is it possible in latex to write a word within some text either by introducing a white figure and then wrapping the text around it or some other maybe more clever way. I want something like this, where I have tried using simple spacing to write "LA":  kesf kng k nrkeh ekrhgek elkrgn rkngel gnekgk bwngenw alsmf kanskgna  sakng ksng-   a kang nknga kakg me fw aklgn rgn ngsk  ks skgnd-  sl   nsgk dn ldgk nskgds l dskg nlsrgn l-  rkgngrn           nrlnr nrkn rllsngrgj  lfdnggnel rng-      ek   krgn kl   rkkf lrnmgl hfhj hj ksgks lrnglkrg negk lke kenler lkerng ke nrkle ngrle l   I believe this question is similar to the following .  however, in my case I am not interested in just any shape, but letters only. And I would like to be able to write any word of any length. Is there any tool out there that can do this task automatically instead of one having to define the length/shape of every letter.
I'd like to write something in the shape of this "coat of arms".    I'd like to have the text filling the coat but with a hole roughly in the shape of the sword. I know there is the \shapepar command to create paragraph shapes so I tried to , a patch for XFig that allows you to draw the shape you want but it never worked on my computer (Mac OS X). I also know I can build the shape by myself with shapepar syntax but it seems really complicated and I don't think I'll make a lot of shapes. So if anybody has ShapePatch working on his computer or knows shapepar syntax very well, could he give me the code?
How do I display a decimal value to 2 decimal places? Filter data.frame rows by a logical condition I'm looking for ways to speed up the combat in my D&amp;D 3.5 game. It seems that turns - both player and non-player - simply take too long. I have thought about giving everyone a 30 second timer, but I'm afraid that might inhibit their ability to come up with strategy and tactics. Question on the stability of the solar system One of the pertinent questions about many body systems that causes me much wonder is why the solar system is so stable for billions of years. I came across the idea of "resonance" and albeit an useful concept, it hardly explains the long stability of the solar system. Normally an N body problem with inverse square mutual interaction is an example of a chaotic system. Is there any real progress about this stability issue? Prove that the function : $f(x) = x$ when $x$ is rational and $f(x) = 1 - x$ when $x$ is irrational is continuous at $x = \frac{1}{2}$  To prove the continuity it is necessary to prove that for every $\epsilon$ there exists a $\delta$ such that $|f(x) - f(\frac{1}{2})| &lt; \epsilon$ whenever $|x -c| &lt; \delta$ $- (1)$ Now if we choose $a  € (\frac{1}{2} - \delta, \frac{1}{2} + \delta)$ and also $a $ is rational and choose $\epsilon &lt; |a - \frac{1}{2}|$ then condition in $(1)$ is not satisfied.

Then I decided to remove and did the traditional apt-get purge and autoremove but it seems elements of kubuntu are still there. For example interface elements, scrollbars, bootscreen etc are still there.  Is there any method I can completely remove without installing a fresh copy of ubuntu?

Why are mathematical proofs that rely on computers controversial? There are many theorems in mathematics that have been proved with the assistance of computers, take the famous  for example. Such proofs are often controversial among some mathematicians. Why is it so?  I my opinion, shifting from manual proofs to computer-assisted proofs is a giant leap forward for mathematics. Other fields of science rely on it heavily. Physics experiments are simulated in computers. Chemical reactions are simulated in supercomputers. Even evolution can be simulated in an advanced enough computer. All of this can help us understand these phenomena better.   But why are mathematicians so reluctant? My equation is not showing big bracket and not showing in next line \begin{equation} g(f,t) = \begin{cases}          \bigl{b^Nt^N^-^1e^2^\pi^b^t cos(2\pi ft),  \text{t\geq 0;}\\          0 \text{ $ otherwise $}          \end{cases} \end{equation} How to tell which row number is clicked in a table? I have 256 colors working just fine in konsole,. I thought I'd give tmux a try because, unlike screen, it seems to support vi mode.  However I find that the colors of my prompt show up and this is most likely because I have a 256 color mode prompt. What do I need to do to get tmux to recognize all 256 colors? Is there a (Unix) shell script to format JSON in human-readable form?  Basically, I want it to transform the following:  { "foo": "lorem", "bar": "ipsum" }   ... into something like this:  {     "foo": "lorem",     "bar": "ipsum" } How to use a variable for a key in a JavaScript object literal? Returning an unevaluated expression with values substituted in In an Integral Domain is it true that $\gcd(ac,ab) = a\gcd(c,b)$? Is there an alternative to the word "coincidence" to describe when two say the same word spontaneously? Is there a word to describe a scenario where two people having a conversation utter the same word/phrase together, simultaneously, and unconsciously? Something else than just a coincidence. Conditional Linq Queries We're working on a Log Viewer. The use will have the option to filter by user, severity, etc. In the Sql days I'd add to the query string, but I want to do it with Linq.
