Which is to say that just because something is arguably more appropriate for SO shouldn't necessarily mean that it's a question that we don't want here. | |
| Apr 25, 2010 at 4:20 | comment | added | VA. | This question was asked on Stackoverflow two days ago. It gathered 53 views and one very short answer which is a dupe of the answer here. I think this proves that MO is the right place for it to (1) get the question answered and (2) disseminate the answers to the mathematicians who would benefit from them - almost none of them read Stackoverflow. | |

| Apr 22, 2010 at 17:50 | comment | added | VA. | Scott Morrison: (1) Rude? Maybe. It was rude to close my question. (2) Unhelpful? I beg to differ: now people have a chance to answer, and the solution would be VERY helpful to MANY people. (3) Am I asking others to do work for me? Isn't that what every MO question is about? I helped many people by answering their questions, why can't I get some help with what is not my area of expertise? | |
| Apr 22, 2010 at 17:08 | comment | added | Kim Morrison | Complaining about the MO thought police is rude and unhelpful. Your previous question was closed, and the reasons for closing were explained clearly. It seems they still apply here! Especially given that your question is implicitly asking others to do work for you, it might be more productive to show some effort, perhaps by linking to a question on StackOverflow you've just asked about how to deal with loading external libraries in GreaseMonkey. | |

| Apr 22, 2010 at 16:10 | comment | added | VA. | Andrew Stacy: on stackoverflow, who cares about arXiv and LaTeX typesetting? Very few people. Here? Everybody. So there are people here who may answer, and everybody would benefit from the answer. | |
| Apr 22, 2010 at 16:07 | comment | added | VA. | Kevin: (1) I did appreciate your witty observation, both times. But no, in most cases people use straightforward math. (2) Having a one-button solution would be just wonderful. The method you describe is more pain than doing mental typesetting. | |
| Apr 22, 2010 at 10:41 | comment | added | Kevin Buzzard | OK so here's a more positive comment. I'll explain how I'd do it under linux but I'm sure one can do this under windows/os x too. You see an abstract stuffed with dollar signs and you want to read it. You open up a terminal window, and you simply type the word "tex". You type "\relax" at the prompt. Now you cut and paste the stuff with dollar signs in. You type "\end". You type "xdvi texput.dvi". And you're done. | |
| Apr 22, 2010 at 10:38 | comment | added | Kevin Buzzard | I said this before, and I'll say it again: take a look at the actual TeX in those abstracts. More often than not, it won't TeX! It often says things like "let \$E\$ be an elliptic curve and let \$\E\$ be an integral model of E. By \cite{BSD} we know that the..." . TeX will choke on \E and \cite{BSD}, because they rely on definitions made in the body of the MS, which the web page doesn't have access to. See my next comment for something more positive though. | |
| Apr 22, 2010 at 7:42 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey | @Kevin: wander over to the nForum and see if you like what you see there. I'm voting to close. Whilst this may well be an interesting question, and even of interest to research mathematicians, I think that it is not appropriate for MO. I recommend that you ask it on stackoverflow! | |
| Apr 22, 2010 at 5:38 | comment | added | Cam McLeman | It seems that all of these questions were answered in the previous topic, along with suggestions of where to repost the question more appropriately. Did you give those a shot? | |
| Apr 22, 2010 at 5:26 | comment | added | Theo Johnson-Freyd | I'm pretty sure the answer to (the denotative meaning of) each of your questions is "yes". What you actually mean to ask, of course, is for someone here to actually write such a script. I recommend that you revise your question to make it ask what you clearly mean to ask. I don't care for indirect speech acts. | |

| Apr 22, 2010 at 2:33 | comment | added | Kevin H. Lin | An addon/plugin/script would be so great! For instance, I've wanted to start a math blog for a while now, but one of the main reasons I haven't is because the only blog service that supports LaTeX seems to be Wordpress, but I don't like Wordpress and I can't stand typing "latex" after all of my dollar signs --- it's just too annoying for me. | |
