As I learned recently there are some types of expressions in Mathematica which are automatically parsed by the FrontEnd. For example if we evaluate HoldComplete[Rotate[Style[expr, Red], 0.5]] we se...

I often wish to see the internal representation of Mathematica's graphical objects not in the FullForm but in much more readable InputForm having the ability to select parts of the code by double-c...

I have learned recently that Export in Mathematica uses by default the "Printout" screen style environment rather than "Working" when exporting to PDF. It sometimes results in FontSize fluctuations...

TLDR: How do I get CapsLock to translate to "ShortNameDelimiter" in Mma 7? I like pretty text in my mma notebooks, and often define functions as f[\[Alpha]_] =... so as to match the exact equat...

Recent versions of Mathematica provide the option of having a unique $Context for each cell group, via: Evaluation > Notebook's Default Context > Unique to Each Cell Group This is an appealing ...

I remember that someone from WRI stated in the official newsgroup that Mathematica 7 still has a working old-fashioned Mathematica Help Browser from Mathematica 5 for compatibility purposes. But I ...

I still know nothing on usage of such command-line options of MathKernel as -lmverbose -run cmd -password "pw" -pwfile "file" How are they working and what they are needed for? Are there other ...

I just noticed that if you have this in MMA (8.0.1 / win7-64): and you copy it to SO (just ctrl-c ctrl-v), you get this: (maxY - minY)/stepy/(maxX - minX)/stepx which is not mathematically ...

Is there a way to check programmatically whether the FrontEnd considers evaluation still running? Or even better: is there a way to check whether the FrontEnd has some pending inputs to be sent to ...

By default pressing Alt+. or calling Abort[] within the evaluation causes abort of the currently evaluating input. But when working in the FrontEnd we usually send to the kernel a sequence of input...
