515&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/4521/32888" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm organizing a lottery. The idea is very similar to https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2982, but both the lottery algorithm and the prize are different.

In particular, the community here have generally felt that for most questions voting below -1 isn't really desirable:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Please don't downvote below a score of -1, even if the question in its current form needs some improvement. A score of -1 is enough to show that the question needs work, anything below that is of no use.

Thus many of the 'regulars' vote down only for very specific circumstances, primarily for spam where it's entirely sensible to vote quickly and remove the content.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you may also pick up from the building blocks page, there's also a feeling that questions shouldn't get closed too quickly: rather than 'close, improve, reopen' there's a preference for 'comment, improve'. That partly reflects the nature of the questions asked here (it's reasonable expect quite a few from new/inexperienced users) and partly the scale of the site (it's quite possible to keep 'on top' of all of the questions).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of moderator response, I think none of us delete many questions.

I've already [asked about the generic text](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3632/text-for-off-topic-closure) and for some [predefined off-topic close reasons](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3608/new-close-reasons-selecting-predefined-off-topic-options). However, I think I at least didn't quite see _how_ this was going to work. So I'd like to ask about this again, but with a better understanding of how things are 'supposed' to work and with more background.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Background&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The idea of the new 'off-topic' approach is that the person who asked the question gets 'concrete' feedback on why their particular question was closed. This is made clear in a [meta post giving moderators advice](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/184637/what-do-site-moderators-need-to-do-to-support-the-new-custom-question-close-reas/185097), which says (amongst many things)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;At a bare minimum, **off-topic reasons should identify a _specific_ topic considered inappropriate**. If you're struggling to be specific, find an example of a question that is off-topic and discuss the factors that make it inappropriate for the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see, the 'Powers' are after specifics rather than a more general 'this is one of the things we don't do' answer. (In the mod chat room, it was also suggested that a list of 'please do not ask about ...' in the help would be useful.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Mechanism&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The mechanism which has been set up gives us broadly three possibilities within the 'off-topic' closure reason:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Vote to close for a _specific_ predefined reason&#xD;&#xA; 2. Vote to migrate to another site&#xD;&#xA; 3. Vote to close and give a free-text reason for the vote&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If someone has already used option (3), later voters will see this reason as an option, too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The concept is then that as long as at least two people vote in the same way, a specific reason is given for closure. If all of the votes are different, then the question gets the default text, currently&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This question does not appear to be about TeX, LaTeX or related typesetting systems, within the scope defined in the [help center](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So changing that is actually not so useful: it's only really meant to pop up in a small number of cases where there's no agreement on why something is off-topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##What we need to do&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two things we need to do if this is going to work. Here, I want to focus on one of them: deciding on up to three pre-defined 'off-topic' reasons. We also need to 'fix' migration paths (they've all vanished), but I will address that separately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see in the [guidance for moderators](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/184637/what-do-site-moderators-need-to-do-to-support-the-new-custom-question-close-reas/185097), the suggestion is to come up with a list of common reasons for closure, and create texts for these which include guidance for the questioner. I guess one reason per answer would be best as we can then vote on them. Following the model suggested by the 'Powers', I think some form of link to a meta question or similar, which 'expands' on why a question is off-topic, might be useful within each text.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Notes&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The way the 'Powers' see off-topic, reasons here might cover things we've previously closed in other ways.  At the same time, it may also be the case that there are alternative approaches to different cases. Some examples:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - A [question on meta.SO](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/186366) asked about questions which turn out to be typos in the input. The suggestion there is that such questions should be flagged for deletion, as they are not really useful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Questions which turn out to require a package update could reasonably be answered rather than being closed at all. It's arguable that these may actually be pretty general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Out-and-out bug reports could be added to the help as a 'do not ask about' point, as well as potentially having a custom close reason.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Over time, we can of course alter what reasons we feel are 'most common'. So the list will not be set in stone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The 'custom text' closure reason&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's worth noting that the 'Other (add a comment explaining what is wrong)' sub-choice for off-topic is meant to enable us to give a _specific_ reason for closing a question. For example, rather than just&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &gt; your question is off topic&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;you can imagine saying (for a hypothetical example)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &gt; While _using_ or _understanding_ the Knuth-Plass algorithm in TeX is on-topic, implementing the algorithm in Python (or any other programming language) is not, as it requires general programming expertise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other people can then vote for this specific and (hopefully) useful text."

I've demarcated these three points with section headings.&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A positive argument based on copyright and attribution&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, I think Paulo Cereda has already made a great case for respecting a poster's style in [his answer][1] to https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2599/why-were-my-edits-rejected given reasons of copyright and attribution:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I see the SE network as an awesome Q&amp;A knowledge base, a new tendency. But I fear that people misunderstand the real concept and see threads as collaborative wiki. If it's a wiki, everything is fine, because you are collaboratively editing stuff. The Q&amp;A model is based on people asking and answering questions. The site footer gives us a hint:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &gt; user contributions licensed under cc-wiki with attribution required&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If we take a closer look on these links, we find the following statement:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &gt;Attribution - You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; When we edit things from other users, we are signing a risky contract: we are somehow influencing the author's contribution - for better or for worse. But note that it's up to the author to decide if the modifications to his/her answer should really take place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A negative argument based on readability and comprehension&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, Paulo does go on to mention that we should nonetheless keep in mind that edits *improving* spelling and grammar are probably Good Things™.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So we can ask whether editing barbara's answers to fix capitalization would fall into the category of *improving* spelling and grammar. The answer is **no**, at least not if we take *improve* to mean something like 'make more readable, make more comprehensible, etc.'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fact that writing systems are *technological inventions* is an underappreciated fact. They postdate human use of language, and they are, ultimately, nothing more than technological inventions that encode a set of conventions that we use to represent the *language* in our heads.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, certain conventions, such as consistent spelling, are arguably useful. Conventions that demarcate sentence boundaries are also arguably useful. In fact, they reflect prosodic cues that one gets in spoken language.&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The conventions that are used by this particular technological invention for encoding English happen to employ two methods of demarcating sentence boundaries: capitalization and punctuation. So, in a sense, we have some redundancy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are only a few edge cases where the use of these two methods is not redundant. Specifically, in cases where the conventions used for transcribing English employ a period to mark an abbreviation, such as in &quot;et al.&quot; or &quot;etc.&quot; we might see non-redundancy. An example of this might be:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in this case, you don't want to use the commands like `\bf`, `\it`, etc. you should use `\textbf` instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here, it's not immediately clear whether the second sentence is a separate sentence or not, just from inspecting capitalization and punctuation. Nonetheless, we **can still figure out what was said**, and it's pretty easy to determine, based on context, what the sentence boundaries are. One user has [claimed that][2]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Barbara's posts as they currently stand are well-nigh unreadable gibberish.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is **patently false**. Any user that can read and comprehend English can read and comprehend barbara's answers. Though I tried searching the internet for studies on whether there is any **empirical** evidence documenting a decrease in comprehension/readability based on lack of sentence-initial capitalization, I could not find anything.&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; Nonetheless, I have an intuition&amp;#8212;an intuition that I suspect others share, if they are honest with themselves&amp;#8212;that there would be no significant difference in comprehension, should someone actually bother to conduct an empirical study.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, [tohecz worries][3] that this will lead to peOPlE adOPTing TeEN caSINg. First point to note: it is now 2014 (no longer 2012, the time of tohecz's comment), and, as far as I am aware, there has been no instance of this. Second point to note: there is actually an **argument** to be made that fixing someone's post that uses &quot;teen casing&quot; improves readability/comprehension. Again, I haven't found any empirical studies, but I have an intuition&amp;#8212;as well as the phenomenological experience&amp;#8212;that reading &quot;teen casing&quot; is harder and takes longer than reading normal casing. I suspect this would be confirmed with an empirical study, should someone really want to waste their time carrying out such a study.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, this warrants editing the ridiculous behavior of the user who asked https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/consensus-vs-accepted-answers-on-meta because they eventually edited the question to include this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Specifically, editing such a post would **improve the comprehension and readability** of the post for at least two reasons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. the user does not conform to conventional English spelling (which makes it particularly hard for non-native speakers of English to understand); and&#xD;&#xA;2. the use of code/keyboard markup might mislead one into thinking that `STYLEZ`, for example, is a tag or a LaTeX package or something, a hypothesis which is probably easily dismissible, but might nonetheless confuse new users on the site&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, the &quot;consensus&quot;&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; on TeX.SX at the time of writing seems to be to respect **barbara**'s style&amp;#8212;*which is readable and comprehensible*&amp;#8212;not *any* style. That is to say, there is *not* a rational argument in favor of *not* respecting *her particular style*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A positive argument from changing the meaning of an answer&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Nonetheless, if one is able to delude oneself into thinking that lack of sentence-initial capitalization somehow really turns some writing into &quot;well-nigh unreadable gibberish&quot;,&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt; there is a further positive argument for respecting barbara's style, in addition to the one already sketched by Paulo. This one comes from David Carlisle in [a comment][6]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; @DavidMulder You are ignoring the fact that your edit was simply a bad edit, irrespective of any general conventions about fixing grammar. It changes the meaning of the answer (given the statement on the user profile). Perhaps you think that's a bad convention for a user to have but making all following readers believe that a statement is an official policy statement of the American Mathematical Society when it was explicitly marked as not being so in its original form is a bad edit and should be reverted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The moral of the story&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, even if you don't buy the negative argument I've sketched (for whatever reason), we still have at least two positive reasons (actually, more than two, *cf.*, fn. 2) for why we ought to respect barbara's style, which is not to say that we ought to respect *any* style, *if that style really makes a post harder to comprehend or read (especially for non-native speakers of English)*. In such cases as those, editing is then probably the Right Way™ and a Good Thing™.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Indeed, [percusse counts seven such users][7].&#xD;&#xA;2. The three points in this answer are tailored to the particular point under discussion: the poster's style (in particular, barbara's style), so I will not mention any of the points that were already made in https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/340/when-is-and-isnt-it-acceptable-to-edit one of which is a further reason not to edit for spelling/grammar 'errors' because &quot;[e]diting a question/answer for such small issues has the undesired effect of bringing the question back to the homepage, which can become a nuisance for frequent users of the site&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;3. Prosody is just a fancy way of saying &quot;intonation&quot;. Intonation is often used to demarcate sentence boundaries, among other things, in spoken language. The specifics depend on the language.&#xD;&#xA;4. Probably because such a study sounds like a pointless waste of time.&#xD;&#xA;5. I do not like using this word to describe the state of affairs on Stack Exchange. See my answer [here][5].&#xD;&#xA;6. Or, alternatively, if one is so attached to prescriptivist ideals that one needs to change the definition of *improve* to be something like 'conform to redundant conventions' in order to rationalize their vehement defense of editing all of barbara's answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/2614/32888&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2097/respecting-posters-style#comment12077_2607&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2097/respecting-posters-style#comment6432_2097&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZG6kp.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/4518/32888&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/consensus-vs-accepted-answers-on-meta#comment14823_4515&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/4521/32888" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Even before that**: The `TeX` teaching infrastructure (teachers who know them/management/webportal) , [course web portals](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/106229/15717) and even the presentation used to teach LaTeX should be in `beamer/powerdot/slides..` not in `.ppt/x` which is sometimes a irony that &quot;TeX is better than Word&quot; delivered in `.doc` and `.ppt`.&#xD;&#xA; and finally the whole lab/college/secretaries/administration going open source which is very much going on in some countries.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**3**. Any competition needs some `skilled people` to gather and share their expertise which can be harnessed during early school days not after [30 yrs avg age](http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2005-2/story-survey/tex_survey_rep.pdf).Hence  mini-competition's should start in schools/colleges before expanding to great heights.In that TeX would spread over [wide professions](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/1626/15717).

I've demarcated these three points with section headings.&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A positive argument based on copyright and attribution&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, I think Paulo Cereda has already made a great case for respecting a poster's style in [his answer][1] to https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2599/why-were-my-edits-rejected given reasons of copyright and attribution:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I see the SE network as an awesome Q&amp;A knowledge base, a new tendency. But I fear that people misunderstand the real concept and see threads as collaborative wiki. If it's a wiki, everything is fine, because you are collaboratively editing stuff. The Q&amp;A model is based on people asking and answering questions. The site footer gives us a hint:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &gt; user contributions licensed under cc-wiki with attribution required&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If we take a closer look on these links, we find the following statement:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &gt;Attribution - You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; When we edit things from other users, we are signing a risky contract: we are somehow influencing the author's contribution - for better or for worse. But note that it's up to the author to decide if the modifications to his/her answer should really take place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A negative argument based on readability and comprehension&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, Paulo does go on to mention that we should nonetheless keep in mind that edits *improving* spelling and grammar are probably Good Things™.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So we can ask whether editing barbara's answers to fix capitalization would fall into the category of *improving* spelling and grammar. The answer is **no**, at least not if we take *improve* to mean something like 'make more readable, make more comprehensible, etc.'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fact that writing systems are *technological inventions* is an underappreciated fact. They postdate human use of language, and they are, ultimately, nothing more than technological inventions that encode a set of conventions that we use to represent the *language* in our heads.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, certain conventions, such as consistent spelling, are arguably useful. Conventions that demarcate sentence boundaries are also arguably useful. In fact, they reflect prosodic cues that one gets in spoken language.&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The conventions that are used by this particular technological invention for encoding English happen to employ two methods of demarcating sentence boundaries: capitalization and punctuation. So, in a sense, we have some redundancy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are only a few edge cases where the use of these two methods is not redundant. Specifically, in cases where the conventions used for transcribing English employ a period to mark an abbreviation, such as in &quot;et al.&quot; or &quot;etc.&quot; we might see non-redundancy. An example of this might be:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in this case, you don't want to use the commands like `\bf`, `\it`, etc. you should use `\textbf` instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here, it's not immediately clear whether the second sentence is a separate sentence or not, just from inspecting capitalization and punctuation. Nonetheless, we **can still figure out what was said**, and it's pretty easy to determine, based on context, what the sentence boundaries are. One user has [claimed that][2]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Barbara's posts as they currently stand are well-nigh unreadable gibberish.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is **patently false**. Any user that can read and comprehend English can read and comprehend barbara's answers. Though I tried searching the internet for studies on whether there is any **empirical** evidence documenting a decrease in comprehension/readability based on lack of sentence-initial capitalization, I could not find anything.&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; Nonetheless, I have an intuition&amp;#8212;an intuition that I suspect others share, if they are honest with themselves&amp;#8212;that there would be no significant difference in comprehension, should someone actually bother to conduct an empirical study.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, [tohecz worries][3] that this will lead to peOPlE adOPTing TeEN caSINg. First point to note: it is now 2014 (no longer 2012, the time of tohecz's comment), and, as far as I am aware, there has been no instance of this. Second point to note: there is actually an **argument** to be made that fixing someone's post that uses &quot;teen casing&quot; improves readability/comprehension. Again, I haven't found any empirical studies, but I have an intuition&amp;#8212;as well as the phenomenological experience&amp;#8212;that reading &quot;teen casing&quot; is harder and takes longer than reading normal casing. I suspect this would be confirmed with an empirical study, should someone really want to waste their time carrying out such a study.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, this warrants editing the ridiculous behavior of the user who asked https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/consensus-vs-accepted-answers-on-meta because they eventually edited the question to include this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Specifically, editing such a post would **improve the comprehension and readability** of the post for at least two reasons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. the user does not conform to conventional English spelling (which makes it particularly hard for non-native speakers of English to understand); and&#xD;&#xA;2. the use of code/keyboard markup might mislead one into thinking that `STYLEZ`, for example, is a tag or a LaTeX package or something, a hypothesis which is probably easily dismissible, but might nonetheless confuse new users on the site&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, the &quot;consensus&quot;&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; on TeX.SX at the time of writing seems to be to respect **barbara**'s style&amp;#8212;*which is readable and comprehensible*&amp;#8212;not *any* style. That is to say, there is *not* a rational argument in favor of *not* respecting *her particular style*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## A positive argument from changing the meaning of an answer&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Nonetheless, if one is able to delude oneself into thinking that lack of sentence-initial capitalization somehow really turns some writing into &quot;well-nigh unreadable gibberish&quot;,&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt; there is a further positive argument for respecting barbara's style, in addition to the one already sketched by Paulo. This one comes from David Carlisle in [a comment][6]:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; @DavidMulder You are ignoring the fact that your edit was simply a bad edit, irrespective of any general conventions about fixing grammar. It changes the meaning of the answer (given the statement on the user profile). Perhaps you think that's a bad convention for a user to have but making all following readers believe that a statement is an official policy statement of the American Mathematical Society when it was explicitly marked as not being so in its original form is a bad edit and should be reverted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The moral of the story&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, even if you don't buy the negative argument I've sketched (for whatever reason), we still have at least two positive reasons (actually, more than two, *cf.*, fn. 2) for why we ought to respect barbara's style, which is not to say that we ought to respect *any* style, *if that style really makes a post harder to comprehend or read (especially for non-native speakers of English)*. In such cases as those, editing is then probably the Right Way™ and a Good Thing™.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Indeed, [percusse counts seven such users][7].&#xD;&#xA;2. The three points in this answer are tailored to the particular point under discussion: the poster's style (in particular, barbara's style), so I will not mention any of the points that were already made in https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/340/when-is-and-isnt-it-acceptable-to-edit one of which is a further reason not to edit for spelling/grammar 'errors' because &quot;[e]diting a question/answer for such small issues has the undesired effect of bringing the question back to the homepage, which can become a nuisance for frequent users of the site&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;3. Prosody is just a fancy way of saying &quot;intonation&quot;. Intonation is often used to demarcate sentence boundaries, among other things, in spoken language. The specifics depend on the language.&#xD;&#xA;4. Probably because such a study sounds like a pointless waste of time.&#xD;&#xA;5. I do not like using this word to describe the state of affairs on Stack Exchange. See my answer [here][5].&#xD;&#xA;6. Or, alternatively, if one is so attached to prescriptivist ideals that one needs to change the definition of *improve* to be something like 'conform to redundant conventions' in order to rationalize their vehement defense of editing all of barbara's answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/2614/32888&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2097/respecting-posters-style#comment12077_2607&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2097/respecting-posters-style#comment6432_2097&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZG6kp.png&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/4518/32888&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/consensus-vs-accepted-answers-on-meta#comment14823_4515&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/4521/32888" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Before I do that, though, I'd like to observe that the question has a good number of votes (23 at the time of writing) and so presumably the concern raised is shared by a spectrum of 'active' users. (We know of course that votes on meta are a bit tricky to interpret.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There seem to me to be two parts to the question: one part about closing votes, a second about comments on questions, and both have interesting comments here. I'll therefore try to each both of them and summarise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of voting to close, the general feeling seems to be that there is no need to rush to vote to close questions. Over time, some questions can indeed be closed, for example when clarity is never achieved, the problem clearly resolves to a minor issue (typo, _etc._), or for many other reasons. However, that doesn't mean that they have to be closed quickly. The latter action is something that the review queues do seem to encourage: they tend to pick up questions not long after asking, and it's then rather easy to vote to close without giving things time. In particular, and perhaps one that we might get the dev team to consider, it's notable that the buttons to vote to close questions in the queue come at the top of the page, making it rather easy to vote without reading the question, any comments, and answers. Moving the button might be a good idea!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As with many things on the site, there are badges for reviewing, and there is at least some likelihood that a certain amount of motivation to review quickly comes from this. That's not just been raised as a concern here: it's come up on the main meta site too. At the moment, I can't say I see any change by the Powers being likely, so we have to adopt a sensible approach to reviewing (see below).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the comments front, the main concern is about asking minimal working examples (MWEs). Experience suggests that most of the time a MWE is useful in dealing with a question: they help track down errors, give clear demonstrations of what's happening and so on. At the same time, there are perfectly clear questions that don't require a MWE. Importantly, asking for a MWE is a _request_ to the questioner to help us to help them: it's certainly not a requirement for asking a question. Hopefully the https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/430/text-building-blocks get this about right, but we can always revise them. (Of course, everyone is free to write comments however they like: the pre-written text is just there as a handy reference, really.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On this area, it's perhaps worth noting something that happened when the close reasons got revised to drop the old 'too localized' and bring in 'unclear' plus custom 'off topic' reasons. The mod team can add a small number of custom 'off topic' reasons to the standard list, and as part of the roll-out the developers added some suggestions. One they put was 'off topic as there is no MWE' (or words to that effect), which the mod team didn't adopt. Over all, lacking a MWE is fine if the question can be understood, so the mod team reasoned that questions which need a MWE but never get one are 'unclear' and _not_ 'off-topic'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The overall approach that's been taken to date on the site to trying to improve 'sub-optimal' questions rather than closing them: after all, the idea of reading questions is to try to help the person asking. As such, the approach most users have taken is that voting to close is something to do _after_ you've tried to guide the questioner to make things clear, and only when that seems to have failed. Of course, there are questions which are massively off-topic, where the OP agrees to them being closed and so on, and those can all get dealt with quickly.

There should be a space for asking good basic questions, certainly when they are phrased such that the question is clear, self-contained and likely to help future user. More problematic are basic questions where that's not the case: the one raised here certainly isn't a great question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As we know, 'off topic' is one of the reasons the 'Powers' give us to close questions and is intended not only to cover out-and-out off-topic posts but also stuff not answered 'by convention'. In some areas, such as typos and bug reports, we have had the discussion and reached a consensus that at present 'off topic' is the most appropriate way to handle them. However, that I know of we've not had a general discussion about 'basic' questions and how to deal with them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Closing questions isn't necessarily a negative thing: the idea for example of marking duplicates is to avoid repeated effort in answering questions (likely over time to lead to poorer answers) while pointing the questioner to useful resources and hopefully aiding anyone searching in the future. Similarly, closing as 'off topic' or 'too broad' doesn't mean that there is not a valid discussion to be had about something: it means that the format here isn't suited to such a discussion. Thus the issue is at least in part is what reason(s) are appropriate for closing (some)  general questions and how should this be phrased/commented to make the action helpful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One issue here is that not all 'general' questions are the same. Some as I say I think are very solid useful posts which deserve good upvotes and good answers. On the other hand, some questions we see are poorly formulated and difficult to assign to one specific issue. Those might be too broad or might be off topic. On the other hand, questions which we do have clear answers for (hopefully attached to clear questions) should be marked as duplicates: that applies generally. I suspect as such there is an element of 'use your judgement' here. I think what is important is that any closing has appropriate comments, that you are clear that any dupe does really answer the question, and that the questioner is given time to address comments before a closure happens.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing to bear in mind is that having answers doesn't mean a question should not be closed. In [his answer](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/5678/) Percusse suggests that as the 'lead' question here has been answered that closing is not required. While there is some truth in the idea that closing is about site stats, it's also meant to be as I say not a universally negative step. It's quite possible for example for a dupe to be spotted after an answer is given: the question can still be a duplicate in those circumstances.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bottom line: I'd probably have gone for 'duplicate' here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One issue here that has been mentioned is that when there are a mix of close votes for different reason the system only marks with one reason. That's not something we can control locally, but is I always think rather odd. Perhaps one to raise on the main meta site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Nominees should not feel the need to represent TeX-sx other than being members of the site and therefore interested in TeX in some way!]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The model for selection of representatives is as follows. We will have a two stage process, first 'nomination' then 'election'. The first phase runs for five days, until 2100 GMT on 2015-01-12. Each person who wishes to be considered should post an answer, where they can (if they wish) say what makes them a good choice. They should then immediately delete their answer.

At that stage, the top eight names will be forwarded to the StackExchange community staff for notification to TUG.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the event of a tie in number of votes, the mod team will decide which of the tied members are put forward to StackExchange. The mod team may also include additional names if at the end of the voting process there are fewer than eight nominees with positive scores.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Everyone is welcome to vote for as many or as few candidates as they wish. Remember that there are a total of eight places available to be selected.

This is our current workflow for publishing an interview:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. We close the interview, limiting its beginning and end. In this step, I usually create the chatroom bookmark.&#xD;&#xA;2. I get the whole text from the interview and try to organize it by reordering the sentences to make it sound more linear.&#xD;&#xA;3. Once I have a preliminar text, our reviewers work on this draft.&#xD;&#xA;4. The reviewers return the text ready for publishing.&#xD;&#xA;5. We create a new blog post and add the content.&#xD;&#xA;6.

Once the interview is reviewed, I need to reformat it in order to comply with our dialogue guidelines (cf. https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2399/clearer-formatting-of-dialogue-in-textalk). I have a script that does this for me, so it's a semi-automatic process.&#xD;&#xA;8. The interview is published.&#xD;&#xA;9. I update our meta thread with the blog post and chatroom bookmark (cf. https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2545/textalk-interviews).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our blog runs on top of a Wordpress installation, provided by StackExchange. IMHO, this infrastructure works very well for  the majority of the network sites, but I'm afraid is does not work for us. At all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By default, Wordpress only allows a subset of HTML entities and it has the bad habit of removing some existing ones for the &quot;sake of simplicity&quot; (and it's usually wrong on its assumptions). It's *always* a pain to format the interview with the current scheme. Visual mode sucks, and HTML is not any better (interchange modes and you are in hell).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Markdown support is not good. And sometimes you are forced to use it with HTML (so no advantage of using Markdown at all). And again, things you type are still subjected to the good will of Wordpress.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I actually mean is, as it is, Wordpress does not offers us a good, simple way of typesetting interviews as we would like. There are some hacks and tricks to make them look as our heart desires, but they take a huge amount of time. And it's counter-intuitive.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I wish the blog infrastructure could be built on top of the SE framework instead of Wordpress. The Markdown support we have here is amazing and, even if we could not fully comply with our dialogue guidelines, it would be easier for everybody to collaboratively work on the text. At least less painful, for sure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not sure if the Powers That Be have any plans to improve the SE blog network. I was thinking if we could provide the interview as a PDF file, and of course, with the source code available. I know that a PDF approach is not ideal, since users might prefer reading the interview online in a browser instead of opening a PDF viewer in order to see what's going on. Sadly, as it is, the interview format is not fluent for us that work in the backstage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If we opt for a PDF format, I'd like to call our TeX experts for us to come up with either a document class or package providing an interview-like format, publicly available (reaching CTAN at some point). Every interview would be typeset with this class/package, and it would be easier for our reviewers to work on the text. Besides, the blog posts would not be complicated to come up, since no heavy format would be required, just a link for the PDF file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We are open to suggestions. `:)` Feel free to add your own views and also some pointers on what you would like to see on TeXtalk.

It's very easy to ask a question (good or bad), but it's not always easy to write a good answer. The SE reputation system subjectively supports this approach by awarding only +5 reputation for an upvote to a question, but +10 for an upvote to an answer. Moreover, question can be downvoted without loss of reputation to the voter. Perhaps the motivation here is that the answer(s) have more value than the question. Of course, this is not a universal acceptance, since we have some good questions on this site, but that should be a consideration.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Good](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask) [questions](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/18584/168244) require a combination of things, including (but not limited to)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. a [good title](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/10647/168244); &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. a show-of-effort that possibly [reproduces the problem](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764); &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. suggested attempts at fixing it (if possible);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. images showing the expected output (if possible); and&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. a consideration for the community and future visitors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are my motivations behind the above:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The title is important, as it draws the first attention from visitors. Don't use something like &quot;ToC problem&quot; or &quot;Help needed please&quot; or anything that doesn't provide a *succinct* description of the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; If you don't have a good title, it might not show up as expected in search, and users might not even click on the post when they see it in search results. It's like having a house without a proper address associated with; you won't get many visitors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. When answering a question I don't want to recreate the wheel from scratch. I don't want to copy a code-snippet and spend even 5 minutes trying to wrap it into something that is compilable. I really don't and it's not necessary. That is something that the OP should do, because for them it is super-easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Similar to walking into a big room full of clutter with a lonely light in the middle. Invariably, while I'm walking towards the light to understand what's going on, I'm *unnecessarily* tripping on other things inside the room. Providing the community with a well-lit room makes the problem so much easier to absorb. Copy-and-paste-and-compile and tadaa. Done. To me that shows that the OP took the time to present the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Surely not everyone enjoys fixing things, and would much rather just scream &quot;Fix it for me.&quot; That's okay and [it can become a nuisance](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/172758/168244) to request this with every post. However, if you show an attempt to fix it, it also highlights what your train-of-thought is, which could benefit from some explanation in an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. An image shows me a 1,000 words without typing it. Even if you create something in MS Word/LibreOffice (because of ease-of-use, say), then it's better than 5 paragraphs of textual positioning and fine-tuning. It makes the consumption of information just so much more fluent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. Even though you may have a problem that needs fixing *right this very minute*, your post forms part of a community of knowledge. So, consider that when you ask a question, and incorporate all of the above suggestions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &lt;sub&gt;Previously questions that were so specific and/or didn't show much community traction in terms of usefulness, may have been  closed as &quot;Too localized&quot;.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Voting is very subjective and should therefore not be considered too personally. As a consequence, people's feeling towards reputation also vary considerably. Some don't care for it, while others obsess over it. For some, it may be&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ...[all] about the points...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;but for others it's not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Voters could be more prone to voting for certain people rather than the type of post. Sometimes you want to vote without reading the post (question or answer), but because of a previous record from that specific user.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I occasionally use a very literal interpretation of the voting buttons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Upvote: This [post] shows research effort; is useful and clear&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Downvote: This [post] does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If any of these motivations are not met adequately, then I might abstain from voting and consider my contribution neutral (even if I answered). Perhaps I don't understand the field being investigated, so it doesn't benefit from either up- or downvoting." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As many online services prove, it is very easy to get TeX running on a server. **So why do we not have a compilation engine built into this site, that you can use to compile your document and save a screenshot to be used in the question?** (*note: only if you explicitly ask it to, see the edit below*). Obviously, there are concerns, like which part of the document should be on the screenshot, but that is a matter of letting the author specify this. Also, there are questions and answers that will not be compatible with such a feature, and will still require manual compilation and screen-capture; but those are, IMO, a minority.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: How could it concretely work:** There are several formats (plain, LaTeX, ConTeXt), several engines (pdfTeX, LuaTeX, XeTeX). We just need to support those; then it is up to the user to specify how they want their document to be compiled. A greater concern is that TeX changes, the packages get updated, and some of the old code on the site might not compile anymore. Well, this is obviously only an issue if we would like to ensure that people can recompile old code if they would like to update an old question. If we *do* want to ensure backwards compatiblity, then we might use TeX Live, and include the version from each year. Then the user could specify that they would like to use, say, the 2014 version. This will not work for *all* questions (like questions about extremely new versions of packages not yet included in the newest TeX Live version), but *many* of them. So in the majority of cases, I am confident the system would work; and for those that do not work, people can always stick to the good old manual solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT:** This question is *not* a duplicate of [Automatic rendering of code provided in questions/answers?][1]; that question (at least in its original statement) asks for a MathJax-like solution like the one found on Math.SE and Phys.SE. That was *not* what I referred to; rather, I want an engine to automatically compile MWEs using standard TeX engines. That being said, the question was modified to sound more like the present one. However, nobody answered the question in that form. In other words, that question did *not* &quot;solve my problem&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT:** People appear to have gotten the wrong impression that the feature would be forced upon you, that it would compile your code even if you didn't want it to. This is **not** what I meant; it should only compile your code if you explicitly ask it to. That's what buttons are meant for.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1613/automatic-rendering-of-code-provided-in-questions-answers" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As many online services prove, it is very easy to get TeX running on a server. **So why do we not have a compilation engine built into this site, that you can use to compile your document and save a screenshot to be used in the question?** (*note: only if you explicitly ask it to, see the edit below*). Obviously, there are concerns, like which part of the document should be on the screenshot, but that is a matter of letting the author specify this. Also, there are questions and answers that will not be compatible with such a feature, and will still require manual compilation and screen-capture; but those are, IMO, a minority.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: How could it concretely work:** There are several formats (plain, LaTeX, ConTeXt), several engines (pdfTeX, LuaTeX, XeTeX). We just need to support those; then it is up to the user to specify how they want their document to be compiled. A greater concern is that TeX changes, the packages get updated, and some of the old code on the site might not compile anymore. Well, this is obviously only an issue if we would like to ensure that people can recompile old code if they would like to update an old question. If we *do* want to ensure backwards compatiblity, then we might use TeX Live, and include the version from each year. Then the user could specify that they would like to use, say, the 2014 version. This will not work for *all* questions (like questions about extremely new versions of packages not yet included in the newest TeX Live version), but *many* of them. So in the majority of cases, I am confident the system would work; and for those that do not work, people can always stick to the good old manual solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT:** This question is *not* a duplicate of [Automatic rendering of code provided in questions/answers?][1]; that question (at least in its original statement) asks for a MathJax-like solution like the one found on Math.SE and Phys.SE. That was *not* what I referred to; rather, I want an engine to automatically compile MWEs using standard TeX engines. That being said, the question was modified to sound more like the present one. However, nobody answered the question in that form. In other words, that question did *not* &quot;solve my problem&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT:** People appear to have gotten the wrong impression that the feature would be forced upon you, that it would compile your code even if you didn't want it to. This is **not** what I meant; it should only compile your code if you explicitly ask it to. That's what buttons are meant for.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1613/automatic-rendering-of-code-provided-in-questions-answers" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Or, I at least reviewed it in the close queue after Yihui's answer was accepted; maybe the close vote was cast before that.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, if we had such a close reason, I think it would only encourage people to cast close votes like this that aren't really justified and/or come way too quickly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/252210/what-does-this-error-message-suggest might not be the greatest question on the site, but it's certainly a reasonable question and there's no reason to close it.

Of course, one could reword your suggested close reason, but even with a more nuanced explanation for the close reason, I think it would most likely just invite people to abuse it, and then we would end up with a lot of questions being closed that shouldn't be closed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think [percusee's comment][1] is right that each situation is different, and so, in my opinion, it would be better to keep the current generic close reasons, which, at least in principle, would force people to think a little bit about why they're casting a close vote and if it is indeed justified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6229/do-we-need-a-new-closing-reason-for-do-it-for-me-questions#comment17956_6229" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For most of the 'regulars', simply not voting at all is a good indication of an issue with a question: most good questions should have significantly positive scores. Now, if a few people do decide to upvote weaker questions, that can lead to a net positive score as here. However, that shouldn't be a big issue: most of the really useful questions end up with much bigger values.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of answering, this process is independent of the question in a sense. Using the 'crystal ball' approach is pretty common for answering TeX issues, so many of us are adept at it. Particularly for graphics questions there is a long-standing question/issue/tension about whether to answer 'draw it for me' questions (see for example https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4267/our-do-it-for-me-and-draw-it-for-me-comments-dont-reflect-our-hypocrisy-can-th).  For me, whilst I don't answer these in general I do see why people do: the OP needs help, setting up drawings from code is hard and they may really not know what to do. Certainly many of the answers to these questions show off some powerful techniques, so I have no problem uvoting such answers." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Typically a &quot;discussion&quot; ensues within comments to the *answer*. This brings attention to the answerer to possibly update it to suit the new requirements. On the other hand. If the question is solved in this way, some users tend to leave their original question as-is. Others tend to feel that a modified question more adequately reflects their (original) intent, and therefore do exactly that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; I always think that it's best to leave the post in a very general format, as it serves a purpose on its own. Explicitly stating &quot;Edit 1&quot; or &quot;Edit 2&quot;, or mentioning that &quot;some new request is as a result of some comment&quot; makes people have to find and read the related comments to fully understand what went on. And that isn't always necessary in my opinion. You can identify post edits by looking at the revision history, and comments vary in their usefulness and shouldn't always be referred to as being part of a question/answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; What is important though is [asking a good question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask) to start with. Yes, this is not always easy. Do your research before &quot;throwing in the towel&quot;... One thing that has shown to help time-and-time again is the construction of a [*minimal* (working) example](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764) (or MWE). Very often, when breaking down a problem into its minimal components, it reveals clues as to what the solution might hold. Moreover, it shows that you care and would serve the community a problem on a silver platter... rather than just dumping your question using a fix-this-for-me approach. *Never under-estimate the power of a minimal (working) example.*" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I will delete both after promotion end.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you consider it as undesirable promotion, independent if it's supporting publishing LaTeX books, you may downvote of course.

As many online services prove, it is very easy to get TeX running on a server. **So why do we not have a compilation engine built into this site, that you can use to compile your document and save a screenshot to be used in the question?** (*note: only if you explicitly ask it to, see the edit below*). Obviously, there are concerns, like which part of the document should be on the screenshot, but that is a matter of letting the author specify this. Also, there are questions and answers that will not be compatible with such a feature, and will still require manual compilation and screen-capture; but those are, IMO, a minority.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT: How could it concretely work:** There are several formats (plain, LaTeX, ConTeXt), several engines (pdfTeX, LuaTeX, XeTeX). We just need to support those; then it is up to the user to specify how they want their document to be compiled. A greater concern is that TeX changes, the packages get updated, and some of the old code on the site might not compile anymore. Well, this is obviously only an issue if we would like to ensure that people can recompile old code if they would like to update an old question. If we *do* want to ensure backwards compatiblity, then we might use TeX Live, and include the version from each year. Then the user could specify that they would like to use, say, the 2014 version. This will not work for *all* questions (like questions about extremely new versions of packages not yet included in the newest TeX Live version), but *many* of them. So in the majority of cases, I am confident the system would work; and for those that do not work, people can always stick to the good old manual solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT:** This question is *not* a duplicate of [Automatic rendering of code provided in questions/answers?][1]; that question (at least in its original statement) asks for a MathJax-like solution like the one found on Math.SE and Phys.SE. That was *not* what I referred to; rather, I want an engine to automatically compile MWEs using standard TeX engines. That being said, the question was modified to sound more like the present one. However, nobody answered the question in that form.

Of course, one could reword your suggested close reason, but even with a more nuanced explanation for the close reason, I think it would most likely just invite people to abuse it, and then we would end up with a lot of questions being closed that shouldn't be closed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think [percusee's comment][1] is right that each situation is different, and so, in my opinion, it would be better to keep the current generic close reasons, which, at least in principle, would force people to think a little bit about why they're casting a close vote and if it is indeed justified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6229/do-we-need-a-new-closing-reason-for-do-it-for-me-questions#comment17956_6229" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For most of the 'regulars', simply not voting at all is a good indication of an issue with a question: most good questions should have significantly positive scores. Now, if a few people do decide to upvote weaker questions, that can lead to a net positive score as here. However, that shouldn't be a big issue: most of the really useful questions end up with much bigger values.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of answering, this process is independent of the question in a sense. Using the 'crystal ball' approach is pretty common for answering TeX issues, so many of us are adept at it. Particularly for graphics questions there is a long-standing question/issue/tension about whether to answer 'draw it for me' questions (see for example https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4267/our-do-it-for-me-and-draw-it-for-me-comments-dont-reflect-our-hypocrisy-can-th).  For me, whilst I don't answer these in general I do see why people do: the OP needs help, setting up drawings from code is hard and they may really not know what to do.

Explicitly stating &quot;Edit 1&quot; or &quot;Edit 2&quot;, or mentioning that &quot;some new request is as a result of some comment&quot; makes people have to find and read the related comments to fully understand what went on.

That tells me that both the StackExchange team and the local 'community' on the site are doing good work. What the TUG membership adds to this is twofold: supporting TeX beyond the site _and_ enhancing the benefits of the site for a group of our members each year.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TUG is the worldwide group for TeX users, organises yearly meetings about TeX and related ideas, supports TeX developments (for example font and LuaTeX coding) and provides a central point for contacts. That needs resources both in terms of people and money: StackExchange's membership of TUG helps directly with the latter, and more broadly being an institutional member shows that TUG membership is an important thing and so helps promotion within the community. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For our 'representatives', the TUG membership offers something tangible out of their work on the site, and hopefully helps them to broaden their TeX knowledge. The journal of TUG, [_TUGBoat_](http://tug.org/tugboat/), is always a good read and offers insight into lots of areas of interest to TeX users. We get to select new representatives each year, assuming the membership continues, so this benefit gets 'spread around' over time: great for newer members.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of how we'll select representatives if the membership continues, the model to date seems to have worked well. The approach I think we'll take is this. I'll open a meta thread asking for self-nominations, where interested members can put their names down. I'll also ask them to delete the answers immediately after posting, and give it a little while (say 5 days) to allow people to put themselves forward. I'll then undelete all of the answers, and give a period for voting (again say 5 days). The moderators will then forward a list of 'reps' to the StackExchange staff based on the voting but with a casting vote in case of a tie and with the right to add additional names in the event that there are not 8 positively-voted nominees."

(It received the close vote after Yihui answered and after the OP accepted that answer, too, if I recall correctly. Or, I at least reviewed it in the close queue after Yihui's answer was accepted; maybe the close vote was cast before that.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, if we had such a close reason, I think it would only encourage people to cast close votes like this that aren't really justified and/or come way too quickly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/252210/what-does-this-error-message-suggest might not be the greatest question on the site, but it's certainly a reasonable question and there's no reason to close it.

Today I got curious and went to other big sites on the network, and this site does feel anomalous: the top users on [Super User](http://superuser.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Server Fault](http://serverfault.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) would make 7th and 13th here, despite both sites being [rather older](http://stackexchange.com/sites) and with a higher turnover in terms of questions per day. On sites with a similar age and questions-per-day turnover as Tex.SE such as [Physics](http://physics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Electrical Engineering](http://electronics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all), the top two rows of users have much less reputation than here. You have to go to [Mathematics](http://math.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) to find something comparable, among sites with a similar age, but they're churning through something like seven times as many questions as here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, it's quite possible that in terms of total amounts of reputation things are a bit more in line, but there I don't quite have the statistics chops to make a meaningful comparison. Either way, TeX.SE must either have (a) much more rep (hence also votes) to go around as other comparable sites, or (b) a much more skewed rep distribution curve. [This query](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/206518/reputation-histogram-log-log-scale#graph) sort of vaguely supports the latter but then again you'd have to be quite careful with your comparisons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now, though, I want to ask this community what you think this says about this site. Does this strike you as a reasonable observation? What would you attribute it to?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's a strong emphasis in the responses on the total number of votes, and I don't think I quite buy it. It is [very easy](http://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/492368/total-upvotes-and-downvotes) to query for the total upvotes and downvotes in a site, and the data isn't at all unambiguous. For the comparisons above, it currently looks like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;            TeX.SE   Super User   Server Fault   Physics        EE    Mathematics&#xD;&#xA;      ↑  1,440,460    1,964,282      1,261,362   575,663   466,268      3,511,289&#xD;&#xA;      ↓     17,360      254,889        168,570    91,254    78,871        380,931&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From this, there's a few points worth emphasizing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Compared to sites equivalent in age and current turnover, Physics and Electrical Engineering, TeX.SE does have way more upvotes around.&#xD;&#xA; - Similarly, the downvote count does seem rather low compared to everyone else.&#xD;&#xA; - However, SuperUser has a lot less rep on the top pages than TeX.SE... but it still has sizably more upvotes in the database.&#xD;&#xA; - The site with a comparable leaderboard, Mathematics, has more than twice the total rep.&#xD;&#xA; - While SU and SF do have more downvotes than TeX.SE, the negative effect of downvotes on rep is 1/5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of an upvote, and the count of (upvotes - 0.2 downvotes) for SU is still higher than the total upvotes of TeX.SE.&#xD;&#xA; - That means that explanations along the lines of &quot;we don't downvote&quot; that don't address that ratio have rather low explanatory power.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For me, that says that there also needs to be more concentration of rep on the top tiers, which ties in with (and provides evidence for) https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1867/should-high-rep-users-hang-back-a-little.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, just to be clear,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Yes, rep is just fake internet points and ultimately doesn't matter. However, metrics like these do carry a nontrivial amount of information about each community and they are a reflection of the informal culture in the group.&#xD;&#xA; - Along similar lines, most of the comments saying 'it doesn't matter' and the like seem to come mostly from people whose experience on the SE network is here or on StackOverflow, and who may not be in a position to see just how crazy-high that rep board looks like. Trust me - it's anomalously high, and very much so. Hence this question. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For most of the 'regulars', simply not voting at all is a good indication of an issue with a question: most good questions should have significantly positive scores. Now, if a few people do decide to upvote weaker questions, that can lead to a net positive score as here. However, that shouldn't be a big issue: most of the really useful questions end up with much bigger values.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of answering, this process is independent of the question in a sense. Using the 'crystal ball' approach is pretty common for answering TeX issues, so many of us are adept at it. Particularly for graphics questions there is a long-standing question/issue/tension about whether to answer 'draw it for me' questions (see for example https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4267/our-do-it-for-me-and-draw-it-for-me-comments-dont-reflect-our-hypocrisy-can-th).  For me, whilst I don't answer these in general I do see why people do: the OP needs help, setting up drawings from code is hard and they may really not know what to do. Certainly many of the answers to these questions show off some powerful techniques, so I have no problem uvoting such answers." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

On the 'main site' (StackOverflow), the community feeling is very much to avoid list-type questions. A classic example of one we have and I think most people on TeX-sx feel is useful is http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/339/latex-editors-ides. I guess you have to remember that the 'StackExchange rules' are more guidelines, and can't be equally appropriate to all of the network. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the question you've pointed to, like [tohecz](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/4257) I'm not that keen on it but I'm also not seeing it as an issue. So for me this comes down to 'community': I note that lots of people do like it (lots of upvotes), while there is not a strong negative feeling (no close votes, no flags)."

It's likely that each person has their favorites. Wouldn't it be nice for this site, and others among other (not all) SE to have somewhat of **a crash course** for beginners and intermediates indicating a series of posts? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some recommendations point out to read some excellent books, such as [Knuth's](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/53/what-is-the-best-way-to-learn-tex?lq=1)&#xD;&#xA;or [The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX2](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/11/what-are-good-learning-resources-for-a-latex-beginner). But what can one read directly from the site in a pragmatic one by one case? I think that focusing on online resources, and on building a positive possible path is unique in what I'm asking. My question is similar to [another similar one that got a negative response](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6239/is-there-any-organised-way-by-which-new-latex-learners-can-benefit-from-previous). The problem with that, in my opinion, is that it remains as if one said to all new-comers:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;_&amp;mdash;no, the maze has no map or compass of any kind._&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;_...just go one step at a time kiddo, then all will come together_&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe that this may be true. However, it remains dark and frightening for those who see an exagerated steep way ahead. There shouldn't be a necessary and mysterious moment of glory that comes like magic whenever it wants to pop up. Learning comes by steps but you should be able to follow paths, even when every choice to where, when and how much to advance is a personal one.

In most cases, the content of this bibliography file is pasted inside a separated code block (when the .bib is not forgotten...). This (bad) practice creates a loss of time. Indeed, the reader have to copy and create two different files to test the code. The [filecontents](filecontents) package fixes this issue.

The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access).

The winning number was **3**, picked by **R. Schumacher**. Thanks everybody for joining the contest!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;'ello, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, ducks and mallards, children of all ages! It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016**! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our second lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 March, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;

Someone in a similar boat may just wait that little bit longer and not experience the &quot;problem&quot; at all. Reasons for undeleting a post should include a consideration for whether the post (question and answer) would be useful for a broader audience. In my opinion, this is not really the case."

Before I do that, though, I'd like to observe that the question has a good number of votes (23 at the time of writing) and so presumably the concern raised is shared by a spectrum of 'active' users. (We know of course that votes on meta are a bit tricky to interpret.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There seem to me to be two parts to the question: one part about closing votes, a second about comments on questions, and both have interesting comments here. I'll therefore try to each both of them and summarise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of voting to close, the general feeling seems to be that there is no need to rush to vote to close questions. Over time, some questions can indeed be closed, for example when clarity is never achieved, the problem clearly resolves to a minor issue (typo, _etc._), or for many other reasons. However, that doesn't mean that they have to be closed quickly. The latter action is something that the review queues do seem to encourage: they tend to pick up questions not long after asking, and it's then rather easy to vote to close without giving things time. In particular, and perhaps one that we might get the dev team to consider, it's notable that the buttons to vote to close questions in the queue come at the top of the page, making it rather easy to vote without reading the question, any comments, and answers. Moving the button might be a good idea!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As with many things on the site, there are badges for reviewing, and there is at least some likelihood that a certain amount of motivation to review quickly comes from this. That's not just been raised as a concern here: it's come up on the main meta site too. At the moment, I can't say I see any change by the Powers being likely, so we have to adopt a sensible approach to reviewing (see below).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the comments front, the main concern is about asking minimal working examples (MWEs). Experience suggests that most of the time a MWE is useful in dealing with a question: they help track down errors, give clear demonstrations of what's happening and so on. At the same time, there are perfectly clear questions that don't require a MWE. Importantly, asking for a MWE is a _request_ to the questioner to help us to help them: it's certainly not a requirement for asking a question. Hopefully the https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/430/text-building-blocks get this about right, but we can always revise them. (Of course, everyone is free to write comments however they like: the pre-written text is just there as a handy reference, really.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On this area, it's perhaps worth noting something that happened when the close reasons got revised to drop the old 'too localized' and bring in 'unclear' plus custom 'off topic' reasons. The mod team can add a small number of custom 'off topic' reasons to the standard list, and as part of the roll-out the developers added some suggestions. One they put was 'off topic as there is no MWE' (or words to that effect), which the mod team didn't adopt. Over all, lacking a MWE is fine if the question can be understood, so the mod team reasoned that questions which need a MWE but never get one are 'unclear' and _not_ 'off-topic'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The overall approach that's been taken to date on the site to trying to improve 'sub-optimal' questions rather than closing them: after all, the idea of reading questions is to try to help the person asking. As such, the approach most users have taken is that voting to close is something to do _after_ you've tried to guide the questioner to make things clear, and only when that seems to have failed. Of course, there are questions which are massively off-topic, where the OP agrees to them being closed and so on, and those can all get dealt with quickly. For a lot of questions, though, what is best is a bit of patience in helping the questioner to help us to help them!&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our second lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 March, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;

Stack Exchange has always explicitly encouraged users to answer their own questions. If you have a question that you already know the answer to, and you would like to document that knowledge in public so that others (including yourself) can find it later, it's perfectly okay to ask and answer your own question on a Stack Exchange site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;it seems to be community consensus here that [this is perfectly acceptable](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/3569/48314), and I agree completely with the conclusion:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ... if someone with the same problem visits the question before it gets another answer, I think he will be glad to find an imperfect solution, instead of no solution at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am therefore puzzled as to why not one but two high-rep users thought that my answer to my own question about [Cyrillic on Ubuntu Precise](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/205273/48314) should be moved to be part of the question.

A thread by someone with the same problem and no answer](http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/wisdom_of_the_ancients.png)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Someone who finds the page by a Google search will see &quot;0 answers&quot; and isn't likely to read a long question to see whether it has any clues. I posted the self-answered question after spending 8 hours to get my document to compile in the hope that it would save someone else 7 of those hours, but moving the answer to the question seems to frustrate that hope.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why should the answer not stand as an answer, at least until someone has a better one?"

Here's an example of what some hats looked like last year, taken from [the network leaderboard](http://stackpromos.com/promos/16/winter-bash-2015):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, SE is rolling out an all-new assortment of hats for this year's event, as they have in the past.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##The Details&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This year's event will [start December 19th, 2016 and run through January 8th, 2017](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/287412/168244). Users will be able to see all the hats they've earned on http://winterbash2016.stackexchange.com. That site will also have an FAQ to explain how things work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Individual users who don’t want to participate, don’t want to see hats, and/or are generally anti-hat will have an “I hate hats” option available. And just like last time, at the end of the event, all hats will go back into storage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only visual change to the Stack Exchange sites themselves will be the presence of the hats and the “I hate hats” button in the footer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/nx0i9.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There should be a space for asking good basic questions, certainly when they are phrased such that the question is clear, self-contained and likely to help future user. More problematic are basic questions where that's not the case: the one raised here certainly isn't a great question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As we know, 'off topic' is one of the reasons the 'Powers' give us to close questions and is intended not only to cover out-and-out off-topic posts but also stuff not answered 'by convention'. In some areas, such as typos and bug reports, we have had the discussion and reached a consensus that at present 'off topic' is the most appropriate way to handle them. However, that I know of we've not had a general discussion about 'basic' questions and how to deal with them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Closing questions isn't necessarily a negative thing: the idea for example of marking duplicates is to avoid repeated effort in answering questions (likely over time to lead to poorer answers) while pointing the questioner to useful resources and hopefully aiding anyone searching in the future. Similarly, closing as 'off topic' or 'too broad' doesn't mean that there is not a valid discussion to be had about something: it means that the format here isn't suited to such a discussion. Thus the issue is at least in part is what reason(s) are appropriate for closing (some)  general questions and how should this be phrased/commented to make the action helpful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One issue here is that not all 'general' questions are the same. Some as I say I think are very solid useful posts which deserve good upvotes and good answers. On the other hand, some questions we see are poorly formulated and difficult to assign to one specific issue. Those might be too broad or might be off topic. On the other hand, questions which we do have clear answers for (hopefully attached to clear questions) should be marked as duplicates: that applies generally. I suspect as such there is an element of 'use your judgement' here. I think what is important is that any closing has appropriate comments, that you are clear that any dupe does really answer the question, and that the questioner is given time to address comments before a closure happens.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing to bear in mind is that having answers doesn't mean a question should not be closed. In [his answer](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/5678/) Percusse suggests that as the 'lead' question here has been answered that closing is not required. While there is some truth in the idea that closing is about site stats, it's also meant to be as I say not a universally negative step. It's quite possible for example for a dupe to be spotted after an answer is given: the question can still be a duplicate in those circumstances.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Bottom line: I'd probably have gone for 'duplicate' here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One issue here that has been mentioned is that when there are a mix of close votes for different reason the system only marks with one reason. That's not something we can control locally, but is I always think rather odd. Perhaps one to raise on the main meta site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I can't even count the number of times this has proved helpful to me in improving my understanding of how a specific package or TeX in general works.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course every rule has an exception and occasionally I would love to be able to prompt the community to answer the question that was asked (even if it already solved the original posters question (who also may no longer be active on the site)) so that I don't have to create a duplicate question that is tap dancing around the wording to create a new distinct question. How should I go about doing this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Here are some of the thoughts I have had:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I don't think that leaving a comment to the authors of the answer are&#xD;&#xA;&gt; necessarily going to be productive because:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The expertise behind the answer may not have lent itself to answer the broader question, hence the version that was provided.&#xD;&#xA;- The author may no longer be active&#xD;&#xA;- Comments don't re-add old questions to the to the front page to receive some attention from contributors.&#xD;&#xA;- Far (less likely (particularly on this branch of stack overflow) and I don't want to offend anyone) but some folks are reputation oriented and if they can't get an accepted answer are less likely to add their own spin on a question with an accepted answer and an OP who has left the site and can't change their mind about the best answer that has been provided.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I would leave a bounty with a comment on the original question, but&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- The lead time and upvotes that the accepted solution may already have may discourage anyone who is motivated by the bounty&#xD;&#xA;- I am currently trying to build my rep because I want to be able to contribute to the moderation of this site&#xD;&#xA;- For the same reason I want to help moderate the site (and may be evident with some of my other meta questions) I may be a little compulsive about organization and closing duplicates, or porting between sites so that they are organized in the right place for users to be able to find and make use of them...   So I am pretty strongly opposed to knowingly creating a duplicate even for my own benefit because that doesn't help keep the site usable (long term).  It's getting hard enough to find answers from google because of all these duplicates with only subtle difference in the wordings.  And I wish I could be part of a moderation effort to help alleviate this problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Edits could be made to the question to reflect the answer that was&#xD;&#xA;&gt; accepted, allowing for the creation for a duplicate of the &quot;original&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; but current version of that question&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- This just strikes me as inappropriate, Just because it worked, doesn't mean the OP doesn't deserve the credit for trying to answer a broad question.&#xD;&#xA;- It will cost an obsessive compulsive like myself extra time&#xD;&#xA;- the real solution is seems to be the need of a way to reopen a question to &quot;The question as is wasn't answered, and still has interest even if it's not the OP's interest&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I hope the above is sufficiently detailed to be clear and not a duplicate of either (the answers I didn't find entirely useful to each of these questions is in my lists above):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3780/how-to-go-about-resurrecting-an-old-question-that-already-has-an-accepted-answer &#xD;&#xA;- https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3692/resurrecting-old-questions-without-being-flagged-as-duplicate&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And I apologize for the obvious inconsistency here in asking this question which is clearly not a new issue!"

Especially having used [MathJaX][1] which is implemented on other S.E. sites like Mathematica Stack Exchange in conjunction with TeX source code (as Mathematica has a `TeXForm` function and its behavior may wish to be modified) without issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#Solutions?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I would like to propose the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* As it would make sense -- in *some* cases -- to be able to render some things in TeX when asking questions can we not have MathJaX on the site, with a reminder when asking new questions (or under the How To Format box on the right) to make sure source code is not rendered `\(...\)`?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Alternatively, could TeX Stack Exchange get an account with an online TeX editor like [ShareLaTeX][2] thereby allowing us to upload our M.W.E.s for others to see and comment solutions / problems? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions on StackOverflow with tags like javascript or html tend to have links to online editors such as JS.Fiddle, which is useful for showing how to get around a specific bug. While there is no official standard on S.O. for how to answer javascript questions, one would be hard pressed to find questions lacking a link to such a site. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I proposed [ShareLaTeX][2] as it:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* has access to all the ctan packages without having to download them which some users may have to do if they wish to answer the question. &#xD;&#xA;* has various compilers like LuaLaTeX, XeLaTeX, etc&#xD;&#xA;* allows for collaborators (users answering the question) and chat (thereby clearing up chatty comments)&#xD;&#xA;* serve as a reference point to find code that answers new questions&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]:https://www.mathjax.org&#xD;&#xA;[2]:https://www.sharelatex.com&#xD;&#xA;[3]:https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/699/why-does-tex-not-show-up-in-my-question-at-least-in-the-preview?rq=1&#xD;&#xA;[4]:https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/181/can-we-turn-off-math-tex-please&#xD;&#xA;[5]:https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1272/why-doesnt-maths-render-as-maths" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

That is mostly fine as many are &quot;Thank you&quot; or &quot;Having another question&quot; answers. But from time to time there are answers with useful and eligible content which we categorize as &quot;better suited as a comment&quot;. However the ever-present problem: the new users cannot comment. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Imagine being young again with no reputation: This must be quite frustrating. Getting the feedback that something is better suited as a comment but at the same time no being able to comment. I guess for important cases one could bring it to the attention of your moderators, they can convert things to comments, see related question https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5661/recommending-deletion [However this system might need improvement, as I feel that only very few deleted answers are flagged for moderator attention].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But what is about the &quot;small&quot; cases. One example (not the best, but they are hard to find) http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/325303/36296. A new user, apparently willing to help, wants to ask for clarification. I would not want to trouble moderators with that, as other users asked for the same information shortly after. But wouldn't it be helpful if the deleting review would include a field &quot;recommend conversion to comment&quot; and with sufficient votes from experienced users, such cases could either be automatically converted or grant the new user the privilege to comment on this specific question?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The example above was from the &quot;low quality review&quot;. Available options in this queue are&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- No comment needed&#xD;&#xA;- This is commentary on another post, not an answer&#xD;&#xA;- This is a “thank you” comment&#xD;&#xA;- This is an “I’m having this problem, too” comment&#xD;&#xA;- This is a different question posted as an answer&#xD;&#xA;- This is a link-only answer (and not spam)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;so no direct opportunity to flag for moderator attention. However when the answer opens one can click on the &quot;flag&quot; link below the question. But this is not very intuitive, because as soon as the window with the deletion options is open, it is hidden behind it and once having clicked for deletion the queue automatically jumps to the next answer and (at least before gaining the ability to see the history) it is very hard to find an answer again. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And I admit, I also voted to recommend deletion, because it *is* better suited as a comment.

Especially having used [MathJaX][1] which is implemented on other S.E. sites like Mathematica Stack Exchange in conjunction with TeX source code (as Mathematica has a `TeXForm` function and its behavior may wish to be modified) without issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;#Solutions?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I would like to propose the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* As it would make sense -- in *some* cases -- to be able to render some things in TeX when asking questions can we not have MathJaX on the site, with a reminder when asking new questions (or under the How To Format box on the right) to make sure source code is not rendered `\(...\)`?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Alternatively, could TeX Stack Exchange get an account with an online TeX editor like [ShareLaTeX][2] thereby allowing us to upload our M.W.E.s for others to see and comment solutions / problems? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions on StackOverflow with tags like javascript or html tend to have links to online editors such as JS.Fiddle, which is useful for showing how to get around a specific bug. While there is no official standard on S.O. for how to answer javascript questions, one would be hard pressed to find questions lacking a link to such a site. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I proposed [ShareLaTeX][2] as it:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* has access to all the ctan packages without having to download them which some users may have to do if they wish to answer the question. &#xD;&#xA;* has various compilers like LuaLaTeX, XeLaTeX, etc&#xD;&#xA;* allows for collaborators (users answering the question) and chat (thereby clearing up chatty comments)&#xD;&#xA;* serve as a reference point to find code that answers new questions&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]:https://www.mathjax.org&#xD;&#xA;[2]:https://www.sharelatex.com&#xD;&#xA;[3]:https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/699/why-does-tex-not-show-up-in-my-question-at-least-in-the-preview?rq=1&#xD;&#xA;[4]:https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/181/can-we-turn-off-math-tex-please&#xD;&#xA;[5]:https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1272/why-doesnt-maths-render-as-maths" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's very easy to ask a question (good or bad), but it's not always easy to write a good answer. The SE reputation system subjectively supports this approach by awarding only +5 reputation for an upvote to a question, but +10 for an upvote to an answer. Moreover, question can be downvoted without loss of reputation to the voter. Perhaps the motivation here is that the answer(s) have more value than the question. Of course, this is not a universal acceptance, since we have some good questions on this site, but that should be a consideration.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Good](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask) [questions](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/18584/168244) require a combination of things, including (but not limited to)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. a [good title](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/10647/168244); &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. a show-of-effort that possibly [reproduces the problem](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764); &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. suggested attempts at fixing it (if possible);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. images showing the expected output (if possible); and&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. a consideration for the community and future visitors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are my motivations behind the above:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The title is important, as it draws the first attention from visitors. Don't use something like &quot;ToC problem&quot; or &quot;Help needed please&quot; or anything that doesn't provide a *succinct* description of the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; If you don't have a good title, it might not show up as expected in search, and users might not even click on the post when they see it in search results. It's like having a house without a proper address associated with; you won't get many visitors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. When answering a question I don't want to recreate the wheel from scratch. I don't want to copy a code-snippet and spend even 5 minutes trying to wrap it into something that is compilable. I really don't and it's not necessary. That is something that the OP should do, because for them it is super-easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Similar to walking into a big room full of clutter with a lonely light in the middle. Invariably, while I'm walking towards the light to understand what's going on, I'm *unnecessarily* tripping on other things inside the room. Providing the community with a well-lit room makes the problem so much easier to absorb. Copy-and-paste-and-compile and tadaa. Done. To me that shows that the OP took the time to present the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Surely not everyone enjoys fixing things, and would much rather just scream &quot;Fix it for me.&quot; That's okay and [it can become a nuisance](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/172758/168244) to request this with every post. However, if you show an attempt to fix it, it also highlights what your train-of-thought is, which could benefit from some explanation in an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. An image shows me a 1,000 words without typing it. Even if you create something in MS Word/LibreOffice (because of ease-of-use, say), then it's better than 5 paragraphs of textual positioning and fine-tuning. It makes the consumption of information just so much more fluent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. Even though you may have a problem that needs fixing *right this very minute*, your post forms part of a community of knowledge. So, consider that when you ask a question, and incorporate all of the above suggestions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &lt;sub&gt;Previously questions that were so specific and/or didn't show much community traction in terms of usefulness, may have been  closed as &quot;Too localized&quot;.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Voting is very subjective and should therefore not be considered too personally. As a consequence, people's feeling towards reputation also vary considerably. Some don't care for it, while others obsess over it. For some, it may be&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ...[all] about the points...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;but for others it's not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Voters could be more prone to voting for certain people rather than the type of post. Sometimes you want to vote without reading the post (question or answer), but because of a previous record from that specific user.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I occasionally use a very literal interpretation of the voting buttons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Upvote: This [post] shows research effort; is useful and clear&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Downvote: This [post] does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If any of these motivations are not met adequately, then I might abstain from voting and consider my contribution neutral (even if I answered). Perhaps I don't understand the field being investigated, so it doesn't benefit from either up- or downvoting." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For the comparisons above, it currently looks like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;            TeX.SE   Super User   Server Fault   Physics        EE    Mathematics&#xD;&#xA;      ↑  1,440,460    1,964,282      1,261,362   575,663   466,268      3,511,289&#xD;&#xA;      ↓     17,360      254,889        168,570    91,254    78,871        380,931&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From this, there's a few points worth emphasizing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Compared to sites equivalent in age and current turnover, Physics and Electrical Engineering, TeX.SE does have way more upvotes around.&#xD;&#xA; - Similarly, the downvote count does seem rather low compared to everyone else.&#xD;&#xA; - However, SuperUser has a lot less rep on the top pages than TeX.SE... but it still has sizably more upvotes in the database.&#xD;&#xA; - The site with a comparable leaderboard, Mathematics, has more than twice the total rep.&#xD;&#xA; - While SU and SF do have more downvotes than TeX.SE, the negative effect of downvotes on rep is 1/5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of an upvote, and the count of (upvotes - 0.2 downvotes) for SU is still higher than the total upvotes of TeX.SE.&#xD;&#xA; - That means that explanations along the lines of &quot;we don't downvote&quot; that don't address that ratio have rather low explanatory power.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For me, that says that there also needs to be more concentration of rep on the top tiers, which ties in with (and provides evidence for) https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1867/should-high-rep-users-hang-back-a-little.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, just to be clear,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Yes, rep is just fake internet points and ultimately doesn't matter. However, metrics like these do carry a nontrivial amount of information about each community and they are a reflection of the informal culture in the group.&#xD;&#xA; - Along similar lines, most of the comments saying 'it doesn't matter' and the like seem to come mostly from people whose experience on the SE network is here or on StackOverflow, and who may not be in a position to see just how crazy-high that rep board looks like. Trust me - it's anomalously high, and very much so. Hence this question. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Once I've been an editor for the proceedings of a small conference, I don't want to tell you about the kind of horrible code abuses I saw there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So from the beginning I had been trying to push forward this TeX-StackExchange initiative because I think this could be a solution to that problem. Because here we can edit and keep the answers current and up to date (some people out there are still using `eepic`!). Because if someone has a question about an existing answer he can ask and get a clarification. And that's why I also think, particularly when the question is asked by a clear beginner, that we should make the extra effort to be more friendly and educate the people who will be later also asking and answering the questions of this site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:** Just to clarify, I'm not suggesting that we should babysit new LaTeX users, neither we should tolerate lazy users who can't botter to read or follow instructions. Probably all that we need to provide is just enough information that an unexperienced but diligent user could use in order to figure out the way by themselves." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you have a question about ...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - TeX or any of its descendants like LaTeX, XeTeX, LuaTeX and ConTeXt&#xD;&#xA; - TeX distributions like TeX Live, MiKTeX or MacTeX,&#xD;&#xA; - (La)TeX related software and tools like BibTeX, LyX, LaTeX editors, viewer and converter software&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;... then you're in the right place to ask your question!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The best questions contain [some code][1].

Though possibly help is available here because many of us use some of the common editors and tools. It might be hard for a new user to find the correct forum, mailing-list or wiki for a very specific piece of software. If a question is hard to answer here, we know where to lead the questioner as we know the resources. That's the reason why I included such related software: we don't sent the questioner back just because his question concerns a LaTeX IDE feature but not LaTeX itself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another FAQ entry or link could write that clearly.

But I think we should try to define some guidelines on how these questions should be handled by the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can see basically two kinds of approaches:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **One item per answer** (example: [What packages do people load by default in LaTeX?][packages])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **One answer with all items** (example: [What are other good resources on-line for information about TeX, LaTeX and friends?][resources])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[packages]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/553/what-packages-do-people-load-by-default-in-latex&#xD;&#xA;[resources]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/162/what-are-other-good-resources-on-line-for-information-about-tex-latex-and-friend/1621#1621&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, the questions, ¿Should we try to prefer one style over the other? And, if so, ¿which one?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, I think any such question **has to be made Community Wiki**. First there is no “right” answer, `big-list` *means* many answers are expected. Moreover, the answers are likely to change over time (new packages coming making some old obsolete, new online resources showing up some going out). And I say this because the later example is not, yet, CW. (Does anyone has the power to do this yet? Or do we still need a moderator?)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, the advantage of “one item per answer” seems that we can discuss and vote answers individually. Which I think has been proven quite useful in the first example, so most common (useful?) answers naturally flow to the top. And it's easy to &quot;amend&quot; new or additional information to each answer as comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also see the appeal of “one answer with all items”, it's all just *right there*, much less clutter, can be organized much more nicely. For example in the question about on-line resources, Stefan Kottwitz split his answers by Newsgroups, Webforums, FAQS, ... Which is impossible to do with the alternative approach.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, I think the “one answer with all items” has its problems. First, and that's why it should be CW, for ‘the’ answer there should be no [editing etiquette](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/340/when-is-it-and-isnt-acceptable-to-edit), the *only* way to add new information is to edit said answer. For example, *the* answer for the online-resources doesn't mention resources in spanish, if the answer were to be made complete I should be able to add them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But the problem is then that there is no way to “moderate” (as a community) the answers or the edits made to the “big-answer”. How can we know, from all the individual items, which ones are popular? which ones are more useful? But even worst, what happens if we all go an add all the links for all the (La)TeX online resources out there (the big and the small) in all the languages spoken in the world? Wouldn't just the answer become an useless bloat?" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The large majority of questions in the site are about LaTeX anyway, but only a few of them are tagged so.

But the problem is that most them don't even have a clear idea of what is the difference between TeX and LaTeX. And this was causing a situation where most questions were miss-tagged as “latex” even when they didn't have anything specific about LaTeX, even worst, for some questions “latex” was the only tag given which was kind of useless.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then there was the idea of introducing the tag “latex-general” for things that are *really* LaTeX, but I'm starting to worry that new users will also often misuse this tag all the same. So I agree that the current tagging policy is not optimal, and any suggestions are more than welcome.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, I don't see how the tagging policy could discourage ConTeXt users about asking questions in the site. Do they come here and have a look at the set of tags before deciding whether to ask a new question? I think probably the best to do is promote the site on exiting hubs where ConTeXt users can be already found.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, about the name of the site. Well, “TeX, LaTeX and friends” was just a temporary name for the site proposal; but now is the time to [propose better ideas](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/519/write-an-elevator-pitch-tagline)."

But the problem is that most them don't even have a clear idea of what is the difference between TeX and LaTeX. And this was causing a situation where most questions were miss-tagged as “latex” even when they didn't have anything specific about LaTeX, even worst, for some questions “latex” was the only tag given which was kind of useless.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Then there was the idea of introducing the tag “latex-general” for things that are *really* LaTeX, but I'm starting to worry that new users will also often misuse this tag all the same. So I agree that the current tagging policy is not optimal, and any suggestions are more than welcome.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, I don't see how the tagging policy could discourage ConTeXt users about asking questions in the site. Do they come here and have a look at the set of tags before deciding whether to ask a new question? I think probably the best to do is promote the site on exiting hubs where ConTeXt users can be already found.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, about the name of the site. Well, “TeX, LaTeX and friends” was just a temporary name for the site proposal; but now is the time to [propose better ideas](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/519/write-an-elevator-pitch-tagline)."

This means that there is a quite strict format enforced here. Please post an answerable **question** using the [*Ask Question*](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ask) button (after [searching for existing similar questions](http://tex.stackexchange.com/search) first of course) or post a solution for an existing question as an **answer** post. Please **do not start discussions** or ask off-topic questions. You can also post **comments** to questions and answers to provide feedback. At first you can only comment on your own questions and their answers, but after you have gained a reputation of 50 you can comment everywhere. There is also [**chat**](http://chat.stackexchange.com/) for more casual posts. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Questions and answers can receive positive and negative **votes** to indicate their quality. Answers are sorted after the number of votes so that the better ones appear first. The votes that answers and questions receive also increase or decrease the **reputation** of the author of the post. With increasing reputation users will receive more and more [**privileges**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges) to do more things on the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The most useful **answer that solved your problem** should be **accepted** by clicking the tick/checkmark symbol to the left of the answer. This shows other people that this is &quot;the correct answer&quot; in your opinion and assigns points to the answerer and also you. The question will then be handled as &quot;done&quot; which is important for the housekeeping of the site. However, new answers can still be added and the question asker can accept a different answer at any time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* It is highly recommended to add a compilable, but [**minimal working example (MWE)**](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that) that illustrates your problem. This way other users can compile it themselves, analyze error messages more closely and also easily implement and test their solutions before posting them. This allows also for full, compilable examples to be posted in the answers which are very helpful for the question asker and all other people with the same problem. Note that in (La)TeX, issues are often dependent on the  packages used, and other people won't be able to provide much help if they don't know which packages you are using. Another reason for constructing a MWE is that you will often discover the source of your problem yourself just by trying to construct the example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Post should be **formatted** correctly using the simple **[Markdown](http://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help) format**. This ensures that the posts are easy to read. Here the most important formatting styles used on this site:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * Format *(La)TeX code* as code blocks by indenting them with four spaces. The `{}` button (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;) will do this for you.&#xD;&#xA;    * Format *inline code* using backticks, e.g. write `` `\somecode` `` to produce `\somecode`. Instead of typing the backticks, you can also highlight `\somecode` and use the `{}` button (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;).  &#xD;&#xA;This format should also be used for single macro and environment names, package and class names as well as command line executables.&#xD;&#xA;    * Please do not use &quot;here&quot; and &quot;this&quot; links to other questions and answers  but insert the link directly. The site will format it automatically.&#xD;&#xA;    * Error messages should be formatted as code blocks, not as quotations because they usually contain (La)TeX code which is more readable in this format.&#xD;&#xA;    * Quotes from manuals, website etc. as well as example text results (not code) should be formatted using quotation blocks (i.e. place a `&gt;` before the lines)&#xD;&#xA;    * Images should only be uploaded using the &quot;Image&quot; icon (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;G&lt;/kbd&gt;) which uses a special, time-less http://imgur.com/ account. Including images using a different way, like uploading it manually to imgur.com or using a different provider, might lead to broken images after a while and is not recommended. Please ensure that the image is in a suitable size (not too big or too small) and resolution and only shows relevant things without large margins.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Please **avoid opening and closing lines** like &quot;Hi&quot; (already automatically removed) and &quot;Thanks&quot;. Salutations, greetings and expressions of gratitude are already implied and only distract from the real question. Also the first two lines of the post will be displayed below the question title in the overview page and such lines will reduce the amount of useful information being displayed there. The author name is already displayed on the right site below the post, so there is no need for an extra signature line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* This is a serious, international site for high quality content. Please **write in English** and avoid [leetspeak](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet) or similar things even if they are common in other places of the Internet. Non-native English speakers are very welcome and your English doesn't have to be perfect, but posts should show some basic effort. This will make your post readable to most people and greatly improves the chance of getting good answers. The fact that all posts are editable also means that other users may correct your English for you if necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Please **post rough ideas, suggestions and similar material as comments** and reserve answers for actual solutions. You can edit your posts anytime to e.g. add more details to your question or to adjust your answer. Do not use long comment threads for longer or even medium sized discussions. Use  [chat](http://chat.stackexchange.com/) instead. You can even open your own chat room if you want. Please note that everything here is open and all your chat messages will be archived and accessible to others (as long the room is not restricted by a moderator).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* You can **notify other users** by adding comments to their posts or by adding their names after an `@`, i.e. `@username` in your comment. Note this only works for the first user mentioned this way and only if that user wrote a previous comment for the same post. The post author is always notified. Notifications also work in  chat if the user posted a message there not too long ago. See https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/598/when-writing-a-comment-how-do-i-ensure-that-the-person-it-is-addressed-to-gets-n for more details.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* There are **[three](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users?tab=moderators) [democratically elected](http://tex.stackexchange.com/election) [moderators](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/05/a-theory-of-moderation/)** for this site. They can be notified about issues by **flagging posts** using the `flag` link below each post.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* While you can post questions and answers as unregistered user, please consider **registering your account**. Otherwise you might create a new, different unregistered account with the same name and icon. Then you will not be able to edit your old posts or add comments to them. You can ask a moderator to merge such accounts together.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Questions about the site itself should be asked on [Meta.TeX.SX](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/), not on the main site. Here the restrictions are lower and you are free to start discussions as long they are about how to run the site etc." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I don't think there should be a distinction in this context. Having at least an excerpt helps during (re)tagging and tag organization (usually performed by mods anyway), so the moderators have some extra incentive to establish some guidelines when a specific tag should be applied or not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** No.  And if you are looking for a moderator to make significant contributions in this regard, do not vote for me because I will disappoint you.  I am happy to keep contribution to questions and answers and being a camp counselor but I don't want to tempt myself into spending a lot of time writing tag wikis.  I *will* seek out and recruit tag wiki authors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep:** For subject areas where they are knowledgeable, community moderators have a higher-than-average responsibility for writing (and revising) tag wikis. For other areas, they should rather pester the &quot;top users&quot; to get some wiki entries started. Once the initial work is done, moderators may suggest possible additional content and act as copy editors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): No. That is the responsibility of all users who have been here sufficiently long to know what the various tags are about. On the other hand, I think the mods have a higher than average responsibility in *editing* and improving the tag wiki pages (e.g. by correcting spelling and trying to keep them consistent), as the list of recent tag wiki changes is only visible with the mod/10k tools.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer): The moderators should make sure that important tasks on tex.sx are getting done. Tag wiki pages are IMHO important. As I already wrote in my candidature post I would like to encourage *all* users to provide good tag wiki suggestions. I made many tag wiki suggestions already in the past and as moderator I will continue to do so even more. I would like to get every user to make suggestions for the tags they are most knowledgeable in. Some tags still need some clarification. Sometimes I'm not sure which area they exactly cover. This things can and should be discussed on Meta. A have the idea to compile a list of to-be-edited tag wiki pages for the more important and frequently used tags.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright][1]** Moderators are high-reputation members of the community in most cases, and so do have a place in writing tags where they do know about them. However, that's purely a member of the community, not as a moderator _per se_. So I would not expect any additional responsibility on moderators in respect of tag writing. (My answer is therefore very similar to several of the other candidates: whether you regard this as a good thing I don't know.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Stefan Kottwitz**][2] Writing tag wikis is a joint effort. I assume mainly tag specialists would edit wikis where they are the experts or propose edits. Moderators could help and keep looking at it in order to keep a good standard. I edited a number of tag wikis, but feeling as a user, not as a moderator. However, moderators could show ideas. For example, I can imagine tag wikis for broad tags being like a good structured mini web site: starting with a description, showing a list of related packages and listing remarkable question on this site, sorted by sub topic, further showing sub tags and closely related tags. This is an idea for the future when we will have to manage a huge amount of material.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** Yes, I think that moderators should have more responsibility for the tag wiki than the rest of us. That doesn't mean that they should write tag wikis for tags they aren't familiar with, that would be counter-productive. But they should make sure the wikis are well structured, clearly written with working links. And if the moderators also happen to be experts in some tags, they certainly should take it upon themselves to write them up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213/stefan-kottwitz" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It happened in [this question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/7340/1235) on the parent site before I edited the post and changed the blockquote to a code block. Here I don't want to talk about when to use which of these two; that's the topic of [another question on meta](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/788/1235). For those who wonder why I ask a very similar question as in my previous post: The question in that one is effectively locked by the &quot;status-bydesign&quot; tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For completeness I repeat the &quot;spoiler&quot; effect here:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ! LaTeX Error: File `hypernat.sty' not found.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You see that the text only shows up when the mouse hovers over it, and that the &quot;!&quot; has gone: This is a new feature that &quot;!&quot; introduces a &quot;spoiler&quot;. In the above example, the &quot;spoiler&quot; effect clearly is not desired. So I'd like to know if others agree that we want the feature turned off on tex.sx.

My point is: I think that the one example I gave is quite sufficient; it took me some time to find out what happened, and is was a &quot;naturally occurring&quot; thing as TeX error messages _always_ start with a &quot;!&quot;. And I'm sure it _will_ happen again that users post error messages in blockquotes. I think we don't want our users to learn all the features of the software before they can format and post a decent question, so even if a blockquote isn't optimal for error messages, it's OK for an inexperienced user to use it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two possibilities of turning the feature off:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Turn it off completely, so using `&gt;!` won't cause the paragraph to be marked as &quot;spoiler&quot; class at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. Change only the CSS of our site, so the html still shows that the paragraph is &quot;spoiler&quot; class, but let it be rendered like a usual blockquote. This has the drawback that the &quot;!&quot; gets eaten, but I think that's not a big deal. One will still immediately see that the blockquote is an error message.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What do others think about this?" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But I'd like to see it going further, with positive second derivative as well as first.  What would you like to see the community doing that it isn't currently doing?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (Note that I'm not necessarily asking for what you _yourself_ would do (though you can answer that), but what you would look to encourage the community to do.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright][1]** One area that I think would help the moderators is more voting to close, _etc_., by high-reputation users. The model for SO is that most things happen on a community basis, so as we get more high reputation users then there should actually be _less_ for the moderators to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess one thing I'd want to avoid is 'mission creep'. The SO model works well for what it does: answering specific questions. However, there are other places to hold general discussion or to run a 'curated' FAQ. The {TeX} site is good, but it's not a panacea and I would not like to see this as the _only_ place for TeX-related support.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): The most important part is simply having good answers and easy to find knowledge. Then Google (and so on) will keep new users flowing in. Moderators are playing an important role here (though the majority of the editing/organizing work is of course done by the community as a whole). Improving questions is helping a lot for getting the search engines to find them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Apart from that, I liked some of the ideas discussed in https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/780/how-about-a-featured-tex-post. Featured answers could potentially increase answer quality (simply by pointing out what a good answer looks like) and some typesetting competitions can increase the amount of community involvement (and get some more people to read meta more frequently).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I like the idea of featuring some longer contributions.  Although we're good at answering many questions, we are answering some of them several times (&quot;What is `@` for?&quot;) still and perhaps featuring some of our most popular answers will get those frequently asked questions a bit less frequently asked.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think there should be some more &quot;fun&quot; questions as well, perhaps on meta.  I understand on StackOverflow Fridays are a day to ask more free-form questions and it would be enjoyable to shoot from the hip once in a while.  As long as it's vaguely TeX-related.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have also considered a bit more active recruitment.  Currently our questions are very findable so googlers are reaching us.  But we could also make an effort to invite package developers and mailing lists users to join the site.  I had even proposed a flier or trinket to distribute at meetings where a lot of TeX users attend (e.g., the Joint AMS/MAA Meetings).  Where we would get the funds for that kind of thing is a another question, but it's an idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep** At the moment, the vast majority of questions is about specific, sometimes pressing issues (like &quot;Why is symbol xy not showing up?&quot;). I'd like to see the community ask more questions about broader issues (best practices, pros and cons of different approaches to solve a problem). An excellent example is Seamus' question about [Theorem packages][2]. It probably makes our site more prominent at Google, but above that, it's a great resource for &quot;power users&quot; and developers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** Collaboration. Although CW posts are used sometimes when answering questions (I do when summarizing answers from my questions), it is rare that somebody comes along and decides to edit and append the post instead of adding their own. I understand that people do this out of respect towards others' work (and sometimes to get some rep themselves), but when I mark a post CW, I'd very much like somebody to come along to improve it, if they deem necessary. I think we can do more to promote collaboration on (some aspects of) the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer):&#xD;&#xA;Like Andrew said, the site is already doing very well. In some points it might be (even) better organized. For example I [miss a site-map](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/79977/156875) here which tells you about all the links and pages which exist. Some of them can't even be reached through hyper-links on the site and others are difficult to find.  &#xD;&#xA;Other things were already mentioned, like *tag wikis* and close votes.  &#xD;&#xA;I could also imaging some form of *polls* or *surveys* on meta. On &lt;http://perlmonks.org&gt;, a perl user site similar to SX but written of course in Perl, these surveys are interesting and/or funny. This could be done on Meta quite tidy in one thread (aka question) with small surveys as &quot;answers&quot;. The real survey answers are then pre-defined comments anyone can up-vote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another idea for improvement popped into my mind several times while seeing some bad user code on this side is to create more community wiki pages which describe some common errors and best practices. Maybe an own small version of LaTeX tabu and some small How To's. These pages make then excellent link targets from other questions. Google favors this site and therefore these pages will be found quickly by people which looking for it. In my opinion the community wiki format gives an excellent platform for these kind of shared posts. As moderator I like to encourage the creation and maintenance of these pages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5599/theorem-packages-which-to-use-which-conflict" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you don't like typing backticks, you can also highlight the inline code and hit &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt; (or click the &quot;code&quot; button, with &quot;{ }&quot; on it), but this doesn't work in comments. In **questions and answers**, there are only two (quite rare) cases where things might go wrong (see below for backslash escaping of backticks in comments):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. You need a backtick in the inline code. Then you can _either_ use double backticks ` `` ` _or_ &amp;nbsp;`&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`&amp;nbsp; to mark your code. For example, both &#xD;&#xA; - ``` ``\catcode`@=11`` ``` and&#xD;&#xA; - ``&lt;code&gt;\catcode`@=11&lt;/code&gt;``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; give ``\catcode`@=11``. Another example: ``` `` &quot;` `` ``` gives `` &quot;` `` (note the spaces!).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. You want spaces in the beginning and/or the end of the inline code, or you need multiple spaces within. Then you have to use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, which has 3 spaces between &quot;a&quot; and &quot;test&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` is an alternative for backticks, but it behaves differently: You can use HTML entities such as `&amp;nbsp;` inside. For example, `&lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, whereas `` `&amp;nbsp;` `` gives `&amp;nbsp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a rule of thumb, use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` only as a last resort. And then be aware that you can run into trouble if you try to use `&lt;` inside: `&lt;code&gt;a&lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&lt;/code&gt;! The way out: `&lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;. Moreover, `&lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Until 20 February 2011, markdown in **comments** [was quite a hassle](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/168/1235).

