I thought of adding an easter egg in the tool, something like the "duck language", so if you issue:

All quacks reserved
quack: arara [file [--dry-run] [--log] [--verbose] [--timeout N]
[--max-loops N] [--language L] | --help | --version]
-h,--help print the help quack
-L,--language <code> set the application quack
-l,--log generate a quack output
-m,--max-loops <number> set the maximum number of quacks
-n,--dry-run go through all the quacks of running a
quack, but with no actual quacks
Is there an MWE for typesetting indian scripts (like tamil / kannada). There are couple of examples for devanagari scripts. Can i use the same for other scipts.
Say I have a series of commands in my latex source \command1{blabla}, \command2{blublu}, etc...
Is there a way to obfuscate these commands, so to maintain their behaviour but hide the actual name?
I'm trying to draw a chain of arrows going under and above each other, as depicted:
The issue isn't labelling the arrows, I can easily do that, but I don't know how to get them to curl, have the arrow head in the middle (ideally, though not necessary), and have one on top of the other. Any hel...
@JosephWright yes was thinking leave \newinsert and probably do something like that as a package (could add it to the format but no need really) as there it doesn't check you have used all teh extended registers can ad that but it depends on teh exact form of an extended \newcount etc, how it flags the top of the range
@JosephWright that was my plan just have \newcount but if it hits \insc@ount just jump past 255 and carry on until you hit the new top which would need to be the float@count from the float allocater so perhaps that does have to be in the format (or at least the allocation number does)
@DavidCarlisle Reading TeX by Topic, I think we are looking at the difference between a <number>/<8-bit number> and a <15-bit number>: the latter is required by \mathchardef alone
@DavidCarlisle Certainly \mathchardef is different to other stuff
@DavidCarlisle I find a lot of the e-TeX (and later) stuff can only be understood by testing as the docs are unclear at best. See for example the buisness with widows/orphans
@JosephWright hm I guess so, I also guess the etex team didn't notice at the time:-) since you can use \count@ and it just makes errors if the number is the wrong form rather than being syntacticaly invalid, \numexpr might have been expected to do the same
@PauloCereda I recently gathered my string instruments (not all but nearly) for a group picture. Not as much as I initially thought. So there's room for more :)
@Johannes_B I don't know. I believe schriften was the first one but people started tagging with fonts, anyway. We probably need to wait until there's tag aliases. Or create chaos on the active page
@DavidCarlisle It does, but for one or two versions behind the C# spec (I think C# 2.0 or 3.0). The secret is to rely on the default API, but we know no one does that, so it's dommed. :)
@PauloCereda seing as the point of c#.net is at least in part to have a relatively sane language with full access to windows API classes, having just the language but without the windows libraries lacks something...
@Iplodman: there are lots and lots of gurus here, namely @David and @egreg. They battle every day for upvotes (they broke the 200k barrier a long time ago). :)
@PauloCereda I think it's more of a case that they're waaaaaaay smarter than the rest of us.
@PauloCereda When I make a TOC with the book class, I get an error: ! Paragraph ended before \@dottedtocline was complete.<to be read again>\par \contentsline {section}{\par. I'm afraid I don't know too much more about why it happens.
@egreg I know enough to keep me safe. We've learnt about how not to tell someone where you live. Although someone I vaguley knew once accidentally sent me their address.
