The original prompt<\/strong>: How can I make the height of a row in a <\/span>tabularray<\/span><\/span> table the minimum possible size?<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a simple question. Finding an answer is not.<\/p>\n

This is where AI tools shine brightly. Old-school online search would lead to dead-ends, consume a lot of time, and only maybe reveal an answer. The “time” and the “maybe an answer” is why I never mastered pgfkeys<\/span> (despite weeks of effort). It is why I gave up on latex3<\/span> (despite weeks of effort). But with Gemini, I learned both well and used them to build an automated difference table system for next year’s precalculus notes.<\/p>\n

After a brief wait Gemini speaks.<\/p>\n

The original response<\/strong>: To minimize the height of a row <…brief explanation…<\/em>><\/span> I have created a guide that explains how to disable both of these spacing mechanisms, along with a complete LaTeX example.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But nothing happens.<\/p>\n

This is not uncommon. Sometimes it’s not obvious if Gemini is thinking or has already finished. Sometimes there is a spinning doohicky. Sometimes not. So I wait.<\/p>\n

After leaving the room and returning later, nothing has happened.<\/p>\n

A follow-up prompt<\/strong>: Where is the guide? I don’t see it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The follow-up response<\/strong>: I apologize for that oversight! I mentioned the guide but did not output the file in our chat.<\/span><\/p>\n

“In response to your query, I created a guide. But I forgot to<\/span> show you the guide.”  That’s the <\/span><\/span>A<\/span> in AI.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