If you need a backtick in inline code in a comment, you can (and must) escape it (doesn't work in questions/answers!): `` `\catcode\`@=11` `` gives ``\catcode`@=11``.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. \#2 means that `` `\\` `` will _not_ give `\\` because the second backslash is interpreted as an escape for the subsequent backtick. This can be solved by using double backticks ` `` ` if the inline code ends with a backslash: ` ``\\`` ` gives `\\`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It is not possible to have spaces in the beginning and/or the end of inline code in comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One more important recent change: Inline code in comments can now be followed by a letter.

Among us there are both what&#xD;&#xA;&gt; we might call &quot;power users&quot; and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;TeXnicians&quot; (which is obviously both&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a caricature and a continuum). You can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; identify yourself on this continuum by&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the number of questions you answer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; with answers that involve&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `\makeatletter ... \makeatother`&#xD;&#xA;&gt; instead of `\usepackage{}` :-).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; I'm assuming a continuum that is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; roughly *beginner - normal user -&#xD;&#xA;&gt; power user - TeXnician*, but all of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the moderator candidates presumably&#xD;&#xA;&gt; meet the *power user* threshold.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; And while the difference between&#xD;&#xA;&gt; *power user* and *TeXnician* is partially a difference in *knowledge*,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I also see it much more so as a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; difference in *attitude* toward&#xD;&#xA;&gt; solutions than actual knowledge per&#xD;&#xA;&gt; se.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; So, where do you fit on the continuum, and how important do you think it is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that the moderators *represent* the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; continuum, rather than be stacked up&#xD;&#xA;&gt; at one end or the other of it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Joseph Wright**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright) As I'm a member of the [LaTeX3 Project](http://www.latex-project.org/latex3.html), I guess I'm firmly at one end of that spectrum (beyond `\makeatletter` and all the way to &lt;code&gt;\catcode`\@=11\relax&lt;/code&gt;), but my focus as a developer is mainly on making life easier for users. So I'd rather be able to provide an easy-to-follow pre-packaged answer than 'show off' with a long piece of code (depending on the question of course). Now, does it _matter_? That's back with 'what should a moderator do?', where the key thing is to know how to _ask_ questions. I guess in an ideal world we want a balance, so that the moderator team can bring experience of different parts of the TeX world to the site. But that should not be the over-riding criterion: being a good moderator is much more about the community side than the technical detail of questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): I'd put myself somewhere below power user. However, my knowledge of (La)TeX has increased quite a lot in the last few months, simply by reading lots of questions and answers on this site. In my answers I typically prefer simple prepackaged solutions, except when it is unavoidable (which, for drawing pictures, it often is). Does it matter for moderation? I don't think so. The job of moderators isn't to write answers. When they write answers, they do so as normal members in the community. Of course a fair knowledge of the field helps to judge what a good question/answer is and thus should help with moderation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer):&#xD;&#xA;Where I fit on the continuum? Mmmm, I'm more a TeXnician than a power user. I keep coding more LaTeX packages than writing actual content. :-) However, I find it important that good answers are given which can be grasp by beginners or normal users. I don't like it when someone just posts some code without *any* explanation. These good answers should be based on existing packages whenever possible and reasonable, or mention these as alternatives.  &#xD;&#xA;Moderators should have a good knowledge about (La)TeX but I don't think their &quot;rank&quot;, TeXnician or power user etc., is very important. Interest in this site and bringing in drive, responsibility and time are the more important properties. If you are now a total geek or an occasional user doesn't matter that much for the daily moderator's work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Tapankov**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/711/martin-tapankov) I guess I'm somewhat above normal user level, but I wouldn't call myself &quot;power user&quot;. I have learnt a lot from reading questions on the site in the last months, but still I have a long way to go. I have a practical disposition and try to answer questions a bit more thoroughly than what is necessary, in the hope that the answer will be a learning experience for the user instead of a prepackaged copy-and-paste solution. I like it when others do that as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the question about the continuum: For me there is no direct correlation between qualities that make a good moderator and those of a TeXnician. That being said, there are some moderator tasks that can benefit from expert knowledge and insight (tag organization, and wikis come to mind). I think time spent on the site and positive attitude are more important for moderators than the amount of `@`s in their answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**lockstep**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/510/lockstep) On the continuum, I would classify myself somewhere between normal and power user (my answers occasionally involve `\makeatletter`). My &quot;power user&quot; knowledge is for the most part concentrated in the bibliographies/biblatex subject area; apart from that, it's rather my curiosity than my actual LaTeX knowledge that distinguishes me from a normal user. (And the TeX command I use most is `\hyphenation`.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think it's important that at least one community moderator is at the &quot;TeXnician&quot; end so that bad questions/answers about [tag:tex-core] and the like will get identified and sorted out. For the other mods, &quot;normal user&quot; knowledge and a keen interest in the site should suffice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** I am emphatically a &quot;normal user&quot;. But you need normal users to answer normal user questions. If someone's question is &quot;Why doesn't `&amp;` display an ampersand?&quot;, giving them an answer that involves changing the catcode of `&amp;` and then redefining it as the unicode character for ampersand would be silly. (OK, that would be a silly thing to do regardless of what the question was, but... whatever). I don't think the level of TeXnical ability has much to do with ability to moderate this site. I think, in a way, having at least one moderator who _wasn't_ a TeXnician would be valuable: those of us closer to the ground have more understanding of new users' weak little minds. (This is obviously patently unfair: the top users on this site are all phenomenally helpful and patient with new users)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Konrad**: I am a power user in that I use LaTeX for almost *all* of my document work. But on the other hand, I’m not very proficient and I have (to date) not read a single LaTeX book from cover to cover. I *try* to use LaTeX “the right way” but I’m much less proficient than all the other candidates. I don’t think it’s that important that the moderators represent the continuum, though: even the best have at one point been beginners, and they hopefully remember how inadequate they felt. ;-)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

And I'm sure it _will_ happen again that users post error messages in blockquotes. I think we don't want our users to learn all the features of the software before they can format and post a decent question, so even if a blockquote isn't optimal for error messages, it's OK for an inexperienced user to use it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two possibilities of turning the feature off:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1.

I know some of high reputation users and moderators are. Well, it may give a very similar result!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I ask: who would like to become a member of the TUG?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I especially encourage&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* moderators&#xD;&#xA;* former nominees for the moderator job&#xD;&#xA;* very active users on meta&#xD;&#xA;* users who earned high reputation because of their contributions&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;to step forward. Perhaps you would tell us, if you would like to join, why, and what are your ideas regarding the future of this cooperation?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Btw. @all: posting ideas and comments to the [announcement on the blog][4] would be great too.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It would be great if you all vote for deserving candidates. Let's take about a week for that. The final decision is up to Stack Exchange, who made this happen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Edit: List completed ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We now have the eight members we are allowed as 'representatives' of TeX.SX. TUG will be informed of the names pretty soon, and hopefully the new members will bring benefits to TUG and to TeX.SX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1528/do-we-want-stack-exchange-to-become-an-institutional-member-of-the-tug&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/09/stack-exchange-is-institutional-member-of-the-tex-users-group/&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1727/how-do-we-choose-tex-se-members-for-representing-se-in-the-tug&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/09/stack-exchange-is-institutional-member-of-the-tex-users-group/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you don't like typing backticks, you can also highlight the inline code and hit &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt; (or click the &quot;code&quot; button, with &quot;{ }&quot; on it), but this doesn't work in comments. In **questions and answers**, there are only two (quite rare) cases where things might go wrong (see below for backslash escaping of backticks in comments):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. You need a backtick in the inline code. Then you can _either_ use double backticks ` `` ` _or_ &amp;nbsp;`&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`&amp;nbsp; to mark your code. For example, both &#xD;&#xA; - ``` ``\catcode`@=11`` ``` and&#xD;&#xA; - ``&lt;code&gt;\catcode`@=11&lt;/code&gt;``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; give ``\catcode`@=11``. Another example: ``` `` &quot;` `` ``` gives `` &quot;` `` (note the spaces!).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. You want spaces in the beginning and/or the end of the inline code, or you need multiple spaces within. Then you have to use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, which has 3 spaces between &quot;a&quot; and &quot;test&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` is an alternative for backticks, but it behaves differently: You can use HTML entities such as `&amp;nbsp;` inside. For example, `&lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, whereas `` `&amp;nbsp;` `` gives `&amp;nbsp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a rule of thumb, use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` only as a last resort. And then be aware that you can run into trouble if you try to use `&lt;` inside: `&lt;code&gt;a&lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&lt;/code&gt;! The way out: `&lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;. Moreover, `&lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Until 20 February 2011, markdown in **comments** [was quite a hassle](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/168/1235). Now the rules are [almost the same as for questions and answers](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/79546/can-we-please-have-a-place-where-changes-to-the-markdown-syntax-are-documented/79981#79981). These are the differences:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` to mark inline code doesn't work in comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If you need a backtick in inline code in a comment, you can (and must) escape it (doesn't work in questions/answers!): `` `\catcode\`@=11` `` gives ``\catcode`@=11``.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. \#2 means that `` `\\` `` will _not_ give `\\` because the second backslash is interpreted as an escape for the subsequent backtick. This can be solved by using double backticks ` `` ` if the inline code ends with a backslash: ` ``\\`` ` gives `\\`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It is not possible to have spaces in the beginning and/or the end of inline code in comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One more important recent change: Inline code in comments can now be followed by a letter. For example, `` `\vspace`s `` now renders as `\vspace`s." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The original idea had a somewhat of a lukewarm support, but mostly because the idea was to stretch TeX-SE into something which doesn't really fit the Stack Exchange model. However, there's now a [Code Golf][2] site on the SE network (with somewhat disappointing stats currently), so the Powers That Be are not against the idea in general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Recently the topic was raised by others in chat and in random comments here and there, so I thought I'd give it a second go and see how far it will go this time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll try to lay out some sensible rules to keep it in line with the official policy, as well as checks and balances to prevent abuse. In no particular order:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Frequency.** Not too often so that the normal operation of the site is not disrupted. Once per month is probably frequent enough. Something of a predefined schedule would be a good idea.&#xD;&#xA; - **Previous discussion**. A discussion on meta before announcing the contest on the main site should help spotting some problems in the question-to-be-contest (such as level of interest, difficulty level, real-world applicability).&#xD;&#xA; - **Content**. Real-world problems should be preferred, to provide something more than pure entertainment value for the contestants and the by-standers. Besides, this lines up with the official SE stance on this. At any rate, non-obvious useful challenging problems that would require a few hours of work and some ammount of thinking should be preferred.&#xD;&#xA; - **Eligibility.** The contests should ensure as broad participation as possible, so the questions preferably shouldn't be focused on using a specific technology. Some less used typesetting systems, macro packages and languages would bring extra flavour and interesting solutions to the challenges.&#xD;&#xA; - **Judgement**. This is somewhat tricky, as the rep contributor is the only person that can give the award. At any rate, some more formal evaluation of the entries is desirable, to avoid bias towards e.g. uses of certain technologies (For example, I have basically no knowledge about ConTeXt, so I would not be in a position to say how good a given answer is, and I'd rather award the prize to a solution that uses a familiar technology). An appointed jury of three would work best here, but it will be a stretch of duties to ask the moderators to do the job. &#xD;&#xA; - **Zero tolerance for violating the rules**. The moderators and high-rep users should close as off-topic all attempts to announce a bounty on a question with the intent to spur a contest without jumping through all the hoops.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any sort of feedback is welcome, especially the deeply criticizing kind. Additional considerations I haven't thought of are also appreciated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/496/idea-for-tex-latex-friends-contests&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://codegolf.stackexchange.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I don't think there should be a distinction in this context. Having at least an excerpt helps during (re)tagging and tag organization (usually performed by mods anyway), so the moderators have some extra incentive to establish some guidelines when a specific tag should be applied or not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** No.  And if you are looking for a moderator to make significant contributions in this regard, do not vote for me because I will disappoint you.  I am happy to keep contribution to questions and answers and being a camp counselor but I don't want to tempt myself into spending a lot of time writing tag wikis.  I *will* seek out and recruit tag wiki authors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep:** For subject areas where they are knowledgeable, community moderators have a higher-than-average responsibility for writing (and revising) tag wikis. For other areas, they should rather pester the &quot;top users&quot; to get some wiki entries started. Once the initial work is done, moderators may suggest possible additional content and act as copy editors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): No. That is the responsibility of all users who have been here sufficiently long to know what the various tags are about. On the other hand, I think the mods have a higher than average responsibility in *editing* and improving the tag wiki pages (e.g. by correcting spelling and trying to keep them consistent), as the list of recent tag wiki changes is only visible with the mod/10k tools.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer): The moderators should make sure that important tasks on tex.sx are getting done. Tag wiki pages are IMHO important. As I already wrote in my candidature post I would like to encourage *all* users to provide good tag wiki suggestions. I made many tag wiki suggestions already in the past and as moderator I will continue to do so even more. I would like to get every user to make suggestions for the tags they are most knowledgeable in. Some tags still need some clarification. Sometimes I'm not sure which area they exactly cover. This things can and should be discussed on Meta. A have the idea to compile a list of to-be-edited tag wiki pages for the more important and frequently used tags.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright][1]** Moderators are high-reputation members of the community in most cases, and so do have a place in writing tags where they do know about them. However, that's purely a member of the community, not as a moderator _per se_. So I would not expect any additional responsibility on moderators in respect of tag writing. (My answer is therefore very similar to several of the other candidates: whether you regard this as a good thing I don't know.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Stefan Kottwitz**][2] Writing tag wikis is a joint effort. I assume mainly tag specialists would edit wikis where they are the experts or propose edits. Moderators could help and keep looking at it in order to keep a good standard. I edited a number of tag wikis, but feeling as a user, not as a moderator. However, moderators could show ideas. For example, I can imagine tag wikis for broad tags being like a good structured mini web site: starting with a description, showing a list of related packages and listing remarkable question on this site, sorted by sub topic, further showing sub tags and closely related tags. This is an idea for the future when we will have to manage a huge amount of material.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** Yes, I think that moderators should have more responsibility for the tag wiki than the rest of us. That doesn't mean that they should write tag wikis for tags they aren't familiar with, that would be counter-productive. But they should make sure the wikis are well structured, clearly written with working links. And if the moderators also happen to be experts in some tags, they certainly should take it upon themselves to write them up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213/stefan-kottwitz" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But I'd like to see it going further, with positive second derivative as well as first.  What would you like to see the community doing that it isn't currently doing?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (Note that I'm not necessarily asking for what you _yourself_ would do (though you can answer that), but what you would look to encourage the community to do.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright][1]** One area that I think would help the moderators is more voting to close, _etc_., by high-reputation users. The model for SO is that most things happen on a community basis, so as we get more high reputation users then there should actually be _less_ for the moderators to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess one thing I'd want to avoid is 'mission creep'. The SO model works well for what it does: answering specific questions. However, there are other places to hold general discussion or to run a 'curated' FAQ. The {TeX} site is good, but it's not a panacea and I would not like to see this as the _only_ place for TeX-related support.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): The most important part is simply having good answers and easy to find knowledge. Then Google (and so on) will keep new users flowing in. Moderators are playing an important role here (though the majority of the editing/organizing work is of course done by the community as a whole). Improving questions is helping a lot for getting the search engines to find them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Apart from that, I liked some of the ideas discussed in https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/780/how-about-a-featured-tex-post. Featured answers could potentially increase answer quality (simply by pointing out what a good answer looks like) and some typesetting competitions can increase the amount of community involvement (and get some more people to read meta more frequently).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I like the idea of featuring some longer contributions.  Although we're good at answering many questions, we are answering some of them several times (&quot;What is `@` for?&quot;) still and perhaps featuring some of our most popular answers will get those frequently asked questions a bit less frequently asked.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think there should be some more &quot;fun&quot; questions as well, perhaps on meta.  I understand on StackOverflow Fridays are a day to ask more free-form questions and it would be enjoyable to shoot from the hip once in a while.  As long as it's vaguely TeX-related.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have also considered a bit more active recruitment.  Currently our questions are very findable so googlers are reaching us.  But we could also make an effort to invite package developers and mailing lists users to join the site.  I had even proposed a flier or trinket to distribute at meetings where a lot of TeX users attend (e.g., the Joint AMS/MAA Meetings).  Where we would get the funds for that kind of thing is a another question, but it's an idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep** At the moment, the vast majority of questions is about specific, sometimes pressing issues (like &quot;Why is symbol xy not showing up?&quot;). I'd like to see the community ask more questions about broader issues (best practices, pros and cons of different approaches to solve a problem). An excellent example is Seamus' question about [Theorem packages][2]. It probably makes our site more prominent at Google, but above that, it's a great resource for &quot;power users&quot; and developers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** Collaboration. Although CW posts are used sometimes when answering questions (I do when summarizing answers from my questions), it is rare that somebody comes along and decides to edit and append the post instead of adding their own. I understand that people do this out of respect towards others' work (and sometimes to get some rep themselves), but when I mark a post CW, I'd very much like somebody to come along to improve it, if they deem necessary. I think we can do more to promote collaboration on (some aspects of) the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer):&#xD;&#xA;Like Andrew said, the site is already doing very well. In some points it might be (even) better organized. For example I [miss a site-map](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/79977/156875) here which tells you about all the links and pages which exist. Some of them can't even be reached through hyper-links on the site and others are difficult to find.  &#xD;&#xA;Other things were already mentioned, like *tag wikis* and close votes.  &#xD;&#xA;I could also imaging some form of *polls* or *surveys* on meta. On &lt;http://perlmonks.org&gt;, a perl user site similar to SX but written of course in Perl, these surveys are interesting and/or funny. This could be done on Meta quite tidy in one thread (aka question) with small surveys as &quot;answers&quot;. The real survey answers are then pre-defined comments anyone can up-vote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another idea for improvement popped into my mind several times while seeing some bad user code on this side is to create more community wiki pages which describe some common errors and best practices. Maybe an own small version of LaTeX tabu and some small How To's. These pages make then excellent link targets from other questions. Google favors this site and therefore these pages will be found quickly by people which looking for it. In my opinion the community wiki format gives an excellent platform for these kind of shared posts. As moderator I like to encourage the creation and maintenance of these pages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5599/theorem-packages-which-to-use-which-conflict" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

To keep up-to-date with recent developments, I regularly read [“Recent feature changes to Stack Exchange”](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/59445/recent-feature-changes-to-stack-exchange) and read the [SX blog](http://blog.stackexchange.com/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright)** The number of posts on the main SO site and on meta.SO makes it impractical to 'watch' it just to pull out the few things that are relevant to us.

Of course, moderators should understand the site they are nominally in charge of, but does that really mean involving oneself with the meta.SO site?

Among us there are both what&#xD;&#xA;&gt; we might call &quot;power users&quot; and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;TeXnicians&quot; (which is obviously both&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a caricature and a continuum). You can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; identify yourself on this continuum by&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the number of questions you answer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; with answers that involve&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `\makeatletter ... \makeatother`&#xD;&#xA;&gt; instead of `\usepackage{}` :-).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; I'm assuming a continuum that is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; roughly *beginner - normal user -&#xD;&#xA;&gt; power user - TeXnician*, but all of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the moderator candidates presumably&#xD;&#xA;&gt; meet the *power user* threshold.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; And while the difference between&#xD;&#xA;&gt; *power user* and *TeXnician* is partially a difference in *knowledge*,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I also see it much more so as a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; difference in *attitude* toward&#xD;&#xA;&gt; solutions than actual knowledge per&#xD;&#xA;&gt; se.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; So, where do you fit on the continuum, and how important do you think it is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that the moderators *represent* the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; continuum, rather than be stacked up&#xD;&#xA;&gt; at one end or the other of it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Joseph Wright**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright) As I'm a member of the [LaTeX3 Project](http://www.latex-project.org/latex3.html), I guess I'm firmly at one end of that spectrum (beyond `\makeatletter` and all the way to &lt;code&gt;\catcode`\@=11\relax&lt;/code&gt;), but my focus as a developer is mainly on making life easier for users. So I'd rather be able to provide an easy-to-follow pre-packaged answer than 'show off' with a long piece of code (depending on the question of course). Now, does it _matter_? That's back with 'what should a moderator do?', where the key thing is to know how to _ask_ questions. I guess in an ideal world we want a balance, so that the moderator team can bring experience of different parts of the TeX world to the site. But that should not be the over-riding criterion: being a good moderator is much more about the community side than the technical detail of questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): I'd put myself somewhere below power user. However, my knowledge of (La)TeX has increased quite a lot in the last few months, simply by reading lots of questions and answers on this site. In my answers I typically prefer simple prepackaged solutions, except when it is unavoidable (which, for drawing pictures, it often is). Does it matter for moderation? I don't think so. The job of moderators isn't to write answers. When they write answers, they do so as normal members in the community. Of course a fair knowledge of the field helps to judge what a good question/answer is and thus should help with moderation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer):&#xD;&#xA;Where I fit on the continuum? Mmmm, I'm more a TeXnician than a power user. I keep coding more LaTeX packages than writing actual content. :-) However, I find it important that good answers are given which can be grasp by beginners or normal users. I don't like it when someone just posts some code without *any* explanation. These good answers should be based on existing packages whenever possible and reasonable, or mention these as alternatives.  &#xD;&#xA;Moderators should have a good knowledge about (La)TeX but I don't think their &quot;rank&quot;, TeXnician or power user etc., is very important. Interest in this site and bringing in drive, responsibility and time are the more important properties. If you are now a total geek or an occasional user doesn't matter that much for the daily moderator's work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Tapankov**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/711/martin-tapankov) I guess I'm somewhat above normal user level, but I wouldn't call myself &quot;power user&quot;. I have learnt a lot from reading questions on the site in the last months, but still I have a long way to go. I have a practical disposition and try to answer questions a bit more thoroughly than what is necessary, in the hope that the answer will be a learning experience for the user instead of a prepackaged copy-and-paste solution. I like it when others do that as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the question about the continuum: For me there is no direct correlation between qualities that make a good moderator and those of a TeXnician. That being said, there are some moderator tasks that can benefit from expert knowledge and insight (tag organization, and wikis come to mind). I think time spent on the site and positive attitude are more important for moderators than the amount of `@`s in their answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**lockstep**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/510/lockstep) On the continuum, I would classify myself somewhere between normal and power user (my answers occasionally involve `\makeatletter`). My &quot;power user&quot; knowledge is for the most part concentrated in the bibliographies/biblatex subject area; apart from that, it's rather my curiosity than my actual LaTeX knowledge that distinguishes me from a normal user. (And the TeX command I use most is `\hyphenation`.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think it's important that at least one community moderator is at the &quot;TeXnician&quot; end so that bad questions/answers about [tag:tex-core] and the like will get identified and sorted out. For the other mods, &quot;normal user&quot; knowledge and a keen interest in the site should suffice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** I am emphatically a &quot;normal user&quot;. But you need normal users to answer normal user questions. If someone's question is &quot;Why doesn't `&amp;` display an ampersand?&quot;, giving them an answer that involves changing the catcode of `&amp;` and then redefining it as the unicode character for ampersand would be silly. (OK, that would be a silly thing to do regardless of what the question was, but... whatever). I don't think the level of TeXnical ability has much to do with ability to moderate this site. I think, in a way, having at least one moderator who _wasn't_ a TeXnician would be valuable: those of us closer to the ground have more understanding of new users' weak little minds. (This is obviously patently unfair: the top users on this site are all phenomenally helpful and patient with new users)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Konrad**: I am a power user in that I use LaTeX for almost *all* of my document work. But on the other hand, I’m not very proficient and I have (to date) not read a single LaTeX book from cover to cover.

Discussions on TeX.sx are mostly focused on the actual source code or a [minimal working example][3] that produce the (un)desired result, and for this reason, inline rendering is not only unnecessary, it is actively harmful (when, for example, one would want to quote a command instead of show its result). I'm not even going to mention the implications this has on page loading speed -- try it on a slow machine with older browser on one of the more notation-heavy questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contrast this with Physics.sx and Math.sx (and also Math Overflow) where the notation is absolutely critical to facilitating the discussion. Here on TeX.sx, the plain old source code is sufficient -- questions on aesthetics (although acceptable here) are much less frequent than those from the &quot;where's the problem in this code&quot; or &quot;how do I do X&quot; variety.

At the same time, we want to encourage new users to follow the correct Q&amp;A approach here. That shows up most commonly when a users posts an 'answer' to a question which is either a new question, is really a comment or does not really fully answer the question. Often, these 'non-answers' get flagged for moderation, and it's then up to the mod team to take appropriate action.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The approach that has been taken on TeX.sx to date in dealing with flagged questions is somewhat different from other parts of the StackExchange network. This became apparent after a [meta post](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1808/do-we-like-non-tex-sx-moderator-activity-on-the-main-site) and some [chat discussion](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/2065009#2065009) yesterday. It's therefore important to understand the two approaches, before considering whether we should modify what we do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The current TeX.sx approach works broadly as follows. When an answer is flagged, the moderators of course take a look at it. Assuming it falls into the 'non-answers' category I've outlined above, either a mod or some other 'involved' user leaves a message to the poster. These are usually modelled on those from the [building blocks](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/430/text-building-blocks) page, for example&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [Welcome to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; TeX.sx!](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Your question won't be seen by many people here so it would be best to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; repost it as a fresh question. Follow-up questions like this are more&#xD;&#xA;&gt; than welcome! Please use the &quot;Ask Question&quot; link for your new&#xD;&#xA;&gt; question; there you can link to this question to provide the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; background.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;or&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Instead of posting a “Thank you” as an additional answer, you should&#xD;&#xA;&gt; thank [user] by upvoting [his/her] answer (with the upward pointing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; arrow to the left of it; you need 15 reputation points before you can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; upvote) and accepting it (by clicking on the checkmark). We want to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; keep the answer space reserved for actual answers, so this non-answer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will be removed from public view soon.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The flag is then left 'on' as a bookmark, and the OP is given about a day to return to the site and make a change themselves. If after 24 h nothing has happened, then the mods do remove the item from public view, convert to a comment, or whatever seems most appropriate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The more general StackExchange model starts in the same way: see flag, look at 'answer', consider its status. The next step in the SE approach is again to leave a comment, but then to immediately remove the 'answer' from public view. The idea is that the user will still get a notification, _via_ the global inbox, of the comment, but that this will be (almost) a private message as the only people who can see the comment will be +10k users. As well as avoiding any look of 'criticism' in public, the idea is that this approach scales to very large numbers of issues.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So what I'd like to invite as answers here is views on the relative merits of the two approaches, in particular _seen from the POV of a new user_."

On top of that, there's a [Necromancer badge][1] to sweeten the deal if the question is old and you manage to get a few upvotes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The TeX-SE community is usually quick to spot problematic (i.e. wrong) answers, but unfortunately some older questions haven't been updated. So, if you see a question that can be improved (and is not community wiki), by all means, post your answer and comment. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/badges/17/necromancer" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Martin's [ctanhg][1] solves the problem of archiving (it doesn't solve the original problem, but at least points to the right direction).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But I'm writing because of the second issue. It seems to me that TeX.SX reputation scheme could easily be used for tagging and rating TeX packages in the same way as questions are rated. I'm not trying to say that coding it would be trivial, but it would probably be the first useful attempt in history trying to rate packages. I would like to see a new subdomain packages.tex.stackexchange.com, listing all of CTAN packages, with the following functionality:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Each user with sufficient rights may vote up or down. Maybe number of stars is more appropriate, but then it is difficult to tell what exactly two stars mean. I would like the number of votes to reflect popularity on one hand. If two people give five stars, this only tells you that the package is not really popular. Maybe 1 point for &quot;useful&quot;, 5 points for &quot;excellent&quot;, -1 for &quot;bad&quot; and -10 for &quot;very very bad&quot;. If package authors have an account on TeX.SX and if the association is made, they should be granted points from their packages to their reputation on SX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Maybe more than a single category for voting is needed. I would like to vote on:&#xD;&#xA;  - Is package maintained? Is it up-to-date? (Does it work with XeLaTeX for example?)&#xD;&#xA;  - How buggy is it? What is the overall code quality and documentation?&#xD;&#xA;  - How important is it? (TikZ or babel are highly important, but babel is not maintaned.)&#xD;&#xA; - Ability for adding &quot;See Also&quot; with comments/reasons why.&#xD;&#xA;  - For example: even though PSTricks is still an excellent package, one could suggest users to take TikZ instead if starting from scratch.&#xD;&#xA;  - bib package for ConTeXt and biblatex (&amp; friends) for LaTeX: each one serving a different purpose (one is not a replacement for the other), but still tightly related.&#xD;&#xA; - Space for general comments. (With high reputation users being able to edit, as usual.)&#xD;&#xA; - Some kind of wiki to enable community-driven descriptions of packages. Some packages on CTAN miss descriptions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why all that? TeX Live gains a few hundreds of megabytes of extra packages each year with basically zero feedback about their usefulness and popularity. Packages are taken into distribution with zero quality control and once they are in, everyone is afraid to remove them since somebody might be already using that package. With some honest feedback, this would help us make a clear picture of current package status. It would also make it easier for new users to find the packages they are looking for. CTAN offers catalogue with categories, but doesn't show you feedback: for example why some particular package did or did not solve a particular problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If all package descriptions would be hosted on SX, this would also answer the questions of [Automatic links to the CTAN catalogue][2].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Feel free to edit my post.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://ctanhg.scharrer-online.de/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/73/automatic-links-to-the-ctan-catalogue" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is similar to writing &quot;Γρεεκ λεττερς&quot; with Greek letters but using English language (in Latin letters: &quot;Greek letters&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;Black Speech was the language created by Sauron for his servants in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Mordor. Over the centuries many of the Orcs developed their own&#xD;&#xA;&gt; dialects of Black Speech, these dialects were often referred to as&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Orkish. The Orcs were not a very literate group, so few examples of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; their writing exists today. Those few Orks that could write used the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Cirth alphabet. Tolkien included one example of written Black Speech&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in the book &quot;The Lord of the Rings&quot; - the Ring inscription. This&#xD;&#xA;&gt; inscription seems to be unique in that it uses the Tengwar alphabet.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Sauron apparently adapted the Tengwar script of Eregion for writing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for Black Speech.

Although the Black Speech and the Sindarin&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tengwar/Tehtar modes look similar to each other, they may use&#xD;&#xA;&gt; different Tengwar letters to represent the same sounds. This is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; particularly noticeable with the phonetic values assigned to the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tehtar marks used for the o and u sound, which are reversed.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Daniel Steven Smith: TengwarQuenya_Help, 10/FEB/2003, [http://chomikuj.pl/anuleczek88/r*c3*b3*c5*bcne/fonty+-+elficki/TengwarQuenya_Help,354460461.pdf][9])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the rhyme of &quot;bind&quot; and &quot;find&quot; also in Black Speech as noted by Mark S.

Discussions on TeX.sx are mostly focused on the actual source code or a [minimal working example][3] that produce the (un)desired result, and for this reason, inline rendering is not only unnecessary, it is actively harmful (when, for example, one would want to quote a command instead of show its result). I'm not even going to mention the implications this has on page loading speed -- try it on a slow machine with older browser on one of the more notation-heavy questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Contrast this with Physics.sx and Math.sx (and also Math Overflow) where the notation is absolutely critical to facilitating the discussion. Here on TeX.sx, the plain old source code is sufficient -- questions on aesthetics (although acceptable here) are much less frequent than those from the &quot;where's the problem in this code&quot; or &quot;how do I do X&quot; variety.

At the same time, we want to encourage new users to follow the correct Q&amp;A approach here. That shows up most commonly when a users posts an 'answer' to a question which is either a new question, is really a comment or does not really fully answer the question. Often, these 'non-answers' get flagged for moderation, and it's then up to the mod team to take appropriate action.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The approach that has been taken on TeX.sx to date in dealing with flagged questions is somewhat different from other parts of the StackExchange network. This became apparent after a [meta post](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1808/do-we-like-non-tex-sx-moderator-activity-on-the-main-site) and some [chat discussion](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/2065009#2065009) yesterday. It's therefore important to understand the two approaches, before considering whether we should modify what we do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The current TeX.sx approach works broadly as follows. When an answer is flagged, the moderators of course take a look at it. Assuming it falls into the 'non-answers' category I've outlined above, either a mod or some other 'involved' user leaves a message to the poster. These are usually modelled on those from the [building blocks](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/430/text-building-blocks) page, for example&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [Welcome to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; TeX.sx!](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1436/welcome-to-tex-sx)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Your question won't be seen by many people here so it would be best to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; repost it as a fresh question. Follow-up questions like this are more&#xD;&#xA;&gt; than welcome! Please use the &quot;Ask Question&quot; link for your new&#xD;&#xA;&gt; question; there you can link to this question to provide the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; background.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;or&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Instead of posting a “Thank you” as an additional answer, you should&#xD;&#xA;&gt; thank [user] by upvoting [his/her] answer (with the upward pointing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; arrow to the left of it; you need 15 reputation points before you can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; upvote) and accepting it (by clicking on the checkmark). We want to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; keep the answer space reserved for actual answers, so this non-answer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will be removed from public view soon.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The flag is then left 'on' as a bookmark, and the OP is given about a day to return to the site and make a change themselves. If after 24 h nothing has happened, then the mods do remove the item from public view, convert to a comment, or whatever seems most appropriate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The more general StackExchange model starts in the same way: see flag, look at 'answer', consider its status. The next step in the SE approach is again to leave a comment, but then to immediately remove the 'answer' from public view. The idea is that the user will still get a notification, _via_ the global inbox, of the comment, but that this will be (almost) a private message as the only people who can see the comment will be +10k users. As well as avoiding any look of 'criticism' in public, the idea is that this approach scales to very large numbers of issues.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So what I'd like to invite as answers here is views on the relative merits of the two approaches, in particular _seen from the POV of a new user_."

Martin's [ctanhg][1] solves the problem of archiving (it doesn't solve the original problem, but at least points to the right direction).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But I'm writing because of the second issue. It seems to me that TeX.SX reputation scheme could easily be used for tagging and rating TeX packages in the same way as questions are rated. I'm not trying to say that coding it would be trivial, but it would probably be the first useful attempt in history trying to rate packages. I would like to see a new subdomain packages.tex.stackexchange.com, listing all of CTAN packages, with the following functionality:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Each user with sufficient rights may vote up or down. Maybe number of stars is more appropriate, but then it is difficult to tell what exactly two stars mean. I would like the number of votes to reflect popularity on one hand. If two people give five stars, this only tells you that the package is not really popular. Maybe 1 point for &quot;useful&quot;, 5 points for &quot;excellent&quot;, -1 for &quot;bad&quot; and -10 for &quot;very very bad&quot;. If package authors have an account on TeX.SX and if the association is made, they should be granted points from their packages to their reputation on SX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Maybe more than a single category for voting is needed. I would like to vote on:&#xD;&#xA;  - Is package maintained? Is it up-to-date? (Does it work with XeLaTeX for example?)&#xD;&#xA;  - How buggy is it? What is the overall code quality and documentation?&#xD;&#xA;  - How important is it? (TikZ or babel are highly important, but babel is not maintaned.)&#xD;&#xA; - Ability for adding &quot;See Also&quot; with comments/reasons why.&#xD;&#xA;  - For example: even though PSTricks is still an excellent package, one could suggest users to take TikZ instead if starting from scratch.&#xD;&#xA;  - bib package for ConTeXt and biblatex (&amp; friends) for LaTeX: each one serving a different purpose (one is not a replacement for the other), but still tightly related.&#xD;&#xA; - Space for general comments. (With high reputation users being able to edit, as usual.)&#xD;&#xA; - Some kind of wiki to enable community-driven descriptions of packages. Some packages on CTAN miss descriptions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why all that? TeX Live gains a few hundreds of megabytes of extra packages each year with basically zero feedback about their usefulness and popularity. Packages are taken into distribution with zero quality control and once they are in, everyone is afraid to remove them since somebody might be already using that package. With some honest feedback, this would help us make a clear picture of current package status. It would also make it easier for new users to find the packages they are looking for. CTAN offers catalogue with categories, but doesn't show you feedback: for example why some particular package did or did not solve a particular problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If all package descriptions would be hosted on SX, this would also answer the questions of [Automatic links to the CTAN catalogue][2].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Feel free to edit my post.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://ctanhg.scharrer-online.de/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/73/automatic-links-to-the-ctan-catalogue" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In proper typesetting, **these should be dashes**, either En Dashes (U+02013) &quot;–&quot; or Em Dashes (U+02014) &quot;—&quot;. As I would say we're a community who cares about such details and who thus ought to be a role model for them, **I'd appreciate to see that changed**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The difference between these three characters is directly reflected in (La)TeX by three distinct inputs, `-` (Hyphen-minus), `--` (En Dash), and `---` (Em Dash). A similar issue has been discussed at https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/547/new-user-greeting, which now uses an Em Dash:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Welcome to Q&amp;A for users of TeX, LaTeX, ConTeXt, and related typesetting systems — check out the FAQ!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm not a big fan of the Em Dash, I think it interrupts text flow too strongly; nonetheless we should use dashes uniformly. Has anybody seen any other _proper_ dashes around that would have to be adapted similarly?

So is this a bad thing? I really don't think so. This is one of the reasons why I stopped (or even canceled accounts) spending time on other SX sites just because of this *justice in the name of rep points* attitude.

We are now going to reset our Community Promotion Ads for the new year.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### What are Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - scripts packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The question must always be tagged with the magic [meta-tag:community-ads] tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Image requirements&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The image that you create must be **220 x 250 pixels**&#xD;&#xA; - Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)&#xD;&#xA; - Must be GIF or PNG&#xD;&#xA; - No animated GIFs&#xD;&#xA; - Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Score Threshold&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a **minimum score threshold** an answer must meet (currently **6**) before it will be shown on the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats [here][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/ads/display/2956" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is similar to writing &quot;Γρεεκ λεττερς&quot; with Greek letters but using English language (in Latin letters: &quot;Greek letters&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;Black Speech was the language created by Sauron for his servants in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Mordor. Over the centuries many of the Orcs developed their own&#xD;&#xA;&gt; dialects of Black Speech, these dialects were often referred to as&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Orkish. The Orcs were not a very literate group, so few examples of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; their writing exists today. Those few Orks that could write used the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Cirth alphabet. Tolkien included one example of written Black Speech&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in the book &quot;The Lord of the Rings&quot; - the Ring inscription. This&#xD;&#xA;&gt; inscription seems to be unique in that it uses the Tengwar alphabet.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Sauron apparently adapted the Tengwar script of Eregion for writing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for Black Speech. […] Writing Black Speech with Tengwar: The rules for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; writing Black Speech with Tengwar is similar to the Sindarin&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tengwar/Tehtar Mode. Although the Black Speech and the Sindarin&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tengwar/Tehtar modes look similar to each other, they may use&#xD;&#xA;&gt; different Tengwar letters to represent the same sounds. This is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; particularly noticeable with the phonetic values assigned to the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tehtar marks used for the o and u sound, which are reversed.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Daniel Steven Smith: TengwarQuenya_Help, 10/FEB/2003, [http://chomikuj.pl/anuleczek88/r*c3*b3*c5*bcne/fonty+-+elficki/TengwarQuenya_Help,354460461.pdf][9])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the rhyme of &quot;bind&quot; and &quot;find&quot; also in Black Speech as noted by Mark S.

Images uploaded in that way will be linked permanently to the site by imgur.com.  Other image links should not be used.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to format a question / answer? (Keep it simple KISS principle, or &quot;when are headlines welcome&quot;?)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Compose a question containing relevant keywords so it may be found through the search engine. Ask a limited question and format your [minimal working example (MWE)](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/228/) as preformatted text by marking it and hitting the &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt; keys.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Short answers need not be formatted other than including code as preformatted text. If you answer a multipart question, quote the part you are referring to by prepending it with &quot;\&gt;&quot; characters. If your answer to a single short question contains multiple components, sparingly use headlines of the form \#\#\# Sample Headline \#\#\#.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Exactly what makes a helpful comment and what makes an answer? I feel many users err on the side of politeness and choose to comment,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which may or may not be a good thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Erring on the side of politeness is our specialty. :) I think that many of us leave comments rather than answers if the question isn't entirely clear. If the comment turns out to be on the right track, it can be easily turned into an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - I noticed some of my &quot;common courtesies&quot; edited away. I have seen that it is not customary to comment with &quot;thank you&quot; unless adding&#xD;&#xA;&gt; something &quot;useful&quot; and that extended back-and-forth commenting with a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; single user triggers a proposal to move the discussion to a chat. I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; believe this stems from the &quot;wiki&quot; philosophy of making this site a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; compendium of knowledge useful to future readers. I am still unsure of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; how, and what to write if I feel the impulse to.  Can a discussion of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; best practices be included in [the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; FAQ](http://tex.stackexchange.com/faq &quot;main site FAQ, not meta FAQ&quot;)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think you've captured the spirit of the site exactly.  The switch to chat is automatically suggested by the site after some number of back and forth comments. Thanks comments can be appreciated, but usually accepting an answer and upvoting it is enough. I don't think we actively discourage thanks comments if the answer seemed especially helpful to you. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/BiaNc.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/PfupO.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Oo9oP.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

These &quot;janitorial sessions&quot; are there to refocus from the perpetual incentive to answer the next, new (perhaps easy) question, while older (perhaps more difficult) questions tend to be left unanswered and turn stale.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another reason here is that some answers may *never* receive successful answers, while others are just too general to provide an effective answer. Even a recent discussion on meta.TeX.SE (see [Should I self answer my question?](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2667/5764)) discussed whether specific answers to a general question should be answered in &quot;combined form&quot; to provide a definitive &quot;answer to the original question&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While yours most likely did not fall in any of these categories, [comments](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/64238/underfull-hbox-and-underfull-vbox#comment136685_64238) suggest that there was not enough detail to adequately answer the question. As such, it was brought up during [the most recent &quot;Answer the unanswered&quot; sessions in chat](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/5641215#5641215), where [your question](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/5641462#5641462) was mentioned as perhaps being [too localized/TL](http://tex.stackexchange.com/faq#close).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your comment rebuttals suggest there was no need to supply a so-called [minimal working example (MWE)](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/228/5764). However, this is a general misconception when it comes to answering questions on the Stack Exchange network. Not only are there a myriad of solutions to the warning &quot;Underfull `\hbox`&quot; (see [No line here to end](http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=noline) for one cause) and/or &quot;Underfull `\vbox`&quot;, you are after solving a *specific* instance of this warning. This could depend on the code that you use, the document class that you use, the structure of the code that precedes that actual warning, or perhaps something different altogether (like TeX's line-breaking routine).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a questioner you should *try* to put yourself in the shoes of the possible answerer in order to have the best shot at finding an optimal solution. That is why we usually push questioners to &quot;provide an MWE that reproduces the problem.&quot; This requires you (the questioner) to provide *as much information as possible* so that an *answerer* can reproduce the problem (independent of the questioner), isolate what causes it, address possible alternatives and provide a solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, if confidentiality is at play, 100% reproduction is very difficult. However, if the question is left in this general or even specific, open-ended setting, with no reproducibility, and it turns stale, it is most likely destined for closure as being &quot;too localized&quot; by definition:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As an example, the generality of your question may just as well have been solved by (to name a few when [searching for &quot;underfull vbox&quot;](http://tex.stackexchange.com/search?q=undefull+vbox)):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [What are underfull `\hbox`es and `\vbox`es and how can I get rid of them?](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/138/5764)&#xD;&#xA;- [Underfull `\vbox`](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/46815/5764)&#xD;&#xA;- [How to suppress “Underfull `\vbox` (badness 10000) … while `\output` is active”?](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/62296/5764)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But without knowing more detail, a solution provided at the above links might have helped, or not."

To best serve the community of people using Tex-based documentation, the site should be able to answer questions about the rendering of Postscript specials in a DVI viewer, how to view the hinting in a font, how PDF tagging might affect searching for text in an output document, or how to make an editor fit a particular authoring workflow.  Ultimately, we should not be interpreting relevance in a narrow way that means we are sending away questions that are good for the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In this particular case, there are two reasons to think this question is a good fit for us:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The example text is a Latex document, so it is from our community; and&#xD;&#xA;2. Spell checking is not just about the natural language contents of documents, but also the markup they contain.  It seems quite likely that the manner in which some particular Emacs spellchecker detexifies the documents, is something to do with the problem the questioner has.  So it is quite plausible that the solution to the problem will rely on Tex-related expertise, namely how a particular heuristic for parsing Latex works.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I think this question passes the relevance test on two fronts: it is relevant to preparing Latex documents, and it appeals to expertise that we have.  The usually more important criteria for closing relate to whether the question is, regardless of topic, asked in a way that attracts satisfactory answers - it is clear enough in that respect.  So I think it should be reopened.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Cf. the less than perfectly conclusive discussion at https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/507/is-troff-groff-a-friend-of-tex" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It is intended to be concise and hands-on, but digestible rather than exhaustive. Suggestions for improvement welcome!*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are some strategies for reducing your code, which will help you get better and faster answers, since it will be clearer what your problem is and the other users will see that you put some effort into producing a concise Minimal Working Example. Thanks for that!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most likely, not all of these things will apply to your question, so just pick what does apply. However, it is advised that you provide the community with something that will reproduce the problem in the easiest way possible. Typically this requires code that starts with `\documentclass` and ends with `\end{document}` (if using LaTeX). It will allow readers to copy-and-paste-and-compile your code and see exactly what problems you might be experiencing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What follows below are snippets of code; **bad** references imply that it should typically not be used, as it may not be part of the problem, while **good** references make suggestions that should be used instead.

(If you should later find out that another package is complicating the situation, you can always ask another question or edit the existing question.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In most cases, even packages like `inputenc` or `fontenc` are not necessary in MWEs, even though they are essential for many non-English documents in “real” documents.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Images&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{graphs/dataset17b.pdf}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[demo]{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    ....&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{graphs/dataset17b.pdf}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{mwe} % just for dummy images&#xD;&#xA;    ....&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{example-image}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your problem includes **an image**? Does your problem show up with any image? Then use the **option `demo`** for the package `graphicx` – this way, other users who don’t have your image file won’t get an error message because of that. If you prefer an actual image that you can rotate, stretch, etc., use the **[`mwe`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/mwe) package**, which provides a number of dummy images, named e.g. `example-image`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Text&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    In \cite{cite:0}, it is shown that $\Delta \subset {U_{\mathcal{{D}}}}$. Hence &#xD;&#xA;    Y. Q. Qian's characterization of conditionally uncountable elements was a &#xD;&#xA;    milestone in constructive algebra. Now it has long been known that there exists &#xD;&#xA;    an almost everywhere Clifford right-canonically pseudo-integrable, Clairaut &#xD;&#xA;    subset \cite{cite:0}. The groundbreaking work of J. Davis on isomorphisms was a &#xD;&#xA;    major advance. In future work, we plan to address questions of uniqueness as &#xD;&#xA;    well as degeneracy. Thus in \cite{cite:0}, the main result was the &#xD;&#xA;    classification of meromorphic, completely left-invariant systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{lipsum} % just for dummy text&#xD;&#xA;    ...&#xD;&#xA;    \lipsum[1-3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Foo bar baz.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need a **few paragraphs of text** to demonstrate your problem?

Use a maximally simple entry embedded in a **`filecontents` environment** in the preamble. During the compilation, this will create a .bib file in the same directory as the `.tex` file, so users compiling your code only need to save one file by themselves.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another option for `biblatex` would be to use the file [`biblatex-examples.bib`][1], which should be installed with `biblatex` by default.

These &quot;janitorial sessions&quot; are there to refocus from the perpetual incentive to answer the next, new (perhaps easy) question, while older (perhaps more difficult) questions tend to be left unanswered and turn stale.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another reason here is that some answers may *never* receive successful answers, while others are just too general to provide an effective answer. Even a recent discussion on meta.TeX.SE (see [Should I self answer my question?](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2667/5764)) discussed whether specific answers to a general question should be answered in &quot;combined form&quot; to provide a definitive &quot;answer to the original question&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While yours most likely did not fall in any of these categories, [comments](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/64238/underfull-hbox-and-underfull-vbox#comment136685_64238) suggest that there was not enough detail to adequately answer the question. As such, it was brought up during [the most recent &quot;Answer the unanswered&quot; sessions in chat](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/5641215#5641215), where [your question](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/5641462#5641462) was mentioned as perhaps being [too localized/TL](http://tex.stackexchange.com/faq#close).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your comment rebuttals suggest there was no need to supply a so-called [minimal working example (MWE)](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/228/5764). However, this is a general misconception when it comes to answering questions on the Stack Exchange network. Not only are there a myriad of solutions to the warning &quot;Underfull `\hbox`&quot; (see [No line here to end](http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=noline) for one cause) and/or &quot;Underfull `\vbox`&quot;, you are after solving a *specific* instance of this warning. This could depend on the code that you use, the document class that you use, the structure of the code that precedes that actual warning, or perhaps something different altogether (like TeX's line-breaking routine).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a questioner you should *try* to put yourself in the shoes of the possible answerer in order to have the best shot at finding an optimal solution. That is why we usually push questioners to &quot;provide an MWE that reproduces the problem.&quot; This requires you (the questioner) to provide *as much information as possible* so that an *answerer* can reproduce the problem (independent of the questioner), isolate what causes it, address possible alternatives and provide a solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, if confidentiality is at play, 100% reproduction is very difficult. However, if the question is left in this general or even specific, open-ended setting, with no reproducibility, and it turns stale, it is most likely destined for closure as being &quot;too localized&quot; by definition:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As an example, the generality of your question may just as well have been solved by (to name a few when [searching for &quot;underfull vbox&quot;](http://tex.stackexchange.com/search?q=undefull+vbox)):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [What are underfull `\hbox`es and `\vbox`es and how can I get rid of them?](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/138/5764)&#xD;&#xA;- [Underfull `\vbox`](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/46815/5764)&#xD;&#xA;- [How to suppress “Underfull `\vbox` (badness 10000) … while `\output` is active”?](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/62296/5764)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But without knowing more detail, a solution provided at the above links might have helped, or not."

I recognize the sentiment brought forward. I would like to add the following thoughts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, I think questions should be asked no matter how &quot;simple&quot; they are since users have very varied backgrounds. As I stated in a [different discussion][1] I also think that the site can be a very valuable platform for incresing knowledge and also attract new users to LaTeX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem with some questions is that they can be solved by a simple search. I therefore think that any person posting a question should have given it some effort and perhaps there should be an addition to the FAQ indicating a few good web sources for basic information (such as for example lshort and the LaTeX Wikibook). I know this is stated but perhaps not as clearly as needed in the system. There is of course not possible to still weed out those who have no intention to search for an answer but just want the answer served. I think that is something one has to accept.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another aspect is that what is difficult for one may be simple for someone else, particularly for beginners.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think one problem for a site such as this, where we all get educated by the excellent answers provided by the peers, is that as we all get more and more educated it becomes easier to discard more and more questions as too simple. Add to that the problem that they are likely may have been asked already. So they key question is then how to best manage the &quot;simpler&quot; questions from the perspective of the person asking.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/84/how-elitist-should-the-site-be" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If he makes it clear that he wants a (say) tikz answer, I would think twice before even considering to post a non-tikz answer. On the other hand, I see that this site is also about building a knowledge base. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These goals are in conflict: a knowledge base is best if it has lots of different points of view whereas the OP often has a specific goal what he intents to do with the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One examples which always comes to my mind is that the OP might have a huge document which is built with a specific package - and for reasons of consistency and learning time etc etc, he might want to avoid to use / learn / evaluate a new package which is unrelated to his previous attempts. After all, it is always easier to make incremental changes rather than beginning again from scratch and maintaining two worlds. To be honest, I would feel as if some answerer did not take me seriously if I receive an answer which is not an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This question is largely motivated by the fact that I stumbled over two related meta questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3408/downvoting-answers-exploiting-different-approaches-with-respect-to-the-initial-q?cb=1&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-&gt; here, the OP downvoted an answer for which he felt... well, perhaps he felt offended. I can understand him as the &quot;offending&quot; answers are unrelated to his question. If I where him, I would probably try to ignore the answers. Or would I downvote them? I am unsure. Perhaps I would (had I not read this meta question).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/3434/1537&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Both touch the topic, although their point is not to archieve a best-practise, but to deal with the symptoms. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, back to the discussion: what should be(come) the best practise for answers which are not answers to the OP, but parts of building a knowledge base? Should these answers be marked in a special way such that the OP does not feel offended? Should the question be retagged such that a pstricks answer to a tikz question can be found by the search? I am sure that we would want to have the highest possible quality for the cross-references. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Would this mean that, for example &quot;tikz / pstricks /metapost&quot; are actually kind of aliases to the same tag (!?)&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So is this a bad thing? I really don't think so.

It's a very friendly place, where we talk about virtually everything - even TeX, sometimes! I decided to give it a try and add a few &quot;extra features&quot; to our chatroom, and the result is presented in this meta thread.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I was planning to implement a bot and find a way to wrap it into the SE infrastructure. Thankfully, there is already a project from [Zirak](http://stackoverflow.com/users/617762/zirak) named [SO-ChatBot](https://github.com/Zirak/SO-ChatBot), a bot written in JavaScript which runs in one's browser session. I played with it a little and decided to tweak it (apart from my lack of JS skills) in order to make it more TeXy. The result is *Psmith*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Introduction&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Psmith* is a SO chatroom bot based on Zirak's original code which runs under my credentials and within my browser session. If I'm not in the room or if I didn't deliberately trigger the startup script, the bot won't respond. I'm in charge of the bot's execution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The name&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We first thought of Jeeves, but it's taken. Then our next attempt was with Wooster, but it wasn't catchy enough. I thought of Jarvis, but it's too Stark-based. `:)` Then Andrew suggested [Psmith](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psmith), and we all approved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Available commands&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our bot recognizes the following commands:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/answer question`: an experimental command where the bot tries to actually answer your question. The database is still tiny, we are working on it.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/basketball`: fetches the last news from basketball and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/battle`: displays and compares the daily reputations of the titans, egreg and David Carlisle.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/choose opt1, opt2, ... , optn`: chooses one of the elements from the given comma-separated list.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/cricket`: fetches the last news from cricket and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/ctan`: displays the last entries available in the official CTAN announcement RSS feed.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/eightball question`: replies the question with a `yes/no` answer.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/fencing`: fetches the last news from fencing and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help`: displays the general help.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help command`: displays the help related to the specific `command` commands.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/list`: lists all the bot's commands.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/reputation userid`: displays the reputation of the user whose id is `userid`&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/song`: list the song _Psmith_'s master, [Paulo](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/3094/paulo-cereda), is currently listening to.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/texdef arguments`: runs Martin Scharrer's amazing [`texdef`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/texdef) tool on the provided parameters.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/translate from lang1 to lang2 text`: translates `text` from `lang1` to `lang2`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Potential issues&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This bot replies under my name, with the **Psmith, the TeX bot** prefix. Most of the commands are asynchronous, so the bot might take a while to answer. If too many requests are made, the bot might flood the chat and I get suspended for spam. `:)` So, take it easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why am I posting this text?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/116589/are-bots-specifically-allowed-or-prohibited-in-stack-exchange-chatrooms&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [...] Finally, a bot will be held against abuse standards just like any other user. If it &quot;behaves&quot; inappropriately, we're not going to like that. This holds both as far as the actual chatting (content/flooding) goes, as well as considering communication with the server (if you poll the server for new messages every 50ms, that's going to get you banned pretty quickly).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; That said, we're all programmers here, and this is the kind of &quot;exercise&quot; we like. So we'll probably not come after you with pitchforks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; But just to make it clear: We can, at any time and with or without any reason, say &quot;We don't want that anymore; turn it off now.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't leave the bot unsupervised, at least for long periods of time. That said, I'm in the chatroom almost 24h/day, and I monitor the bot's activities and replies. I can shutdown the little rascal if needed, at any time and moment. Every command is triggered at my side of the connection, in my machine, including `texdef` running on my TeX distro. In other words, the JS script adds hooks to the messages, intercepts certain patterns and then forwards requests to my local machine for processing. Then, the reply happens as if I were typing that message.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As [balpha](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/115866) said in his reply, it's a good exercise. `:)` Let's see how it goes.

If we make judgement calls per post, each person who doesn't like the decision can post these repeat type of questions since they will all be about a different post and thus not a duplicate because the previous post in question were in relation to a different thread.

It's a very friendly place, where we talk about virtually everything - even TeX, sometimes! I decided to give it a try and add a few &quot;extra features&quot; to our chatroom, and the result is presented in this meta thread.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I was planning to implement a bot and find a way to wrap it into the SE infrastructure. Thankfully, there is already a project from [Zirak](http://stackoverflow.com/users/617762/zirak) named [SO-ChatBot](https://github.com/Zirak/SO-ChatBot), a bot written in JavaScript which runs in one's browser session. I played with it a little and decided to tweak it (apart from my lack of JS skills) in order to make it more TeXy. The result is *Psmith*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Introduction&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Psmith* is a SO chatroom bot based on Zirak's original code which runs under my credentials and within my browser session. If I'm not in the room or if I didn't deliberately trigger the startup script, the bot won't respond. I'm in charge of the bot's execution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The name&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We first thought of Jeeves, but it's taken. Then our next attempt was with Wooster, but it wasn't catchy enough. I thought of Jarvis, but it's too Stark-based. `:)` Then Andrew suggested [Psmith](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psmith), and we all approved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Available commands&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our bot recognizes the following commands:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/answer question`: an experimental command where the bot tries to actually answer your question. The database is still tiny, we are working on it.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/basketball`: fetches the last news from basketball and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/battle`: displays and compares the daily reputations of the titans, egreg and David Carlisle.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/choose opt1, opt2, ... , optn`: chooses one of the elements from the given comma-separated list.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/cricket`: fetches the last news from cricket and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/ctan`: displays the last entries available in the official CTAN announcement RSS feed.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/eightball question`: replies the question with a `yes/no` answer.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/fencing`: fetches the last news from fencing and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help`: displays the general help.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help command`: displays the help related to the specific `command` commands.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/list`: lists all the bot's commands.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/reputation userid`: displays the reputation of the user whose id is `userid`&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/song`: list the song _Psmith_'s master, [Paulo](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/3094/paulo-cereda), is currently listening to.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/texdef arguments`: runs Martin Scharrer's amazing [`texdef`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/texdef) tool on the provided parameters.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/translate from lang1 to lang2 text`: translates `text` from `lang1` to `lang2`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Potential issues&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This bot replies under my name, with the **Psmith, the TeX bot** prefix. Most of the commands are asynchronous, so the bot might take a while to answer. If too many requests are made, the bot might flood the chat and I get suspended for spam. `:)` So, take it easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why am I posting this text?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/116589/are-bots-specifically-allowed-or-prohibited-in-stack-exchange-chatrooms&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [...] Finally, a bot will be held against abuse standards just like any other user. If it &quot;behaves&quot; inappropriately, we're not going to like that. This holds both as far as the actual chatting (content/flooding) goes, as well as considering communication with the server (if you poll the server for new messages every 50ms, that's going to get you banned pretty quickly).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; That said, we're all programmers here, and this is the kind of &quot;exercise&quot; we like. So we'll probably not come after you with pitchforks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; But just to make it clear: We can, at any time and with or without any reason, say &quot;We don't want that anymore; turn it off now.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't leave the bot unsupervised, at least for long periods of time. That said, I'm in the chatroom almost 24h/day, and I monitor the bot's activities and replies. I can shutdown the little rascal if needed, at any time and moment. Every command is triggered at my side of the connection, in my machine, including `texdef` running on my TeX distro. In other words, the JS script adds hooks to the messages, intercepts certain patterns and then forwards requests to my local machine for processing. Then, the reply happens as if I were typing that message.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As [balpha](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/115866) said in his reply, it's a good exercise. `:)` Let's see how it goes. If the SO team thinks this is a terrible idea or if it opens a dangerous precedent, by all means, let me know. I can easily shutdown everything, by simply closing my browser. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By the way, thanks to [Aarthi](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/165582) for being so kind in helping me with the procedures to announce the bot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks a lot. `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

By &quot;trivial&quot;, I mean they don't require more insight than to &quot;look in the manual&quot;. These usually aren't good candidates for a Q/A site, because they can easily create a flood of almost-duplicate questions, none of these helping any future user.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A good solution in some cases is to create a generic question, making all those real duplicates of that generic question. However, it is not always possible, and even when it is, I understand this site doesn't wish to become a parallel manual for common packages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before I mention the question I have in mind, disclaimer : &quot;it's in the manual&quot; isn't always an useful answer, because some manuals are more helpful than others, provide more examples, etc. But in that case, we should expect the asker to show that he has browsed the manual, and even if possible, to show the exact part he doesn't understand.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's the same idea as on forums, &quot;google is your friend&quot;: sometimes finding appropriate keywords for a google query is a problem by itself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But once we took care of these problems, some &quot;really trivial&quot; questions remain : the example I have in mind is [this recent question][1]. As you can see, the needed work from the question's code snippet to a real answer is... very small.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I voted to close this question as &quot;too localized&quot;, but I was really unsure: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - in some sense it could be a duplicate of a more general question about tikz styles (however, I couldn't find any such duplicate, so that settles it)&#xD;&#xA; - in some sense it's not a real question... because it's hard to know what is asked, what the OP misses to transform his code to an actual answer &#xD;&#xA; - in some sense it's indeed too localized, because the *answer* won't probably help anybody (but the *question* could!)&#xD;&#xA; - and finally, don't forget that maybe the asker really wants to learn something, probably that &quot;trivial&quot; point he is missing in his code (maybe the fact that &quot;rectangle&quot; is the default shape?)... in which case the question should be kept open.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;More specifically, about the &quot;too localized&quot; flag, since it is the one which &quot;won&quot;, when I read its description:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can't say how it applies to the question: it is neither specific to a localization or a time-frame, and the problem isn't particularly &quot;extraordinary narrow&quot;. However, once again, we can't really make the &quot;Duplicate&quot; or &quot;Not a real question&quot; descriptions fit there either, in my opinion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So my question is : should such questions be left open by default?

One worries a bit about Stellar Question, though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3471/notable-question-badge was the subject of a recent question whose poser I unexpectedly satisfied with the observation (apparently shared by Joseph Wright) that the badge requirements are likely calibrated for Stack Overflow and then applied network-wide.  This makes some of them wildly inappropriate here, Tenacious being probably the best example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is a list of the most unbalanced badges:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Epic: there isn't nearly enough reputation going around for it to be merely a &quot;silver&quot; achievement to hit the rep cap 50 times.  Perhaps 25 is better? Though the name is apt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Legendary: granted, it's gold, but compared to other gold badges it's way under-awarded.  Perhaps the cutoff should be 100 times, rather than 150?  Again, going by who *do* have it, the name is apt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Reversal: I am honestly surprised there are *any* awarded.  It's very rare for people to use downvotes in significant numbers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Stellar question: Stars just aren't as common here.  Again, gold badge, but there are only seven awarded.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Tenacious: there are none, and there will never be any since questions get too much time on the front page to flash by and be noticed only by the poser.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Unsung hero: the same, but the gold version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm ignoring bronze badges and anything that rewards something you can do all by yourself.  These are badges that are under-awarded because of the social structure of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My question is whether this pattern means that these badges have inappropriate criteria, or that they measure something this site simply doesn't have.  I know that asking anything about badges is certain to get the high-minded reply that &quot;we don't care about badges; they're just for fun&quot;, but honestly, I care.  It's a good way of noting what I've been contributing to the site in a more granular way than simply that I *have* been contributing insofar as I've been collecting reputation.

It seems to be intended to be a sort of spiritual successor to TeX, and my impression is that a lot of what happens under the hood is a reworking of TeX. It uses the TeX fonts, it uses BibTeX for bibliography management, it appears (to me, an outsider) to use a typesetting model based on TeX, and it can be used to generate TeX output.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It belongs to one of the outer circles of the TeX community along with software like Asymptote, Biber, LyX, MetaPost, the TikZ output module in Geogebra etc. Therefore, **I think questions about it are acceptable on this site**. This is especially so if the questions are about typesetting and document setup, since the answers to such questions can be just as useful for users of TeX. However, other questions are welcome, too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As [Joseph Wright][1] (who appears not to agree with me in this case, however) remarks, questions about TeX have a certain spirit to them, different from those at StackOverflow: They are usually focused on good typesetting and document setup combined with a bit of simple programming. This is entirely equivalent to how questions about TeXmacs are likely to look, or questions about any other (semi-)code-based self-contained typesetting system. In the long run, as these typesetting systems gain more success, it should perhaps be considered changing TeX.SE into an SE with a more broad focus on technical typesetting. After all, because of dominant position of TeX in this area, it is very hard to start talking about technical typesetting at all without somehow getting TeX involved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/6174/19809" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's purely a stylistic question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, the answers that were given before closure actually do (some of them) address a TeX means of dealing with the underlying issue, but on-topic answers don't make the question on-topic, just as novel answers don't make a duplicate question unique (if I recall this is a current topic too).  This aspect of the nature of the question makes it something of an [XY problem](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2449/575), with the added twist that Y is off-topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another connection is with the [similar problem with MathJaX](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/272/575), where several answers agree that at least a significant part of that genre of question is off-topic, and moreover is explicitly on-topic elsewhere.  MathJaX questions are arguable in the same way, in that even installation and troubleshooting questions (as discussed by Martin Scharrer's answer) are analogous to such questions about installing and troubleshooting a TeX distribution that *are* on topic here...but when applied to MathJaX they are not, because the tool is fundamentally *not* TeX even if it accepts some TeX code.  And likewise here, the mathematical style question is fundamentally *not* TeX, even if it admits some TeX solutions (that may not even be appropriate!  What if it's a journal or university style?).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think the usual thing that's done for questions like this is to ask the q'ner to refine their post to the point that it is on-topic, specific, and answerable to their satisfaction.  However, what if their question *really is* &quot;should I use two notations for sets?&quot;; in that case, I think that it *really belongs* on a math forum because it's *really not* a TeX question, even if by virtue of being a typographic language TeX sometimes has opinions about matters of style."

As such, we can now restart the Community Promotion Ads for 2016!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keep in mind, we have updated some of the guidelines compared to previously - the changes are marked in bold in the Image Requirements section.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### What are Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - scripts packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The question must always be tagged with the magic [meta-tag:community-ads] tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Image requirements&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The image that you create must be **300 x 250 pixels**, or double that if high DPI.&#xD;&#xA; - Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)&#xD;&#xA; - Must be GIF or PNG&#xD;&#xA; - No animated GIFs&#xD;&#xA; - Absolute limit on file size of **150 kB**&#xD;&#xA; - **If the background of the image is white or partially white, there must be a 1px border (2px if high DPI) surrounding it.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Score Threshold&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a **minimum score threshold** an answer must meet (currently **6**) before it will be shown on the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats [here][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/ads/display/6473" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I recognize the sentiment brought forward. I would like to add the following thoughts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, I think questions should be asked no matter how &quot;simple&quot; they are since users have very varied backgrounds. As I stated in a [different discussion][1] I also think that the site can be a very valuable platform for incresing knowledge and also attract new users to LaTeX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem with some questions is that they can be solved by a simple search. I therefore think that any person posting a question should have given it some effort and perhaps there should be an addition to the FAQ indicating a few good web sources for basic information (such as for example lshort and the LaTeX Wikibook). I know this is stated but perhaps not as clearly as needed in the system. There is of course not possible to still weed out those who have no intention to search for an answer but just want the answer served. I think that is something one has to accept.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another aspect is that what is difficult for one may be simple for someone else, particularly for beginners.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think one problem for a site such as this, where we all get educated by the excellent answers provided by the peers, is that as we all get more and more educated it becomes easier to discard more and more questions as too simple. Add to that the problem that they are likely may have been asked already. So they key question is then how to best manage the &quot;simpler&quot; questions from the perspective of the person asking.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/84/how-elitist-should-the-site-be" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

One worries a bit about Stellar Question, though.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3471/notable-question-badge was the subject of a recent question whose poser I unexpectedly satisfied with the observation (apparently shared by Joseph Wright) that the badge requirements are likely calibrated for Stack Overflow and then applied network-wide.  This makes some of them wildly inappropriate here, Tenacious being probably the best example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is a list of the most unbalanced badges:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Epic: there isn't nearly enough reputation going around for it to be merely a &quot;silver&quot; achievement to hit the rep cap 50 times.  Perhaps 25 is better? Though the name is apt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Legendary: granted, it's gold, but compared to other gold badges it's way under-awarded.  Perhaps the cutoff should be 100 times, rather than 150?  Again, going by who *do* have it, the name is apt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Reversal: I am honestly surprised there are *any* awarded.  It's very rare for people to use downvotes in significant numbers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Stellar question: Stars just aren't as common here.  Again, gold badge, but there are only seven awarded.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Tenacious: there are none, and there will never be any since questions get too much time on the front page to flash by and be noticed only by the poser.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Unsung hero: the same, but the gold version.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm ignoring bronze badges and anything that rewards something you can do all by yourself.  These are badges that are under-awarded because of the social structure of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My question is whether this pattern means that these badges have inappropriate criteria, or that they measure something this site simply doesn't have.  I know that asking anything about badges is certain to get the high-minded reply that &quot;we don't care about badges; they're just for fun&quot;, but honestly, I care.  It's a good way of noting what I've been contributing to the site in a more granular way than simply that I *have* been contributing insofar as I've been collecting reputation.

The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - script packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The question must always be tagged with the magic [meta-tag:community-ads] tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Image requirements&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The image that you create must be 300 x 250 pixels, or double that if high DPI.&#xD;&#xA; - Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)&#xD;&#xA; - Must be GIF or PNG&#xD;&#xA; - No animated GIFs&#xD;&#xA; - Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB&#xD;&#xA; - If the background of the image is white or partially white, there must be a 1px border (2px if high DPI) surrounding it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Score Threshold&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a **minimum score threshold** an answer must meet (currently **6**) before it will be shown on the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats [here][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/ads/display/7182" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As you can see, the needed work from the question's code snippet to a real answer is... very small.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I voted to close this question as &quot;too localized&quot;, but I was really unsure: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - in some sense it could be a duplicate of a more general question about tikz styles (however, I couldn't find any such duplicate, so that settles it)&#xD;&#xA; - in some sense it's not a real question... because it's hard to know what is asked, what the OP misses to transform his code to an actual answer &#xD;&#xA; - in some sense it's indeed too localized, because the *answer* won't probably help anybody (but the *question* could!)&#xD;&#xA; - and finally, don't forget that maybe the asker really wants to learn something, probably that &quot;trivial&quot; point he is missing in his code (maybe the fact that &quot;rectangle&quot; is the default shape?)... in which case the question should be kept open.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;More specifically, about the &quot;too localized&quot; flag, since it is the one which &quot;won&quot;, when I read its description:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can't say how it applies to the question: it is neither specific to a localization or a time-frame, and the problem isn't particularly &quot;extraordinary narrow&quot;. However, once again, we can't really make the &quot;Duplicate&quot; or &quot;Not a real question&quot; descriptions fit there either, in my opinion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So my question is : should such questions be left open by default? Or what is the appropriate closing reason to choose? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Related questions on meta ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - About &quot;trivial&quot; questions : https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/84/how-elitist-should-the-site-be&#xD;&#xA; - About questions requiring work instead of knowledge : https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2763/just-do-it-for-me-text-building-block&#xD;&#xA; - And I think I already read a question about &quot;answers that are essentially in the manual&quot;, but I can't find it again, sorry.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/99045/how-to-create-a-tikzset-style-for-a-rectangle" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It has grammar/syntax rules.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And as such, a small complete document starts with a&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;uses some packages (most probably), say &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{amsmath}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{hyperref}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;and eventually some other *preamble* commands (omitted here).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally the true document code, beginning (sic!) and ending with&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;      % Some content in between.&#xD;&#xA;    \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This `*.tex` file should reproduce the **error** or the **efforts** what has done so far, not more and not less. This means, that all unnecessary code has to be omitted (preferably) or at least commented out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, if your problem has nothing do with &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - mathematical markup --&gt; drop all packages concerning math (`amsmath` etc.)&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; - font issues --&gt; drop all packages using fonts&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - hyperlinks  --&gt; omit `hyperref`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Only the really experienced `TeX` users know or can guess which class/packages should be loaded and sometimes this is even ambiguous since there are varities of possible solutions to a *problem*. A fragment of a code is a starting point, but most time a very crude one.   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, this a skeleton of a complete small document:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    %%% \usepackage statements here&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    %%% Other necessary statements here&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    %%% Code for **your** document &#xD;&#xA;    \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Change the documentclass `article` to one you really use. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's purely a stylistic question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, the answers that were given before closure actually do (some of them) address a TeX means of dealing with the underlying issue, but on-topic answers don't make the question on-topic, just as novel answers don't make a duplicate question unique (if I recall this is a current topic too).  This aspect of the nature of the question makes it something of an [XY problem](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2449/575), with the added twist that Y is off-topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another connection is with the [similar problem with MathJaX](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/272/575), where several answers agree that at least a significant part of that genre of question is off-topic, and moreover is explicitly on-topic elsewhere.  MathJaX questions are arguable in the same way, in that even installation and troubleshooting questions (as discussed by Martin Scharrer's answer) are analogous to such questions about installing and troubleshooting a TeX distribution that *are* on topic here...but when applied to MathJaX they are not, because the tool is fundamentally *not* TeX even if it accepts some TeX code.  And likewise here, the mathematical style question is fundamentally *not* TeX, even if it admits some TeX solutions (that may not even be appropriate!  What if it's a journal or university style?).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think the usual thing that's done for questions like this is to ask the q'ner to refine their post to the point that it is on-topic, specific, and answerable to their satisfaction.  However, what if their question *really is* &quot;should I use two notations for sets?&quot;; in that case, I think that it *really belongs* on a math forum because it's *really not* a TeX question, even if by virtue of being a typographic language TeX sometimes has opinions about matters of style."

Immediately. However, there is a bounty of knowledge already present on this site. Search for it using the best [ninja skills](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching) you have possible. Only then post a question.  For [not-so-new users](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/chat), the [chat room](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41/tex-latex-and-friends) is also a good place to hash out ideas about questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Duplication is fine if it turns out that the problem can be approached from different angles. Your question (even though it is a duplicate) may be the landing place for others searching for similar solutions. Questions marked as a duplicate will have their duplicate targets clearly listed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Include a [minimal working example (MWE)](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764) so that the actual problem can be replicated by the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Since we're not sitting next to you and a post is the only way you can communicate the problem, a MWE is like a picture... and worth a thousand words. Remember to keep it *minimal*. How do you know when something is minimal or not? Remove stuff until the problem is not reproducible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Write a descriptive (yet short) title&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; A title saying &quot;How do I fix this error&quot; doesn't help any future visitors who search this site. Like any search engine, question titles are included in the search results, together with snippets of text/code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; So, while &quot;How do I fix this error&quot; may mean something to *you* at the time of posting the question, you should...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ...have the bigger picture in mind - the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; The community is here to help you, so try to put yourself in their shoes when you post. Can they readily reproduce my problem? Have I given clear instruction as to what I'm after? Do I have an [XY problem](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2449/5764)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Include references and pictures&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; A reference to a different question will show that you've done some research or tried other avenues (perhaps you'd like to ask a [follow-up question](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2117/5764)). Pictures of the output (expected or actual) give most members an immediate take on what's going on. Again, a picture is worth more than a bunch of sentences. We have guidelines on [how to include images in posts](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2136/5764) - new users should follow the same procedure but remove the preceding `!` (markdown inserted to denote a picture). [*Janitors*](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/edit) will be able to rectify this and fully embed the image.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Mark your code properly&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; There's an [FAQ on how to mark your code](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/863/5764) using markdown.

And, as [you may have noticed](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching), searching based on tags (using `[&lt;tag&gt;]`) can help narrow your searching to find what you're looking for.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Be specific&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Think of the answer you require when formatting the question.

With that come eight individual memberships that can be given out to members of the community. The time has come to select our representatives for 2016. (See https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5905/tug-membership-names-for-2015 for last year's selection.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd like to ask people to put themselves forward. There are _no restrictions_ on standing other than having to be a member of the TeX StackExchange site. The existing 'representatives' are very welcome to put their names forward to continue. [Note: I've called the people we put forward 'representatives', but that's mainly because I can't think of a better term. Nominees should not feel the need to represent TeX-sx other than being members of the site and therefore interested in TeX in some way!]  There is _no need_ to have any particular level of site reputation, TeX experience or wider 'reason' to put yourself forward other than an interest in TeX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You may nominate others but the mod team will need confirmation from the nominee that they are happy before voting starts. The mod team will check this with any such nominees.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The model for selection of representatives is as follows. We will have a two stage process, first 'nomination' then 'election'. The first phase runs for five days, until 2100 GMT on 2016-02-01. Each person who wishes to be considered should post an answer, where they can (if they wish) say what makes them a good choice. They should then immediately delete their answer. Please don't vote on any answers during this phase: any votes cast will be ignored.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the second phase, all of the answers will be undeleted, and everyone should take a look at these answers and vote for deserving candidates: remember there are eight places available! Again, there will be five days to vote, ending 2100 GMT on 2016-02-06. At that stage, the top eight names will be forwarded to the StackExchange community staff for notification to TUG.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the event of a tie in number of votes, the mod team will decide which of the tied members are put forward to StackExchange. The mod team may also include additional names if at the end of the voting process there are fewer than eight nominees with positive scores.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Voting stage: Everyone is welcome to vote for as many or as few candidates as they wish. Remember that there are a total of eight places available to be selected. New nominations can be added during the voting phase.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the end of the voting period, the tallies were:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [cfr](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/39222/cfr), 30&#xD;&#xA;- [esdd](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/43317/esdd), 29&#xD;&#xA;- [michal.h21](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2891/michal-h21), 28&#xD;&#xA;- [Ignasi](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/1952/ignasi), 27&#xD;&#xA;- [Alenanno](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4778/alenanno), 26&#xD;&#xA;- [Przemysław Scherwentke](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/26134/przemys%C5%82aw-scherwentke), 24&#xD;&#xA;- [Zarko](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/18189/zarko), 24&#xD;&#xA;- [samcarter](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/36296/samcarter), 9&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are exactly eight names here, so all will be sent to the StackOverflow staff to be forwarded to TUG."

Only then post a question.  For [not-so-new users](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/chat), the [chat room](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41/tex-latex-and-friends) is also a good place to hash out ideas about questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Duplication is fine if it turns out that the problem can be approached from different angles. Your question (even though it is a duplicate) may be the landing place for others searching for similar solutions. Questions marked as a duplicate will have their duplicate targets clearly listed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Include a [minimal working example (MWE)](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764) so that the actual problem can be replicated by the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Since we're not sitting next to you and a post is the only way you can communicate the problem, a MWE is like a picture... and worth a thousand words. Remember to keep it *minimal*. How do you know when something is minimal or not? Remove stuff until the problem is not reproducible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Write a descriptive (yet short) title&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; A title saying &quot;How do I fix this error&quot; doesn't help any future visitors who search this site.

Do I have an [XY problem](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2449/5764)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Include references and pictures&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; A reference to a different question will show that you've done some research or tried other avenues (perhaps you'd like to ask a [follow-up question](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2117/5764)). Pictures of the output (expected or actual) give most members an immediate take on what's going on. Again, a picture is worth more than a bunch of sentences. We have guidelines on [how to include images in posts](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2136/5764) - new users should follow the same procedure but remove the preceding `!` (markdown inserted to denote a picture).

Every post contains a small flag link, which anyone with 15 reputation can use. Posts can be flagged as spam, offensive, or just general “needs moderator attention” with an explanatory comment or link. Once flagged, a post increments a flag count that shows up in the topbar for every moderator.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you see anything in the system that is evil, weird, or in any way exceptional and deserving of moderator attention for any reason...[flag it](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/flagging)! That’s the primary job of a moderator: to look at every flagged post, and take action if necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Moderators also have some special abilities necessary to handle those rare exceptional conditions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderator votes are binding. Any place we have voting — close, open, delete, undelete, offensive, migration, etc — that vote will reach the threshold and take effect immediately if a single moderator casts a vote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can lock posts. Locked posts cannot be voted on or changed in any way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can [protect questions](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/06/new-protected-question-status/). Protected questions only allow answers by users with more than 10 reputation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can see more data in the system, including vote statistics (but not ‘who voted for this post’) and user profile information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can place users in [timed suspension](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/04/a-day-in-the-penalty-box/), and delete users if necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can perform large-scale maintenance actions such as merging questions and tags, tag synonym approvals, and so forth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; A lot of the moderation work is mundane: deleting obvious spam, closing blatantly off-topic questions, and culling some of the worst-rated posts on the site. The ideal moderator does as little as possible, but those little actions may be powerful, visible, and highly concentrated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you have questions about the reasoning behind a moderator's actions, bring them up for discussion on [meta](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/). Remember to be **constructive and polite**; moderators have the best interest of the site in mind, but they may occasionally make mistakes or have to deal with controversial issues on which not everyone agrees."

SE policies and even internal consensuses seem to not be clearly communicated to users here on TeX.SE (two technically incorrect comments both received upvotes) (This btw is a larger problem with a couple of other communities as well, however this is one of the oddest cases I have found)&#xD;&#xA; 2. The fact that moderators haven't intercepted here to enforce the consensus on this and other answers by Barbara despite this seeming to happen on other answers written by her as well (invalid roll backs linking to the consensus, but looking at the accepted answer rather than the highest voted answer). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And just for the record, I am perfectly fine if you guys want to change StackExchange policy or mass vote now on the relevant meta question and redefine this specific consesus.

(Rules are clearly appropriate for legal matters, for example.) Each StackExchange network site has its own conventions, and those are to some extent 'organic'. They also need to work with the fact that each question and answer involves a 'real' person: people are funny things, and rules don't always work so well with them! So there's got to be some flexibility. (I'll come back to that below.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As noted in comments, voting on the meta site involves a subset of people 'routinely active' on the site, and that in itself is a subset of people who visit the site. As such, the best one can say about votes on meta is that they give some indication of the feeling of some of the site users. At the same time, there's no way of seeing what the history of voting is. Asking a 'how do we deal with ...' question requires that at some stage there is a decision: presumably there is some form of implementation to be done. However, votes can continue after this, so what gets implemented might end up not being what has the most votes. One way of indicating which answer seems to have 'won' at some arbitrary point is to accept it, but as we can't see the history we can't actually tell if that was the case here (at least, I can't be certain).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While the network emphasis the wiki/collaborative element to questions and answers, each one has someone's name on it. That's something we should, I think, be mindful about. So it's one thing to have a convention to 'fix' things, but another to ignore the OP when the roll such edits back. For example, there is a weak convention on the site to remove 'thanks' from questions, but if the OP rolls back such an edit then I'd usually anticipate that it would be 'left alone'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think it's important to note here that as noted in comments on the question, there are a reasonable number of votes in both directions on the ['What should the guideline be?'](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2097/respecting-posters-style) question, and also quite a number in favour of a 'light touch' approach  laid out in response to a [previous question on this area](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2599/why-were-my-edits-rejected). As such, and in the context of 'How are decisions reached?', it seems to me that this is not an area where there is a _clear_ consensus one way or the other. As such, we as a 'community' and in particular the mod team are left having to find a workable balance. To me, that 'balance' seems to be to edit where it will be seen by the OP as helpful whilst avoiding editing 'wars' as much as possible. (That of course does mean having to accept some things that as an individual I may not be 100% happy about.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the end, my feeling is that we do better having a wider range of contributors, even with the odd eccentricity, than rigidly enforcing a set of 'rules'. To date, we've not had any serious confusion from people looking for help, at least that I know of." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Speaking from both personal experience and from having read theories of consensus, consensus is often **hard** to achieve. It takes long face-to-face conversations and a lot of work and energy. This is something that the Stack Exchange model neither provides nor facilitates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unless a network is still in beta and has fewer than 50 (20?) users, I find it particularly unlikely that **consensus** will ever be reached about anything that is even slightly controversial.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So this means that we're talking about (at best) majority-based decision making processes,&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; and this inherently entails that some users will be unhappy.&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, what's the point of this discussion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Well, the Stack Exchange model has been setup so as to facilitate the creation of communities, and these communities are, within limits, free to determine some of their own policies, practices, and oddities. Given that some of these policies will perhaps be controversial and given that the Stack Exchange model does not allow for consensus-based decision making processes, we have to accept that some users will be unhappy. So while this does not address the question about how &quot;consensus&quot; is actually determined (and I think [David has already raised some good points][2] about this), it is important to recognize that this is **not** &quot;consensus&quot; and just because some individuals (often individuals who do not participate regularly in the TeX.SX community, if at all) get upset, does not mean that we should immediately stop our practice and adopt theirs because the other way of doing things will not necessarily be any better. That is, it will just make other users upset.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It's not clear that this even constitutes majority-based decision making. See [@cfr's comment][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. This is why [comments like this][1], I think, are ridiculous. Why doesn't SO stop running so roughshod with new users? That obviously repels a lot of users. So SO should obviously stop doing that, right?! Of course not. There is good reason that they do things the way that they do. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2599/why-were-my-edits-rejected#comment6513_2599&#xD;&#xA;[2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/consensus-vs-accepted-answers-on-meta/4515#4515&#xD;&#xA;[3]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/consensus-vs-accepted-answers-on-meta/4518?noredirect=1#comment14913_4518" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Every post contains a small flag link, which anyone with 15 reputation can use. Posts can be flagged as spam, offensive, or just general “needs moderator attention” with an explanatory comment or link. Once flagged, a post increments a flag count that shows up in the topbar for every moderator.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you see anything in the system that is evil, weird, or in any way exceptional and deserving of moderator attention for any reason...[flag it](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/flagging)! That’s the primary job of a moderator: to look at every flagged post, and take action if necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Moderators also have some special abilities necessary to handle those rare exceptional conditions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderator votes are binding. Any place we have voting — close, open, delete, undelete, offensive, migration, etc — that vote will reach the threshold and take effect immediately if a single moderator casts a vote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can lock posts. Locked posts cannot be voted on or changed in any way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can [protect questions](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/06/new-protected-question-status/). Protected questions only allow answers by users with more than 10 reputation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can see more data in the system, including vote statistics (but not ‘who voted for this post’) and user profile information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can place users in [timed suspension](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/04/a-day-in-the-penalty-box/), and delete users if necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can perform large-scale maintenance actions such as merging questions and tags, tag synonym approvals, and so forth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; A lot of the moderation work is mundane: deleting obvious spam, closing blatantly off-topic questions, and culling some of the worst-rated posts on the site. The ideal moderator does as little as possible, but those little actions may be powerful, visible, and highly concentrated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you have questions about the reasoning behind a moderator's actions, bring them up for discussion on [meta](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/). Remember to be **constructive and polite**; moderators have the best interest of the site in mind, but they may occasionally make mistakes or have to deal with controversial issues on which not everyone agrees."

