Recent edit at LaTeX
Hi, I have recently been (rather slowly) trying to go through and add enclose=none to all of the source tags in the LaTeX book to restore it to its previous form after some software changes here. I notice you undid this at LaTeX/Absolute Beginners‎ and I thought we should discuss so we can aim for a common goal. Thenub314 (talk) 21:26, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I think that when the LaTeX commands are on lines by themselves they look better when they are on gray background, it differentiates them from examples better. The commands inside the text on the other hand should use just the coloring. Though I think the Talk:LaTeX is better place to discuss this, especially when I put my opinions about this issue there. :) Tomato86 (talk) 21:59, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Mathematics
I was attempting to restart the Mathematics Project here at wikibooks. The aim is simply to provide some community for the editors interested in improving the mathematics coverage here. Give a place to discuss issues with wikibooks (such as "hey this won't TeX correctly" or "how do I make a nice picture"); or actual mathematics content. I know lots of different disciplines are interested in LaTeX, but I thought you might like to know about the project anyways. Thenub314 (talk) 13:29, 2 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I studied maths, and as you already know I'm not alien to LaTeX. I know how to use the tools mentioned on the project page: Inkscape and gnuplot. All in all, I use Linux as my primary OS so usually end up using open tools either way. I think I could help a bit with specific questions up to university level math, LaTeX and some tools. Though it's rather unlikely I'll start fixing general math pages, sorry, don't have this much time. Tomato86 (talk) 00:14, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
