MWE:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{enumitem} \newcommand{\bulletlabel}{\raisebox{0.2ex}{\small$\bullet$}}  \begin{document}  \begin{enumerate}[label=\bulletlabel, topsep=0pt, leftmargin=0.3in, rightmargin=0.3in]     \item One     \item Two \end{enumerate}  \end{document}   As you can see, I've parameterised my enumerate environment to get the formatting I want. I use this set of parameters fairly often in my document, together with 2 other sets of parameters.  Is there a quick way for me to replicate this without having to copy/paste or type it out every time? I don't want to redefine the default enumerate environment, as there are 2 other sets of parameters that I need to handle as well. I'm just looking for a quick way to do it.  I tried this:  \newcommand{\paramone}{label=\bulletlabel, topsep=0pt, leftmargin=0.3in, rightmargin=0.3in}   But when I use:  \begin{enumerate}[\paramone]   It fails because it processes it as one parameter rather than 4.  How can I achieve this?
I'm using the following syntax for my code snippets  \begin{minipage}{\textwidth} \begin{lstlisting}[caption=&lt;something&gt;, label=&lt;something&gt;] The REST Endpoint URL     is http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/  To request the flickr.test.echo service,     invoke like this:    http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/       ?method=flickr.test.echo&amp;name=value  By default, REST requests will send a REST response. \end{lstlisting} \end{minipage}   and I would like to have  \begin{code}[&lt;caption&gt;, &lt;label&gt;] ... code ... \end{code}   which would behave exactly the same.   So I tried this thing but it won't compile and I can't spot the problem  \newenvironment{code}[2][]%     {         \minipage{\textwidth}          \lstset{             basicstyle=\ttfamily,             breaklines=true,             captionpos=b,             frame=bottomline,             extendedchars=true         }         \begin{lstlisting}[caption=#1, label=#2]     }     {         \end{lstlisting}         \endminipage     }   Error when running pdflatex  !

How to safely replace a not-yet-failed disk in a Linux RAID5 array? How to export data files using specific number format Is there a way to set the gnome-terminal title from within the terminal itself without having to right click on the tab. Something like:  active-terminal --title "Foo"   There was a related question previously with an answer that almost lets you do this:  but that doesn't set the gnome-terminal tab title only the window title. How can I propose a new site? I have an idea or subject that should have a Q&amp;A, and want to propose a new site. How can I do this?  Related: Can someone please verify my proof?     Is the collection $\tau_\infty = \{U:X-U$ is infinite or empty or all of $X\}$ a topology on $X$?   No. Let $X = \mathbb{R}$.  Clearly, $\{x\} \in \tau_\infty$ for all $x \in X$.  Set $\displaystyle{B = \cup_{x \neq 0} \{x\}}$. Clearly, $X - B = \{0\}$, but $\{0\} \notin \tau_\infty$. Since $\tau_\infty$ is not closed under arbitrary unions, it does not define a topology on $X$. How do I evaluate these fork() calls with the && and || operators in C? I'm having an issue with the following piece of (G)AWK script:  do {     ... } while (system("sleep 10"))   My intention is to break the loop when the user presses ^C during the sleep, but it's not working.  I believe the problem is that Bash exits with 0 when interrupted with ^C, at least when it's executed by AWK's system():  $ awk 'BEGIN { print "\n" system("sleep 2") }' (let the sleep complete) 0      $ awk 'BEGIN { print "\n" system("sleep 2") }' ^C 0   Why is it so?   Is this a bug in Bash or in (G)AWK?  Is there a simple solution that doesn't involve complicated Bash-specific syntax like trap?  The best I could come up with is this:  do {     ... } while (42 == system("sleep 10 &amp;&amp; exit 42"))   which still looks like a kludge to me. Get the real width and height of an image with JavaScript? (in Safari/Chrome) I'm trying to determine if there is a best practice for typesetting the "evaluated at" bar for derivatives. The three possibilities I'm thinking of are shown in the code excerpt below:  \begin{gather*} 5 + \frac{df}{dt} \Bigr\rvert_{t = 0} \\ 5 + \frac{df}{dt} \biggr\rvert_{t = 0} \\ 5 + \left. \frac{df}{dt} \right\rvert_{t = 0} \\ \end{gather*}     The \Bigr option doesn't quite reach the top and bottom of the fraction. The \biggr option overshoots the top and bottom of the fraction by a little bit. And the \left...