Your duty to the community and future readers is greater than to Barbara.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;after which I received the follow up comment&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; @DavidMulder We don't follow such things here for the sake of SE network. More in this post, since this pops up every now and then meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3802/… Also there is no duty involved on TeX-SX, it is all community driven voluntary work. –  percusse 1 hour ago&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, the problem is two fold:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. SE policies and even internal consensuses seem to not be clearly communicated to users here on TeX.SE (two technically incorrect comments both received upvotes) (This btw is a larger problem with a couple of other communities as well, however this is one of the oddest cases I have found)&#xD;&#xA; 2. The fact that moderators haven't intercepted here to enforce the consensus on this and other answers by Barbara despite this seeming to happen on other answers written by her as well (invalid roll backs linking to the consensus, but looking at the accepted answer rather than the highest voted answer). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And just for the record, I am perfectly fine if you guys want to change StackExchange policy or mass vote now on the relevant meta question and redefine this specific consesus. Like seriously, if you feel like it, go for it. However, at least at the moment, this does not seem relevant.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;PS. Yes, I am just an outsider (worked with TeX enough that I will be happy each day I don't need to use it O:) ), but I do love the functioning of the SE network as a whole and this answer came up in the hot network questions, and something like this just reflects extremely poorly on this sub-site. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/177550/how-is-consensus-determined-on-meta-sites&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2097/respecting-posters-style&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/2103/48077&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/96039/if-votes-works-differently-on-meta-sites-how-does-that-of-accepting-answers-work/96041#96041&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/191219/48077&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/revisions/191219/3&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/revisions/191219/4" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

(Rules are clearly appropriate for legal matters, for example.) Each StackExchange network site has its own conventions, and those are to some extent 'organic'. They also need to work with the fact that each question and answer involves a 'real' person: people are funny things, and rules don't always work so well with them! So there's got to be some flexibility. (I'll come back to that below.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As noted in comments, voting on the meta site involves a subset of people 'routinely active' on the site, and that in itself is a subset of people who visit the site. As such, the best one can say about votes on meta is that they give some indication of the feeling of some of the site users. At the same time, there's no way of seeing what the history of voting is. Asking a 'how do we deal with ...' question requires that at some stage there is a decision: presumably there is some form of implementation to be done. However, votes can continue after this, so what gets implemented might end up not being what has the most votes. One way of indicating which answer seems to have 'won' at some arbitrary point is to accept it, but as we can't see the history we can't actually tell if that was the case here (at least, I can't be certain).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While the network emphasis the wiki/collaborative element to questions and answers, each one has someone's name on it. That's something we should, I think, be mindful about. So it's one thing to have a convention to 'fix' things, but another to ignore the OP when the roll such edits back. For example, there is a weak convention on the site to remove 'thanks' from questions, but if the OP rolls back such an edit then I'd usually anticipate that it would be 'left alone'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think it's important to note here that as noted in comments on the question, there are a reasonable number of votes in both directions on the ['What should the guideline be?'](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2097/respecting-posters-style) question, and also quite a number in favour of a 'light touch' approach  laid out in response to a [previous question on this area](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2599/why-were-my-edits-rejected). As such, and in the context of 'How are decisions reached?', it seems to me that this is not an area where there is a _clear_ consensus one way or the other. As such, we as a 'community' and in particular the mod team are left having to find a workable balance. To me, that 'balance' seems to be to edit where it will be seen by the OP as helpful whilst avoiding editing 'wars' as much as possible. (That of course does mean having to accept some things that as an individual I may not be 100% happy about.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the end, my feeling is that we do better having a wider range of contributors, even with the odd eccentricity, than rigidly enforcing a set of 'rules'. To date, we've not had any serious confusion from people looking for help, at least that I know of." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Speaking from both personal experience and from having read theories of consensus, consensus is often **hard** to achieve. It takes long face-to-face conversations and a lot of work and energy. This is something that the Stack Exchange model neither provides nor facilitates.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Unless a network is still in beta and has fewer than 50 (20?) users, I find it particularly unlikely that **consensus** will ever be reached about anything that is even slightly controversial.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So this means that we're talking about (at best) majority-based decision making processes,&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; and this inherently entails that some users will be unhappy.&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, what's the point of this discussion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Well, the Stack Exchange model has been setup so as to facilitate the creation of communities, and these communities are, within limits, free to determine some of their own policies, practices, and oddities. Given that some of these policies will perhaps be controversial and given that the Stack Exchange model does not allow for consensus-based decision making processes, we have to accept that some users will be unhappy. So while this does not address the question about how &quot;consensus&quot; is actually determined (and I think [David has already raised some good points][2] about this), it is important to recognize that this is **not** &quot;consensus&quot; and just because some individuals (often individuals who do not participate regularly in the TeX.SX community, if at all) get upset, does not mean that we should immediately stop our practice and adopt theirs because the other way of doing things will not necessarily be any better. That is, it will just make other users upset.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It's not clear that this even constitutes majority-based decision making. See [@cfr's comment][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. This is why [comments like this][1], I think, are ridiculous. Why doesn't SO stop running so roughshod with new users? That obviously repels a lot of users. So SO should obviously stop doing that, right?! Of course not. There is good reason that they do things the way that they do. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2599/why-were-my-edits-rejected#comment6513_2599&#xD;&#xA;[2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/consensus-vs-accepted-answers-on-meta/4515#4515&#xD;&#xA;[3]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/consensus-vs-accepted-answers-on-meta/4518?noredirect=1#comment14913_4518" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For these, there is a certain amount of discussion which can be had and as pointed out by [percusee](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/5868) you can argue things are not entirely consistent. As we are talking about value judgements that is perhaps not surprising.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at the question here, there are arguments for both 'off-topic' and 'opinion-based'. I will take the two arguments separately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of topic, the PLOS ONE article seeks to compare TeX (LaTeX) with a word processor (Word). Thus at least in part it's already about something we don't cover: word processors. However, the bigger issue here for me is that the issue [your question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/219576/does-latex-really-perform-worse-than-word) is raises  is&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Based on this study can we conclude that Word works better than LaTeX?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's not about TeX and it's not about Word: it's about measuring productivity, specifically from the study in an academic setting but presumably more generally. That's a technical area (I'm sure there are experts on this type of measurement) but it's not what _we_ cover as a site. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the 'opinion-based' side, this is about more than 'there might be more than one answer'. (While the StackExchange model is best for questions where a single answer can be 'more correct' than any others, there is certainly some room for more nuanced situations.) Asking for a critique of a paper comparing Word and LaTeX on a site about TeX is only going to go one way, but it's hardly going to be objective. (Something like the ['grandma' question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/94889/how-can-i-explain-the-meaning-of-latex-to-my-grandma) is clearly a bit of fun, so people are likely to give them more leeway, whereas some of the promotion questions may be given more slack as they are not directly about criticising other approaches.) The entire thing seems much better suited to a threaded discussion format, which chat does better than a question but which is really better on a mailing list or on Usenet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Over all, to me the two areas together suggest that this is not a good fit for the site: TeX-sx isn't the best place for _everything_ about TeX. The same might be said of some other questions, and I'd be wary of saying 'As X is open, Y _must_ be allowed too.'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Note: While my name is currently down as closing the question, this is because I was asked to 'tidy up' the close reason from 'off-topic' to 'opinion-based' as this seemed perhaps better. I did *not* vote to close initially.]" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For these, there is a certain amount of discussion which can be had and as pointed out by [percusee](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/5868) you can argue things are not entirely consistent. As we are talking about value judgements that is perhaps not surprising.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at the question here, there are arguments for both 'off-topic' and 'opinion-based'. I will take the two arguments separately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of topic, the PLOS ONE article seeks to compare TeX (LaTeX) with a word processor (Word). Thus at least in part it's already about something we don't cover: word processors. However, the bigger issue here for me is that the issue [your question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/219576/does-latex-really-perform-worse-than-word) is raises  is&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Based on this study can we conclude that Word works better than LaTeX?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's not about TeX and it's not about Word: it's about measuring productivity, specifically from the study in an academic setting but presumably more generally. That's a technical area (I'm sure there are experts on this type of measurement) but it's not what _we_ cover as a site. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the 'opinion-based' side, this is about more than 'there might be more than one answer'. (While the StackExchange model is best for questions where a single answer can be 'more correct' than any others, there is certainly some room for more nuanced situations.) Asking for a critique of a paper comparing Word and LaTeX on a site about TeX is only going to go one way, but it's hardly going to be objective. (Something like the ['grandma' question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/94889/how-can-i-explain-the-meaning-of-latex-to-my-grandma) is clearly a bit of fun, so people are likely to give them more leeway, whereas some of the promotion questions may be given more slack as they are not directly about criticising other approaches.) The entire thing seems much better suited to a threaded discussion format, which chat does better than a question but which is really better on a mailing list or on Usenet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Over all, to me the two areas together suggest that this is not a good fit for the site: TeX-sx isn't the best place for _everything_ about TeX. The same might be said of some other questions, and I'd be wary of saying 'As X is open, Y _must_ be allowed too.'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Note: While my name is currently down as closing the question, this is because I was asked to 'tidy up' the close reason from 'off-topic' to 'opinion-based' as this seemed perhaps better. I did *not* vote to close initially.]" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I know a lot of us are annoyed by these questions. But I'm not so sure, as in the linked discussion, that these sorts of questions add nothing to the site. I believe they could add something if we had an appropriate tag, such as `[how-to-draw]`, or we came up with better titles that might help others doing a search for such things. A tag additionally could then be a place to first direct people to look to see *possibly similar* figures that they wish to duplicate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I feel that the learning curve for either TikZ or PSTricks is steep enough that people can generally be quite lost about how to do even the simplest things. I discovered PSTricks many years ago and got to be quite comfortable with it. I began using TikZ about the time I joined this site.  Though there are similarities, much is different. For example, I feel, TikZ requires a much deeper understanding of LaTeX's macro expansion process than PSTricks requires.&#xD;&#xA;And, for those people who are new to LaTeX and haven't used any of the graphical packages, I think they can feel quite overwhelmed and lost. Some of the answers/comments to TikZ questions are just rather off-putting, like comments that read &quot;it's in the manual&quot;. Yes, that may be true, but the manuals are very long or broken across many different documents; finding what you want to do can be extremely challenging.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've been thinking about this policy of ours for a while. And it seems that increasingly we're becoming less *friendly* toward people who may just be totally out to sea about how to even start something.&#xD;&#xA;Recently I was downvoted for [answering such a question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/241587/22413)---and, I am **not** complaining about that; I understand the reason---but, that's prompted me to actually go ahead and post this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some of us actually enjoy trying to answer such *how to draw* questions: sometimes just because it challenges our own understanding of TikZ/PSTricks; other times just because it's fun to create the image. New people are always going to come to our site and post these sorts of annoying questions no matter how much we try to discourage it. I generally only answer such question for people with low rep. counts, which I take to be a sign that they may also be novice LaTeX (and family) users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm actually much more bothered by the repeated downvotes for the OP. I feel it casts us in a negative light when so much of what we do it supportive. I don't think it necessary that we view the people posting these questions as *vampires* (unless it's the same individually repeatedly posting time and time again the same sort of &quot;do this for me&quot; sort of question).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Could we come up with a policy that would make it more forgiving for OPs who may not even know where to start with TikZ/PSTricks? Could we please find a way not to be offended by these questions? After all, no one is saying, &quot;Hey you there, *you* must answer my post!&quot;.

I know a lot of us are annoyed by these questions. But I'm not so sure, as in the linked discussion, that these sorts of questions add nothing to the site. I believe they could add something if we had an appropriate tag, such as `[how-to-draw]`, or we came up with better titles that might help others doing a search for such things. A tag additionally could then be a place to first direct people to look to see *possibly similar* figures that they wish to duplicate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I feel that the learning curve for either TikZ or PSTricks is steep enough that people can generally be quite lost about how to do even the simplest things. I discovered PSTricks many years ago and got to be quite comfortable with it. I began using TikZ about the time I joined this site.  Though there are similarities, much is different. For example, I feel, TikZ requires a much deeper understanding of LaTeX's macro expansion process than PSTricks requires.&#xD;&#xA;And, for those people who are new to LaTeX and haven't used any of the graphical packages, I think they can feel quite overwhelmed and lost. Some of the answers/comments to TikZ questions are just rather off-putting, like comments that read &quot;it's in the manual&quot;. Yes, that may be true, but the manuals are very long or broken across many different documents; finding what you want to do can be extremely challenging.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've been thinking about this policy of ours for a while. And it seems that increasingly we're becoming less *friendly* toward people who may just be totally out to sea about how to even start something.&#xD;&#xA;Recently I was downvoted for [answering such a question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/241587/22413)---and, I am **not** complaining about that; I understand the reason---but, that's prompted me to actually go ahead and post this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some of us actually enjoy trying to answer such *how to draw* questions: sometimes just because it challenges our own understanding of TikZ/PSTricks; other times just because it's fun to create the image. New people are always going to come to our site and post these sorts of annoying questions no matter how much we try to discourage it. I generally only answer such question for people with low rep. counts, which I take to be a sign that they may also be novice LaTeX (and family) users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm actually much more bothered by the repeated downvotes for the OP. I feel it casts us in a negative light when so much of what we do it supportive. I don't think it necessary that we view the people posting these questions as *vampires* (unless it's the same individually repeatedly posting time and time again the same sort of &quot;do this for me&quot; sort of question).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Could we come up with a policy that would make it more forgiving for OPs who may not even know where to start with TikZ/PSTricks? Could we please find a way not to be offended by these questions? After all, no one is saying, &quot;Hey you there, *you* must answer my post!&quot;. They're just reaching out hoping that someone will answer them." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But things have changed since then. Our recent residents are getting really hostile more frequently. There is no other way of putting it. Especially in the chat room I'm witnessing a lot of *ah, look at this idiot* type of comments on questions and especially drawing attention to a flaming commentary to show off how right they are. And I am actually waiting for the 100th monkey&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; to pick up this nasty behavior and change the color of the spirit here which is happening for some time now. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Maybe we should remind ourselves that this is only TeX we are dealing with. An obscure typesetting system for mostly academic purposes, not a cure for cancer. It is fun and beautiful nothing else. So non-TeX people have all the rights not knowing it. And it looks ridiculous and funny when users occasionally come to this site to ask something and see this small print popping under questions with serious attitude telling to do *yada yada yada*. There is a difference between letting someone know about the style and registering them to your own club.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't find this pretentious *oh let's teach him how to fish* attitude comfortable. Because if you really want to teach (I don't know where this self-confidence comes from too) you try to be nice, you don't prove how correct you are. If there is a duplicate close it. If there is none let them be. We have more than enough means to deal with unanswered questions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Housekeeping does not equate to repelling boring questions.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There will always be boring questions. But of course if you feel like TeX-SX is your daily dosage of SuDoKu and you don't like your fun being spoiled by users who are not supplying enough fun, then you get grumpy and belittle questions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Being an old user or hi-rep doesn't give anyone the right to be the discipline police. Especially some users are quite annoying to be the first one to engage with some new users, piss them off right off the bat and move to the next question where they can fix lacking manners of another user with a hearty Welcome to TeX-SX and then following with **here are the ways you fail: code blocks, thank yous, MWEs, usernames**. I have been tangentially involved in some of those code block compositions. Nobody back then thought that it would be a tool for the etiquette police.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the meantime, often times a potential answerer has to deal with a overzealous response of the OP leading to *read my question properly* type of response because someone pissed that user off before we can finish reading the question. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are recent three questions that are too broad (asks specifically a certain plot type) and unclear (really? with two downvotes) and the last one is also interesting because OP said something but failed to make the code work (!?).

Furthermore, the default edge path in `forest` is not one used much in linguistics, and so needs to be changed to match common practice in the field.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So please, people, let's recommend `forest` in places where it clearly has an advantage, but don't just tell people using `tikz-qtree` that they should be using `forest` instead, especially if their original question uses `tikz-qtree`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This problem has arisen before in the context of TikZ vs. PSTricks etc. answers:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3452/2693" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Then&#xD;&#xA;there will be no confusion with similar names, and people will be&#xD;&#xA;primed to pronounce everything properly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While our medium technically does allow lowering of the 'E' (and raising of the 'A' for LaTeX), the lack of kerning makes it look not very nice. Even if you figured out the kerning, it would get broken if the Powers do a site update that changes the fonts or if a user's web browser loads different fonts for personal or fallback reasons. Some more reasons are accessibility, search-ability, and copy/paste-ability. These sorts of HTML/Unicode tricks would reduce the &quot;search weight&quot; (totally made-up term) of our pages, which in my mind is one of the great strengths of the Stack Exchange network.

I also found these questions on the topic:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3587/how-to-choose-between-two-equally-good-and-equally-helpful-answers/3588#3588&#xD;&#xA; - https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3176/choosing-to-accept-between-an-answer-that-helped-me-the-most-and-a-more-popular&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So it seems that more people encounter situations where there is not a single answer that they deem worth accepting. I just had such a situation in http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/281426/define-macro-for-sequence-list-tuple-macros where I tried to solve that by accepting one answer and editing the question to explicitly mention another answer that was very useful to me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I think in such a situation it would actually be more suitable to accept more than one answer. So here comes my feature request:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Would it be possible to accept more than one answer and distribute the 15 reputation points among the accepted answers at the discretion of the questioner?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That would also give a natural limit for when an answer by several people should be made a community wiki (i.e., at the latest when more than 15 people are involved).

I also found these questions on the topic:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3587/how-to-choose-between-two-equally-good-and-equally-helpful-answers/3588#3588&#xD;&#xA; - https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3176/choosing-to-accept-between-an-answer-that-helped-me-the-most-and-a-more-popular&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So it seems that more people encounter situations where there is not a single answer that they deem worth accepting. I just had such a situation in http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/281426/define-macro-for-sequence-list-tuple-macros where I tried to solve that by accepting one answer and editing the question to explicitly mention another answer that was very useful to me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I think in such a situation it would actually be more suitable to accept more than one answer. So here comes my feature request:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Would it be possible to accept more than one answer and distribute the 15 reputation points among the accepted answers at the discretion of the questioner?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That would also give a natural limit for when an answer by several people should be made a community wiki (i.e., at the latest when more than 15 people are involved). Would more people be interested in such a feature? Would it be technically doable (maybe over time)?" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

(See https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5905/tug-membership-names-for-2015 for last year's selection.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd like to ask people to put themselves forward. There are _no restrictions_ on standing other than having to be a member of the TeX StackExchange site. The existing 'representatives' are very welcome to put their names forward to continue. [Note: I've called the people we put forward 'representatives', but that's mainly because I can't think of a better term.

The mod team will check this with any such nominees.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The model for selection of representatives is as follows. We will have a two stage process, first 'nomination' then 'election'. The first phase runs for five days, until 2100 GMT on 2016-02-01. Each person who wishes to be considered should post an answer, where they can (if they wish) say what makes them a good choice. They should then immediately delete their answer. Please don't vote on any answers during this phase: any votes cast will be ignored.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the second phase, all of the answers will be undeleted, and everyone should take a look at these answers and vote for deserving candidates: remember there are eight places available! Again, there will be five days to vote, ending 2100 GMT on 2016-02-06. At that stage, the top eight names will be forwarded to the StackExchange community staff for notification to TUG.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the event of a tie in number of votes, the mod team will decide which of the tied members are put forward to StackExchange. The mod team may also include additional names if at the end of the voting process there are fewer than eight nominees with positive scores.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Voting stage: Everyone is welcome to vote for as many or as few candidates as they wish. Remember that there are a total of eight places available to be selected.

The winning number was **50**, picked by **CarLaTeX**. Thanks everybody for joining the contest!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;'ello, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, ducks and mallards, children of all ages! It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016, seasonal edition**! [The previous giveaway](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6652) was a huge success, so let us try that again! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our third lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses. **UPDATE:** Let us spice things up! you can now select a *third* entry! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 November, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access). If you seek anonymity, we advise you to not enter this contest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Please don't forget to edit the punch card with your numbers.** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The lottery&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As seen in the last lottery, I'll use the following code to pick the winner (special thanks to the awesome LaTeX Project for LaTeX3):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{expl3}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{xparse}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{pgf}&#xD;&#xA;    \pgfmathsetseed{\number\pdfrandomseed}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOn&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \prop_new:N \g_duck_contest_prop&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \bool_set_false:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;    \tl_new:N \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    \int_new:N \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand { \person } { m m }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \clist_map_inline:nn { #1 }&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_if_in:NnTF \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                Hey! ~ #2 ~ wants ~ to ~ be ~ naughty! ~&#xD;&#xA;                The ~ number ~ ##1 ~ was ~ already ~ chosen! \par&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \prop_gput:Nnn \g_duck_contest_prop { ##1 } { #2 }&#xD;&#xA;                \int_gset:Nn \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int&#xD;&#xA;                {&#xD;&#xA;                    \int_max:nn { \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int } { ##1 }&#xD;&#xA;                }&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winner } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \bool_do_until:Nn \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;        {&#xD;&#xA;            \pgfmathrandom{1, \g_duck_contest_upper_limit_int}&#xD;&#xA;            \prop_get:NoN \g_duck_contest_prop { \pgfmathresult } \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            \quark_if_no_value:NF \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;            {&#xD;&#xA;                \bool_set_true:N \l_duck_contest_winner_bool&#xD;&#xA;            }&#xD;&#xA;        }&#xD;&#xA;        \int_set_eq:NN \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int \pgfmathresult&#xD;&#xA;        \l_duck_contest_winner_tl&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \cs_generate_variant:Nn \prop_get:NnN { No }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \NewDocumentCommand{ \winningnumber } { }&#xD;&#xA;    {&#xD;&#xA;        \int_to_arabic:n \l_duck_contest_winning_number_int&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \ExplSyntaxOff&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % add yourself here&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    % For example, in the following line&#xD;&#xA;    % I picked 1 and 27, but I'm not&#xD;&#xA;    % participating in the contest :)&#xD;&#xA;    % \person{1,27}{Paulo Cereda}&#xD;&#xA;    % ==============================&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    % the announcement&#xD;&#xA;    The winner is \winner, with \winningnumber!

You can also invite a specific user to a chat room from his/her chat profile.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you're looking to get attention for your question, the system you're really looking for is the [bounty system](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/16065/299342). From the answer to the Meta.SE FAQ on the bounty system (emphasis added):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; A bounty is a special reputation award given to answers. **This feature was designed to motivate answerers, and help questions get the answers they deserve**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You have to spend your own reputation (at least 50) to post a bounty, but in exchange your question is put on the highly visible [feature tab](http://tex.stackexchange.com/?tab=featured) for the duration of the bounty (up to 1 week). Furthermore, as [@Christian Hupfer](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/6812/61108) mentioned, you might be able to convince a kind high-rep TeX.SE user to offer the bounty for you."

The winning number was **50**, picked by **CarLaTeX**. Thanks everybody for joining the contest!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;'ello, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, ducks and mallards, children of all ages! It is time for organizing another amazing community lottery, our beloved **duck giveaway 2016, seasonal edition**! [The previous giveaway](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/6652) was a huge success, so let us try that again! Quack!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The prize will be a lovely duck! Not a real one, I am afraid (note to self: organize another lottery with *real ducks* in the future), it will be a hand puppet duck:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Quack!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4XjfZ.jpg)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lovely, isn't it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Again, why a duck? Why not a lion?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As I mentioned in the thread linked [here](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4076), I always like to provide examples with ducks when I write answers. To my surprise, the theme got a very positive feedback from the community and it spread to everybody. Of course, a lion would be better, but hey, it's free! And it's a duck! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why a hand puppet?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This will be our third lottery offering a duck puppet and I still have absolutely no idea. But since I got this duck again, I thought it would be a good idea to start a contest! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Rules&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rules from last lottery still apply:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- To win the duck you must guess a number in the range 1-200. The first person who guesses the right number gets the duck.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants may submit 2 valid guesses. **UPDATE:** Let us spice things up! you can now select a *third* entry! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Please post your guess as an answer to this meta question, not as a comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Contestants must have been a member of TeX.sx before 1 November, 2016.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Two additional mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If two or more people choose the same number, only the oldest entry will be considered. The other guesses will be automatically disqualified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you win the contest, I will need your real name and address for shipping and customs purposes (you can contact me through email, so only I will have privileged access).

Let me explain why, exactly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After doing an exhaustive search (looking at all posts that match `&gt;\s*!` † anywhere in their entire history) I found that the following posts contain the spoiler syntax.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. [Can MikTeX texmf trees contain the equivalent of a “symbolic link”?][1] (*)&#xD;&#xA; 2. [An answer to][2] How can I change the legend's location in a pgfplot? (*)&#xD;&#xA; 3.

The results were then checked by hand to find the true matches.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, it is *still* a problem which should be addressed.  I'll touch on why the solutions proposed here are unacceptable, and then go into what has actually been done to alleviate it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Simply turn spoilers off** - this would make Tex.SE's markdown syntax (negatively) distinct from every other SE's.  Assuming non-trivial cross pollination of users (that is, new users who are familiar with some other SE) this is potentially confusing.  Given how rare the &quot;accidental spoiler&quot; problem is, I call this a wash** at best.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Tweak the spoiler CSS** - most obviously, posts would still lose `!` when they tripped over the spoiler syntax which would just lead to more bug reports.  Less obviously, this would be an irreversible change; if spoilers were to become a desired feature (something that can't be discounted, [given][7] [its][8] [popularity][9] [as][10] a [feature-request]), we couldn't re-enable it because doing so would *retroactively* hide text in old posts.  Its worth noting that (in supporting browsers) a user can use User CSS to do this client-side.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;**The only markdown feature not on *everywhere* is LaTeX rendering (which is on for [CSTheory][11], [Math][12], and [Physics][13]).  This is because the [MathJax][14] library is so large (and cpu intesive) that it has a deleterious effect on page load.  It is also &quot;additive&quot; with regards to our baseline markdown, making it less dangerous in my opinion.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ok, now for what has actually been done to mitigate this (already, vanishingly rare) issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the time of the only truly affected post's creation, the preview pane wasn't rendering spoilers.  This could definitely hit TeX harder than other sites, and upon discovering that it (already being [status-planned]) was kicked up on the schedule.  You can go [take a look][15] at the renderer to see why this took a bit, but its out there now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; It should be more or less impossible&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to *accidentally* post a spoiler now,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; as the preview pane will show it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This would still leave the problem of generating a spoiler unintentionally (even though it probably wouldn't go so far as to actually be posted).  So, to mitigate that, the &quot;quote&quot; button on the post editor will no longer generate spoilers***.

Let me explain why, exactly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After doing an exhaustive search (looking at all posts that match `&gt;\s*!` † anywhere in their entire history) I found that the following posts contain the spoiler syntax.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. [Can MikTeX texmf trees contain the equivalent of a “symbolic link”?][1] (*)&#xD;&#xA; 2. [An answer to][2] How can I change the legend's location in a pgfplot? (*)&#xD;&#xA; 3.

[“TeX capacity exceeded” because of a couple of raiseboxes in a \section…?][4] (*)&#xD;&#xA; 5. [A revision of][5] MiKTeX 2.9 Does NOT Support \`hypernat\`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Depending on how you want to count (affected, or potentially affected) this is either 0.01% or 0.07% of all posts to date.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I hope it's clear (and not contentious) that this is a very rare problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;*Posted prior to the [spoiler feature being added][6], so not *actually* affected, but could potentially be if a non-trivial edit is made (and the editor ignores the preview).&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;†This would grab everything that even *might* trigger the spoiler code.  The results were then checked by hand to find the true matches.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, it is *still* a problem which should be addressed.  I'll touch on why the solutions proposed here are unacceptable, and then go into what has actually been done to alleviate it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Simply turn spoilers off** - this would make Tex.SE's markdown syntax (negatively) distinct from every other SE's.  Assuming non-trivial cross pollination of users (that is, new users who are familiar with some other SE) this is potentially confusing.  Given how rare the &quot;accidental spoiler&quot; problem is, I call this a wash** at best.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Tweak the spoiler CSS** - most obviously, posts would still lose `!` when they tripped over the spoiler syntax which would just lead to more bug reports.  Less obviously, this would be an irreversible change; if spoilers were to become a desired feature (something that can't be discounted, [given][7] [its][8] [popularity][9] [as][10] a [feature-request]), we couldn't re-enable it because doing so would *retroactively* hide text in old posts.  Its worth noting that (in supporting browsers) a user can use User CSS to do this client-side.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;**The only markdown feature not on *everywhere* is LaTeX rendering (which is on for [CSTheory][11], [Math][12], and [Physics][13]).  This is because the [MathJax][14] library is so large (and cpu intesive) that it has a deleterious effect on page load.  It is also &quot;additive&quot; with regards to our baseline markdown, making it less dangerous in my opinion.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ok, now for what has actually been done to mitigate this (already, vanishingly rare) issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the time of the only truly affected post's creation, the preview pane wasn't rendering spoilers.  This could definitely hit TeX harder than other sites, and upon discovering that it (already being [status-planned]) was kicked up on the schedule.  You can go [take a look][15] at the renderer to see why this took a bit, but its out there now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; It should be more or less impossible&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to *accidentally* post a spoiler now,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; as the preview pane will show it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This would still leave the problem of generating a spoiler unintentionally (even though it probably wouldn't go so far as to actually be posted).  So, to mitigate that, the &quot;quote&quot; button on the post editor will no longer generate spoilers***.  This was already pretty tricky to do accidentally, as only very short messages would be placed on a single line in a quote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The quote button will no longer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; produce spoilers, regardless of the length&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of the selected text.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a less technical note, there was some confusion as to how the spoiler syntax actually worked.  *I blame me*.

Only applies to other people in the comments that you are commenting on.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  2. Response must include @username that you are referring to, where &quot;username&quot; is a reasonable match to the user's current display name (as seen in the comments above yours).&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  3. There must be a starts-with, case insensitive match of at least THREE characters to the displayname. _UPDATE:_ @ab will _only_ give a match if the third letter of the displayname is a non-letter.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  4. Spaces cannot be used to match, so if the person's display name is &quot;Peter Smith&quot; then just use @peter to match.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  5. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if there are five people named &quot;John&quot; in the comments, writing &quot;hey @john, have you considered apples?&quot; will match the most recent John to comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These older rules don't include some later features: now the look up for names tries to look in more places for a match and tolerates omitted spaces. And: anyone who _edits_ a question or answer is also on the list of people who are considered possible matches for notification. Hence, the official rules, as [described on meta.SO](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1093/make-recent-activity-and-responses-show-new-comments-on-questions-answers-i-have/35913#35913):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;1. Notifications apply to the author, commenters, and [editors](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/36052/allow-post-editor-to-see-comments-directed-at-him/36055#36055) of the question or answer that you are commenting on—users not in that list cannot be notified.  The question and answers are all considered independently.  For example, if Alice was the author of, commented on, or edited the question or her answer, then you cannot notify her by commenting on Bob's answer (unless Alice *also* participated in that answer), and vice versa.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;2. You must include *@name*, where *name* is a reasonable match to a user's current display name.  Users who have not set a display name in their profile are not notified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;3. If the first word in the display name is at least three characters long, then there must be a starts-with, case-insensitive match of at least three characters in the display name.  This means *@a* and *@ab* will never match anyone, [unless][1] a user uses a first word that is only two characters. Like: *@Jo* will notify Jo Miller, but not John, and @B. will notify B. Gates, but not B.Gates. If there are more than three characters in *@name*, then all given characters must match (neither *@alix* nor *@aliceinwonderland* will match user Alice).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;4. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if five people named John are participating, *@john* will match the most recent John. (Use the next rule to differentiate.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;5. Spaces are removed from the display names for matching purposes, so to match Peter Smith you may use *@pet*, *@peter*, *@peters*, or *@petersmith*.  The last two are useful if Peter Jones is also participating. Single quotes, dots, dashes and underscores should [not](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/51911/the-dot-in-username-within-first-3-character-preventing-from-comment-replies/51913#51913) be removed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;6. Special characters [are replaced](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/48968/peter-works-for-peter/49409#49409) with their simple equivalent. To reply to Piëre you can use both *@piëre* and *@piere*. And to reply to Jörg you could use *@jorg*, [but not](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/89051/joerg-works-for-jorg) *@joerg*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;7. Comments containing more than one *@name* [are blocked](https://math.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2094/should-we-discourage-the-user-of-multiple-redundant-username-pings/2615#2615) unless they contain a backtick.&#xD;&#xA;In the latter case, only the first name mentioned using the *@name* syntax will be [notified](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2035/notify-user-when-their-name-is-mentioned-in-comment/35914#35914). For example, *@alice @bob Hi!\`* will notify Alice (if she has participated in that post), but not Bob.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;8. An exception is the case when the first *@name* either matched nobody, or matched the post's author (and thus isn't necessary); in this case, the next *@name* will be checked.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;9. When editing a comment within its limited editing period, if you change or add *@name*, [the notification may or may not reach the new recipient](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/40989/will-edited-comments-reach-addressees/74781#74781) depending on timing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;10. The first author of the question or answer will always be notified of any new comment. There is no need to use *@name* to notify them. (You may still use it for clarity, if needed; however if only you and the author have been commenting on the post so far, the *@name* will be automatically removed from the beginning of the comment, as it adds no value.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;11. The notification must begin with a space or be at the start of the comment. For example, you [cannot use markup](http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/39/whats-your-favourite-quote-about-programming/1079#comment-19850) such as italics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;12. Single trailing punctuation such as a dot, comma or colon is ignored. Like *@name, yes* works, but *@name... no* does not. (Though a dot is valid in a username, the last dot [is removed for matching](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/75811/using-user-name-colon-to-refer-to-a-user-in-comments/75812#75812). Adding excessive dots is [not supported](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/88631/why-was-i-not-notified/88639#88639).)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;13. The notification only works for the username that [is current](http://chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/481203#481203) at the time the comment is submitted, not any previous username(s) the target may have had.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some examples of supported notifications:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name: some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name. Some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name, some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `some text, @name`&#xD;&#xA;  - `some text, @name, more text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `Some text, @name.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Examples that will **not** trigger notifications:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name...`&#xD;&#xA;  - `abc@name`&#xD;&#xA;  - `*@name*`&#xD;&#xA;  - `*@name:*`&#xD;&#xA;  - `[@name](http://some-url)`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@[name](http://some-url)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/61960/allow-for-comment-reply-to-usernames-with-less-than-three-characters-in-first-wor/75809#75809" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

MWEB stands for &quot;Minimal Working Example with Bibliography&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The bibliography file contains your bibliographical references. If your question is about Bibtex/Biber/Natbib/Biblatex/..., this file may contain valuable information useful to answer it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You should use the [`filecontents`](http://ctan.org/pkg/filecontents) environment in order to produce only one file which contains both your latex document and your bibliography file. This file should be copy-and-pasted inside a [code block](http://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help#code). Having only one file allows us to copy and paste the example to test it in a single action.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Example of MWEB (for BibLaTeX):&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[style=authoryear-comp]{biblatex}&#xD;&#xA;    \addbibresource{\jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;    @book{key,&#xD;&#xA;      author = {Author, A.},&#xD;&#xA;      year = {2001},&#xD;&#xA;      title = {Title},&#xD;&#xA;      publisher = {Publisher},&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \cite{key}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \printbibliography&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some important points:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. You should use `\jobname` instead of a specific .bib file name. In this way, the `filecontents` environment will take the name of the .tex file in order to generate the related .bib file. This practice avoids the accidental overwriting of a named .bib file (people often used to call their bibliographies &quot;bibliography&quot;; a dangerous practice).&#xD;&#xA; 2. This example of MWEB is for BibLaTeX. Adapt it for Natbib/Bibtex/...&#xD;&#xA; 3. The original `filecontents` environment could not be used&#xD;&#xA;before the `\documentclass` declaration. This environment is now allowed anywhere in the document’s preamble; it must be preceded by `\usepackage{filecontents}`, which explicitly removes the original limitation.&#xD;&#xA; 4. Unlike another common thought, you shouldn't use `filecontents*` (note the star) environment. `filecontents*` does not aim to overwrite the file but is designed to remove the mention &quot;[...]generated by the ‘filecontents’ environment[...]&quot; at the top of the file. The new implementation of `filecontents` (which you use when you call the `filecontents` package) automatically overwrites the file if it exists (so that point 1 is important).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Warning&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not paste your entire bibliography inside a `filecontents` environment! You should paste only the problematic references that will demonstrate the problem when the MWEB is processed. Keep in mind to be as minimalistic as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

First, some context; we have&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4541/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4045/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(and more)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This thing is bothering me for some time already, especially after the migration of many users who do more or less exclusively reviewing on the site but not much of actual content contribution. Not that I am dismissing or underestimating the effort that goes in but there is a fine line between having a lust-driven relationship with review buttons and actually reviewing the questions properly (which means once in a while clicking that $%$%^#&amp; **Skip** button if you don't have any idea about the subject). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fun fact; I have tried a few identification experiments such that I found a recently closed question and then voted for reopening (i've chosen closed-with-valid-reasoning ones to maximize the effect) and some users who actually voted for closing also voted for reopening. Now no need for calling names for this but, if you excuse my French, this is bullock-cart-pulling-bullshit (emphasis is mine). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, I don't know why you hang out here but I like being borderline useful while learning a lot. Also, as a recent-beginner of Python and Linux, I really feel the pain of some of the users that ask quick questions with haste because sometimes you really don't know what else to do and having copy/pasted every damn solution on SO or any other place, it quickly becomes a mess. Last thing you need is to put *n*-propeller-powered-jetillion nuances/rituals about what the site rules are or whatever the forum owners' girlfriend implemented somewhere. With a little bit of effort and gentle nudges, most new users give in without any sour feeling and make a MWE, it takes time and patience and we have a lot of it in here. Or had. Now all I see is dictating comments on how things operate here and *if you don't obey my warning, I'll call my mod brother and he'll whoop yo ass.* attitude. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hang on; another thing needs to be out-of-the-way; There are these things called Stackexchange network rules, nobody knows who come up with them and why but in their own environement they make sense (I hope). And through some law-abiding-never-law-questioning citizens of that network we are introduced to these things. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a recent one that claims that I'm not informed well about a site that I'm not even registered see https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, if this means that powers that be actually dictate what we are doing here then, first, it goes against the notion of community-driven Q&amp;A site, second, I am out of this place, in the first instance (which has no impact of course but I'm out anyway). It bears no threat value just my opinion. The reason is that I didn't sign up for this, and truly I don't care what owner of SE network thinks about TeX-SX. All I know is that, there are users who really dedicate their time and patience to come up with the wittiest solutions that we all see and also there are these review-people who click on the buttons like crazy in the name of some obscure nonsense that is maybe applicable to a humongous site that is called Stackoverflow that bares no resemblance to this site, I mean, in any possible statistical aspect. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My argument goes like this; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Our number of question intake is not changing dramatically, so we were OK with not closing every question in 2 hours --&gt; We will be OK without closing them in 2 hours&#xD;&#xA; - Our number of active users is amazing including those review-junkees, even spams don't last longer than a few 5-minutes --&gt; No need to fear about the unanswered/asked ratio, we are doing pretty good without closing them like crazy.&#xD;&#xA; - New users were getting confused already with stock comments --&gt; Now they are more pissed off in average (based on my observation so no facts here) But this question http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/200168/ believe it or not closed twice! Not once. We reopened it David wrote an answer and we closed it again. (The OP mentioned closing already but no we have to be faster, modern world doesn't wait, so in your face noobie, don't come back again)&#xD;&#xA; - The close voters don't read the comments or any discussion going on under the question or answers. To be honest they don't read at all as far as I understand. &#xD;&#xA; - This sucks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These close-voting-users however become the unofficial saint-of-the-noobs when they vote for suggested edits. Suddenly every edit ranging from very good ones to oh-it-was-my-screen-having-dust-not-an-actual-comma type of microscopic edits. All pass with flying colors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Closing remark&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are so eager to contribute, answer dem questions properly. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the spirit of one of the pillars of TeX-SX : https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/12/, **Review Late and Rarely!**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, after all this tasteless rant, here is my actual problem; I'm tired of keeping track of wrongly closed questions or questions with threatening comments under them. I don't know any other way than actually pointing fingers to users which would cause even more bitter taste so question is how can we (assuming that I'm not the only one feeling this strange transition) reach out to these users without creating a primary school level snitching-to-mod game? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I really want to get the attention of those frequent-voting users because I think we can arrive to a better understanding (though it seems difficult if they are high on badges and euphoric on their name up on the The Most Awesome Reviewer list). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Afteredit on an important detail** The reason why I seem to have a tone that targets individuals is because I don't expect the powers-that-be to unimplement this review system anytime soon. So the only way to change this situation is through reviewer behavior. Had this system not in place, they wouldn't be able to vote this quickly and erroneously. Hence while it is true that I speak mostly about reviewers, the target is indirectly and essentially these buttons that amplify and encourage careless reviewing behavior.

The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - scripts packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The question must always be tagged with the magic [meta-tag:community-ads] tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Image requirements&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The image that you create must be **220 x 250 pixels** (or **440 x 500 pixels** [for high-resolution displays][2])&#xD;&#xA; - Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)&#xD;&#xA; - Must be GIF or PNG&#xD;&#xA; - No animated GIFs&#xD;&#xA; - Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Score Threshold&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a **minimum score threshold** an answer must meet (currently **6**) before it will be shown on the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats [here][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/ads/display/5876&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/247063/188148&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/ads/display/5876" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You should look at the question linked and verify that it has an answer to the question being proposed for closure. If it doesn't, it should not be closed as a duplicate. (You can't vote to close questions as duplicates when the proposed target has no upvoted or accepted answer(s).)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I use this approach regularly, since people approach problems from different angles, thereby leading to different questions. However, they're essentially after the same thing, which provides the common answer. Moreover, if others don't share your sentiment they can opt to vote differently; the SE network setup allows for that. ;)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However, this does not seem to be the case here, at TEX.SE.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Are there any, (if so, then what?) technical obstacles in implementing a justified text to a website? One possibility I could think of is that justification might require extra resources (i.e. slows things down).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Are there any typographical reasons against using justified text in online media?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is left-aligned text the *best* choice for an online typographical site, and is this the state-of-the art? There is really nothing better to do? Is the site TEX.SE an *exemplary* online media site, based on its typographical outlook? If the consensus is, that automatic/mandatory justification cannot work, would it be possible to format existing/new posts, where appropriate, to justified text? Would such a feature-request would make any sense, and would anyone actually support such a feature request? Again, it seems to me that the width of the posts and comments are fixed, so window-resizing wouldn't cause things to go crazy.

I'll start with the answer for the benefit of the site.  I think that the ideal new team would comprise of a mix of the pro tem moderators and new moderators.  Unfortunately, we're going from 5 pro tem mods to 3 mods, so even if we had no new people two of the pro tems would have to step down.  (Ideally, I'd go for 4 moderators with 2+2, and while I'm wishing I'd like a pony too).  I consider myself as the least able of the pro tems _in terms of moderating activity_: I've not written any tag wikis, rarely done any tag clean-ups, and when there's a flag then by the time I get there then someone else has almost always taken the appropriate action.  So if there are to be some pro tems in the new team (as I hope that there are), I don't think that I should be one, and I don't want to risk dislodging one of the others or pushing out someone new.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My reason for myself is that I feel I've put quite a bit of time in to this site at the start, and I'm pleased with how it got off the ground (I'm not implying direct causality there!), but now it's time to scale back a bit and be just an ordinary member of the community, just answering questions that catch my interest rather than feeling that I should read most of them.  I'm sure I'll still be as vocal on meta as ever, and hope to be as useful on the main site (I doubt that _all_ the TikZ/PGF questions have been asked yet).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To sum up, what this site needed at the beginning was largely enthusiasm and time.  What it needs now is a broader view of TeX and how this site can benefit the TeX community.  That is something I certainly don't have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew:** I didn't volunteer until now because I consider the pro tem moderators to be doing a great job already, and was kind of hoping they would continue.  Also, I was (perhaps vainly) waiting for someone to bring it up as a possibility.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Stefan:**][1] When there's time given for making important decisions, I tend to use it. Also, I hesitate to speak a lot about myself. Since my feeling clearly says I would like to volunteer, I should write something now. So, see you later on the election page.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Hendrik:**][2] I feel honored that people tried prodding me, and I'm still somewhat tempted to nominate myself, and if it was only for getting the power to edit old comments `:-)` However, my feeling is that being a moderator implicates some responsibility, and at the moment, 1/3 of the responsibility is just too much for me. (By the way, [I _have_ been relatively active on meta.SO recently](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/155585/hendrik-vogt?tab=activity), and I'll probably continue being active there.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Konrad**: Two factors: one, I am currently *very* hard pressed to meet my (extended) deadline for the master thesis.

This is causing a problem for compilation on our two platforms because the syntax for defining matrices in tikz changed slightly from&#xD;&#xA;&gt; version 2.1 to 3.0.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I was thinking to post a link to the first link I made which could also be considered as auto promotion and even more if I made a &quot;real&quot; project on git repository.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to this post [about self promotion][3], the link could be provide if it's a real answer not just a link. But for the second link the answer should be only: &quot;you can use my tools using this link&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the question is how should I deal with this if I make my project real?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/64/tools-for-automating-document-compilation/188627#188627&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/191674/conditional-compilation-of-code-based-on-package-version&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/263018/3559896" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

You can even place a small bounty to rub people the right way into providing a good answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Suggest, approve, edit and extend tag wikis. Some popular tags will certainly appreciate more love.&#xD;&#xA; - Retag (carefully) old questions to better reflect our current tagging policy. (Take it easy though, as retagged questions are bumped to the top of the queue.)&#xD;&#xA; - Improve the formatting of new questions (code, images, links).&#xD;&#xA; - Nag [meta.SO][3] and staff with our favourite [feature-requests][4] and [bugs][5].  For example, if you can suggest a good [404/captcha image][1] (also [on meta][2]). &#xD;&#xA; - Promote the site to attract new users, and by extension, questions.   Some ideas:&#xD;&#xA;   - Run a poll asking &quot;Where did you learn about TeX &amp; Friends?&quot; This is to see whether the website has a sufficient exposure besides the broad SO/SE community. I would guess that basically everybody came from there, which neatly leads to...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   - &quot;Do you have a friend or relative that frequents CTAN mailing list, or an IRC channel dedicated exclusively to LaTeX? Invite them today and win bonus 50 reputation!&quot; (okay, probably without the fake rep award). But you get the idea. There are communities that already serve a similar goal as TeX-SE (I used to ask non-obvious stuff on #latex on irc.freenode.net) Perhaps some of them will be interested to give it a try and see whether they like it.&#xD;&#xA;    - Inexperienced users are also likely to be interested in what we try to do here &amp;mdash; it's no big secret that hunting info on some obscure package/style file, or trying to find a package that &quot;does foo with bar&quot; can be daunting for TeX beginners.   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    - Share a question on Twitter to spread the word.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have more ideas, please share them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5262/competition-time-design-an-error-page/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/656/404-captcha-error-images&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://meta.stackoverflow.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/feature-request&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/bug" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Of course I use it passively from time to time (e.g. to find out how some feature works). To keep up-to-date with recent developments, I regularly read [“Recent feature changes to Stack Exchange”](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/59445/recent-feature-changes-to-stack-exchange) and read the [SX blog](http://blog.stackexchange.com/).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright)** The number of posts on the main SO site and on meta.SO makes it impractical to 'watch' it just to pull out the few things that are relevant to us. I already watch quite a lot of TeX-related places, as well as doing LaTeX programming, and I think that's where I'd rather spend my 'TeX time'. I have taken to reading the [SO blog](http://blog.stackexchange.com/) recently, as there are some useful announcements there: in many ways it acts as a 'filtered' version of meta.SO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Martin Tapankov**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/711/martin-tapankov) I don't check meta.SO often (the signal-to-noise ratio is too low to be of much use), but I'm following the StackOverflow blog for announcements of recent changes. I usually ask support questions in our meta, as well as metas of a few other SE sites.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer):&#xD;&#xA;I'm using meta.SO to check up on changes which affect me and to report issues, like the one about [missing *Sportsmanship* badge](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/961/2975) on the [candidate statistic page](http://se.awio.com/election.html), which got resolved very fast after adding a comment on the [related &quot;answer&quot; on meta.SO](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/75454/moderator-nomination-possibly-useful-statistics/75726#75726).

Of course, moderators should understand the site they are nominally in charge of, but does that really mean involving oneself with the meta.SO site? I check the SO blog once in a while, and if there were some issue that wasn't tex.sx specific I suppose I'd ask it in its rightful place, but other than that, I'll pass.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It's a very friendly place, where we talk about virtually everything - even TeX, sometimes! I decided to give it a try and add a few &quot;extra features&quot; to our chatroom, and the result is presented in this meta thread.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I was planning to implement a bot and find a way to wrap it into the SE infrastructure. Thankfully, there is already a project from [Zirak](http://stackoverflow.com/users/617762/zirak) named [SO-ChatBot](https://github.com/Zirak/SO-ChatBot), a bot written in JavaScript which runs in one's browser session. I played with it a little and decided to tweak it (apart from my lack of JS skills) in order to make it more TeXy. The result is *Psmith*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Introduction&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Psmith* is a SO chatroom bot based on Zirak's original code which runs under my credentials and within my browser session. If I'm not in the room or if I didn't deliberately trigger the startup script, the bot won't respond. I'm in charge of the bot's execution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The name&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We first thought of Jeeves, but it's taken. Then our next attempt was with Wooster, but it wasn't catchy enough. I thought of Jarvis, but it's too Stark-based. `:)` Then Andrew suggested [Psmith](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psmith), and we all approved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Available commands&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our bot recognizes the following commands:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/answer question`: an experimental command where the bot tries to actually answer your question. The database is still tiny, we are working on it.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/basketball`: fetches the last news from basketball and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/battle`: displays and compares the daily reputations of the titans, egreg and David Carlisle.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/choose opt1, opt2, ... , optn`: chooses one of the elements from the given comma-separated list.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/cricket`: fetches the last news from cricket and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/ctan`: displays the last entries available in the official CTAN announcement RSS feed.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/eightball question`: replies the question with a `yes/no` answer.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/fencing`: fetches the last news from fencing and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help`: displays the general help.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help command`: displays the help related to the specific `command` commands.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/list`: lists all the bot's commands.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/reputation userid`: displays the reputation of the user whose id is `userid`&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/song`: list the song _Psmith_'s master, [Paulo](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/3094/paulo-cereda), is currently listening to.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/texdef arguments`: runs Martin Scharrer's amazing [`texdef`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/texdef) tool on the provided parameters.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/translate from lang1 to lang2 text`: translates `text` from `lang1` to `lang2`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Potential issues&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This bot replies under my name, with the **Psmith, the TeX bot** prefix. Most of the commands are asynchronous, so the bot might take a while to answer. If too many requests are made, the bot might flood the chat and I get suspended for spam. `:)` So, take it easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why am I posting this text?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/116589/are-bots-specifically-allowed-or-prohibited-in-stack-exchange-chatrooms&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [...] Finally, a bot will be held against abuse standards just like any other user. If it &quot;behaves&quot; inappropriately, we're not going to like that. This holds both as far as the actual chatting (content/flooding) goes, as well as considering communication with the server (if you poll the server for new messages every 50ms, that's going to get you banned pretty quickly).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; That said, we're all programmers here, and this is the kind of &quot;exercise&quot; we like. So we'll probably not come after you with pitchforks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; But just to make it clear: We can, at any time and with or without any reason, say &quot;We don't want that anymore; turn it off now.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't leave the bot unsupervised, at least for long periods of time. That said, I'm in the chatroom almost 24h/day, and I monitor the bot's activities and replies. I can shutdown the little rascal if needed, at any time and moment. Every command is triggered at my side of the connection, in my machine, including `texdef` running on my TeX distro. In other words, the JS script adds hooks to the messages, intercepts certain patterns and then forwards requests to my local machine for processing. Then, the reply happens as if I were typing that message.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As [balpha](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/115866) said in his reply, it's a good exercise. `:)` Let's see how it goes. If the SO team thinks this is a terrible idea or if it opens a dangerous precedent, by all means, let me know. I can easily shutdown everything, by simply closing my browser. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By the way, thanks to [Aarthi](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/165582) for being so kind in helping me with the procedures to announce the bot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks a lot. `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Today I got curious and went to other big sites on the network, and this site does feel anomalous: the top users on [Super User](https://superuser.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Server Fault](http://serverfault.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) would make 7th and 13th here, despite both sites being [rather older](http://stackexchange.com/sites) and with a higher turnover in terms of questions per day. On sites with a similar age and questions-per-day turnover as Tex.SE such as [Physics](http://physics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Electrical Engineering](http://electronics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all), the top two rows of users have much less reputation than here. You have to go to [Mathematics](http://math.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) to find something comparable, among sites with a similar age, but they're churning through something like seven times as many questions as here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, it's quite possible that in terms of total amounts of reputation things are a bit more in line, but there I don't quite have the statistics chops to make a meaningful comparison. Either way, TeX.SE must either have (a) much more rep (hence also votes) to go around as other comparable sites, or (b) a much more skewed rep distribution curve. [This query](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/206518/reputation-histogram-log-log-scale#graph) sort of vaguely supports the latter but then again you'd have to be quite careful with your comparisons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now, though, I want to ask this community what you think this says about this site. Does this strike you as a reasonable observation? What would you attribute it to?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's a strong emphasis in the responses on the total number of votes, and I don't think I quite buy it. It is [very easy](http://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/492368/total-upvotes-and-downvotes) to query for the total upvotes and downvotes in a site, and the data isn't at all unambiguous. For the comparisons above, it currently looks like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;            TeX.SE   Super User   Server Fault   Physics        EE    Mathematics&#xD;&#xA;      ↑  1,440,460    1,964,282      1,261,362   575,663   466,268      3,511,289&#xD;&#xA;      ↓     17,360      254,889        168,570    91,254    78,871        380,931&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From this, there's a few points worth emphasizing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Compared to sites equivalent in age and current turnover, Physics and Electrical Engineering, TeX.SE does have way more upvotes around.&#xD;&#xA; - Similarly, the downvote count does seem rather low compared to everyone else.&#xD;&#xA; - However, SuperUser has a lot less rep on the top pages than TeX.SE... but it still has sizably more upvotes in the database.&#xD;&#xA; - The site with a comparable leaderboard, Mathematics, has more than twice the total rep.&#xD;&#xA; - While SU and SF do have more downvotes than TeX.SE, the negative effect of downvotes on rep is 1/5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of an upvote, and the count of (upvotes - 0.2 downvotes) for SU is still higher than the total upvotes of TeX.SE.&#xD;&#xA; - That means that explanations along the lines of &quot;we don't downvote&quot; that don't address that ratio have rather low explanatory power.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For me, that says that there also needs to be more concentration of rep on the top tiers, which ties in with (and provides evidence for) https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1867/should-high-rep-users-hang-back-a-little.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, just to be clear,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Yes, rep is just fake internet points and ultimately doesn't matter. However, metrics like these do carry a nontrivial amount of information about each community and they are a reflection of the informal culture in the group.&#xD;&#xA; - Along similar lines, most of the comments saying 'it doesn't matter' and the like seem to come mostly from people whose experience on the SE network is here or on StackOverflow, and who may not be in a position to see just how crazy-high that rep board looks like. Trust me - it's anomalously high, and very much so. Hence this question. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Only applies to other people in the comments that you are commenting on.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  2. Response must include @username that you are referring to, where &quot;username&quot; is a reasonable match to the user's current display name (as seen in the comments above yours).&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  3. There must be a starts-with, case insensitive match of at least THREE characters to the displayname. _UPDATE:_ @ab will _only_ give a match if the third letter of the displayname is a non-letter.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  4. Spaces cannot be used to match, so if the person's display name is &quot;Peter Smith&quot; then just use @peter to match.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  5. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if there are five people named &quot;John&quot; in the comments, writing &quot;hey @john, have you considered apples?&quot; will match the most recent John to comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These older rules don't include some later features: now the look up for names tries to look in more places for a match and tolerates omitted spaces. And: anyone who _edits_ a question or answer is also on the list of people who are considered possible matches for notification. Hence, the official rules, as [described on meta.SO](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1093/make-recent-activity-and-responses-show-new-comments-on-questions-answers-i-have/35913#35913):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;1. Notifications apply to the author, commenters, and [editors](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/36052/allow-post-editor-to-see-comments-directed-at-him/36055#36055) of the question or answer that you are commenting on—users not in that list cannot be notified.  The question and answers are all considered independently.  For example, if Alice was the author of, commented on, or edited the question or her answer, then you cannot notify her by commenting on Bob's answer (unless Alice *also* participated in that answer), and vice versa.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;2. You must include *@name*, where *name* is a reasonable match to a user's current display name.  Users who have not set a display name in their profile are not notified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;3. If the first word in the display name is at least three characters long, then there must be a starts-with, case-insensitive match of at least three characters in the display name.  This means *@a* and *@ab* will never match anyone, [unless][1] a user uses a first word that is only two characters. Like: *@Jo* will notify Jo Miller, but not John, and @B. will notify B. Gates, but not B.Gates. If there are more than three characters in *@name*, then all given characters must match (neither *@alix* nor *@aliceinwonderland* will match user Alice).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;4. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if five people named John are participating, *@john* will match the most recent John. (Use the next rule to differentiate.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;5. Spaces are removed from the display names for matching purposes, so to match Peter Smith you may use *@pet*, *@peter*, *@peters*, or *@petersmith*.  The last two are useful if Peter Jones is also participating. Single quotes, dots, dashes and underscores should [not](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/51911/the-dot-in-username-within-first-3-character-preventing-from-comment-replies/51913#51913) be removed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;6. Special characters [are replaced](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/48968/peter-works-for-peter/49409#49409) with their simple equivalent. To reply to Piëre you can use both *@piëre* and *@piere*. And to reply to Jörg you could use *@jorg*, [but not](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/89051/joerg-works-for-jorg) *@joerg*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;7. Comments containing more than one *@name* [are blocked](https://math.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2094/should-we-discourage-the-user-of-multiple-redundant-username-pings/2615#2615) unless they contain a backtick.&#xD;&#xA;In the latter case, only the first name mentioned using the *@name* syntax will be [notified](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2035/notify-user-when-their-name-is-mentioned-in-comment/35914#35914). For example, *@alice @bob Hi!\`* will notify Alice (if she has participated in that post), but not Bob.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;8. An exception is the case when the first *@name* either matched nobody, or matched the post's author (and thus isn't necessary); in this case, the next *@name* will be checked.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;9. When editing a comment within its limited editing period, if you change or add *@name*, [the notification may or may not reach the new recipient](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/40989/will-edited-comments-reach-addressees/74781#74781) depending on timing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;10. The first author of the question or answer will always be notified of any new comment. There is no need to use *@name* to notify them. (You may still use it for clarity, if needed; however if only you and the author have been commenting on the post so far, the *@name* will be automatically removed from the beginning of the comment, as it adds no value.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;11. The notification must begin with a space or be at the start of the comment. For example, you [cannot use markup](http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/39/whats-your-favourite-quote-about-programming/1079#comment-19850) such as italics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;12. Single trailing punctuation such as a dot, comma or colon is ignored. Like *@name, yes* works, but *@name... no* does not. (Though a dot is valid in a username, the last dot [is removed for matching](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/75811/using-user-name-colon-to-refer-to-a-user-in-comments/75812#75812). Adding excessive dots is [not supported](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/88631/why-was-i-not-notified/88639#88639).)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;13. The notification only works for the username that [is current](http://chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/481203#481203) at the time the comment is submitted, not any previous username(s) the target may have had.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some examples of supported notifications:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name: some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name.

Let me explain why, exactly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After doing an exhaustive search (looking at all posts that match `&gt;\s*!` † anywhere in their entire history) I found that the following posts contain the spoiler syntax.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1.

The results were then checked by hand to find the true matches.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, it is *still* a problem which should be addressed.  I'll touch on why the solutions proposed here are unacceptable, and then go into what has actually been done to alleviate it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Simply turn spoilers off** - this would make Tex.SE's markdown syntax (negatively) distinct from every other SE's.  Assuming non-trivial cross pollination of users (that is, new users who are familiar with some other SE) this is potentially confusing.  Given how rare the &quot;accidental spoiler&quot; problem is, I call this a wash** at best.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Tweak the spoiler CSS** - most obviously, posts would still lose `!` when they tripped over the spoiler syntax which would just lead to more bug reports.  Less obviously, this would be an irreversible change; if spoilers were to become a desired feature (something that can't be discounted, [given][7] [its][8] [popularity][9] [as][10] a [feature-request]), we couldn't re-enable it because doing so would *retroactively* hide text in old posts.  Its worth noting that (in supporting browsers) a user can use User CSS to do this client-side.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;**The only markdown feature not on *everywhere* is LaTeX rendering (which is on for [CSTheory][11], [Math][12], and [Physics][13]).  This is because the [MathJax][14] library is so large (and cpu intesive) that it has a deleterious effect on page load.  It is also &quot;additive&quot; with regards to our baseline markdown, making it less dangerous in my opinion.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ok, now for what has actually been done to mitigate this (already, vanishingly rare) issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the time of the only truly affected post's creation, the preview pane wasn't rendering spoilers.  This could definitely hit TeX harder than other sites, and upon discovering that it (already being [status-planned]) was kicked up on the schedule.  You can go [take a look][15] at the renderer to see why this took a bit, but its out there now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; It should be more or less impossible&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to *accidentally* post a spoiler now,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; as the preview pane will show it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This would still leave the problem of generating a spoiler unintentionally (even though it probably wouldn't go so far as to actually be posted).  So, to mitigate that, the &quot;quote&quot; button on the post editor will no longer generate spoilers***.  This was already pretty tricky to do accidentally, as only very short messages would be placed on a single line in a quote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The quote button will no longer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; produce spoilers, regardless of the length&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of the selected text.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a less technical note, there was some confusion as to how the spoiler syntax actually worked.  *I blame me*.  I thought my [initial post][16] was clear, but then again of course **I** knew how it worked.  Props to [Charles Stewart][17] for drawing my attention to it with his [meta.SO post][18].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The [explanation][19] of the spoiler feature has been improved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;***This is true for all sane input (where sane ~= contains some whitespace).&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TL;DR version&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a vanishingly rare problem, the proposed solutions have downsides out of proportion with what they're trying to solve (especially in light of its rarity), and steps have been taken to mitigate the issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3422/why-is-the-mactex-distribution-so-large-is-there-anything-smaller-for-os-x&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4085/how-can-i-change-the-legends-location-in-a-pgfplot/4134#4134&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4268&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4723&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/posts/7340/revisions&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1191/add-markdown-support-for-hidden-until-you-click-text-aka-spoilers/71396#71396&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1191/add-markdown-support-for-hidden-until-you-click-text-aka-spoilers&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/736/provide-a-markdown-extension-to-hide-text-anti-spoiler&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://rpg.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/192/should-we-worry-about-spoilers/193#193&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://meta.math.stackexchange.com/questions/1349/re-spoiler-space&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: http://cstheory.stackexchange.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: http://math.stackexchange.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: http://physics.stackexchange.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: http://www.mathjax.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://github.com/derobins/wmd&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1191/add-markdown-support-for-hidden-until-you-click-text-aka-spoilers/71396#71396&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/175&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/72877/whats-the-exact-syntax-for-spoiler-markup&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/72877/whats-the-exact-syntax-for-spoiler-markup/72878#72878" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If you don't like typing backticks, you can also highlight the inline code and hit &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt; (or click the &quot;code&quot; button, with &quot;{ }&quot; on it), but this doesn't work in comments. In **questions and answers**, there are only two (quite rare) cases where things might go wrong (see below for backslash escaping of backticks in comments):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. You need a backtick in the inline code. Then you can _either_ use double backticks ` `` ` _or_ &amp;nbsp;`&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`&amp;nbsp; to mark your code. For example, both &#xD;&#xA; - ``` ``\catcode`@=11`` ``` and&#xD;&#xA; - ``&lt;code&gt;\catcode`@=11&lt;/code&gt;``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; give ``\catcode`@=11``. Another example: ``` `` &quot;` `` ``` gives `` &quot;` `` (note the spaces!).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. You want spaces in the beginning and/or the end of the inline code, or you need multiple spaces within. Then you have to use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;`:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;a &amp;nbsp; test&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, which has 3 spaces between &quot;a&quot; and &quot;test&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus, `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` is an alternative for backticks, but it behaves differently: You can use HTML entities such as `&amp;nbsp;` inside. For example, `&lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/code&gt;, whereas `` `&amp;nbsp;` `` gives `&amp;nbsp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a rule of thumb, use `&lt;code&gt;...&lt;/code&gt;` only as a last resort. And then be aware that you can run into trouble if you try to use `&lt;` inside: `&lt;code&gt;a&lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&lt;/code&gt;! The way out: `&lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a&amp;lt;b&lt;/code&gt;. Moreover, `&lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;` gives &lt;code&gt;a &lt; b&lt;/code&gt;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Until 20 February 2011, markdown in **comments** [was quite a hassle](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/168/1235).

If you need a backtick in inline code in a comment, you can (and must) escape it (doesn't work in questions/answers!): `` `\catcode\`@=11` `` gives ``\catcode`@=11``.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. \#2 means that `` `\\` `` will _not_ give `\\` because the second backslash is interpreted as an escape for the subsequent backtick. This can be solved by using double backticks ` `` ` if the inline code ends with a backslash: ` ``\\`` ` gives `\\`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. It is not possible to have spaces in the beginning and/or the end of inline code in comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One more important recent change: Inline code in comments can now be followed by a letter.

But I'd like to see it going further, with positive second derivative as well as first.  What would you like to see the community doing that it isn't currently doing?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (Note that I'm not necessarily asking for what you _yourself_ would do (though you can answer that), but what you would look to encourage the community to do.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright][1]** One area that I think would help the moderators is more voting to close, _etc_., by high-reputation users. The model for SO is that most things happen on a community basis, so as we get more high reputation users then there should actually be _less_ for the moderators to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess one thing I'd want to avoid is 'mission creep'. The SO model works well for what it does: answering specific questions. However, there are other places to hold general discussion or to run a 'curated' FAQ. The {TeX} site is good, but it's not a panacea and I would not like to see this as the _only_ place for TeX-related support.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): The most important part is simply having good answers and easy to find knowledge. Then Google (and so on) will keep new users flowing in. Moderators are playing an important role here (though the majority of the editing/organizing work is of course done by the community as a whole). Improving questions is helping a lot for getting the search engines to find them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Apart from that, I liked some of the ideas discussed in https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/780/how-about-a-featured-tex-post. Featured answers could potentially increase answer quality (simply by pointing out what a good answer looks like) and some typesetting competitions can increase the amount of community involvement (and get some more people to read meta more frequently).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I like the idea of featuring some longer contributions.  Although we're good at answering many questions, we are answering some of them several times (&quot;What is `@` for?&quot;) still and perhaps featuring some of our most popular answers will get those frequently asked questions a bit less frequently asked.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think there should be some more &quot;fun&quot; questions as well, perhaps on meta.  I understand on StackOverflow Fridays are a day to ask more free-form questions and it would be enjoyable to shoot from the hip once in a while.  As long as it's vaguely TeX-related.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have also considered a bit more active recruitment.  Currently our questions are very findable so googlers are reaching us.  But we could also make an effort to invite package developers and mailing lists users to join the site.  I had even proposed a flier or trinket to distribute at meetings where a lot of TeX users attend (e.g., the Joint AMS/MAA Meetings).  Where we would get the funds for that kind of thing is a another question, but it's an idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep** At the moment, the vast majority of questions is about specific, sometimes pressing issues (like &quot;Why is symbol xy not showing up?&quot;). I'd like to see the community ask more questions about broader issues (best practices, pros and cons of different approaches to solve a problem). An excellent example is Seamus' question about [Theorem packages][2]. It probably makes our site more prominent at Google, but above that, it's a great resource for &quot;power users&quot; and developers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** Collaboration. Although CW posts are used sometimes when answering questions (I do when summarizing answers from my questions), it is rare that somebody comes along and decides to edit and append the post instead of adding their own. I understand that people do this out of respect towards others' work (and sometimes to get some rep themselves), but when I mark a post CW, I'd very much like somebody to come along to improve it, if they deem necessary. I think we can do more to promote collaboration on (some aspects of) the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer):&#xD;&#xA;Like Andrew said, the site is already doing very well. In some points it might be (even) better organized. For example I [miss a site-map](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/79977/156875) here which tells you about all the links and pages which exist. Some of them can't even be reached through hyper-links on the site and others are difficult to find.  &#xD;&#xA;Other things were already mentioned, like *tag wikis* and close votes.  &#xD;&#xA;I could also imaging some form of *polls* or *surveys* on meta. On &lt;http://perlmonks.org&gt;, a perl user site similar to SX but written of course in Perl, these surveys are interesting and/or funny. This could be done on Meta quite tidy in one thread (aka question) with small surveys as &quot;answers&quot;. The real survey answers are then pre-defined comments anyone can up-vote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another idea for improvement popped into my mind several times while seeing some bad user code on this side is to create more community wiki pages which describe some common errors and best practices. Maybe an own small version of LaTeX tabu and some small How To's. These pages make then excellent link targets from other questions. Google favors this site and therefore these pages will be found quickly by people which looking for it. In my opinion the community wiki format gives an excellent platform for these kind of shared posts. As moderator I like to encourage the creation and maintenance of these pages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5599/theorem-packages-which-to-use-which-conflict" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm not sure if the tex.sx community is aware of it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It doesn't happen too often on tex.sx, but today it did happen:&#xD;&#xA;TH saved an edit of [this question](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/9517/1235) with the time stamp `2011-01-23 02:11:49`; then lockstep saved an edit with the time stamp `2011-01-23 02:12:01`, so 12 seconds later. Both edits were to mark a code sample; TH's edit actually involved one more change than lockstep's, but this got overwritten by lockstep's edit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To make things worse, I made another edit (hours later). _Why worse?_ &amp;nbsp;There's a little known (I believe) feature on stackexchange that [frequent edits of a post make it CW](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/11740/what-are-community-wiki-posts/11741#11741), namely 5 edits by different users or 10 edits by the OP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So having multiple users edit one and the same post has two downsides: 1. Only the edits of the user who save his edits last take effect; thus the effort of the other users is wasted. 2 There's the danger of making a question CW shortly after it has been posted (so far not a great danger on tex.sx).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is already [some warning implemented](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1577/notifications-for-concurrent-changes-when-editing-posts/28119#28119), but this doesn't seem to suffice.

When I hit the &quot;edit&quot; button shortly (let's say &lt;5 minutes) after another user, the system shows a message like&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   &gt; Another user may currently be editing this post. Do you want to proceed?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   (Very similar to [this proposal](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/73924); should the name of the other user(s) be given?).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. When I hit the &quot;Save Edits&quot; button, the system shows a message like&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   &gt; Another user has edited this post while you were editing. If you proceed to save your edits, his edits will be lost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   (This could still be improved a lot, see e.g. [this old suggestion](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1577/notifications-for-concurrent-changes-when-editing-posts/1625#1625), but my present proposal would be simpler to implement.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Maybe my points 1. and 2. could/should both be implemented?

This auto-indents the highlighted code by 4 spaces (and also adds the empty lines in the beginning and in the end).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;_See below for code blocks in lists and blockquotes._&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Syntax highlighting ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By default, your code gets some LaTeX syntax highlighting. (This doesn't work on meta.tex.sx, so unfortunately you can't see it here.) If you _don't_ want this syntax highlighting, you can use a special HTML comment to specify the language. For _no highlighting_, use&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;        (J:\MiKTeX2.9\tex\latex\elsarticle\elsarticle.cls&#xD;&#xA;        Document Class: elsarticle 2009/09/17, 1.2.0: Elsevier Ltd&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(You wouldn't want `\MiKTeX` to be highlighted as a control sequence, right?) Note that the HTML comment must _not_ be indented, and that the blank line between the `&lt;!-- language: ... --&gt;` and the indented code block is _required_. For a list of supported languages have a look here: [Manually specify language for syntax highlighting](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/78363/manually-specify-language-for-syntax-highlighting/81971#81971).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Emphasizing pieces of the code ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want to highlight parts of your code using **bold** or _slanted_ text, or if you want to &lt;s&gt;strike something out&lt;/s&gt;, you have to use the HTML `&lt;pre&gt;` tag instead of 4 space indentation. For example,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;gives&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;\documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;\usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Note that the `&lt;pre&gt;` and `&lt;/pre&gt;` tags [should be on separate lines](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/84290/can-the-pre-tag-start-in-a-new-line-possible-previewer-bug/99600#99600), without indentation.)&#xD;&#xA;For striking something out, use `&lt;s&gt;...&lt;/s&gt;`.&#xD;&#xA;Using just `&lt;pre&gt;` you don't get syntax highlighting, so you can use this as an alternative to `&lt;!-- language: lang-none --&gt;`. Be careful, however, to use `&amp;lt;` and `&amp;gt;` if you want `&lt;` and `&gt;` in `&lt;pre&gt;` blocks; you may also need `&amp;amp;` for `&amp;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want syntax highlighting _and_ additional emphasis in **bold** or _slanted_, use `&lt;code&gt;` inside the `&lt;pre&gt;` block:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;code&gt;\documentclass[paper=a5,&lt;i&gt;pagesize&lt;/i&gt;]{scrbook}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage&lt;b&gt;[draft]&lt;/b&gt;{graphicx}&lt;/code&gt;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that there are no line breaks after `&lt;code&gt;` and before `&lt;/code&gt;`; otherwise the code block would start and end with an empty line (as the second code block in this very answer).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Code blocks in lists ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If your code appears inside a list, you must indent a _further four spaces_ for every level of nesting. An example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    1. The first point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;            This is the code&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    1.

The second point I want to make&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So you need 8 spaces in the first level, 12 spaces in the second level and so on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Code blocks after lists ##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you want a code block immediately _after_ a list, you [need to put an HTML comment](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3327/code-block-is-not-properly-formatted-when-placed-immediately-after-a-list-item/99637#99637) between the list and the code block:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    1.

I guess it is pretty self-explanatory. I usually have a look at the recently migrated questions (because they often need attention), the new tags (because they are often an indication of mis-tagging) and negatively voted questions. You can click on the triangles to expand the lists (this of course also applies to the other pages).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **migrated**: A list of all migrated questions. For the current amount of migrated questions per day the list on the stats page is long enough. So this page is pretty useless most of the time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **close**: Lists recent close/open votes and recently closed/reopened questions. I usually go through this list once a day and add my vote to any questions that I think should be closed (or sometimes a comment that I disagree with the votes). This makes it more likely that a question that should be closed gets five votes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **delete**: Same as the close list, but for deleting questions (once a question has been closed for two days, you can vote to delete them). The page also lists answers deleted by mods, but does not list questions an answers deleted by their owners. I usually find this page pretty useless (though it is probably more valuable on bigger sites).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **flags**: Lists posts that have been flagged by users or by the system. You can go through the list and add your own flags. On this page (and only here) you can also flag a flag as invalid. Adding additional flags can help the moderators to prioritize they actions (though this is way more important on bigger sites than on TeX.sx). Also SPAM posts are deleted automatically when they accumulate enough flags. The page doesn't list flags by moderators and non-specific flags (the 'other' flag) and once you took some action on a flag, the system won't show you that flag anymore.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    For posts automatically flagged by the system it might be possible to improve the post or at least add a comment to inform the user of best practices on SE sites.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **links**: This once had a lot more pages linked than it has now. There is a link to a list of past suggested edits, which can be interesting if you want to look something up (e.g. if you suspect some strange edit pattern), but isn't that useful otherwise. There is also an (experimental?) page that show some stats about [feedback by anonymous users and users that aren't yet allowed to vote](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/98630/anonymous-user-feedback-now-in-testing). Doesn't seem to be particularly useful at the moment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In addition to the above pages, the 10k tools menu bar also links to `/review`, but I think that page is accessible to all users. 10k users also get notified on the top bar of any pending suggested edits."

It's a very friendly place, where we talk about virtually everything - even TeX, sometimes! I decided to give it a try and add a few &quot;extra features&quot; to our chatroom, and the result is presented in this meta thread.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I was planning to implement a bot and find a way to wrap it into the SE infrastructure. Thankfully, there is already a project from [Zirak](http://stackoverflow.com/users/617762/zirak) named [SO-ChatBot](https://github.com/Zirak/SO-ChatBot), a bot written in JavaScript which runs in one's browser session. I played with it a little and decided to tweak it (apart from my lack of JS skills) in order to make it more TeXy. The result is *Psmith*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Introduction&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Psmith* is a SO chatroom bot based on Zirak's original code which runs under my credentials and within my browser session. If I'm not in the room or if I didn't deliberately trigger the startup script, the bot won't respond. I'm in charge of the bot's execution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The name&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We first thought of Jeeves, but it's taken. Then our next attempt was with Wooster, but it wasn't catchy enough. I thought of Jarvis, but it's too Stark-based. `:)` Then Andrew suggested [Psmith](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psmith), and we all approved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Available commands&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our bot recognizes the following commands:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/answer question`: an experimental command where the bot tries to actually answer your question. The database is still tiny, we are working on it.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/basketball`: fetches the last news from basketball and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/battle`: displays and compares the daily reputations of the titans, egreg and David Carlisle.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/choose opt1, opt2, ... , optn`: chooses one of the elements from the given comma-separated list.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/cricket`: fetches the last news from cricket and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/ctan`: displays the last entries available in the official CTAN announcement RSS feed.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/eightball question`: replies the question with a `yes/no` answer.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/fencing`: fetches the last news from fencing and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help`: displays the general help.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help command`: displays the help related to the specific `command` commands.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/list`: lists all the bot's commands.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/reputation userid`: displays the reputation of the user whose id is `userid`&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/song`: list the song _Psmith_'s master, [Paulo](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/3094/paulo-cereda), is currently listening to.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/texdef arguments`: runs Martin Scharrer's amazing [`texdef`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/texdef) tool on the provided parameters.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/translate from lang1 to lang2 text`: translates `text` from `lang1` to `lang2`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Potential issues&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This bot replies under my name, with the **Psmith, the TeX bot** prefix. Most of the commands are asynchronous, so the bot might take a while to answer. If too many requests are made, the bot might flood the chat and I get suspended for spam. `:)` So, take it easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why am I posting this text?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/116589/are-bots-specifically-allowed-or-prohibited-in-stack-exchange-chatrooms&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [...] Finally, a bot will be held against abuse standards just like any other user. If it &quot;behaves&quot; inappropriately, we're not going to like that. This holds both as far as the actual chatting (content/flooding) goes, as well as considering communication with the server (if you poll the server for new messages every 50ms, that's going to get you banned pretty quickly).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; That said, we're all programmers here, and this is the kind of &quot;exercise&quot; we like. So we'll probably not come after you with pitchforks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; But just to make it clear: We can, at any time and with or without any reason, say &quot;We don't want that anymore; turn it off now.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't leave the bot unsupervised, at least for long periods of time. That said, I'm in the chatroom almost 24h/day, and I monitor the bot's activities and replies. I can shutdown the little rascal if needed, at any time and moment. Every command is triggered at my side of the connection, in my machine, including `texdef` running on my TeX distro. In other words, the JS script adds hooks to the messages, intercepts certain patterns and then forwards requests to my local machine for processing. Then, the reply happens as if I were typing that message.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As [balpha](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/115866) said in his reply, it's a good exercise. `:)` Let's see how it goes. If the SO team thinks this is a terrible idea or if it opens a dangerous precedent, by all means, let me know. I can easily shutdown everything, by simply closing my browser. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By the way, thanks to [Aarthi](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/165582) for being so kind in helping me with the procedures to announce the bot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks a lot. `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Thanks for that!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most likely, not all of these things will apply to your question, so just pick what does apply. However, it is advised that you provide the community with something that will reproduce the problem in the easiest way possible. Typically this requires code that starts with `\documentclass` and ends with `\end{document}` (if using LaTeX). It will allow readers to copy-and-paste-and-compile your code and see exactly what problems you might be experiencing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What follows below are snippets of code; **bad** references imply that it should typically not be used, as it may not be part of the problem, while **good** references make suggestions that should be used instead. Note that these snippets should still form part of a larger, `\documentclass`...`\end{document}` structure as mentioned above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Document Class&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{MyUniversitysThesisClass}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Using a non-standard document class? Does your problem still show up with `article`? Then **use `article`**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Document Class Options&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass[12pt, a5paper, final, oneside, onecolumn]{article}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Using any options for your document class? Does your problem still show up without them?

Great habit, but usually not necessary in a MWE – **get rid of them**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Loading Packages&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{a4wide}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{amsmath, amsthm, amssymb}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{url}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[algoruled,vlined]{algorithm2e}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[ngerman, american]{babel}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{booktabs}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{units}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{makeidx}&#xD;&#xA;      \makeindex  &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{color}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{colortbl}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{epstopdf}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{rotating}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    % Assuming your problem is related e.g. to the rotation of a figure, you might need:&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{rotating}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You’ve developed an awesome template with lots of helpful packages? Does your problem still show up if you remove some or even most of them? Then **get rid** of those that **aren’t necessary for reproducing the problem**. (If you should later find out that another package is complicating the situation, you can always ask another question or edit the existing question.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In most cases, even packages like `inputenc` or `fontenc` are not necessary in MWEs, even though they are essential for many non-English documents in “real” documents.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Images&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{graphs/dataset17b.pdf}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[demo]{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    ....&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{graphs/dataset17b.pdf}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{mwe} % just for dummy images&#xD;&#xA;    ....&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{example-image}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your problem includes **an image**? Does your problem show up with any image? Then use the **option `demo`** for the package `graphicx` – this way, other users who don’t have your image file won’t get an error message because of that. If you prefer an actual image that you can rotate, stretch, etc., use the **[`mwe`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/mwe) package**, which provides a number of dummy images, named e.g. `example-image`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Text&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    In \cite{cite:0}, it is shown that $\Delta \subset {U_{\mathcal{{D}}}}$. Hence &#xD;&#xA;    Y. Q. Qian's characterization of conditionally uncountable elements was a &#xD;&#xA;    milestone in constructive algebra. Now it has long been known that there exists &#xD;&#xA;    an almost everywhere Clifford right-canonically pseudo-integrable, Clairaut &#xD;&#xA;    subset \cite{cite:0}. The groundbreaking work of J. Davis on isomorphisms was a &#xD;&#xA;    major advance. In future work, we plan to address questions of uniqueness as &#xD;&#xA;    well as degeneracy. Thus in \cite{cite:0}, the main result was the &#xD;&#xA;    classification of meromorphic, completely left-invariant systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{lipsum} % just for dummy text&#xD;&#xA;    ...&#xD;&#xA;    \lipsum[1-3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Foo bar baz.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need a **few paragraphs of text** to demonstrate your problem? Use a package that produces **dummy text**. Popular choices are [`lipsum`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/lipsum) (plain paragraphs) and [`blindtext`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/blindtext) (can produce entire documents with section titles, lists, and formulae).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need just a **tiny amount of text**? Then keep it maximally simple; avoid formulae, italics, tables – anything that’s not essential to the problem. Popular choices for dummy words are `foo`, `bar`, and `baz`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Bibliography Files&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;      @book{Knu86,&#xD;&#xA;        author = {Knuth, Donald E.},&#xD;&#xA;        year = {1986},&#xD;&#xA;        title = {The \TeX book},&#xD;&#xA;      }&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents*}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \bibliography{\jobname} % if you’re using BibTeX&#xD;&#xA;    \addbibresource{\jobname.bib} % if you’re using biblatex&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need a **.bib file** to reproduce your problem? Use a maximally simple entry embedded in a **`filecontents` environment** in the preamble. During the compilation, this will create a .bib file in the same directory as the `.tex` file, so users compiling your code only need to save one file by themselves.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another option for `biblatex` would be to use the file [`biblatex-examples.bib`][1], which should be installed with `biblatex` by default. You can find it in `bibtex/bib/biblatex/`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Data&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### －－ Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Never* include data as an image.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Number of points    Values&#xD;&#xA;    10                   100&#xD;&#xA;    20                   400&#xD;&#xA;    30                  1200&#xD;&#xA;    40                  2345&#xD;&#xA;    etc...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents*}{data.txt}&#xD;&#xA;    Number of points, Values&#xD;&#xA;    10, 100&#xD;&#xA;    20, 400&#xD;&#xA;    30, 1200&#xD;&#xA;    40, 2345&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents*}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Including the data as part of the MWE makes the example portable as well. Of course, the input may differ depending on what package you use to manage the data (some require CSV, some don't).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Formatting your code&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Formatting of code](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/formatting) is done using Markdown. See the relevant FAQ https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1192.

