It seems like every desire anyone has in LaTeX, somebody pops up with a package to do it. But how does one discover that package? Is there an algorithm to go from a need to solution by package discovery? Given LaTeX code, I can hammer away at it, do research, and eventually modify it to do what I need. I can describe the process pretty much in English. But I don't begin to understand how people can hear a need and instantly know "you need the XYZ package." That process should be articulated so that all of us can do it. Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt June 2018 featured book: Twenty Eight Tales of Troubleshooting http://www.troubleshooters.com/28
