If anybody wonders, still doing some janitorial work, improving answers so i don't have to give the same comment over and over and over again but can simply »mark as duplicate«.
About 60 less unanswered questions after last nights event.
 
@Johannes_B Cool
@DavidCarlisle Progress being made on l3build for LaTeX2e :-)
 
11:15 AM
@JosephWright Hi, Joseph, how are ouy? I'm unusually glad glad to see you here, as I have a siunitx question which I don't think is worth opening.
 
@Brent.Longborough Fire away
 
@JosephWright \SI{$2^20$}{\micro\second} -- good, bad, or just ugly. How would you do it?
 
@Brent.Longborough Pick the correct units for this scale!
 
@JosephWright I need it exactly like that, I'm explaining where \SI{1.048576}{\second} comes from ...
@JosephWright That is, I need to say in some way 2^20 µsec, unscaled. If that's outside of \SI's design objectives, that's OK, but I like to use \SI beacuse of the consistency
 
@Brent.Longborough If you must, then \SI[parse-numbers = false]{2^{20}}{\us} or similar
 
11:23 AM
OK, thanks a lot. I hope youre not too upset by my hacking... ("if you must")
 
@Brent.Longborough people who get upset if their code is abused don't write latex packages.
@JosephWright All we'll need then is some new code to build...
 
@DavidCarlisle "Abuse" is a bit harsh, isn't it? I'd accept "misuse"...
@JosephWright I'd welcome a frank opinion; do you think I shouldn't use \SI for this?
 
@Brent.Longborough abuse/misuse/use all same in latex land:-)
 
@DavidCarlisle Ahh, misuse \equiv (OCD \cross abuse)? LOL
I just dont want the (conceptual) [dontdothat] tag on my question
 
11:44 AM
I like it when things work out: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/153959/…
 
@Brent.Longborough Will you make the UK-TUG meeting? I forget
 
It's the 29th, isn't it? I should be back from Turkey on 22nd, so yes.
 
@Brent.Longborough Yes, 29th
 
If somebody understands the following (especially the very last comment), would you mind explaining it to me?

Q: How to add a flyleaf code?

domiI'm searching for a flyleaf code. I mean a "cover sheet" or a "first page" in this style which I could insert into my classicthesis doctoral thesis. I'm writing my thesis with Classicthesis. This is a mwe : \documentclass[12pt,a4paper,footinclude=true,twoside,headinclude=true]{scrbook} \XeTeXin...

 
@JosephWright Yes, as definitely as age-related entropy permits...
 
12:25 PM
@Brent.Longborough Then you can help me with my talk. :)
 
 
1 hour later…
1:29 PM
@Johannes_B we, at first, need someone influential to say: classicthesis, fncychap, ... are not really good choices
 
@tohecz I don't care if they use classicthesis as long as they are aware what classicthesis is (please see my latest comment to that question).
 
@Johannes_B I saw that one, yeah. Well, my previous post here was just a bit of cynism :D
 
@tohecz I know. We need some awareness delivery system.
 
@PauloCereda Aimeudeus, fantasiado de bunda, chego à festa de perus!
 
1:44 PM
@JosephWright Just discovered biblatex-phys. It is really handy! Thank you for writing it.
 
@HenriMenke No problem
 
@JosephWright I didn't get to work alphabetic labels though... Do you have a hint?
 
@HenriMenke Physics styles like chemistry ones are numerical :-)
@HenriMenke Take a look at the IEEE styles I've done: the core one is numerical but there's also a 'alpha' option
 
@JosephWright Thanks. I will take a look.
 
@Johannes_B The comments of OP mean I'm happy with a few little tricks classicthesis offers but I'm trying to hack a home-brewed version of it with proper code included. And question asks how can I do such and such so that I can put it in classicthesis style file.
I think it is a proper request considering what classicthesis is.
 
1:49 PM
@percusse Reminds me of
12
Q: Is it OK to propose package modifications or improvements?

Alessandro CuttinThe title says it all: I wanted to share my desire to see one day the features of cleveref and varioref all in one package. However, this is not a real question. Is it OK to post it on TeX.SE? Or -better- how can it be phrased so that it's not marked as "not a real question"?

 
@Johannes_B I think this is way less ambitious.
I mean the classicthesis one.
I like when people rollup theie sleeves to fix in their own thinking. It's not OP's fault if classicthesis does more than a few things wrong.
Who knows maybe OP will grow up to a mature package alternative.
 
@percusse but classicthesis does nothing to the title. It is solely a KOMA-Script issue. And not even this, using a titlepage it's back to basic LaTeX.
And in that matter a duplicate of the linked question.
 
@Johannes_B You can help OP to retag but you don't need to scare away just because classicthesis is mentioned. S/He is trying to get a working basic LaTeX code and will modify classicthesis.sty file.
I don't think anybody is defending classicthesis anyways
 
@percusse I am not trying to scare him away :-)
@percusse The matter at hand is custmising a titlepage. He said he wants something like the linked pdf in the question.
 
@Johannes_B It is the perception of OP. Instead of an answer, he is getting lectured on classicthesis, in my experience here on TeX.SX, that leads to yeah, yeah, whatever type of response from many askers and leads to further aggravation on both sides .
 
1:56 PM
@percusse Any hint on how to go on?
 
Just saying... :)
@Johannes_B You can make an answer if you know what to do (I'm not really into page design choices) and just make a warning that there is trouble ahead coming faster. I'm pretty sure after another hurdle or two he will dump classicthesis and make a proper one.
 