The regular daily reputation cap applies, and the total cap is 1,000. Like any other reputation, the +2 is deleted if the edited post is ever deleted.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - When a suggested edit is rejected, no penalty is given.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A quick aggregation of [your reputation](http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/13907/papiro?tab=reputation) lists at least 484 edits still &quot;visible&quot; from non-deleted posts (out of around 579 post-related reputation earnings). While 484 visible, approved Suggested Edits drops you back to earning *only* 968 reputation, you may have reached the 1,000 rep-cap over all time (512 approved + 484 visible - 500 maximum ~ 500 posts = 1,000 reputation). Once you've reached this, there's no more bonuses from Suggested Edits.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is just my guess... `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;While this may seem anti-climatic, continue to help improve the site!&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/sub&gt;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If some (other/the majority of) users designate the post as off-topic without specifying an appropriate migration path, then the post might end up as &quot;Off topic&quot; *without* being migrated, even though you voted/requested it. Why would this happen? This may be due to a number of things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Vote-to-close voters are not familiar with TeX.SE and therefore do not know that it will most likely be on-topic here;&#xD;&#xA;2. There's a lot of noise on [StackOverflow](http://www.stackoverflow.com) due to its broad scope, and being the catch-all Stack Exchange site.

The procedure is explained well over there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why is your comment(s) removed during the migration? This is the default setup (I've learned): Any comments with TeX.SE-related links will be removed when migrating to TeX.SE. I think the most likely reason for this is because of the common &quot;This is better-suited on [TeX.SE](http://tex.stackexchange.com)&quot; comment, which becomes obsolete at the time of migration. So, a blanket rule in this regard was probably the easiest option.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Knowing the above, I usually follow these guidelines:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Flag as &quot;Other&quot; with the comment &quot;Migrate over to TeX.SE&quot;. This ensures that a moderator will look at the flag (I'm assuming), which could speed up and hopefully ensure migration.&#xD;&#xA;2. Don't leave a comment stating that it belongs somewhere else (TeX.SE), since many users would then repost here, causing cross-network duplicates.

Immediately. However, there is a bounty of knowledge already present on this site. Search for it using the best [ninja skills](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching) you have possible. Only then post a question.  For [not-so-new users](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/chat), the [chat room](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41/tex-latex-and-friends) is also a good place to hash out ideas about questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Duplication is fine if it turns out that the problem can be approached from different angles. Your question (even though it is a duplicate) may be the landing place for others searching for similar solutions. Questions marked as a duplicate will have their duplicate targets clearly listed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Include a [minimal working example (MWE)](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764) so that the actual problem can be replicated by the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Since we're not sitting next to you and a post is the only way you can communicate the problem, a MWE is like a picture... and worth a thousand words. Remember to keep it *minimal*. How do you know when something is minimal or not? Remove stuff until the problem is not reproducible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Write a descriptive (yet short) title&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; A title saying &quot;How do I fix this error&quot; doesn't help any future visitors who search this site. Like any search engine, question titles are included in the search results, together with snippets of text/code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; So, while &quot;How do I fix this error&quot; may mean something to *you* at the time of posting the question, you should...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ...have the bigger picture in mind - the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; The community is here to help you, so try to put yourself in their shoes when you post. Can they readily reproduce my problem? Have I given clear instruction as to what I'm after? Do I have an [XY problem](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2449/5764)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Include references and pictures&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; A reference to a different question will show that you've done some research or tried other avenues (perhaps you'd like to ask a [follow-up question](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2117/5764)). Pictures of the output (expected or actual) give most members an immediate take on what's going on. Again, a picture is worth more than a bunch of sentences. We have guidelines on [how to include images in posts](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2136/5764) - new users should follow the same procedure but remove the preceding `!` (markdown inserted to denote a picture). [*Janitors*](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/edit) will be able to rectify this and fully embed the image.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Mark your code properly&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; There's an [FAQ on how to mark your code](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/863/5764) using markdown. It improves readability.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Tag like a boss&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; We have many house-keepers in this community, all of whom try to keep up with ordering things on this site. Tags are important for that. And, as [you may have noticed](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching), searching based on tags (using `[&lt;tag&gt;]`) can help narrow your searching to find what you're looking for.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Be specific&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Think of the answer you require when formatting the question. As a reference, see https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3446/5764.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Other/related references:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [How to ask a smart question](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/18584/168244)&#xD;&#xA;- https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1852/5764&#xD;&#xA;- https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2766/5764&#xD;&#xA;- [Stack Overflow question checklist](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/156810/168244)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Answers:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Search first&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Yes, some questions are duplicates. If they're found, flag a question or directly [close it as a duplicate](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/view-close-votes).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Don't post link-only answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; These are better-suited as a comment, since it defers reputation to the intended posts (not yourself). Sure, link to other posts that support or confirm some of your suggestions/usages, but keep in mind that your answer should *add value* to the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Code-only answers are not *that* awesome.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; New users sometimes have a lacking ability to interpret code-only answers. It helps if there are explanatory discussions around why certain things were done.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Other/related references:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [How do I write a good answer to a question?](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/7656/168244)&#xD;&#xA;- https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2695/5764&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xqk4x.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/AVCVk.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Would this also become a possible feature request?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- When you increase an existing bounty, how does that affect the existing bounty? Do you extend the bounty period anew to the traditional 7-day tenure or does it stay the same?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Do you notify the community of such a change in bounty by bumping the question to Top Questions list or not? If not, how would an increase in bounty attract more attention to the question?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Does the new bounty only affect new answers, or does it also pertain to answers that existing during the first (lower) bounty? Here's a question with some reference to that: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2124/5764&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Would an increase be allowed arbitrarily (from 100 to 150 rep, say) or should it adhere to the doubling of the current system (from 100 to 200, say)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sure, all of the above points may have valid and justifiable answers.

This will raise a few question: here I want to focus specifically the 'off-topic' closure reason.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The 'off-topic' closure reason is being expanded, meaning that we will be able to have one or more custom sub-reasons for closure. The idea is that these can reflect 'local practice' on each site. The example we are given here is for the cooking site:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Recipe requests are off-topic, although recipe replacements, _etc._ are allowed&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;_i.e._ this might look on-topic to the 'passing' user, but the community there have decided they don't answer such question, which makes it 'off-topic'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Worth noting here is that 'too localized' is being removed as a close reason. That's because it was _meant_ to really apply to very localized issues, but is used by many sites to mean 'other things'. So it's _possible_ we may want to have some 'off-topic' reasons that would have previously been 'too localized'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We don't have to have pre-defined reasons, and I understand that you will be able to leave a free-form comment when voting to close as off-topic. However, we _may_ want some boilerplate text for common cases. We also don't have to decide on everything now: reasons can be added/deleted/edited as we go along.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Answers ideally should contain one piece of text plus an explanation of why it's useful. It will be handy to have those explanations available longer-term. Based on voting, the mods can then use the text(s) selected in the new box.

If you ask at least one well-received question in a [UTC day](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/62853/168244) and none of your questions that day are deleted, downvoted, or closed, you get one more day of credit toward the badge. Whenever the badge criteria is checked, previous asking days are re-evaluated so that there's an incentive to fix downvoted and/or closed questions. The no-deleted-questions criteria is to prevent people from asking several questions at once and deleting any that aren't upvoted or answered to ask another day.

If you ask one that hits that trifecta, you'll need to ask three better questions to dig yourself out. For example, if 12 questions of a user were closed and 12 deleted out of a total of 44 questions, their score would not meet the criteria:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt;     (44 - 0 - 12 - 12) / 44 = 0.4545...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; The takeaway is that people can't sweep past indiscretions under the rug by deleting them.

I've already [asked about the generic text](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3632/text-for-off-topic-closure) and for some [predefined off-topic close reasons](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3608/new-close-reasons-selecting-predefined-off-topic-options). However, I think I at least didn't quite see _how_ this was going to work. So I'd like to ask about this again, but with a better understanding of how things are 'supposed' to work and with more background.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Background&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The idea of the new 'off-topic' approach is that the person who asked the question gets 'concrete' feedback on why their particular question was closed. This is made clear in a [meta post giving moderators advice](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/184637/what-do-site-moderators-need-to-do-to-support-the-new-custom-question-close-reas/185097), which says (amongst many things)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;At a bare minimum, **off-topic reasons should identify a _specific_ topic considered inappropriate**. If you're struggling to be specific, find an example of a question that is off-topic and discuss the factors that make it inappropriate for the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see, the 'Powers' are after specifics rather than a more general 'this is one of the things we don't do' answer. (In the mod chat room, it was also suggested that a list of 'please do not ask about ...' in the help would be useful.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Mechanism&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The mechanism which has been set up gives us broadly three possibilities within the 'off-topic' closure reason:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Vote to close for a _specific_ predefined reason&#xD;&#xA; 2. Vote to migrate to another site&#xD;&#xA; 3. Vote to close and give a free-text reason for the vote&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If someone has already used option (3), later voters will see this reason as an option, too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The concept is then that as long as at least two people vote in the same way, a specific reason is given for closure. If all of the votes are different, then the question gets the default text, currently&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This question does not appear to be about TeX, LaTeX or related typesetting systems, within the scope defined in the [help center](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So changing that is actually not so useful: it's only really meant to pop up in a small number of cases where there's no agreement on why something is off-topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##What we need to do&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two things we need to do if this is going to work. Here, I want to focus on one of them: deciding on up to three pre-defined 'off-topic' reasons. We also need to 'fix' migration paths (they've all vanished), but I will address that separately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see in the [guidance for moderators](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/184637/what-do-site-moderators-need-to-do-to-support-the-new-custom-question-close-reas/185097), the suggestion is to come up with a list of common reasons for closure, and create texts for these which include guidance for the questioner. I guess one reason per answer would be best as we can then vote on them. Following the model suggested by the 'Powers', I think some form of link to a meta question or similar, which 'expands' on why a question is off-topic, might be useful within each text.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Notes&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The way the 'Powers' see off-topic, reasons here might cover things we've previously closed in other ways.  At the same time, it may also be the case that there are alternative approaches to different cases. Some examples:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - A [question on meta.SO](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/186366) asked about questions which turn out to be typos in the input. The suggestion there is that such questions should be flagged for deletion, as they are not really useful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Questions which turn out to require a package update could reasonably be answered rather than being closed at all. It's arguable that these may actually be pretty general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Out-and-out bug reports could be added to the help as a 'do not ask about' point, as well as potentially having a custom close reason.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Over time, we can of course alter what reasons we feel are 'most common'. So the list will not be set in stone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The 'custom text' closure reason&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's worth noting that the 'Other (add a comment explaining what is wrong)' sub-choice for off-topic is meant to enable us to give a _specific_ reason for closing a question. For example, rather than just&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &gt; your question is off topic&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;you can imagine saying (for a hypothetical example)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &gt; While _using_ or _understanding_ the Knuth-Plass algorithm in TeX is on-topic, implementing the algorithm in Python (or any other programming language) is not, as it requires general programming expertise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other people can then vote for this specific and (hopefully) useful text."

SE policies and even internal consensuses seem to not be clearly communicated to users here on TeX.SE (two technically incorrect comments both received upvotes) (This btw is a larger problem with a couple of other communities as well, however this is one of the oddest cases I have found)&#xD;&#xA; 2. The fact that moderators haven't intercepted here to enforce the consensus on this and other answers by Barbara despite this seeming to happen on other answers written by her as well (invalid roll backs linking to the consensus, but looking at the accepted answer rather than the highest voted answer). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And just for the record, I am perfectly fine if you guys want to change StackExchange policy or mass vote now on the relevant meta question and redefine this specific consesus.

This created a _lot_ of discussion, but the network staff ('Powers') are sticking to it. The logic is something like this: TL was far from the most common close reason, and was used for issues well beyond what it was originally intended for, which was really _localized_ issues that _no-one else would ever see_. It's that last bit that's important: for example, we (usually) haven't answered questions that come down to 'my installation is messed up', but that applies to more than one person. Thus the message from above is that these things are off-topic, in the sense that if a site doesn't answer questions on X then they are closed for scope reasons even if X seems to be a _prima facia_ fit for the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that questions closed with a no answer and a low number of votes and views are likely to be removed by the 'garbage collector' system. That applies whether closed as the old TL or using off topic. So in the longer term it probably makes little odds." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This permanently skips the post (you won't see it in the same review queue again) and is useful if you're not sure what to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Each user has their own copy of the queue — if you review a post in a queue, it is not necessarily removed from that queue for other users. It gets removed for all users after a few more reviews by other users (the exact amount depends upon the queue and review action done).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Badge-hunters may be prone to falsely review posts in these queues without really considering their content. This despite there being mention of the &quot;skip&quot; button &quot;if you're not sure what to do&quot;.

However, it may reflect the reversal of votes (and therefore also reputation) of previous days.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, assume user ABC serially voted on your post on two separate days. X reputation on day one, and Y reputation on day two (let Z = X + Y). On day three, the reversal detection algorithm is ran ([every night around 03:00 UTC](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/126829/168244)) and finds Z reputation is suspect and should be reversed. StackExchange's reversal doesn't remove X from day one and Y from day two. Instead it's *sufficient* to leave the reputation for days one and two untouched, but remove Z from day three. Quoting from [What is serial voting and how does it affect me?](https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/126857/168244):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Whenever serial voting gets reversed, all days involved in the serial voting will be recalculated as if the serial votes had never happened, and any reputation you might have lost due to those serial votes hitting the reputation cap will be given to you at that time. Serial voters will not prevent you from gaining reputation that you deserve.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The mention here of reputation is only for what is lost (through down-votes), not gained. You only gained reputation (through up-votes) and therefore there is no reflection of reputation change other than the combined serial upvoting reversal.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would assume the problems associated with this approach is fairly minimal.

The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - scripts packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**.

The logic to the cross-network posting rule is that each site has a scope and that a 'good' question should be clearly on-topic for one of the sites and thus most likely to get answered in one place. Posting in multiple places is then viewed as likely to simply cause duplication of effort and to potentially fragment useful information. &#xD;&#xA;The StackExchange network policy in part reflects the 'outlook' of the senior staff/owners, who have a particular vision for how it can contribute to knowledge on the internet. The question is whether their logic (and thus guideline) applies to cross-posting in 'other places', for example Usenet, forums, mailing lists, _etc._, and if so what is the correct response.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Usually, questions are cross-posted because the asker wants to maximise the likelihood of obtaining a (useful) reply. Many 'regulars' here also read/post to 'other places', and so know that cross-posting is not necessarily likely to reach a significantly-larger audience of 'experts' than a single post is. On the other hand, I think many less experienced TeX users do not know that. Thus cross-posting is not a deliberately obstructive action: it reflects the needs/desires of the askers. Thus I think a response here should reflect that: be helpful to the questioner while recognising that duplicated effort does no-one any favours.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd therefore suggest that the approach already adopted on [The LaTeX Community](http://latex-community.org/) is not a bad one: politely ask that cross-posts are noted, say as a comment on a question. That makes it more likely that the question will eventually be answered at both ends: someone answering in one place can also answer in the other. Worth noting is that the network approach is that answers here should be 'self-contained', and thus an answer simply pointing out that a cross-post is answered will need to be expanded.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

That site will also have an FAQ to explain how things work. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Individual users who don’t want to participate, don’t want to see hats, and/or are generally anti-hat will have an “I hate hats” option available. And just like last time, at the end of the event, all hats will go back into storage. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only visual change to the Stack Exchange sites themselves will be the presence of the hats and the “I hate hats” button in the footer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/R61FX.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I also found these questions on the topic:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3587/how-to-choose-between-two-equally-good-and-equally-helpful-answers/3588#3588&#xD;&#xA; - https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3176/choosing-to-accept-between-an-answer-that-helped-me-the-most-and-a-more-popular&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So it seems that more people encounter situations where there is not a single answer that they deem worth accepting. I just had such a situation in http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/281426/define-macro-for-sequence-list-tuple-macros where I tried to solve that by accepting one answer and editing the question to explicitly mention another answer that was very useful to me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I think in such a situation it would actually be more suitable to accept more than one answer. So here comes my feature request:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Would it be possible to accept more than one answer and distribute the 15 reputation points among the accepted answers at the discretion of the questioner?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That would also give a natural limit for when an answer by several people should be made a community wiki (i.e., at the latest when more than 15 people are involved).

As Jon Skeet mentions in [his blog entry](http://codeblog.jonskeet.uk/2010/08/29/writing-the-perfect-question/): &quot;When a reader first sees your question, they’re likely to be scrolling down a list of snippets. The most eye-catching part of the snippet will be the title – so use that text wisely.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The Stack Exchange network accommodates for this type of community behaviour. If something you changes doesn't suit the needs, it can be rolled back or re-edited.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm in favour of adapting post titles to something more suitable for searching.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Meta.SE](http://meta.stackexchange.com) reference: https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/18584/168244" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As such, we can now restart the Community Promotion Ads for 2016!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keep in mind, we have updated some of the guidelines compared to previously - the changes are marked in bold in the Image Requirements section.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### What are Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - scripts packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The question must always be tagged with the magic [meta-tag:community-ads] tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Image requirements&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The image that you create must be **300 x 250 pixels**, or double that if high DPI.&#xD;&#xA; - Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)&#xD;&#xA; - Must be GIF or PNG&#xD;&#xA; - No animated GIFs&#xD;&#xA; - Absolute limit on file size of **150 kB**&#xD;&#xA; - **If the background of the image is white or partially white, there must be a 1px border (2px if high DPI) surrounding it.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Score Threshold&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a **minimum score threshold** an answer must meet (currently **6**) before it will be shown on the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats [here][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/ads/display/6473" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Specifically there are small things that could be fine-tuned in terms of a Gantt chart, and without those specifics people will end up answering the question in its current and possibly be bombarded with additional fine-tuning requests...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Close as **primarily opinion-based**, since theoretically one can accomplish it in many ways. But using `pgfgantt` seems to be the &quot;consensus&quot;, not an opinion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would say no here, just because it's very broad. Perhaps there might be some overlap, but I don't think the question is posed in such a way that &quot;it solicits primarily opinion-based answers&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Close as **duplicate**, to &quot;http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/63877/5764&quot;. This is subtle. Can we mark questions as duplicate just because they have the same answer?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Most certainly!](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/6458/5764) The [Guidelines for reviewing Close Votes](https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/180032/168244) mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Remember we are asking whether an [*answer* is found at the duplicate-linked question](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/166514/183887) moreso than whether the questions are identical. You should look at the question linked and verify that it has an answer to the question being proposed for closure. If it doesn't, it should not be closed as a duplicate. (You can't vote to close questions as duplicates when the proposed target has no upvoted or accepted answer(s).)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I use this approach regularly, since people approach problems from different angles, thereby leading to different questions. However, they're essentially after the same thing, which provides the common answer. Moreover, if others don't share your sentiment they can opt to vote differently; the SE network setup allows for that. ;)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Please only put your guess in the body of the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Guesses will be checked every couple of days and the winner will be announced within a few days after.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can sign the book at your request.

Is it possible to capture this through some statistic or visually through graphs?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Certainly! There is a host of information available through the [SEDE](http://data.stackexchange.com). This post is meant to collate some of the discussions contained within https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1849/5764 as a showcase of the community's behaviour on an annual basis. For those interested in contributing statistics, considering adding an answer to the linked post.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please provide an answer in the form of a [SEDE](http://data.stackexchange.com) query and if not, explain in as much detail as possible the type of statistic you'd like to see. Consult the [Database schema documentation for the public data dump and SEDE](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/2677/168244) for information on the variables and content. Well-formed constructions will make its way into this post's answer section shortly after New Year.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The idea is to highlight activity of the *community* and not to isolate *individual* behaviour (although this may be the case naturally when it comes to &quot;outlier users&quot; - like those with *highest reputation*, for example). This is not an absolute rule; exclusions may apply.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;###Examples of good inquiries/statistics:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- What is the total number of badges awarded by class over time?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; This statistic attempts to see whether merit (through posts, say) and participation (through moderation, say) act similarly. Does this change over time?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Is there a better time to post a question based on community activity?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Facebook is a good example of this, where posts aired at the time when most of your friends &quot;wake up&quot; (in the morning, hopefully) receives far more attention than those posted when everyone's asleep.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;###Examples of bad inquiries/statistics:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- When will *I* receive my next `&lt;type&gt;` badge? Or, what badges will *I* receive next?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; This statistic is specific to an individual (again, exclusions may apply...) or doesn't attempt to address *community* behaviour.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- What time of day do most community members vote?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Voting is (and always will be) anonymous. One way of protecting this anonymity is by removing time-stamps from votes in the SEDE (keeping only date-stamps). As such, it's not possible to ascertain this effectively."

It's very easy to ask a question (good or bad), but it's not always easy to write a good answer. The SE reputation system subjectively supports this approach by awarding only +5 reputation for an upvote to a question, but +10 for an upvote to an answer. Moreover, question can be downvoted without loss of reputation to the voter. Perhaps the motivation here is that the answer(s) have more value than the question. Of course, this is not a universal acceptance, since we have some good questions on this site, but that should be a consideration.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Good](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask) [questions](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/18584/168244) require a combination of things, including (but not limited to)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. a [good title](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/10647/168244); &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. a show-of-effort that possibly [reproduces the problem](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764); &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. suggested attempts at fixing it (if possible);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. images showing the expected output (if possible); and&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. a consideration for the community and future visitors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are my motivations behind the above:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The title is important, as it draws the first attention from visitors. Don't use something like &quot;ToC problem&quot; or &quot;Help needed please&quot; or anything that doesn't provide a *succinct* description of the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; If you don't have a good title, it might not show up as expected in search, and users might not even click on the post when they see it in search results. It's like having a house without a proper address associated with; you won't get many visitors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. When answering a question I don't want to recreate the wheel from scratch. I don't want to copy a code-snippet and spend even 5 minutes trying to wrap it into something that is compilable. I really don't and it's not necessary. That is something that the OP should do, because for them it is super-easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Similar to walking into a big room full of clutter with a lonely light in the middle. Invariably, while I'm walking towards the light to understand what's going on, I'm *unnecessarily* tripping on other things inside the room. Providing the community with a well-lit room makes the problem so much easier to absorb. Copy-and-paste-and-compile and tadaa. Done. To me that shows that the OP took the time to present the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Surely not everyone enjoys fixing things, and would much rather just scream &quot;Fix it for me.&quot; That's okay and [it can become a nuisance](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/172758/168244) to request this with every post. However, if you show an attempt to fix it, it also highlights what your train-of-thought is, which could benefit from some explanation in an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. An image shows me a 1,000 words without typing it. Even if you create something in MS Word/LibreOffice (because of ease-of-use, say), then it's better than 5 paragraphs of textual positioning and fine-tuning. It makes the consumption of information just so much more fluent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. Even though you may have a problem that needs fixing *right this very minute*, your post forms part of a community of knowledge. So, consider that when you ask a question, and incorporate all of the above suggestions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &lt;sub&gt;Previously questions that were so specific and/or didn't show much community traction in terms of usefulness, may have been  closed as &quot;Too localized&quot;.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Voting is very subjective and should therefore not be considered too personally.

For some, it may be&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ...[all] about the points...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;but for others it's not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Voters could be more prone to voting for certain people rather than the type of post. Sometimes you want to vote without reading the post (question or answer), but because of a previous record from that specific user.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I occasionally use a very literal interpretation of the voting buttons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Upvote: This [post] shows research effort; is useful and clear&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Downvote: This [post] does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If any of these motivations are not met adequately, then I might abstain from voting and consider my contribution neutral (even if I answered).

They provide multiple landing points for visitors seeking a very similar solution. That's correct: Different questions leading to the same solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Perhaps someone is asking for the sum 12+15 while someone else is interested in finding the product 3×9. The example may seem trivial, but the principle carries through to a large number of possible duplicates. To rephrase while voting to close Q1 as a duplicate of Q2 doesn't necessarily mean that Q1 is asking the same as Q2. They may be asking for entirely different things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Based on the above idea, I think about what would be required for an answer, and search for that.

Note the search specifically includes a reference to **answers only**. Searching through the first page reveals [Changing color of text snippet in a `verbatim` environment](http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/91261/5764) which provides a viable solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keys to finding duplicates include:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Being patient (not just writing up a solution because you know the answer);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Searching and perhaps refining this search using some [ninja search options](http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Switching to Google to search for solutions specific to [TeX.SE](http://tex.stackexchange.com) by adding the search term `site:tex.stackexchange.com`.

I think comment moderation is mostly a waste of time. I'd much rather let the system handle comments. Unfortunately, there are already so many comments that should have been edits (or even answers) instead that we can't blindly hide/delete old comments.

Comment moderation is tedious and unrewarding so I'd rather have our top users do something more productive with their time.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Closing argument: If you really feel an answer of a new-user is better-suited as a comment, make a comment in that regard and flag it for moderator attention.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;Note that your request here speaks to the design of the user experience and is therefore not really limited to this site.

Users will be able to see all the hats they've earned on http://winterbash2016.stackexchange.com. That site will also have an FAQ to explain how things work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Individual users who don’t want to participate, don’t want to see hats, and/or are generally anti-hat will have an “I hate hats” option available. And just like last time, at the end of the event, all hats will go back into storage.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only visual change to the Stack Exchange sites themselves will be the presence of the hats and the “I hate hats” button in the footer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/nx0i9.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However, there are many good questions that would be well served by a community wiki list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See the meta.SO questions [what are community wiki posts][7] and [ when to mark the community wiki checkbox on a new question][8] &#xD;&#xA;for the official stance on CW posts - The MO community takes a slightly different approach here, which is OK, but we need to decide for this site.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Relevant to this question are the following excerpts (But you should read the whole thing):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Community Wiki posts help enhance the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; wiki aspect of the site. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The site is supposed to have a wiki type aspect - Every question does not have a single correct answer!  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; They make the post easier to edit and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; maintain by a wider group of users &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;CW posts can require maintenance, as a list would.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The FAQ says, &quot;this is a place for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; questions that can be answered&quot;, but&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it doesn't forbid questions which have&#xD;&#xA;&gt; more than one answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;List questions inherently have more than one answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I think that we should allow wiki-type (aka &quot;summary of information&quot;) posts, because &quot;wiki&quot; is an element of StackExchange:  &#xD;&#xA;![Venn diagram w/ blog, wiki, forum, reddit][9]  &#xD;&#xA;* = StackExchange&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/966/which-electronics-components-should-i-always-have-on-hand&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/3161/long-lasting-electronics-items&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/3501/what-is-a-general-set-of-components-for-a-robotics-hacker&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/869/personal-electronics-tool-kit&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/3382/what-equipment-for-electronics-should-i-always-have-on-hand&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/3644/best-electronic-kits&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/11740/&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/55888&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: http://sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/venn-diagram.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Only applies to other people in the comments that you are commenting on.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  2. Response must include @username that you are referring to, where &quot;username&quot; is a reasonable match to the user's current display name (as seen in the comments above yours).&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  3. There must be a starts-with, case insensitive match of at least THREE characters to the displayname. _UPDATE:_ @ab will _only_ give a match if the third letter of the displayname is a non-letter.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  4. Spaces cannot be used to match, so if the person's display name is &quot;Peter Smith&quot; then just use @peter to match.&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  5. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if there are five people named &quot;John&quot; in the comments, writing &quot;hey @john, have you considered apples?&quot; will match the most recent John to comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These older rules don't include some later features: now the look up for names tries to look in more places for a match and tolerates omitted spaces. And: anyone who _edits_ a question or answer is also on the list of people who are considered possible matches for notification. Hence, the official rules, as [described on meta.SO](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1093/make-recent-activity-and-responses-show-new-comments-on-questions-answers-i-have/35913#35913):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;1. Notifications apply to the author, commenters, and [editors](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/36052/allow-post-editor-to-see-comments-directed-at-him/36055#36055) of the question or answer that you are commenting on—users not in that list cannot be notified.  The question and answers are all considered independently.  For example, if Alice was the author of, commented on, or edited the question or her answer, then you cannot notify her by commenting on Bob's answer (unless Alice *also* participated in that answer), and vice versa.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;2. You must include *@name*, where *name* is a reasonable match to a user's current display name.  Users who have not set a display name in their profile are not notified.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;3. If the first word in the display name is at least three characters long, then there must be a starts-with, case-insensitive match of at least three characters in the display name.  This means *@a* and *@ab* will never match anyone, [unless][1] a user uses a first word that is only two characters. Like: *@Jo* will notify Jo Miller, but not John, and @B. will notify B. Gates, but not B.Gates. If there are more than three characters in *@name*, then all given characters must match (neither *@alix* nor *@aliceinwonderland* will match user Alice).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;4. Matching is performed in reverse chronological order, so if five people named John are participating, *@john* will match the most recent John. (Use the next rule to differentiate.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;5. Spaces are removed from the display names for matching purposes, so to match Peter Smith you may use *@pet*, *@peter*, *@peters*, or *@petersmith*.  The last two are useful if Peter Jones is also participating. Single quotes, dots, dashes and underscores should [not](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/51911/the-dot-in-username-within-first-3-character-preventing-from-comment-replies/51913#51913) be removed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;6. Special characters [are replaced](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/48968/peter-works-for-peter/49409#49409) with their simple equivalent. To reply to Piëre you can use both *@piëre* and *@piere*. And to reply to Jörg you could use *@jorg*, [but not](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/89051/joerg-works-for-jorg) *@joerg*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;7. Comments containing more than one *@name* [are blocked](https://math.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2094/should-we-discourage-the-user-of-multiple-redundant-username-pings/2615#2615) unless they contain a backtick.&#xD;&#xA;In the latter case, only the first name mentioned using the *@name* syntax will be [notified](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2035/notify-user-when-their-name-is-mentioned-in-comment/35914#35914). For example, *@alice @bob Hi!\`* will notify Alice (if she has participated in that post), but not Bob.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;8. An exception is the case when the first *@name* either matched nobody, or matched the post's author (and thus isn't necessary); in this case, the next *@name* will be checked.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;9. When editing a comment within its limited editing period, if you change or add *@name*, [the notification may or may not reach the new recipient](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/40989/will-edited-comments-reach-addressees/74781#74781) depending on timing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;10. The first author of the question or answer will always be notified of any new comment. There is no need to use *@name* to notify them. (You may still use it for clarity, if needed; however if only you and the author have been commenting on the post so far, the *@name* will be automatically removed from the beginning of the comment, as it adds no value.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;11. The notification must begin with a space or be at the start of the comment. For example, you [cannot use markup](https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/39/whats-your-favourite-quote-about-programming/1079#comment-19850) such as italics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;12. Single trailing punctuation such as a dot, comma or colon is ignored. Like *@name, yes* works, but *@name... no* does not. (Though a dot is valid in a username, the last dot [is removed for matching](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/75811/using-user-name-colon-to-refer-to-a-user-in-comments/75812#75812). Adding excessive dots is [not supported](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/88631/why-was-i-not-notified/88639#88639).)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;13. The notification only works for the username that [is current](http://chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/481203#481203) at the time the comment is submitted, not any previous username(s) the target may have had.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some examples of supported notifications:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name: some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name. Some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name, some text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `some text, @name`&#xD;&#xA;  - `some text, @name, more text`&#xD;&#xA;  - `Some text, @name.`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Examples that will **not** trigger notifications:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  - `@name...`&#xD;&#xA;  - `abc@name`&#xD;&#xA;  - `*@name*`&#xD;&#xA;  - `*@name:*`&#xD;&#xA;  - `[@name](http://some-url)`&#xD;&#xA;  - `@[name](http://some-url)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/61960/allow-for-comment-reply-to-usernames-with-less-than-three-characters-in-first-wor/75809#75809" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Today I got curious and went to other big sites on the network, and this site does feel anomalous: the top users on [Super User](https://superuser.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Server Fault](https://serverfault.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) would make 7th and 13th here, despite both sites being [rather older](http://stackexchange.com/sites) and with a higher turnover in terms of questions per day. On sites with a similar age and questions-per-day turnover as Tex.SE such as [Physics](http://physics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Electrical Engineering](http://electronics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all), the top two rows of users have much less reputation than here. You have to go to [Mathematics](http://math.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) to find something comparable, among sites with a similar age, but they're churning through something like seven times as many questions as here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, it's quite possible that in terms of total amounts of reputation things are a bit more in line, but there I don't quite have the statistics chops to make a meaningful comparison. Either way, TeX.SE must either have (a) much more rep (hence also votes) to go around as other comparable sites, or (b) a much more skewed rep distribution curve. [This query](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/206518/reputation-histogram-log-log-scale#graph) sort of vaguely supports the latter but then again you'd have to be quite careful with your comparisons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now, though, I want to ask this community what you think this says about this site. Does this strike you as a reasonable observation? What would you attribute it to?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's a strong emphasis in the responses on the total number of votes, and I don't think I quite buy it. It is [very easy](http://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/492368/total-upvotes-and-downvotes) to query for the total upvotes and downvotes in a site, and the data isn't at all unambiguous. For the comparisons above, it currently looks like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;            TeX.SE   Super User   Server Fault   Physics        EE    Mathematics&#xD;&#xA;      ↑  1,440,460    1,964,282      1,261,362   575,663   466,268      3,511,289&#xD;&#xA;      ↓     17,360      254,889        168,570    91,254    78,871        380,931&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From this, there's a few points worth emphasizing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Compared to sites equivalent in age and current turnover, Physics and Electrical Engineering, TeX.SE does have way more upvotes around.&#xD;&#xA; - Similarly, the downvote count does seem rather low compared to everyone else.&#xD;&#xA; - However, SuperUser has a lot less rep on the top pages than TeX.SE... but it still has sizably more upvotes in the database.&#xD;&#xA; - The site with a comparable leaderboard, Mathematics, has more than twice the total rep.&#xD;&#xA; - While SU and SF do have more downvotes than TeX.SE, the negative effect of downvotes on rep is 1/5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of an upvote, and the count of (upvotes - 0.2 downvotes) for SU is still higher than the total upvotes of TeX.SE.&#xD;&#xA; - That means that explanations along the lines of &quot;we don't downvote&quot; that don't address that ratio have rather low explanatory power.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For me, that says that there also needs to be more concentration of rep on the top tiers, which ties in with (and provides evidence for) https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1867/should-high-rep-users-hang-back-a-little.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, just to be clear,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Yes, rep is just fake internet points and ultimately doesn't matter. However, metrics like these do carry a nontrivial amount of information about each community and they are a reflection of the informal culture in the group.&#xD;&#xA; - Along similar lines, most of the comments saying 'it doesn't matter' and the like seem to come mostly from people whose experience on the SE network is here or on StackOverflow, and who may not be in a position to see just how crazy-high that rep board looks like. Trust me - it's anomalously high, and very much so. Hence this question. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Let me explain why, exactly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After doing an exhaustive search (looking at all posts that match `&gt;\s*!` † anywhere in their entire history) I found that the following posts contain the spoiler syntax.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1.

The results were then checked by hand to find the true matches.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, it is *still* a problem which should be addressed.  I'll touch on why the solutions proposed here are unacceptable, and then go into what has actually been done to alleviate it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Simply turn spoilers off** - this would make Tex.SE's markdown syntax (negatively) distinct from every other SE's.  Assuming non-trivial cross pollination of users (that is, new users who are familiar with some other SE) this is potentially confusing.  Given how rare the &quot;accidental spoiler&quot; problem is, I call this a wash** at best.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Tweak the spoiler CSS** - most obviously, posts would still lose `!` when they tripped over the spoiler syntax which would just lead to more bug reports.  Less obviously, this would be an irreversible change; if spoilers were to become a desired feature (something that can't be discounted, [given][7] [its][8] [popularity][9] [as][10] a [feature-request]), we couldn't re-enable it because doing so would *retroactively* hide text in old posts.  Its worth noting that (in supporting browsers) a user can use User CSS to do this client-side.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;**The only markdown feature not on *everywhere* is LaTeX rendering (which is on for [CSTheory][11], [Math][12], and [Physics][13]).  This is because the [MathJax][14] library is so large (and cpu intesive) that it has a deleterious effect on page load.  It is also &quot;additive&quot; with regards to our baseline markdown, making it less dangerous in my opinion.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ok, now for what has actually been done to mitigate this (already, vanishingly rare) issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the time of the only truly affected post's creation, the preview pane wasn't rendering spoilers.  This could definitely hit TeX harder than other sites, and upon discovering that it (already being [status-planned]) was kicked up on the schedule.  You can go [take a look][15] at the renderer to see why this took a bit, but its out there now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; It should be more or less impossible&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to *accidentally* post a spoiler now,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; as the preview pane will show it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This would still leave the problem of generating a spoiler unintentionally (even though it probably wouldn't go so far as to actually be posted).  So, to mitigate that, the &quot;quote&quot; button on the post editor will no longer generate spoilers***.  This was already pretty tricky to do accidentally, as only very short messages would be placed on a single line in a quote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The quote button will no longer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; produce spoilers, regardless of the length&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of the selected text.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a less technical note, there was some confusion as to how the spoiler syntax actually worked.  *I blame me*.

Today I got curious and went to other big sites on the network, and this site does feel anomalous: the top users on [Super User](https://superuser.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Server Fault](https://serverfault.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) would make 7th and 13th here, despite both sites being [rather older](http://stackexchange.com/sites) and with a higher turnover in terms of questions per day. On sites with a similar age and questions-per-day turnover as Tex.SE such as [Physics](http://physics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Electrical Engineering](http://electronics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all), the top two rows of users have much less reputation than here. You have to go to [Mathematics](https://math.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) to find something comparable, among sites with a similar age, but they're churning through something like seven times as many questions as here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, it's quite possible that in terms of total amounts of reputation things are a bit more in line, but there I don't quite have the statistics chops to make a meaningful comparison. Either way, TeX.SE must either have (a) much more rep (hence also votes) to go around as other comparable sites, or (b) a much more skewed rep distribution curve. [This query](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/206518/reputation-histogram-log-log-scale#graph) sort of vaguely supports the latter but then again you'd have to be quite careful with your comparisons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now, though, I want to ask this community what you think this says about this site. Does this strike you as a reasonable observation? What would you attribute it to?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's a strong emphasis in the responses on the total number of votes, and I don't think I quite buy it. It is [very easy](http://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/492368/total-upvotes-and-downvotes) to query for the total upvotes and downvotes in a site, and the data isn't at all unambiguous. For the comparisons above, it currently looks like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;            TeX.SE   Super User   Server Fault   Physics        EE    Mathematics&#xD;&#xA;      ↑  1,440,460    1,964,282      1,261,362   575,663   466,268      3,511,289&#xD;&#xA;      ↓     17,360      254,889        168,570    91,254    78,871        380,931&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From this, there's a few points worth emphasizing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Compared to sites equivalent in age and current turnover, Physics and Electrical Engineering, TeX.SE does have way more upvotes around.&#xD;&#xA; - Similarly, the downvote count does seem rather low compared to everyone else.&#xD;&#xA; - However, SuperUser has a lot less rep on the top pages than TeX.SE... but it still has sizably more upvotes in the database.&#xD;&#xA; - The site with a comparable leaderboard, Mathematics, has more than twice the total rep.&#xD;&#xA; - While SU and SF do have more downvotes than TeX.SE, the negative effect of downvotes on rep is 1/5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of an upvote, and the count of (upvotes - 0.2 downvotes) for SU is still higher than the total upvotes of TeX.SE.&#xD;&#xA; - That means that explanations along the lines of &quot;we don't downvote&quot; that don't address that ratio have rather low explanatory power.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For me, that says that there also needs to be more concentration of rep on the top tiers, which ties in with (and provides evidence for) https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1867/should-high-rep-users-hang-back-a-little.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, just to be clear,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Yes, rep is just fake internet points and ultimately doesn't matter. However, metrics like these do carry a nontrivial amount of information about each community and they are a reflection of the informal culture in the group.&#xD;&#xA; - Along similar lines, most of the comments saying 'it doesn't matter' and the like seem to come mostly from people whose experience on the SE network is here or on StackOverflow, and who may not be in a position to see just how crazy-high that rep board looks like. Trust me - it's anomalously high, and very much so. Hence this question. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Touchstack was originally intended to be a smartphone web client for Stack Exchange sites (using the API), but I ended up rushing it out so I could show it to a few people. I posted it on Stack Apps as a work in progress, intending to update it over the next few days and bring in a *lot* of features that were missing. It so happened attribution was one of the key things that was missing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As per life, I ended up moving onto other projects (amongst schoolwork, university application etc, arguably much more important) and completely forgot about Touchstack. Then SE mobile shipped, and any impetus I had for working on anything to do with Touchstack was long gone. Attribution was somewhere in a long list of forgotten updates for the project.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Needless to say, since an official version of mobile SE was released there is little-to-no point of Touchstack - it's just wasting Heroku's resources. I was going to leave it to rot once the domain expired in May, and so instead of updating it now, I'd rather just kill it off.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So yes, I'm sorry for misusing your content without correct attribution.

We want to keep the answer space reserved for actual answers, so this non-answer will be removed from public view soon.&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ###Code blocks and inline code&#xD;&#xA;    A tip: If you [indent lines by 4 spaces](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1192) or [enclose words in backticks `\``](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/863), they'll be marked as code, as can be seen in my edit.

This ensures that all images are always accessible and do not expire. As new user without image posting privileges simply include the image as normal and remove the `!` in front of it to turn it into a link. A moderator or another user with edit privileges can then reinsert the `!` to turn it into an image again.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    ###Migrated Question&#xD;&#xA;    Your question was migrated here from another stackexchange site. Please register on this site, too, and make sure that both accounts are associated with each other, otherwise you won't be able to comment on or accept answers or edit your question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The script now supports also a custom welcome message. To change it click on &quot;Welcome&quot; at the lower right. The normal welcome message for new users is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    [Welcome to TeX.sx!](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1436) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note the trailing space which is required.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/x5463.png&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Let me explain why, exactly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After doing an exhaustive search (looking at all posts that match `&gt;\s*!` † anywhere in their entire history) I found that the following posts contain the spoiler syntax.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1.

The results were then checked by hand to find the true matches.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, it is *still* a problem which should be addressed.  I'll touch on why the solutions proposed here are unacceptable, and then go into what has actually been done to alleviate it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Simply turn spoilers off** - this would make Tex.SE's markdown syntax (negatively) distinct from every other SE's.  Assuming non-trivial cross pollination of users (that is, new users who are familiar with some other SE) this is potentially confusing.  Given how rare the &quot;accidental spoiler&quot; problem is, I call this a wash** at best.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Tweak the spoiler CSS** - most obviously, posts would still lose `!` when they tripped over the spoiler syntax which would just lead to more bug reports.  Less obviously, this would be an irreversible change; if spoilers were to become a desired feature (something that can't be discounted, [given][7] [its][8] [popularity][9] [as][10] a [feature-request]), we couldn't re-enable it because doing so would *retroactively* hide text in old posts.  Its worth noting that (in supporting browsers) a user can use User CSS to do this client-side.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;**The only markdown feature not on *everywhere* is LaTeX rendering (which is on for [CSTheory][11], [Math][12], and [Physics][13]).  This is because the [MathJax][14] library is so large (and cpu intesive) that it has a deleterious effect on page load.  It is also &quot;additive&quot; with regards to our baseline markdown, making it less dangerous in my opinion.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ok, now for what has actually been done to mitigate this (already, vanishingly rare) issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the time of the only truly affected post's creation, the preview pane wasn't rendering spoilers.  This could definitely hit TeX harder than other sites, and upon discovering that it (already being [status-planned]) was kicked up on the schedule.  You can go [take a look][15] at the renderer to see why this took a bit, but its out there now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; It should be more or less impossible&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to *accidentally* post a spoiler now,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; as the preview pane will show it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This would still leave the problem of generating a spoiler unintentionally (even though it probably wouldn't go so far as to actually be posted).  So, to mitigate that, the &quot;quote&quot; button on the post editor will no longer generate spoilers***.  This was already pretty tricky to do accidentally, as only very short messages would be placed on a single line in a quote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The quote button will no longer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; produce spoilers, regardless of the length&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of the selected text.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a less technical note, there was some confusion as to how the spoiler syntax actually worked.  *I blame me*.  I thought my [initial post][16] was clear, but then again of course **I** knew how it worked.  Props to [Charles Stewart][17] for drawing my attention to it with his [meta.SO post][18].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The [explanation][19] of the spoiler feature has been improved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;***This is true for all sane input (where sane ~= contains some whitespace).&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TL;DR version&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a vanishingly rare problem, the proposed solutions have downsides out of proportion with what they're trying to solve (especially in light of its rarity), and steps have been taken to mitigate the issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3422/why-is-the-mactex-distribution-so-large-is-there-anything-smaller-for-os-x&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4085/how-can-i-change-the-legends-location-in-a-pgfplot/4134#4134&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4268&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4723&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/posts/7340/revisions&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1191/add-markdown-support-for-hidden-until-you-click-text-aka-spoilers/71396#71396&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1191/add-markdown-support-for-hidden-until-you-click-text-aka-spoilers&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/736/provide-a-markdown-extension-to-hide-text-anti-spoiler&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://rpg.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/192/should-we-worry-about-spoilers/193#193&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://meta.math.stackexchange.com/questions/1349/re-spoiler-space&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://math.stackexchange.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: http://physics.stackexchange.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: http://www.mathjax.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://github.com/derobins/wmd&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1191/add-markdown-support-for-hidden-until-you-click-text-aka-spoilers/71396#71396&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/175&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/72877/whats-the-exact-syntax-for-spoiler-markup&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/72877/whats-the-exact-syntax-for-spoiler-markup/72878#72878" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Today I got curious and went to other big sites on the network, and this site does feel anomalous: the top users on [Super User](https://superuser.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Server Fault](https://serverfault.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) would make 7th and 13th here, despite both sites being [rather older](http://stackexchange.com/sites) and with a higher turnover in terms of questions per day. On sites with a similar age and questions-per-day turnover as Tex.SE such as [Physics](http://physics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Electrical Engineering](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all), the top two rows of users have much less reputation than here. You have to go to [Mathematics](https://math.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) to find something comparable, among sites with a similar age, but they're churning through something like seven times as many questions as here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, it's quite possible that in terms of total amounts of reputation things are a bit more in line, but there I don't quite have the statistics chops to make a meaningful comparison. Either way, TeX.SE must either have (a) much more rep (hence also votes) to go around as other comparable sites, or (b) a much more skewed rep distribution curve. [This query](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/206518/reputation-histogram-log-log-scale#graph) sort of vaguely supports the latter but then again you'd have to be quite careful with your comparisons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now, though, I want to ask this community what you think this says about this site. Does this strike you as a reasonable observation? What would you attribute it to?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's a strong emphasis in the responses on the total number of votes, and I don't think I quite buy it. It is [very easy](http://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/492368/total-upvotes-and-downvotes) to query for the total upvotes and downvotes in a site, and the data isn't at all unambiguous. For the comparisons above, it currently looks like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;            TeX.SE   Super User   Server Fault   Physics        EE    Mathematics&#xD;&#xA;      ↑  1,440,460    1,964,282      1,261,362   575,663   466,268      3,511,289&#xD;&#xA;      ↓     17,360      254,889        168,570    91,254    78,871        380,931&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From this, there's a few points worth emphasizing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Compared to sites equivalent in age and current turnover, Physics and Electrical Engineering, TeX.SE does have way more upvotes around.&#xD;&#xA; - Similarly, the downvote count does seem rather low compared to everyone else.&#xD;&#xA; - However, SuperUser has a lot less rep on the top pages than TeX.SE... but it still has sizably more upvotes in the database.&#xD;&#xA; - The site with a comparable leaderboard, Mathematics, has more than twice the total rep.&#xD;&#xA; - While SU and SF do have more downvotes than TeX.SE, the negative effect of downvotes on rep is 1/5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of an upvote, and the count of (upvotes - 0.2 downvotes) for SU is still higher than the total upvotes of TeX.SE.&#xD;&#xA; - That means that explanations along the lines of &quot;we don't downvote&quot; that don't address that ratio have rather low explanatory power.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For me, that says that there also needs to be more concentration of rep on the top tiers, which ties in with (and provides evidence for) https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1867/should-high-rep-users-hang-back-a-little.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, just to be clear,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Yes, rep is just fake internet points and ultimately doesn't matter. However, metrics like these do carry a nontrivial amount of information about each community and they are a reflection of the informal culture in the group.&#xD;&#xA; - Along similar lines, most of the comments saying 'it doesn't matter' and the like seem to come mostly from people whose experience on the SE network is here or on StackOverflow, and who may not be in a position to see just how crazy-high that rep board looks like. Trust me - it's anomalously high, and very much so. Hence this question. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Mine, and caramdir's.  I think it's fairly indisputable that mine is the better answer (at least, now that I've edited it to contain the explanation).  But caramdir's adds a small, but significant, modification that I overlooked.  It's actually not directly referred to in the question, but the mathematician in me screams out that the _true_ answer ought to include caramdir's addition.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As it stands, both have gotten about the same number of votes.  My gut feeling is that my answer ought to be accepted (assuming that an answer is to be accepted) and there the matter should stand.  My reasoning being that someone reading the answers should read _all_ the answers and notice caramdir's addition.  However, I have a feeling that the SO route is that the accepted answer should be complete and that it should not be _necessary_ to read the other answers (though of course it's a good idea).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is that correct?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If so, what is the correct etiquette here?  I could incorporate caramdir's addition (with attribution) in to my own with the simple addition of a '%' (it appears that the debate as to whether &quot;blank comment lines&quot; are [evil](http://ncatlab.org/show/evil) or not does not involve caramdir and that caramdir, from the first comment, regards the two answers as synonymous at least as regarding the implementation of the solution).  If I do this, should it be CW as, technically, more than one person contributed to it (I would regard this as somewhat extreme since tracking down and properly crediting the true source of many answers would be a Herculean task!)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I actually would prefer to be able to leave things as they stand (possibly with mine accepted).  I would read that as saying &quot;Here's the answer, but the other highly voted answers might add some additional information that is worth reading.&quot;.  Thus answers are not in _competition_ with each other, but each is voted as to its merits in and of itself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(While I'm talking about that particular question; I really hope that the two answers are not being used as a contest to decide whether it's best to remove blank lines or insert %s.

It looked easy enough to do, so I figured I'd try to augment the answer with such.  It was a bit long for a comment, so I left it as an additional answer (making it clear, I hope, that it was based on the original answer).  In working out the MWE, I did add one minor bit of information (a recommendation to use the latest version of one of the packages).  As I see it, I had the following options here:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Leave a comment asking the original answerer to add a MWE&#xD;&#xA;2. Edit that answer including the MWE&#xD;&#xA;3. Do as I did (leaving a separate answer), but make my answer CW&#xD;&#xA;4. Do as I did (leaving a separate answer)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Obviously, the best situation is where the original answerer includes a MWE _in the first place_, so this is in the situation where that hasn't happened.  Here's my thoughts on my options:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. This puts the onus on the original answerer to make it clearer.  I'd rather have the convention that _any_ information is potentially useful and that people should not feel that they have to put in a MWE - I think that making this a _de facto_ requirement will put people off answering.  Of course, it's _desirable_, but we want the &quot;barrier to entry&quot; to be as low as possible.  In this case, working out a MWE was fairly simple.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. I think that this is actually the ideal situation and is what I would like the convention to be.  However, given that people tend to be a bit possessive of their answers, I'm hesitant to promote this as a first line.  Perhaps a combination of this and the above: leave a comment saying, &quot;Do you mind if I add a MWE to your answer?&quot;.  The problem with this (and answer 1) is that it puts a delay in the system.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3 and 4 are pretty similar.  The issue here is in deciding when a fresh answer adds sufficient information to warrant it not being CW.  Perhaps doing a MWE is enough to warrant the extra credit since it can take a few minutes to iron out the wrinkles, or figure out the dependencies.  I'm not sure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Certainly, I'd like the environment here to be such that we do take a look at people's answers and look for ways to tweak them to be better; but I would like it to be the case that that is interpreted as meaning:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Good answer!  Let me tweak it a little to make it a great answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Rather than,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Hmm, along the right lines.  If you do X, Y, and Z it might just be okay.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Just remembered another example where I wanted to edit a question: &lt;https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/968/passing-options-to-the-newenvironment&gt;, in that case, I left a comment."

How do you differentiate a meta-tag from a normal, innocent tag?

Meta-tags,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; like [beginner], [subjective], and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [best-practices], are useless as&#xD;&#xA;&gt; single tags on a question. By&#xD;&#xA;&gt; themselves, they tell you nothing at&#xD;&#xA;&gt; all about the content of the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **If the tag commonly means different things to different people,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it’s probably a meta-tag.** &#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;&gt; In a cruel,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ironic twist, the meaning of the tag&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [subjective] itself … is actually&#xD;&#xA;&gt; subjective. Ditto for [best-practices]&#xD;&#xA;&gt; and [beginner]. Best practices to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; whom? Beginner by what criteria?

As a silly example, I would not close &quot;How do I get an alpha in my document?&quot; as a duplicate of &quot;How do I typeset an integral sign?&quot; (though I probably would if it were a &quot;beta&quot;) but I would close it as a duplicate of &quot;How do I find a mathematical symbol?&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The problem with this criterion is that it requires a judgement as to what a particular questioner would have done.

There are lots of &quot;see also&quot; comments, and &quot;Have you looked at ...?&quot; comments which clearly indicate that another question is very closely related to the current one.  If, as in this case, the questions are almost but not quite duplicates, one can even put a link in the question itself as a comment to future readers.

In fact, Martin (author of `collcell`) is explicit in his documentation about the use of `array`, so in this particular case, there isn't too much of a problem.

From IOS6 (dec 2012), Safari has access to the camera roll, so it is possible to upload images directly from Safari without the Dropbox workaround. That is, I can follow the steps 1 and 2 of the original question, and then upload it directly to StackExchange.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I leave the original question and its edits for reference.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Original question (jul 22, 2012)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Currently I am far from my computers, and I've got a lot of spare time, so I'd like to participate in this site and answer some questions, using my iPad.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've found that the site is very iPad friendly, and that I can navigate, read and write answers without problems (specially if I use an external bluetooth keyboard, which make more accessible the markup symbols).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, when I want to try out the code in my answers and post an image with the resulting output, I get into trouble. These are the steps that I'm currently using:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  1. I try the code using [LaTeX previewer](http://www.tlhiv.org/ltxpreview/) which is also very iPad friendly, to my delight.&#xD;&#xA;  2. If the code works, and I want to paste the resulting output, I select the image and save it in the iPad Photo Album.&#xD;&#xA;  3. Using Dropbox for iPad, I upload the photo from the iPad to some Dropbox folder.&#xD;&#xA;  4. Using Dropbox again, I get an url for the uploaded image (which is a shortened url).&#xD;&#xA;  5. Since stackexchange image upload service does not work with shortened urls, I use Safari to connect to that shortened url, download the image, and get the expanded url which points to the real `png`&#xD;&#xA;  6. I use stackexchange's image uploader to give the url of that image and finally get the result in the post.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is how I answered [Drawing node in tikz with both background fill and grid pattern?](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/64291/12571), for example.&#xD;&#xA;I wonder if there is a shorter method, or if I am the only one trying to do such a thing from the iPad.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT (jul 23, 2012)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason for such a convoluted process is that in iOS (iPad, iPhone and iPod operating system) the filesystem is *sandboxed* for each application. In other words, an application has not access to the files created in a different application. The user has no control about where the files are stored. When you &quot;download&quot; an image with Safari, it &quot;sends&quot; that image to Photo Album app, which stores it in its private filesystem. But then, when some web page offers you to &quot;upload&quot; a file, Safari dismisses that option, because the only part of the filesystem that Safari can read is its own private space, and this is use for caching only. This is why I have to use Dropbox as an intermediate store.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However perhaps an iPad user more skilled than me knows about some workaround. It is a pain to be unable to upload files from the browser." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I followed MO a bit (not really actively participating) and used SO only via google.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For minor edits (spelling, etc.) I think we can agree that no particular marking of the edit is necessary. So the following only concerns major edits (like adding new information or major reformulations).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Usually I not just want the solution to a question, I also appreciate any surrounding information, that technically does not belong to the question. For example on the question &quot;How do I underline text?&quot; there is a simple technical answer. However, someone might write a comment that one usually shouldn't underline text (and explain why). For this reason I usually also read at least the upvoted comments and some additional answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now imagine the questioner has some really good reason for wanting to underline text and edits this into her questions without marking the edit. When I come along and read the question and comments, I'll be rather confused why somebody recommended not to underline the text when there is a really good reason stated right in the question. Sure I could read through the editing history, but how often do really do that. More importantly, how many people that find the question via google know that there is an editing history and how to access it? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The same goes for clarifications in the question when it already has answers. Consider [this question][ackn] and Will's answer (which currently is the most upvoted one). Without the &quot;EDIT&quot; in the question anyone coming along now will probably be quite confused by this answer as it does not answer the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For this reason, I usually appreciate it when (major) changes to a question and answer are clearly marked; either directly in the text or as footnotes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Interestingly this does not necessarily lead to convoluted and unreadable answers. Consider [this answer][andrew-ans] by Andrew. First (nearly) the original answers which just gives the solution. Then the first edit, two paragraphs with an explanation. Then the second edit, a paragraph with additional information. So it is a well-structured answer where the most important information comes first and not just a wall of text.

My introduction to posting images, like with so many new users, came with my first visit, subsequent registration and post to TeX.SX, only to be greeted with the [insufficient privileges disclaimer for new users](https://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/new-user) that doesn't allow image posting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since being able to post images and also through editing other's questions/answers, I've noticed a difference in style:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Inserting images as-you-type hyperlink format:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;!-- code follows --&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ![&lt;enter image description here&gt;](&lt;image url&gt;)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Inserting images using the `imgur.com` GUI click-to-insert button ![Imgur's insert image GUI button](https://i.stack.imgur.com/6YO9r.png), which leaves you with:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;!-- code follows --&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    ![&lt;enter image description here&gt;][&lt;imgtag&gt;]&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    [&lt;imgtag&gt;]: &lt;image url&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since I would like to keep things organised, properly name the image to be upload and revert to the former option by copying the image hyperlink next to the markdown and removing the `&lt;imgtag&gt;` - thereby keeping the image placement together with the image link. I even give a description of the image.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My questions are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Which of the above usages would be considered best practice on TeX.SX?&#xD;&#xA; 2. What is the use of changing `&lt;enter image description here&gt;` if it is never visible to the non-editing users; not even via a tooltip text?&#xD;&#xA; 3. Is there any advantage in giving a meaningful name to an image that is uploaded to `imgur.com`?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The motivations behind these questions are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Don't know whether this is sheer user preference, since organisation of a post (and the objects contained within) is subjective. That is, what I find organised may be considered unorganised by others; in true (La)TeX fashion, leaving all the actual images as &quot;references&quot; at the end of a post is just as organised as the other option.&#xD;&#xA; 2. I thought translating the meaningful description into a tooltip text would be... well, meaningful. I understand though that not many people find this &quot;editorial description of images&quot; interest or of-value, and therefore decide to leave this blank.&#xD;&#xA; 3. If someone is interested in downloading an image that was posted (for whatever reason), the downloaded image has `imgur.com`'s &quot;short url&quot;. For example, the button image hyperlink in this post is&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &lt;code&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/6YO9r.png&quot;&gt;https://i.stack.imgur.com/6YO9r.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/code&gt;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This however, left upon me a disconcerting impression that the commentator was just trying the mend this miserable tore up question. What else?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The other remarks were clearly copied verbatim from the `listings` manual. That is, the comments about the local file and the use of `\lstdefinelanguage`, with the corresponding language files that follow. &#xD;&#xA;Not surprisingly, the OP was desperately willing to accept this answer. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But this is clearly a vague excuse. A vague excuse that the OP was desperately willing to accept, So desperate in fact, that I am sure he regretted posting the question, he regretted further elaboration of its premises, and generally speaking, asking this kind of question to start with. Then my answer came in, which set off the alarms. Then back to the OP who should have done the homework but he didn't. The commentator, on the other hand, should have provided a better opinion, but he failed. And the bottom line is that this question that I loved so much, me, me, not the OP nor the commentator, is now, sadly, nowwhere to be found. Google cache no longer applies, and the realization that the best answer to fix it, was largely ignored and downvoted, is a fact now. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, back to the question:&#xD;&#xA;Should I use \lst@definelanguage instead of \lstdefinelanguage and how can I get the former to work in my MWE?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* No, you can't use `\lst@definelanguage`, because the manual is incorrect, but you can change it to `\iftrue`&#xD;&#xA;* Yes, you can use `\lst@definelanguage`  because the manual is correct, and you can change it to `\iftrue` &#xD;&#xA;* It's up to you, you can't use `\lst@definelanguage` because the manual is incorrect, but you can change it to `\iftrue`&#xD;&#xA;* It's not up to you, you can use `\lst@definelanguage` because the manual is correct, but you can change it to `\iftrue`&#xD;&#xA;* It's not up to you, you can't use `\lst@definelanguage` because the manual is incorrect, but you can change it to `\iftrue`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What are my options?

There is some form of &quot;responsibility&quot; on these &quot;users who have been here for quite a while longer&quot; to make decisions on the validity of new tags, or change them via a retag if required. Some users (to isolate [@lockstep](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/510/lockstep)) are retag daemons and try to organise the site accordingly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, and more in line with your question. I think the [tag:path] tag has more to do with &quot;file systems path&quot; than it has to do with drawings or &quot;graphical structures&quot;, since the latter is predominantly covered by [tag:tikz-pgf] or [tag:pstricks] and the like; each of which has such a rich set of macros that it would be infeasible to have a tag specific to each &quot;graphical structure&quot; within them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My suggestion would be to perhaps define [tag:path] as a synonym for [tag:filesystem-access], or even rename [tag:filesystem-access] to [tag:file-system].

Some others ask for alternatives and cannot be definitively answered (and we have [big-list](https://tex.stackexchange.com/tags/big-list/info) tag for them).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a third kind of possible questions: tendency survey. These questions ask for a tendency or for the opinion of the community on a specific point. This third kind of questions is not accepted today on TeX.SE (even if lots of questions masked as authoritative ones are, in fact, of this kind).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my opinion, to know tendencies of TeX community is quite important: if I am interested by `LuaLaTeX` for example, I would like to know how many people use it. If I started using `LaTeX` for bibliography, I would like to know what system is the most popular between `BibTeX`, `BibLaTeX`, `natbib`, ... This information is epistemologically relevant.

Indeed, this tag is used for these questions sometimes. For example : https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/339/latex-editors-ides. Let's study this example furthermore: when you read this topic, you believe to know that Emacs+Auctex is the more popular LaTeX editor. In fact, you can't know that for sure:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Perhaps, there are anti-x (where x is an editor) who have voted down it (and it's the case in our example). So the results are false.&#xD;&#xA; 2. Perhaps a solution (editor in our example) is the first but there are plenty of alternatives and it is, in fact, a very low percent of the community which is it. It is very different when 90% of the community used a tool and when 20% used another tool.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To sum up, there is no way in TeX.SE to handle in a proper way opinion polls. If we recognized there are important to decide what software used, we should find a way to treat them with statistics and correct polling methods.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;P-S: The first solution to a problem is to use the correct tool to achieve our specific purpose.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

For example, Ryan Reich asked a big question with https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/34712/86 in that since no-one already had an answer then an answer would involve a lot of hackery.

I've always wondered, though, why a site devoted to TeX doesn't use TeX fonts.  I feel like it ought to, if possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've been working a lot lately with the Latin Modern collection (derived from Donald Knuth’s Computer Modern font collection) and have had great success getting them to work in HTML via CSS.  The results are so close to actual TeX, in fact—right down to the ligatures and the TeX, LaTeX, and XeTeX logos—that I can’t tell the difference anymore without scrupulous examination.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Below is a sample page showing what TeX.sx could look like using TeX fonts.  The image is actually a hyperlink which brings you to a web page that displays the content shown in the image.  The image is not faked; it’s an actual browser screenshot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I want to be careful not to step on any toes here, but I also want to demonstrate what is possible with modern HTML+CSS and suggest that a reskinning of TeX.sx might be something worth considering.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The web page shown here renders identially in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome on Mac OS X, and even displays properly on the iPhone and iPad.  It also should work the same on Linux and Windows as well, although I haven’t a way to test those.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sample 1&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://jadzia.bu.edu/~tsl/tex-sx-lmodern-test/41924.html&quot;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;![sample][1]&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Typographical notes:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* This has available to it the full range of Latin Modern fonts in all their optical sizes. This sample uses `lmr10` (roman 10pt) for the questions and answers, and uses `lmr9` (roman 9pt) for the comments. Auxiliary text such as tags, link-buttons, and page footers use `lmss8` (sans-serif 8pt).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The Latin Modern Roman family provides ff, fi, fl, ffi, and ffl ligatures as standard Unicode characters U+FB00 through U+FB04, respectively.  I encoded these by hand in this sample, but it is not difficult to translate these on-the-fly when generating a web page.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The Latin Modern Roman family also provides proper opening and closing single- and double-quotation marks.  I converted `'` and `&quot;` here by hand in this sample, but again it is not difficult to translate these on the fly, given a few simple rules of engagement and a well-tested algorithm. (I only know of one ambiguous case: `'n'` can mean ’n’ as in “fish ’n’ chips” and it can also mean ‘n’ as in “the letter ‘n’ is the 14th letter of the alphabet.”)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Using CSS properties like `vertical-align`, it is trivial to lower the E in the TeX logo and raise the A in the LaTeX logo. Similarly, using `margin-left` and `margin-right`, these characters can be tightly kerned. (`letter-spacing` might be another option for kerning.) Here, the `&lt;sub&gt;` and `&lt;sup&gt;` tags were subclassed, allowing graceful degradation on extremely old browsers. Latin Modern Roman even has the backwards E in XeTeX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Justified paragraphs seem to render acceptably. Hyphenation in HTML obviously isn't up to TeX standards, nor is paragraph line-fitting, but it certainly doesn’t look terrible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The `lmtt10` font is much more TeX-like than the current Consolas and is quite readable on the screen. Here is a second sample focusing more on code snippets:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sample 2&#xD;&#xA;--------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;http://jadzia.bu.edu/~tsl/tex-sx-lmodern-test/37042.html&quot;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;![sample][2]&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br/&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Originals&#xD;&#xA;---------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The original, live TeX.sx pages appear [here][3] and [here][4] for comparison.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/RCpJt.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6PLxk.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/41924&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/37042&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I had to look at the URL to see that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* I really like Charles’ first suggestion of using the Zapfino font in the design, e.g. the logo (even though Charles himself has doubts). I believe using a Zapf font would be very fitting; not only is Hermann Zapf kind of the ultimate font designer, he also worked very closely with Knuth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  The perceived danger that this would make the site look too antique, and not enough focused on precision could be mitigated by “resolving” the strokes into vector outlines or guide lines, like in this picture:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  ![FontForge logo][]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Of course this is rather too specific and I’m not a designer.

There are two parts to the question: is it *legal* to TeX the TeXbook and is it *moral* to TeX the TeXbook.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The first of these certainly has a definite answer (well, one per country), but no-one on this site is _obviously_ qualified to give it.  I don't see any country's courts accepting the plea: &quot;I read on tex.SX that it was probably okay so I TeX'd the TeXbook.&quot;.  The point I wish to make is that an answer on tex.SX ought to be **easily verifiable**.  There is no &quot;minimum working code&quot; that I can run on my computer to check if it is legal or not for me to tex the TeXbook:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    pdflatex -only-if-legal texbook.tex&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;fails for some reason.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second does not have a definite answer (at least without assuming the Axiom of Choice[1]) and will vary from person to person.  It will probably also vary significantly by whether or not the condition is Knuth's or the publisher's.

One reason for this is that one can't always be sure who's right: It may well be that the answer was OK although I thought it was wrong; maybe I just misunderstood something, or I was wrong myself. So when I leave a comment, that's friendlier and more useful (I think) than just downvoting, and it gives the chance to clarify things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now for the personal part of my answer: One reason for following the above procedure is that I don't like getting downvotes myself (unless there's a good reason).

I'm bringing it up here for two reasons: 1. The problem doesn't seem to be resolved, 2. I'm not sure if the tex.sx community is aware of it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It doesn't happen too often on tex.sx, but today it did happen:&#xD;&#xA;TH saved an edit of [this question](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/9517/1235) with the time stamp `2011-01-23 02:11:49`; then lockstep saved an edit with the time stamp `2011-01-23 02:12:01`, so 12 seconds later. Both edits were to mark a code sample; TH's edit actually involved one more change than lockstep's, but this got overwritten by lockstep's edit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To make things worse, I made another edit (hours later). _Why worse?_ &amp;nbsp;There's a little known (I believe) feature on stackexchange that [frequent edits of a post make it CW](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/11740/what-are-community-wiki-posts/11741#11741), namely 5 edits by different users or 10 edits by the OP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So having multiple users edit one and the same post has two downsides: 1. Only the edits of the user who save his edits last take effect; thus the effort of the other users is wasted. 2 There's the danger of making a question CW shortly after it has been posted (so far not a great danger on tex.sx).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is already [some warning implemented](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1577/notifications-for-concurrent-changes-when-editing-posts/28119#28119), but this doesn't seem to suffice. I've got two completely different suggestions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. When I hit the &quot;edit&quot; button shortly (let's say &lt;5 minutes) after another user, the system shows a message like&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   &gt; Another user may currently be editing this post. Do you want to proceed?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   (Very similar to [this proposal](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/73924); should the name of the other user(s) be given?).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. When I hit the &quot;Save Edits&quot; button, the system shows a message like&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   &gt; Another user has edited this post while you were editing. If you proceed to save your edits, his edits will be lost.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   (This could still be improved a lot, see e.g. [this old suggestion](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1577/notifications-for-concurrent-changes-when-editing-posts/1625#1625), but my present proposal would be simpler to implement.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Maybe my points 1. and 2. could/should both be implemented?

I'll start with the answer for the benefit of the site.  I think that the ideal new team would comprise of a mix of the pro tem moderators and new moderators.  Unfortunately, we're going from 5 pro tem mods to 3 mods, so even if we had no new people two of the pro tems would have to step down.  (Ideally, I'd go for 4 moderators with 2+2, and while I'm wishing I'd like a pony too).  I consider myself as the least able of the pro tems _in terms of moderating activity_: I've not written any tag wikis, rarely done any tag clean-ups, and when there's a flag then by the time I get there then someone else has almost always taken the appropriate action.  So if there are to be some pro tems in the new team (as I hope that there are), I don't think that I should be one, and I don't want to risk dislodging one of the others or pushing out someone new.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My reason for myself is that I feel I've put quite a bit of time in to this site at the start, and I'm pleased with how it got off the ground (I'm not implying direct causality there!), but now it's time to scale back a bit and be just an ordinary member of the community, just answering questions that catch my interest rather than feeling that I should read most of them.  I'm sure I'll still be as vocal on meta as ever, and hope to be as useful on the main site (I doubt that _all_ the TikZ/PGF questions have been asked yet).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To sum up, what this site needed at the beginning was largely enthusiasm and time.  What it needs now is a broader view of TeX and how this site can benefit the TeX community.  That is something I certainly don't have.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew:** I didn't volunteer until now because I consider the pro tem moderators to be doing a great job already, and was kind of hoping they would continue.  Also, I was (perhaps vainly) waiting for someone to bring it up as a possibility.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Stefan:**][1] When there's time given for making important decisions, I tend to use it. Also, I hesitate to speak a lot about myself. Since my feeling clearly says I would like to volunteer, I should write something now. So, see you later on the election page.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Hendrik:**][2] I feel honored that people tried prodding me, and I'm still somewhat tempted to nominate myself, and if it was only for getting the power to edit old comments `:-)` However, my feeling is that being a moderator implicates some responsibility, and at the moment, 1/3 of the responsibility is just too much for me. (By the way, [I _have_ been relatively active on meta.SO recently](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/155585/hendrik-vogt?tab=activity), and I'll probably continue being active there.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Konrad**: Two factors: one, I am currently *very* hard pressed to meet my (extended) deadline for the master thesis. Two, I actually think that the already nominated candidates are more than adequate and I’m not sure that my contribution will be all that useful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213/stefan-kottwitz&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/1235/hendrik-vogt" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I'm a pretty experienced LaTeX user and TeX programmer, so have relatively few questions that really fit the site (so far I've only asked one). (The few things I do ask about tend to go to c.t.t, where there are some _very_ experienced TeX programmers.) I hope that has not made me a bad moderator, as in the past I've asked enough questions elsewhere to know _how_ to phrase a good question. So I'd say that asking lots of questions here is not crucial to being a good moderator. What's needed is patience with new members of the community and the ability to explain what _makes_ a good question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep**: I don't think having asked many questions is important for qualifying as a moderator. Stefan Kottwitz and Joseph Wright IMO have been performing excellent as pro tem mods while asking only 4 resp. 1 question(s).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I *do* think, though, that Andrew hit on something important in his chat remark: I wouldn't vote for a mod candidate who only seldom or never casts votes on question/answers. Separating the wheat from the chaff (so to speak) and making the best questions highly visible is a core aspect of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): I guess it does certainly help to know the site from both perspectives, but as the pro tem moderation team has show that it is not strictly necessary. More important is to know *how* to ask a good question and to have some patience with new users that don't know that yet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I was first drawn to this site by a question, and I've definitely asked my fair share and upvoted hundreds of answers.  As a I moderator I would obviously draw upon that experience and treat all users, especially n00bs, with respect.  I can't say that it would make me a better moderator than Joseph (just to use an example of someone who admits he hasn't), but it would make me a better moderator than a version of myself without the experience of the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer): I think that active participation and knowledge of all aspect of tex.sx is important for a moderator. Asking questions is important, but might be one of the lower priorities a moderator should concentrate on. However, asking the right questions which aren't discussed yet, even if the answer is already known to this person, could help to make this site even more valuable then it is right now. Also I can fully understand that some power users, especially well known Gurus, do not come into the situation to need to ask (real) questions here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To pick up the other topic lockstep already mentioned above: I also think *voting* is a much better indicator of the community involvement of a moderator-to-be. This sites lives from votes! Not only to distinguish the good answers from the less good ones, but also to elevate the good users and give them the privileges they deserve and need to participate even more. Votes are our form of *spice* and as we all know [*The spice must flow*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_spice_must_flow)!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** I don't think the two are related. As already pointed out, our current moderators weren't the most avid question askers, but did a commendable job nevertheless. The moderators should know how to tell a good question apart from a bad one, and how to deal with substandard ones (comment, edit, close, delete). Tolerance and &quot;human touch&quot; towards new users is far more important&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Stefan Kottwitz**][2] I think it's important to get familiar with all aspects of the site. This includes the experience of creating one or more questions with our site interface but also dealing with the answers: voting some up or down, how many, which one to choose for accepting, giving feedback in comments, receiving comments and reacting to that. It took me some time to figure out some own questions, because I know how to find answers myself and I'm used to that. But I wished to try posting questions and so I found some which were interesting for me, real and not just for testing--respecting answering TeX users and appreciating their feedback.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** I ask a lot of questions, but I don't think that qualifies me to be a good moderator. I obviously think the questions I ask are good questions and I don't think they should ever require moderator attention. I suppose one aspect of asking questions that is relevant to moderating is thinking carefully about whether a question is a duplicate. I suppose that if you weren't in the habit of asking questions regularly, you might have a different attitude towards this issue. I think when you're learning this stuff, there are questions that seem quite distinct that are obviously the same question to experienced users. So perhaps my having asked a lot of questions makes me more lenient on duplicates?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/86/andrew-stacey&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213/stefan-kottwitz" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

A completely different solution was offered that solved the issue the submitter had. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the submitter had made an effort to create a MWE the extra work could have been averted (I apologize to Martin Scharrer for the time he had to spend on this).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now the question is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Should incomplete code be edited in the question for the benefit of the user (and potential responders), or should this be the sole responsibility of the original poster?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I see a few pros and cons for editing user's code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Pros:**&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA; - Most of the time it works, and everybody's happy.&#xD;&#xA; - The edit might be just what's needed to attract some quick replies, as the code can be copied and compiled without modification.&#xD;&#xA; - No time is lost in back-and-forth communication between the OP and the potential editor.&#xD;&#xA; - No duplicate posts (there has been a similar situation recently, when a new user didn't notice they can edit their own posts, and created a duplicate, which was promptly closed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Cons:**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - When it doesn't work, this results in some extra effort to people trying to solve the wrong problem.&#xD;&#xA; - Time is lost when figuring out what's actually wrong, which could have been averted if the OP was asked to provide a MWE by themselves.&#xD;&#xA; - Original submitter might be frustrated that people meddle with their stuff, playing &quot;smart guy&quot; (although with good intentions).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I think the extra editing helps in most of the cases, but when it fails, it does spectacularly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other opinions? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:** It seems most think that it shouldn't be done in general, or if done, should be careful and clarified. Although I reserve a somewhat dissenting opinion, I understand the arguments of everybody, and will refrain from such editing in the future.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12559/proof-split-over-two-pages&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/posts/12559/timeline" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Stefan is also (obviously) correct about the availability of tag navigation and the fact that a question can feature up to five tags. But my proposal was motivated by the very aim that is also important to Stefan: ease of access to particular questions. So let's take a second look at the current tagging situation for [tag:headings] &amp; friends.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Regarding `\chapter`, Stefan has a point in that this macro is implemented in a different way, and that this fact is mirrored in numerous question tagged with [tag:chapter]. Here's an example: [Chapter starts on right hand side](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6227/chapter-starts-on-right-hand-side). On the other hand, there are questions that offer advice which is also valid for lower-level sectioning commands. Again, an example: [How can I display a short chapter name in the header and a long chapter name in the TOC?](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/6862/how-can-i-display-a-short-chapter-name-in-the-header-and-a-long-chapter-name-in-t). Note that this question does not featute the [tag:headings] tag, presumably because the questioner was not aware of its more general nature. My point: Even if an additional [tag:chapter] tag may well have merits, *the &quot;broad&quot; concept tag should not be omitted*. (Note: Everything I said about `\chapter` is also valid for the `\part` macro, which has not necessitated a [tag:parts] tag up to now.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Assuming that the [tag:chapter] tag should be preserved does not equal preserving the current situation as a whole. I still maintain that the breakdown of questions into [tag:headings] vs. [tag:sections] happened by rolling the dice, and that a special [tag:sections] tag is a stumbling block for accessing relevant answers about headings in general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My revised proposal thus is: Merge [tag:sections] and [tag:headings] into a new concept tag called [tag:sectioning]. Keep the [tag:chapters] tag, but add the [tag:sectioning] tag to every question tagged with [tag:chapters] because numerous of these questions are also relevant for lower-level sectioning commands (and because &quot;normal&quot; users cannot assess if this is the case for their particular question about `\chapter`). And yes, add a [tag:parts] tag. :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT: Used [tag:sectioning] as new term for the broad concept tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 2: Changed [tag:part] to the plural form [tag:parts].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 3: I ask a moderator to do the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Make [tag:sections] and [tag:headings] synonyms of the new concept tag [tag:sectioning]. (I have already created this tag.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - If it can be done automatically, add the [tag:sectioning] tag to every qestion tagged with [tag:chapters] *but do not remove the [tag:chapters] tag.* (I suspect this will have to be done manually in the course of the next weeks.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 4: The latest proposal, which will be implemented by manual retagging in the next few weeks, is a general [tag:sectioning] tag plus the specific tags [tag:parts], [tag:chapters], and [tag:sections-paragraphs].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 5: Also, some of the questions currently tagged with [tag:paragraphs] (which deals with `\par`) will have to be retagged as [tag:sectioning] [tag:sections-paragraphs].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;EDIT 6: Moderators: The question can be tagged as [meta-tag:status-completed]."

Hope it's OK to have this as a separate question.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now that everyone can suggest edits to any post, it might be helpful to discuss how we handle the edit suggestions. The cause for my question is this post: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/13347/use-or-redefine-a-tag-command-in-text-mode. It seems that an anonymous user proposed to fix the typo in &quot;pair of parensis&quot; (which is good), and the suggestion was to change it to &quot;pair of parenthese&quot;. This _still_ contains a typo and hence shouldn't have been approved, but that actually isn't the point I want to make:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think the main point is that _the edit suggestion didn't go far enough_; just this one edit couldn't really improve the post: There's inline code to mark, there are more typos, the wording could be improved. I'm not demanding that a proposed edit has to catch every single bit, but such incomplete edits don't justify bumping the question half a day later (and moving it one step closer to community wiki).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So here's what I propose: For _anonymous_ incomplete suggested edits, reject the edit and make a more complete edit. Same for _very_ incomplete edit suggestions by registered users. If you want to give the registered user credit, have a look at the meta question mentioned above: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1061/improving-editing-suggestions-etiquette.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Personally, I see pros and cons in suggested edits: On the one hand they can and do help improving our site, on the other hand I think it takes more effort to see if an edit was good than doing it myself.)&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I don't want to send it to CW inadvertently, and I want to check my edits with the original author, so I'm using this place as a &quot;sandbox&quot; to test my edits.  Others are welcome to edit as well - I'm making _this_ copy CW!  If we can come up with a version that captures the original spirit and focusses the question, and the original author is happy with, then someone can copy it across to the original.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Although many academic journals readily accept submissions in some format of TeX, indeed some enlightened ones _insist_ on it, it is rare that one can simply send exactly the same document that one has been working on as a submission.  Most journals insist on authors using their &quot;house class file&quot;, and some have specific style files that define &quot;common macros&quot;.  Some journals further make one or both of the following demands:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. That the submission be a single file,&#xD;&#xA; 2. That all unnecessary macros be removed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example in [BioMed Central TeX template files](http://www.cbcb.umd.edu/~florea/research/ftp/readme.html) (the linked page seems to be an unofficial copy, but I could not find an official one online), Sections 2.2 and 2.3 say:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; **2.2:** In order to submit a manuscript as a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; .tex file to BioMed Central, you must&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; - use the BioMed Central template&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - format your references with BibTeX using the bmc_article.bst style file&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - not rely on any non-standard macros, classes or files&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; **2.3:** Make sure that you only a single .tex document for the entire&#xD;&#xA;&gt; manuscript, as you will need to upload&#xD;&#xA;&gt; it as a single file (together with its&#xD;&#xA;&gt; associated formatted bibliography&#xD;&#xA;&gt; file). Do not use the \input command&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to include other .tex files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Obviously, some journals adhere to these more strictly than others and the first thing to do is to determine whether these requests are enforced or not (and what, exactly, is considered &quot;non-standard&quot;).  So let us suppose that this has been done and the answer is: yes, these are enforced.  Then the question is: how does one do this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In all likelihood, there is not a simple answer, in which case it will be extremely valuable to know what strategies and workflows others have employed.  (But **please** do **not** name-and-shame journals who make these requests.  It may not be the journal but the publisher, and I'm sure that the journals could provide equally horrific stories of the TeX-mangling that they've received.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing to take note of is that the additional files may not just be style files or bibliography files but images as well.  For example, in the BioMed instructions given above, the reason given for this request is that the upload is to be a _single file_ (and let us, for the sake of argument, assume that archived files are not allowed).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus we can divide this in to various scenarios:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The journal asks that the submission contain only one **TeX file**.  So image files and bibliography files are fine as extras.  We assume also that it is possible to identify which extra files should be included, but they may be a combination of user-written style files and packages downloaded from CTAN.  The task is to fold all of these in to a single file.  **How do we make these in to a single file, and what pitfalls are there to be aware of?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The journal asks that the submission contain only one **file** in total.  Now we wish to embed non-standard type files into our TeX file.  **Is this possible?**  and if so, how, and what pitfalls are there to be wary of?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. The journal asks that _unnecessary_ macros/commands be removed.  Are there any strategies for going through a document and identifying those commands which have been defined but never used?"

Contributions here are licensed under a CC license (see links at the bottom of the page) which isn't the best for software: even the people behind the CC licenses [do not recommend](http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FAQ#Can_I_use_a_Creative_Commons_license_for_software.3F) its use for software.  LaTeX packages are usually licensed under the LPPL (see http://www.latex-project.org/lppl/), but other free licenses such as GNU GPL (see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html) are sometimes used.  Exactly how the various licenses interact is ... complicated.&#xD;&#xA;As the goons memorably quipped, &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; It's all rather confusing, really.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, the people who answer questions retain copyright on their material and are therefore free to relicense it as they wish.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the ensuing discussions, some have felt that the simplest thing to do is to issue a blanket declaration saying that repackaging and relicensing of their code written on this site is allowed.  The purpose of this question is to allow people to publicly state what terms their code is released under.  Note that this is _in addition_ to the standard SE license terms and is designed to make it easier for people to repackage answers as desired.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are many open source licenses out there.  Some useful links are:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The [list at gnu](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html), including the FSF's beliefs on which are compatible with GPL.&#xD;&#xA;* The [list at CTAN](http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/licenses.html), including CTAN's beliefs on which are free.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are some comments to bear in mind when choosing how to relicense your code:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The purpose of this is to make it **easier** for others to build on your work.&#xD;&#xA;1. GPL is probably the most popular for software in general, and LPPL for TeX packages specifically.&#xD;&#xA;2. The LPPL and GPL [are incompatible](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLIncompatibleLicenses).&#xD;&#xA;1. It is possible to license code under several licenses, with the choice of license being for the user to decide.  Indeed, any declaration here is _in addition_ to the CC-BY-SA license that the site automatically applies.&#xD;&#xA;1. If the issue is too confusing, there's always the option of placing the work in to the [public domain](http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Public_domain)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some notes on the licenses:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* An article on why everything should be GPL-compatible: &lt;http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/gpl-compatible.html&gt;&#xD;&#xA;* There is a separate issue of **attribution**.  Many licenses require that the code be properly (and appropriately) attributed.  It is for the user (or repackager) to ensure that their reuse of code is properly compliant with the license in this, and other, ways.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When answering this question, please state the terms under which you agree to your code being reused.

