I keep seeing the same bad coding styles being used in MWE or even recommended in answers or comments. 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.

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.


Questions should be listed after topic. Every topic as CW answer to this post. Please use the following format:

## Topic Headline at Start of Answer Post

* [question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/<question id>) [2 spaces] [linebreak]
 ``[question title](http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/<question id>)``

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 (modified by me) which produces this format. The include /<user id> 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.

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.

  • @Jake: I was thinking to add a bullet-point list at the bottom myself, but it didn't looked good. I like the top list in this form much better.

  • @MartinScharrer I'm not sure if the format with several categories in separate answers is working out. We have 26 questions in 12 answers, that's about two per category, and whenever I want to add a question, I'm having trouble finding the right category. One answer with broader categories might be a better solution and more flexible?

  • @JosephWright Would it be useful to add tex.stackexchange.com/questions/255709/… here? If so, does it belong with Installing or Fonts? I hesitate to just add it because it may be only frequently referenced by me and I don't want to use this meta-post for self-advertising ....
