Where to Post Latex Questions When Tutorial Thread is Locked

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding appropriate forums for posting LaTeX questions when the tutorial thread is locked. Users inquire about creating commutative diagrams in LaTeX, specifically referencing the need for packages that may not be available in the current environment. It is noted that while some packages like amsmath may be loaded, users may need to utilize the standard \picture environment if necessary packages are unavailable. The suggestion to contact a user named Hurkyl for further assistance is also made.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with LaTeX typesetting
  • Understanding of commutative diagrams in mathematics
  • Knowledge of LaTeX packages such as amsmath
  • Basic navigation of online forums for technical questions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to use the \picture environment in LaTeX
  • Explore the amsmath package documentation for advanced features
  • Learn about other LaTeX packages for drawing diagrams, such as TikZ
  • Investigate alternative forums for LaTeX support, such as Stack Exchange
USEFUL FOR

Anyone working with LaTeX, particularly mathematicians, educators, and students who need to create commutative diagrams and seek guidance on forum etiquette for posting questions.

So, I have a question about latex, but the thread in the tutorial section is locked. Is there another place I should post it?

Anyway, the question is, is there a nice way to do commutative diagrams with latex? I'm talking about those pictures with sets and arrows between them representing maps such that there is more than one way to get from one set to another. Thanks.

Are you trying to draw commutative diagrams here at PF?
Or for a more full-featured [tex]\LaTeX[/tex] distribution?

I think PF loads some but not all available packages. (I'm guessing that amsmath or something is available.)
If none of the packages from
http://www.google.com/search?q=commutative+diagram+latex
are loaded, you might have to resort to using the standard \picture environment.
 
I *think* I saw Hurkyl post a commutative diagram a couple of years ago, but I'm not entirely sure. Try to PM him about it.