The question is asking how to get the number of current itemization in a margin. In ConTeXt, itemizations are equivalent to the **itemize** as well as **enumerate** environments in LaTeX. So, the relevant tags are: `lists`, `enumerate`, and `itemize`. This is what each of these tags say:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* `lists`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &gt; {lists} is about list environments. If your question deals with a specific list environment, add the respective tag, if existing, such as {itemize}, {enumerate}, or {description}. A popular package is {enumitem}. For registers like a &quot;List of figures&quot;, use {table-of-contents} instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* `itemize`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &gt; {itemize} is about the itemize list environment. If you use this tag, add the more general {lists} tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* `enumerate`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &gt; {enumerate} is about the enumerate list environment. If you use this tag, add the more general {lists} tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The wording of these tags is not tied to the desired visual output, rather to the LaTeX environment that implements them. The corresponding ConTeXt environments are `itemgroups`, `itemize`, and `itemize`. Because of the way they are worded, none of the LaTeX specific tags fit the question. In fact, some of them may be  confusing because, in ConTeXt, `lists` are used for structures like table of contents, list of figures, etc; and `enumeration` is used for structures like Theorems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What is the best way out of this? I understand that more than 95% of the questions on this forum are LaTeX related, so having LaTeX specific tags makes sense. However, at the same time, there are a few ConTeXt and plain-TeX specific questions as well; the LaTeX specific tags do not fit for the ConTeXt questions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One option is to create new tags for ConTeXt specific tags for everything and the other option is to reword a lot of the tags so that they describe the behavior and not the name of the environments that implement them. None of them completely solve the question of similar terms (like `lists` and `enumerations`) used to mean completely different constructs in LaTeX and ConTeXt (should we create `latex-lists` and `context-lists` to avoid confusion?)."

Not sure how a user is supposed to decide.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Furthermore I was thinking that perhaps there is still some corruption in my TL2012 installation as per:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/68686/corrupted-texlive2012-installation-file-l3candidates-sty-not-found&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Once others can confirm that they see the same behavior, and not some option clash issue, only then would it be known as a bug (except of course to the pacakge authors), at which case I would have emailed the authors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And even if the problem is fixed in a updated version, many people tend to stick with old versions given that we often get questions where the answer is to update their distribution.  Here is one form today: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/79485/problem-with-mdframed-commands. If there were question here with the same problems that those people were experiencing, then they would know that they needed updated packages and/or release. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am not suggesting that this site be used as a bug tracking system or that all bugs be reported here, just that if one person took quite some time to narrow down to a bug, then posting it here is useful. And if an answer shows up that provides a workaround until that bug is fixed, that might be also be useful to others who do not want to update their packages/releases.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I know that a question like this would pop up in `meta` after a series of `do-it-for-me` (especially those related to drawing) questions that were answered and got very high number of upvotes. I have asked myself this very same question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The following are my take on this issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - We should be consistent with the `post-an-MWE` comment. Although some problems are non-trivial like the [How to draw a sine wave on a circular path in tikz](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/82773/how-to-draw-a-sine-wave-on-a-circular-path-in-tikz) (where, incidentally, I was the one who posted the comment, but the first to answer and whose answer got accepted), posting this comment will in one way or another convince them to try working out the problem on their own first. In many cases, I have seen OP edit the question to include and MWE after posting such a comment.&#xD;&#xA; - My principle in answering these kinds of questions, even the ones the *normal* TeX users find difficult or consider as one-time problems (for which case they might find reading the whole manual impractical) is my answer should encourage them to answer the rest of the problem on their own by using my answer as a sort of a springboard. A high school teacher myself, I completely agree with Scott H's opinion about the value of putting one's effort in the learning process. That is why I have opted to post an *incomplete* solution (or in some other cases, a tutorial on how to go about it without actually doing all the job). Although I would admit that doing the whole thing would have been, personally, very fun.&#xD;&#xA; - Some `do-it-for-me` questions are very trivial. What the OP needs in most of these cases is to read a beginner's LaTeX manual. In these questions, it is appropriate to direct OP to the proper links or previous posts, closing some of them appropriately as duplicates. (While one can argue that anyone should read the manual first in *all* cases, I don't think that it always works for some specialized packages like the graphical packages whose manuals run to more than several hundred pages.) In the case of [How to build this table in latex](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/82894/how-to-build-this-table-in-latex), though, it is obvious that the OP has not given much of anything at learning at table construction as can be seen in OP's previous posts.

They don't get lost among questions concerning prefabricated figures.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, the tags [`[figures]`][2] and [`[diagrams]`][3] are not even related, as I can see on the side bar.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I believe we should not merge those tags.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/diagrams&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/figures&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/diagrams" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Is it the fact that I am &quot;cutting my teeth&quot; on Lyx rather than full blown LaTeX the reason for being too localized.  I would appreciate it if you can help me understand why my question will not be answered here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Many thanks&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/98339/how-do-i-ensure-my-images-graphics-are-embedded-in-the-output-document" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

First of all, the title was very catchy; these three words - `cthulhu` | `worshipping` | `madman` - provoked our curiosity. And now enters in action something that I find amusing: most of us come from academia, we are researchers. We look for answers, to not only ask *why*, but sometimes *how*.

And better, we are compelled to actually find a solution, no matter what the question is about!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;`TeX.sx` is a friendly place, and there is no place for trolling.

We got a lot of traffic from that. Also, people in general probably got curious on this &quot;LaTeX thing&quot; and its community of Cthulhu worshipping madmen. Even the madness has its own methods.

There are a lot of questions here that can be answered (and indeed, *are* answered) with a direct link to the identical topic in the [UK TeX FAQ](http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?introduction=yes).  I was particularly impressed with [the article](http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=verbwithin) linked by kahen in their comment to the above question, which was detailed and up-to-date (it even mentioned LaTeX3).  In short, it was much better than any answer likely to be produced on-the-spot on this site (except by a few of the more prolix top users).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In principle I think it's unpleasant when a Q&amp;A site like this makes frequent recourse to a standard external reference in its answers.  It gives an appearance of exclusivity and puts a polish of elitism on the face of the elite users.  It's really endearing when you can expect to see a personalized answer instead of boilerplate, and that's not just because of sentiment but also because as long as that *is* the expectation, it combats the development of a dismissive attitude towards ignorant outsiders and actually improves the tone of the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That said, the UK TeX FAQ is really good: it contains carefully composed and researched answers in the style of our best users on lots of common topics.  I think there should be a standard process for using its articles (when relevant) as answers to those questions that, when asked here, are once again frequently so.  This should be more than just a convention that we cite the FAQ and close the question; I think a quite decent style is to quote, inline, a good excerpt in the answer, together with a link to the full article.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, some people do this already.  The point is that I am suggesting that *any* question that is a FAQ question get a FAQ answer, for uniformity.  Even with the vigilance of our eidetically-minded users digging up duplicates, there are a lot of very similar questions asked by new users who get answers of rather variable detail and quality just by chance of who happens to read them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This proposal is, in principle, not much different from asking people to look for duplicates.  In practice, though, it is easy to find an article in the UK TeX FAQ on a subject because it's organized topically *without* duplication, and so its opinion on the subject is an authoritative reference.  I don't think we yet have any process on this site for signifying that a particular instance of a duplicated question is *the* authoritative source for it, so if the UK TeX FAQ has an article on something, well, that's an opportunity to bring this kind of order to that one."

On SO, the volume is a few hundred questions each and every day.&#xD;&#xA; - **Educated audience.** Not to sound elitist, but TeX users tend to come from the academic world, and I dare say they know how to behave. Most of the times. &#xD;&#xA; - **Troll-free zone.** TeX-SE is not very attractive to trolling and flaming (although we did have an incident or two in the past that ignited the passions). If one is interested in trolling, it's so much easier to do it on Programmers-SE, English-SE, or Meta-SO -- if only for the fact these sites are more discussion-y, while TeX-SE is problem-oriented.&#xD;&#xA; - **Friendly atmosphere**. Gentlemanly conduct is predominant -- upvoting competitive answers, giving suggestions for improvement to the best answers, acknowledging the inferiority of one's solution compared to somebody else's. I've seen quite a few enthusiastic comments from new users praising the efforts of somebody which went beyond what was necessary to answer a question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Features of TeX-SE moderation policy that are often viewed as positive from the point of view of new users:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Moderation with a &quot;human touch&quot;.** The moderators have complained in the early days of TeX-SE that they don't have much to do and practically begging us to flag stuff to justify their existence. Now, probably not so much. But the low flag volume allows moderators to spare some time to be extra nice and helpful to misguided users. Although we do have the comment templates, many people (myself included) just type a &quot;customized&quot; comment with suggestions for improvement instead of outright voting to close.&#xD;&#xA; - **No-downvote policy.** It has been established early on that downvoting should be reserved for special circumstances (actively harmful/unhelpful answers), and that downvotes beyond -1 do not serve any useful purpose. This spares the anguish and confusion to new users which are not very clear how SE sites are supposed to work. From experience, it's not very nice to have your first question downvoted without explanation, especially when you tried to make it a &quot;real question&quot; and not just type a sentence or two without context, and I can definitely see how this could chase away potential contributors. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Our [top voters][1] have all very few downvotes, mostly around 20 or so, which is a proof of sorts that few downvotes and comments can work just as well as disciplined downvoting and closing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally, the most important principle in studying difficult to understand and analyze systems:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If it works, don't change it&#xD;&#xA;----------------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/users?tab=voters&amp;filter=all" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So I decided to offer a bounty, because I really needed a solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Even with the bounty, it seems that nobody was interested  enough to work on an answer, so I invested some time and came up with an answer myself, which I accepted shortly before the bounty period expired.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now the bounty (and grace) periods have expired, my question has received more than 10 upvotes and my answer has received two upvotes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this question would have been answered by anyone else than myself, the situation would have triggered half of the bounty amount to be auto-awarded to the answer. As it stands, this didn't happen.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't want my reputation back - after all, I offered it, knowing it would be gone for good. But somehow I feel that this kind of thing should be worthy of a badge:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - a question is asked and receives at least 10 upvotes&#xD;&#xA; - a bounty is offered on the question&#xD;&#xA; - the person asking the question answers their own question within the bounty period&#xD;&#xA; - at the end of the bounty period, the answer of the person who asked the question has received more upvotes than any other answer posted&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do you think these would be sensible criteria for a badge?

However, I think that it has developed in a different direction and that if considered now then it might not be made CW.  Please note that it can always be made CW again at a later date, and that individual answers can be made CW independently of the question (though if the question is CW all (subsequent?) answers become CW).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My reasoning is the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Although the question seems to be looking for a &quot;big list&quot; and certainly didn't take much &quot;research&quot; on behalf of the questioner(!), this could well be one of the most **useful** questions on the site (note that I didn't say *popular*, I don't care about that) and although I wouldn't want copy-cat questions, I would want questions that could be similarly useful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Frank's answer is looking as though it is going to be the Ultimate Treatise on floats.  Again, this kind of answer should be treasured on the site and I think that forcing it to be CW is, in some circles, seen as a &quot;it's okay but on the borderline&quot;.  It's not about the reputation (either real or imaginary) but about the perception of this question-and-answer and its status on our site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. I suspect that there was an expectation of this being &quot;use package X&quot; or &quot;use package Y&quot;.  It's not clear yet how comprehensive Frank's answer will be, but I can envision a situation where Frank's answer *explains* everything but doesn't necessarily say which package is best for *achieving* a particular behaviour.  So there is scope for others to answer, but once Frank's answer is finished then I doubt that anyone will just say, &quot;Use package X&quot;!  I expect that people will raise their game and say a longer version of &quot;If you want to do what Frank describes *here* then use package *X* in *such and such* a way&quot; with nice examples and so forth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As this is a proposal, it seems reasonable for people to be able to vote and to put counter arguments.  I think that the *answers* to this &quot;question&quot; should be used for opinions and so forth.  I'll put two *comments* to this &quot;question&quot; which can be voted upon to gauge opinion (note that votes can only be cast &quot;upwards&quot; and cannot be rescinded)."

I'd like to be more active on the site organization front -- cleanup, merging questions (where necessary), composing comprehensive CW answers, etc. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Additionally, I think the chat has been sadly underused since its introduction, and I can see how it can be of utility for various small support questions, TeX-related announcements, light troubleshooting, short-term issues and of course a bit of idle chat in between. I've seen some instances where a question or an answer has started long and interesting discussions between people, often going beyond the topic of the question itself, and these are ideal uses for chat.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): It probably wouldn't change too much. With enough rep, users can do most of the housekeeping stuff without moderator intervention, and being here since the start of the private beta, I always had a chance to build up enough reputation before the reputation requirement increases (i.e. at the end of the private beta, and at the end of the public beta). The biggest change seems to be that instead of flagging post for moderator attention, I'll have to react to flags (or just do the work whenever I find it). Maybe participation in meta will increase a bit, but not too much—there is no need to flood it with posts by moderators. And I'm sure, I'd still draw lots of TikZ pictures. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ad chat: I don't see any direct relationship between the chat and moderation. Anything that needs moderator attentions should usually be either flagged or discussed on meta. That said, the chat has been more active lately and I suppose it will stay so in the future.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew**: I think I spend quite a bit of time around here anyway, depending on the sports and political seasons, so I don't think I will be here significantly more.  But I will make a point of paying more attention to meta.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep**: I would have to shift some of the time I spend answering questions of marginal (for me) interest to &quot;janitorial&quot; activities. As for the chat, it's obviously great when elections are up, but I'm still undecided about its general utility.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer): I think I'm already very much involved with the site. However, with the power and the accompanying responsibility of a moderator I will pay more attention to the issues of other people and other outstanding or arising issues. I will have to browse Meta more thoroughly than up till know. I like the chat for quick conversations. Larger or longer lasting things should be discussed on meta.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** I'd check the new questions page more regularly, and look at more questions even when they don't interest me. I'd do more to help new users ask better questions: suggest they add MWEs, change the title if it's not clear... I'd do more housekeeping things like that, I guess. And I would continue to try and improve the tag wikis (which I've only recently started doing.) I think another thing I was thinking of was offering small bounties on long-unanswered upvoted questions in the hopes of stimulating some activity.

From the OP's perspective, a one-line answer is still a one-line answer, no matter who says it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/32402/how-to-prevent-page-breaks-in-lists-exam-class/32404#32404" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

At first glance, I like it, but I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the badge would be. All of the badges we've introduced recently have been intended to send a message. Mostly, those messages are along the lines of encouraging some kind of positive behavior that we want to see more of.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess you could argue that this promotes people continuing to work on their problems, not simply giving up after offering a bounty. Or perhaps a consolation prize for bounties that didn't attract great responses, without being so broad that people would offer meaningless bounties just for a badge? Neither of those is particularly convincing to me, but I'd be happy to listen to arguments (especially if I missed the point you were going for).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For what it's worth, I found roughly 20 posts on this site that could qualify for this badge, if it existed today.

However, voting patterns on the different sites vary, and here we pride ourselves on up voting a lot on both questions and answers, and down voting very sparingly. For example, in my two years or so on the site, I've cast 4187 up votes and only 16 down votes, and many of the other high reputation users have similar patterns. (For example, [egreg](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4427/egreg) has 19,007 up votes and only 22 down votes at time of writing.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So down voting here is really infrequent by most users, and we generally prefer to comment rather than down vote for the reasons you suggest. Also most of us reserve down votes to answers that are simply wrong rather than less ideal than some other answer.  Learning this culture, however, takes some time and perhaps overt instruction by other users.  When I've received down votes in the past, I've often left a comment explicitly asking for a reason.  If I see what appears to be a fair answer that has received a down vote I might leave a comment myself asking why.  Sometimes people reply, and sometimes other people reply saying &quot;I didn't down vote you, but perhaps ... is the problem&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So if you do get down voted, don't worry too much about it, and leave a comment asking for explanation. At best, you might get a response; at worst, you might make people think twice the next time they down vote without commenting.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;	" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I find I'm broadly in favour, providing people stick to the editing etiquette that we've already established (in brief, that the edits should be polish and not substance), as it can only improve the site and also by increasing the number of edits ought to get people over the &quot;Hey! Someone's just edited my stuff!&quot; barrier a lot sooner.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But there are some new etiquette issues brought up by the new system.  The one that I've just encountered - and there may be more - is what to do if I see an edit suggestion that is a definite improvement on what went before, but which I can see how to improve it even further.  There is an &quot;Improve&quot; link on the panel so clearly I'm supposed to be able to do this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's an example: Martin's [answer](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12247/checking-whether-a-file-is-empty/12249#12249) to Yossi Gil's question &quot; https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12247/checking-whether-a-file-is-empty &quot;.  Yossi suggested an improvement, but I could see some further improvements, so I did them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at the history of this question, I see that one of my worries is allayed: Yossi's edit is in the history with mine on top, so it would *appear* as though &quot;edit - improve&quot; is the same as &quot;edit - approve, re-edit&quot;.  Looking at Yossi's reputation, I think that he has also gained the 2 points for the edit (which is as it should be).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But still something feels not quite right, and I'm not sure that I can put my finger on it.  I feel as though I'm stealing something ... intangible ... from Yossi here since he was the one who spotted the need for an edit in the first place but my name is the one that ends up on the question.  Also, it seems easier to reach the &quot;automatically convert to CW&quot; threshold this way so perhaps improvers shouldn't be so ready to improve.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't know.  So, questions: does anyone else feel that there is something in this, or am I being over sensitive?  If the former, does anyone have any suggestions?

Well, actually, I know that I don't like it.  I'm just not sure whether I'm being a bit over-sensitive or not.  It seems a bit small and petty (of me), but first impressions are important.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing I **really really like** about TeX-SX is how friendly we try to be, particular with new users.  This might be a feature of TeX itself: we all remember vividly that day when we sat down to write our first TeX document and stared in bemusement at web pages, books, or whatever as we tried to figure out what on earth was going on.  I think that that shared memory helps us with new users: a lot of stuff here is confusing and it isn't clear at the start how it works.  So when someone comes along and does something wrong, we don't jump on them but try to explain what is the best way of doing things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One thing that helps with this is our list of [stock messages](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/430/86).  For those who haven't encountered this list, it's a list of templates that can be used in common situations, particularly with new users.  Note the &quot;can be used&quot;.  There is no compulsion about it.  The point is that these make it really easy to be polite!  If you don't have time to compose a detailed specific message, you can just copy one of the templates and know that it won't be rude or abrupt.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another thing that helps (I think) is that we take our time.  We have the luxury of doing this because we don't get that many problem posts: TeX-SX is probably one of the easiest sites to work out if something is &quot;on topic&quot; or not.  I know that other sites have problems with this and there, of course, it's important to act fast.  But here I like to think that we give people time to correct their own mistakes.  Certainly when I was a pro-tem moderator we did this, and reading [Joseph's blog post](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2011/09/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-tex-sx-moderator/) shows that this still continues.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why am I saying all of this?  It's because I just spotted some activity by a non-TeX-SX moderator on the main site which whilst not going against the letter of the law, doesn't take into account our local interpretations of it.  10k users can see the original at https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/26055/86.  For the rest, the story is that a new user posted a question as an answer.  This is common enough that we have a stock message for it.  Werner posted a comment that explained that the situation very nicely (this wasn't the stock message, but is at least as polite which is part of my point about these messages):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Best to ask a new question, since (i) this is not an answer to the question, even though you mention it; (ii) you won't receive the attention required to answer it here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This got a &quot;great comment&quot; vote, though I don't know when that happened.  Shortly after this (2hrs), one of the non-TeX-SX moderators came along and posted this comment:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Welcome to LaTeX! If you have another question, please ask it by clicking the Ask Question button. Meanwhile, stating that you know the rule and then ignoring it shows blatant disregard for the effort of our entire community in curating this site. Please respect what we are building here -- we're not just being picky, these are lessons we've learned over years of asking and answering, and making that information as useful as possible for future searchers. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as content goes, I can't fault it.  But as a &quot;welcoming message&quot; then I can.  Quite apart from the site name (I imagine all the ConTeXt users up in arms at this point!), I don't like the &quot;blatant disregard&quot;, nor the &quot;Please respect&quot; phrase (general rule of thumb: any phrase using the word &quot;respect&quot; probably isn't respectful!).  Also, TeX-SX is just a little over a year old and we're a *different* community to the SE/SO one.  We're learning our own lessons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The user went on to post a fresh question and left a new answer at this one saying:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; OK, I have posted another answer. Tx,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since this user didn't have the reputation to comment and is new to the site, that's not actually an unreasonable thing to have done.  It's not the right thing, but they'll learn.  The non-TeX-SX moderator then posted:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Welcome to LaTeX! Please don't add &quot;thanks&quot; as answers. Invest some time in the site and you will gain sufficient privileges to upvote content you like, which is the LaTeX way of saying thank you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now this message looks just a little bit odd.  Why the &quot;Welcome to LaTeX!&quot; again?  Didn't we just have that?  And the second sentence doesn't make any sense at all.  This isn't a &quot;Thanks&quot; message.  Okay, it has &quot;Tx&quot; in it (which I guess expands to &quot;Thanks&quot;).  The last sentence is similarly brusque to the previous message.  So this one has me a little confused.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Until I look at the time stamps on this second exchange.  The user posted their question, and their &quot;Tx&quot; message **before** the non-TeX-SX moderator appeared on the scene.  The &quot;Tx&quot; message was to *Werner*!  So the whole situation was over before the non-TeX-SX moderator appeared, the new user had learnt about posting new questions, okay they needed to know about non-answers (but we have a **polite** stock message for that too).  They had even been given an answer to their question in this time!  So all that was really needed by a moderator was to delete those two non-answers, and even that wasn't urgent as the user had learnt what to do and Werner's comment contained all the necessary information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The more I look at the non-TeX-SX moderator's comments, the more they look like stock comments themselves.  If true, this would be a bit ironic given Jeff Atwood's comment on our stock comments thread:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I'm not a huge fan of any automated &quot;one size fits all&quot; processes like this, but as an experiment to see what happens, it's OK.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now I could try to contact the non-TeX-SX moderator themself.  They have asked a question (one!) here, though I don't really think that they are a member of our community yet.  Indeed, I hope that this moderator joins in this discussion.  But really I want to know what *our* community thinks of this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, I may be just jumping at shadows.  This may be a single event and not a precursor of more intervention from the SE team.  If so, I'll be happy.  If not, I'll be worried.  I **like** our community.  It's not perfect, but it's a lot nicer than any of the other SE sites I've participated in (though photography gets close).  Of course we want to make it better, and would welcome help in doing so, but this doesn't feel helpful to me." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

All of the above relate to horizontal alignment. I think I've always tagged `\halign` questions with [tag:horizontal-alignment], and so was wondering what purpose does the [tag:tables] tag represent since it outrules `table` (for [tag:floats]), and isn't specifically about [tag:tabular] (since its name is [tag:tables] and not [tag:tabular]).  On the one hand, `\halign` questions could be in [tag:tables] just as well as [tag:tables] could be [tag:horizontal-alignment]. It should be noted that `tabular` uses `\halign` internally, and `\halign` comes from “horizontal alignment”.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To me it would seem logical if [tag:tables] was a synonym for [tag:horizontal-alignment], and for actual `tabular` questions there would be a tag [tag:tabular].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What do you think?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Speaking of [tag:horizontal-alignment], I find the current wiki rather confusing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [tag:horizontal-alignment] is about aligning document elements horizontally, e.g. typesetting paragraphs using `\centering` or `\raggedright` or adjusting the horizontal position of several equation or table components. If your question is generally about (horizontal) white space, use [tag:spacing] instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;, because, as I understand, neither `\centering`, nor `\raggedright` actually **align** anything.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Maybe those two could fit into a tag like [tag:paragraph-shape] or similar?"

I apologize if it appears misleading after reading further on and invite you to find a better 'title'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And now to the core of the problem: AFAIK, questions that could be tagged {please-do-my-homework-for-me} are not exactly welcome. We tolerate them, but usually ask for a minimal code snippet from the OP (in some cases of course this does not apply). It seems to me that questions of this kind, where a figure is posted and the user just waits for someone to have mercy on him/her and do the job, have become more frequent. Same for questions where it is clear that the OP just didn't bother to search for an existing answer. So far, so good. It could come from a totally disgruntled student who is in the middle of a crunch and can't line up two words that make sense after a 72 hour shift - and this is the last hope, but it could also be a lazy one, who just slaps the question/picture on the site. Either way, we are not here to judge, but to help. So, what I really would like to sort out is to have a proper guideline for these situations and to avoid the kind of totally schizophrenic attitude that I recently witnessed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For reference see [Exhibit A](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/121026/tikz-drawing-a-ring-with-nodes): The OP just posted a picture asking to have it done in `TikZ`. In return he/she was asked to post some code. Meanwhile the question got some close votes and at the same time comments with hints to solve the problem... Now, IMHO the drawing is not particularly challenging to do in `TikZ`, still, before the OP did post anything to show his/her efforts, the question was answered... So what is the right way to do it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - ask for MWE and *wait* for it (we have 'answer the unanswered' sessions quite regularly, so if the question is 'abandoned', it could be answered then)&#xD;&#xA; - vote close (into what category of close reasons should it be put then?)&#xD;&#xA; - answer it anyway&#xD;&#xA; - introduce a **{do-this-for-me-I-don't-have-the-time-for-whatever-reason}** tag&#xD;&#xA; - other (please specify)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please cast your vote! `:)`&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

These numerals are used by default, but can be modified as well, as long as the cited numeral is changed as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Why should one use this approach?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Submission using this method [has been available since August 2010](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/08/new-image-upload-support/) and is the preferred way to upload images. Using any other method (for example, manual upload) would cause the images to be removed over time. Also, linking to an external web image is not preferred, since future image removal on the linked site would leave a broken link on TeX.SX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## I'm being told that I cannot insert an image. What now?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;New or low-reputation users are unable to post images; a [privilege](https://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/new-user) available to users with at least 10 reputation. Note: you are able to upload images, just not post them - there is a difference. As such, upload the image as usual and remove the preceding `!`. Other community members and moderators with [edit privileges](https://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/edit) will be able to revert the removal of `!` in order to embed the image in your post. That is, leave your uploaded image in the following format in your post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    [Your image description](https://i.stack.imgur.com/&lt;filename&gt;)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The &quot;site janitors&quot; will clean this up very quickly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## I've uploaded an image, now I'd like to crop it. Is that possible?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You should either re-upload a cropped version of the image, or you could [use imgur.com's website to crop an image](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1799/how-do-you-crop-an-attached-pdf/1802#1802). For more information, see https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1799/how-do-you-crop-an-attached-pdf&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## What image types are supported for upload?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The following file types are uploadable (as per the [imgur FAQ](http://imgur.com/faq#types)): JPEG, GIF, PNG, APNG, TIFF, BMP, PDF, XCF (GIMP). Note that the TIFF, BMP, PDF and XCF formats will be converted to PNG on upload.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## I have a large-format image that I want to upload. Is there a limit?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The display engine of the Stack Exchange network shrinks the image to fit within the horizontal boundary of the post, regardless of its size. However, there is a file limit. According to the [imgur FAQ](http://imgur.com/faq#size):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The maximum non-animated file size you can upload is 10MB. However, if&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the image is over 1MB then it will automatically be compressed or&#xD;&#xA;&gt; resized to 1MB, for better viewing on the net. The maximum animated&#xD;&#xA;&gt; file size (both GIF and PNG) is 2MB.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The downsized display of my large-format image is suboptimal. How do I display it at 100% zoom?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the original uploaded image is not resized at upload, you can link to it. This would allow users to view it at full resolution in their browser (or elsewhere). Here's how: Assuming that you uploaded an image&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;![A picture that is quite large][7]&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;you could make it a hyperlink by using the StackExchange markdown&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;[![A picture that is quite large][7]][7]&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/pre&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Can I add tooltip text to my uploaded image?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes.

The way that list is provided to the software may be different but is not part of the question (and would be off-topic anyway). However the same list can be used for many different VC software products.

The *reality* is that many people never learn to write proper TeX at all, precisely because they are left alone in the vast jungle of classes and packages, many of which are obsolete, poorly written, unnecessary, do not work together, or break core functionality. Furthermore, there is an equally outdated collection of manuals on the Internet that promote bad coding practice and wrong solutions. As a result, a lot of people get started on TeX by taking over preambles from others, which are filled with precisely the mentioned kind of packages. For instance, I have found LaTeX preambles on the Internet that still use `\documentstyle`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my opinion, a lot of people would benefit from a topic on this page that showed up-to-date, well-written and well-documented preambles, created and maintained by some of the TeX oracles in here.

This structure is the fundamental building block for the site. The top entry of every post is the question, while answers are given below it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here is what the [FAQ](https://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/create-posts) mentions regarding posting answers:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Remember, if it's *not* an answer to the posted question, it does not&#xD;&#xA;&gt; belong among the answers!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By adding a *follow-up question* within the *answer* section of a post (also called a &quot;non-answer&quot;), many things can happen:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Your question will typically be displayed at the bottom of the entire post, since answers are usually sorted by vote count (unless otherwise selected by the user). As such, your question could likely go unnoticed or not receive the attention it deserves.&#xD;&#xA;- The community could consider this a [bad thing](https://tex.stackexchange.com/faq#flagging), and flag it for moderator attention. If left unattended, your question could even be downvoted by the community members (causing [a loss in reputation](https://tex.stackexchange.com/faq#reputation)) since you are not adhering to the Q&amp;A format of the network.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is therefore suggested that you do the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Repost your question as an entirely new question by clicking the [Ask Question](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ask) link within the site banner:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Include a reference to the original post by starting with something like:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; This is a follow-up question to [https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/...](http://tex.stackechange.com/questions/)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; and adequately describe why the presented solutions do not solve your problem. This will give the community a frame of reference from which to formulate an alternative approach, taking your setup and new constraints into consideration.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Delete your original question from the answer section of the previous post, by clicking the `delete` button at the bottom of your question:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Even though it will still be visible to you (and some high-reputation users), it will be considered removed from the &quot;answer&quot; section of the post. Alternatively, click on the `flag` button and request that a moderator delete it for you:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; ![enter image description here][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Moderators are there to keep the site clean, responding to flagged non-answers by community members through comments and eventually deleting them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, if you are a fairly new user, asking a new question is the best way to solicit feedback, both via answers from the community as well as [comments](https://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges/comment) from other users. Posting a non-answer, however, generally restricts your responses/feedback. As such, feedback and clarification of your problem is best served as a question on its own (even if it is a follow-up), rather than an &quot;answer&quot; to another question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/V3au3.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ec3DI.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/keY9s.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The question was [TeX Live — problem with install \[Ubuntu, bash\]; new packages][1]. I realized now from reading the links provided in the question that the questions are very much alike and are actually duplicates of each other if not for asking about specific packages. There seems to be two general considerations when faced with the questions: 1) Vote to close the question for possible duplication, and 2) answer the question or provide links in comments to previous posts in order to encourage the user to have greater future participation in TeX.SX (since it looks like most of the posts were done at the time when the OP is relatively new to TeX.SX). Maybe one way to go about it nicely is to comment that some posts have already been written which closely resemble the problem and post an encouragement to post more questions in the future and post a link to some guidelines when posting a question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/66855/tex-live-problem-with-install-ubuntu-bash-new-packages/68883#68883" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There are some places that have courses in how to use TeX/LaTeX, and presumably they assign homework, but there are a few aspects of that that make me doubtful that people would ask their homework questions here in the same way that they do on, say, Maths-SX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Nonetheless, we do get the occasional question that has a &quot;homework feel&quot; to it in that they appear to simply state a problem with no motivation or explanation as to what they've already done to try to solve it.  An example is: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/32625/86&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, I don't think that actual homework questions are going to be a large problem for us so I don't think that having an *official homework policy* is either necessary or useful (and given the hassle that they have on Maths-SX with deciding and enforcing such a policy, I'd like to avoid it here).  But questions like the above need *some* action.  I'd rather treat the symptom than the cause and it seems that the simplest treatment is to have a text block that can be used to put a polite and informative comment on such a question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In order to devise such a text block, we need to identify what exactly it is about questions like this that needs improving.  Here's my initial reaction:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. **Impersonal**.  I like to know that I'm helping *a person* so use of the personal pronoun is good in a question.&#xD;&#xA;1. **No motivation**. Not for the original problem, but for the TeX-related part.  What is this for?  What sort of document?  That sort of thing.&#xD;&#xA;1. **No work done**. There's no evidence of having thought how one might start, or what tools one might use.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now I'm well aware that such a question can just be a feature of someone's lack of facility with English, or with this place.  That's why I think that treating the symptoms, not the cause, is better for us: it's the same treatment whether it came from homework as from someone's Norwegian research article.  That's also why I'd like a *polite* text block that can be used.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(And, just to remind everyone, the text blocks are not there because they *have* to be used, but to provide a base-line of civility and politeness for this place.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess I have to have a question ... so here are some:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Does anyone have a different main outlook on the issues that I've raised?&#xD;&#xA;1. Does anyone have other characteristics of these questions that should be addressed in a text block?&#xD;&#xA;1. Does anyone have a suggestion for the text block itself?&#xD;&#xA;1. Am I just tilting at windmills?" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There's no revision history, and when they are deleted they're gone for good.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note the _deleted_ part: comments (and indeed other content) can be removed not only by the original author but also by the moderators or SE staff. In particular, long threads of comments are not encouraged by the StackOverflow model and may be removed/reduced once they have done their job. (The back-end of the site automatically flags up any question with 20 or more comments.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions and answers can be deleted manually or automatically. The latter happens to avoid a build-up of closed, unanswered questions with low views, so that searching the site will (hopefully) give useful data.

All posts are therefore subject to the site license and may be edited/removed by others under defined conditions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On comments, anyone posting them should work on the basis that they might be removed at some stage. Comments are quite deliberately not given the same status as Q/A content. They cannot be searched, they cannot be edited by others (wiki-like), they do not gain rep, _etc._ This is part of the site design and is intended to make the _questions_ and _answers_ the place where the 'value' is.  Extended discussion works poorly in comments in any case, and is best handled in chat.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that the back-end retains all data posted to the site.

The curriculum vitae (CV) used for academic purposes in the UK (and in other European countries) is more akin to the résumé — a shorter, summary version of one's education and experience — than to the longer and more detailed c.v. that is expected in U.S. academic circles.

As suspected, it was an easy problem: There was an old version of biber somewhere in the OS path. This was discovered very quickly through the comments.

The problem was something totally unrelated to the question&#xD;&#xA;   - https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/82405/figure-referencing-not-working&#xD;&#xA;3. *Identical* duplicates (as mentioned by Joseph in his answer)&#xD;&#xA;   - https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/84552/are-latex-et-al-languages-or-packages&#xD;&#xA;4. The question is really unspecific, probably no proper MWE, and (thus) possibly several issues in one question&#xD;&#xA;   - https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/76235/errors-dont-know-how-to-fix&#xD;&#xA;   - https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/41478/looking-for-an-error&#xD;&#xA;6.

The problem is extremely trivial (typo)&#xD;&#xA;   - https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/42103/undefined-control-sequence-undetectable&#xD;&#xA;9. Question is off-topic and wasn’t migrated&#xD;&#xA;   - https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/56073/how-can-i-open-a-woff-file-on-mac-osx&#xD;&#xA;   - https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/48661/mathematica-notebook-saved&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My general goal in deleting such questions is to **uphold the overall quality** of tex.sx and to foster the aspects that make stand out from “normal” forums. I don’t really think we want to help users googling their problem just randomly, but rather through specific and well-formed questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*If* a problem is generally relevant, the question should either be edited to fit our format (and not deleted), or the question should be asked again in a new post, either as a dummy question or by the next user coming across this problem. Most of the advice given to the OPs of the questions I linked to is pretty general and could be given again any time by many of our experienced users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Questions containing several problems/questions might keep good questions, containing only one problem, from being asked.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And finally, in exchange for helping them with their problems, we expect users to make the effort and ask proper questions with a MWE etc. – if they don’t they shouldn’t be “rewarded” with the Stack Exchange “currency” of reputation. However, if the question was voted below zero, deleting it gives the user a chance to keep going and ask better questions without the “burden” of bad questions in their profile.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Summing up**, I’d be happy to see a little more activity on the [delete vote page][1] and us as a community weeding out just really the worst of the closed questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/tools?tab=delete&amp;daterange=last30days &quot;10k users only&quot;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In the description it says&#xD;&#xA;&gt; {indexing} is about creating an index or similar lists for your&#xD;&#xA;&gt; document, usually by means of executing makeindex.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, there is an own tag {xindy}, for example.

That means that all five close-voters elected to vote-to-close for the same post. The title of the linked post makes sense now, as they both want &quot;figures side-by-side&quot;. However, this suggested link was [later changed](https://tex.stackexchange.com/revisions/c2acb52d-dd6d-4404-92e3-a773c5caf216/view-source) (almost 3 years after the original closure) to point to [the duplicate you cite](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/111496/5764). The reason here seems intuitive, since the former itself was closed as a duplicate of the latter. It's not always logical to say that if A should be closed as a duplicate of B and that B should be closed of a duplicate of C, that A might just as well be closed as a duplicate of C. It works sometimes, but not always, since the (human) logic and discussion may not relate to one another.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Keep in mind that, at the time the decision was made, it sounded reasonable. And, things change over time.

This is okay for cylinders and speep truncated cones, but not for flat ones: `\tikz   \tkzTruncatedCone{5}{0}{1};` will look like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll try to math out an automated way (probably **Andrew Stacey** can help :D, I remember a great cylinder answer)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * &lt;STRIKE&gt;also, the lines are inconsistent: the upper circle is gray, the sides black, and the lower circle is half/half.&lt;/STRIKE&gt; This can be solved by first doing all the shadings and fillings, then the drawings.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * &lt;STRIKE&gt;While the lower shading looks good, the upper one looks bad, it makes me think of an open tin can, not really a cylinder. I'll head for the kitchen and look for a can of beans or something to come up with a suggestion.&lt;/STRIKE&gt; Giving the top a lighter shading does the trick, something like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * &lt;STRIKE&gt;I both like and dislike your cuboid approach: While its a nice idea to make certain sets of sides lighter, I dont like it to be left/right.

Probably there is a reason.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(The same way, nobody is moving from SVN to CSV.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3) Big companies are moving there opensource projects from their own repos to github (like [Google][3] and [Microsoft][4]) . Probably there is a reason.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4) Github has a solid business model that allows them to not have commercials on their site. This is not the case for sourceforge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What are the cons to move to github ?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can see only one : if the core team of TikZ is not used to use git, it has to learn it.

If a reserved character is found in a URI component and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; no delimiting role is known for that character, then it must be&#xD;&#xA;&gt; interpreted as representing the data octet corresponding to that&#xD;&#xA;&gt; character's encoding in US-ASCII.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Take this URL:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    https://gitorious.org/context/context/source/b76759d73e6734cb014fe46da1f8521dcc9a8d71:metapost/context/base/mp-mlib.mpiv#L182-256&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to [the RFC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3) the colon&#xD;&#xA;belongs to the *path* part:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;       foo://example.com:8042/over/there?name=ferret#nose&#xD;&#xA;&gt;       \_/   \______________/\_________/ \_________/ \__/&#xD;&#xA;&gt;        |           |            |            |        |&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     scheme     authority       path        query   fragment&#xD;&#xA;&gt;        |   _____________________|__&#xD;&#xA;&gt;       / \ /                        &gt;       urn:example:animal:ferret:nose&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Furthermore, the path is of type&#xD;&#xA;[path-absolute](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3),&#xD;&#xA;which requires the syntax `path-absolute = &quot;/&quot; [ segment-nz *( &quot;/&quot;&#xD;&#xA;segment ) ]` with `segment-nz = 1*pchar` and `segment = *pchar` and&#xD;&#xA;`pchar = unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / &quot;:&quot; / &quot;@&quot;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This means, the path can contain all unreserved characters, encoded&#xD;&#xA;characters or colons, if I'm not mistaken.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Workaround&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the time being an URL shortener can be used and the shortened&#xD;&#xA;URL can be included. However, this is generally not desirable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Discussion&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't know why stackexchange alters the link in the first place.&#xD;&#xA;As far as I know, the parentheses enclose an URL, which is only&#xD;&#xA;valid if has been properly encoded by the user. No further encoding&#xD;&#xA;is required.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT:** It was indeed a bug on gitorious side. And Marcin [committed a fix](https://gitorious.org/gitorious/mainline/commit/b4288cb228dbce734acfdc0701f5085e74c3ced9) today, which has already been released, so the link mentioned above resolves correctly."

Are we supposed to answer this kind of questions?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also I was playing roles and [pretending to be a beginner](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/565/how-can-i-get-rid-of-indentation-after-an-equation) to see the kind of responses I would get. With some early disappointment. I was given an answer but no knowledge as to why this was an answer, even though I was clearly confused (in my role) and had no clue about what I was doing. (I have to admit, maybe the whole role-playing thing also confused the people answering my question as they assumed that I *do* know at least the basics of LaTeX). But the point is that, in the end, I was given a fish when probably what I needed was to learn how to fish for myself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I actually think this is a rather big problem with the TeX/LaTeX culture at large. The web is plagued with lots of snippets of TeX hacks and the like, which people have been happily copy/pasting for years without knowing what they're doing. This results, as I've mentioned in that thread, in really lots of people scattering `\\`'s and `\noindent`'s everywhere in their documents. Once I've been an editor for the proceedings of a small conference, I don't want to tell you about the kind of horrible code abuses I saw there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So from the beginning I had been trying to push forward this TeX-StackExchange initiative because I think this could be a solution to that problem. Because here we can edit and keep the answers current and up to date (some people out there are still using `eepic`!). Because if someone has a question about an existing answer he can ask and get a clarification. And that's why I also think, particularly when the question is asked by a clear beginner, that we should make the extra effort to be more friendly and educate the people who will be later also asking and answering the questions of this site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Edit:** Just to clarify, I'm not suggesting that we should babysit new LaTeX users, neither we should tolerate lazy users who can't botter to read or follow instructions. Probably all that we need to provide is just enough information that an unexperienced but diligent user could use in order to figure out the way by themselves." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In his answer to the meta.tex.sx question https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1160/different-questions-with-the-same-answer, Andrew argues for merging these questions.

From the experts point of view, this may seem natural, but a user lacking this expert knowledge will see that instead of being given a solution to the symptoms they see, they are being told how to treat a completely different set of symptoms.  Without an explanation of why the two phenomena are about the same problem, this is a failure to answer the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I propose that our policy in this case is either (i) merge per Andrew's suggestion, ensuring that the question makes clear that answers should address both sets of symptoms, or (ii) tolerate different questions with analogous answers, provided that links between them, and our policy is also that we do not (*iii) close questions about one set of symptoms as being exact duplicate of another question that deals with quite different symptoms.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This question is in response to the closure of https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/82960/change-abstractname."

I might even go there and say that for me, it's almost more important to make questions applicable to a wider audience, i.e. more people with the same or a very similar problem, than helping the user who asked the question. The good thing, however, is that if you help &quot;every&quot; user out there, you'll also help the user who had the problem in the first place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So this is really an essential concept that I try to keep in mind whenever I act on tex.sx, no matter if I ask a question, answer one, or edit posts. This also is the reason why we're on a perpetual hunt for duplicate questions: All the information and help for one problem should be in one place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Coming back to your question about &quot;thanks&quot;: &quot;Personal&quot; bits like that are not really relevant for an abstract problem that aims to be maximally widely applicable.&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; Some personal background for the problem, e.g. for identifying [XY-problems][4], can be useful, but it might be a good approach to separate this from the core question, like I attempted to in https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/25701/bibtex-vs-biber-and-biblatex-vs-natbib.

But I think we should try to define some guidelines on how these questions should be handled by the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can see basically two kinds of approaches:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **One item per answer** (example: [What packages do people load by default in LaTeX?][packages])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* **One answer with all items** (example: [What are other good resources on-line for information about TeX, LaTeX and friends?][resources])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[packages]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/553/what-packages-do-people-load-by-default-in-latex&#xD;&#xA;[resources]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/162/what-are-other-good-resources-on-line-for-information-about-tex-latex-and-friend/1621#1621&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, the questions, ¿Should we try to prefer one style over the other? And, if so, ¿which one?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, I think any such question **has to be made Community Wiki**. First there is no “right” answer, `big-list` *means* many answers are expected. Moreover, the answers are likely to change over time (new packages coming making some old obsolete, new online resources showing up some going out). And I say this because the later example is not, yet, CW. (Does anyone has the power to do this yet? Or do we still need a moderator?)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, the advantage of “one item per answer” seems that we can discuss and vote answers individually. Which I think has been proven quite useful in the first example, so most common (useful?) answers naturally flow to the top. And it's easy to &quot;amend&quot; new or additional information to each answer as comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I also see the appeal of “one answer with all items”, it's all just *right there*, much less clutter, can be organized much more nicely. For example in the question about on-line resources, Stefan Kottwitz split his answers by Newsgroups, Webforums, FAQS, ... Which is impossible to do with the alternative approach.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Anyway, I think the “one answer with all items” has its problems. First, and that's why it should be CW, for ‘the’ answer there should be no [editing etiquette](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/340/when-is-it-and-isnt-acceptable-to-edit), the *only* way to add new information is to edit said answer. For example, *the* answer for the online-resources doesn't mention resources in spanish, if the answer were to be made complete I should be able to add them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But the problem is then that there is no way to “moderate” (as a community) the answers or the edits made to the “big-answer”. How can we know, from all the individual items, which ones are popular? which ones are more useful? But even worst, what happens if we all go an add all the links for all the (La)TeX online resources out there (the big and the small) in all the languages spoken in the world?

However, the answers vary a lot in terms of quality and the kinds of information they provide, which makes comparison harder than it would have to be. So I thought it might be nice to standardize the information available about every editor. Here’s what I’d propose to do:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Compile a list of features, which will be present in every editor’s answer (Unicode, RTL support, platforms, ...). This will pretty much result in standard answer template.&#xD;&#xA;- Create a sample document (~40 lines max) to take screen shots of in each editor, so the screen shots will be really comparable.&#xD;&#xA;- Have users here “sign up” for editors, i.e. one or a few users will be “responsible” for a specific editor that they are experienced in using. If the editor receives major updates, it’d be great if they could also update the answer accordingly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Each of these should be one CW answer here, I guess, which I’ll create; discussions can take place in the respective comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Sometimes, we get questions like “Which LaTeX editor can make fried eggs?” – in these cases, we could just create a call for action here (another answer as a to-do-list probably) and have the editor caretakers add the feature “Make fried eggs” to their respective editor’s answer. All the information neatly collected in one place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is, of course, the great Wikipedia article [*Comparison of TeX editors*][1], and we should try to avoid just duplicating that here. Instead, let’s take advantage of our format: screen shots are definitely a plus; we can me a little more subjective than Wikipedia; we can add a few words to a bare *yes* or *no*, if necessary; and, while I don’t know how up-to-date that article is, it might be easier for us to stay up-to-date.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Important: Let’s wait with updating the actual answers until we’ve pretty much sorted everything out here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Feel free to edit all answers without prior discussion.** I think most things won’t be very controversial, since it’s usually not an either-or situation. If the feature list or sample document get too extensive, we can always try to boil them down later.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Note** Any discussion comments that get 'actioned' will be removed periodically so the key points stay clear.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_TeX_editors" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Andrew and I wrestled with a few solutions, and I ended up accepting one of my own solutions.  Six months later a user named &quot;Gurvan&quot; submitted an answer, which I didn't understand and dismissed as inoperable.  Four months after that Gurvan came back and submitted another answer, which was really just a reiteration of the first answer, but with example code that demonstrated he was right.  Shortly after that the question got migrated here.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now I feel like Gurvan's answer (in its two parts) is probably the best one.

I suggest we don't have tags for packages that rarely raise questions here, but doing so is systematic, so it's an option.&#xD;&#xA;2. The package is about realising what Raph Levien calls *Hobby splines*, which are the innovative splines that John Hobby devised and used in Metapost  (see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/54771/curve-through-a-sequence-of-points-with-metapost-and-tikz), so we could have the concept tag `hobby-splines`.  While this tag would be a good fit for the questions that would be given the package tag above, I don't think this tag would actually cover more questions, so it is of marginal value.&#xD;&#xA;3. A more general version still, just `splines`, would indeed cover more questions, such as https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/22601/what-is-the-smooth-plot-interpolation-algorithm-in-pgfplots  This is my preferred option, but it raises the question of how to phrase the `splines` tag wiki so that it covers only the sufficiently geometric questions, and not just any of the 200+ questions to do with plotting curves.  Something along the lines of &quot;involving the choice of curve-fitting algorithm&quot; would do the trick.  The tag wiki can describe the most important splines in Tex-centric typesetting.&#xD;&#xA;4. Of course, the risk of the more general concept tag is that our restrictions on its use will mean that questions about our hobby package might not be able to carry the `splines` tag.  So a 4th option is to have both a `splines` concept tag and a `hobby` package tag, which seems obviously worse than 1.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Postscript&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An afterthought: do we really want to have unvarnished &quot;tribute&quot; package tags like `hobby` at all: if I wrote a package called Knuth that, say, mapped some idiomatic Knuth Tex onto Latex, and it actually got used and had questions asked about it, would we want the `knuth` tag to be about my package?

Producing La/TeX from the command line is theoretically possible, but practically impossible; so speaking of Emacs sounds to me much like speaking of Eclipse on a Java community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[According][1]&#xD;&#xA; to DavidZaslavsky “Editor-specific answers to an editor-independent question [...] are kind of a separate issue, but I'd say they're also okay.&#xD;&#xA;[According][2]&#xD;&#xA;to ShreevatsaR, “An answer about an obscure editor that is useful to fewer people will probably get fewer upvotes, but that's the way the system is intended to work.”&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Considering that Emacs is not an obscure editor and here seems second only to Lyx, I am surprised that a [question][3] I posed, concerned with spell check TeX files in Emacs, was closed as off topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And now I wonder and ask you how legitimate is to speak here about editors used to produce LaTeX documents, instead of pure LaTeX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Comment to diabonas&#xD;&#xA;--------------------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;diabonas: need editing here, since comments allow only a few lines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As far as I understand, we can speak about editors, but questions should be LaTeX specific.&#xD;&#xA;So, for example, if a question concerns  how to add a _LaTeX_ table in LyX, it can go;&#xD;&#xA;if the question deals with  changing the LyX fonts, that is  not OK, since it is non-LaTeX-specific as it could apply to a plain text file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If this is the policy of the community, of course we have to comply with it. But, please, try to search for [lyx] font... you will be surprised.&#xD;&#xA;Just an example, there is in fact a surprising huge number of questions editor oriented and non-LaTeX-specific. Based on them, I considered polite to post mine.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The specific case with Emacs is that, while it is so integrated with LaTeX to allow even live preview of LaTeX snippets, it is still a general purpose  editor.&#xD;&#xA;So if you ask how to spell for TexStudio and the likes, you can, but you are not very likely to apply it to plain text files, while in Emacs it is plausible to open non-LaTeX files.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fresh considerations inspired by Joseph Wright &#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Just believe me please, I am not trying to claim that I am right somehow, BTW a comment on behalf of Joseph Wright on the question, suggested to me a total rethink. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Joseph kindly addressed me to [bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318040][4]. This post basically _proves_ there is an actual bug (dated since 2005!) in the British dictionary and the discussion there suggests a number of workarounds, Mozilla oriented. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As of now the question can have an interest for quite a wider audience, since OpenOffice dictionaries (perhaps now LibreOffice) are used by so many editors. Besides the “en_GB” files affect more latexers than an American or a Briton might think. At least in Italy (I don’t know in the rest of Europe), British English is the language taught in the high schools (yes, they tell us it is an error to write “center”). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fact is that the workarounds suggested for Mozilla are kind of limited in scope: for example, they can’t suggest a strategy like this `\newcommand{\ie}{i.e.\ }` (well, very trivial, but you are surely thinking of something smarter). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the other side, Emacs has a probably stronger control on spelling compared with the others. For example one can use the `OTHERCHARS` argument in the dictionary list to control how words are built, and use a regexp like `['.]`. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These considerations altogether make me think that a joint discussion involving latexers and emacsers is far more efficient than a set of disjoint efforts and, for obvious reasons, this community seems the best place to develop it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/28/latex-editing-discussions-that-are-editor-specific&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/28/latex-editing-discussions-that-are-editor-specific&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/95052/british-latex-files-with-emacs-and-hunspell&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318040" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is clearly a form of bug report and these should be sent to the package author either using the package bug tracker or by email. This is important because the package author might not see the question otherwise, even if (s)he is an user of this site. Also, it's not the task of the TeX.SE community to fix package bugs.

This lead to the fact that as a community we have a general idea of what's, kind of, on topic and what not. This editor business is really tough because we already have a lot of editor questions and most of them end up showing buffer tricks, or screenshots of menu items etc. and if you can just go through them you'll see that the knowledge is not even close to TeX but mostly SuperUser.SE stuff. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I can summarize the main question treatment types: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  1. Emacs, Vim, LyX,... questions that receive quick answers survive even if they are off-topic because we upvote them and it goes to the archive as answered. &#xD;&#xA;  2. Similar type of questions that initiate a commenting festival, often end up in a custom chat room where users figure the issue among themselves and then we see a final comment along the lines of *Thanks, that solved my issue we can close this one.* and get closed with upvoted answers. &#xD;&#xA;  3. Similar type of questions dangling for a few months with no activity. These get closed in our famous *Answer the Unanswered* sessions. &#xD;&#xA;  4. Same type of questions that deal with the workflow of the editors and not TeX. For example here is one that I've answered https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/36919/texniccenter-on-windows-building-problems Notice that this was also on its way to be closed, had I not provided a guessed answer. So the main issue is to deal with these questions, not to close per se. They are mostly unanswerable. &#xD;&#xA;  5. Similar questions about the interference of TeX with Editor behavior and vice versa e.g. `shell-escape` related ones and others. They are most of the time on-topic. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So after this long example rundown the punchline is: In a community driven Q&amp;A site there are no strict rules but most of the time common agreements. You can pick up lots of TikZ questions that should have been closed but led to 50 upvoted stuff. So making sure that the rule is respected will piss off a lot of users for no reason. Hence, every question is judged individually but not against rules carved on stone.  If a question becomes interesting, we try not to steal the thunder of the users involved just to make sure that our rule is in place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can always come to the chat room and join our Emacs/Vim lovers' discussions (*not me, and yes, I miss a lot, I'm a noob,my pinky should be dislocated by now, butterflies, double rainbows, bla bla :P* ), I've seen a lot of Emacs trick-exchanges. You can also ask if such questions would be on topic or not before you spend time on writing up a question on chat or here. &#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Could you provide a minimal example that allows us to reproduce the problem?*&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's not really clear to me how a MWE would have illustrated the situation. Often, people ask us very poorly worded questions, or present us with complicated problems. But in certain instances such as this, the problem is very simple and quite clearly written. Asking them to make a mock-up document &amp;mdash; augmenting their already fairly clear question with the string of characters `$\textexclamdown$` &amp;mdash; doesn't really seem very helpful to anyone. (Maybe if we convinced them to post a graphic of what they got as output, this would be an interesting bit of trivia for people who look in on the question, but it still wouldn't give any further information as to what the problem or the solution is.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A similar case would be someone who was only taught the old font switches `\bf` and `\it`, and who would come to ask why combining the two doesn't produce a result which is both bold and italic. If I were a novice, someone who asked me to &quot;clarify&quot; by providing an example along the lines of `{\bf\it not actually bold italic}`, or (god forbid) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    {\bf\it not actually bold italic}&#xD;&#xA;    \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;would make me feel as though bureaucracy were more important than clarity to the people I was asking, and that would put me off participating very much. What's more, anyone who could provide an answer wouldn't really need such a MWE, because the real issue (that they're using deprecated syntax) is clear just from the fact that they're using `\bf` and `\it`. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think that there is going to be a class of question which will get asked here routinely, which is of this sort. If we want people to participate in this forum, recognizing when a question doesn't need any clarification or elaboration would be a good step in maintaining good participation, by avoiding small mis-steps which might alienate new users (either of *TeX or of this site)."

The probability of me actually being able to contribute is significantly higher than on a package-specific mailing list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Wider exposure of the package: since people come here looking for solutions to specific problems without necessarily having a package in mind, it is a chance to advertise your package and say, &quot;Have you thought of using my package _X_ for that?&quot;.  On a mailing list, people have to know about the package before they join.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Other people answer questions: as a package maintainer, most of the time all you'd have to do is say which answer you regard as the &quot;best&quot;.  Sometimes you might even learn something about your own package that you didn't know ...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. You can get a wider sense of who uses your package and what for.  By looking at what questions turn up relating to your package, you can get a sense of what type of problem people are trying to solve when using it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(I'm going to make this CW as I'd like it to be &quot;from the community&quot; rather than just from me.)"

I've already [asked about the generic text](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3632/text-for-off-topic-closure) and for some [predefined off-topic close reasons](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3608/new-close-reasons-selecting-predefined-off-topic-options). However, I think I at least didn't quite see _how_ this was going to work. So I'd like to ask about this again, but with a better understanding of how things are 'supposed' to work and with more background.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Background&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The idea of the new 'off-topic' approach is that the person who asked the question gets 'concrete' feedback on why their particular question was closed. This is made clear in a [meta post giving moderators advice](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/184637/what-do-site-moderators-need-to-do-to-support-the-new-custom-question-close-reas/185097), which says (amongst many things)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;At a bare minimum, **off-topic reasons should identify a _specific_ topic considered inappropriate**. If you're struggling to be specific, find an example of a question that is off-topic and discuss the factors that make it inappropriate for the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see, the 'Powers' are after specifics rather than a more general 'this is one of the things we don't do' answer. (In the mod chat room, it was also suggested that a list of 'please do not ask about ...' in the help would be useful.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Mechanism&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The mechanism which has been set up gives us broadly three possibilities within the 'off-topic' closure reason:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Vote to close for a _specific_ predefined reason&#xD;&#xA; 2. Vote to migrate to another site&#xD;&#xA; 3. Vote to close and give a free-text reason for the vote&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If someone has already used option (3), later voters will see this reason as an option, too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The concept is then that as long as at least two people vote in the same way, a specific reason is given for closure. If all of the votes are different, then the question gets the default text, currently&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This question does not appear to be about TeX, LaTeX or related typesetting systems, within the scope defined in the [help center](https://tex.stackexchange.com/help).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So changing that is actually not so useful: it's only really meant to pop up in a small number of cases where there's no agreement on why something is off-topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##What we need to do&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two things we need to do if this is going to work. Here, I want to focus on one of them: deciding on up to three pre-defined 'off-topic' reasons. We also need to 'fix' migration paths (they've all vanished), but I will address that separately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you can see in the [guidance for moderators](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/184637/what-do-site-moderators-need-to-do-to-support-the-new-custom-question-close-reas/185097), the suggestion is to come up with a list of common reasons for closure, and create texts for these which include guidance for the questioner. I guess one reason per answer would be best as we can then vote on them. Following the model suggested by the 'Powers', I think some form of link to a meta question or similar, which 'expands' on why a question is off-topic, might be useful within each text.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Notes&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The way the 'Powers' see off-topic, reasons here might cover things we've previously closed in other ways.  At the same time, it may also be the case that there are alternative approaches to different cases. Some examples:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - A [question on meta.SO](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/186366) asked about questions which turn out to be typos in the input. The suggestion there is that such questions should be flagged for deletion, as they are not really useful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Questions which turn out to require a package update could reasonably be answered rather than being closed at all. It's arguable that these may actually be pretty general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Out-and-out bug reports could be added to the help as a 'do not ask about' point, as well as potentially having a custom close reason.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Over time, we can of course alter what reasons we feel are 'most common'. So the list will not be set in stone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## The 'custom text' closure reason&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's worth noting that the 'Other (add a comment explaining what is wrong)' sub-choice for off-topic is meant to enable us to give a _specific_ reason for closing a question. For example, rather than just&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &gt; your question is off topic&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;you can imagine saying (for a hypothetical example)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  &gt; While _using_ or _understanding_ the Knuth-Plass algorithm in TeX is on-topic, implementing the algorithm in Python (or any other programming language) is not, as it requires general programming expertise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other people can then vote for this specific and (hopefully) useful text."

It happened in [this question](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/7340/1235) on the parent site before I edited the post and changed the blockquote to a code block. Here I don't want to talk about when to use which of these two; that's the topic of [another question on meta](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/788/1235). For those who wonder why I ask a very similar question as in my previous post: The question in that one is effectively locked by the &quot;status-bydesign&quot; tag.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For completeness I repeat the &quot;spoiler&quot; effect here:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ! LaTeX Error: File `hypernat.sty' not found.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You see that the text only shows up when the mouse hovers over it, and that the &quot;!&quot; has gone: This is a new feature that &quot;!&quot; introduces a &quot;spoiler&quot;. In the above example, the &quot;spoiler&quot; effect clearly is not desired. So I'd like to know if others agree that we want the feature turned off on tex.sx. Personally, I see no reason why we would want this feature.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the comments to [his answer to my earlier question](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/783/blockquote-doesnt-show-if-it-starts-with-an/787#787), Kevin Montrose wrote that I&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; will need a corpus of posts demonstrating that this feature is an actual problem, and not a theoretical one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;He noted himself that I won't find many posts where this is an issue. My point is: I think that the one example I gave is quite sufficient; it took me some time to find out what happened, and is was a &quot;naturally occurring&quot; thing as TeX error messages _always_ start with a &quot;!&quot;. And I'm sure it _will_ happen again that users post error messages in blockquotes. I think we don't want our users to learn all the features of the software before they can format and post a decent question, so even if a blockquote isn't optimal for error messages, it's OK for an inexperienced user to use it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two possibilities of turning the feature off:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Turn it off completely, so using `&gt;!` won't cause the paragraph to be marked as &quot;spoiler&quot; class at all.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2.

The title is &quot;Use a quality glossary and acronym list  *in LyX*&quot;. First the OP refers to Q&amp;A on how to write a glossary and acronym list *in LaTeX*. In the second sentence the OP states the wish to use that glossary and acronym list *in LyX*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason to ask such a question is that in LyX one cannot directly edit the LaTeX code. LyX automatically generates the LaTeX code but this process can be tweaked and it is possible to inject TeX code/ERT.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After showing a picture of the wanted result the OP mentions that the problem might be too big. The OP allows to solve the question in steps and *suggest* an approach (&quot;I have broken [up the question into] a *possible* first step, [...] I am *trying to use* two packages [...]. *My attempt* is shown below&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**The TeX.SX answers**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two answers on this: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Answer A: [one by another member](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/99564)&#xD;&#xA;- Answer B: one by myself. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Previously, I had commented on Answer A stating without details that I think it is &quot;not an answer&quot; and not downvoting. I deleted that. Because of a [recent duplicate](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/101069) I check Answer A again. The recently featured post &quot;https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3321&quot; is mainly about flagging but also states:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If the answer is really wrong, feel free to down-vote it (down to -1) and please add a comment to it if there isn't already a suitable one there.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I did that with leaving comments about the two major issues 1 and 2 but the author is objecting to them.

Compiling the LaTeX MWE of Answer A, I fail to get the glossary and acronym list in my PDF output as shown in Answer A. The author recently states&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; `\makeglossaries` is not needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Does the MWE produce glossary and acronym list in your PDF?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Where in Answer A do I find how to create the necessary auxiliary files .gls, .glg ... manually (even knowing that `makeglossaries` will create them for LaTeX is not enought since LyX does not place auxiliary files into your normal working directory) or how to configure LyX to automate the process?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Has my action been okay?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Furthermore, one could ask whether a simple copy and paste into LyX (where to  copy which part?) will work. The author of Answer A assumes that more or less (&quot;I don't know what this has to do with Lyx, so I ignore that.&quot;) I have also a different understanding of the OP question as I stated above. Is the recent comment on Answer A correct: &quot;The OP asked how to render the glossary and acronym list *with `nomenclature`*.&quot; Did the OP really asked for that?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;BTW, I noticed that my answer got downvoted today without stating any reason!

I don't think there should be a distinction in this context. Having at least an excerpt helps during (re)tagging and tag organization (usually performed by mods anyway), so the moderators have some extra incentive to establish some guidelines when a specific tag should be applied or not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** No.  And if you are looking for a moderator to make significant contributions in this regard, do not vote for me because I will disappoint you.  I am happy to keep contribution to questions and answers and being a camp counselor but I don't want to tempt myself into spending a lot of time writing tag wikis.  I *will* seek out and recruit tag wiki authors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep:** For subject areas where they are knowledgeable, community moderators have a higher-than-average responsibility for writing (and revising) tag wikis. For other areas, they should rather pester the &quot;top users&quot; to get some wiki entries started. Once the initial work is done, moderators may suggest possible additional content and act as copy editors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): No. That is the responsibility of all users who have been here sufficiently long to know what the various tags are about. On the other hand, I think the mods have a higher than average responsibility in *editing* and improving the tag wiki pages (e.g. by correcting spelling and trying to keep them consistent), as the list of recent tag wiki changes is only visible with the mod/10k tools.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer): The moderators should make sure that important tasks on tex.sx are getting done. Tag wiki pages are IMHO important. As I already wrote in my candidature post I would like to encourage *all* users to provide good tag wiki suggestions. I made many tag wiki suggestions already in the past and as moderator I will continue to do so even more. I would like to get every user to make suggestions for the tags they are most knowledgeable in. Some tags still need some clarification. Sometimes I'm not sure which area they exactly cover. This things can and should be discussed on Meta. A have the idea to compile a list of to-be-edited tag wiki pages for the more important and frequently used tags.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright][1]** Moderators are high-reputation members of the community in most cases, and so do have a place in writing tags where they do know about them. However, that's purely a member of the community, not as a moderator _per se_. So I would not expect any additional responsibility on moderators in respect of tag writing. (My answer is therefore very similar to several of the other candidates: whether you regard this as a good thing I don't know.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Stefan Kottwitz**][2] Writing tag wikis is a joint effort. I assume mainly tag specialists would edit wikis where they are the experts or propose edits. Moderators could help and keep looking at it in order to keep a good standard. I edited a number of tag wikis, but feeling as a user, not as a moderator. However, moderators could show ideas. For example, I can imagine tag wikis for broad tags being like a good structured mini web site: starting with a description, showing a list of related packages and listing remarkable question on this site, sorted by sub topic, further showing sub tags and closely related tags. This is an idea for the future when we will have to manage a huge amount of material.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** Yes, I think that moderators should have more responsibility for the tag wiki than the rest of us. That doesn't mean that they should write tag wikis for tags they aren't familiar with, that would be counter-productive. But they should make sure the wikis are well structured, clearly written with working links. And if the moderators also happen to be experts in some tags, they certainly should take it upon themselves to write them up.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213/stefan-kottwitz" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

First off, the StackExchange 'back end' works in the same way for all sites, which means that 'we' (TeX-SX) have to use the structures as decided on by the 'Powers'. Occasionally that means we have some oddities. That leads to the second point: 'off topic' is (currently) intended not only to cover questions which are out-and-out not about TeX, _etc._, but also for things that are not answered 'by convention' (I'll return to this below). The latter has tended to include stuff like typos, mistakes reading the docs and so on. The logic there is that the StackExchange 'concept' is that it's not a forum in the sense that the same question shouldn't be answered over-and-over and answers shouldn't be so focussed on the OP that they will never be of use to anyone else. Things like typos, needing to update a TeX system or misunderstandings tend to fall into this category: the specific question is not likely to get asked again, and any answer would probably not help another user.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All that said, probably the biggest reason here is that we don't have what we used to have: a close reason that is focussed specifically on a question being too narrow. The 'Powers' got rid of 'Too Localized' as they felt that it was being misused (across the network): the StackExchange intention for this was it applied to only things that could never be seen by anyone other than the OP, rather than being used for the type of case I've outlined (typos for example can come up on a lot of sites, and most don't answer them). The Powers have been very definite that such closings are because the question is 'off topic' (perhaps 'out of scope').&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think it's fair to say that many of us feel that closing these 'localized' questions is the right approach ('read the manual' is not really adding value) but would prefer a better reason than 'off topic'. However, at present we don't have one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that in some cases the best approach with 'good' basic questions is to sort out a canonical answer and then dupe to it. Probably the most obvious example is https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/63852/question-mark-instead-of-citation-number, which is a good question with a good answer to a very common issue."

A canonical question is usually a question that shows up *a lot* as a duplicate (i.e. the same question in varying forms is asked a lot by new users). As a community, we've often decided that it's helpful to have a single comprehensive answer or set of answers to which all new duplicates can be referred.

Among us there are both what&#xD;&#xA;&gt; we might call &quot;power users&quot; and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;TeXnicians&quot; (which is obviously both&#xD;&#xA;&gt; a caricature and a continuum). You can&#xD;&#xA;&gt; identify yourself on this continuum by&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the number of questions you answer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; with answers that involve&#xD;&#xA;&gt; `\makeatletter ... \makeatother`&#xD;&#xA;&gt; instead of `\usepackage{}` :-).&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; I'm assuming a continuum that is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; roughly *beginner - normal user -&#xD;&#xA;&gt; power user - TeXnician*, but all of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; the moderator candidates presumably&#xD;&#xA;&gt; meet the *power user* threshold.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; And while the difference between&#xD;&#xA;&gt; *power user* and *TeXnician* is partially a difference in *knowledge*,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I also see it much more so as a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; difference in *attitude* toward&#xD;&#xA;&gt; solutions than actual knowledge per&#xD;&#xA;&gt; se.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; So, where do you fit on the continuum, and how important do you think it is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that the moderators *represent* the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; continuum, rather than be stacked up&#xD;&#xA;&gt; at one end or the other of it?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Joseph Wright**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright) As I'm a member of the [LaTeX3 Project](http://www.latex-project.org/latex3.html), I guess I'm firmly at one end of that spectrum (beyond `\makeatletter` and all the way to &lt;code&gt;\catcode`\@=11\relax&lt;/code&gt;), but my focus as a developer is mainly on making life easier for users. So I'd rather be able to provide an easy-to-follow pre-packaged answer than 'show off' with a long piece of code (depending on the question of course). Now, does it _matter_? That's back with 'what should a moderator do?', where the key thing is to know how to _ask_ questions. I guess in an ideal world we want a balance, so that the moderator team can bring experience of different parts of the TeX world to the site. But that should not be the over-riding criterion: being a good moderator is much more about the community side than the technical detail of questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): I'd put myself somewhere below power user. However, my knowledge of (La)TeX has increased quite a lot in the last few months, simply by reading lots of questions and answers on this site. In my answers I typically prefer simple prepackaged solutions, except when it is unavoidable (which, for drawing pictures, it often is). Does it matter for moderation? I don't think so. The job of moderators isn't to write answers. When they write answers, they do so as normal members in the community. Of course a fair knowledge of the field helps to judge what a good question/answer is and thus should help with moderation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer):&#xD;&#xA;Where I fit on the continuum? Mmmm, I'm more a TeXnician than a power user. I keep coding more LaTeX packages than writing actual content. :-) However, I find it important that good answers are given which can be grasp by beginners or normal users. I don't like it when someone just posts some code without *any* explanation. These good answers should be based on existing packages whenever possible and reasonable, or mention these as alternatives.  &#xD;&#xA;Moderators should have a good knowledge about (La)TeX but I don't think their &quot;rank&quot;, TeXnician or power user etc., is very important. Interest in this site and bringing in drive, responsibility and time are the more important properties. If you are now a total geek or an occasional user doesn't matter that much for the daily moderator's work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Tapankov**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/711/martin-tapankov) I guess I'm somewhat above normal user level, but I wouldn't call myself &quot;power user&quot;. I have learnt a lot from reading questions on the site in the last months, but still I have a long way to go. I have a practical disposition and try to answer questions a bit more thoroughly than what is necessary, in the hope that the answer will be a learning experience for the user instead of a prepackaged copy-and-paste solution. I like it when others do that as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the question about the continuum: For me there is no direct correlation between qualities that make a good moderator and those of a TeXnician. That being said, there are some moderator tasks that can benefit from expert knowledge and insight (tag organization, and wikis come to mind). I think time spent on the site and positive attitude are more important for moderators than the amount of `@`s in their answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**lockstep**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/510/lockstep) On the continuum, I would classify myself somewhere between normal and power user (my answers occasionally involve `\makeatletter`). My &quot;power user&quot; knowledge is for the most part concentrated in the bibliographies/biblatex subject area; apart from that, it's rather my curiosity than my actual LaTeX knowledge that distinguishes me from a normal user. (And the TeX command I use most is `\hyphenation`.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think it's important that at least one community moderator is at the &quot;TeXnician&quot; end so that bad questions/answers about [tag:tex-core] and the like will get identified and sorted out. For the other mods, &quot;normal user&quot; knowledge and a keen interest in the site should suffice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** I am emphatically a &quot;normal user&quot;. But you need normal users to answer normal user questions. If someone's question is &quot;Why doesn't `&amp;` display an ampersand?&quot;, giving them an answer that involves changing the catcode of `&amp;` and then redefining it as the unicode character for ampersand would be silly. (OK, that would be a silly thing to do regardless of what the question was, but... whatever). I don't think the level of TeXnical ability has much to do with ability to moderate this site. I think, in a way, having at least one moderator who _wasn't_ a TeXnician would be valuable: those of us closer to the ground have more understanding of new users' weak little minds. (This is obviously patently unfair: the top users on this site are all phenomenally helpful and patient with new users)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Konrad**: I am a power user in that I use LaTeX for almost *all* of my document work. But on the other hand, I’m not very proficient and I have (to date) not read a single LaTeX book from cover to cover. I *try* to use LaTeX “the right way” but I’m much less proficient than all the other candidates. I don’t think it’s that important that the moderators represent the continuum, though: even the best have at one point been beginners, and they hopefully remember how inadequate they felt. ;-)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The OP *probably* wanted to make the answer of https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/8946/978 work within LyX. He *actually* asked something different: instead of making the `glossaries` approach work in LyX, he tried to use `nomencl`, and get the first-use/subsequent-use scheme that `glossaries` provides into that. Now, there are two approaches: answer what the OP *should* have asked, or answer what the OP *actually* asked. I usually chose the second, and so I did here, suggesting in the first paragraph of my answer that this might be the wrong way to address the problem at hand. You seem to chose the first approach, making a pure `glossaries` solution work within LyX. And I think here started our misunderstanding:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You commented several times suggesting that my answer does not use the full `glossaries` machinery. This is true, but fails to see the point of using the `nomencl` machinery (`\makenomenclature` ... `\nomenclature{...}` ... `\printnomenclature`). So to answer your first question: no, in my approach `\makeglossaries` is not needed, as we don't write a `glo` file, and won't read a `gls` file. Similarly, the answer to your second question is that my answer did not mention how to create the `nls` file, but a `gls` file is not needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your third question is the hardest one. I think we worked out in chat that my solution can work. I fully agree that it might be hard to use, in particular for new users that might prefer a more LyXy way.

There are many motivations people have for answering questions, most of which are relatively personal.  Here are some (I've written in the first person, but these are *not* my reasons per se, just ones that I think some of us will recognize either in ourselves or others (and some are hopefully just a bit funny.))&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. I like to help people.&#xD;&#xA; 2. I like to learn new skills by solving other people's problems.&#xD;&#xA; 3. I like to show off how much I know by answering questions.&#xD;&#xA; 4. I want to gain more reputation than [egreg](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4427/egreg)!&#xD;&#xA; 5. Badges, gimme more badges.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now the goal of the site is presumably to have good questions and answers, but its undeniably true that it's entirely possible to have a good answer to a lousy question, and that in the grand scheme of things, the answers are arguably more valuable than question. (I agree this can be debated, since questions are also very important.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The question then becomes how do the motivations relate to the site goals? Well they deal exclusively with answers (not surprisingly) and so whether or not the question is good or not is irrelevant.  Now in the case of [tag:just-do-it-for-me] questions, especially graphics related questions, although the site would like questioners to do some work, we all tend to benefit from the answers that some people seem very willing to give (presumably for one or more of the reasons listed above).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So what do we gain by trying to restrain people who want to answer such questions? Not much, as far as I can see.  On the other hand, if we close such questions very quickly, some users who are happy to provide these kinds of answers might actually get a bit unhappy since they are being denied an outlet for their skills.  If that were the case, it would be a net loss for the site overall.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h3&gt;Clarification&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;&#xA;I'm *not* suggesting that we shouldn't encourage people to show some work and try to guide them with comments about what how they might get started on showing some code. But I also don't think we should be too aggressive in closing such questions or discouraging others who want to answer them from answering." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

On TeX.SX, there are a lot of people who know a lot of stuff about typesetting AND technical issues, standards and so on. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think, then that topic of typography should be included on the help page.

Best practices in technological or scientific fields are often international rules or standards like ISO, DIN ... If I search for a canonical answer to an issue about units, dimensions, and so on, I would always search on TeX.SX first. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, what do you think?

I don't know of anyone else at the school using it. At my previous school I helped convert a math teacher to LaTeX. With respect to math, I suspect you'll find very few teachers using it: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. There's little need to use LaTeX. Most schools have resources such as software to generate tests and many teachers look to give multiple choice choice tests (to save time in grading).&#xD;&#xA;2. LaTeX has a huge learning curve and teachers don't have the time to learn as they go. If a teacher wants to create a test with a Name, followed by a line for the student name,on one side of the paper and Class, followed by a line for the student's class, on the other side they quickly run into issues of creating a line and then they find LaTeX ignores the spacing. Simple little things that aren't easy to find unless they've got the time and patience to wade through documentation (or had the knowledge to head to this site). That's why I suggested a functional guide to LaTex for [this question](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/56621/what-needs-to-be-introduced-in-a-short-introduction-to-latex/56645#56645).&#xD;&#xA;3. The profile of LaTeX users that I've seen amongst math teachers is they've already learned LaTeX so they don't have the learning curve to face; the multivariable calculus at my school and I have PhDs so we had years of practice with LaTeX. Had I not been around for help, I doubt that the teacher I converted to LaTeX would have made the plunge.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With no need to use LaTeX, limited free time to learn LaTeX, and a big learning curve it's unlikely a teacher will find LaTeX and devote the time to learning it.

This means that there is a quite strict format enforced here. Please post an answerable **question** using the [*Ask Question*](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ask) button (after [searching for existing similar questions](https://tex.stackexchange.com/search) first of course) or post a solution for an existing question as an **answer** post. Please **do not start discussions** or ask off-topic questions. You can also post **comments** to questions and answers to provide feedback. At first you can only comment on your own questions and their answers, but after you have gained a reputation of 50 you can comment everywhere. There is also [**chat**](http://chat.stackexchange.com/) for more casual posts. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Questions and answers can receive positive and negative **votes** to indicate their quality. Answers are sorted after the number of votes so that the better ones appear first. The votes that answers and questions receive also increase or decrease the **reputation** of the author of the post. With increasing reputation users will receive more and more [**privileges**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/privileges) to do more things on the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The most useful **answer that solved your problem** should be **accepted** by clicking the tick/checkmark symbol to the left of the answer. This shows other people that this is &quot;the correct answer&quot; in your opinion and assigns points to the answerer and also you. The question will then be handled as &quot;done&quot; which is important for the housekeeping of the site. However, new answers can still be added and the question asker can accept a different answer at any time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* It is highly recommended to add a compilable, but [**minimal working example (MWE)**](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-told-i-have-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that) that illustrates your problem. This way other users can compile it themselves, analyze error messages more closely and also easily implement and test their solutions before posting them. This allows also for full, compilable examples to be posted in the answers which are very helpful for the question asker and all other people with the same problem. Note that in (La)TeX, issues are often dependent on the  packages used, and other people won't be able to provide much help if they don't know which packages you are using. Another reason for constructing a MWE is that you will often discover the source of your problem yourself just by trying to construct the example.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Post should be **formatted** correctly using the simple **[Markdown](https://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help) format**. This ensures that the posts are easy to read. Here the most important formatting styles used on this site:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    * Format *(La)TeX code* as code blocks by indenting them with four spaces. The `{}` button (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;) will do this for you.&#xD;&#xA;    * Format *inline code* using backticks, e.g. write `` `\somecode` `` to produce `\somecode`. Instead of typing the backticks, you can also highlight `\somecode` and use the `{}` button (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;).  &#xD;&#xA;This format should also be used for single macro and environment names, package and class names as well as command line executables.&#xD;&#xA;    * Please do not use &quot;here&quot; and &quot;this&quot; links to other questions and answers  but insert the link directly. The site will format it automatically.&#xD;&#xA;    * Error messages should be formatted as code blocks, not as quotations because they usually contain (La)TeX code which is more readable in this format.&#xD;&#xA;    * Quotes from manuals, website etc. as well as example text results (not code) should be formatted using quotation blocks (i.e. place a `&gt;` before the lines)&#xD;&#xA;    * Images should only be uploaded using the &quot;Image&quot; icon (shortcut: &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;G&lt;/kbd&gt;) which uses a special, time-less http://imgur.com/ account. Including images using a different way, like uploading it manually to imgur.com or using a different provider, might lead to broken images after a while and is not recommended. Please ensure that the image is in a suitable size (not too big or too small) and resolution and only shows relevant things without large margins.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Please **avoid opening and closing lines** like &quot;Hi&quot; (already automatically removed) and &quot;Thanks&quot;. Salutations, greetings and expressions of gratitude are already implied and only distract from the real question. Also the first two lines of the post will be displayed below the question title in the overview page and such lines will reduce the amount of useful information being displayed there. The author name is already displayed on the right site below the post, so there is no need for an extra signature line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* This is a serious, international site for high quality content. Please **write in English** and avoid [leetspeak](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet) or similar things even if they are common in other places of the Internet. Non-native English speakers are very welcome and your English doesn't have to be perfect, but posts should show some basic effort. This will make your post readable to most people and greatly improves the chance of getting good answers. The fact that all posts are editable also means that other users may correct your English for you if necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Please **post rough ideas, suggestions and similar material as comments** and reserve answers for actual solutions. You can edit your posts anytime to e.g. add more details to your question or to adjust your answer. Do not use long comment threads for longer or even medium sized discussions. Use  [chat](http://chat.stackexchange.com/) instead. You can even open your own chat room if you want. Please note that everything here is open and all your chat messages will be archived and accessible to others (as long the room is not restricted by a moderator).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* You can **notify other users** by adding comments to their posts or by adding their names after an `@`, i.e. `@username` in your comment. Note this only works for the first user mentioned this way and only if that user wrote a previous comment for the same post. The post author is always notified. Notifications also work in  chat if the user posted a message there not too long ago. See https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/598/when-writing-a-comment-how-do-i-ensure-that-the-person-it-is-addressed-to-gets-n for more details.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* There are **[three](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users?tab=moderators) [democratically elected](https://tex.stackexchange.com/election) [moderators](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/05/a-theory-of-moderation/)** for this site. They can be notified about issues by **flagging posts** using the `flag` link below each post.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* While you can post questions and answers as unregistered user, please consider **registering your account**. Otherwise you might create a new, different unregistered account with the same name and icon. Then you will not be able to edit your old posts or add comments to them. You can ask a moderator to merge such accounts together.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Questions about the site itself should be asked on [Meta.TeX.SX](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/), not on the main site.

Look at this stage for basic typos/spelling mistakes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Perfect Tagging**: Tagging relevant tags for Q. (more (2–5) specific tags are better to narrow down the track down required question for future users instead of generic `pdftex` tag for all Q)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Is a **Minimal Working Example** [MWE](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228) needed?  See https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3386/15717 &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Code markup**/formatting ok to improve readability using [editing help](https://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Adding **images/codes from external links** in Q to make OP's question standalone as Question have backup/revision control and external links may fail over time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Is the question incomplete because of **key information only given in comments**? Editing these into the question text makes it easier to grasp what is needed, and helps the process of narrowing down requirements because comments don't have backup/revision control. ***Important Edit Note:** Write down the modifications for eg: &quot;codemarkup+title changed as per OP's comments+MWE/images added from Dropbox link+Spelling/Typo correction&quot;. This edit note sentences help high rep reviewers to accept/reject the suggested edits. **Attention :** Editing Q only when really necessary not editing for sake of editing, and the reason for major editing has to be mentioned to OP through comments/edit notes.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ensuring that these points are followed not only helps that question find answers, it also helps communicate the standards we want the site to follow to new users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### General guidelines&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Be Kind**: Reviewing/editing Q to improve OP's chances of getting a good answer and increase readability for readers and accumulating as good knowledge base and much more..&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Leave Welcome **comments with starter guide, MWE request,** tips to OP to learn code markup and other specific actions based on [Text Building blocks](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/430/15717)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- In case interested leaving duplicates/related questions based on [advanced search at tex.sx](https://tex.stackexchange.com/search?q=#)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- **Don't forget the Mantra Upvote Q immediately and often, Downvote with comments and Accept answer later (24hrs).**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Related terminology used in tex.sx/meta: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3388/15717 and Finally never despair everyone makes mistakes and remember learning from them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In case I forgot anything please add to this list and any duplicate/related questions in meta are also welcome."

Most of the Ninja search techniques that were considered &quot;advanced&quot; have been included as reference.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For me, effective searching spawns from using a combination of search criteria. For example, mixing search terms with tags and user specification has been very effective for me. The difficult part is remembering some of the key components your attempting to filter on in your search.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;###Example 1:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I recall [egreg](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4427/egreg) writing up what some commonly refer to as a short 'course' on the inner workings of `\ooalign` with symbol construction.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For this I use the search: [`user:4427 course code:&quot;\ooalign&quot;`](https://tex.stackexchange.com/search?q=user%3A4427+course+code%3A%22%5Cooalign%22) which yields&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The *only* 3 *relevant* results include [the post I'm after](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/22375/5764), as well as two others referencing the &quot;course on `\ooalign` by egreg&quot;. Adding `is:answer` wouldn't help *here*, but knowing that egreg doesn't have the [student badge](https://tex.stackexchange.com/help/badges/2/student) might help elsewhere - knowing your crowd and your content helps.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;High-voted questions gather the most attention, are the ones you most likely will remember and what you're probably after, so you can even [sort by votes](https://tex.stackexchange.com/search?tab=votes&amp;q=user%3a4427%20course%20code%3a%22%5cooalign%22) (or add a [lower bound on the score of, say, 20](https://tex.stackexchange.com/search?q=user%3A4427+course+code%3A%22%5Cooalign%22+score%3A20)).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;###Example 2:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; You're working on a document written using [`memoir`](http://ctan.org/pkg/memoir), but would like to use the power of [`titlesec`](http://ctan.org/pkg/titlesec) to format the sectional units. However, you're experiencing problems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Search for: [`[titlesec] [memoir] [incompatibility]`](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/titlesec+memoir+incompatibility)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This yields [a single result](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/33012/5764):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Compare this to *not* using tag searching and merely searching for the terms [`memoir titlesec incompatibility`](https://tex.stackexchange.com/search?q=titlesec+memoir+incompatibility)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A result of 9 posts may not be too bad to wade through, but still is more than the targeted result when using tags.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a side note, the mixing of search tactics heavily depend on appropriate housekeeping of posts. Our tag editors do a tremendous job of keeping things organized, which can help in making search an effective tool.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/8voLK.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9IGNR.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ox7aJ.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

What I'm imagining is a question with appropriate text to be easy to find, plus instructions for answers (similar to https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/339/latex-editors-ides).

