Here's a quick question: suppose your opponent attacks with an 8/8 with Trample, and you block with a 5/5 with Defender, Indestructible, and Hexproof. You also have Hexproof.  Trample is an ability, and Hexproof won't allow you to be targeted by abilities or spells. How would one assign damage then?  Or is Hexproof just not important at all by this point?
Note: this is intended to be a canonical question about whether or not a spell or ability targets so there are multiple sub-questions.   Can Hexproof or Shroud save my creature from ? What about a  that was cast for it's Overload cost? Does shroud prevent me from using the Monstrosity ability of a creature, or from giving it more counters with Proliferate? Can I cast an Aura Enchantment on one of my creatures with Shroud, or an opponent's creature with Hexproof? Or can I use the Equip ability to attach an equipment to one of my creatures with Shroud? Will 's ability trigger when my opponent plays ? And will I have to sacrifice my  if my opponent casts ? Will Shroud or Hexproof prevent an opponent from choosing me with 's ability? Will Hexproof keep one of my creatures from being affected by ? If an Aura or Equipment is attached to a creature with Hexproof, does the Hexproof protect the attached permanent?
Avoid large spaces between text and equations I use the options  \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.25} \setlength{\parskip}{0pt} \setlength{\parindent}{0pt}    in the preamble of my document and most of the time the document looks like intended. Once in a while though, especially when I use multiline-equations, I get huge spaces right before and after the equation and the surrounding text, for example:    Is there any way I can avoid that without removing the \parskip option? If $f \in \operatorname{Hol}(D)$, $f(\frac{1}{2}) + f(-\frac{1}{2}) = 0$, prove that $|f(0)| \leq \frac{1}{4}$ I would like to convert a large LaTeX project (i.e. spanning multiple files) into plain text. The purpose is generation of statistics, so representing mathematics is not an issue. In fact, all mathematics is ideally ignored.  I have found  but could not get it to run. It seems unfinished, but is exactly what I am looking for otherwise. Accepted way to abbreviate cities that have "Saint" in their name My first question here, so I'm not sure if this OT or not, so please bare with me.  Background: I don't live in US. I'm working with some data that I'm pulling from . Sometimes, I'm getting a city name as St. John and sometimes as Saint Ann.   So my question is, is there an accepted way on how people write a US city names which starts with Saint or is this just some random thing (or just specific to AdWords maybe)?  I'm asking this, because if for example I'll get both St. John and Saint John in the same file, should I consider them the same or should I be suspicious? I want to install Open JDK or Oracle JDK to my machine but I got an error during installation.

How to allow page break inside a float environment? I'm using new float enviroment to show some examples in my document. This  enviroment contains tcolorbox which provides a gray background. The main text in the enviroment is a mixture of plain text and code blocks (in lstlisting env). Each float should have it's own caption and label.  In style file:  \usepackage{newfloat} \DeclareFloatingEnvironment[name={Example}]{suppfigure}   In the main document:  \begin{suppfigure}[!h] \caption{Some code example}\label{suppfigure1} \begin{tcolorbox}[arc=0mm, left=1pt, right = 1pt, boxrule=0mm,colback = {shadow-gray}]   Text  \begin{lstlisting}  int i = 0;  \end{lstlisting}  Some more text  \begin{lstlisting}  String.Format("{0,10:0.0}", -123.4567);   \end{lstlisting}  \end{tcolorbox}  \end{suppfigure}   How can I allow page break inside the suppfigure to extend my example to multiple pages? The question is raised from the viewpoint of a foreign language learner.  -ed is known to be added to a verb to mean past tense or past participle, but some phrases like four-legged animals, winged birds, are in the form of noun+-ed, why is it so? What is the logic behind such a structure? I'm just trying to review basic terminal commands. Having said that, how do I create a text file using the terminal only? Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over $\mathbb{C}$, then the Neron-Severi group $NS(X)$ of $X$ is defined to be the Picard group of $X$ modulo algebraically equivalent relations.   On the other hand, by the exponential sequence, there is a first Chern class map  $$c_1: {\rm Pic}(X) \to H^2(X, \mathbb{Z}).$$ It is claimed that the image of $c_1$ coincides with $NS(X)$.   I want to know why this is true. Any suggestion or reference is greatly welcome! Will the Lee 100mm filter holder work with a Samyang 14mm autofocus lens?

Apostrophe difference (Ones' and Two's Complement) Avoid trailing zeroes in printf() I'm including \usepackage{hyperref} so that each instance of \ref (as well as each page number in the index and the table of contents) automatically links to that page.

Managed metadata columns in document information panel with multiple content types Remove Meta Privilege for MSE (only) What I am asking here is to please remove the privilege to participate in Meta for MSE.  This privilege is literally useless. You can't really have a meta site for a meta site. There's no Meta.Meta.SE here or any other SE site out there: Meta.SE covers for every site in SE, including itself.     When users find out that you don't really get anything new, it's kinda sad for those people. There is no use for it except just to be there and fill up the space between the first and third privilege. Privileges should be shown only if you earn something new, and this privilege to participate in the meta isn't new because it's where you report problems in all of SE, including Meta.SE.    So please remove the privilege to participate in meta just for Meta.SE.    This is not a dupe as this is a feature-request to remove it, not support on why it is there. Changing Login Logo Why did skilled wizards use He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named? Pursuant to , it's plausible that the typical witch or wizard would use 'He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named' (if they assume Taboo Spell is intact after death of Voldemort). But, why would the Aurors and those in the Ministry of Magic (who had first rate protection) also use it? Even Snape (the Half-Blood Prince) hesitated to say 'Voldemort', and he was under the protection of Dumbledore, Dumbledore being the only wizard Voldemort ever feared.  What was the point of the Death Eaters being scared to say 'Voldemort' when, ostensibly, Voldemort wasn't even alive? Yes, it's true that some believed Voldemort would return, but, at the time, it was just that -- a belief. Were people scared that the Death Eaters might give a list of all those who used Voldemort's name to Voldemort upon his return? What does the fourth number in the release version mean?
