I am not the strongest species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. You cannot teach me anything, but you can stimulate me to think! I am interested in almost everything. Consistency, optimization, best-practice, and perfection are always my first priority in mind! Therefore by my questions and answers you will recognize me.

I prefer to offer bounties rather than collect & save reputation unused because spending money for my (sometimes your) pleasure is more meaningful than saving money in the bank and abandoning it unused.

"If you're an underdog, mentally disabled, physically disabled, if you don't fit in, if you're not as pretty as the others, you can still be a hero, read TEXBook!"

"Motivation is not enough. If you have an idiot & you motivate him, now you have a motivated idiot."

Learning (La)TeX, PSTricks, & PGF/TikZ is similar to learning how to swim or drive a car. You don’t get the full benefit by watching someone else do it. Your own fingers must get involved.

Best practices

  1. Execute pdflatex \input{filename} instead of pdflatex filename.
  2. Don't specify the file extension in \includegraphics.
  3. Divide your project into a main & smaller input files & compile the main with pdflatex.
  4. Put each code snippet 4 either drawing a diagram or making a table into a standalone input file & compile it to produce a PDF.
  5. Define global macros 4 often-used materials, put them into a separate package thereby changing the macros in one place will effect the whole document.
  6. Remove unnecessary packages.
  7. Don't mix different series, families, font size, & shapes, ESPECIALLY IN ONE SENTENCE.
  8. Never put a blank space after/before a left/right parenthesis.
  9. Apply it.