Many of us have read https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/94889/how-can-i-explain-the-meaning-of-latex-to-my-grandma, https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/102878/how-to-convert-tex-illiterate-coworkers-to-latex, and https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1319/showcase-of-beautiful-typography-done-in-tex-friends.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, after reading the Microsoft article, it dawned on me that the `TeX` community should do the same.  Trying to explain `TeX` can be difficult and trying to get people to switch can be nearly impossible, but holding a competition would show the world what `TeX` has to offer.  In the amount of time it took the Microsoft competitors to typeset there document for the competition, those who are truly skilled in `TeX` could do a lot more.  There was `344,000` entrants I believe it said.  Just imagine if that was for `TeX`?  This could be a way for `TeX` to break more into the mainstream.  This article about Microsoft is just free advertisement and it has younger people striving to be great at an inferior product (in my opinion).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's a link to the competition itself: [certiport.com][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So far all the suggestions aren't what I am speaking about.  They are all geared to people in the `TeX` world through venues ran by `TeX` or by a `TeX` community.  This only draws attention to those already in the loop.  How would this accomplish increasing `TeX` use when it is to the people who already use it?  For instance, `certiport.com` is promoting a competition for skills in a product they don't make.  The competition is promoted to a wide audience base not just experts or enthusiasts in Microsoft products.  Additionally, the competition is held at venue (think of the TUG conference) not just hey make something, post it, and vote on it (all online).  There are high schoolers to professionals (barring they aren't Microsoft employees) who compete.  That is much more diverse audience.  The audience with `TeX` is mostly university/college level and the population at the universities/colleges who use some form of `TeX` isn't that huge (at least this is what I witness).    &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://www.certiport.com/portal/common/htmllibrary/mswwcompetition/rules.html" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As a reference, the Usenet forum [comp.text.tex](http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex) provide users with some form of usage statistic - in the form of posts-per-month&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt; - on its [about page](http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/about):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![Usenet comp.text.tex about page with usage statistics](https://i.stack.imgur.com/wdAHO.png)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Although some statistics are already available (like the [total number of questions asked](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions), or [counting the number of a specific badges awarded](https://tex.stackexchange.com/badges), [tag counts](https://tex.stackexchange.com/tags), the [number of unanswered questions](https://tex.stackexchange.com/unanswered) and even [weekly/monthly/quarterly reputation leagues](http://stackexchange.com/leagues/29/week/tex), to name just a handful) there is nothing available, on demand, to the extent posted during the beta phase as far as I know..&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Perhaps a first question would be whether users of TeX.SX would find such usage statistics interesting, or even helpful? If this question is answered in the affirmative, the second question would be whether it is possible to add such a feature to TeX.SX?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt; Since the site access is public/Usenet and therefore unmoderated, these totals may include *spam*."

Dustin's question isn't really about TeX-sx _per se_ but rather the 'wider' community, but is is more of a discussion than a 'simple' question. This raises the issue of where, if anywhere, such a question fits. Does it belong on the main site, does it belong on meta or is it 'off-topic' entirely? (True discussion is off-topic for StackExchange generally as it doesn't work in a non-threaded Q&amp;A format, although I guess a chat session could be used and written up as an Q&amp;A. A focussed chat could for example use a [separate room](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3591/15717), as is already done for [interviews](http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1728/textalk-interviews).)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that we've got other 'promotion' questions on meta, but these are more tightly linked to TeX-sx, either in promoting the site itself or how the site/site users can promote (La)TeX."

It's very easy to ask a question (good or bad), but it's not always easy to write a good answer. The SE reputation system subjectively supports this approach by awarding only +5 reputation for an upvote to a question, but +10 for an upvote to an answer. Moreover, question can be downvoted without loss of reputation to the voter. Perhaps the motivation here is that the answer(s) have more value than the question. Of course, this is not a universal acceptance, since we have some good questions on this site, but that should be a consideration.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Good](https://tex.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask) [questions](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/18584/168244) require a combination of things, including (but not limited to)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. a [good title](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/10647/168244); &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. a show-of-effort that possibly [reproduces the problem](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/5764); &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. suggested attempts at fixing it (if possible);&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. images showing the expected output (if possible); and&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. a consideration for the community and future visitors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are my motivations behind the above:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The title is important, as it draws the first attention from visitors. Don't use something like &quot;ToC problem&quot; or &quot;Help needed please&quot; or anything that doesn't provide a *succinct* description of the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; If you don't have a good title, it might not show up as expected in search, and users might not even click on the post when they see it in search results. It's like having a house without a proper address associated with; you won't get many visitors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. When answering a question I don't want to recreate the wheel from scratch. I don't want to copy a code-snippet and spend even 5 minutes trying to wrap it into something that is compilable. I really don't and it's not necessary. That is something that the OP should do, because for them it is super-easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Similar to walking into a big room full of clutter with a lonely light in the middle. Invariably, while I'm walking towards the light to understand what's going on, I'm *unnecessarily* tripping on other things inside the room. Providing the community with a well-lit room makes the problem so much easier to absorb. Copy-and-paste-and-compile and tadaa. Done. To me that shows that the OP took the time to present the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Surely not everyone enjoys fixing things, and would much rather just scream &quot;Fix it for me.&quot; That's okay and [it can become a nuisance](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/172758/168244) to request this with every post. However, if you show an attempt to fix it, it also highlights what your train-of-thought is, which could benefit from some explanation in an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;4. An image shows me a 1,000 words without typing it. Even if you create something in MS Word/LibreOffice (because of ease-of-use, say), then it's better than 5 paragraphs of textual positioning and fine-tuning. It makes the consumption of information just so much more fluent.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;5. Even though you may have a problem that needs fixing *right this very minute*, your post forms part of a community of knowledge. So, consider that when you ask a question, and incorporate all of the above suggestions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &lt;sub&gt;Previously questions that were so specific and/or didn't show much community traction in terms of usefulness, may have been  closed as &quot;Too localized&quot;.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Voting is very subjective and should therefore not be considered too personally. As a consequence, people's feeling towards reputation also vary considerably. Some don't care for it, while others obsess over it. For some, it may be&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ...[all] about the points...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;but for others it's not.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Voters could be more prone to voting for certain people rather than the type of post. Sometimes you want to vote without reading the post (question or answer), but because of a previous record from that specific user.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I occasionally use a very literal interpretation of the voting buttons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Upvote: This [post] shows research effort; is useful and clear&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Downvote: This [post] does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If any of these motivations are not met adequately, then I might abstain from voting and consider my contribution neutral (even if I answered). Perhaps I don't understand the field being investigated, so it doesn't benefit from either up- or downvoting." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Reuse of something you have already written earlier is fine as well.&#xD;&#xA; - Include whatever visual stimuli you can think of, e.g. figures, tables, margin notes, background pictures, drop caps / initials ... but in the end, it has to look *good*, not cluttered. &#xD;&#xA; - Make it typographically, aesthetically and perhaps even funwise maximally appealing. the vote is likely to be pretty subjective at any rate&#xD;&#xA; - TeX, XeTeX, LuaTeX etc. are allowed, too, but I'd like to limit the &quot;ingredients&quot; to things provided on CTAN or otherwise *easily* publicly and freely available, so that everybody can reproduce and compile the document.&#xD;&#xA; - The source *must* be included, optimally extensively annotated so that non-expert users can understand which package and which hack does what. This should be taken into consideration for the voting as well.&#xD;&#xA; - The source (i.e. the the LaTeX code, not necessarily the text itself) must be published under some license that allows for easy reuse -- suggestions welcome, I'm not an expert in this field.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please make suggestions to these conditions! We might want to allow for more pages if a title page, ToC, LoF, LoT, an index / glossary, bibliography etc. are included.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In order to avoid &quot;cheating&quot;, i.e. stealing other people's ideas, we have to find some way to get around this. As I think the contest will take place in a separate question on meta (or on the main site?), I suggest everybody posts their document + code, and deletes it immediately. When the deadline is over, the question gets locked and all the answers are undeleted, thus made visible again and the voting can start and users can vote for like a week.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My idea is to see some of the experts on here actually applying their enormous knowledge to a sort of &quot;everyday&quot; project. I'm expecting many useful packages, a number of nice hacks, perhaps some things you wouldn't necessarily include in a bone-dry scientific paper but that look nice after all. Hopefully, users will be able to draw some inspiration from these documents and improve their everyday LaTeX use a bit. In a way, this should be a very personal and subjective best of our [tag:best-practices] questions, but once again, I'd also like to encourage things that are a bit wild. We might even get new questions out of this project, e.g. &quot;How does x work?&quot; or &quot;Is it advisable to do y?&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h1&gt;Questions:&lt;/h1&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Alright, this idea seems to be decently popular. A few questions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. Will my idea about avoiding &quot;cheating&quot; work the way I described it? 20k+ users might see deleted posts, but I'm confident they wouldn't cheat.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 2. Should the contest be a question on meta or on the main site? I tend to put it on the main site, just to get more attention.

But then I realized I was saying something more than just a response, so I decided to make this one more idea to enter as an answer as part of this discussion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Much like in math, when a new field of inquiry opens up, the initial results are relatively quick and easy to solve; as the field develops the results become harder to find and solve, and require ever deeper levels of mastery (and/or cunning).  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Similarly, here on TeX-SX, many of the easy questions have been asked and answered.  That's not to say such easy questions are still not laying around waiting to be asked.  But, for the interested learner of LaTeX (and family), most questions they might come up with have likely already be posted and answered.  And thanks to some of the giants on this site, we have some very thorough and elucidating answers (or comments).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Certainly as new packages get developed and attract new users, those rudimentary questions will open up once more.  But meanwhile, the questions either become rather abstruse and rarefied, or they are the questions of those---most likely---completely at a loss of where to start.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I would like to see two developments on this site.  One is to develop a repository of well presented solutions to common typographical features: among which would be the creation of diagrams and charts using TikZ, pstricks, Metapost, etc. (more on this in the paragraphs below).  The second development is really outside of the scope of the posted question; nevertheless, I'll mention it: a collection of questions and answers on best practices (yes, I know this will result in a lot of opinions, but still I think those could be useful to learners).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here's one approach I've been thinking of regarding the development of such repositories inspired a bit by @cfr 's comment to my original post.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;cfr suggests that the user simplify the diagram or pair down the question.  I think this is a great idea.  But also, I think some of these posters might just turn around and say, &quot;I don't know how to start any of this.&quot;  My suggestion is not to make the OP simplify the diagram.  Instead, we, as the more seasoned users of this site and more seasoned users of the tools, could create new questions and post answers that breakdown the OP's original question into stages.  On the one hand, this creates a bit of work.  On the other, it allows us to structure things in a way that is better organized and searchable than a newbie might know how to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, take the following question [Draw a picture where some parts are tables](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/241917/22413).  It can be broken down into various parts.  The tables on the left hand side could be structured in TikZ as split rectangles.  The table in the center could import a tabular environment into the picture for which there is already a [good answer](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/9254/22413) though I'd like to see a way of doing it as a TikZ matrix or a *two-way* split rectangle(??).  The right hand side could just be viewed as drawing connectors between the node:  a rather rudimentary level sort of thing to do in TikZ or pstricks, but I don't think we have anything illustrating plainly how to do this except buried in other questions and therefore not readily searchable.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My suggestion is that a solution be posted for each of these aspects of the picture.  While we do have some questions about working with split nodes, we don't really have a question which is &quot;how do I draw a split node?&quot; So, we in-the-know could post such a question (perhaps as a community wiki).  Then we could answer our own question illustrating the technique (again perhaps as a community wiki).  But then this would also allow others to come in and showcase how to do the similar technique in pstricks of Metapost.  Then we could go back to the OP's question and in the comments (or in a solution) link to the new posting or show how to integrate the various ideas.    In fact, my own question about [Setting a length with a key to a TikZ node](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/241964/22413) came up in an initial foray into answering the question about drawing the diagram mentioned at the start of the previous paragraph (I haven't posted anything yet about this because I just haven't had that sort of procrastination time available).  In this manner we would gradually build up respositories of techniques.  (Right now I can recall seeing many cool things done with TikZ, but then the question is how do I find it 9 months later and when I finally have a project where the cool thing would be useful.  Afterall, the original question could have been about something rather tangential to whatever coolness might have been there.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I know this can be a lot of work.  It could get a bit haphazard too.  But I think it might offer a solution to how to make these &quot;draw this picture for me&quot; into something more general and useful to current and future users of the site."

For example, &quot;Section/Page n of the manual for the X package says you always need to load X after Y&quot; is an attribution that supports the answer, whereas &quot;If you'd read the manual, you'd know that X must be loaded after Y&quot; is an RTFM.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The StackExchange network generally encourages the use of attribution in answers. This is more important for sites such as english or scifi where answers can easily become opinionated, and answers without attributions may be downvoted because they're unsupported.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On this site, an answer such as &quot;you need to load X after Y&quot; can be easily verified by trying it out. We also have users on this site who are part of the LaTeX3 Project Team, or have been involved with the development of TeX for many years, or who are package/class authors. This naturally lends weight to their answers, but only for those readers who are aware of this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I often land on StackExchange sites through web searches. I don't have time to do the site tour or find out about the users on that particular site. I just want an answer to my problem. An attribution helps to validate the answer, but it also provides a next step for my search if the question is only similar rather than exactly the same as mine and the answer doesn't solve my problem or doesn't solve it completely.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So personally I don't view a supporting reference to documentation as a cry of RTFM any more than I view a link to a related question as a cry of &quot;why don't you use the flipping search box&quot;.

In the end, provided that happens other factors (such as stats) are not so important. At the same time, of course, we want to make it as easy as possible for people to find the information they want.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the StackExchange model for a site, the idea is that good questions should be kept open and answered whilst poorer ones are closed but can be edited and improved. There is a question of timing: whether it is better to leave poorer questions open pending edits (as we've tended to do) or to close and await edits before reopening (as on the main StackOverflow site). However, in either case the situation is you need the original poster to clarify the question in order to improve it, or you need someone to take a guess as to what they mean. The latter is obviously more risky in terms of helping the OP but may make the question more useful to more people! What is certainly true is that while we can ask the OP for more detail, there is nothing we can do if they ignore such a request other than possibly close the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What's notable here is that closing questions isn't supposed to be a 'negative' outcome (in terms of site stats). What it's supposed to do is mean that _open_ questions are _good_ question, whether or not they are answered, and it's these open questions that hopefully should be searchable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think it's worth noting here that the classic difficult-to-search question type is the 'How do I draw X?'. These very often don't have any text giving away the nature of the diagram required, and are often very focussed on the needs of the OP (lacking generality). However, we've tended to tolerate such questions, partly as answers are often possible and partly as there is an assumption that we first want to help the OP, and only then worry about the wider audience.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of what we can do to help users ask 'better' questions, we are somewhat limited. The mods can edit some parts of the [Tour](https://tex.stackexchange.com/tour) page but not all of it (we can edit the intro and what to ask/not to ask). The way the Tour page is set up it does not feel to me as if detailed 'How to ask a question' ideas belong there: I'm struggling to see where 'Consider adding a MWE' would fit in.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We can also edit the first part of the [' What topics can I ask about here? '](https://tex.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic). You'll see that in the latter there is already a line about providing a code example if possible. What it doesn't say is that one is _required_: there was a suggestion from the Powers that we might want a custom close reason saying more-or-less 'Off topic as there is no MWE' but that seemed far too prescriptive. I'm sure we all appreciate that there are some excellent questions with no code in them at all. Moreover, I'm pretty doubtful that most people sit and study these help pages before asking questions. My usual impression (certainly my own experience on other StackExchange sites) is that you (hopefully) do a quick search for what you want, and failing to find it post what you think makes sense and hope for the best!"

This is similar to writing &quot;Γρεεκ λεττερς&quot; with Greek letters but using English language (in Latin letters: &quot;Greek letters&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;Black Speech was the language created by Sauron for his servants in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Mordor. Over the centuries many of the Orcs developed their own&#xD;&#xA;&gt; dialects of Black Speech, these dialects were often referred to as&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Orkish. The Orcs were not a very literate group, so few examples of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; their writing exists today. Those few Orks that could write used the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Cirth alphabet. Tolkien included one example of written Black Speech&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in the book &quot;The Lord of the Rings&quot; - the Ring inscription. This&#xD;&#xA;&gt; inscription seems to be unique in that it uses the Tengwar alphabet.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Sauron apparently adapted the Tengwar script of Eregion for writing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for Black Speech. […] Writing Black Speech with Tengwar: The rules for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; writing Black Speech with Tengwar is similar to the Sindarin&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tengwar/Tehtar Mode. Although the Black Speech and the Sindarin&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tengwar/Tehtar modes look similar to each other, they may use&#xD;&#xA;&gt; different Tengwar letters to represent the same sounds. This is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; particularly noticeable with the phonetic values assigned to the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tehtar marks used for the o and u sound, which are reversed.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Daniel Steven Smith: TengwarQuenya_Help, 10/FEB/2003, [http://chomikuj.pl/anuleczek88/r*c3*b3*c5*bcne/fonty+-+elficki/TengwarQuenya_Help,354460461.pdf][9])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the rhyme of &quot;bind&quot; and &quot;find&quot; also in Black Speech as noted by Mark S.

You the questioner probably do not know the difference between the two!  So think about it from the point of view of the answerer.  To ensure that the answer she provides is sound, she will probably want to create a sample document, make the changes she recommends, and check that it works.  If she *thinks* she knows the answer but doesn't have the time to create a sample document, she may in the interest of quality control refrain from answering at this time.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So make it easy for potential answerers!  Give them a block of code that can be copied, pasted directly into a file, compiled, tweaked, corrected, and pasted back.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here *minimal* means that the problem is isolated and there is nothing in the sample that distracts from the error you have or the effect you desire.  *Working* doesn't mean the problem is solved `:-)`, it means the code sample can be copied-and-pasted and directly compiled.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The site [sscce.org][1] is dedicated to the topic.  There are also several articles on the topic as it applies specifically to LaTeX:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [“Creating a LaTeX Minimal Example”][2] from Dr. Nicola Talbot's LaTeX resources&#xD;&#xA;* [“How to make a ‘minimum example’”][3] from the UK TeX FAQ&#xD;&#xA;* [“What is a minimal working example?”][4] from the de.comp.text.tex newsgroup.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Errors##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I didn't see your question, but I'm guessing that you got some error you haven't seen before, and said something to the effect of &#xD;&#xA;&gt;I tried to compile, but I got the error `Undefined control sequence.'  How can I fix it?  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is next to impossible to answer, unless you expect only answers from psychics.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Instead, look at the line numbers, and post that paragraph or sentence, depending on the scope of the error.  You'll have to add any referenced packages or other components which are critical to the compilation of the section, but make it as focused as possible on the part which is the source of the error. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If there are no helpful line numbers, (make a backup and then) begin removing things you added after the last successful compile.  If you remove everything you just added, perform a binary search by removing halves of the document until you can narrow it down. Then, post the section which caused the problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Often, this process will help you to discover the problem and solution yourself!*  If this happens, please still post your minimal example, add your solution as an answer, and accept it later.  This way, future readers can benefit from your work (and you can get a [self-learner][5] badge if your solution was novel enough to get some upvotes!)&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;br&gt;&#xD;&#xA;A better approach to the &quot;I tried to compile...&quot; example above would be something like:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I am trying to typeset the following equation:&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \documentclass{article}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \begin{document}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     Alpha particles (named after and denoted by the first letter in the&#xD;&#xA;    Greek alphabet,\[\alpha\]) consist of two protons and two neutrons bound&#xD;&#xA;    together.&#xD;&#xA;    This means that an \[\alfa\] particle is a helium nucleus. &#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \end{document}  &#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   But when I compile it with LaTeX I get this error message:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     [22]&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     Undefined control sequence:&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     \alfa&#xD;&#xA;&gt;     `An \[\alfa\] particle is a helium nucleus.`&#xD;&#xA;&gt; What am I doing wrong?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Enhancements##&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other questions are not related to errors, but to a desired effect that the user wants to achieve, of the form:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I want to put (thing) at (place).  How do I do that?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The MWE in this case should: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* be a full document including `\documentclass`, a preamble, `\begin{document}`, and `\end{document}`. &#xD;&#xA;* include enough dummy text to make the document look like the one you're writing.  The [`lipsum`](http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum), [`kantlipsum`](http://ctan.org/pkg/kantlipsum) and [`blindtext`](http://ctan.org/pkg/blindtext) packages are helpful here in that they provide macros to make lots of text without actually having to type lots of text.&#xD;&#xA;* have your best-so-far implementation of the desired effect.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Try to keep your vocabulary accessible—do not assume that because many experts in your field use TeX that all TeX users are familiar with your field.  A question about typesetting affine Dynkin diagrams will not get answered until you find someone who knows TeX *and* math.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have enough reputation to include images, please do.  Images of both the desired effect (mocked up or copied from another document), and the result of your best-so-far implementation.

Is it because people come up with their own MWE, which might contain apparent differences - but rather irrelevant - with other posts? Is the ratio of moderators per newbies to low?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit: an example (the actual question that motivated this post) is [here](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/325194/77895). A quick search shows 284 questions. Yes, not all related, but the third one (second if we omit the actual post in question) has an accepted answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/HtrpW.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So I have a few suggestions here for you that might give somebody a good idea how to spend a useful hour building the community.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Clean up and improve community wiki questions, especially those tagged [tag:big-list].  *https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/341/how-to-manage-big-lists* has good suggestions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Ask a good question yourself, even if you know the answer. For example, from @Caramdir, https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2044/how-to-install-a-current-version-of-tikz&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Help with unanswered questions (old questions without upvoted answers).  You can even place a small bounty to rub people the right way into providing a good answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Suggest, approve, edit and extend tag wikis. Some popular tags will certainly appreciate more love.&#xD;&#xA; - Retag (carefully) old questions to better reflect our current tagging policy. (Take it easy though, as retagged questions are bumped to the top of the queue.)&#xD;&#xA; - Improve the formatting of new questions (code, images, links).&#xD;&#xA; - Nag [meta.SO][3] and staff with our favourite [feature-requests][4] and [bugs][5].  For example, if you can suggest a good [404/captcha image][1] (also [on meta][2]). &#xD;&#xA; - Promote the site to attract new users, and by extension, questions.   Some ideas:&#xD;&#xA;   - Run a poll asking &quot;Where did you learn about TeX &amp; Friends?&quot; This is to see whether the website has a sufficient exposure besides the broad SO/SE community. I would guess that basically everybody came from there, which neatly leads to...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;   - &quot;Do you have a friend or relative that frequents CTAN mailing list, or an IRC channel dedicated exclusively to LaTeX? Invite them today and win bonus 50 reputation!&quot; (okay, probably without the fake rep award). But you get the idea. There are communities that already serve a similar goal as TeX-SE (I used to ask non-obvious stuff on #latex on irc.freenode.net) Perhaps some of them will be interested to give it a try and see whether they like it.&#xD;&#xA;    - Inexperienced users are also likely to be interested in what we try to do here &amp;mdash; it's no big secret that hunting info on some obscure package/style file, or trying to find a package that &quot;does foo with bar&quot; can be daunting for TeX beginners.   &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    - Share a question on Twitter to spread the word.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have more ideas, please share them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5262/competition-time-design-an-error-page/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/656/404-captcha-error-images&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://meta.stackoverflow.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/feature-request&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/bug" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Although it's been tagged as [tag:formatting], the question isn't actually asking how to format the date.

So I want to thank everybody for this wonderful year: our moderators Stefan Kottwitz, Martin Scharrer and Joseph Wright (a special thank to Joseph for his support in learning LaTeX3 secrets) and all the people who always contribute interesting questions and answers: I believe to have learned very much from the expertise of Herbert, Ulrike Fischer, Frank Mittelbach, David Carlisle, lockstep, Audrey, Jake, Werner, Alan Munn and Bruno Le Floch (to mention a few, I apologize for not being able to make a complete list), but also from the questions: as a mathematician I know that without problems to solve the knowledge doesn't improve.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course a special thank goes to Paulo Cereda, without whom the chat and the site wouldn't be as they are.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14186/how-can-i-provide-a-verbatim-unescaped-commandline-for-executing-with-write18/14200#14200" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Let me explain why, exactly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After doing an exhaustive search (looking at all posts that match `&gt;\s*!` † anywhere in their entire history) I found that the following posts contain the spoiler syntax.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1.

The results were then checked by hand to find the true matches.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, it is *still* a problem which should be addressed.  I'll touch on why the solutions proposed here are unacceptable, and then go into what has actually been done to alleviate it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Simply turn spoilers off** - this would make Tex.SE's markdown syntax (negatively) distinct from every other SE's.  Assuming non-trivial cross pollination of users (that is, new users who are familiar with some other SE) this is potentially confusing.  Given how rare the &quot;accidental spoiler&quot; problem is, I call this a wash** at best.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Tweak the spoiler CSS** - most obviously, posts would still lose `!` when they tripped over the spoiler syntax which would just lead to more bug reports.  Less obviously, this would be an irreversible change; if spoilers were to become a desired feature (something that can't be discounted, [given][7] [its][8] [popularity][9] [as][10] a [feature-request]), we couldn't re-enable it because doing so would *retroactively* hide text in old posts.  Its worth noting that (in supporting browsers) a user can use User CSS to do this client-side.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;**The only markdown feature not on *everywhere* is LaTeX rendering (which is on for [CSTheory][11], [Math][12], and [Physics][13]).  This is because the [MathJax][14] library is so large (and cpu intesive) that it has a deleterious effect on page load.  It is also &quot;additive&quot; with regards to our baseline markdown, making it less dangerous in my opinion.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ok, now for what has actually been done to mitigate this (already, vanishingly rare) issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the time of the only truly affected post's creation, the preview pane wasn't rendering spoilers.  This could definitely hit TeX harder than other sites, and upon discovering that it (already being [status-planned]) was kicked up on the schedule.  You can go [take a look][15] at the renderer to see why this took a bit, but its out there now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; It should be more or less impossible&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to *accidentally* post a spoiler now,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; as the preview pane will show it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This would still leave the problem of generating a spoiler unintentionally (even though it probably wouldn't go so far as to actually be posted).  So, to mitigate that, the &quot;quote&quot; button on the post editor will no longer generate spoilers***.  This was already pretty tricky to do accidentally, as only very short messages would be placed on a single line in a quote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The quote button will no longer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; produce spoilers, regardless of the length&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of the selected text.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a less technical note, there was some confusion as to how the spoiler syntax actually worked.  *I blame me*.  I thought my [initial post][16] was clear, but then again of course **I** knew how it worked.  Props to [Charles Stewart][17] for drawing my attention to it with his [meta.SO post][18].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The [explanation][19] of the spoiler feature has been improved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;***This is true for all sane input (where sane ~= contains some whitespace).&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TL;DR version&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a vanishingly rare problem, the proposed solutions have downsides out of proportion with what they're trying to solve (especially in light of its rarity), and steps have been taken to mitigate the issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3422/why-is-the-mactex-distribution-so-large-is-there-anything-smaller-for-os-x&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4085/how-can-i-change-the-legends-location-in-a-pgfplot/4134#4134&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4268&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4723&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/posts/7340/revisions&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1191/add-markdown-support-for-hidden-until-you-click-text-aka-spoilers/71396#71396&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1191/add-markdown-support-for-hidden-until-you-click-text-aka-spoilers&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/736/provide-a-markdown-extension-to-hide-text-anti-spoiler&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://rpg.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/192/should-we-worry-about-spoilers/193#193&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://meta.math.stackexchange.com/questions/1349/re-spoiler-space&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://math.stackexchange.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: http://physics.stackexchange.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: http://www.mathjax.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://github.com/derobins/wmd&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1191/add-markdown-support-for-hidden-until-you-click-text-aka-spoilers/71396#71396&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/175&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/72877/whats-the-exact-syntax-for-spoiler-markup&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/72877/whats-the-exact-syntax-for-spoiler-markup/72878#72878" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

But I'd like to see it going further, with positive second derivative as well as first.  What would you like to see the community doing that it isn't currently doing?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; (Note that I'm not necessarily asking for what you _yourself_ would do (though you can answer that), but what you would look to encourage the community to do.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Joseph Wright][1]** One area that I think would help the moderators is more voting to close, _etc_., by high-reputation users. The model for SO is that most things happen on a community basis, so as we get more high reputation users then there should actually be _less_ for the moderators to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I guess one thing I'd want to avoid is 'mission creep'. The SO model works well for what it does: answering specific questions. However, there are other places to hold general discussion or to run a 'curated' FAQ. The {TeX} site is good, but it's not a panacea and I would not like to see this as the _only_ place for TeX-related support.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Caramdir**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/83/caramdir): The most important part is simply having good answers and easy to find knowledge. Then Google (and so on) will keep new users flowing in. Moderators are playing an important role here (though the majority of the editing/organizing work is of course done by the community as a whole). Improving questions is helping a lot for getting the search engines to find them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Apart from that, I liked some of the ideas discussed in https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/780/how-about-a-featured-tex-post. Featured answers could potentially increase answer quality (simply by pointing out what a good answer looks like) and some typesetting competitions can increase the amount of community involvement (and get some more people to read meta more frequently).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Matthew** I like the idea of featuring some longer contributions.  Although we're good at answering many questions, we are answering some of them several times (&quot;What is `@` for?&quot;) still and perhaps featuring some of our most popular answers will get those frequently asked questions a bit less frequently asked.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think there should be some more &quot;fun&quot; questions as well, perhaps on meta.  I understand on StackOverflow Fridays are a day to ask more free-form questions and it would be enjoyable to shoot from the hip once in a while.  As long as it's vaguely TeX-related.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have also considered a bit more active recruitment.  Currently our questions are very findable so googlers are reaching us.  But we could also make an effort to invite package developers and mailing lists users to join the site.  I had even proposed a flier or trinket to distribute at meetings where a lot of TeX users attend (e.g., the Joint AMS/MAA Meetings).  Where we would get the funds for that kind of thing is a another question, but it's an idea.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**lockstep** At the moment, the vast majority of questions is about specific, sometimes pressing issues (like &quot;Why is symbol xy not showing up?&quot;). I'd like to see the community ask more questions about broader issues (best practices, pros and cons of different approaches to solve a problem). An excellent example is Seamus' question about [Theorem packages][2]. It probably makes our site more prominent at Google, but above that, it's a great resource for &quot;power users&quot; and developers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Martin Tapankov:** Collaboration. Although CW posts are used sometimes when answering questions (I do when summarizing answers from my questions), it is rare that somebody comes along and decides to edit and append the post instead of adding their own. I understand that people do this out of respect towards others' work (and sometimes to get some rep themselves), but when I mark a post CW, I'd very much like somebody to come along to improve it, if they deem necessary. I think we can do more to promote collaboration on (some aspects of) the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer):&#xD;&#xA;Like Andrew said, the site is already doing very well. In some points it might be (even) better organized. For example I [miss a site-map](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/79977/156875) here which tells you about all the links and pages which exist. Some of them can't even be reached through hyper-links on the site and others are difficult to find.  &#xD;&#xA;Other things were already mentioned, like *tag wikis* and close votes.  &#xD;&#xA;I could also imaging some form of *polls* or *surveys* on meta. On &lt;http://perlmonks.org&gt;, a perl user site similar to SX but written of course in Perl, these surveys are interesting and/or funny. This could be done on Meta quite tidy in one thread (aka question) with small surveys as &quot;answers&quot;. The real survey answers are then pre-defined comments anyone can up-vote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another idea for improvement popped into my mind several times while seeing some bad user code on this side is to create more community wiki pages which describe some common errors and best practices. Maybe an own small version of LaTeX tabu and some small How To's. These pages make then excellent link targets from other questions. Google favors this site and therefore these pages will be found quickly by people which looking for it. In my opinion the community wiki format gives an excellent platform for these kind of shared posts. As moderator I like to encourage the creation and maintenance of these pages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/73/joseph-wright&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5599/theorem-packages-which-to-use-which-conflict" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I have taken to reading the [SO blog](http://blog.stackexchange.com/) recently, as there are some useful announcements there: in many ways it acts as a 'filtered' version of meta.SO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**[Martin Tapankov**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/711/martin-tapankov) I don't check meta.SO often (the signal-to-noise ratio is too low to be of much use), but I'm following the StackOverflow blog for announcements of recent changes. I usually ask support questions in our meta, as well as metas of a few other SE sites.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**Martin Scharrer**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2975/martin-scharrer):&#xD;&#xA;I'm using meta.SO to check up on changes which affect me and to report issues, like the one about [missing *Sportsmanship* badge](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/961/2975) on the [candidate statistic page](http://se.awio.com/election.html), which got resolved very fast after adding a comment on the [related &quot;answer&quot; on meta.SO](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/75454/moderator-nomination-possibly-useful-statistics/75726#75726). As moderator I would like to keep close ties to our *&quot;landlords&quot;* from SO and keep informed about all pending changes to the site and its interface.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[**lockstep**](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/510/lockstep): At some point in my tex.stackexchange career, I faced the question &quot;What is this 'Suffrage' badge and why did I earn it?&quot; So yes, I occasionally check the &quot;Recent feature changes&quot; site, but no, I haven't been active on meta.SO.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Seamus** I'm not totally sold on the idea that involvement with meta.SO is a relevant metric. Of course, moderators should understand the site they are nominally in charge of, but does that really mean involving oneself with the meta.SO site? I check the SO blog once in a while, and if there were some issue that wasn't tex.sx specific I suppose I'd ask it in its rightful place, but other than that, I'll pass.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

These &quot;janitorial sessions&quot; are there to refocus from the perpetual incentive to answer the next, new (perhaps easy) question, while older (perhaps more difficult) questions tend to be left unanswered and turn stale.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another reason here is that some answers may *never* receive successful answers, while others are just too general to provide an effective answer. Even a recent discussion on meta.TeX.SE (see [Should I self answer my question?](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2667/5764)) discussed whether specific answers to a general question should be answered in &quot;combined form&quot; to provide a definitive &quot;answer to the original question&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While yours most likely did not fall in any of these categories, [comments](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/64238/underfull-hbox-and-underfull-vbox#comment136685_64238) suggest that there was not enough detail to adequately answer the question. As such, it was brought up during [the most recent &quot;Answer the unanswered&quot; sessions in chat](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/5641215#5641215), where [your question](http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/5641462#5641462) was mentioned as perhaps being [too localized/TL](https://tex.stackexchange.com/faq#close).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your comment rebuttals suggest there was no need to supply a so-called [minimal working example (MWE)](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/228/5764). However, this is a general misconception when it comes to answering questions on the Stack Exchange network. Not only are there a myriad of solutions to the warning &quot;Underfull `\hbox`&quot; (see [No line here to end](http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=noline) for one cause) and/or &quot;Underfull `\vbox`&quot;, you are after solving a *specific* instance of this warning. This could depend on the code that you use, the document class that you use, the structure of the code that precedes that actual warning, or perhaps something different altogether (like TeX's line-breaking routine).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a questioner you should *try* to put yourself in the shoes of the possible answerer in order to have the best shot at finding an optimal solution. That is why we usually push questioners to &quot;provide an MWE that reproduces the problem.&quot; This requires you (the questioner) to provide *as much information as possible* so that an *answerer* can reproduce the problem (independent of the questioner), isolate what causes it, address possible alternatives and provide a solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, if confidentiality is at play, 100% reproduction is very difficult. However, if the question is left in this general or even specific, open-ended setting, with no reproducibility, and it turns stale, it is most likely destined for closure as being &quot;too localized&quot; by definition:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As an example, the generality of your question may just as well have been solved by (to name a few when [searching for &quot;underfull vbox&quot;](https://tex.stackexchange.com/search?q=undefull+vbox)):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [What are underfull `\hbox`es and `\vbox`es and how can I get rid of them?](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/138/5764)&#xD;&#xA;- [Underfull `\vbox`](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/46815/5764)&#xD;&#xA;- [How to suppress “Underfull `\vbox` (badness 10000) … while `\output` is active”?](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/62296/5764)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But without knowing more detail, a solution provided at the above links might have helped, or not."

I am unsure if @Dave Smith notifies Dave Smith or if it notifies Dave instead. Does it matter? Quotation marks? Underscores?&#xD;&#xA; - How to find a list of questions I have favorited. I assumed clicking on the star will add the question to a list I can later revisit for future reference. I have not yet found that list.&#xD;&#xA; - How to make sure I get notified when a new comment or answer is submitted to a question I am interested in. Rate? Favorite? (Comment? - I hope not.)  &#xD;&#xA;This is not the same as the previous point, as I may wish to remind myself of answers when using TeX irrespective of whether there are any new answers.&#xD;&#xA; - How to subscribe to searches / tags / tag combinations. (I keep getting confused by context sensitivity and wonder if I am ending up subscribing to that tag edited by a specific user, if I subscribe to that tag from that user's page? Once I ended up in what looked like a filter setup but have no recollection of how I got there.)&#xD;&#xA; - Which sites are recommended to store images? (I noticed http://imgur.com in the help but assume others will work.)&#xD;&#xA; - Are images mirrored by TeX.SX or left on the linked site? How does that affect future / archival usefulness?&#xD;&#xA; - How to format a question / answer? (Keep it simple KISS principle, or &quot;when are headlines welcome&quot;?)&#xD;&#xA; - Exactly what makes a helpful comment and what makes an answer? I feel many users err on the side of politeness and choose to comment, which may or may not be a good thing.&#xD;&#xA; - I noticed some of my &quot;common courtesies&quot; edited away. I have seen that it is not customary to comment with &quot;thank you&quot; unless adding something &quot;useful&quot; and that extended back-and-forth commenting with a single user triggers a proposal to move the discussion to a chat. I believe this stems from the &quot;wiki&quot; philosophy of making this site a compendium of knowledge useful to future readers. I am still unsure of how, and what to write if I feel the impulse to.  Can a discussion of best practices be included in [the FAQ](https://tex.stackexchange.com/faq &quot;main site FAQ, not meta FAQ&quot;)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I saw &quot;[the FAQ](https://tex.stackexchange.com/faq &quot;TeX.SX main site FAQ, not meta&quot;)&quot; mentioned in some discussions. I have not found via search a mention where &quot;[the FAQ](https://tex.stackexchange.com/faq &quot;TeX.SX main site FAQ, not meta&quot;)&quot; was a link. Only with squinty eyes I have just now found the link next to the search field. I would vote for reinstating it as &quot;Perhaps you are interested in [our FAQ](https://tex.stackexchange.com/faq &quot;TeX.SX main site FAQ&quot;)&quot; or &quot;You can always find a link to [our FAQ](https://tex.stackexchange.com/faq &quot;TeX.SX main site FAQ&quot;) next to the search bar&quot; or similar in the new user greeting."

Today I got curious and went to other big sites on the network, and this site does feel anomalous: the top users on [Super User](https://superuser.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Server Fault](https://serverfault.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) would make 7th and 13th here, despite both sites being [rather older](http://stackexchange.com/sites) and with a higher turnover in terms of questions per day. On sites with a similar age and questions-per-day turnover as Tex.SE such as [Physics](http://physics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Electrical Engineering](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all), the top two rows of users have much less reputation than here.

Either way, TeX.SE must either have (a) much more rep (hence also votes) to go around as other comparable sites, or (b) a much more skewed rep distribution curve. [This query](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/206518/reputation-histogram-log-log-scale#graph) sort of vaguely supports the latter but then again you'd have to be quite careful with your comparisons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now, though, I want to ask this community what you think this says about this site.

What would you attribute it to?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's a strong emphasis in the responses on the total number of votes, and I don't think I quite buy it.

For the comparisons above, it currently looks like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;            TeX.SE   Super User   Server Fault   Physics        EE    Mathematics&#xD;&#xA;      ↑  1,440,460    1,964,282      1,261,362   575,663   466,268      3,511,289&#xD;&#xA;      ↓     17,360      254,889        168,570    91,254    78,871        380,931&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From this, there's a few points worth emphasizing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Compared to sites equivalent in age and current turnover, Physics and Electrical Engineering, TeX.SE does have way more upvotes around.&#xD;&#xA; - Similarly, the downvote count does seem rather low compared to everyone else.&#xD;&#xA; - However, SuperUser has a lot less rep on the top pages than TeX.SE... but it still has sizably more upvotes in the database.&#xD;&#xA; - The site with a comparable leaderboard, Mathematics, has more than twice the total rep.&#xD;&#xA; - While SU and SF do have more downvotes than TeX.SE, the negative effect of downvotes on rep is 1/5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of an upvote, and the count of (upvotes - 0.2 downvotes) for SU is still higher than the total upvotes of TeX.SE.&#xD;&#xA; - That means that explanations along the lines of &quot;we don't downvote&quot; that don't address that ratio have rather low explanatory power.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For me, that says that there also needs to be more concentration of rep on the top tiers, which ties in with (and provides evidence for) https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1867/should-high-rep-users-hang-back-a-little.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, just to be clear,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Yes, rep is just fake internet points and ultimately doesn't matter. However, metrics like these do carry a nontrivial amount of information about each community and they are a reflection of the informal culture in the group.&#xD;&#xA; - Along similar lines, most of the comments saying 'it doesn't matter' and the like seem to come mostly from people whose experience on the SE network is here or on StackOverflow, and who may not be in a position to see just how crazy-high that rep board looks like. Trust me - it's anomalously high, and very much so. Hence this question. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is actually a really nice start for a community wiki answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to address members with two-part names. I am unsure if @Dave Smith notifies Dave Smith or if it notifies Dave instead. Does it&#xD;&#xA;&gt; matter? Quotation marks? Underscores?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The @ notation only works in comments and chat. For users with two part names you can simply remove the space between them. So you can refer to me with @AlanMunn. Only users who have already commented on a question or answer can be notified this way. The person who asked the question or provided an answer is automatically notified as well of comments to that question or answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to switch between [TeX.SX](http://tex.stackexchange.com &quot;main site TeX.SX&quot;) and [meta.TeX.SX](http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com &quot;meta site meta.TeX.SX&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On top right of the page next to the search box, the link between the &quot;chat&quot; and &quot;about&quot; links actually switches between &quot;main&quot; (meaning TeX.SX) and &quot;meta&quot; (circled).  &#xD;&#xA;this is also where a permanent link to the [TeX.SX FAQ](https://tex.stackexchange.com/faq &quot;TeX.SX &quot;main site&quot; FAQ&quot;) can be found (arrow).  &#xD;&#xA;![screenshot of page menu][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to search for tags.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the search box next to the site menu, enclose tags in square brackets.  &#xD;&#xA;*Example search:* [`[color] [line-breaking] magaz`](https://tex.stackexchange.com/search?q=[color]+[line-breaking]+magaz &quot;click to see example search results&quot;)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to find a list of questions I have favorited. I assumed clicking on the star will add the question to a list I can later&#xD;&#xA;&gt; revisit for future reference. I have not yet found that list.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The fastest way to get to your favorites is from the pop-up box showing your recent activity, where your name is in the menu at the top of the page. It shows a table including how many favorites you selected recently. Clicking on the word &quot;favorites&quot; takes you to your user profile page, with the favorite tab activated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![favorites pop-up][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you click on your user profile, there is a link to your favourites page under the text box containing your self-description:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![favourites profile][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;   - How to make sure I get notified when a new comment or answer is submitted to a question I am interested in. Rate? Favorite? (Comment?&#xD;&#xA;&gt; I hope not.) This is not the same as the previous point, as I may wish&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to remind myself of answers when using TeX irrespective of whether&#xD;&#xA;&gt; there are any new answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Stackexchange sends notifications only for changes to questions that you have asked, answered, or commented. Please bear in mind that only comments that add useful information to a question or answer are encouraged, and unhelpful or chatty comments are liable to be removed.&#xD;&#xA;If you are interested in following a question, select it as a favorite by clicking the star icon next to it and visit it regularly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to subscribe to searches / tags / tag combinations. (I keep getting confused by context sensitivity and wonder if I am ending up&#xD;&#xA;&gt; subscribing to that tag edited by a specific user, if I subscribe to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; that tag from that user's page? Once I ended up in what looked like a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; filter setup but have no recollection of how I got there.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't have an answer to this. Hopefully others can fill in the details.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Which sites are recommended to store images? (I noticed http://imgur.com in the help but assume others will work.)&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Are images mirrored by TeX.SX or left on the linked site? How does that affect future / archival usefulness?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You should always use the image icon above input panel to upload an image. Images uploaded in that way will be linked permanently to the site by imgur.com.  Other image links should not be used.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - How to format a question / answer? (Keep it simple KISS principle, or &quot;when are headlines welcome&quot;?)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Compose a question containing relevant keywords so it may be found through the search engine. Ask a limited question and format your [minimal working example (MWE)](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/228/) as preformatted text by marking it and hitting the &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt; keys.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Short answers need not be formatted other than including code as preformatted text. If you answer a multipart question, quote the part you are referring to by prepending it with &quot;\&gt;&quot; characters. If your answer to a single short question contains multiple components, sparingly use headlines of the form \#\#\# Sample Headline \#\#\#.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - Exactly what makes a helpful comment and what makes an answer? I feel many users err on the side of politeness and choose to comment,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; which may or may not be a good thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Erring on the side of politeness is our specialty. :) I think that many of us leave comments rather than answers if the question isn't entirely clear. If the comment turns out to be on the right track, it can be easily turned into an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;  - I noticed some of my &quot;common courtesies&quot; edited away. I have seen that it is not customary to comment with &quot;thank you&quot; unless adding&#xD;&#xA;&gt; something &quot;useful&quot; and that extended back-and-forth commenting with a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; single user triggers a proposal to move the discussion to a chat. I&#xD;&#xA;&gt; believe this stems from the &quot;wiki&quot; philosophy of making this site a&#xD;&#xA;&gt; compendium of knowledge useful to future readers. I am still unsure of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; how, and what to write if I feel the impulse to.  Can a discussion of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; best practices be included in [the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; FAQ](https://tex.stackexchange.com/faq &quot;main site FAQ, not meta FAQ&quot;)?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think you've captured the spirit of the site exactly.  The switch to chat is automatically suggested by the site after some number of back and forth comments. Thanks comments can be appreciated, but usually accepting an answer and upvoting it is enough. I don't think we actively discourage thanks comments if the answer seemed especially helpful to you. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/BiaNc.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/PfupO.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Oo9oP.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I might add that one reason I'm inclined to do so is that the last time I had time to read a LaTeX guide cover to cover was about 10 years ago; now I try and pick things up as I need them, and when I hit errors Google and this site are my first two ports of call.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit: also, my reasoning was that [this kind of sentiment][2] applied: because this is a website rather than a paper manual, and it has a search function, adding extra material doesn't impose very high costs on anyone.

By &quot;trivial&quot;, I mean they don't require more insight than to &quot;look in the manual&quot;. These usually aren't good candidates for a Q/A site, because they can easily create a flood of almost-duplicate questions, none of these helping any future user.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A good solution in some cases is to create a generic question, making all those real duplicates of that generic question. However, it is not always possible, and even when it is, I understand this site doesn't wish to become a parallel manual for common packages.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before I mention the question I have in mind, disclaimer : &quot;it's in the manual&quot; isn't always an useful answer, because some manuals are more helpful than others, provide more examples, etc. But in that case, we should expect the asker to show that he has browsed the manual, and even if possible, to show the exact part he doesn't understand.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's the same idea as on forums, &quot;google is your friend&quot;: sometimes finding appropriate keywords for a google query is a problem by itself.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But once we took care of these problems, some &quot;really trivial&quot; questions remain : the example I have in mind is [this recent question][1]. As you can see, the needed work from the question's code snippet to a real answer is... very small.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I voted to close this question as &quot;too localized&quot;, but I was really unsure: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - in some sense it could be a duplicate of a more general question about tikz styles (however, I couldn't find any such duplicate, so that settles it)&#xD;&#xA; - in some sense it's not a real question... because it's hard to know what is asked, what the OP misses to transform his code to an actual answer &#xD;&#xA; - in some sense it's indeed too localized, because the *answer* won't probably help anybody (but the *question* could!)&#xD;&#xA; - and finally, don't forget that maybe the asker really wants to learn something, probably that &quot;trivial&quot; point he is missing in his code (maybe the fact that &quot;rectangle&quot; is the default shape?)... in which case the question should be kept open.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;More specifically, about the &quot;too localized&quot; flag, since it is the one which &quot;won&quot;, when I read its description:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I can't say how it applies to the question: it is neither specific to a localization or a time-frame, and the problem isn't particularly &quot;extraordinary narrow&quot;. However, once again, we can't really make the &quot;Duplicate&quot; or &quot;Not a real question&quot; descriptions fit there either, in my opinion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So my question is : should such questions be left open by default?

At that stage, the top eight names will be forwarded to the StackExchange community staff for notification to TUG.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the event of a tie in number of votes, the mod team will decide which of the tied members are put forward to StackExchange.

Remember that there are a total of eight places available to be selected.

Don't forget the Mantra Upvote `Q` immediately and often, Downvote with comments and Accept answer lately(24hrs).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally don't despair everyone makes mistakes and learn from them during the starting days.

When a discussion post is truly `TeX` related and useful to the community, I think it deserves to be on either meta or main site.  However, some of these discussion questions are okay for the main while others are migrated to meta even though none of the questions fit the mold for meta or the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only question we should have to answer is where do useful thought provoking, unanswerable, discussion type post belong?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;I think there is one problem with dedicated chat rooms.  Only the avid users will be checking in on those rooms.  With many of the great discussion post, we will have brand new users come propose great answers to these discussions with that being their first post.  I think that would lost if the site decides to dedicate chat for those type of posts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Obviously I believe site related discussions belong on meta no matter what the outcome of this thread. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From the recent posting on meta, I think we (as a community) need to determine where discussion questions belong ignoring the issue isn't the answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3773/what-exactly-do-we-believe-about-community-wiki-posts&#xD;&#xA; - https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3746/what-exactly-defines-too-broad-of-a-question&#xD;&#xA; - https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3756/can-cw-status-be-changed-by-a-voting-process&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These recent questions were all spawned because of the discussion in the comments about closing, moving, or making https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/128454/are-there-any-open-research-problems-in-the-world-of-tex a community wiki.  I casted the first close vote to move the thread to meta because my question https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3723/a-latex-competition-to-promote-latex-to-the-masses which wasn't about the site was moved to meta.  So my reason was it was a discussion question, no answer, but still `TeX` related so it was moved.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When will we seriously consider determining a location for these types of questions to avoid all this noise in the future?  If we make judgement calls per post, each person who doesn't like the decision can post these repeat type of questions since they will all be about a different post and thus not a duplicate because the previous post in question were in relation to a different thread.

A question about a problem depending on one of these packages must, at least, mention what package is necessary. Also knowing the document class is often needed, because some classes redefine some commands such as `\title`, `\maketitle` or `\chapter`: think to `memoir` that introduces a second optional argument for `\chapter` and the other sectional commands; instead, `scrbook` introduces a key-value syntax for the same set of commands.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Not to mention that some packages are pairwise incompatible, or should be loaded in a particular order with respect to others. Knowing the list of needed packages is therefore essential in most cases. Another case that comes to mind is that of a `tikzpicture` that uses features only available in additional libraries: these should be mentioned. Playing hide and seek is fun, but limits the chances to get an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Consider that adding a suitable document preamble around a code snippet that doesn't mention the necessary class/packages requires a non-trivial effort from people trying to help: in several cases it's really impossible to prepare an answer, if information is insufficient.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's not really different from C snippets that depend on unspecified libraries and I'm quite sure that such questions would be fast closed on StackOverflow.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This doesn't mean posting the entire document, but only a “compilable abridged version” that exhibits the issue, particularly when errors or unexpected output is concerned. It often happens that trying to make the MWE helps the questioner in pinpointing the problem." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I found it helpful as well when writing my thesis, because it provides hands-on practical advice (and because it is always among the first hits on a web search about LaTeX).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, in the comments it is implied that there are errors and/or bad advice in the Wikibook. It is pointed out that the commenters could easily edit the book, but the discussion ends there. A beginner reading this could be detracted from the Wikibook by these comments (I guess that's their purpose after all) even after these potential flaws were fixed (if there are any).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To underline this, the Wikibooks guidelines tell you to [be bold when editing books][4]. My understanding is that replacing Bad Advice™ with better advice in a book would be desirable, especially because the book are meant to be [instructional resources][5].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus I'd like to pick up the thread started in the comments of the above-mentioned answer. Since we (as a community) recommend the Wikibook (it is the topmost answer in the &quot;Resources for beginners&quot; question, after all), and the possibility to improve it exists, we should strive to improve the book wherever we see potential for improvement, for the benefit of LaTeX beginners.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I don't feel knowledgeable enough to discern bad LaTeX advice, but there are people here who can easily tell what's A Bad Idea™ from years of experience. And if those people among us pointed out flaws in the book, we could discuss and eventually fix them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I'm not sure how one would organize such a quest:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - A community wiki question on the meta site or on the main site, where people can point out flaws which they found, which can then be discussed in the comments and subsequently fixed?&#xD;&#xA; - Some sort of chat event, like the &quot;Answer the Unanswered&quot; events? (disclaimer: I've never taken part in one).&#xD;&#xA; - Determine that this is not our job and &quot;the Wikibook community&quot; should fix it?

There are no restrictions on standing other than having to be a member of the TeX StackExchange site: in particular, the existing 'representatives' are very welcome to put their names forward to continue. [Note: I've called the people we put forward 'representatives', but that's mainly because I can't think of a better term. Nominees should not feel the need to represent TeX-sx other than being members of the site and therefore interested in TeX in some way!]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The model for selection of representatives is as follows. We will have a two stage process, first 'nomination' then 'election'. The first phase runs for five days, until 1700 GMT on 2014-01-07.  Each person who wishes to be considered should post an answer, where they can (if they wish) say what makes them a good choice. They should then immediately delete their answer. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second phase will then begin. All of the answers will be undeleted, and everyone should take a look at these answers and vote for deserving candidates: remember there are eight places available! Again, there will be five days to vote, ending 1700 GMT on 2014-01-12. At that stage, the top eight names will be forwarded to the StackExchange community staff for notification to TUG.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the event of a tie in number of votes, the mod team will decide which of the tied members are put forward to StackExchange. The mod team may also include additional names _if_ at the end of the voting process there are fewer than eight nominees with positive scores.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the end of the voting period, the tallies were as follows:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [Harish Kumar](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/11232/harish-kumar), 25&#xD;&#xA; - [Sean Allred](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/17423/sean-allred), 20&#xD;&#xA; - [Ulrike Fischer](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2388/ulrike-fischer), 18&#xD;&#xA; - [cgnieder](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/5049/cgnieder), 18&#xD;&#xA; - [azetina](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/10898/azetina), 17&#xD;&#xA; - [Torbjørn T.](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/586/torbjorn-t), 17&#xD;&#xA; - [Henri Menke](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/10995/henri-menke), 17&#xD;&#xA; - [morbusg](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/1410/morbusg), 17&#xD;&#xA; - [Fran](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/11604/fran), 16&#xD;&#xA; - [Stefan Kottwitz](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213/stefan-kottwitz), 13&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our representatives for 2014 are therefore Harish Kumar, Sean Allred, Ulrike Fischer, cgnieder, azetina, Torbjørn T., Henri Menke, and morbusg.

Unfriendly environment in stackoverflow tempted me to post something on their meta and ask them why so serious and what is the purpose of this ***hostility***!? This behavior is completely against the soul of Q/A forum where users actually are coming for answers not for having their questions deleted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To answer your question, in my opinion it is not the quality of the questions at all, but the tolerance of moderators makes TeX.SE a nice forum to be active in. I don't think admins brutally delete the low quality question. In fact, if you compare the way that low quality questions go down in SO and TeX.SE you will realize that here, questions go to -1 and the there is window of opportunity for OP to modify or change the question while in SO, once you have the first -1 you will have the next ones in course of minutes (involving a little bit of personal feelings, I think next down-voters are a slightly victims of cognitive bias*).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To talk a bit about moderators, I will make you an example of one of my [answer](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/94842/22492)s.

A university professor or david or most of other highest ranked users here all very decent, patient and polite persons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I do admit that crazy traffic on SO needs a bit of brutality in moderation but I don't think they do what they do rationally and patiently. Check results of [this](http://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/revision/162105/206627/) query which is the list of top 10 closed questions. These questions are mostly marked as un-constructive!! &#xD;&#xA;To put it into perspective, our highest closed question has the vote of 62 while in SO it has 1479 votes and has been favorited 3691 times.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Stackoverflow:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TeX.SE:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To summarize, I think it's all about moderators and their patience and respect to the OP. If they down-vote they explain why and they wait for modification (instead of writing a sarcastic comment). And by the way, this is the way that moderation on a web2 website should be. I think SO is simply doing it wrong.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;*There is technical term for this phenomenon where the first voters affect the idea of the next ones no matter the quality of the idea (or in this case the question).

Any place we have voting — close, open, delete, undelete, offensive, migration, etc — that vote will reach the threshold and take effect immediately if a single moderator casts a vote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can lock posts. Locked posts cannot be voted on or changed in any way.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can [protect questions](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/06/new-protected-question-status/). Protected questions only allow answers by users with more than 10 reputation.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can see more data in the system, including vote statistics (but not ‘who voted for this post’) and user profile information.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can place users in [timed suspension](http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/04/a-day-in-the-penalty-box/), and delete users if necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - Moderators can perform large-scale maintenance actions such as merging questions and tags, tag synonym approvals, and so forth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; A lot of the moderation work is mundane: deleting obvious spam, closing blatantly off-topic questions, and culling some of the worst-rated posts on the site.

However when the answer opens one can click on the &quot;flag&quot; link below the question.

(It does no favours to the person cheating in the long term, and it is quite unfair if LaTeX beginners' efforts are being marked alongside the likes of egreg!) It also undermines instructors' ability to evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching and their ability to identify topics which they should revisit in light of students' difficulties.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ref: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/212411/how-to-get-default-color-of-beginblock-command.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;While I realise that it is obviously very difficult to know, in many cases, whether a question is of this kind or not, I think that it would be useful to have some guidance concerning the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - 'red flags': features of questions which should cause one to pause&#xD;&#xA;   and ask for clarification, or pause and examine the asker's history&#xD;&#xA;   on the site.   (The question above is the fourth question the user&#xD;&#xA;   asked about this assignment. It seems to me that we should probably&#xD;&#xA;   have smelt a rat slightly earlier given that all the questions&#xD;&#xA;   concerned an 'assignment'.)&#xD;&#xA; - responding to the user: a comment block? What I'm thinking of&#xD;&#xA;   here is something to say when it has become clear that the user&#xD;&#xA;   is using the site illegitimately.&#xD;&#xA; - communication: how best to flag up the problem to other people so&#xD;&#xA;   that the user cannot keep asking new questions until the&#xD;&#xA;   assignment is completed by an ad hoc team from TeX SE.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Although this is the most egregious case I've seen here, it is far from being the only one. While users bear the primary responsibility for misusing the site, we are also to blame if we do not make some efforts not to allow them to do so. Obviously nothing we could do (consistent with the existence of the site) could prevent such misuse. Moreover, some things we might do to minimise it would have unacceptable costs in terms of their effects on everybody else's use of the site. But I am not at all comfortable with the way things work at present. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I am particularly concerned given that we routinely answer questions which simply post an image or state a problem and include no evidence of any effort at all on the asker's part.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I should say that I very much doubt that my view will be a popular one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I should also make clear that my concern is with cases in which the use of TeX is part of what is being assessed. I am not at all concerned about people asking for help formatting their theses on the nocturnal habits of koala bears or the lives of cats in Norman keeps. (Unless, of course, they are also asking us to fill in the details of koalas' night time festivities.)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Thus provided the question is clear and reproducible it should be kept open, and (ideally) answered.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For issues which are _acknowledged_ bugs which have been fixed, it may be that the most straight-forward answer is 'update your TeX system' (for bugs in (La)TeX packages)/'update XXX' (for bugs in _e.g._ editors). This information _constitutes an answer_. Suggested text for updating the TeX system is&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This behaviour is due to a bug in `&lt;name-of-package&gt;` which is fixed&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in the `&lt;date/version&gt;` release. Where possible, you should [update your TeX&#xD;&#xA;&gt; distribution](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/55437) to install the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; current release. If this is not possible, for example if you want to&#xD;&#xA;&gt; change only this one package or where you do not have the privileges&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to update the entire distribution, you will need to [install the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; package locally](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/1137).  This option should be considered a last resort, since for more complex packages there may be package dependencies that will make local installation more complicated and error-prone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If a more detailed analysis of the bug (perhaps including a work-around and version(s) affected) is available this should also be part of the answer. If there are more details of the bug (and fix) in a public issue tracker then a link is appropriate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Where behaviour appears to be defective and is not explicitly covered in documentation, it *may* be a bug. Likely examples are loading a package with particular options leading to excess characters in output, leading to a complete failure to complete the TeX run, or where code given in the relevant documentation cannot be reproduced. (A counter-case would be the fact that `booktabs` does not work with vertical rules: this is a documented design decision not a bug.) For such 'open' cases, a statement that the behaviour 'appears to be a bug' *may* be appropriate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Where possible, any steps taken to report the issue should also be included, _e.g._ 'I have reported this issue by email'/'I have logged the bug as YYY in the issue tracker'. &#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Yes, it took up quite a bit of time (at still does sometimes), but it was (and still is) a _lot_ of fun for me. I learned a lot, and by participating here I learned the _hacking_ that I needed to start my project. I have received so much help here and for that I am so grateful.  I think you even answered a few of my questions.  Even though I probably did not use your plain TeX answers (more on that later), I am pretty sure I tested it and upvoted it. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;Do you feel that you are absorbed by this site and your normal activities are faded?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Absorbed? Yes? But then, the activities here are part of my _normal_ activities so I don't see a problem with that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Do you spend too much time in front of your computer monitor with TeX.SE open?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes. But, it isn't too difficult to step away for a while and come back when I need to look something up, need a break from my work, or need to procrastinate as I have to do stuff that I don't enjoy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;The solution using straightforward TeX tools are more elegant and more simple and compact (but this was rarely understood and upvoted because users don't know TeX, unfortunately).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On this point, I have admit I am guilty. Many of the plain TeX and `expl3` solutions are just beyond me (not to mention expansion issues). I don't understand fully how they work and prefer to _not_ to use them, even if they are more elegant and more efficient. The reason being is that if I don't understand it, it will be difficult for me to modify it, should I need to later at some point. Now, partly because of this, I am suffering form a very lengthy time to do a complete build. I really do wish I could better understand plain TeX and had the time to rewrite all my base code, but unfortunately that never really happens. I am slowly tweaking things and improving compile times when I can, but also do need to keep my project moving forward.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The answer explaining how TeX works is more valuable than the answer of the type &quot;use this package and don't think how this is done&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Totally agree. I spend quite a bit of time reading and rereading those answers, especially when I get stuck. But, at the end of the day, if a package does the job for me I'd prefer to use it as it is less work for me. If the package comes around much after I already have my solution working then I'll just leave my code as is until I run into a problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;One things that I would like to add is that to keep in mind that not everyone on this site is here for the same purpose. There are other uses for TeX/LaTeX other than just publishing a paper or writing a thesis.  I try very hard to make my questions generic, but sometimes it is difficult and they come across as bizarre. Two examples I can think of are https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/165258/how-to-ignore-everything-in-the-document-environment and https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/52142/remove-page-number-from-index-entries. All my questions have been actual problems that I needed to solve and really don't know how I would have been able to solve them without help from people like you. I am sure that there probably are many other people you have helped that you are not aware of.  If others disagree with you, I think that's ok as they are looking at it from a different point of view.  That shouldn't be taken as a negative thing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In closing, if you need a break, take a break. If you find that at some point you are not having fun here, spend less time here. If you feel like contributing then do so. If not, we'll just have one less person here who actually knows TeX and that is a loss for the community, but you should do what is right for you.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So, for example, someone gets an error and the posts the fragment of code that the log reports the error occurred at. But depending on the error, this fragment may be completely fine, but happens to be the first place at which the error state arises.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And new LaTeX users are particularly susceptible to this problem, since if they bother to read the log file at all, they would expect it to be helpful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/254478/2693 for a very concrete example of this problem along with a detailed explanation."

I haven't seen this happen on other communities of SE, but I do see it repeatedly here. I have noticed that this community of SE is less strict on the site's policy and guidelines than others. I'm not saying I'm against it, in fact, I've seen other communities where the closing squad jumps the gun, which is the other side of the spectrum and leads to even more frustration if (arguably) unjustified.

One kind is inherently subjective and opinion based and therefore off topic, while the other two I think are usually on topic. Unfortunately the [tag:typography] tag is a bit of a mess in terms of what kinds of questions it picks out.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Document layout questions&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;&#xA;Questions regarding document layout are generally opinion based: some (made-up) examples below:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Should I use the default document class  margins or should I change them?&#xD;&#xA; - Should floats be placed at the top or bottom of page?&#xD;&#xA; - It it better to use margin notes or footnotes?&#xD;&#xA; - Should fonts for headings be different from the body text?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In almost all cases these questions will be a matter of opinion and therefore off-topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Typographical practice questions&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;&#xA;More fine-grained questions about best practices in implementing certain things are a bit of a grey area. To a certain extent, best practices questions are also opinion based, but in many areas there is a good deal of wisdom and consensus from the user base here to the point that these questions really have fairly definitive answers.  In particular, questions relating to best practices in typesetting particular aspects of mathematics, for example.

What do I do?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not despair, post-interview questions and remarks are welcome! `:)` We usually wait a couple of days, then &quot;lock&quot; the interview. We want to give our members the opportunity to read the chatroom transcript and add their own remarks or even submit questions to the interviewee. The format is working marvellously well so far. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We have a team of reviewers that put every bit of the interview in the correct order, so we can easily adjust the comments. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# How is the next interviewee chosen?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When we think it's time to have another interview (usually twice a month), we ask our interview committee to suggest names.

CW for easy editing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Question&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I need to install a new TeX/LaTeX/ConTeXt package on my computer.  I'm running Ubuntu/Fedora/Slackware Linux.  What are the possible ways to do this?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Answer&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Method 1:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Find and install the package through your package manager.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*This is for if you are using the version of TeX that came with your distribution and you don't mind particularly which version of the package you install.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Linux distributions tend to include TeX as a collection of packages, but it isn't usually on as fine a level as one TeX package equals one Linux package.  You therefore need to find the right distribution package containing the TeX package that you want and install it.  Different package managers have different methods of searching, if all else fails there is often a website where you can search for a specific file:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* [Ubuntu package search](http://packages.ubuntu.com/).&#xD;&#xA;* *Please add other distros*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Method 2&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Install the latest TeX Live**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*This is for if the package is in TeX Live and you want to or are using 'vanilla' TeXLive.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you haven't yet installed TeX Live, follow the instructions at https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1092/how-to-install-vanilla-texlive-on-debian-or-ubuntu.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;How you install a package via TeX Live depends on whether you installed TeX Live as a single user or you installed it system-wide.  If the first, try:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    tlmgr install &lt;package&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the second, you will have a small problem in that `tlmgr` might not be in the path that `sudo` automatically searches.  So you need to locate it first and use `sudo` to call it with the full path.  If your shell has the `which` builtin, you can find `tlmgr` using the command `which tlmgr`.  Thus:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    which tlmgr&#xD;&#xA;    sudo /path/to/tlmgr install &lt;package&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If your shell allows you to use the output of a command as a sort of variable, you can use the following command to condense the above (where we exploit the fact that `which` returns a single instance of the command regardless of how many times it appears on the path):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    sudo $(which tlmgr) install &lt;package&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(You can test your shell with the less risky `echo $(which tlmgr)`: this should produce the same as `which tlmgr`.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Method 3&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Install manually**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In this situation, you have two options: to install system-wide (all users on your system) or to install just for you.  System-wide means that any user on your system will be able to use it, just for you means just that: it will only be installed for your account.  The difference between the two is the base location:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* System-wide: type `kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFLOCAL` in the Terminal to find the right directory&#xD;&#xA;* Just for you: type `kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME` in the Terminal to find the right directory&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What happens now depends a bit on the package.  If it is distributed in TDS then you are in luck.  Go to the directory reported by `kpsewhich`, and into the `tex` subdirectory (or create it if it does not exist).  Then extract the TDS file (remember to use `sudo` if globally, and check that your `umask` is set to `022`).  *Note check the TDS file first to ensure that it will extract into the right place: you may need to move up or down a directory to get it to match*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If it is not distributed in TDS, then there might be instructions - in which case follow them - but the general pattern is pretty similar.  If it is a LaTeX package, create a directory in `&lt;base dir&gt;/tex/latex/&lt;package name&gt;` for it and extract the files (`.sty` plus perhaps `.cls`, _etc._) there.  Documentation files go in `&lt;base dir&gt;/doc/latex/&lt;package name&gt;`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you installed it globally, you will now need to run `mktexlsr` (or equivalently `texhash`) via `sudo`.  If `mktexlsr` is not in the path that `sudo` searches, you will need to locate it.  You can do:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    which mktexlsr&#xD;&#xA;    sudo /path/to/mktexlsr&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or if your shell allows it:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    sudo $(which mktexlsr)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This isn't necessary for local installations.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Note on `sudo`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;When you add TeX Live to your path, it will _not_ normally be added to the path for the root user, so will not be visible using `sudo`. The methods above use `which` to find `tlmgr` , _etc._, from the 'normal user' path and pass the correct instruction to `sudo`. This works with the `bash` and `zsh` shells: if you use another shell you may need to provide the full path to `tlmgr` instead." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Feel free to edit: set as CW to make that easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Question&#xD;&#xA;========&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Title**: *Conversion/recovery of `.tex` source from PDF file*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Is there a method to convert a PDF file into a `.tex` file? Does it depend on whether the file was originally created using LaTeX or if additional files (such as `.aux`, `.log` or  `.bbl`) are available? If I am recovering from a computer problem, as opposed to converting a PDF I've been given by someone else, does this make a difference?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Answer&#xD;&#xA;======&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the most general terms, conversion of a PDF into a (La)TeX file that would have generated it is not possible in an automated way. There is no 'special' information added to a PDF by LaTeX which would allow this process. As such, converting a PDF from an unknown source is very much the same as converting a PDF you know was generated by LaTeX: not that easy!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Tools**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[TO DO: HELP PLEASE!]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Since the TeX source is text-based, the go-to conversion of choice might be [`pdftotext`](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pdftotext). `pdftotext` is an open source command-line utility for converting PDF files to plain text files. That is, extracting text data from PDF-encapsulated files. It is freely available and included by default with many Linux distributions, as well as being available on Windows (as part of the [Xpdf](http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/home.html) distribution). Such text extraction is complicated as PDF files are internally built on page drawing primitives, meaning the boundaries between words and paragraphs often must be inferred based on their position on the page. As such, the conversion-accuracy depends on the contents and layout.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- If you're only interested in retrieving graphics, [Inkscape](http://inkscape.org/) provides functionality to export to PStricks or TikZ.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [AbiWord](http://abisource.org/) has an [import from/export to LaTeX plugin](http://abisource.org/wiki/PluginMatrix). The command-line usage would be&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        abiword --to=tex filename.pdf&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; (This is [described in more detail by frabjous](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/8514/))&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Global Blind Spot blog lists a script for [rudimentary PDF to LaTeX conversion in Linux](http://globalblindspot.blogspot.be/2012/06/rudimentary-pdf-to-latex-conversion-in.html)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [InftyReader](http://www.inftyreader.org/) is a paid-for/non-free alternative. InftyReader is an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application that recognizes and translates scientific documents (including math symbols) into LaTeX, MathML and XHTML. InftyReader can recognize tables including math expressions in the cells so long as the ruled lines are not broken.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Secondary files**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is possible that when trying to 'recover' a file you know was generated by LaTeX that you have various secondary files available. The nature of many of these files is discussed in https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/7770/file-extensions-of-latex-related-files. Broadly, these are of limited help in converting a PDF into a `.tex` file. At best, they contain partial information about some aspect of the original source, but none will contain large pieces of the original file (unless the case is very unusual). Probably the most common secondary files are `.aux`, `.bbl`, `.blg` and `.log`:&#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;  - The `.log` and `.blg` files are logs: they tell us what happened in the LaTeX and BibTeX runs, respectively. That will be useful in working out which packages were used in the .tex file, but that alone does not get us very far (no custom settings or actual input).&#xD;&#xA;  - The `.bbl` file may help with the bibliography part of the document. If you did not use `biblatex` then the .bbl file is a formatted bibliography, but if you used `biblatex` then it's not. Moreover, it does not help with the citations that link to the bibliography, and most of the time the bibliography will be a relatively small part of the entire document.&#xD;&#xA;  - The `.aux` file tells us about information transferred between LaTeX runs, so for example labels used in the `.tex` file, but not where they might have been cross-referenced, _etc_.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As you'll see, the amount of information in the various additional files is at best quite limited, and in most real documents will form only a small part of what's needed to reconstruct the `.tex` source.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Disaster recovery**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Recovering data following computer issues is broadly 'off-topic' for TeX-sx, but some general pointers can be given. If you suspect you have deleted your `.tex` source and it is not in the 'Recycle Bin' or similar, you should proceed very cautiously. It is usually best to use a separate machine to look for advice, and not to create any new files (for example by downloading recovery tools) onto the disk which contained the lost file(s). It then _may_ be possible to recover your source without 'reconstruction'. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Notes**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is possible to attach `.tex` source to a PDF so that everything is available 'in one go'. However, this has to be done when the PDF is created, so does not help with conversion of an arbitrary PDF file.

The alteration was to capitalisation of 'MiKTeX', _etc._, which would normally be fine. However, the relevant parts were quotations, where I was pointed to what someone else had said (in comments). As such, I'd kept exactly the format they had originally used.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My question is therefore what the 'correct' approach is when quoting: do we stick with the original even if it's non-standard, or do we always standardise formatting (and presumably spelling)? Both approaches seem reasonable to me, so I'd like to see what the overall feeling is.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note: If I'd been quoting another question or answer, it would be OK to tidy up the source and so the quote too. However, non-mods can't edit comments, so the situation seems a little different." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Suggestions for improvement welcome!*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are some strategies for reducing your code, which will help you get better and faster answers, since it will be clearer what your problem is and the other users will see that you put some effort into producing a concise Minimal Working Example. Thanks for that!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most likely, not all of these things will apply to your question, so just pick what does apply. However, it is advised that you provide the community with something that will reproduce the problem in the easiest way possible. Typically this requires code that starts with `\documentclass` and ends with `\end{document}` (if using LaTeX). It will allow readers to copy-and-paste-and-compile your code and see exactly what problems you might be experiencing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What follows below are snippets of code; **bad** references imply that it should typically not be used, as it may not be part of the problem, while **good** references make suggestions that should be used instead. Note that these snippets should still form part of a larger, `\documentclass`...`\end{document}` structure as mentioned above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Document Class&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{MyUniversitysThesisClass}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Using a non-standard document class?

The groundbreaking work of J. Davis on isomorphisms was a &#xD;&#xA;    major advance. In future work, we plan to address questions of uniqueness as &#xD;&#xA;    well as degeneracy.

Who cares?  &#xD;&#xA;1. Is it even still there? Go check.  &#xD;&#xA;1. What are the chances that this question could ever be answered in a way that would benefit anyone else?  &#xD;&#xA;1. Now is it there?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In order not to be too abstract, let's examine the two questions mentioned.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answer to the first one (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/65043/entry-options-in-biblatex) has an answer that says&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; It's fixed in `biber` 1.1&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Since we are at `biber` 1.5 (and 1.1 was already out when the question was posed) I'm *very* inclined to say that it's too localized: just updating the TeX distribution will solve the issue.

Another one that doesn't get correctly recognized as a ligature and is enabled by default is &quot;Qu&quot;. And, apparently, these ligatures can't be turned off unless one loads the font with the `-liga` option (`Ligatures=NoCommon`), which disables also the `f` ligatures.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is no possible answer to this question other than &quot;it doesn't depend on XeTeX, disable those ligatures and complain with the font developer&quot;.

I agree with Alan Munn on this issue but with a slightly different motivation. I'm actually quite bothered by the word **swiftly**. I don't mind if the question stays open or closed, either way the issue is not resolved so no need to insist on practice because next year it would really be an ancient issue but as you can see it's reopened after a meta discussion. Same can happen in the chat room too. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So Joel Spolsky might have a different view maybe. But he is not in this community. I would not try to learn how to socialize from Mark Zuckerberg either just because he founded Facebook. That would actually be quite a disaster. Therefore invoking rules in the discussion would make the matters only worse because then everyone starts interpreting a rule that was not there in the first place. It's a community not a state. Everything is based on interaction. I wish the use of `subfigure` ends tomorrow but it doesn't. That's why every time a subfigure question comes we paste the same old comment &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/13625/subcaption-vs-subfig-best-package-for-referencing-a-subfigure&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now my main problem with the treatment of your question: I claim that TeX-SX community should reconsider this reviewing button habits just like we dumped the idea of downvotes. Thanks to that we didn't have any major conflicts due to *why is this downvoted?* stuff for quite a long time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We cannot look for fixed rules when interacting with people. Everybody should keep in mind that it's not our forum even if we were here from the beginning. So we don't deal with customers. They are maybe experts on something completely different but not so experienced in TeX. So rule based handling feels like Microsoft Online help system. Hours of nonsense without actually getting any answer and seeing the same old &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Was this page helpful?* &lt;kbd&gt;Yes&lt;/kbd&gt; &lt;kbd&gt;No&lt;/kbd&gt; &lt;kbd&gt;No dammit no!&lt;/kbd&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;Moreover, you bring any set of predefined rules and I'll find a question that doesn't fit in any cases. I'm not invoking Gödel-ish inconsistency. I'm talking about actual social setting. We don't own here. Everything is based on mutual agreement. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We **tend** to do things in certain way but they are not conclusive, only suggestive. In case of ambiguity, we reopen the question even if it is against the common practice because some user needs information. We hang out here for a better understanding and fun.  Not because of some set of rules and discipline. Hence we do lots of mistakes until someone comes along and warns that the question should not have been closed in the first place. Then we open it again. If another one comes and warns that it's then a duplicate of another we close it again after consulting the OP. &#xD;&#xA;&lt;hr&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The reason for the hostility of other SE sites, is precisely due to this behavior. Flagging, closing questions without interacting with OP. Then OP gets angry asks for reopening and composes pages long of comments and gets twice as much of belittling and accusing comments back etc. We don't do that. It doesn't cost us anything to have an unresolved question so leave it open. We handle things in the *Answer the Unanswered* sessions. So just move on to the next one. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Having said that, the new review system actually encourages making mistakes during closing because of those stupid yellow/red dots under our avatars :). So I'm asking our high-rep users to use it less often to close the questions. If there are two closing votes it practically means five in a couple of minutes because of our good-willed but slightly impatient reviewers. There are no machines which review questions though some of us are indistinguishable when they are editing/retagging/archiving :). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thus there will be mistakes/misjudgements etc. a lot. This doesn't mean that we need to make the rules stricter. Instead we need to watch for the pattern how these mistakes are being generated and as far as I can see it's the review system and too much respect for common practice instead of using them as guides. A disciplined community does not mean a thicker law book that handles unambiguously every case. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So consensus is good but that's it, just a consensus.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Here's a quick take on reputation associated with Suggested Edits (from the above post):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ###Can I earn reputation?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - When a suggested edit is approved, the user who suggested it gets +2 reputation. The regular daily reputation cap applies, and the total cap is 1,000. Like any other reputation, the +2 is deleted if the edited post is ever deleted.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - When a suggested edit is rejected, no penalty is given.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A quick aggregation of [your reputation](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/13907/papiro?tab=reputation) lists at least 484 edits still &quot;visible&quot; from non-deleted posts (out of around 579 post-related reputation earnings). While 484 visible, approved Suggested Edits drops you back to earning *only* 968 reputation, you may have reached the 1,000 rep-cap over all time (512 approved + 484 visible - 500 maximum ~ 500 posts = 1,000 reputation). Once you've reached this, there's no more bonuses from Suggested Edits.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is just my guess... `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;While this may seem anti-climatic, continue to help improve the site!&#xD;&#xA;&lt;/sub&gt;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

If your question is about Bibtex/Biber/Natbib/Biblatex/..., this file may contain valuable information useful to answer it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You should use the [`filecontents`](http://ctan.org/pkg/filecontents) environment in order to produce only one file which contains both your latex document and your bibliography file. This file should be copy-and-pasted inside a [code block](https://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help#code).

You should use `\jobname` instead of a specific .bib file name. In this way, the `filecontents` environment will take the name of the .tex file in order to generate the related .bib file. This practice avoids the accidental overwriting of a named .bib file (people often used to call their bibliographies &quot;bibliography&quot;; a dangerous practice).&#xD;&#xA; 2. This example of MWEB is for BibLaTeX. Adapt it for Natbib/Bibtex/...&#xD;&#xA; 3. The original `filecontents` environment could not be used&#xD;&#xA;before the `\documentclass` declaration. This environment is now allowed anywhere in the document’s preamble; it must be preceded by `\usepackage{filecontents}`, which explicitly removes the original limitation.&#xD;&#xA; 4. Unlike another common thought, you shouldn't use `filecontents*` (note the star) environment. `filecontents*` does not aim to overwrite the file but is designed to remove the mention &quot;[...]generated by the ‘filecontents’ environment[...]&quot; at the top of the file. The new implementation of `filecontents` (which you use when you call the `filecontents` package) automatically overwrites the file if it exists (so that point 1 is important).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Warning&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not paste your entire bibliography inside a `filecontents` environment! You should paste only the problematic references that will demonstrate the problem when the MWEB is processed.

The no-deleted-questions criteria is to prevent people from asking several questions at once and deleting any that aren't upvoted or answered to ask another day. (Though this is a losing strategy in the long run.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- What constitutes a &quot;positive question record&quot;?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt;     (total questions - negative questions - closed - deleted) / total questions &gt;= 0.5&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; It *triple counts* a question that is downvoted, closed, and deleted. If you ask one that hits that trifecta, you'll need to ask three better questions to dig yourself out. For example, if 12 questions of a user were closed and 12 deleted out of a total of 44 questions, their score would not meet the criteria:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt;     (44 - 0 - 12 - 12) / 44 = 0.4545...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; The takeaway is that people can't sweep past indiscretions under the rug by deleting them. And they can recover from a bad start as long as they don't ask more bad questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/wmsZX.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/iCBaX.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/kAJMl.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

SE policies and even internal consensuses seem to not be clearly communicated to users here on TeX.SE (two technically incorrect comments both received upvotes) (This btw is a larger problem with a couple of other communities as well, however this is one of the oddest cases I have found)&#xD;&#xA; 2. The fact that moderators haven't intercepted here to enforce the consensus on this and other answers by Barbara despite this seeming to happen on other answers written by her as well (invalid roll backs linking to the consensus, but looking at the accepted answer rather than the highest voted answer). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And just for the record, I am perfectly fine if you guys want to change StackExchange policy or mass vote now on the relevant meta question and redefine this specific consesus.

It depends on the queue. The queues have one consistent option, though — the &quot;skip&quot; option. This permanently skips the post (you won't see it in the same review queue again) and is useful if you're not sure what to do.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Each user has their own copy of the queue — if you review a post in a queue, it is not necessarily removed from that queue for other users. It gets removed for all users after a few more reviews by other users (the exact amount depends upon the queue and review action done).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Badge-hunters may be prone to falsely review posts in these queues without really considering their content. This despite there being mention of the &quot;skip&quot; button &quot;if you're not sure what to do&quot;.