\right option has the same height as the \biggr option, but it introduces a little extra space between the + and the fraction. I'm having trouble deciding between these options. Is there a best practice for typesetting this? P-adic expansion construction Why is \[ ... \] preferable to $$ ... $$? \documentclass{article} \usepackage{expl3} \ExplSyntaxOn \begin{document} \tl_to_str:n { testing _ things }  \par  \tl_set:Nn \l_tmpa_tl { testing _ things } \tl_to_str:N \l_tmpa_tl \end{document}   gives a strange result (testing ̇things).  How can I get testing_things?  I basically want verbatim content (with line breaking). Been trying to this line to parse for a good 20mins, but all attempts have failed:  \beta = $-$0.84, t = $-$2.09, P = 0.04   Could anyone tell me why I'm getting a Missing $ inserted error here? I have to show that the ring $\mathbb{Z}[X]/(X^2-1)$ is not isomorphic with $\mathbb{Z}\times \mathbb{Z}$.    I know that $(\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z})^*=\{(\pm1,\pm1)\}$, so I thought I should be looking for elements which have inverses in $\mathbb{Z}[X]/(X^2-1)$ and hopefully find more or less than 4. But I didnt succeed, so I need hints. Thanks. Hi! I'm a beginner learner and I'd like to know how to snap these three objects. I'd like to snap the two cylinders with the different faces of the cube. The short one on the left and the highest cylinder on the top of the cube. I'd like to have the center of the cylinder aligned with the center of the cube (the base of the cylinder inscribed into the face of the cube)  I'm sorry for bad explanation I hope someone can help me  Thanks!   I add a screenshoot in which you can see what I have to do   Thanks again if someone can help me with this! Using fontspec with Luatex it is possible to create a fake slant and use that as italic should no italics be around:  \setmainfont[ AutoFakeSlant=0.15 ]             {FontName}   However, also if an italic version exist this faked slant will be used both for \itshape and \slshape. How can I keep using the shipped italic font defined by the ItalicFont= parameter to \setmainfont but use fake slant for \slshape? How to prove that a continuous function, homotopic to the constant map $f:S^1\to S^1$  (a) has a fixed point and that (b) has a point $x$, such that $f$ maps $x$ to its antipodal point $-x$? I believe that the set of all $\mathbb{R\to R}$ continuous functions is $\mathfrak c$, the . However, I read in the book &quot;Metric spaces&quot; by Ó Searcóid that set of all $[0, 1]\to\mathbb{R}$ continuous functions is greater than $\mathfrak c$:  &quot;It is demonstrated in many textbooks that $\mathbb{Q}$ is countable, that $\mathbb{R}$ is uncountable, that every non-degenerate interval is uncountable, that the collection of continuous functions deﬁned on  $[0,1]$ is of a greater cardinality than $\mathbb{R}$, and that there are sets of greater and greater cardinality.&quot;  I understand that (via composition with the continuous function $\tan$ or $\arctan$) these sets of continuous functions have the same cardinality. Therefore, which claim is correct, and how do I prove this? I recently installed Ubuntu 17.10, and when I tried to set my keyboard layout to change with alt+shift, I hit a . There is  which works, but then it creates an unwanted behaviour on Firefox (perhaps other programs as well).   After setting alt+shift through gnome-tweak-tool as the combination to change language, whenever this combination is pressed within Firefox, it triggers a toggle that Firefox uses to show/hide the Menu Bar (with File/Edit/View etc.), and 'focus' is taken away from wherever the cursor was.   It's very frustrating, because one has to go and click again at the cursor.  The only solution I found was to permanently enable Menu Bar in Firefox because then alt doesn't do anything and I can use it to change languages. But I don't want to have Menu Bar on top always.  I hope you can understand what I'm trying to explain.  Any thoughts? Getting "'file' is different from the same file on the system" when I attempt to update through synaptic
