For example:
- Pros and Cons of each
\marginpar
, sidenote, scrlayer-notecolumn and other maginalia packages (question I was thinking of answering) Fundamental differences : PSTricks, TikZ/PGF and others- Difference between ref, varioref and cleveref. Decision for a thesis
array, table, tabular, tabularx, longtable, supertabular, longtabu- bibtex vs. biber and biblatex vs. natbib
- A big list of every keyval package
I feel like these are interesting questions. I am constantly like "Argh, I need a special table, now what was the difference between tabularx and and tabulary. Maybe I should be switching to a cool new table making option..."
I think these are best when they are written in Big-list form. With only one package/method per answer. Of which only the last is.
I don't trust my instincts though for big-list questions though. As they are forbidden on almost every other site.
My questions are:
- Are these good on-topic questions?
- Is it generally agrees that for this kind of question the big-list, one answer per package is the best format?
- Is it reasonable to reask some of the existing questions (listed above) as big-list questions?
keyval
doesn't make sense: does it mean 'key-value' packages? Or all the competing, conflictingkeyval
packages? Why do you want to reask existing questions? Some of these clearly aren'tbig-list
questions e.g. the Biber/Biblatex versus BibTeX/natbib one. – cfr Dec 17 '17 at 4:09