First, some context; we have&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4541/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4045/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(and more)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This thing is bothering me for some time already, especially after the migration of many users who do more or less exclusively reviewing on the site but not much of actual content contribution. Not that I am dismissing or underestimating the effort that goes in but there is a fine line between having a lust-driven relationship with review buttons and actually reviewing the questions properly (which means once in a while clicking that $%$%^#&amp; **Skip** button if you don't have any idea about the subject). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fun fact; I have tried a few identification experiments such that I found a recently closed question and then voted for reopening (i've chosen closed-with-valid-reasoning ones to maximize the effect) and some users who actually voted for closing also voted for reopening. Now no need for calling names for this but, if you excuse my French, this is bullock-cart-pulling-bullshit (emphasis is mine). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Now, I don't know why you hang out here but I like being borderline useful while learning a lot. Also, as a recent-beginner of Python and Linux, I really feel the pain of some of the users that ask quick questions with haste because sometimes you really don't know what else to do and having copy/pasted every damn solution on SO or any other place, it quickly becomes a mess. Last thing you need is to put *n*-propeller-powered-jetillion nuances/rituals about what the site rules are or whatever the forum owners' girlfriend implemented somewhere. With a little bit of effort and gentle nudges, most new users give in without any sour feeling and make a MWE, it takes time and patience and we have a lot of it in here. Or had. Now all I see is dictating comments on how things operate here and *if you don't obey my warning, I'll call my mod brother and he'll whoop yo ass.* attitude. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Hang on; another thing needs to be out-of-the-way; There are these things called Stackexchange network rules, nobody knows who come up with them and why but in their own environement they make sense (I hope). And through some law-abiding-never-law-questioning citizens of that network we are introduced to these things. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For a recent one that claims that I'm not informed well about a site that I'm not even registered see https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4514/&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, if this means that powers that be actually dictate what we are doing here then, first, it goes against the notion of community-driven Q&amp;A site, second, I am out of this place, in the first instance (which has no impact of course but I'm out anyway). It bears no threat value just my opinion. The reason is that I didn't sign up for this, and truly I don't care what owner of SE network thinks about TeX-SX. All I know is that, there are users who really dedicate their time and patience to come up with the wittiest solutions that we all see and also there are these review-people who click on the buttons like crazy in the name of some obscure nonsense that is maybe applicable to a humongous site that is called Stackoverflow that bares no resemblance to this site, I mean, in any possible statistical aspect. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My argument goes like this; &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Our number of question intake is not changing dramatically, so we were OK with not closing every question in 2 hours --&gt; We will be OK without closing them in 2 hours&#xD;&#xA; - Our number of active users is amazing including those review-junkees, even spams don't last longer than a few 5-minutes --&gt; No need to fear about the unanswered/asked ratio, we are doing pretty good without closing them like crazy.&#xD;&#xA; - New users were getting confused already with stock comments --&gt; Now they are more pissed off in average (based on my observation so no facts here) But this question https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/200168/ believe it or not closed twice! Not once. We reopened it David wrote an answer and we closed it again. (The OP mentioned closing already but no we have to be faster, modern world doesn't wait, so in your face noobie, don't come back again)&#xD;&#xA; - The close voters don't read the comments or any discussion going on under the question or answers. To be honest they don't read at all as far as I understand. &#xD;&#xA; - This sucks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These close-voting-users however become the unofficial saint-of-the-noobs when they vote for suggested edits. Suddenly every edit ranging from very good ones to oh-it-was-my-screen-having-dust-not-an-actual-comma type of microscopic edits. All pass with flying colors.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Closing remark&#xD;&#xA;----&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you are so eager to contribute, answer dem questions properly. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the spirit of one of the pillars of TeX-SX : https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/12/, **Review Late and Rarely!**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, after all this tasteless rant, here is my actual problem; I'm tired of keeping track of wrongly closed questions or questions with threatening comments under them. I don't know any other way than actually pointing fingers to users which would cause even more bitter taste so question is how can we (assuming that I'm not the only one feeling this strange transition) reach out to these users without creating a primary school level snitching-to-mod game? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I really want to get the attention of those frequent-voting users because I think we can arrive to a better understanding (though it seems difficult if they are high on badges and euphoric on their name up on the The Most Awesome Reviewer list). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Afteredit on an important detail** The reason why I seem to have a tone that targets individuals is because I don't expect the powers-that-be to unimplement this review system anytime soon. So the only way to change this situation is through reviewer behavior. Had this system not in place, they wouldn't be able to vote this quickly and erroneously. Hence while it is true that I speak mostly about reviewers, the target is indirectly and essentially these buttons that amplify and encourage careless reviewing behavior.

For these, there is a certain amount of discussion which can be had and as pointed out by [percusee](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/5868) you can argue things are not entirely consistent. As we are talking about value judgements that is perhaps not surprising.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at the question here, there are arguments for both 'off-topic' and 'opinion-based'. I will take the two arguments separately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In terms of topic, the PLOS ONE article seeks to compare TeX (LaTeX) with a word processor (Word). Thus at least in part it's already about something we don't cover: word processors. However, the bigger issue here for me is that the issue [your question](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/219576/does-latex-really-perform-worse-than-word) is raises  is&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Based on this study can we conclude that Word works better than LaTeX?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That's not about TeX and it's not about Word: it's about measuring productivity, specifically from the study in an academic setting but presumably more generally. That's a technical area (I'm sure there are experts on this type of measurement) but it's not what _we_ cover as a site. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the 'opinion-based' side, this is about more than 'there might be more than one answer'. (While the StackExchange model is best for questions where a single answer can be 'more correct' than any others, there is certainly some room for more nuanced situations.) Asking for a critique of a paper comparing Word and LaTeX on a site about TeX is only going to go one way, but it's hardly going to be objective. (Something like the ['grandma' question](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/94889/how-can-i-explain-the-meaning-of-latex-to-my-grandma) is clearly a bit of fun, so people are likely to give them more leeway, whereas some of the promotion questions may be given more slack as they are not directly about criticising other approaches.) The entire thing seems much better suited to a threaded discussion format, which chat does better than a question but which is really better on a mailing list or on Usenet.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Over all, to me the two areas together suggest that this is not a good fit for the site: TeX-sx isn't the best place for _everything_ about TeX. The same might be said of some other questions, and I'd be wary of saying 'As X is open, Y _must_ be allowed too.'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Note: While my name is currently down as closing the question, this is because I was asked to 'tidy up' the close reason from 'off-topic' to 'opinion-based' as this seemed perhaps better.

I would argue that we don't.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the first paragraph, an unsubstantiated opinion is offered as to what prompted Leslie Lamport to develop LaTeX (viz, to &quot;provide a lift for newbies&quot;). In the second paragraph, the writer tells us that he/she &quot;simply hate[s] LaTeX&quot;. Maybe unsurprisingly, he/she offers no reason as to why anyone else ought to care about that person's opinion. In the third paragraph, we are exhorted, somewhat patronizingly, to read, re-read, and re-re-read the TeXbook -- the reason for doing so, presumably, being that by mastering Plain-TeX (more) fully, one needn't rely on the inferior and troublesome LaTeX. It doesn't appear to occur to the writer that there may be persons out there who have read the TeXbook several times and still choose LaTeX rather than Plain-TeX for their papers and other documents. Are such people just hopeless renegades?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I fail to see how such an &quot;answer&quot; either contributes meaningfully to addressing the concerns voiced by in the original query or tells us anything that's not just pure personal opinion that's of no apparent relevance to others.

I know a lot of us are annoyed by these questions. But I'm not so sure, as in the linked discussion, that these sorts of questions add nothing to the site. I believe they could add something if we had an appropriate tag, such as `[how-to-draw]`, or we came up with better titles that might help others doing a search for such things. A tag additionally could then be a place to first direct people to look to see *possibly similar* figures that they wish to duplicate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I feel that the learning curve for either TikZ or PSTricks is steep enough that people can generally be quite lost about how to do even the simplest things. I discovered PSTricks many years ago and got to be quite comfortable with it. I began using TikZ about the time I joined this site.  Though there are similarities, much is different. For example, I feel, TikZ requires a much deeper understanding of LaTeX's macro expansion process than PSTricks requires.&#xD;&#xA;And, for those people who are new to LaTeX and haven't used any of the graphical packages, I think they can feel quite overwhelmed and lost. Some of the answers/comments to TikZ questions are just rather off-putting, like comments that read &quot;it's in the manual&quot;. Yes, that may be true, but the manuals are very long or broken across many different documents; finding what you want to do can be extremely challenging.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've been thinking about this policy of ours for a while. And it seems that increasingly we're becoming less *friendly* toward people who may just be totally out to sea about how to even start something.&#xD;&#xA;Recently I was downvoted for [answering such a question](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/241587/22413)---and, I am **not** complaining about that; I understand the reason---but, that's prompted me to actually go ahead and post this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some of us actually enjoy trying to answer such *how to draw* questions: sometimes just because it challenges our own understanding of TikZ/PSTricks; other times just because it's fun to create the image. New people are always going to come to our site and post these sorts of annoying questions no matter how much we try to discourage it. I generally only answer such question for people with low rep. counts, which I take to be a sign that they may also be novice LaTeX (and family) users.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm actually much more bothered by the repeated downvotes for the OP. I feel it casts us in a negative light when so much of what we do it supportive. I don't think it necessary that we view the people posting these questions as *vampires* (unless it's the same individually repeatedly posting time and time again the same sort of &quot;do this for me&quot; sort of question).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Could we come up with a policy that would make it more forgiving for OPs who may not even know where to start with TikZ/PSTricks? Could we please find a way not to be offended by these questions? After all, no one is saying, &quot;Hey you there, *you* must answer my post!&quot;.

But things have changed since then. Our recent residents are getting really hostile more frequently. There is no other way of putting it. Especially in the chat room I'm witnessing a lot of *ah, look at this idiot* type of comments on questions and especially drawing attention to a flaming commentary to show off how right they are. And I am actually waiting for the 100th monkey&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; to pick up this nasty behavior and change the color of the spirit here which is happening for some time now. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Maybe we should remind ourselves that this is only TeX we are dealing with. An obscure typesetting system for mostly academic purposes, not a cure for cancer. It is fun and beautiful nothing else. So non-TeX people have all the rights not knowing it. And it looks ridiculous and funny when users occasionally come to this site to ask something and see this small print popping under questions with serious attitude telling to do *yada yada yada*. There is a difference between letting someone know about the style and registering them to your own club.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't find this pretentious *oh let's teach him how to fish* attitude comfortable. Because if you really want to teach (I don't know where this self-confidence comes from too) you try to be nice, you don't prove how correct you are. If there is a duplicate close it. If there is none let them be. We have more than enough means to deal with unanswered questions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Housekeeping does not equate to repelling boring questions.**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There will always be boring questions. But of course if you feel like TeX-SX is your daily dosage of SuDoKu and you don't like your fun being spoiled by users who are not supplying enough fun, then you get grumpy and belittle questions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Being an old user or hi-rep doesn't give anyone the right to be the discipline police. Especially some users are quite annoying to be the first one to engage with some new users, piss them off right off the bat and move to the next question where they can fix lacking manners of another user with a hearty Welcome to TeX-SX and then following with **here are the ways you fail: code blocks, thank yous, MWEs, usernames**. I have been tangentially involved in some of those code block compositions. Nobody back then thought that it would be a tool for the etiquette police.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the meantime, often times a potential answerer has to deal with a overzealous response of the OP leading to *read my question properly* type of response because someone pissed that user off before we can finish reading the question. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are recent three questions that are too broad (asks specifically a certain plot type) and unclear (really? with two downvotes) and the last one is also interesting because OP said something but failed to make the code work (!?).

I also found these questions on the topic:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3587/how-to-choose-between-two-equally-good-and-equally-helpful-answers/3588#3588&#xD;&#xA; - https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/3176/choosing-to-accept-between-an-answer-that-helped-me-the-most-and-a-more-popular&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So it seems that more people encounter situations where there is not a single answer that they deem worth accepting. I just had such a situation in https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/281426/define-macro-for-sequence-list-tuple-macros where I tried to solve that by accepting one answer and editing the question to explicitly mention another answer that was very useful to me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, I think in such a situation it would actually be more suitable to accept more than one answer. So here comes my feature request:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Would it be possible to accept more than one answer and distribute the 15 reputation points among the accepted answers at the discretion of the questioner?**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That would also give a natural limit for when an answer by several people should be made a community wiki (i.e., at the latest when more than 15 people are involved). Would more people be interested in such a feature? Would it be technically doable (maybe over time)?" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

With that come eight individual memberships that can be given out to members of the community. The time has come to select our representatives for 2016. (See https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5905/tug-membership-names-for-2015 for last year's selection.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd like to ask people to put themselves forward. There are _no restrictions_ on standing other than having to be a member of the TeX StackExchange site. The existing 'representatives' are very welcome to put their names forward to continue. [Note: I've called the people we put forward 'representatives', but that's mainly because I can't think of a better term. Nominees should not feel the need to represent TeX-sx other than being members of the site and therefore interested in TeX in some way!]  There is _no need_ to have any particular level of site reputation, TeX experience or wider 'reason' to put yourself forward other than an interest in TeX.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You may nominate others but the mod team will need confirmation from the nominee that they are happy before voting starts. The mod team will check this with any such nominees.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The model for selection of representatives is as follows. We will have a two stage process, first 'nomination' then 'election'. The first phase runs for five days, until 2100 GMT on 2016-02-01. Each person who wishes to be considered should post an answer, where they can (if they wish) say what makes them a good choice. They should then immediately delete their answer. Please don't vote on any answers during this phase: any votes cast will be ignored.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the second phase, all of the answers will be undeleted, and everyone should take a look at these answers and vote for deserving candidates: remember there are eight places available! Again, there will be five days to vote, ending 2100 GMT on 2016-02-06. At that stage, the top eight names will be forwarded to the StackExchange community staff for notification to TUG.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the event of a tie in number of votes, the mod team will decide which of the tied members are put forward to StackExchange. The mod team may also include additional names if at the end of the voting process there are fewer than eight nominees with positive scores.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Voting stage: Everyone is welcome to vote for as many or as few candidates as they wish. Remember that there are a total of eight places available to be selected. New nominations can be added during the voting phase.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the end of the voting period, the tallies were:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [cfr](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/39222/cfr), 30&#xD;&#xA;- [esdd](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/43317/esdd), 29&#xD;&#xA;- [michal.h21](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2891/michal-h21), 28&#xD;&#xA;- [Ignasi](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/1952/ignasi), 27&#xD;&#xA;- [Alenanno](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4778/alenanno), 26&#xD;&#xA;- [Przemysław Scherwentke](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/26134/przemys%C5%82aw-scherwentke), 24&#xD;&#xA;- [Zarko](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/18189/zarko), 24&#xD;&#xA;- [samcarter](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/36296/samcarter), 9&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are exactly eight names here, so all will be sent to the StackOverflow staff to be forwarded to TUG."

But there is nothing to explain! Why bother?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Based on what I can see, @ClaudioFiandrino is not affiliated with that post in any way. So, no.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Answer it with a MWE and some explanation. But the OP did not ask for it; they are satisfied with the comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This doesn't really matter. If you want to add an answer then so be it. The mentioned comment by @JLDiaz is very generic and doesn't really suggest &quot;ownership&quot; over some form of answer... Technically comments aren't answers; we extend a *courtesy* towards the author of a possible answer-in-comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Close as **too broad**. This is how we treat &quot;do it for me&quot;-questions. But again, OP is satisfied with the comment.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Yes, this is too broad, just by looking at the volume inside the answers to https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/63877/5764. Specifically there are small things that could be fine-tuned in terms of a Gantt chart, and without those specifics people will end up answering the question in its current and possibly be bombarded with additional fine-tuning requests...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Close as **primarily opinion-based**, since theoretically one can accomplish it in many ways. But using `pgfgantt` seems to be the &quot;consensus&quot;, not an opinion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would say no here, just because it's very broad. Perhaps there might be some overlap, but I don't think the question is posed in such a way that &quot;it solicits primarily opinion-based answers&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Close as **duplicate**, to &quot;https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/63877/5764&quot;. This is subtle. Can we mark questions as duplicate just because they have the same answer?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[Most certainly!](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/6458/5764) The [Guidelines for reviewing Close Votes](https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/180032/168244) mentions:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Remember we are asking whether an [*answer* is found at the duplicate-linked question](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/166514/183887) moreso than whether the questions are identical. You should look at the question linked and verify that it has an answer to the question being proposed for closure. If it doesn't, it should not be closed as a duplicate. (You can't vote to close questions as duplicates when the proposed target has no upvoted or accepted answer(s).)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I use this approach regularly, since people approach problems from different angles, thereby leading to different questions. However, they're essentially after the same thing, which provides the common answer. Moreover, if others don't share your sentiment they can opt to vote differently; the SE network setup allows for that. ;)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The original idea had a somewhat of a lukewarm support, but mostly because the idea was to stretch TeX-SE into something which doesn't really fit the Stack Exchange model. However, there's now a [Code Golf][2] site on the SE network (with somewhat disappointing stats currently), so the Powers That Be are not against the idea in general.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Recently the topic was raised by others in chat and in random comments here and there, so I thought I'd give it a second go and see how far it will go this time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'll try to lay out some sensible rules to keep it in line with the official policy, as well as checks and balances to prevent abuse. In no particular order:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Frequency.** Not too often so that the normal operation of the site is not disrupted. Once per month is probably frequent enough. Something of a predefined schedule would be a good idea.&#xD;&#xA; - **Previous discussion**. A discussion on meta before announcing the contest on the main site should help spotting some problems in the question-to-be-contest (such as level of interest, difficulty level, real-world applicability).&#xD;&#xA; - **Content**. Real-world problems should be preferred, to provide something more than pure entertainment value for the contestants and the by-standers. Besides, this lines up with the official SE stance on this. At any rate, non-obvious useful challenging problems that would require a few hours of work and some ammount of thinking should be preferred.&#xD;&#xA; - **Eligibility.** The contests should ensure as broad participation as possible, so the questions preferably shouldn't be focused on using a specific technology. Some less used typesetting systems, macro packages and languages would bring extra flavour and interesting solutions to the challenges.&#xD;&#xA; - **Judgement**. This is somewhat tricky, as the rep contributor is the only person that can give the award. At any rate, some more formal evaluation of the entries is desirable, to avoid bias towards e.g. uses of certain technologies (For example, I have basically no knowledge about ConTeXt, so I would not be in a position to say how good a given answer is, and I'd rather award the prize to a solution that uses a familiar technology). An appointed jury of three would work best here, but it will be a stretch of duties to ask the moderators to do the job. &#xD;&#xA; - **Zero tolerance for violating the rules**. The moderators and high-rep users should close as off-topic all attempts to announce a bounty on a question with the intent to spur a contest without jumping through all the hoops.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Any sort of feedback is welcome, especially the deeply criticizing kind. Additional considerations I haven't thought of are also appreciated.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/496/idea-for-tex-latex-friends-contests&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Let me explain why, exactly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;After doing an exhaustive search (looking at all posts that match `&gt;\s*!` † anywhere in their entire history) I found that the following posts contain the spoiler syntax.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1.

The results were then checked by hand to find the true matches.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, it is *still* a problem which should be addressed.  I'll touch on why the solutions proposed here are unacceptable, and then go into what has actually been done to alleviate it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Simply turn spoilers off** - this would make Tex.SE's markdown syntax (negatively) distinct from every other SE's.  Assuming non-trivial cross pollination of users (that is, new users who are familiar with some other SE) this is potentially confusing.  Given how rare the &quot;accidental spoiler&quot; problem is, I call this a wash** at best.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Tweak the spoiler CSS** - most obviously, posts would still lose `!` when they tripped over the spoiler syntax which would just lead to more bug reports.  Less obviously, this would be an irreversible change; if spoilers were to become a desired feature (something that can't be discounted, [given][7] [its][8] [popularity][9] [as][10] a [feature-request]), we couldn't re-enable it because doing so would *retroactively* hide text in old posts.  Its worth noting that (in supporting browsers) a user can use User CSS to do this client-side.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;**The only markdown feature not on *everywhere* is LaTeX rendering (which is on for [CSTheory][11], [Math][12], and [Physics][13]).  This is because the [MathJax][14] library is so large (and cpu intesive) that it has a deleterious effect on page load.  It is also &quot;additive&quot; with regards to our baseline markdown, making it less dangerous in my opinion.&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ok, now for what has actually been done to mitigate this (already, vanishingly rare) issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the time of the only truly affected post's creation, the preview pane wasn't rendering spoilers.  This could definitely hit TeX harder than other sites, and upon discovering that it (already being [status-planned]) was kicked up on the schedule.  You can go [take a look][15] at the renderer to see why this took a bit, but its out there now.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; It should be more or less impossible&#xD;&#xA;&gt; to *accidentally* post a spoiler now,&#xD;&#xA;&gt; as the preview pane will show it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This would still leave the problem of generating a spoiler unintentionally (even though it probably wouldn't go so far as to actually be posted).  So, to mitigate that, the &quot;quote&quot; button on the post editor will no longer generate spoilers***.  This was already pretty tricky to do accidentally, as only very short messages would be placed on a single line in a quote.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The quote button will no longer&#xD;&#xA;&gt; produce spoilers, regardless of the length&#xD;&#xA;&gt; of the selected text.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a less technical note, there was some confusion as to how the spoiler syntax actually worked.  *I blame me*.  I thought my [initial post][16] was clear, but then again of course **I** knew how it worked.  Props to [Charles Stewart][17] for drawing my attention to it with his [meta.SO post][18].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The [explanation][19] of the spoiler feature has been improved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;sub&gt;***This is true for all sane input (where sane ~= contains some whitespace).&lt;/sub&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;TL;DR version&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a vanishingly rare problem, the proposed solutions have downsides out of proportion with what they're trying to solve (especially in light of its rarity), and steps have been taken to mitigate the issue.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3422/why-is-the-mactex-distribution-so-large-is-there-anything-smaller-for-os-x&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4085/how-can-i-change-the-legends-location-in-a-pgfplot/4134#4134&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4268&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4723&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/posts/7340/revisions&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1191/add-markdown-support-for-hidden-until-you-click-text-aka-spoilers/71396#71396&#xD;&#xA;  [7]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1191/add-markdown-support-for-hidden-until-you-click-text-aka-spoilers&#xD;&#xA;  [8]: https://gaming.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/736/provide-a-markdown-extension-to-hide-text-anti-spoiler&#xD;&#xA;  [9]: https://rpg.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/192/should-we-worry-about-spoilers/193#193&#xD;&#xA;  [10]: http://meta.math.stackexchange.com/questions/1349/re-spoiler-space&#xD;&#xA;  [11]: https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [12]: https://math.stackexchange.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [13]: https://physics.stackexchange.com/&#xD;&#xA;  [14]: http://www.mathjax.org/&#xD;&#xA;  [15]: https://github.com/derobins/wmd&#xD;&#xA;  [16]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1191/add-markdown-support-for-hidden-until-you-click-text-aka-spoilers/71396#71396&#xD;&#xA;  [17]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/175&#xD;&#xA;  [18]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/72877/whats-the-exact-syntax-for-spoiler-markup&#xD;&#xA;  [19]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/72877/whats-the-exact-syntax-for-spoiler-markup/72878#72878" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Today I got curious and went to other big sites on the network, and this site does feel anomalous: the top users on [Super User](https://superuser.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Server Fault](https://serverfault.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) would make 7th and 13th here, despite both sites being [rather older](http://stackexchange.com/sites) and with a higher turnover in terms of questions per day. On sites with a similar age and questions-per-day turnover as Tex.SE such as [Physics](https://physics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) and [Electrical Engineering](https://electronics.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all), the top two rows of users have much less reputation than here. You have to go to [Mathematics](https://math.stackexchange.com/users?tab=Reputation&amp;filter=all) to find something comparable, among sites with a similar age, but they're churning through something like seven times as many questions as here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, it's quite possible that in terms of total amounts of reputation things are a bit more in line, but there I don't quite have the statistics chops to make a meaningful comparison. Either way, TeX.SE must either have (a) much more rep (hence also votes) to go around as other comparable sites, or (b) a much more skewed rep distribution curve. [This query](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/206518/reputation-histogram-log-log-scale#graph) sort of vaguely supports the latter but then again you'd have to be quite careful with your comparisons.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For now, though, I want to ask this community what you think this says about this site. Does this strike you as a reasonable observation? What would you attribute it to?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Edit:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There's a strong emphasis in the responses on the total number of votes, and I don't think I quite buy it. It is [very easy](http://data.stackexchange.com/superuser/query/492368/total-upvotes-and-downvotes) to query for the total upvotes and downvotes in a site, and the data isn't at all unambiguous. For the comparisons above, it currently looks like this:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;            TeX.SE   Super User   Server Fault   Physics        EE    Mathematics&#xD;&#xA;      ↑  1,440,460    1,964,282      1,261,362   575,663   466,268      3,511,289&#xD;&#xA;      ↓     17,360      254,889        168,570    91,254    78,871        380,931&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;From this, there's a few points worth emphasizing:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Compared to sites equivalent in age and current turnover, Physics and Electrical Engineering, TeX.SE does have way more upvotes around.&#xD;&#xA; - Similarly, the downvote count does seem rather low compared to everyone else.&#xD;&#xA; - However, SuperUser has a lot less rep on the top pages than TeX.SE... but it still has sizably more upvotes in the database.&#xD;&#xA; - The site with a comparable leaderboard, Mathematics, has more than twice the total rep.&#xD;&#xA; - While SU and SF do have more downvotes than TeX.SE, the negative effect of downvotes on rep is 1/5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of an upvote, and the count of (upvotes - 0.2 downvotes) for SU is still higher than the total upvotes of TeX.SE.&#xD;&#xA; - That means that explanations along the lines of &quot;we don't downvote&quot; that don't address that ratio have rather low explanatory power.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For me, that says that there also needs to be more concentration of rep on the top tiers, which ties in with (and provides evidence for) https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1867/should-high-rep-users-hang-back-a-little.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Also, just to be clear,&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Yes, rep is just fake internet points and ultimately doesn't matter. However, metrics like these do carry a nontrivial amount of information about each community and they are a reflection of the informal culture in the group.&#xD;&#xA; - Along similar lines, most of the comments saying 'it doesn't matter' and the like seem to come mostly from people whose experience on the SE network is here or on StackOverflow, and who may not be in a position to see just how crazy-high that rep board looks like. Trust me - it's anomalously high, and very much so. Hence this question. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

I was wondering if it would work here, and if people would like to have such an option. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I suggest the following: We have a weekly contest, like in photo.SE voted and commented (and ofcourse, saved for posterity) any TeX related entry is accepted with the following condition: Source code must be included, and right for reuse must be as liberal as the rest of the content for the site. I expect that most of the time we'll get TikZ...but that's fine. We should perhaps have some rules regarding size or aspect ratio that should be upheld. Every week, the winning entry from the previous week takes the stage with a brief explanation, a longer one could also be accessed (along with the source code ofcourse!)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The point is that most of the entries we have, have to do with stuff that doesn't work, and we hardly get to see stuff when it works and is nicely polished.

I'm [Jin][1], and I'll be working on the designs for the Stack Exchange sites as they graduate from the beta phase. Each site will have its own unique theme that will reflect its topic. However, all sites will share quite a bit of common elements so they feel like they're part of the Stack Exchange family.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I've started brainstorming about the design for the TeX/LaTex site. I thought about going with a minimalist design like I did with the &lt;a href=&quot;https://stats.stackexchange.com/&quot;&gt;statistics site&lt;/a&gt;, but as I research deeper on the subject of TeX/LaTex, I feel a different design may be more appropriate. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;According to [Wiki entry][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;When the first volume of Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming was published in 1969, it was typeset using hot metal type set by a Monotype Corporation typecaster with a hot metal typesetting machine from the 19th century which produced a &quot;good classic style&quot; appreciated by Knuth.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;The letters of the name are meant to represent the capital Greek letters tau, epsilon, and chi, as TeX is an abbreviation of τέχνη (ΤΕΧΝΗ – technē), Greek for both &quot;art&quot; and &quot;craft&quot;, which is also the root word of technical.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think that the overall design should give a &quot;Good Classic Style&quot; feel, while the content area is clean and easily readable. The more visually heavy sections would be in the header to offset the text heavy content section. Some visual elements I think that will  convey the feel: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Vintage paper texture&#xD;&#xA; - Letter-pressed effects&#xD;&#xA; - Serif typeface&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I believe this look works well because it pays homage to ancient typesetting techniques that paved the way, and make this site stands out from the rest of the TeX/LaTex sites design wise.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the logo, I'm thinking about using curly brackets around the logo type, for example:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;{TeX/LaTex}, and the favicon/Appple-touch icons would simply be a stylized &quot;{ }&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please let me know if you have any thoughts on the design direction I'm going with. I'm hoping to launch the final site very soon, so early grats!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;H2&gt;Update: Design &lt;/H2&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thank you for all the helpful suggestions. Here's the initial design. While it doesn't have all the site element and details, it should give you an idea of the over all look and feel.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*click on image to see full resolution version.*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/c5zLy.jpg&quot;&gt;![alt text][3]&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For the logo typeface, I used [Hoelfer Text][4]. Charles was right about my original choice of Trajan being too thin for the &quot;E.&quot; The serif for the main navigation links, section header text and question titles is [Palatino][5](Georgia for fallback in CSS). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The header background image is a montage of various shapes and equations produced by TeX. (Fourier Transform, Euler's Identity to name a few). I'm using them very very faintly. I want people to know they're there, but not get in the way. I also think the faint coloring works well against the paper texture. The serif typefaces and white space provide the beauty, and the subtle geometric shapes signify precision.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The overall color palette is a warm one. I feel it works well with classic look.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The rest of the page design is pretty straight forward. It has much familiarity from the Beta Sketchy theme, so existing users don't have to relearn the UI. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;del&gt;What's not shown is the Question page. It will have the same &quot;shell&quot; as the homepage. The Question/Answer/Comment body text will be a sans-serif font. I'm thinking about Helvetica Neue with Tahoma for fall back.&lt;/del&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;h2&gt;Update 2: Question Page Design&lt;/h2&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&lt;a href=&quot;https://i.stack.imgur.com/uV1YK.jpg&quot;&gt;![alt text][6]&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I decided to go with Lucida for the sans-serif typeface choice instead of Helvetica in the previous Homepage mockup, with Tohama for fallback. As @lockstep pointed out, Helvetica is a bit overused, plus I feel Lucida mixes better with Palatino. I made the lines in the badge icons fainter, as Charles suggested. The goal for the Question page is to be clean and readable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please let me know what you think. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/07/our-designer-in-residence-jin-yang/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/c5zLy.jpg&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.typography.com/fonts/font_overview.php?productLineID=100010&#xD;&#xA;  [5]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palatino&#xD;&#xA;  [6]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/uV1YK.jpg" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

It seems to capture the essence of TeX very well indeed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A few points:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* I think most people agree that the standard TeX fonts (Computer Modern …) aren’t the most elegant. On the other hand, the [Showcase of beautiful typography done in LaTeX][showcase] thread refers to some beautiful LaTeX documents that could be used for inspiration.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* About the title. There was [a pretty strong consensus **against** “TeX, LaTeX and Friends”][title] since that [puts a special emphasis on LaTeX while unduly de-emphasizing similar tool sets][title2] that play an equal role.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* I think the tag line (if any) should be placed prominently, in particular if the site name is going to be a bit oblique. For example, I really love the site design of [CrossValidated](https://stats.stackexchange.com/) – but there’s **no** indication that this is a site about statistics! I had to look at the URL to see that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* I really like Charles’ first suggestion of using the Zapfino font in the design, e.g. the logo (even though Charles himself has doubts). I believe using a Zapf font would be very fitting; not only is Hermann Zapf kind of the ultimate font designer, he also worked very closely with Knuth.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  The perceived danger that this would make the site look too antique, and not enough focused on precision could be mitigated by “resolving” the strokes into vector outlines or guide lines, like in this picture:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  ![FontForge logo][]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  Of course this is rather too specific and I’m not a designer. I just wanted to mention that I think a font like Zapfino *could* be made to work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All in all, I’m very excited to see the final layout!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[FontForge logo]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GWdRb.jpg&#xD;&#xA;[title]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/519&#xD;&#xA;[title2]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/524&#xD;&#xA;[showcase]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1319" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

This is similar to writing &quot;Γρεεκ λεττερς&quot; with Greek letters but using English language (in Latin letters: &quot;Greek letters&quot;).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &quot;Black Speech was the language created by Sauron for his servants in&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Mordor. Over the centuries many of the Orcs developed their own&#xD;&#xA;&gt; dialects of Black Speech, these dialects were often referred to as&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Orkish. The Orcs were not a very literate group, so few examples of&#xD;&#xA;&gt; their writing exists today. Those few Orks that could write used the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Cirth alphabet. Tolkien included one example of written Black Speech&#xD;&#xA;&gt; in the book &quot;The Lord of the Rings&quot; - the Ring inscription. This&#xD;&#xA;&gt; inscription seems to be unique in that it uses the Tengwar alphabet.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Sauron apparently adapted the Tengwar script of Eregion for writing&#xD;&#xA;&gt; for Black Speech. […] Writing Black Speech with Tengwar: The rules for&#xD;&#xA;&gt; writing Black Speech with Tengwar is similar to the Sindarin&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tengwar/Tehtar Mode. Although the Black Speech and the Sindarin&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tengwar/Tehtar modes look similar to each other, they may use&#xD;&#xA;&gt; different Tengwar letters to represent the same sounds. This is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; particularly noticeable with the phonetic values assigned to the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Tehtar marks used for the o and u sound, which are reversed.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(Daniel Steven Smith: TengwarQuenya_Help, 10/FEB/2003, [http://chomikuj.pl/anuleczek88/r*c3*b3*c5*bcne/fonty+-+elficki/TengwarQuenya_Help,354460461.pdf][9])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As for the rhyme of &quot;bind&quot; and &quot;find&quot; also in Black Speech as noted by Mark S.

Those of us who've been around the site for a while have learnt the value of MWEs, but we could probably be a little gentler on saying &quot;Please provide a MWE&quot;.  Perhaps, &quot;This question looks interesting, but to be able to help you I need to have some code that I can just cut-and-paste to see the problem.  Otherwise, it's hard to know even where to start.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;MindCorrosive's first point is a very important one: people who answer questions are doing so from their own time and own resources with no real thought of reward (other than to make this a great site from which they will, hopefully, benefit).  So when you ask a question, you are asking someone to do your work for you.  That's the point of the site, so that is not meant as a disincentive to asking a question, but is intended as guidance on why we ask for questions to be as detailed and complete as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Take, for example, [this question on MO](https://mathoverflow.net/questions/40291/operad-automorphism).  There's no context, no background, no motivation.  Why should I even try to understand the question, let alone provide an answer?  Contrast that with [this one](https://mathoverflow.net/questions/35868/fundamental-group-of-lie-groups).  It's not much longer, but explains the context and background and shows what led the person to ask the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So we **encourage** MWEs because it makes it easier to answer the question, and experience has taught us that questions with MWEs get better and quicker answers than those without.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To answer your point about SO, the inhabitants of SO are, by and large, people whose jobs involve programming.  If I'm typical of the users here, then this is not true here.  I think I know a bit about LaTeX and some of the things, but it's not **directly** part of my job so often the things I've found out are as a result of just tinkering.  So if you want me (and people like me) to help you, you need to phrase your question in such a way that I can look at it using that method: just tinkering.  An MWE is the simplest way to do it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Despite that, I wouldn't go so far as to _require_ a MWE, and perhaps the &quot;standard&quot; way of saying &quot;Please provide a MWE&quot; could be a little gentler."

Rep is nice, but I doubt it's why many of us are here -- in fact some are *still* active on comp.text.tex (I might be if I had decent usenet access) where rep isn't measured.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Best case: a fairly new user asks a question that turns out to have a simple answer (but of course not a duplicate), an answer appears in the comments, and the OP writes their own answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I throw down a quick comment (&quot;try `\command` from `package`&quot;) and I intend to write an answer immediately, I'll normally say so in the comment:  something like &quot;I think *xxx* should work, I'll have a play&quot;.  On the other hand I've also been known to comment things like &quot;*xxx* might do the trick. I'll write an answer if I get the chance later, but someone else might get there first&quot; as a hint that I'm not bothered if I'm beaten to it (and will quite likely forget to come back in any reasonable time). &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I tend only to answer when someone else has commented if (i) there's still a bit of work to do (this could be a very snmall but IME important step), (ii) some time has elapsed, and (iii) I'm interested in learning something from the attempt. As I'm not the quickest at writing an answer, especially if it's going to take a bit of debugging, I'm unlikely to get there before anyone else who starts ahead of me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think one factor behind the thorough answers I mentioned is that we're populated by people who not only are helpful, but come from a background involving academic or technical writing and *think about their writing*, leading to a reluctance to commit to the permanence of an answer if it's not done properly."

It is intended to be concise and hands-on, but digestible rather than exhaustive. Suggestions for improvement welcome!*&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Here are some strategies for reducing your code, which will help you get better and faster answers, since it will be clearer what your problem is and the other users will see that you put some effort into producing a concise Minimal Working Example. Thanks for that!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Most likely, not all of these things will apply to your question, so just pick what does apply. However, it is advised that you provide the community with something that will reproduce the problem in the easiest way possible. Typically this requires code that starts with `\documentclass` and ends with `\end{document}` (if using LaTeX). It will allow readers to copy-and-paste-and-compile your code and see exactly what problems you might be experiencing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What follows below are snippets of code; **bad** references imply that it should typically not be used, as it may not be part of the problem, while **good** references make suggestions that should be used instead. Note that these snippets should still form part of a larger, `\documentclass`...`\end{document}` structure as mentioned above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Document Class&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{MyUniversitysThesisClass}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Using a non-standard document class?

Great habit, but usually not necessary in a MWE – **get rid of them**.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Loading Packages&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{a4wide}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{amsmath, amsthm, amssymb}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{url}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[algoruled,vlined]{algorithm2e}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[ngerman, american]{babel}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{booktabs}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{units}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{makeidx}&#xD;&#xA;      \makeindex  &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{color}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{colortbl}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{epstopdf}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{rotating}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    % Assuming your problem is related e.g. to the rotation of a figure, you might need:&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{rotating}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You’ve developed an awesome template with lots of helpful packages? Does your problem still show up if you remove some or even most of them? Then **get rid** of those that **aren’t necessary for reproducing the problem**. (If you should later find out that another package is complicating the situation, you can always ask another question or edit the existing question.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In most cases, even packages like `inputenc` or `fontenc` are not necessary in MWEs, even though they are essential for many non-English documents in “real” documents.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Images&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{graphs/dataset17b.pdf}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[demo]{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    ....&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{graphs/dataset17b.pdf}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    ....&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{example-image}% Image from the mwe package&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your problem includes **an image**? Does your problem show up with any image? Then use the **option `demo`** for the package `graphicx` – this way, other users who don’t have your image file won’t get an error message because of that. If you prefer an actual image that you can rotate, stretch, etc., use the **[`mwe`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/mwe) package**, which provides a number of dummy images, named e.g. `example-image`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If your problem is specific to the size of the included image, still use `mwe`'s `example-image`, but also specify the `width` and `height` so it more readily replicates your `custom-image` dimensions. Again, this way the problem is reproducible without using your image.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Text&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    In \cite{cite:0}, it is shown that $\Delta \subset {U_{\mathcal{{D}}}}$. Hence &#xD;&#xA;    Y. Q. Qian's characterization of conditionally uncountable elements was a &#xD;&#xA;    milestone in constructive algebra. Now it has long been known that there exists &#xD;&#xA;    an almost everywhere Clifford right-canonically pseudo-integrable, Clairaut &#xD;&#xA;    subset \cite{cite:0}. The groundbreaking work of J. Davis on isomorphisms was a &#xD;&#xA;    major advance. In future work, we plan to address questions of uniqueness as &#xD;&#xA;    well as degeneracy. Thus in \cite{cite:0}, the main result was the &#xD;&#xA;    classification of meromorphic, completely left-invariant systems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{lipsum} % just for dummy text&#xD;&#xA;    ...&#xD;&#xA;    \lipsum[1-3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Foo bar baz.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need a **few paragraphs of text** to demonstrate your problem? Use a package that produces **dummy text**. Popular choices are [`lipsum`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/lipsum) (plain paragraphs) and [`blindtext`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/blindtext) (can produce entire documents with section titles, lists, and formulae).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need just a **tiny amount of text**? Then keep it maximally simple; avoid formulae, italics, tables – anything that’s not essential to the problem. Popular choices for dummy words are `foo`, `bar`, and `baz`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Bibliography Files&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;      @book{Knu86,&#xD;&#xA;        author = {Knuth, Donald E.},&#xD;&#xA;        year = {1986},&#xD;&#xA;        title = {The \TeX book},&#xD;&#xA;      }&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents*}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \bibliography{\jobname} % if you’re using BibTeX&#xD;&#xA;    \addbibresource{\jobname.bib} % if you’re using biblatex&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Need a **.bib file** to reproduce your problem? Use a maximally simple entry embedded in a **`filecontents` environment** in the preamble. During the compilation, this will create a .bib file in the same directory as the `.tex` file, so users compiling your code only need to save one file by themselves.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another option for `biblatex` would be to use the file [`biblatex-examples.bib`][1], which should be installed with `biblatex` by default. You can find it in `bibtex/bib/biblatex/`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Data&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### －－ Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;![enter image description here][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Never* include data as an image.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Number of points    Values&#xD;&#xA;    10                   100&#xD;&#xA;    20                   400&#xD;&#xA;    30                  1200&#xD;&#xA;    40                  2345&#xD;&#xA;    etc...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents*}{data.txt}&#xD;&#xA;    Number of points, Values&#xD;&#xA;    10, 100&#xD;&#xA;    20, 400&#xD;&#xA;    30, 1200&#xD;&#xA;    40, 2345&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents*}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Including the data as part of the MWE makes the example portable as well.

As [Schweinebacke][1] said, read, read, read. But also do, do, do, for many years. I've been using TeX and then LaTeX for 30 years, and I've written about it and I teach it, but I'm still basically a user, not a computer scientist, and I will never know as much about it as people who have studied CS and know every line of TeX code.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Getting the concepts isn't hard, but it depends on how you learn. The very worst way is &quot;sitting by Nellie&quot; (old industrial slang for learning by sitting beside an older worker and copying everything they do — faults and all). Your colleague in the lab or library is probably the worst person to learn from. Better is a course or class, and even better if you RTFM as well. Learning the concepts makes learning the detail *much* easier and faster.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't get some of the concepts in TikZ either, because I haven't used it enough, and I haven't read enough of the documentation yet, and I don't know of a course or class. The trial-and-error, copy-and-paste approach is not really sustainable, although it's always excusable if you're under pressure to get that thesis submitted by the deadline. But LaTeX should *never* be &quot;only a tool&quot;, though: you wouldn't treat your car or your power screwdriver with that kind of disdain — at least, I hope not — and you shouldn't do so to software either.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The comparison with C++ is entirely bogus. [La]TeX *is* the &quot;real thing&quot; in its field, just as C++ is in its field. They are languages of comparable complexity, and it's possible to be a novice user and move towards becoming a guru over time in either of them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What motivates people to dig deeper? I suspect similar chemical drivers to those that motivate people to climb higher or run faster or find out more in any field. In my case, I started typesetting at an early age, and just wanted to master it (still waiting for that to happen).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But some people lack the time, or the inclination, or the level of interest, to learn any more than absolutely necessary on each occasion. They may feel they are winning, but over time they will probably spend more hours being frustrated than they would have spent learning *how*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/9057/schweinebacke" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

And unless the question obviously doesn't deserve an answer, we shouldn't normally vote to close a question that we wouldn't fee competent to answer ourselves (whether or not we would be inclined to do so).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In my opinion, there are only only a few clear cases where a question should be closed before an answer has been given or a reasonable time (at least 48 hours) has elapsed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* If the question is unequivocally spam.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* If the question is an absolute duplicate *question* (see below) to one that already has a good answer and, preferably, the OP has confirmed that it is, i.e. that the answer given to an earlier question has worked.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* If the question is clearly off-topic, or opinion-based, so that it will *never* deserve an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* If, as often happens, the questions was the result of some truly &quot;one-off&quot; problem or snafu on the part of the OP and has been resolved in comments. As we know, there's not pat category for this, and the practice is to close it as off-topic, IIRC. Anyway, the key point is that the question doesn't need an answer. But we have to be careful because people often make the same mistakes, and so these questions can be valuable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In nearly every other case, it is right to wait before closing a question, even if it seems *very likely* that it will in the end be closed:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The question is not clear. Give the OP a chance to clarify it. Be as specific as possible about what is not clear.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The question lacks truly essential information to enable it to be answered (e.g. as to a package or class that is being used). Give the OP a chance to provide that information. Be as specific as possible about what is needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The question is *probably* a duplicate to another similar but not identically worded question. In that case, point the OP to the question and ask if it is really a duplicate.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But we have always to remember these things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* A duplicate *question* is not the same thing as a duplicate *answer*. *You* know that an answer that tells you how to change a title to, say, italics, will also probably tell you how to change it to bold. A new TeXer won't. Experts are cursed with knowledge, and can't see that what is obviously the same problem for them looks quite different to others. The practice of referring posters to a selection of related answers as if they were duplicates is counter-productive. We are answering questions, not writing a manual.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Manual-shaming is shameful. Manuals vary in quality. Even good ones are often dense, and not always well-organised. In the case of some of the &quot;mega-packages&quot; (`KOMAscript`, `biblatex`, `fontspec`, `tikz`) the manuals are hugely forbidding and not at all structured for quick &quot;task and finish&quot; reference. RTFM is the pedagogical equivalent of observing that a language is Turing complete -- it really doesn't help in practice. Much better either to ignore the question, or answer it (with a reference to the manual, if you feel like it, or a reference to other more discursive material that may  be more suitable for a new TeXer).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Saying &quot;welcome&quot; is not the same thing as making someone feel welcome. Saying &quot;welcome, now please take off your shoes, don't touch the objets d'art, don't sit in my favourite chair, read this set of rules for the house&quot; ... it's not actually welcoming. This stuff needs to be done with tact, remembering that people come here with vastly different background knowledge and sometimes not very good English.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* New users have real problems creating MWEs, which we should be much kinder about than we often are. How often do we see the inconsistent criticisms: &quot;you left out some package you are using&quot; vs &quot;you have listed a load of packages that don't matter&quot;. Experts have a hunch, usually, what packages are likely to matter and which are not. New users often come with weird &quot;templates&quot; which load up all manner of deprecated cruft; they don't *know* about things like `\filecontents`, standard bibliography examples they could use, or example graphics. These things need to be handled quite delicately. It's often better and easier simply to edit the example when answering the question than to complain.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* It is nearly never right to *close* a question because it is a &quot;bad&quot; question. One downvote and no answers is the way to deal with those.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* It's just as important to upvote well written questions. There's a lot of stick around here sometimes, and not enough carrot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'd also venture a suggestion: those who do the valuable work of triaging questions (and it is valuable) should try to focus on questions that they feel they *might* conceivably answer, i.e. they understand enough to answer or at least to know how they would work an answer out. Just searching for similar questions if you don't understand the area, or demanding MWEs if you aren't personally going to use them, often doesn't help. Sometimes a person who could answer the question finds it quite clear without a fully compilable MWE, for instance. I'd say the same goes for voting to close. One should be pretty cautious about voting to close questions that are quite outside one's ability to answer, if the substance matters." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Most importantly, bear in mind that a question being placed on hold does *not* prevent the user from doing anything that they could do otherwise. The *only* two effects it has is it prevents *answers* (which won't usually be possible if the question is unclear, anyways), and, of course, it makes the question a candidate for deletion later.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;With that in mind, I believe the wrong questions are being asked here, and also the premise is *slightly* off:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. You keep saying &quot;closed&quot; but, at least for certain reasons (like &quot;unclear&quot;), you mean &quot;on hold&quot; (see e.g. the wording in the box). This is significant: Long ago this wording was changed specifically to highlight the fact that the state is often temporary. (It remains &quot;on hold&quot; for 5 days until it is labelled &quot;closed&quot;, although that is only a wording thing, the possible actions a user can take are not affected.)&#xD;&#xA;2. As mentioned, the user can still do everything they could do before. &#xD;&#xA;3. The &quot;on hold&quot; box says &quot;edit the question&quot; -- that's the reaction the user should take, and they can still take it.&#xD;&#xA;4. Putting a question on hold isn't bad. &#xD;&#xA;5. What you should really be doing is pushing for people to reopen more quickly and stop treating a question being put &quot;on hold&quot; as some sort of showstopper, which it isn't.&#xD;&#xA;6. You *should* be pushing for polite explanatory comments from existing users when a question is put on hold, explaining to the user how they can clarify and that their question can and will be reopened once they do clarify. *This* is the most valuable thing here: In addition to what is displayed in the box, **friendly, constructive comments are what makes the difference between &quot;on hold&quot; being perceived as good vs. bad**.&#xD;&#xA;7. If you believe the &quot;on hold&quot; instruction box is unclear to new users thus leaving them not knowing what to do, you should push for better wording.&#xD;&#xA;8. More subtle of course, your post *may* unintentionally contribute to a larger problem: By making a post like this you cast &quot;on hold&quot; in a negative light, thus increasing its undeserved bad rap, and it's a bit of a spiral.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Check out https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/10582/what-is-a-closed-or-on-hold-question for further info about the intent and process, as well as http://tex.stackexchange.com/help/closed-questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two MSE feature requests you may be interested in supporting: &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- [Notify users when their question is closed / on hold](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/93842/230261) (thus drawing more attention to the fact that a change should be made), and&#xD;&#xA;- [Notify users when a question they've voted to close is nominated for reopening](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/267675/230261) (thus encouraging review of questions that may have been improved and speeding up potential reopens).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The &quot;on hold&quot; system isn't bad. It's good. It's good because it prevents wandering answers to unclear questions, *and that's the **only** thing it prevents*. Having a question be put on hold is independent of whether or not the user can react, and therefore it does not matter if it's placed on hold before or after the user has reacted. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is exactly one situation where it actually can create a bit of friction, which is the relatively rare situation where 5 people deem the question is e.g. unclear, but then somebody comes along who is actually able to make sense of it but can't post an answer. This *does* happen sometimes. If this happens and you are that potential answerer, what you should do is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Edit the question to make it clearer for everybody, since you are able to make sense of it.&#xD;&#xA;2. Nominate it for reopening if you have the privilege.&#xD;&#xA;3. Leave a comment explaining what you did.&#xD;&#xA;4. As a last resort you can always solicit reopen votes for a question you've legitimately improved on meta or in chat.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The above is just for that one edge case.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Btw, [some data](http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/662948), if you want it, limited to the past year:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    Total Questions:        27001 &#xD;&#xA;    Open Questions:         21203  (includes reopened)&#xD;&#xA;    Closed Questions:        2704  (not deleted)&#xD;&#xA;    Deleted Questions:       3094    &#xD;&#xA;    Closed Unclear/Broad:     387  (not deleted)&#xD;&#xA;    Reopened Unclear/Broad:    35                   &#xD;&#xA;    Reopened Total:           144      &#xD;&#xA;    Avg.

I'm not sure how the original problem occurred, but TeX and its meta had a very odd database collation. Of the hundreds of databases, it was only those. We didn't recognize this for several years until we started aggregating data across databases for several network screens (think: top bar, achievements, rep, etc.).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The only way to fix this *online* and permanently (not ending up with a two-off database with a different structure) was to make a new Tex database and migrate things over. This happened by making TeX/meta read-only, moving the data in the background, and swapping the connection over at the end. But it appears that the strange collation the database was on handled double backslashes particularly in an odd way that did not convert to `SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS` cleanly.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I looked back at our internal chat logs, and a hint that this was an issue didn't reach our ears until July 15th, 2015. Unfortunately, we don't keep data forever and by years later, those database backups were long gone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We can't just fix this because we don't have the data, but we're looking at options to help scale out fixing this quickly, for example possibly a new review queue we can populate with these posts for quick fixing by many. We don't have the data to do this with 100% accuracy, and we can't trust a query would be 100% accurate either, but populating a queue to very quickly. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before we go down that road, **is that an appealing option?** There are other uses for such functionality, e.g. when we detect images that are no longer there and posts need some love, etc." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

From the research I've done, such a package does not exist, but many people would benefit from it. There are many questions about this in the main site (I've linked a few below), but I want to ask the more &quot;meta&quot; question about whether a different solution could or should be created. Here are the relevant points that I've thought of.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Why I think it does not exist yet**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Helvetica makes a poor choice for setting the main text of a scientific document. In paragraph form, it can be hard to read, and the fact that some characters are indistinguishable (capital I (i) and lower case l (L) makes it dangerous for math, where meaning is carried by individual characters rather than words.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Why I still think the package should exist (and why it's important)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As the main text of a scientific document, Helvetica fails. But as the font choice for graphics in scientific papers, it is the de facto standard! Some journals (Nature and Science) prefer all the text in figures be set in Helvetica or a close relative. For graphics, readability is not as crucial because text is limited to single words or phrases. Also, any ambiguity introduced by identical characters in the figures should be obvious to those who read the the figure captions or main text. What seems to matter most for figure text is having the right style, and the neo-grotesque fonts like Helvetica have become the standard for that neutral, familiar, scientific look.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Scientists use latex as a tool to produce good-looking documents without having to be specialists in typesetting or design. However, while scientists rarely have to typeset documents, they are often required to typeset figures. Figures are both the only parts of published articles that scientists are expected to typeset themselves and the parts for which latex does not provide an adequate solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To see the state of scientific graphics in 2017, browse a well-respected journal, like [PRX][1] (it's open-access for y'all), and notice how figures mix serif math with sans-serif text, and even randomly use different sans-serif fonts in the same figure as if they are identical (these mixed solutions are even recommended by tex.stackexchange in the links below). I believe TeX can help solve these problem! &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What options exist for typesetting graphics (and why they are inadequate)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First off, my experience in creating figures for scientific purposes is mostly from using python's matplotlib library, which allows you to use latex to typeset all or some of the text. When choosing fontsets, the easiest to work with are those that come in a latex package that includes math support. Most of such packages are for serifed fonts, but for the most part, people avoid serifed fonts in figures. Usually the body text of a paper is set in a serif font, and unless you match it exactly in typeface and size, you can create some typographical dissonance. It is much more common to use a san-serif font so that contrast with the main text is explicit and so that the smaller sizes needed in the figures can still be rendered and easily read.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This leads us to search for sans-serif font latex packages with math. One option is the package Arev, which provides the font DejaVu Sans with math support (this is the default choice in matplotlib 2.0). Another option is Computer Modern Bright. Browsing the [latex font catalog][2], those two are really the only options for consistent sans-serif math. Other sans options on the list are either Frankensteins (one font for text, another for math, like FiraSans with `newtxsf`, which uses Stix Sans for math) or are just not suited for scientific figures (in my opinion) due to their unique and potentially unprofessional looks (iwona, kurier, ...).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So are Arev and CMBright good enough for professional-looking scientific graphics? I think they could be, but they do bring their own unique style to the figure, and many scientists just want their figure text to look good, standard, and unremarkable. DejaVu (through Arev) and Computer Modern bright are good fonts, but they are quite different from Helvetica (see [here][3] and [here][4]). To my eye, both fontsets give a more humanist, optimistic feel than the more neutral Helvetica. While either choice may be better than Helvetica for typesetting a full paper, for the figures of a paper using a Times-like serif font, I think Helvetica is the more appropriate choice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are ways to get fake math support for Helvetica using packages like `sansmathfonts`, `mathastext`, and `sfmath`. In my experience, using these packages can work, but it is a slippery slope to the world of endless hacking and tweaking, making it difficult to get a truly professional-looking result. What we need is something as easy as `\usepackage{helvetica-with-math}` that includes a Helvetica-looking version of all the greek letters in italics and upright, as well all the mathematical symbols that might be reasonably needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Searching around leads to many threads in both the latex and matplotlib communities of people looking for a solution to this problem. Here are just a few I came across:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/197813/how-to-combine-another-sans-serif-math-font-with-helvet-for-text&#xD;&#xA;* https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/359530/setting-up-a-sans-serif-document-including-math-in-2017-using-pdftex?noredirect=1&amp;lq=1&#xD;&#xA;* https://3diagramsperpage.wordpress.com/2015/04/11/matplotlib-figures-with-helvetica-labels-helvet-vs-tgheros/ &#xD;&#xA;* https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/39827/math-font-to-match-helvetica&#xD;&#xA;* https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/39042/helvetica-font-and-ohm-symbol?rq=1&#xD;&#xA;* https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/151529/combining-helvetica-and-symbol-fonts-with-mathspec?rq=1&#xD;&#xA;* https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/160381/specific-font-for-specific-characters-with-mathspec-package?rq=1&#xD;&#xA;* http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2537868/sans-serif-math-with-latex-in-matplotlib/20709149#20709149&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Conclusions**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm a latex and python user trying to make figures for my scientific papers. I've realized how hard it is to make what I thought should have been the simplest choice of using a Helvetica-like font for both text and math. It seems to me that a quality Helvetica clone package with full math support would solve most of these problems, and my feeling is that such a package could quickly become the standard package used in scientific plotting engines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I see two good future scenarios. 1) The e-Gust foundry (creators of the Tex Gyre Heros font) develops math support for Heros and releases it as a latex package. 2) The Stix project, which solved a similar problem by giving us a Times-like font with full math support, produce a Helvetica-like font. The Stix project was funded by a group of publishers who use the fonts, and it would be great for them and us if they released a font package for figures. The figures in their journals would improve, and the scientific community would finally have an adequate answer to this recurring question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm curious to see if anyone agrees with me. Is this a real need? Is anyone working on it? Am I missing a simple solution? How do we commission the package I'm suggesting? What challenges am I unaware of?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://journals.aps.org/prx/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/mathfonts.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.identifont.com/differences?first=Helvetica&amp;second=DejaVu%20Sans&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.identifont.com/differences?first=helvetica&amp;second=CMSS&amp;q=Go" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

There is also an [stackapps app](https://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](https://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format. The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`.

Caramdir could edit his and provide more information about why the lines need to be removed, but that's his choice.  I don't think that this is the SO route - except for FAQs, which should have an official answer.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, see [this][1] hour-old SO thread about unit testing in python.  There three answers which provide a package, a tutorial, and a book, respectively, which are more highly voted than several others.  These are three equally valid and useful answers.  The questioner will select the answer which is most applicable to his problem and learning style, and the others will be highly voted alternatives - honorable mention, if you will.  If this were a mature question, I'd read these three and ignore the 0- and 1-vote noise below.  In contrast, [this question][2] on MO which has a single answer which is provably correct.  Perhaps that kind of question has determined MO behavior?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On this site, some answers may be provably correct.  However, this is likely to be the exception, rather than the rule.  IMO, questions which (1) have answers which cannot be compiled by a single user (&quot;big-list&quot;), or (2) which should have official answers (FAQ and policy-determining questions) should have one community-wiki answer including all agreed-upon points, and maybe some dissenting opinions if appropriate.

It might be that users *additionally* join our site, with no harm to the other forum. Many maths, physics, chemistry or operating systems discussion boards have subforums dealing with LaTeX.

Tell your friends in TeX user groups. The students at your university might be happy to hear about a place that helps them solving LaTeX problems with their writings.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Link to our solutions.** If you see a problem in an online discussion, it would help the questioner to find the solution here. Perhaps he would come back here helping other users or discussing more questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Think about events on our site.** Perhaps there could be a contest in article writing, in finding a solution for an existing problem, in raising the best idea on a certain suject, or making the best design for a TeX mousepad with reference sheet or a cup or the like. :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - **Post interesting questions**.

It's a very friendly place, where we talk about virtually everything - even TeX, sometimes! I decided to give it a try and add a few &quot;extra features&quot; to our chatroom, and the result is presented in this meta thread.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I was planning to implement a bot and find a way to wrap it into the SE infrastructure. Thankfully, there is already a project from [Zirak](https://stackoverflow.com/users/617762/zirak) named [SO-ChatBot](https://github.com/Zirak/SO-ChatBot), a bot written in JavaScript which runs in one's browser session. I played with it a little and decided to tweak it (apart from my lack of JS skills) in order to make it more TeXy. The result is *Psmith*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Introduction&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*Psmith* is a SO chatroom bot based on Zirak's original code which runs under my credentials and within my browser session. If I'm not in the room or if I didn't deliberately trigger the startup script, the bot won't respond. I'm in charge of the bot's execution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# The name&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;We first thought of Jeeves, but it's taken. Then our next attempt was with Wooster, but it wasn't catchy enough. I thought of Jarvis, but it's too Stark-based. `:)` Then Andrew suggested [Psmith](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psmith), and we all approved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Available commands&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Our bot recognizes the following commands:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/answer question`: an experimental command where the bot tries to actually answer your question. The database is still tiny, we are working on it.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/basketball`: fetches the last news from basketball and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/battle`: displays and compares the daily reputations of the titans, egreg and David Carlisle.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/choose opt1, opt2, ... , optn`: chooses one of the elements from the given comma-separated list.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/cricket`: fetches the last news from cricket and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/ctan`: displays the last entries available in the official CTAN announcement RSS feed.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/eightball question`: replies the question with a `yes/no` answer.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/fencing`: fetches the last news from fencing and displays them nicely.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help`: displays the general help.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/help command`: displays the help related to the specific `command` commands.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/list`: lists all the bot's commands.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/reputation userid`: displays the reputation of the user whose id is `userid`&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/song`: list the song _Psmith_'s master, [Paulo](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/3094/paulo-cereda), is currently listening to.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/texdef arguments`: runs Martin Scharrer's amazing [`texdef`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/texdef) tool on the provided parameters.&#xD;&#xA;- `!!/translate from lang1 to lang2 text`: translates `text` from `lang1` to `lang2`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Potential issues&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This bot replies under my name, with the **Psmith, the TeX bot** prefix. Most of the commands are asynchronous, so the bot might take a while to answer. If too many requests are made, the bot might flood the chat and I get suspended for spam. `:)` So, take it easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Why am I posting this text?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/116589/are-bots-specifically-allowed-or-prohibited-in-stack-exchange-chatrooms&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; [...] Finally, a bot will be held against abuse standards just like any other user. If it &quot;behaves&quot; inappropriately, we're not going to like that. This holds both as far as the actual chatting (content/flooding) goes, as well as considering communication with the server (if you poll the server for new messages every 50ms, that's going to get you banned pretty quickly).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; That said, we're all programmers here, and this is the kind of &quot;exercise&quot; we like. So we'll probably not come after you with pitchforks.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; But just to make it clear: We can, at any time and with or without any reason, say &quot;We don't want that anymore; turn it off now.&quot;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't leave the bot unsupervised, at least for long periods of time. That said, I'm in the chatroom almost 24h/day, and I monitor the bot's activities and replies. I can shutdown the little rascal if needed, at any time and moment. Every command is triggered at my side of the connection, in my machine, including `texdef` running on my TeX distro. In other words, the JS script adds hooks to the messages, intercepts certain patterns and then forwards requests to my local machine for processing. Then, the reply happens as if I were typing that message.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As [balpha](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/115866) said in his reply, it's a good exercise. `:)` Let's see how it goes. If the SO team thinks this is a terrible idea or if it opens a dangerous precedent, by all means, let me know. I can easily shutdown everything, by simply closing my browser. `:)`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By the way, thanks to [Aarthi](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/users/165582) for being so kind in helping me with the procedures to announce the bot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Thanks a lot. `:)`" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

So questions about Lilypond's syntax (or the Scheme syntax used to modify it) are off topic.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As with any program that produces graphical output (Inkscape, Gimp, Photoshop), you can include the output graphic files into a LaTeX document using `\includegraphics` from the `graphicx` package.

Questions about doing this are only on topic if they relate to how TeX gets and arranges that box on the page.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The Lilypond documentation gives the impression that the program is closely integrated with LaTeX because there is a `lilypond-book` program that includes Lilypond images within a LaTeX file. This program is basically just an automated way of processing each separate image with Lilypond and then using `\includegraphics`.

If the consensus is, that automatic/mandatory justification cannot work, would it be possible to format existing/new posts, where appropriate, to justified text? Would such a feature-request would make any sense, and would anyone actually support such a feature request? Again, it seems to me that the width of the posts and comments are fixed, so window-resizing wouldn't cause things to go crazy.

From the research I've done, such a package does not exist, but many people would benefit from it. There are many questions about this in the main site (I've linked a few below), but I want to ask the more &quot;meta&quot; question about whether a different solution could or should be created. Here are the relevant points that I've thought of.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Why I think it does not exist yet**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Helvetica makes a poor choice for setting the main text of a scientific document. In paragraph form, it can be hard to read, and the fact that some characters are indistinguishable (capital I (i) and lower case l (L) makes it dangerous for math, where meaning is carried by individual characters rather than words.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Why I still think the package should exist (and why it's important)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As the main text of a scientific document, Helvetica fails. But as the font choice for graphics in scientific papers, it is the de facto standard! Some journals (Nature and Science) prefer all the text in figures be set in Helvetica or a close relative. For graphics, readability is not as crucial because text is limited to single words or phrases. Also, any ambiguity introduced by identical characters in the figures should be obvious to those who read the the figure captions or main text. What seems to matter most for figure text is having the right style, and the neo-grotesque fonts like Helvetica have become the standard for that neutral, familiar, scientific look.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Scientists use latex as a tool to produce good-looking documents without having to be specialists in typesetting or design. However, while scientists rarely have to typeset documents, they are often required to typeset figures. Figures are both the only parts of published articles that scientists are expected to typeset themselves and the parts for which latex does not provide an adequate solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To see the state of scientific graphics in 2017, browse a well-respected journal, like [PRX][1] (it's open-access for y'all), and notice how figures mix serif math with sans-serif text, and even randomly use different sans-serif fonts in the same figure as if they are identical (these mixed solutions are even recommended by tex.stackexchange in the links below). I believe TeX can help solve these problem! &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**What options exist for typesetting graphics (and why they are inadequate)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First off, my experience in creating figures for scientific purposes is mostly from using python's matplotlib library, which allows you to use latex to typeset all or some of the text. When choosing fontsets, the easiest to work with are those that come in a latex package that includes math support. Most of such packages are for serifed fonts, but for the most part, people avoid serifed fonts in figures. Usually the body text of a paper is set in a serif font, and unless you match it exactly in typeface and size, you can create some typographical dissonance. It is much more common to use a san-serif font so that contrast with the main text is explicit and so that the smaller sizes needed in the figures can still be rendered and easily read.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This leads us to search for sans-serif font latex packages with math. One option is the package Arev, which provides the font DejaVu Sans with math support (this is the default choice in matplotlib 2.0). Another option is Computer Modern Bright. Browsing the [latex font catalog][2], those two are really the only options for consistent sans-serif math. Other sans options on the list are either Frankensteins (one font for text, another for math, like FiraSans with `newtxsf`, which uses Stix Sans for math) or are just not suited for scientific figures (in my opinion) due to their unique and potentially unprofessional looks (iwona, kurier, ...).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So are Arev and CMBright good enough for professional-looking scientific graphics? I think they could be, but they do bring their own unique style to the figure, and many scientists just want their figure text to look good, standard, and unremarkable. DejaVu (through Arev) and Computer Modern bright are good fonts, but they are quite different from Helvetica (see [here][3] and [here][4]). To my eye, both fontsets give a more humanist, optimistic feel than the more neutral Helvetica. While either choice may be better than Helvetica for typesetting a full paper, for the figures of a paper using a Times-like serif font, I think Helvetica is the more appropriate choice.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are ways to get fake math support for Helvetica using packages like `sansmathfonts`, `mathastext`, and `sfmath`. In my experience, using these packages can work, but it is a slippery slope to the world of endless hacking and tweaking, making it difficult to get a truly professional-looking result. What we need is something as easy as `\usepackage{helvetica-with-math}` that includes a Helvetica-looking version of all the greek letters in italics and upright, as well all the mathematical symbols that might be reasonably needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Searching around leads to many threads in both the latex and matplotlib communities of people looking for a solution to this problem. Here are just a few I came across:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/197813/how-to-combine-another-sans-serif-math-font-with-helvet-for-text&#xD;&#xA;* https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/359530/setting-up-a-sans-serif-document-including-math-in-2017-using-pdftex?noredirect=1&amp;lq=1&#xD;&#xA;* https://3diagramsperpage.wordpress.com/2015/04/11/matplotlib-figures-with-helvetica-labels-helvet-vs-tgheros/ &#xD;&#xA;* https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/39827/math-font-to-match-helvetica&#xD;&#xA;* https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/39042/helvetica-font-and-ohm-symbol?rq=1&#xD;&#xA;* https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/151529/combining-helvetica-and-symbol-fonts-with-mathspec?rq=1&#xD;&#xA;* https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/160381/specific-font-for-specific-characters-with-mathspec-package?rq=1&#xD;&#xA;* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2537868/sans-serif-math-with-latex-in-matplotlib/20709149#20709149&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Conclusions**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm a latex and python user trying to make figures for my scientific papers. I've realized how hard it is to make what I thought should have been the simplest choice of using a Helvetica-like font for both text and math. It seems to me that a quality Helvetica clone package with full math support would solve most of these problems, and my feeling is that such a package could quickly become the standard package used in scientific plotting engines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I see two good future scenarios. 1) The e-Gust foundry (creators of the Tex Gyre Heros font) develops math support for Heros and releases it as a latex package. 2) The Stix project, which solved a similar problem by giving us a Times-like font with full math support, produce a Helvetica-like font. The Stix project was funded by a group of publishers who use the fonts, and it would be great for them and us if they released a font package for figures. The figures in their journals would improve, and the scientific community would finally have an adequate answer to this recurring question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm curious to see if anyone agrees with me. Is this a real need? Is anyone working on it? Am I missing a simple solution? How do we commission the package I'm suggesting? What challenges am I unaware of?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://journals.aps.org/prx/&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/mathfonts.html&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: http://www.identifont.com/differences?first=Helvetica&amp;second=DejaVu%20Sans&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: http://www.identifont.com/differences?first=helvetica&amp;second=CMSS&amp;q=Go" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Instead, produce a [minimal working example (MWE)](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228) to reproduce the problem and what has been done so far to solve it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; - This question was caused by **a problem that can no longer be reproduced or a simple typographical error.** While similar questions may be on-topic here, this one was resolved in a manner unlikely to help future readers.

The logic here is that these older questions _were on topic for their current site when posted_, so have good reason to stay. Moreover, given differences in the approach on different sites, migrations tend to be more in need of editing than is the general position. Both of these factors mean that migrations are restricted to new(ish) questions, where 'active' engagement by the poster and others can be expected.

But the duplicate question absolutely starts out with exactly the question you are asking:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; This question is pretty simple: I'd like to have the possibility to get the exact size of a picture in LaTeX with, for example, the macro `\the`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;In fact, I've founded the way `\settoheight{}` and so on, but it didn't work at all. What I've got doesn't match with what I can see in the image properties (I suppose that's the name in English). The result: 8pt versus 1300 pixels. It's may be a mis-use...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And while it's true that the end goal of that user's question was different, the question still remains, and there is an answer (Jake's) that clearly explains how to find the size of an included image.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the comments to your question, you say that Jake's solution&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt;seems to solve my problem, but it does it in a really inconvenient way, requring me to reenter the includegraphics command twice, and printing the answer into the document itself instead of the console.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But surely these are minor details.  Or if they are not, then the standard procedure is to edit your question using the linked proposed duplicate solution and then explain why that answer isn't sufficient.  (In this particular case, the issue of how you output the values seems trivial to me, and so I would still think the edited question was a duplicate.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But if you do want to edit your question in this way, you could ask for it to be reopened.  Your question is a clearer question in many ways than the duplicate, for sure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But duplicate questions don't typically get deleted, so people will still find your question in searches anyway, so I'm not sure that it's such a big issue."

However in March of this year this was showing 7322  posts, as noted in a comment under m0sa's answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A purely automatic method of fixing these posts was complicated by the fact that there were some (probably less then a hundred) posts with legitimate use for backslash-four spaces. Typically &quot;ASCII art&quot; renditions of trees. For postings prior to 2014 as returned by the above query these have all been changed to use a form not returned by the query (using non-breaking space for ASCII Art or just formatting the tex code not to have four spaces after a single `\ `) This was done to prevent the same postings re-appearing and requiring human intervention each time anyone tried to search remaining bug instances.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As Stackexchange failed to provide any tools to address this issue, the bulk of the questions were addressed by running variants of the above query, which provided links directly to the edit page of the affected post.  Then copying the text to a buffer in an emacs text editor which had the required replacement function already defined. This function fixed the text and put the replacement text back in the operating system clipboard in a few keystokes, which could then be pasted back into the browser edit window and saved.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The emacs lisp used query-replace so that the edits could be checked for false positive cases as described above, these had to be handled by hand, but for the bulk of cases a posting could be fixed in around 10 seconds. For ~7500 postings that is still 21 hours, and actual elapsed time was certainly greater than this as people slow down, or the site flagged issues with images in edited posts that required manual intervention, or any other reason.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The data-query and emacs based workflow described above was used by Moriambar and myself, Barbara Beeton who was the other person to do bulk edits used a variant using site search directly on the live site (apart from anything else having the alternative search helped fix some issues in our data queries). Many other people helped out by fixing smaller numbers of queries, in particular fixing their own posts that had been affected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A list of everyone who edited a pre-2014 posting in 2017 is:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;http://data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/685628/users-with-the-most-edits-of-old-posts-in-2017&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's worth noting that by far the largest number of edits is by &quot;Community&quot;  with 4 times as many edits as the next person. These would (mostly) be [edits to change URL from http to https](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/-1/community?tab=activity&amp;sort=revisions&amp;page=2). Note this was done as a silent back-end edit to the collection, without flagging each question as an edited question and raising to the top of the home page, and without requiring dozens of hours of manual volunteer work to make the change. It is a shame that Community could not have been coerced into fixing this issue. (Bulk editing the full list followed by a manual check for the few cases where the edit was not required would have been _much_ quicker).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

In the spirit of &quot;better late than never,&quot; here's a very short post-mortem. Several developers and CMs did spend a significant amount of time &quot;behind the scenes&quot; trying to identify the cause of the bug and create a fix. As has been mentioned, the errors were initially caused by a change on our end, but we could not track down the exact original details due to a combination of age and poor record-keeping. Regardless, we considered solving the problem by performing a mass edit on the backend, but every edit strategy we tested seemed to break as many posts as it fixed, and we erred on the side of not introducing new bugs. Not knowing the original list of affected posts hampered us there. Ultimately, of course, we did not solve the problem. We did learn a lesson about keeping better backups, which should help you as well as the rest of the network going forward.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I want to acknowledge that a big part of the problem here was _how_ we were working: as I said earlier, it was behind the scenes. As such, you had no way of knowing whether we were working at all, or even that we cared. I often give the advice that a bad perception can be as damaging as a bad reality, and in this case I failed to heed it myself. We on the team have a tendency to think of ourselves as transparent&amp;#8212;because that is our honest intent&amp;#8212;while falling into the trap of waiting &quot;just a little longer&quot; until we have something more substantive to announce, when in many cases &quot;just a little longer&quot; turns into &quot;a lot longer&quot; or &quot;never.&quot; We've become more aware of the problem recently, and are working on it. In short, we'll try to be more communicative with you about what steps we are taking as we are working, in the future.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;At the suggestion of your moderator team, Stack Exchange will be making a contribution in TeX SE's honor to [TUG 2018](https://tug.org/tug2018/), the annual meeting of the TeX Users Group (TUG) which will be held in Rio de Janiero next year. (This is separate from/in addition to the annual donation we make to TUG that grants this community [institutional membership benefits in that organization](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/7212/tug-representatives-for-2017).) The exact details are still in the works but will be announced when possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As a more tangible show of gratitude, we will be sending some TeX SE &quot;swag&quot; to users who contributed to the editing effort. If that includes you, be on the lookout for an e-mail from Stack Overflow (or just e-mail us yourself, referencing this meta post)." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

The aim of TeX-sx is to provide answers to questions on topics 'somewhat' related to TeX. In particular, the site needs to offer a realistic chance of the questions being answered well, and for there to be some logic to looking here rather than elsewhere. This fits into the general StackOverflow model: provide _useful_ answers to both the original questioner and to others with the same issues/queries.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The site has always been 'TeX, LaTeX and friends' to avoid limiting just to LaTeX and to have 'LaTeX' in the title so 'TeX' doesn't put people off! That's a bit wordy hence the 'TeX-sx' or similar abbreviation. At the same time, we've never aimed to cover 'Computer typography' or 'Programmatic typography' as a whole. So how do we define the 'friends' to fit in with the above idea of wanting answers? There needs to be some reasonable probably of a good answer (or answers) from a set of people with relevant expertise (both to answer and to review/vote). (People may well have expertise on non-TeX topics too, but those questions can still belong elsewhere.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The [answer by yo'](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/7378) has provided four categories of material that we might divide questions into, and he suggests that SILE falls outside of our scope. I'd look at this slightly differently (though not massively). Where a question is about SILE ('How do I do X in SILE?') it seems to me to be off-topic: it's not something 'we' have expertise on and is likely directly at a single person (the SILE author). On the other hand, where there is some link to TeX code we _might_ regard it as on-topic.

First, pragmatically, people here specialize in TeX-based software. Second, conceptually, we tend to strongly distinguish the way how the software works inside.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;SILE seems to be in Category 2 and whence is not covered."

Not the community, and possibly not even the OP.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The main purpose of this seems to be personal. That is, you want to tell others &quot;please don't answer this question, because **I** am answering it.&quot; Fine. I doubt it'll change people's behaviour and make them stop considering to answer a question. Why? You don't know who's writing up the answer (not that it should matter) nor what they're writing. Moreover, even though this remains a *community*-driven knowledge base, *reputation* remains a driving force behind people's contributions and this is *individual*-based. So, people will still feel like they can contribute something before someone else, because they may end up gaining some reputation from that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I think a better course of action is to answer a question without even considering that others may also answer the same question. Write it up to the best of your abilities, adding as much information as possible and posting it. If the answer is completely covered by someone else, then delete it. If yours has an advantage over someone else's hopefully the community will using their voting power (and logic) to distinguish the answer rank.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A counter-argument to your suggestion would involve considering how to deal with the following scenario: Someone clicks the &quot;I am working on an answer&quot;-button but takes a week to completely write up their (comprehensive) answer. Should the community sit in anticipation for this answer without doing anything? By that time, the OP may have moved on to other forums looking for help. Speed in answering remains one of the things that questioners come here for. The other surely is quality.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Ultimately, the &quot;answer that helped [the OP] most&quot; will be selected as the &quot;correct answer&quot; and this is very subjective. You could end up writing &quot;the best answer ever&quot;, only to &quot;lose out&quot; to someone else's code-only answer (say)." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

However, if you&#xD;&#xA;     search for them on the Internet,&#xD;&#xA;    almost always you find the solution or, at least, you understand what&#xD;&#xA;    they mean.&#xD;&#xA;    \medskip&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Remember that the most important error is the first one, the &#xD;&#xA;    others may be a consequence of that one.&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \duckdecor&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    The log is useful also if there is no error.&#xD;&#xA;    \medskip&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    For instance, the command  &#xD;&#xA;    \texttt{\string\listfiles} writes on your log the versions&#xD;&#xA;    of all the packages you are using.&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Many problems could be solved merely updating your \TeX\ distribution, quack!&#xD;&#xA;    \end{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \frametitle{What you should do \emph{before} asking: \emph{searching}}&#xD;&#xA;    Another huge source of information is the Internet. &#xD;&#xA;    If you have a problem, it is very likely that someone else had the&#xD;&#xA;    same problem before, search with your browser, quack!&#xD;&#xA;    \medskip&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    However, pay attention: like everything you find on the web,  &#xD;&#xA;    some information could be incorrect or obsolete.&#xD;&#xA;    A list of the reliable resources can be found here:&#xD;&#xA;    \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/162/101651}.&#xD;&#xA;    \duckdecor&#xD;&#xA;    You could also directly use the search field on the top right of&#xD;&#xA;    \texse\ main site home page (see &#xD;&#xA;    \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching}). &#xD;&#xA;    \end{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \frametitle{How you \emph{should} ask}&#xD;&#xA;    If all your searching was fruitless, let's see how to ask a question:&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{enumerate}&#xD;&#xA;    \item the title: be specific!

Many things can &#xD;&#xA;    change if you are using \texttt{beamer} &#xD;&#xA;    instead of \texttt{article}, for example.&#xD;&#xA;    \item the packages: list all the packages needed to reproduce your problem,&#xD;&#xA;    and only those, do not be verbose, quack!&#xD;&#xA;    \item the \texttt{document} environment: &#xD;&#xA;    put your code within \texttt{\string\begin\string{document\string}} and &#xD;&#xA;    \texttt{\string\end\string{document\string}} and add only the lines strictly &#xD;&#xA;    necessary to reproduce your problem. &#xD;&#xA;    Do not post only code snippets.&#xD;&#xA;    \end{enumerate}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Test your \mwe\ before adding it to your question.&#xD;&#xA;    You have to be sure it works or, if it does not &#xD;&#xA;    work, it gives the same error you are struggling about.&#xD;&#xA;    \end{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \frametitle{Packages and pages useful for \mwe\ writing}&#xD;&#xA;    There are also many packages which help you to create an \mwe. &#xD;&#xA;    \medskip &#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    For instance, &#xD;&#xA;    \texttt{lipsum} and &#xD;&#xA;    \texttt{blindtext} help you &#xD;&#xA;    to produce some text with no &#xD;&#xA;    meaning, just to fill your pages preserving	your privacy or copyright. &#xD;&#xA;    \texttt{graphicx} allows you &#xD;&#xA;    to use some example images.

However, if you&#xD;&#xA;     search for them on the Internet,&#xD;&#xA;    almost always you find the solution or, at least, you understand what&#xD;&#xA;    they mean.&#xD;&#xA;    \medskip&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Remember that the most important error is the first one, the &#xD;&#xA;    others may be a consequence of that one.&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \duckdecor&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    The log is useful also if there is no error.&#xD;&#xA;    \medskip&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    For instance, the command  &#xD;&#xA;    \texttt{\string\listfiles} writes on your log the versions&#xD;&#xA;    of all the packages you are using.&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Many problems could be solved merely updating your \TeX\ distribution, quack!&#xD;&#xA;    \end{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \frametitle{What you should do \emph{before} asking: \emph{searching}}&#xD;&#xA;    Another huge source of information is the Internet. &#xD;&#xA;    If you have a problem, it is very likely that someone else had the&#xD;&#xA;    same problem before, search with your browser, quack!&#xD;&#xA;    \medskip&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    However, pay attention: like everything you find on the web,  &#xD;&#xA;    some information could be incorrect or obsolete.&#xD;&#xA;    A list of the reliable resources can be found here:&#xD;&#xA;    \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/162/101651}.&#xD;&#xA;    \duckdecor&#xD;&#xA;    You could also directly use the search field on the top right of&#xD;&#xA;    \texse\ main site home page (see &#xD;&#xA;    \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/help/searching}). &#xD;&#xA;    \end{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \frametitle{How you \emph{should} ask}&#xD;&#xA;    If all your searching was fruitless, let's see how to ask a question:&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{enumerate}&#xD;&#xA;    \item the title: be specific! Do not write things like&#xD;&#xA;    \emph{How can I do this in \LaTeX?} or \emph{Why doesn't my code work?}&#xD;&#xA;    \item the body: give all the details to understand &#xD;&#xA;    your problem and add your \mwe\ (see the following slides)&#xD;&#xA;    \item the tags: add the correct tags!&#xD;&#xA;    Look at the tag description before using it. &#xD;&#xA;    \end{enumerate}&#xD;&#xA;    \medskip&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    For more information, see here:&#xD;&#xA;    \url{https://tex.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask}.&#xD;&#xA;    \end{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \frametitle{The essential: the \emph{minimal working example (\mwe)}}&#xD;&#xA;    Let's see how to write a \mwe:&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{enumerate}&#xD;&#xA;    \item the \texttt{\string\documentclass}: always indicate it. Many things can &#xD;&#xA;    change if you are using \texttt{beamer} &#xD;&#xA;    instead of \texttt{article}, for example.&#xD;&#xA;    \item the packages: list all the packages needed to reproduce your problem,&#xD;&#xA;    and only those, do not be verbose, quack!&#xD;&#xA;    \item the \texttt{document} environment: &#xD;&#xA;    put your code within \texttt{\string\begin\string{document\string}} and &#xD;&#xA;    \texttt{\string\end\string{document\string}} and add only the lines strictly &#xD;&#xA;    necessary to reproduce your problem. &#xD;&#xA;    Do not post only code snippets.&#xD;&#xA;    \end{enumerate}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Test your \mwe\ before adding it to your question.&#xD;&#xA;    You have to be sure it works or, if it does not &#xD;&#xA;    work, it gives the same error you are struggling about.&#xD;&#xA;    \end{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \frametitle{Packages and pages useful for \mwe\ writing}&#xD;&#xA;    There are also many packages which help you to create an \mwe. &#xD;&#xA;    \medskip &#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    For instance, &#xD;&#xA;    \texttt{lipsum} and &#xD;&#xA;    \texttt{blindtext} help you &#xD;&#xA;    to produce some text with no &#xD;&#xA;    meaning, just to fill your pages preserving	your privacy or copyright. &#xD;&#xA;    \texttt{graphicx} allows you &#xD;&#xA;    to use some example images. There is also an &#xD;&#xA;    \texttt{mwe} package, guess what it is for, quack!&#xD;&#xA;    \medskip&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Moreover, \texttt{showframe} could be handy in case of&#xD;&#xA;    \emph{Overfull hbox} or,  in general, for refining the alignment.&#xD;&#xA;    \duckdecor&#xD;&#xA;    On Meta you can find useful pages about \mwe: &#xD;&#xA;    \url{https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    and \mwe\ with bibliography (\mweb):&#xD;&#xA;    \url{https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/4407}. &#xD;&#xA;    \end{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \frametitle{What you should do \emph{after} asking}&#xD;&#xA;    Once you have posted your question, your work is not over.&#xD;&#xA;    \medskip&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    You have to pay attention to the possible comments of other users&#xD;&#xA;    and reply to them, usually they ask for clarifications.&#xD;&#xA;    \duckdecor&#xD;&#xA;    Finally, when someone posts the answer with&#xD;&#xA;    the solution you were waiting for,&#xD;&#xA;    you have to do a very important action:&#xD;&#xA;    accept it by clicking the specific tick (see here for more details: &#xD;&#xA;    \url{https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1852}).&#xD;&#xA;    \duckdecor&#xD;&#xA;    If you have more than 15 reputation points, you can also &#xD;&#xA;    upvote all the answers which are useful for you, please do it, quack!&#xD;&#xA;    \end{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \frametitle{The correct way to say \emph{thank you!}}&#xD;&#xA;    Remember that the users who answered are&#xD;&#xA;    not paid for it, accepting and upvoting are the correct ways to say &#xD;&#xA;    \emph{thank you!}&#xD;&#xA;    \medskip&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{tcolorbox}[adjusted title={How to thank},&#xD;&#xA;    attach boxed title to top]&#xD;&#xA;    \vspace{-4pt}\centering&#xD;&#xA;    \begin{tikzpicture}[%&#xD;&#xA;    tondo/.style={circle, draw=orange, thick, text width=1.5em},&#xD;&#xA;    quadro/.style={%&#xD;&#xA;    rounded corners, draw=orange, thick, &#xD;&#xA;    align=center,&#xD;&#xA;    font={\small},&#xD;&#xA;    text width=12em,&#xD;&#xA;    minimum height=9ex&#xD;&#xA;    },&#xD;&#xA;    freccia/.style={orange, thick, -stealth}&#xD;&#xA;    ]&#xD;&#xA;    \node[inner sep=0pt] (foto) {\includegraphics[width=.11\textwidth]{tick}};&#xD;&#xA;    \node[tondo, above right=-26pt and -24.5pt of foto] (upv) {};&#xD;&#xA;    \node[tondo, below right=-20pt and -24.5pt of foto] (acc) {};&#xD;&#xA;    \node[quadro, right=10em of upv.north, anchor=north] (dupv) &#xD;&#xA;    {Click here to \emph{upvote} \\ any useful post};&#xD;&#xA;    \node[quadro, right=10em of acc.south, anchor=south] (dacc)&#xD;&#xA;    {Click here to \emph{accept} \\ &#xD;&#xA;    the best answer to your question};&#xD;&#xA;    \draw[freccia] (dacc.west) -- (acc);&#xD;&#xA;    \draw[freccia] (dupv.west) -- (upv);&#xD;&#xA;    \end{tikzpicture}&#xD;&#xA;    \end{tcolorbox}&#xD;&#xA;    \end{frame}&#xD;&#xA;    \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;P.S. = if someone can manage to share the pdf in a better way, I'll be grateful!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Gv7Io.gif" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Not too long ago I found myself feeling similarly to you, pf4d.  I have found that one of the most important pages I have read on this site is [this one](https://tex.stackexchange.com/help/whats-reputation).  This is for 2 reasons:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. **&quot;Reputation is a rough measurement of how much the community trusts you&quot;:**&#xD;&#xA;I, and many others like yourself, have been using LaTeX for ages and solving our own problems before we join this site.  However, that knowledge hitherto potentially not shared, cannot simply be trusted based on our relatively anonymous word.  We must take the time to join in the community, share our knowledge, and help others to grow as we have.  You may find, as I have, that we end up learning and growing more ourselves than we were before.  Then our reputation demonstrates our trustworthiness.&#xD;&#xA; 2. **&quot;We don’t run this site. The community does.&quot;:**&#xD;&#xA;Everyone working together, sharing information, and learning is what this site was based on, and what makes it keep going.  Join the community!  **We're happy to have you here!**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some suggested actions to take:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - Finish reading the entire [What is reputation?](https://tex.stackexchange.com/help/whats-reputation) page that I'm talking about.&#xD;&#xA; - I have found that editing questions and answers is a great way to start gaining rep, and to help others.  Some people do not speak English as a first language, and it can really help everyone to improve the spelling or grammar.&#xD;&#xA; - Answer questions when you are able.  Share that awesome knowledge that you have.&#xD;&#xA; - Engage in community discussions like this one to grow your understanding of what the goals of this community are.&#xD;&#xA; - If you have not already, read [the tour page](https://tex.stackexchange.com/tour) to get better acquainted with what you can do to help out and gain rep.  You get a badge just by reading it!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I hope this helps, and I hope that you decide to keep participating :-)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Can I just paste a link to it?][5]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; **No.**&#xD;&#xA; &gt;&#xD;&#xA; &gt; The primary goal of Stack Overflow is to build an archive of questions and answers that are useful to people and situations beyond that of the original asker. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [What is the XY problem?][6]&#xD;&#xA; &gt; The XY problem is asking about your attempted solution rather than your actual problem.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - [What can I do when getting “It does not meet our quality standards”?][7]&#xD;&#xA; &gt; All new questions are subjected to a &quot;minimum quality&quot; filter that checks for characteristics of extremely poor questions.

