Hi list,
I came across this old thread as I was trying to use \xmlpos{#1} to
"dynamically" create references such as \item[mystep:\xmlpos{#1}] to be
referenced when other elements of this node are parsed at a later point.
In fact, it seems that \xmlpos{#1} returns duplicate values. This might

I had the same question a couple of days ago and I found a thread on the

Hope this helps,

This thread about downsampling external images on the fly is a really helpful

I was wondering if it was possible to downscale also raster images embedded in

Dear list,

How can I get the realpagenumber instead of the userpagenumber for the register

I completely agree, Hans, that such specifications are often made without a
second thought on them. And Max is probably right that they originated from the

Hi Max,
Thank you so much for your help and pointing me to the documents; always a lot

I'm afraid that including the hyphen width doesn't solve the issue yet. It
seems to move the problem to other parts of the text. My guess is that one
could equivalently have said

remainder to a new line where the intended breakpoint again starts another one.
Unfortunately, I don't know what to change; I know a bit about "glyph" and

Wow, that works like a charm! Thank you, Max!
It's also a very insightful example of how to use and inject Lua code in the

Many thanks again!

Hi,
Is there a more convenient way to get the current reference label (stably) from

I know this is quite an old thread, but here is a minimal parser (\units with
an “s”) that wraps around \digits and \unit to produce an acceptable output.
As I frequently need to write ranges (or measures of uncertainty), I find it
convenient to able to type
\units{4.0 to 5.0 centi meter}

Hi,
As Wolfgang has figured out, zero padding in \digits only works for trailing
(and omitted) zeroes when immediately preceded by the decimal separator.
It would be nice if this would work even if there is a number preceding, so that
\digits{3.1=}x\crlf
\digits{3.==}x\crlf
\digits{3.14}x
