Comment on Forcing AucTex to properly show error messages by Marius Hofert

okay, it works, I had to use “file_line_error_style=t” so with ending _style and with underscores.

This problem is also mentioned here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7885853/emacs-latexmk-function-throws-me-into-an-empty-buffer
I followed this advice and also tried your solution but it did not work for me (with Gnu Emacs 24 on Mac OS X 10.7.3 and with AUCTeX 11.86)

HAHAHA! This will reoanste with me. The “deathtrap” is the perfect term for that situation. And you’re right, it’s scary as hell without brakes!

Comment on Writing Complex Latex Documents with Scrivener 2.1 and MultiMarkDown 3 by gerben jan

hi,
For installation of MMD3 in scrivener you should add that one needs to install the MultiMarkDown-Support package! This changes the (on mac) ~/Library/Application Support/Multimarkdown/bin

just figured this out so thought I should mention it

I’m glad you wrote to the President, Neil. The comments in his blog post are worth reading, too, and quite an embarrassment for the ACM’s position.

Exactly. Not ideal but it works. I don’t know about Windows, but I wouldn’t be surprised, since there isn’t anything Windows specific involved.

righto, thanks, that clarifies it. so i presume the \ref commands are likewise just embedded in the scrivener text so you can refer to figures and so on?

final question: do you know if mmd3.2 for windows integrates equally seamlessly with scrivener?

Yes, you type MMD syntax into Scrivener. E.g., [#ernst11re;]. Then the Scrivener “compile” menu choose MMD->Latex.

You can make tables with MMD, but since a lot of my thesis was already in Latex, I would surround the Latex syntax for the figures and tables with HTML comments, which are then translated verbatim during the compile process.

The compile command generates a .tex file, which you then must compile using pdflatex or what have you. I believe you can skip this and go straight from MMD to PDF, but I need more customization.