The general idea is to make it more useful for search engines. Since the question as was before was down-voted (and I can understand this) the new question is not a feature request but opinion on the suggested edits on the titles of questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Question (I will answer too):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do we have to edit titles of users-questions? Anf if &quot;yes&quot; when do we have and what we have to keep in mind?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Old question (feature-request)**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the site there are many too specific posts and unrelated with the title of the question like this one: [unuseful question-answer][1]. I think that it would be a nice solution to add something like [TOOSPECIFIC] or [NOTREALLY] in their title, so that when someone have already used our community will know that the &quot;google search&quot; returned something not really useful. (This will give fewer clicks too and will not allow such questions-answers to take a high google rating).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Another solution would be to gather all these kinds of questions-answers in one topic with common newcomers mistakes or something like this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/387153/why-are-my-sections-titles-smaller-than-the-subsections/387223#387223 &quot;unusefull question-answer&quot;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Of course always exists exceptions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-If the title of the question do not describe the actual problem but it is possibly a common problem and only after the answer the real problem appears, I also suggest no edit because more people will find it without knowing their mistake before. Some exceptions too. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;-In most of the other cases that we are against a question with a title that don't describe the problem I suggest to open a discussion (with a flag or something -This discussion could be used to if many of you agree... And I could copy this answer to the question to leave space for title changes on specific questions... But some other place accessible from more experienced users, I suppose would be better- ) about the suggested title and see if it really have to be changed or not. (I already have some flags of this kind that are &quot;helpful&quot; but I did not show a change).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The change has to be as efficient as possible to be found by search engines.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**If the title describes the problem but has no possibilities to be found** &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;These kind of question titles are often and the main problem is that even they use too good English (like &quot;How could I accomplish to...&quot;-&gt; No search engine will find easily the rest of the keywords).. or they missing the suggested keywords (like &quot;legend&quot; of a figure for problem with figure or &quot;width&quot; for problem on fixing the width of a table etc...)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, I would like to see somewhere suggested edits on the titles to make the questions more useful, but I recommend this edits to be done after discussion and not too easy.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is my opinion in bad English but I think you can get what I mean."

However, it is advised that you provide the community with something that will reproduce the problem in the easiest way possible. Typically this requires code that starts with `\documentclass` and ends with `\end{document}` (if using LaTeX). It will allow readers to copy-and-paste-and-compile your code and see exactly what problems you might be experiencing.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What follows below are snippets of code; **bad** references imply that it should typically not be used, as it may not be part of the problem, while **good** references make suggestions that should be used instead.

(If you should later find out that another package is complicating the situation, you can always ask another question or edit the existing question.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In most cases, even packages like `inputenc` or `fontenc` are not necessary in MWEs, even though they are essential for many non-English documents in “real” documents.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Images&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### － Bad:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{graphs/dataset17b.pdf}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[demo]{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    ....&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{graphs/dataset17b.pdf}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### ＋ Good:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{graphicx}&#xD;&#xA;    ....&#xD;&#xA;    \includegraphics{example-image}% Image from the mwe package&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Your problem includes **an image**? Does your problem show up with any image? Then use the **option `demo`** for the package `graphicx` – this way, other users who don’t have your image file won’t get an error message because of that. If you prefer an actual image that you can rotate, stretch, etc., use the **[`mwe`](http://texdoc.net/pkg/mwe) package**, which provides a number of dummy images, named e.g. `example-image`.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If your problem is specific to the size of the included image, still use `mwe`'s `example-image`, but also specify the `width` and `height` so it more readily replicates your `custom-image` dimensions.

Then keep it maximally simple; avoid formulae, italics, tables – anything that’s not essential to the problem.

And eventually someone who can answer all of your question might come along to answer all of your questions at once, and you will only have to copy and paste the code and you'll be good to go. Even though it might seem easer for you, for others this will mean more work, and it might even prevent you from getting good help quickly.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I don't think you can ask too many separate questions ([even though some automatic quality contol system might disagree with me here](https://tex.stackexchange.com/help/asking-rate-limited)) as long as they are [good questions](https://tex.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask). Interesting, clear and overall good questions benefit everyone on this site. Take some time to describe the problem you have as precisely as possible, do some research, add an [MWE](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/35864), and try to make your question useful to others, give it a good title, ....&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You also raise the point about editing questions after they have been answered. There was a similar question a while ago: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3625/35864&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I agree with the sentiment of both answers and would like to draw attention to egreg's distinction between answered and unanswered questions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is fine to edit unanswered questions with additional information. I would even go so far as to say that you could *change* the question (other people may feel differently), in that case make sure that title and tagging is still appropriate. If no one has yet invested their time to answer your question, then no harm is done (of course you can't really know if people have played around with your question a bit, then realised they couldn't help you, and consequently didn't post an answer).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have already received an answer, you should be very careful to edit your question. If you edit at all, you should make sure that your edit does not invalidate the answers you got. You should not change the essence of the question, you should not add additional requirements and desiderata (unless clarification is specifically requested). Even seemingly minor details can require drastic changes to answers; that does not mean that minor edits are absolutely *verboten*, but it might be nice touch to comment on the answers first and be prepared to be asked to ask a follow-up question. You should definitely not edit your question if you only realised after asking or after seeing the answers that you actually wanted something different ([XY-problem](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2449/35864)-like).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In the specific case you ask about you should definitely ask a new question. The first question was about `&lt;` and `&gt;` in `\ChoiceMenu`. The second question is about the layout of `\ChoiceMenu`. So while both things have to do with `\ChoiceMenu` they are so fundamentally different that a new question is warranted here." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

As has been noted in the comments we're playing around with a few changes here and there on Stack Overflow to address some of this, including [potentially creating templates on the ask page](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/357951/what-can-we-put-in-a-question-template-to-help-people-ask-better-questions) and [mentoring users](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/353845/stack-overflow-mentorship-research-project). But those are still in much of test phases.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For stuff we can accomplish now, there's a few things.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The [interstitial shown to new askers](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ask/advice) could be turned on, and further modified to cater specifically to the needs of TeX here. We've tried these on a few sites, the success seems highest in situations with a lot of dupes available for search (roughly half of closed questions here are marked duplicates), so this could be a handy way to target users when they're beginning to ask.&#xD;&#xA; - The [How To Ask](https://tex.stackexchange.com/help/how-to-ask) page (which, yes, shares the same title as the previous but is distinctly different) can also be customized to further address the needs of TeX specifically. This page gets linked to when a question is closed as Unclear or Too Broad (which 30% of closed questions here are), so this is more of a recovery for those who have already asked astray.&#xD;&#xA; - The sidebar shown on the Ask Page can also be modified, though offers less room. An example of customization can be found on sites like [Mathematica](https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/ask). &#xD;&#xA; - Customized warnings based on tags used ([example from Stack Overflow](https://i.stack.imgur.com/e2lbM.png)) can be implemented if there's particular tags that tend to draw more work attention to them.&#xD;&#xA; - The [Tour page](https://tex.stackexchange.com/tour) is already editable by moderators.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In experience, what tends to help a bit more than a required test or a long static tutorial (while cute, the current top answer's tutorial is... extremely meaty in length) is to have well-written and maintained advice kept, either in specific places like outlined above or on Meta, that can be succinctly and conveniently linked to askers in the moments most appropriate that they need them. Places like close reasons or tag warnings or sidebar notes can all be used for this manner of linking, to provide a more readable experience.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If there's still interest in pursuing this direction, we can look at implementing changes to the sections noted above. We'd need folks to band together and figure which parts they'd like to target, and what they'd like to see as the end result though, and submit it as a complete feature request.

However, I think that the image is a statement about the community and this community's attitude to visitors, including both regular members, newbies and passers-by.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I may not be explaining this objection very well and I do not expect this post to be popular. I post it because, after considerable thought, I concluded that *somebody* should say it. Unfortunately, nobody else has stepped up, so the somebody happens to be me."

If they hang around long enough (this is literally not long; we don't have any backlog in our review queues), they'll have an opportunity to discuss things via comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Perhaps as a last resort, one could ping the moderators and request they comment on the deleted post, which will then stay in their notifications inbox until it's read.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Reference:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/231668/168244&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/vIv4M.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/5mHGT.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Put your guess in an answer (not comment) to this question before 15 January, 2018 (23:59 UTC).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The entry with the closest prediction (either + or -) will win.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Please add your time as precisely as possible (up to seconds). Missing values for hours/minutes/seconds will be replaced by 0. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If two entries state the exact same date and time, the one posted first will be considered.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Unless otherwise stated, all answers are assumed to be UTC (if you answer in some other time, it would be nice if you would already include a translation into UTC). The frame of references is Earth, exposing @egreg to time dilation (putting him on a rocket to Alpha Centauri, tuning his bike...) will not change anything. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1.

Participants are disqualified if they offer a bounty specifically for @egreg - this means if someone offers a bounty to attract attention to a question and @egreg answers it, that's fine, offering a bounty to reward an existing answer from @egreg is also fine, you just cannot win this contest. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. the winner will only be announced a day after @egreg reached this reputation, just in case some serial upvoting or similar will be corrected. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 13. Don't change your voting behaviour because of this contest - don't try any serial voting for @egreg.

The URL can be received by using the `link` link below a question. There is also an [stackapps app](https://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](https://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format. The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`.

  <row Id="25633" PostHistoryTypeId="2" PostId="7559" RevisionGUID="c8796397-9f50-477d-8b7c-ecc7c15183f1" CreationDate="2018-01-29T05:08:57.680" UserId="7030" Text="It's almost February in 2018, which isn't supposed to be the proper time to cycle these, but for this year it'll be once again, so we'll be refreshing the **Community Promotion Ads** for this year now!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### What are Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Community Promotion Ads are community-vetted advertisements that will show up on the main site, in the right sidebar. The purpose of this question is the vetting process. Images of the advertisements are provided, and community voting will enable the advertisements to be shown.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we have Community Promotion Ads?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This is a method for the community to control what gets promoted to visitors on the site. For example, you might promote the following things:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - the site's twitter account&#xD;&#xA; - script packs or power tools&#xD;&#xA; - cool events or conferences&#xD;&#xA; - anything else your community would genuinely be interested in&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The goal is for future visitors to find out about *the stuff your community deems important*. This also serves as a way to promote information and resources that are *relevant to your own community's interests*, both for those already in the community and those yet to join. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Why do we reset the ads every year?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some services will maintain usefulness over the years, while other things will wane to allow for new faces to show up. Resetting the ads every year helps accommodate this, and allows old ads that have served their purpose to be cycled out for fresher ads for newer things. This helps keep the material in the ads relevant to not just the subject matter of the community, but to the current status of the community. We reset the ads once a year, every December.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The community promotion ads have no restrictions against reposting an ad from a previous cycle. If a particular service or ad is very valuable to the community and will continue to be so, it is a good idea to repost it. It may be helpful to give it a new face in the process, so as to prevent the imagery of the ad from getting stale after a year of exposure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### How does it work?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The answers you post to this question _must_ conform to the following rules, or they will be ignored. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. All answers should be in the exact form of:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;        [![Tagline to show on mouseover][1]][2]&#xD;&#xA;        &#xD;&#xA;           [1]: http://image-url&#xD;&#xA;           [2]: http://clickthrough-url &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    Please **do not add anything else to the body of the post**. If you want to discuss something, do it in the comments.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. The question must always be tagged with the magic [meta-tag:community-ads] tag. In addition to enabling the functionality of the advertisements, this tag also pre-fills the answer form with the above required form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Image requirements&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - The image that you create must be 300 x 250 pixels, or double that if high DPI.&#xD;&#xA; - Must be hosted through our standard image uploader (imgur)&#xD;&#xA; - Must be GIF or PNG&#xD;&#xA; - No animated GIFs&#xD;&#xA; - Absolute limit on file size of 150 KB&#xD;&#xA; - If the background of the image is white or partially white, there must be a 1px border (2px if high DPI) surrounding it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Score Threshold&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There is a **minimum score threshold** an answer must meet (currently **6**) before it will be shown on the main site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You can check out the ads that have met the threshold with basic click stats [here][1].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/ads/display/7559" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Mostly I'd like to read *TUGboat* as soon as possible. :-) At this time last year, I'd have said my interest in TeX history meant I was reading mainly the older issues of *TUGboat*, which are freely available. But right now there at least three articles in the [current issue](https://tug.org/TUGboat/Contents/contents38-3.html) that I'd really love to read. Similarly in the issue before that.

The URL can be received by using the `link` link below a question. There is also an [stackapps app](https://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](https://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format. The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`. The first order headlines are a little to large IMHO.&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Mostly I like to explain things (whatever little I know) and share knowledge, which I believe aligns with one of the goals mentioned.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * Other contribution to this site: For the [double-backslash issue](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/7317/community-effort-in-fixing-the-double-backslashes-issue) where StackExchange had corrupted thousands of posts, I wrote and shared a script, using which I fixed over 1000 posts and further 1000+ by others ([David Carlisle](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/users/1090/david-carlisle) and [Moriambar](https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/89949/moriambar)). I didn't receive any swag for it either. :-)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; * I'd really benefit from the TUG membership. Mostly I'd like to read *TUGboat* as soon as possible. :-) At this time last year, I'd have said my interest in TeX history meant I was reading mainly the older issues of *TUGboat*, which are freely available. But right now there at least three articles in the [current issue](https://tug.org/TUGboat/Contents/contents38-3.html) that I'd really love to read. Similarly in the issue before that.

In most cases, the content of this bibliography file is pasted inside a separated code block (when the .bib is not forgotten...). This (bad) practice creates a loss of time. Indeed, the reader have to copy and create two different files to test the code. The [filecontents](filecontents) package fixes this issue. Therefore, in my opinion, the use of filecontents should be generalized to all MWE calling a bibtex file.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; I created this question to be able to refer to it when someone forget to add the .bib file to his example or when the question is about bib* and there is no MWE at all.

So keeping the system in good health is important for new users and even for us regulars, for making information easily searchable and honour the efforts of our peers to make knowledge reachable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I, of all users here, love the silliness in our duck-related jokes, but I think sometimes we need to refrain ourselves of a too bold move.

So this is definitely something that should be used very carefully, and usually is.  But it's never a problem to have a reminder like this meta question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But the system *does* have a fairly reactive way to undo such close votes: people can vote to reopen a closed question, and provided they leave a comment explaining why, such reopening usually happens. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's also possible to drop into the chat and suggest reopening a question. One of our mods, Joseph Wright is there a lot, and is extremely responsive to mod requests.

It is too easily abused or inadvertently misused, and its effect is determined rather arbitrarily in practice, since questions are often not even tagged appropriately in the first instance. Incorrect tagging further exacerbates the problem of inadvertent misuse, by which I mean intending to vote, but actually closing unilaterally. Furthermore, I'm not convinced that a golden badge for even an appropriate tag guarantees any particular expertise in identifying duplicate *questions*, especially since people often seem to erroneously think of duplication in terms of duplicate *answers*.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Fortunately, however, actions of this kind - inadvertent or otherwise - are, as Alan Munn points out, easily reversed. Moreover, refusing to participate in this system on the grounds that it is unlike 'normal' human environments is, I think, wrong-headed. I can think of various more-or-less persuasive reasons for refusing to participate, including a judgement that the system is unfair, arbitrary, anti-democratic, non-consensual, objectionably hierarchical and supportive of anti-social, tyrannical and community-destroying behaviour. But the claim that it should be rejected because it fails to reflect 'normal' human environments is, in my opinion, untenable.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;First, SE is not a 'normal' human environment in any sense. No online environment is normal, but SE is doubly abnormal, if not triply so. It is downright weird in so many other ways that the voting system is surely a mere trifling detail. The only adequate way to reject its abnormality is to never visit. I'm not at all suggesting you do that: I'm just saying that this is the logical implication of your position. Indeed, I would prefer to view this as an *reductio ad absurdum* of that position.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Second, 'normal' is a fraught word and it isn't clear what is meant here. Statistically normal? That's no objection: if SE were friendlier and more helpful than statistically normal human environments, that would be a point in its favour and certainly no reason against. Presumably, there is rather a notion of what a human environment *ought* to be like. And the objection is that the system is unfair, unjust etc. and that human environments ought not to be this way. I think this is arguably correct. Whether or not it justifies participating in the site but not participating in this particular aspect of the system, I'm not sure.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the objection is that the voting/hammer system is anti-egalitarian, that's true, but the entire site is designed to promote anti-egalitarian aims, so it isn't clear why this particular feature should be picked out for rejection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If the objection is that the voting/hammer system is not effectively meritocratic, although this is (presumably) the intention, that is not implausible in the sense that the system in practice provides rather arbitrary powers which typically bear a somewhat tenuous relationship to pertinent expertise. However, this is equally true of many, if not most, other aspects of SE's design, so it is not clear why this feature should be singled out for rejection.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is, of course, true that paradigmatic cases of 'voting' are one-person-one-vote. However, this is not an essential feature of voting systems and is, in fact, an extremely recent innovation which is still far from perfectly realised even by the best of democratic systems. Moreover, outside of special contexts, one-person-one-vote is the exception rather than the rule. (Statistically) normal human environments are ones in which the power of individuals varies hugely. Most of these don't use voting at all, of course, but many do: when shareholders in companies vote, the rule is not one-person-one-vote and many of those most affected by their decisions may have no votes at all. And there is probably less reason to think shareholders enjoy votes in proportion to their expertise than there is to think that SE users do. This is not to say that such systems are just, but they are certainly 'normal' human environments at this point in time.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I would say that the SE environment generally, including its voting system, is, like all human environments, messy, flawed and imperfect. Parts of it reflect design purposes I don't endorse; other parts imperfectly realise purposes I do. As with all human systems, SE's users introduce additional flaws into the environment. They further frustrate the ends of the designers - both those I agree with and those I don't - and they find ways to use features for purposes which were never intended. In this sense, SE is absolutely typical of human environments - 'absolute' because true in the strongest possible sense. There are simply no exceptions because no human environment is perfectly designed, no human designer pursues entirely ideal ends and no human beings fail to frustrate both the best and worst of other humans' purposes.

(To be honest I'm less worried about closing affecting site regulars who may have potential answers). For example by dropping a specific solution hint in a comment in addition to the stock duplicate link comment that is generated by the site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As others have commented, the gold tag close privilege is a pain, it is easy to forget which tags you have the badge for, or not notice which tag the question has. I usually don't vote to cast a close vote unless there are several other votes already if I notice I have the relevant tag badges.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However if you have an answer ready and the question gets closed (it happens to us all:-) it is not really a problem as you have several options:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* If the duplicate does cover the new question, just forget it and move on, the OP has an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Add your answer in the _duplicate_ question if it is a near duplicate but the existing answers don't cover everything. (This is rather rarely done on this site but is I think the intended way that duplicates work on the network)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* Vote to open the new question. It takes fewer votes to re-open than it does to close so this normally doesn't take long to get the question re-opened, and if you `@` ping the people who closed or just drop in to chat and say &quot;I have an answer for question ..., could someone vote to re-open&quot; then I have never seen it take more than a few minutes to re-open a question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the site mechanics and the voting system are imperfect and have some strange artifacts in the way particular postings are handled but overall it works well enough so I don't think there are major problems and certainly the whole thing is sufficiently arbitrary and artificial that I think your attempt to infer human motivations and failings from the actions of users on site are not really valid."

Even if the OP had already tried that solution, at least others can benefit from finding it. This is especially useful since the original question mentioned other questions and answers without linking to them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Early close votes** I would refrain from voting to close (or flagging) as a duplicate so early, though, doubly so without input from the OP. [Timing](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/114/35864) and [&quot;premature voting&quot;](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/4045/35864) have already been [discussed](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/264/35864) [extensively](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/4622/35864) on meta. Definitely in the early stages when it is likely that the OP will respond, duplicate suggestions should not be used to suggest to moderators to evaluate the question, but should rather suggest possible solutions to the person asking the question. In this particular case it is doubtful that anyone besides the OP could evaluate the merits of a possible solution from the original version of the question. The idea here is that especially so shortly after a question has been asked the primary concern should be to help the user and solve her problem, while concerns about &quot;keeping the site clean&quot; should come second or third. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That is not to say that I never vote to close. I think it is perfectly reasonable to vote to close if the OP agrees that the question is a duplicate (assuming I agree with her) or if there has been no reaction for a while and the question is deserted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**MWEs** I would like to take up the &quot;instance upon MWEs&quot; from your title. &quot;Insistence&quot; has a slightly negative ring to my non-native ears, so please allow me to comment on that as well. It is true that many people on this site (including me) often ask for an MWE if a question lacks one. It is also true that not all questions require an MWE to be understood or answered (https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3386/35864, https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/6813/35864). Even then an MWE can be helpful to get started and test possible answers, so while I am &quot;guilty&quot; of asking for an MWE even if it may not be &quot;required&quot;, I at least try to make it clear in my comments that this is the case. On the other hand, there are many questions that I believe cannot be answered properly without seeing an MWE (https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/6255/35864). While it may be possible to guess the right solution, there are just too many variables we don't know about. MWEs are particularly helpful if the OP confuses package names or other terms in the text of their question or in the tags (e.g. &quot;I'm using `natbib`&quot; when only `biblatex`'s `natbib` compatibility mode is used, `biblatex` vs BibTeX, adding the LaTeX3 tag for no reason, ...).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In this case the OP mistakenly tagged their question with the `biblatex` tag and mentioned that package explicitly in the title and body of the question, even though they actually used the BibTeX style `ACM-Reference-Format.bst`. This only became clear after an &lt;strike&gt;MWE&lt;/strike&gt; excerpt of the preamble was posted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I appreciate that the OP had time constraints and that they may not have been able to invest time into making a truly minimal MWE, but I believe that time is better spent creating an MWE than being sent on a wild goose chase of possible solutions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Answering duplicate questions** Like David I believe that there is absolutely no harm done in answering a question even if it is indeed a duplicate. If writing an answer is quicker than finding and linking a good duplicate, then surely that can only benefit the OP. If the new answer puts a different spin on things, or shows how to implement a solution in the context of the new question then that is fine as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't really see the point in restating an answer if there is little additional value to be gained from doing so and the duplicate link is already at hand, as was the case here. If there would have been an MWE, additional value would have been gained from implementing the answer with the given MWE. I personally would only have added such an answer after the OP replied that they had problem getting the suggested answer to work, but if you think that the OP benefits from that right away, who am I to stop you?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I do object to, however, is simply copying over an answer (I'm not suggesting you did that, this is purely to explain my views). That does not really add value to the site or the OP. The OP is only one click further from the solution if you simply link to it. Even if they are really pressed for time, I cannot imagine that being a huge disadvantage. At worst, copying an existing answer is harmful because it means that *two* answers spread outdated information after a while (one seemingly being more up-to-date than the other), and it means that two answers need to updated. In case the answer has flaws or bugs, there are now two places where they can be reported.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Copying over only bits of an answer might work, but if done badly can actually combine the two disadvantages of simply linking and copying the answer. Originally https://tex.stackexchange.com/revisions/422015/1 was not really helpful without the link to the existing answer, since there was no indication whatsoever as to where the code changes needed to be made. This is worse than a simple link because the answer gets the OP's hopes up and requires cognitive load to be processed, only to then find out that the answer lies elsewhere. In that case a simple link and a short note to look there would have been more efficient.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I appreciate that this particular case has not been very kind to your approach. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - It turned out that an MWE was actually useful, since it cleared up a confusion about `biblatex` vs. BibTeX.&#xD;&#xA; - The suggested duplicate was not actually the suitable answer here.&#xD;&#xA; - The answer in the suggested duplicate was improved by updating. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If one or more of these had turned out otherwise, in hindsight your approach would have been more successful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My strategy for cases like this is to ask for clarification/an MWE, so that possible answers can be found and evaluated.&#xD;&#xA;If I know of a possible duplicate, normally I only leave a comment with a link and maybe a short explanation. I suggest you do not flag or vote to close at that point. Instead wait for a response. If the OP is happy with the duplicate, flag and vote away, if the OP agrees it might not even need to go through the normal review queue.&#xD;&#xA;If the OP has trouble getting the suggested duplicate answer to work, I'll then proceed to post an answer."

So this is definitely something that should be used very carefully, and usually is.  But it's never a problem to have a reminder like this meta question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And I think you draw a very important distinction between 'voting to close' which allows for others to weigh in on the decision and 'deciding to close', which the 'gold hammer' unfortunately allows. And as others with gold tag badges have pointed out, they don't always remember that they have that power. So I agree that gold tag badge holders should be extremely careful with their use of it, perhaps by first leaving a comment rather than simply applying the hammer. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, the system *does* have a fairly reactive way to undo such close votes: people can vote to reopen a closed question, and provided they leave a comment explaining why, such reopening usually happens. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's also possible to drop into the chat and suggest reopening a question. One of our mods, Joseph Wright is there a lot, and is extremely responsive to mod requests. And even if he's not around, the usual chat room people are happy to add reopen votes themselves.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Looking at the comment thread on the question you linked to, you seem to be saying that you don't want to participate in the reopening voting procedure, because you don't like the voting system altogether. This is of course your right, but then I think your complaint about the system doesn't quite ring true.  It's really not hard to reopen a question, if you agree to participate in the methods described above.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some related discussion on closing more generally:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/6430/2693&#xD;&#xA; - https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/4622/2693" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Don't change your voting behaviour because of this contest - don't try any serial voting for @egreg. This would not help, as @egreg is [reputation capped][1] most days anyway and serial voting is automatically reversed by the site!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;14.

The URL can be received by using the `link` link below a question. There is also an [stackapps app](https://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](https://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format. The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form. The two spaces and line break after the first line makes sure that the code starts at a new line.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Topic headers at the start of every answer post should be done using second order headlines, i.e. `## Topic`.

The Stack Exchange staff can [merge them together for you](//tex.stackexchange.com/help/user-merge).`&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Questions solved by updating ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- ``This behaviour is due to a bug in `&lt;name-of-package&gt;` which is fixed&#xD;&#xA;in the `&lt;date/version&gt;` release. Where possible, you should [update your TeX&#xD;&#xA;distribution](//tex.stackexchange.com/q/55437) to install the&#xD;&#xA;current release. If this is not possible, for example if you want to&#xD;&#xA;change only this one package or where you do not have the privileges&#xD;&#xA;to update the entire distribution, you will need to [install the&#xD;&#xA;package locally](//tex.stackexchange.com/q/1137).  This option should be considered a last resort, since for more complex packages there may be package dependencies that will make local installation more complicated and error-prone.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Possible duplicates ###&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See discussion in [Closing questions as exact duplications: 'best practice'](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2770) for notes on these messages!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- For new(ish) users whose question looks like it might get closed as a duplicate:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  `[Welcome to TeX.SX!](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1436) This question is very similar to [link].

Many packages have been significantly improved since then. I would recommend installing TeX Live directly from [TUG](//tug.org/texlive/) instead of using the Debian packages. That way you can always get current package versions by running `sudo tlmgr update --all`.``&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Upload images only over the official interface ###&#xD;&#xA;- ``Please make sure that all images are uploaded using the official Stack Exchange interface, i.e. the image icon on top of the text field (shortcut: Ctrl+G).

The URL can be received by using the `link` link below a question. There is also an [stackapps app](https://stackapps.com/q/2150/10230) ([modified by me](https://stackapps.com/a/3318/10230)) which produces this format. The include `/&lt;user id&gt;` should be removed to have the links in a neutral form.

The first one is older, and so the second one was eventually closed in favor of the first.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, based on the content of the answers, Gonzalo Medina's answer to the [closed] duplicate is much better. In it, he explains the difference between putting two figures next to each other and two subfigures next to each other.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Strictly speaking, this doesn't answer the question any better than the answers to the original, since it just provides superfluous information. But for many use cases, this information will be very helpful. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My problem was I was trying to stack three vertical subfigures side by side with another set of figures. The combination of minipages and subfloats befuddled me, until I say Gonzalo's explanation of the two different types and saw the differences between the two code snippets he put in. This allowed me to figure out what each latex command was doing and solve my problem within a few minutes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In any case, I would appeal that the best single answer to any of the &quot;Two figures&quot; questions on the site is sitting on a closed question, and perhaps it would be better if the questions were merged, a la this discussion [here][3].&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/5769/two-figures-side-by-side&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/37581/latex-figures-side-by-side&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/3470/117970" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 3.0" />

Put your guess in an answer (not comment) to this question before 15 January, 2018 (23:59 UTC).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The entry with the closest prediction (either + or -) will win.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Please add your time as precisely as possible (up to seconds). Missing values for hours/minutes/seconds will be replaced by 0. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. If two entries state the exact same date and time, the one posted first will be considered.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Unless otherwise stated, all answers are assumed to be UTC (if you answer in some other time, it would be nice if you would already include a translation into UTC). The frame of references is Earth, exposing @egreg to time dilation (putting him on a rocket to Alpha Centauri, tuning his bike...) will not change anything. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Only one answer per user.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Contestants must have been a member of TeX.SE before 26 December, 2017.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. @egreg is not allowed to participate (sorry :), but of course you can add an answer for fun!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. I am excluded as well, my answer below is just for fun.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Time lords in possession of a working Tardis are also excluded.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Participants are disqualified if they offer a bounty specifically for @egreg - this means if someone offers a bounty to attract attention to a question and @egreg answers it, that's fine, offering a bounty to reward an existing answer from @egreg is also fine, you just cannot win this contest. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. the winner will only be announced a day after @egreg reached this reputation, just in case some serial upvoting or similar will be corrected. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 13. Don't change your voting behaviour because of this contest - don't try any serial voting for @egreg. This would not help, as @egreg is [reputation capped][1] most days anyway and serial voting is automatically reversed by the site!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;14. Any legal action is precluded.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;##Prize&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The winner may wish an addition to the [tikzducks package][2]. For example a new accessories, some kind of hat, clothing, a duck based on you or your avatar ...

If incompatibilities in your document require a different approach, it would be unfortunate for people who don't suffer from these incompatibilities to be presented with a potentially more complicated workaround.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Related questions on Meta are https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3625/35864 and https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/7425/35864. An acceptable reason for editing your question mentioned there is to provide (requested) clarification. It is not entirely clear from the outset what constitutes an acceptable clarification and what is an unacceptable edit to your question. I'm inclined to say that requested clarifications are allowed more leeway than clarifications you want to add after you have got an answer. See for example [this recent question](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/428091/35864) where clarification was requested in the comments and the question was edited after the first answer was posted. In that case I'd argue that the question could not be properly answered without clarification since it was missing the crucial information which bibliography package was used and an answer depends on that information. Questions that can be answered properly, however, should not be edited to include new requirements. (I'm aware that this puts initially &quot;bad&quot; questions into a better position with regards to later edits than questions that were good from the start and thus got a good answer quickly.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So the general approach would be to ask a new question. Ideally linking back to the old question and mentioning that and why the answer there did not work for you. Of course you can always leave a comment on the answer first and ask nicely if there is a quick work-around before you ask a new question, but be prepared to be asked to ask a new question."

MWEB stands for &quot;Minimal Working Example with Bibliography&quot;.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The bibliography file contains your bibliographical references. If your question is about Bibtex/Biber/Natbib/Biblatex/..., this file may contain valuable information useful to answer it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;You should use the [`filecontents`](http://ctan.org/pkg/filecontents) environment in order to produce only one file which contains both your latex document and your bibliography file. This file should be copy-and-pasted inside a [code block](https://tex.stackexchange.com/editing-help#code). Having only one file allows us to copy and paste the example to test it in a single action.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Example of MWEB (for BibLaTeX):&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage[style=authoryear-comp]{biblatex}&#xD;&#xA;    \addbibresource{\jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;    @book{key,&#xD;&#xA;      author = {Author, A.},&#xD;&#xA;      year = {2001},&#xD;&#xA;      title = {Title},&#xD;&#xA;      publisher = {Publisher},&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \cite{key}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \printbibliography&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Example of MWEB (for BibTeX):&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;    \documentclass{article}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \usepackage{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}&#xD;&#xA;    @book{key,&#xD;&#xA;      author = {Author, A.},&#xD;&#xA;      year = {2001},&#xD;&#xA;      title = {Title},&#xD;&#xA;      publisher = {Publisher},&#xD;&#xA;    }&#xD;&#xA;    \end{filecontents}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \begin{document}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \cite{key}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \bibliographystyle{plain}&#xD;&#xA;    \bibliography{\jobname}&#xD;&#xA;    &#xD;&#xA;    \end{document}&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Some important points:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. You should use `\jobname` instead of a specific .bib file name. In this way, the `filecontents` environment will take the name of the .tex file in order to generate the related .bib file. This practice avoids the accidental overwriting of a named .bib file (people often used to call their bibliographies &quot;bibliography&quot;; a dangerous practice).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. The original `filecontents` environment could not be used&#xD;&#xA;before the `\documentclass` declaration. This environment is now allowed anywhere in the document’s preamble; it must be preceded by `\usepackage{filecontents}`, which explicitly removes the original limitation.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;1. Unlike another common thought, you shouldn't use `filecontents*` (note the star) environment. `filecontents*` does not aim to overwrite the file but is designed to remove the mention &quot;[...]generated by the ‘filecontents’ environment[...]&quot; at the top of the file. The new implementation of `filecontents` (which you use when you call the `filecontents` package) automatically overwrites the file if it exists (so that point 1 is important).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Warning&#xD;&#xA;=&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Do not paste your entire bibliography inside a `filecontents` environment! You should paste only the problematic references that will demonstrate the problem when the MWEB is processed. Keep in mind to be as minimalistic as possible.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Missing values for hours/minutes/seconds will be replaced by 0. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1.

I guess the main thing that is different is that I would not have accepted the answer that says &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If you are not sure, you should simply comment, not vote to close, and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; see where it goes.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;because IMHO it is not at all to the point. Even if I am sure, this does not mean that I am right. On a daily basis one can find on the main site disagreements between expert users. Sometimes A is right, sometimes B, and sometimes none. That's why we have open discussions here, they are supposed to help us finally finding or approaching the true or best answer. And this works only if if it is not in the hand of one single user to decide. (And in a way that is also how democracy works.) So, in short, my question is different from Ignasi's question in that [it's accepted answer](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/6551/121799) is not to the point. My question is simply how to maintain some quality control over question closures. " ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

If you have added anything to Document --&gt; Settings --&gt; LaTeX preamble that doesn't influence tables in any way, you can remove that as well. The LyX Wiki has a page about this as well: http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A key point is to make sure that your MWE is *able to reproduce the problem*. If it is an error you're wondering about, then trying to create a PDF from the MWE should generate that error. So test your MWE before adding it to a post.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Adding the MWE to a post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two options, you can either add the `.lyx` file itself, or the exported LaTeX source. If this is some LyX specific issue, then the former is better I suppose. The benefit of the latter is that more people will be able to answer, the disadvantage is that you may need to 'translate' the answer to LyX. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. **Adding the `.lyx` file.** You cannot upload files to posts on StackExchange, but as a `.lyx` file is actually just a plain text file, you can open it in a text editor, and copy-paste the lot.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Exactly how you do this depends on operating system, but typically you right click on the file, choose *Open with* and then a text editor, such as Gedit, Kate or Notepad. (Or you open the `.lyx` file from the editor.) &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. **Adding exported LaTeX source.** In LyX, do File --&gt; Export --&gt; LaTeX (pdfLaTeX). This will generate a `.tex` file in the same folder as the `.lyx` file. Open it, and copy-paste the contents into your post&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;(In both cases, add syntax highlighting by selecting the entire code block and clicking the `{}` button above the text field, or hitting &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt; + &lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## What do I do about images?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If images are required for your example, remember that we don't have access to the. There are a few things you can do instead.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Go to Document --&gt; Settings --&gt; Document class, and add `demo` to the *Custom* class options. This should replace the images with black rectangles.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Use the images from the `mwe` package. If that package is installed, you will have images called `example-image`, `example-image-a`, `example-image-b`, `example-image-c`, `example-image-16x10`, `example-image-10x16`, and a few more (see the package documentation). Each is available in several formats.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; In LyX, write just the name of one of these, without a file ending, like so:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  ![enter image description here][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; The image will not show in LyX, but it will appear in the PDF. If a specific size is required for the example, specify this.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  (It is *not* necessary to add `\usepackage{mwe}` to the preamble).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;3. Replace the image with an ERT containing e.g. `\rule{3cm}{2cm}` which creates a black rectangle that is 3cm wide and 2cm high. Modify the size if needed.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/RbC7K.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I'll let you be the judge of their strength and effectiveness.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Politeness&#xD;&#xA;It is polite to acknowledge other people when you copy or build upon their work.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Help for other people&#xD;&#xA;Revealing the origins of code may help other people with a similar problem who could for some reason (bad tagging, not the right search terms, ...) not find the original question but only the new question. The original answer may contain more details, explanations or alternative solutions and would thus be of interest. Vice versa, having the new question link to the old one will make it appear in the 'linked' section on the right and can help people find the new question from the old, which is particularly useful if the new question is a natural extension of the old one.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Code maintenance/bug reporting&#xD;&#xA;If it turns out that there are problems with the code, knowing where it came from and where to complain/report/fix the bug helps improve the code for everyone.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;### Context&#xD;&#xA;The original code and answer (and also the question) can help investigate the current problem. &#xD;&#xA;Knowing where the code comes from may help to establish context which in turn helps to understand the question better and more quickly.&#xD;&#xA;Maybe the undesired behaviour happened because the code was not copied in its entirety or modified in some way. Maybe the original answer mentions limitations or possible useful extensions of the approach.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So you can appeal to manners, altruism and egoism. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That said, I doubt people need to be convinced to disclose the source of their code.

Or one may just upset others by loading packages that are not essential and so on.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Clearly, this is only a very partial list of pros and cons, and the purpose of this question is to inquire the opinion of the community on this. (I plan not to accept an answer, rather votes should give an impression how the majority feels, and I really would like to collect all pros and cons.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

So if you think you have got something (moderately) useful to say, or if you are able to fix some problem, just do it. You may thus help someone who deserves it. I personally don't see myself educating others how to ask questions properly. This does not mean that I do not comment on questions, it just means that I do not want to force anyone to change her or his behavior (unless it is rude, offensive or in similar ways inappropriate). Of course I often *wish* that the question was clearer or the OP would have made more effort, but again I do not want to impose a certain behavior on the OP. Needless to say that I do of course not upvote such questions. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course you will find the above self-contradictory in that I try to argue that one should not impose things on others, but if others follow this, I have in a certain way imposed some behavior on them.

I simply don't think it's my job to **educate** new users about how to ask questions. And I don't really agree with the idea that withholding useful information is a good way of educating people.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Like all of us, I don't theoretically like (what seem to me) to be lazy questions of the &quot;do this for me&quot; type, and I'd sooner ignore them unless they happen to pique my interest.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But there are lots of reasons for &quot;bad questions&quot; including lack of familiarity with the very weird and complex LaTeX ecosystem, and quite often language issues as well. When you **know** how to do something difficult (whether that is driving a car, playing a musical instrument, solving an equation, writing LISP or LaTeX or finding answers on TeX.sx) it's very easy to  forget how difficult it is to learn and attribute bad faith where there is none. LaTeX is a vast (over-)complicated &quot;system&quot; built in a ramshackle way (I can install Ubuntu faster than TeXlive, or at least not much slower!). It's idiosyncratic to an almost absurd degree. Its documentation is both wonderful and, often, more or less useless to anyone who actually needs it. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So I like to be slow to assume bad faith. And we should bear in mind that the **primary** &quot;educational&quot; role this site can serve is to **teach people about TeX** and not **to teach people how to ask questions on TeX.sx**. I'd really rather put up with a few annoying jerks than put off sensitive potential users with real needs. An inexperienced person who is browsing and considering whether to ask a question will very likely not understand why what looks (to them) like a reasonable request is being treated with disdain: they may well just see the disdain.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If we behave like oracles, who will only speak when the supplicant has duly performed arcane rites to perfection---the archive meticulously searched, the MWE melodiously intoned, the log-file scrupulously offered---we will find ourselves sitting in an empty temple before a cold altar, while doctoral students write their theses in Word.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So, all that being said, nobody is obliged to answer, and if you think &quot;I can't be bothered to answer&quot; don't. But there's no need to say that this is done out of the high purpose of **educating** anyone; it's quite alright just to say &quot;I can't be bothered answering if someone can't be bothered to ask a question to a certain standard&quot;. That's up to you. And if other people **can** be bothered answering, that's OK too.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For myself, I will answer any question if, however badly it seems to be written, I am reasonably confident that I know what the answer is, and have the time to spend to answer it. I'm not going to answer if I am completely in the dark about what the questioner wants, because I may be wasting everyone's time. And I may not answer if the questioner is so confused that it's going to take endless backwards-and-forwards with comments to set things straight, when the problem is simple and dull. But otherwise: sure, I'll answer, because I think it is more conducive to the lively and widespread use of TeX (which I care about) if people with urgent and immediate problems get them solved than if we build up (yet another!) comprehensive and intractable pool of wisdom, or a set of fossilised formal conventions."

Even if the OP had already tried that solution, at least others can benefit from finding it. This is especially useful since the original question mentioned other questions and answers without linking to them.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Early close votes** I would refrain from voting to close (or flagging) as a duplicate so early, though, doubly so without input from the OP. [Timing](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/114/35864) and [&quot;premature voting&quot;](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/4045/35864) have already been [discussed](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/264/35864) [extensively](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/4622/35864) on meta. Definitely in the early stages when it is likely that the OP will respond, duplicate suggestions should not be used to suggest to moderators to evaluate the question, but should rather suggest possible solutions to the person asking the question. In this particular case it is doubtful that anyone besides the OP could evaluate the merits of a possible solution from the original version of the question. The idea here is that especially so shortly after a question has been asked the primary concern should be to help the user and solve her problem, while concerns about &quot;keeping the site clean&quot; should come second or third. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;That is not to say that I never vote to close. I think it is perfectly reasonable to vote to close if the OP agrees that the question is a duplicate (assuming I agree with her) or if there has been no reaction for a while and the question is deserted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**MWEs** I would like to take up the &quot;insistence upon MWEs&quot; from your title. &quot;Insistence&quot; has a slightly negative ring to my non-native ears, so please allow me to comment on that as well. It is true that many people on this site (including me) often ask for an MWE if a question lacks one. It is also true that not all questions require an MWE to be understood or answered (https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3386/35864, https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/6813/35864). Even then an MWE can be helpful to get started and test possible answers, so while I am &quot;guilty&quot; of asking for an MWE even if it may not be &quot;required&quot;, I at least try to make it clear in my comments that this is the case. On the other hand, there are many questions that I believe cannot be answered properly without seeing an MWE (https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/6255/35864). While it may be possible to guess the right solution, there are just too many variables we don't know about. MWEs are particularly helpful if the OP confuses package names or other terms in the text of their question or in the tags (e.g. &quot;I'm using `natbib`&quot; when only `biblatex`'s `natbib` compatibility mode is used, `biblatex` vs BibTeX, adding the LaTeX3 tag for no reason, ...).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;In this case the OP mistakenly tagged their question with the `biblatex` tag and mentioned that package explicitly in the title and body of the question, even though they actually used the BibTeX style `ACM-Reference-Format.bst`. This only became clear after an &lt;strike&gt;MWE&lt;/strike&gt; excerpt of the preamble was posted.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I appreciate that the OP had time constraints and that they may not have been able to invest time into making a truly minimal MWE, but I believe that time is better spent creating an MWE than being sent on a wild goose chase of possible solutions.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Answering duplicate questions** Like David I believe that there is absolutely no harm in answering a question even if it is indeed a duplicate. If writing an answer is quicker than finding and linking a good duplicate, then surely that can only benefit the OP. If the new answer puts a different spin on things, or shows how to implement a solution in the context of the new question then that is fine as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't really see the point in restating an answer if there is little additional value to be gained from doing so and the duplicate link is already at hand, as was the case here. If there would have been an MWE, additional value would have been gained from implementing the answer with the given MWE. I personally would only have added such an answer after the OP replied that they had problem getting the suggested answer to work, but if you think that the OP benefits from that right away, who am I to stop you?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What I do object to, however, is simply copying over an answer (I'm not suggesting you did that, this is purely to explain my views). That does not really add value to the site or the OP. The OP is only one click further from the solution if you simply link to it. Even if they are really pressed for time, I cannot imagine that being a huge disadvantage. At worst, copying an existing answer is harmful because it means that *two* answers spread outdated information after a while (one seemingly being more up-to-date than the other), and it means that two answers need to updated. In case the answer has flaws or bugs, there are now two places where they can be reported.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Copying over only bits of an answer might work, but if done badly can actually combine the two disadvantages of simply linking and copying the answer. Originally https://tex.stackexchange.com/revisions/422015/1 was not really helpful without the link to the existing answer, since there was no indication whatsoever as to where the code changes needed to be made. This is worse than a simple link because the answer gets the OP's hopes up and requires cognitive load to be processed, only to then find out that the answer lies elsewhere. In that case a simple link and a short note to look there would have been more efficient.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I appreciate that this particular case has not been very kind to your approach. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; - It turned out that an MWE was actually useful, since it cleared up a confusion about `biblatex` vs. BibTeX.&#xD;&#xA; - The suggested duplicate was not actually the suitable answer here.&#xD;&#xA; - The answer in the suggested duplicate was improved by updating. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If one or more of these had turned out otherwise, in hindsight your approach would have been more successful.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My strategy for cases like this is to ask for clarification/an MWE, so that possible answers can be found and evaluated.&#xD;&#xA;If I know of a possible duplicate, normally I only leave a comment with a link and maybe a short explanation. I suggest you do not flag or vote to close at that point. Instead wait for a response. If the OP is happy with the duplicate, flag and vote away, if the OP agrees it might not even need to go through the normal review queue.&#xD;&#xA;If the OP has trouble getting the suggested duplicate answer to work, I'll then proceed to post an answer."

TeX is one of the first sites that will be updated. As such, I'm posting the design here so you can see how the new theming will be applied to your site.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I want to acknowledge that this will be a painful change for sites that have rich, custom themes. I want to reinforce that the theme changes are a required step to deliver ongoing value to the sites with as little friction as possible. We released changes for [tag watching](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/312180/354333) (aka favorite tags) this week and will be releasing a beta of custom question list functionality soon. The only way to make sure Q&amp;A improvements are quickly available to all Q&amp;A sites is to fix our themes. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;To recap from the original post on themes:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; Every Q&amp;A site has its own theme. But there is great inequality in the level of theming that we support. A few (~10) get [Cadillac treatment](https://photo.stackexchange.com/), some (&lt;50) are more like a [Honda](https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/), while most (~100) are a [Yugo](https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/). The reality is we created a theming system that we didn't have the design resources to fully support, thus the inequity. In addition, as currently defined, our theming gets in the way of releasing new features on the sites. &#xD;&#xA;&gt;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; In order to deliver the left nav, responsive design and future improvements to all sites we've created a more standardized way to support theming. This will reduce the burden of supporting designs as we make Q&amp;A improvements. The result is that most sites will see an improvement in the level of theming that they can get. While some sites will see a reduction. All of Q&amp;A (Enterprise, Teams, etc) will standardize on this new theming scheme.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; \- https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/307862/ch-ch-ch-changes-left-nav-responsive-design-themes&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;# Next steps&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Schedule&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;- Early July: Collect and respond to feedback from this post&#xD;&#xA;- Late July: Update the site&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Feedback&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Please review the mockups and feel free to provide constructive feedback in answers below.

A missing or bad minimal example is normally a negative factor but it doesn't overrule all other factors automatically and it also doesn't have a fix weight. E.g. if a package has a bug after an update the first question normally requires an example to analyze the problem but the follow-up questions do not and so the importance of a good MWE drops. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I decide to answer despite a bad MWE I often add as small nudge some remarks like &quot;untested due to missing example&quot; or &quot;I can only guess ...&quot;,  or I remove lot of unnessary code in my answer. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I decide *not* to answer I don't care if someone else answers. Most factors and their weights for my decision are quite personal and can be different for others. But I do find it irritating if people answer and at the same time complain a lot about the missing MWE. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If I decide *not* to answer I often quit without comments (or even run away if the question is too horrible). But also quite often I leave a comment indicating what I miss. If the question is improved I reconsider, if the user ignores my comment I go away. If the user claims not to be able to make a better MWE I sometimes help to train this (important) skill.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But I don't let the user bully or persuade or &quot;educate&quot; me to answer if the question isn't improved before or some new important data emerges. I stick to my (normally sound) decision. I have seen too many people quitting support frustrated and feeling abused and pushed around because they answered too many question they actually didn't want to answer but weren't able to say &quot;NO&quot;.  &#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Yes some users might not read the yellow box, but even if only 5% of people read it, it would still make TeX.SE better.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My suggestion focuses on the same problem as discussed [here][4], but provides a different solution that could be used alongside this solution.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I don't think I'll have to convince anybody here about the usefulness of MWEs, but just in case, here's an extra reason MWEs are helpful:&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;My personal experience with making MWEs has been that while reducing the problem down to its core I already found the cause of the problem before even submitting the question. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A small improvement that could be made if this feature is added, is to scan the tags and question for &quot;bibliography&quot; or &quot;bib&quot;. In the event those are found the MWE suggested on the side could dynamically change to a MWEB. That way users needing an extra bit of help are instantly sent to the right place.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Finally if this feature gets added we need to decide on what to link to. There already exist very [extensive guides][5] on writing MWEs (and [MWEB][6]s). Maybe a concise wiki article would be better as to not present new users with a wall of text, which might deter them.

Now most of the background image is basically invisible - besides a inexplicable darker region at the top right.

I have not much experience and I can only compare two communities: physics and LaTeX. I believe that I understand physics much better than LaTeX, and, frankly better than those I had the &quot;pleasure&quot; to interact on the physics site. The upshot is that top users on this site know what they are doing, after all they include many of those who actively develop LaTeX. So I think users like egreg, David, cfr, percusse, Christian Feuersänger, Martin Scharrer Torbjørn T. and many others deserve every vote they got. Among the physics site it is hard to find a top physicist. Of course, there are some very good ones, but no leaders of the field (as far as I can see). Hence the quality of the posts is also not as good as it might be, which also gets reflected by the votes. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A more practical reason is that on this site you can very easily check if an answer works. Compile it and it either works or it doesn't. On the physics site, there are several answers that are simply wrong, but it is not as straightforward to disprove an answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Again, the upshot is that here some of the top users are leaders of the field, which is not the case at least in some of the other communities. So it is not surprising that they get more votes." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

In the mockups, the header design was squeezed into the right hand corner. This made it difficult to recognise the writing/symbols because they were very small.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This size issue has been addressed in the latest redesign, and the header image has been made bigger and placed more centrally. However, in its current form, it's actually *impossible* to recognise the writing/symbols because they have nearly all been partially cut off. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**The new site**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Compare it to the original site** - where the writing/symbols are not cut off.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The new site design has a thinner header than before. Trying to squeeze the old design into this space seems unsatisfactory because elements get cut off. So perhaps a new design is needed for the header? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that when @samcarter brought up the issue of the header being too small, the redesigns that were proposed did not involve elements being partially cut off. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, see this proposal below, which re-positions the elements and removes the dark shaded triangle. The original purpose of the dark shaded triangle was to emphasise the `{TeX}` logo, but it feels out of place once the `{TeX}` logo is no longer on top of it. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**One of the proposals by @samcarter** (see [the original discussion][1])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/7744/128068&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/bSImr.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xqKX6.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3G05J.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The background is mostly empty, but there's some stuff which might be meaningful, but is obviously of relatively little importance. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The page is trying to tell me something about or with the bright green boxes. Aside from suggesting what colour scheme I should avoid at all costs, it isn't clear what this message is. Nothing else leaps out: nothing interesting, engaging or intriguing. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The boxes a bit glarey, so the page bothers my eyes a bit, though I realise they must be very, very important to the site. Far more important than anything else. That's a bit weird and there's the glare, so I really just want to leave now or, if at all possible, sooner. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I don't know if this is the message SE wants me to find here. Perhaps it is. But that is the message the site currently sends, and that message dominates everything else, even though I don't know what it is.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But I'm gone by now, of course, to somewhere with a more comfortable feel to it which offers something intriguing, engaging or interesting to explore or read or do. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Welcome to the world wide web.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/2vdKb.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

There's always been reasonable concern about the 'community building' statements from the Powers: at best these ideas are usually poorly handled.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It's quite clear that the TeX site falls into the 'Cadillac' set of network sites: we got set up several years ago and got a lot of design support when we graduated. So any design changes were always likely to be risky from a 'site improvement' sense. At the same time, I think most users can see that the network staff do have a complex task supporting the 'back end' of all of the sites, and can accept that some change will happen. What it needs to be is _properly explained_, _proportionate_ and _actually informed by user opinion_.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The changes that have been made have been 'sold' as 'improvements for the network as a whole'. However, the reality is that there's nothing here for _us_ or I suspect many other longer-established sites. Features that are useful for the main site or one or two other _very_ large ones (SuperUser, ServerFault) don't make any positive contribution if you have under 100 questions per day.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are two fundamental problems with the changes. The first is the 'big picture': the three-column layout that uses up a lot of the screen space for 'filler'. I suspect that this makes sense if you are using a massive desktop monitor as one of a two- or three-screen setup, with your web browser maximised: in other words, the set up of a professional programmer using StackOverflow. I'm however not like that: I'm writing this on a 13&quot; laptop with my browser window about 2/3 of the screen width. The fact that this change has been made and not rolled back _quickly_ shows a total lack of _real_ engagement with users. Telling us 'this will help you' is a non-answer to the criticism: the new 'features' we are being told we'll get are _totally useless_, at least as currently described.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second aspect is the smaller changes to design. There's a suggestion that these are needed to bring the 'back end' of sites into line, but they feel _arbitrary_ and _poorly implemented_. For example, there are no obvious technical reasons why we have to loose custom graphics for voting buttons. I can think of only two reasons for this. The first is that StackOverflow wants to make the sites look more similar for advertising reasons. The second is that newer sites won't be getting custom graphics for resource reasons, so those of us who already have them loose out as 'it has to be fair'. Crucially, neither of these _is anything to do with the community on this site_.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A boycott has been raised, and some people will doubtless walk away, primarily because of the completely tone-deaf approach of the Powers That Be here. (It shows yet again that all of the 'community building' stuff is so much guff.) I'm not about to walk away, but as a community we are lucky that there is TeX beyond TeX-sx: we do have an international user group, people with server experience, _etc._ So if some sense of listening doesn't happen, I would not be surprised if a truly 'community owned' Q&amp;A were to be established.

I think you need to _roll back the changes_ (network-wide), and think about what message you are actually trying to put across. If you really believe in community building, then listen to users.

The design changes should have been made step-wise over a period, not all in one go with both layout and resources changing. The key is to _actually show you are listening_."

At the same time, I think most users can see that the network staff do have a complex task supporting the 'back end' of all of the sites, and can accept that some change will happen.

The first is the 'big picture': the three-column layout that uses up a lot of the screen space for 'filler'. I suspect that this makes sense if you are using a massive desktop monitor as one of a two- or three-screen setup, with your web browser maximised: in other words, the set up of a professional programmer using StackOverflow. I'm however not like that: I'm writing this on a 13&quot; laptop with my browser window about 2/3 of the screen width. (I've disabled the right sidebar, too, precisely because the design _doesn't work_.) The fact that this change has been made and not rolled back _quickly_ shows a total lack of _real_ engagement with users. Telling us 'this will help you' is a non-answer to the criticism: the new 'features' we are being told we'll get are _totally useless_, at least as currently described.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The second aspect is the smaller changes to design. There's a suggestion that these are needed to bring the 'back end' of sites into line, but they feel _arbitrary_ and _poorly implemented_. For example, there are no obvious technical reasons why we have to loose custom graphics for voting buttons. I can think of only two reasons for this. The first is that StackOverflow wants to make the sites look more similar for advertising reasons. The second is that newer sites won't be getting custom graphics for resource reasons, so those of us who already have them loose out as 'it has to be fair'. Crucially, neither of these _is anything to do with the community on this site_. If there are things that have to be done for management reasons, including balancing resource usage, then _tell people_: the network is full of people with a technical background, for goodness sake. (See https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/312404 for another place that things feel entirely arbitrary, from a non-TeX site.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;A boycott has been raised, and some people will doubtless walk away, primarily because of the completely tone-deaf approach of the Powers That Be here. (It shows yet again that all of the 'community building' stuff is so much guff.) I'm not about to walk away, but as a community we are lucky that there is TeX beyond TeX-sx: we do have an international user group, people with server experience, _etc._ So if some sense of listening doesn't happen, I would not be surprised if a truly 'community owned' Q&amp;A were to be established.

I think you need to _roll back the changes_ (network-wide), and think about what message you are actually trying to put across. If you really believe in community building, then listen to users. Moreover, if there are corporate reasons that some changes have to happen, then front-up and say that: we can understand 'The company has to balance its books, and this will help by ....'. The design changes should have been made step-wise over a period, not all in one go with both layout and resources changing.

In the mockups, the header design was squeezed into the right hand corner. This made it difficult to recognise the writing/symbols because they were very small.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This size issue has been addressed in the latest redesign, and the header image has been made bigger and placed more centrally. However, in its current form, it's actually *impossible* to recognise the writing/symbols because they have nearly all been partially cut off. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**The new site**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Compare it to the original site** - where the writing/symbols are not cut off.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][3]][3]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;The new site design has a thinner header than before. Trying to squeeze the old design into this space seems unsatisfactory because elements get cut off. So perhaps a new design is needed for the header? &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Note that when @samcarter brought up the issue of the header being too small, the redesigns that were proposed did not involve elements being partially cut off. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;For example, see this proposal below, which re-positions the elements and removes the dark shaded triangle. The original purpose of the dark shaded triangle was to emphasise the `{TeX}` logo, but it feels out of place once the `{TeX}` logo is no longer on top of it. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**One of the proposals by @samcarter** (see [the original discussion][1])&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][4]][4]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/7744/128068&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/bSImr.png&#xD;&#xA;  [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/xqKX6.png&#xD;&#xA;  [4]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/3G05J.png" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Some time later, (s)he changes her or his mind, and wants some additional feature. (The &quot;some time later&quot; part is important here, I am not talking about some immediate requests.) Then the user would &quot;unaccept&quot; the answer, and only accept it again if the additional request is met.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**EDIT**: [Here](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/446124/121799) is a concrete example for such a living question. (I stress that I do not want to criticize the OP, who is a rather new user and asks very interesting and clear questions. However, what I do want to achieve is that the unacceptance of egregs nice answer gets reversed, and that the additional requirements become part of a new question. Egreg's answer in its current form will be useful for many.) In this example, a question got asked, an excellent answer was given, and accepted. So far, so good. The unfortunate part is that the answer got unaccepted later and the question got extended. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There are several reasons why I don't like that.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. The original question may be of interest for other users. Modifying it later to become considerably different will erase some potentially useful information.&#xD;&#xA; 2. The user has *lower* chances that her or his new request will be addressed because updated question is not at the top of the list. Only the answerer will know immediately about this question.&#xD;&#xA; 3. I can't see a reason why someone would do that. After all, the questions are free.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;My question is how to deal with such situations. One way to go would be some sort of agreement that no one will answer such questions.

It doesn't reflect badly on you. Having too many duplicates hanging around is obviously messy and boring. But there's a good reason duplicate questions aren't deleted. They serve as useful sign posts. If you couldn't find the question when you looked, chances are other people won't either. And your new question, possibly with a clearer title, that might be easier to find, might not be *necessary* but it can point people to the answer and make it easier to find.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So don't worry too much! If a question is closed as a dupe, simply be happy to have found the answer and make sure to leave an upvote on the answer if you like it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;By the way, thanks for trying hard to do your own research - that's great - and I certainly don't want my answer to seem like it's encouraging people to just ask whatever they want without even checking to see if somebody's already asked!!"

Also, before the site title was large, now it's small, so the `{TeX}` logo is not even dominant to the page.

Additionally to what has already been mentioned in the comments, my concerns are the following:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;* The chat room is hard to find. It took me several months on this platform before I even noticed that TeX.SX has its own chat room. At the time I joined it, there were about 20 users in it and it didn't seem pretty active.&#xD;&#xA;* Especially new users tend to be really impatient when waiting for an answer. This isn't probably so much a problem on the main site, as opening new threads/questions doesn't indicate real-time responses. But in a chat room people want their answers *now*. I've seen this so many times that people aren't able to wait at least 10 minutes for someone to respond to their questions. Of course, not all people are like that, but the impatience threshold in a chat room is certainly lower. So would there even be enough people around in a TikZ-only channel that are able to respond fast enough?&#xD;&#xA;* On the other hand, users that are already more familiar with how the platform works know they cannot just post &quot;Please, how to draw this picture???&quot; questions without just getting a comment asking about what they have already tried. These people probably would only use the chat if they have an easy or quick to solve problem for which it would take too much time to prepare a full example document. However, if the channel isn't very active and an answer would take as much time as waiting for an answer on the main site, they probably still wouldn't use the chat much.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;What would be more helpful, in my opinion, is an FAQ-like thread with links and small examples to the most common graphics problems people are trying to solve. Something similar to [TeXample](http://www.texample.net/) but more concentrated and perhaps also with non-TikZ-based options. You need a simple function plot? Here's a small code snippet how to draw one using `pgfplots`. Change this line to plot another function. Follow this link if you want to customize the axes. You need to print a hierarchical tree structure? Here are your options. etc. etc.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If we had such a really concentrated overview which provides starting points to further examples and references, it could be used in the standard response comment, just like [MWE](https://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228/ive-just-been-asked-to-write-a-minimal-example-what-is-that) or [MWEB](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/4407/how-to-write-a-mweb-minimal-working-example-with-bibliography) usually are. I don't think this will reduce the number of those do-it-for-me questions, but I presume it would be more helpful to the users asking such questions than an extra chat room."

The idea is that answers should be judged by their merits and voted upon so that the best answer 'rises to the top'.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Answers should only be given in the answer space.** Whether that means that in your specific situation you should add an answer of your own is open for debate, but adding an answer to your question is definitely worse.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Do not edit your question in a way that invalidates existing answers&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you have already gotten answers, people have invested their time to solve the original question. They deemed the question interesting enough to answer and put in effort to write up something useful. Remember that question on a Q&amp;A site are supposed to be useful for other people as well, so even if it turns out the question and its answers did not help you as you initially expected, they may well help someone else. Destroying that by changing the question, invalidating the answers and forcing them to be edited seems like a bad idea. It creates confusion, because the question and answer don't seem to be about the same thing. Just ask a new question, questions are free.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course there are many edge cases here. What if you haven't gotten an answer yet? What if the original question was ambiguous or did not contain enough details? What if there was a genuine misunderstanding between question and answer? You will have to use your judgment to decide whether to edit your question in that case or to ask a new question. But I would urge you to err on the side of asking a question too much rather than invalidating existing answers.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Before you edit your question or ask a new question you can always leave a comment under the answer and ask for a few improvements. And I would urge you to do that, people are generally happy to apply small changes to their answers to accommodate your wishes. But prepare to be asked to ask a new question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See also https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/3625/35864, https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1290/35864, https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/7678/35864, https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/7425/35864&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Try to refrain from editing other people's answers significantly&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I say 'try to' and not 'do not' because editing is an essential part of the stack exchange system. Editing typos, adding links, formatting etc. is obviously OK, but putting words or code in other people's mouths is a more delicate matter. After all, their name is still attached to the post and they will get notifications about it (not the editor).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have on a few occasions edited other people's answers significantly (mostly to make sure the code works with newer versions of `biblatex`). But usually I only do that after leaving a comment asking for the change is gone unnoticed for a long time, or if the user has not been seen for long time. I also try to keep the changes as small as possible and only modernise the code as far as necessary.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;As in the point above the first step would be to leave a comment asking for the edit.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See also https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/340/35864, https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/263/35864&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Self-answers are absolutely fine&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is absolutely fine to answer your own questions. It is still fine to answer your own question if you have gotten other answers. **But you should answer the question as is**: Do not answer a different question, do not answer the question you intended to ask, but failed to. Remember: People come here to look for the answer to the question-as-asked. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If you think your answer might not be an exact answer to the question-as-asked, but you still think it can be useful, ask a new question and add a self-answer immediately.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See https://tex.stackexchange.com/help/self-answer&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;## Accept the answer you want to accept&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;It is entirely up to you to decide which answer you accept (if at all). It may feel more polite to accept someone else's answer instead of yours, but if you genuinely feel that your answer is better, by all means, accept your own answer.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;See https://tex.stackexchange.com/help/accepted-answer, https://tex.stackexchange.com/help/someone-answers, https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/2706/35864, https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/216/35864, https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/7623/35864, https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/6171/35864, https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/7739/35864&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;----------&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;All in all I would tend towards asking a new question and possibly answering it yourself in the situation you describe. But there are many nuances, so commenting on answers first and suggesting improvements is definitely worth a try.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

I guess that you implicitly ask that the rules of this site are to be changed in such a way that one has to specify a reason for why the question is to be reopened. And I almost fully agree with this request: after all, one also has to specify a reason for the closure of a question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, there is one point that one has to consider IMHO. If a question has been closed, it is always clear why this has been done (duplicate, unclear, off-topic, ...). This almost automatically implies that if one votes to reopen the question, one simply does not agree with the assertion made. That is, if I vote to reopen a question that was closed as a duplicate, this simply means that it is not a duplicate. (The question how precisely a duplicate is defined is nontrivial, but I do not think we have to delve into this here.) Therefore, the reason for reopening is automatically clear and there is no need to *enforce* that it has to be added.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, as in the case of closure, it is always nice to have some explanation for the vote.

I guess that you implicitly ask that the rules of this site are to be changed in such a way that one has to specify a reason for why the question is to be reopened. And I almost fully agree with this request: after all, one also has to specify a reason for the closure of a question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;However, there is one point that one has to consider IMHO. If a question has been closed, it is always clear why this has been done (duplicate, unclear, off-topic, ...). This almost automatically implies that if one votes to reopen the question, one simply does not agree with the assertion made. That is, if I vote to reopen a question that was closed as a duplicate, this simply means that,in my opinion, it is not a duplicate. (The question how precisely a duplicate is defined is nontrivial, but I do not think we have to delve into this here.) Therefore, the reason for reopening is automatically clear and there is no need to *enforce* that it has to be added.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Of course, as in the case of closure, it is always nice to have some explanation for the vote.

For example, I've seen questions closed as duplicates, and the OP added a comment or edit why this question is different to the one linked. In this case a vote-to-reopen makes perfect sense to me.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But consider this question: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/461223/dividing-a-page-into-several-horizontal-minipages. I can't see a reason why someone would like this question to be reopened. It also doesn't seem to have been edited, such that e.g. a simple tag edit perhaps could have triggered the reopen voting automatically (I'm not even sure if it actually can be triggered automatically).&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Or another example: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/458865/submitting-paper-to-arxiv. This question had been closed and then was marked for reopening. I voted against reopening because I couldn't see a reason for it. However, this question is open again now, so apparently other people *did* see a good reason for reopening it.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;So is there any way to get a hint why a question was marked for reopening? Should I prefer voting for reopening a question even if I don't see a good reason for it? Or is there at least a way to see who marked the question for reopening?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;*EDIT:* Because there seems to be some confusion about the intends of this question, I just want to add that the question didn't aim at asking for new features (although opening a request for adding an optional reopen reason might actually be worth a try). The aim was to ask for hints or things to consider I haven't thought of when reviewing the reopen proposals.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Reviewing close proposals feels much easier to me, because there's usually a lot of information available you can use to come to a decision, like an explicit reason, links to duplicate questions, name of the user suggesting the closure, comments that lead to the proposal etc. Reopen votes apparently lack all such useful information; they often seem somewhat arbitrary to me. Hence my question how to gather more information to come to a reasonable decision." ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Once issued, it's an immediate withdrawal from your reputation bank. At best, the bounty adds more attention to your question by bumping it to the top of the active questions list, as well as the [featured questions tab](https://tex.stackexchange.com/?tab=featured). At worst, no additional interest is shown at the end of the bounty period, leaving you with no return on your investment. Here's an excerpt on how the bounty system works in the latter case(s):&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ### What happens if there's no answer after the bounty period?&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; If after the end of the bounty period a question has no answers, no&#xD;&#xA;&gt; bounty will be awarded and the question will no longer be featured.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Part of what you're &quot;paying for&quot; with a bounty is for higher question&#xD;&#xA;&gt; visibility and increased answerer motivation.  A bounty does **not**&#xD;&#xA;&gt; guarantee a response and is **not refunded** if none are received.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; ### What happens if I feel my question is still unanswered? / What is automatic awarding?&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; [Approximately](https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/147577/168244)&#xD;&#xA;&gt; 24 hours after the end of the bounty period (once the grace period&#xD;&#xA;&gt; ends), if the bounty starter has not manually awarded the bounty, the&#xD;&#xA;&gt; bounty may be awarded automatically.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; If the author offered the bounty, and accepted an answer that was&#xD;&#xA;&gt; posted after the bounty was started, that answer is awarded the full&#xD;&#xA;&gt; bounty.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; Otherwise, all or half of the bounty is awarded to the highest-scored&#xD;&#xA;&gt; answer out of those which...&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; * ...were posted *after* the bounty was started, and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; * ...have a score of at least 2 (at the time the automatic awarding takes place), and&#xD;&#xA;&gt; * ...were not written by the bounty starter.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; If the chosen answer was accepted by the question owner, it will&#xD;&#xA;&gt; receive the full bounty. Otherwise, it will receive half the bounty.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; If two eligible answers have the same score, the older answer is&#xD;&#xA;&gt; chosen.&#xD;&#xA;&gt; &#xD;&#xA;&gt; If no answer meets any of the above two criteria, the bounty is not&#xD;&#xA;&gt; awarded to any answer, and is *not* refunded to the bounty starter.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There may still be hope! Perhaps find similar questions than the one you posted a bounty for and see who wrote answers to those or commented favourably. Ping them with a comment and see if they could spend some time answering the question.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Reference: [How does the bounty system work?](https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/16065/168244)" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

You may end up alienating new and existing users who don't want to follow this suggestion.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;An alternative proposal:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;1. Let users be free to ask do-this-for-me questions as is the current state.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;2. Use ***voting*** to establish the site behaviour. That is, if you don't think someone has done their research (as indicated by the hover text on the voting buttons), then down-vote the question. That's literally what the voting system is designed for. Down-voting is not something that one should be scared of doing. It's one of the only (anonymous) ways we have to distinguish between relevant/good content and irrelevant/bad content.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; Additionally, you can vote-to-close with a reason of the question being &quot;too broad&quot;, as there are no specifics in the question for which help is requested. New users who take advantage of this will soon learn that such behaviour is not well received here.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;This allows users who want to have fun in answering do-it-for-me question to do so. If a question is closed before they can answer, then cast a re-open vote, or ping a moderator, or start a discussion in [chat](https://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41/tex-latex-and-friends) where you'll find plenty of support to re-open something."

The attacks on me are gone after clarification by Joseph Wright that I did not vote to close any of the posts. This prompted me to re-edit this response. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**My problems with your post**&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I have two main problems with your post:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. A personalized criticism of @CarLaTeX. I do not think that this is appropriate, and below I will explain why.&#xD;&#xA; 2. An IMHO incorrect description of &quot;facts&quot;. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Why do I disagree with your criticism of CarLaTeX? IMHO you just pull things out of context. Let us recall how the dialogue starts.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][1]][1]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Things to be noted:&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. As you can see, in a comment I suggested something to which the OP responded that it worked.&#xD;&#xA; 2. My second comment was a response to @CarLaTeX's suggestion to write an answer.

(Again, I did not close the question, but I do believe that anyone seeing the comment &quot;it worked&quot; by the OP has a very legitimate reason to close the question.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&gt; The main point here is, similar to what Joseph is saying, that this is a democratic model. Even if a user closes a question by mistake (which did not even happen here), it is not the purpose of the meta site to launch personalized attacks. Rather, democracy just means that you can vote to reopen a question. As explained by Joseph, apart from the gold badge thingy (which I personally do not want to use) this site is very democratic. All voters have the same weight, and the reputation threshold to become a voter is not really huge. &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;BTW, how do you *know* that &quot;However, it was different because it was another problem due to the standalone class.&quot; is true? After all, your answer did, at the time of writing, not get accepted. On the other hand, my comment got at least a reply that &quot;it worked&quot;.

(It might however be that you *mean* to say the correct thing.) I just want to urge you not to try to advertze your personal opinion as a fact.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;And finally, yes, of course, there are are lots of miscommunications and language problems.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;[![enter image description here][2]][2]&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ciQYE.png&#xD;&#xA;  [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/eWaU2.gif" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

The first step seems to be that we agree within the TeX community on whether or not we want such an addition. Any feedback, of course also critical feedback, is welcome!&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;**Further clarification**: There are very different levels of &quot;academic honesty&quot; one may think of. In the nice answer by [Raoul Kessels](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/7943/121799), a very strict implementation is discussed. This is not exactly what I had in mind when bringing this up. I guess if one really was to go for this, we would have to amend a one-line answer by a lengthy list of references. What I had in mind is &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; 1. if there is already an answer or a comment that goes into the same direction, one may want to acknowledge this. (Sometimes it happens that one sees a question, knows how to answer it, and when one is ready with writing the code, a comment has popped up going in the same direction. I personally still write &quot;As pointed out by ..., one can do ...&quot;, as this does not imply that I learned this from the comment, but just to give feedback that the two of us independently thought about something similar.)&#xD;&#xA; 2. Of course, if one makes use of another post, which is in turn based on yet another post, I personally think one should only &quot;cite&quot; the more original one unless the later one adds something important. That's of course just my personal opinion.&#xD;&#xA; 3. If one learns something from another post rather than a manual, say, and uses this much later in an answer, I personally do not think one has to quote the post as long as this does not go beyond the manual. This does not at all mean that answers that &quot;only&quot; point to a specific place of the manual are worth less. It just means that after some long time it may not be possible to recall where one got the information from, and if it is in a manual, then this might qualify as the &quot;original&quot; source.&#xD;&#xA; 4. As for the question of enforceability: this is no different from the other things discussed in the code of conduct, and I never had &quot;enforceability&quot; in mind when writing this. As far as I understand, the code of conduct does not really get enforced. The reason why I am bringing this up is to say that the expected behavior is to give credit to sources of information. &#xD;&#xA;" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />

Many of these things are more concerned with how things are said and how they are received and perceived rather than with what is said. Academic honesty is about what is said and acknowledged in answers. I feel that it operates on a slightly different level than the focus of the current code of conduct. When the code of conduct was created, other patterns of behaviour were targeted than the factual contents of answers and their origin and background. That is not to say that I think it academic honesty can't or shouldn't be added to the code of conduct, but I believe that it explains why there is no mention of it in its present form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a technical level crediting other answers whenever one copies content is probably already required due to the license of the content. gusbrs [mentioned that in the comments under the question already](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/7940/proposal-to-add-academic-honesty-to-the-code-of-conduct#comment24636_7940). As far as I understand you remain the copyright holder of your post and would thus have the right to pursue license violations. I'm not sure if you would have a case against the individual that posted the copyright violation or only against Stack Exchange (with which the terms of service seem to agree a separate license agreement &quot;pursuant to Creative Commons licensing terms (CC-BY-SA)&quot;). But license issues are terrible enough as they are and I can understand that one would not want to evoke them in this context. (After all I would assume that most posts that *do* refer back to other people's work on this network would not meet the formal requirements of [CC BY-SA 3.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/) as clarified in https://stackoverflow.blog/2009/06/25/attribution-required/. And most answers usually don't acknowledge the MWE for the question as starting point.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If academic honesty is to be added to the code of conduct it should be clear which level of honesty we are talking about.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm pretty sure that (almost) everyone agrees that credits should be given if an integral or non-insignificant part of the answer or the idea of the answer is taken from a different post. Especially if the new post was created by copying and pasting larger blocks of code from elsewhere.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other cases are less clear cut, you may have learned a certain trick somewhere on this site (Skillmon [mentions `\if\relax\detokenize{#1}\relax` in the comments](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/7940/proposal-to-add-academic-honesty-to-the-code-of-conduct#comment24660_7940)), but might have gotten so used to it that its application becomes normal. Most answers are collections of many such idioms and tricks and so it seems nearly impossible to credit all sources of inspiration. See also Raoul Kessels' [answer](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/7943/35864). I'm not sure if the point 3 in the *further clarifications* is going to help a lot here: Naturally, if things are in a manual one could try to defend against a 'you didn't cite my answer' claim by pointing to the manual as possible source of the idea. But then why should there be no obligation to quote the manual? Would the manual of a random package really be a good source for a common or even uncommon trick if there is no further explanation of the trick and no indication that the author is the 'inventor' of the trick? What about small tricks that are not in a manual?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Re point 1 in the *further clarifications*: I don't think there should be a requirement to acknowledge previous similar work if you did not use it to come up with your idea (and especially if you were not aware of that work at the time of writing your own post). This community is generally quite good at avoiding writing multiple answers using the same methods and usually ideas from the comments are not usually 'snatched' by other people. TeX.SX is not like academia where novelty is important and a survey of related work is expected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Academic honesty could be enforced via the same channels as the rest of the code of conduct and I believe that the mere fact that it would be part of the code of conduct would already make people aware of the fact that attribution is important and not just best practice or a nice gesture.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But I fear that it might be harder to enforce than offensive, unfriendly or unwelcoming behaviour. For the latter the community must accept (and I assume has accepted) that there are no universal objective standards and that at least some of it comes down to subjectivity and feelings. If I flag a comment as offensive it is implied that I think it is offensive or could offend some people. If a moderator then agrees with my assessment the comment is removed. There can be little disagreement about 'the facts' in those situations since it is accepted that feelings play an important role here (indeed the feelings are the fact). With academic honesty, on the other hand, there could be discussions about 'the facts': If you claim that I did not behave academically honestly by not crediting a certain answer, I could try to appeal starting a discussion about whether or not the answer is relevant, about whether or not the idea could have come from somewhere else (a manual that need not be credited?), about whether I had seen the answer before I posted mine etc. That could get messy...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I didn't think a code of conduct was required at all: We are all decent &lt;strike&gt;human&lt;/strike&gt; beings after all.

I didn't think academic honesty (at least in a the sense of citing other people's work if one's answer is based on it to a significant degree) would be needed, but I accept that I am very likely wrong about that as well.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Lastly, I thought that the code of conduct was a network-wide thing, so I'm not sure how much our thoughts matter here.

Many of these things are more concerned with how things are said and how they are received and perceived rather than with what is said. Academic honesty is about what is said and acknowledged in answers. I feel that it operates on a slightly different level than the focus of the current code of conduct. When the code of conduct was created, other patterns of behaviour were targeted than the factual contents of answers and their origin and background. That is not to say that I think it academic honesty can't or shouldn't be added to the code of conduct, but I believe that it explains why there is no mention of it in its present form.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On a technical level crediting other answers whenever one copies content is probably already required due to the license of the content. gusbrs [mentioned that in the comments under the question already](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/7940/proposal-to-add-academic-honesty-to-the-code-of-conduct#comment24636_7940). As far as I understand you remain the copyright holder of your post and would thus have the right to pursue license violations. I'm not sure if you would have a case against the individual that posted the copyright violation or only against Stack Exchange (with which the terms of service seem to agree a separate license agreement &quot;pursuant to Creative Commons licensing terms (CC-BY-SA)&quot;). But license issues are terrible enough as they are and I can understand that one would not want to evoke them in this context. (After all I would assume that most posts that *do* refer back to other people's work on this network would not meet the formal requirements of [CC BY-SA 3.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/) as clarified in https://stackoverflow.blog/2009/06/25/attribution-required/. And most answers usually don't acknowledge the MWE for the question as starting point.)&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;If academic honesty is to be added to the code of conduct it should be clear which level of honesty we are talking about.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;I'm pretty sure that (almost) everyone agrees that credits should be given if an integral or non-insignificant part of the answer or the idea of the answer is taken from a different post. Especially if the new post was created by copying and pasting larger blocks of code from elsewhere.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Other cases are less clear cut, you may have learned a certain trick somewhere on this site (Skillmon [mentions `\if\relax\detokenize{#1}\relax` in the comments](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/7940/proposal-to-add-academic-honesty-to-the-code-of-conduct#comment24660_7940)), but might have gotten so used to it that its application becomes normal. Most answers are collections of many such idioms and tricks and so it seems nearly impossible to credit all sources of inspiration. See also Raoul Kessels' [answer](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/a/7943/35864). I'm not sure if the point 3 in the *further clarifications* is going to help a lot here: Naturally, if things are in a manual one could try to defend against a 'you didn't cite my answer' claim by pointing to the manual as possible source of the idea. But then why should there be no obligation to quote the manual? Would the manual of a random package really be a good source for a common or even uncommon trick if there is no further explanation of the trick and no indication that the author is the 'inventor' of the trick? What about small tricks that are not in a manual?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Re point 1 in the *further clarifications*: I don't think there should be a requirement to acknowledge previous similar work if you did not use it to come up with your idea (and especially if you were not aware of that work at the time of writing your own post). This community is generally quite good at avoiding writing multiple answers using the same methods and usually ideas from the comments are not usually 'snatched' by other people. TeX.SX is not like academia where novelty is important and a survey of related work is expected.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Academic honesty could be enforced via the same channels as the rest of the code of conduct and I believe that the mere fact that it would be part of the code of conduct would already make people aware of the fact that attribution is important and not just best practice or a nice gesture.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;But I fear that it might be harder to enforce than offensive, unfriendly or unwelcoming behaviour. For the latter the community must accept (and I assume has accepted) that there are no universal objective standards and that at least some of it comes down to subjectivity and feelings. If I flag a comment as offensive it is implied that I think it is offensive or could offend some people. If a moderator then agrees with my assessment the comment is removed. There can be little disagreement about 'the facts' in those situations since it is accepted that feelings play an important role here (indeed the feelings are the fact). With academic honesty, on the other hand, there could be discussions about 'the facts': If you claim that I did not behave academically honestly by not crediting a certain answer, I could try to appeal starting a discussion about whether or not the answer is relevant, about whether or not the idea could have come from somewhere else (a manual that need not be credited?), about whether I had seen the answer before I posted mine etc. That could get messy...&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;On the subject of enforceability (see also the comments), I believe that a code of conduct does not live exclusively through being enforced, it also shows the will of the community (or the powers that be) and their position of what is and what isn't acceptable behaviour. But the code of conduct (at least in its current form) should be enforceable if need be. So the question of enforceability is not one we can completely ignore when we aim to add something to the code of conduct.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;---&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Personally, I didn't think a code of conduct was required: We are all decent &lt;strike&gt;human&lt;/strike&gt; beings after all.

Oh yes, it happened to me very recently and only once.

Is it to make TeX a very low level language from which it is possible to create others like TikZ?&#xD;&#xA;   - Why did not you copy the C or Pascal calculation capabilities into TeX?&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;  [1]: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/384175/138900" ContentLicense="CC BY-SA 4.0" />