@percusse I am still confused on the purpose of the question.
 
@Johannes_B Same here.
 
@percusse Your first remark on this and reading the comments again, it sounds like he wants to extend classicthesis.
 
@Johannes_B Yes that part I got too. But on which property is my confusion
 
2:00 PM
@percusse Well, titlepages. But they are classicthesis independant
 
Is it the This page is intentionally left blank thing?
 
@percusse What do you mean?
btw: I have to get a tshirt saying this. Troubles me every time i read this sentence.
 
@Johannes_B Usually, mostly American books have a blank page before the start of the book and that line is printed on them. Is it what a flyleaf is?
 
@percusse According to some googling, yep, it seems to be.
 
An intentionally blank page is a page that is devoid of content, and may be unexpected. Such pages may serve purposes ranging from place-holding to space-filling and content separation. Sometimes, these pages carry a notice such as, "This page [is] intentionally left blank." Such notices typically appear in printed works, such as legal documents, manuals and exam papers, in which the reader might otherwise suspect that the blank pages are due to a printing error and where missing pages might have serious consequences. == Uses for intentionally blank pages == === Print media === Intentio...
 
2:03 PM
Book design is the art of incorporating the content, style, format, design, and sequence of the various components of a book into a coherent whole. In the words of Jan Tschichold, book design, "though largely forgotten today, methods and rules upon which it is impossible to improve, have been developed over centuries. To produce perfect books, these rules have to be brought back to life and applied." Richard Hendel describes book design as "an arcane subject", and refers to the need for a context to understand what that means. == Book structure == === Front matter === Front matter, or p...
 
@percusse Well they would normally be entirely blank
 
@JosephWright That's what I thought but some legal people taught me that it is not allowed in some binded case documents.
 
@percusse That might be true for some very restricted areas (exam papers are a common one) but really the whole point of fly leaves is to give space for notes by the book owner
 
@JosephWright I guess so. I don't know anyone who uses those pages for notes though :)
Everybody switches to \marginparmode.
 
@percusse No, they come down to us from the tradition of hand-written books, of course
 
2:10 PM
@PauloCereda I agree. Sweet result.
 
@JosephWright @percusse The thing troubling me are the very first sentences of the question:
I'm searching for a flyleaf code. I mean a "cover sheet" or a "first page"
 
@Johannes_B Sounds like a \cleardoublepage request.
 
@percusse Sounds like a titlepage request to me :-)
 
@Johannes_B The floor is yours :)
 
@percusse I'll write an answer showing KOMAs standard titlepage, how to in principal do an own titlepage and how to get a blank page there. This should be a good start for further refinement.
But first, to the coffee maker.
 
2:17 PM
@Johannes_B :) I also have to make sense of some Microsoft download microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8442
I would like to buy a 10TB HDD and install everypossible Visual C/C++/VB/Fortran/Java/#$%@#$% language distro possible so that I don't need to deal with this stuff ever again.
 
@percusse df -h tells me i have 4.7 GB free space on my home partition. You can have some ;-)
 
@Johannes_B as usual :)
Wirth's law is a computing adage made popular by Niklaus Wirth in 1995. It states that or, colloquially, "software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster". Computer hardware has become faster over time, and some of that development is quantified by Moore's law; Wirth's law points out that this does not imply that work is actually getting done faster. Wirth attributed the saying to Martin Reiser, who, in the preface to his book on the Oberon System, wrote: "The hope is that the progress in hardware will cure all software ills. However, a critical observer may observe that software manages...
 
@percusse Didn't know that law. But it seems to be right.
My answers seem to get longer with every revision as well.
The title page of a book, thesis or other written work is the page at or near the front which displays its title. This page contains only the title in a fashion similar to the rest of the text within the book. == Title pages in books == The title page is one of the most important parts of the "front matter" or "preliminaries" of a book, as the data on it and its verso (together known as the "title leaf") are used to establish the "title proper and usually, though not necessarily, the statement of responsibility and the data relating to publication". This determines the way the book is cited in...
@percusse Please read the second sentence, maybe that is the magical one?
 
@Johannes_B Aah now I get it. Yes that is probably the magical definition.
 
2:38 PM
@percusse Once, I almost got fired from IBM for suggesting they change it ... to "This page accidentally printed on"
4
 
@Brent.Longborough And you got away by saying you actually meant this? :P
In music, an accidental is a note whose pitch (or pitch class) is not a member of the scale or mode indicated by the most recently applied key signature. In musical notation, the sharp (♯), flat (♭), and natural (♮) symbols, among others, are used to mark such notes, and those symbols may themselves be called accidentals. In the measure (bar) in which it appears, an accidental sign raises or lowers the immediately following note (and any repetition of it in the bar) from its normal pitch, overriding sharps or flats (or their absence) in the key signature. A note is usually raised or lowered by...
 
@Brent.Longborough If it's a Canadian publisher, there's a \vfill\emph{I am sorry.} too. :)
 
@percusse No, but I couldn't convince the marketing people that it was a paradox, though.
@PauloCereda Aah, Canada!
 
@JosephWright that's only a side effect in many cases :) But I have to confess, in one conference, the book of abstracts was quite thin itself, but was spiral-binded with a handful of empty pages, and that was helpful. But mostly, the empty pages are there because it might be cheaper to print x16 pages
 
@Brent.Longborough My friend used This page is left blank due to peer pressure.
 
2:48 PM
@percusse that's a good one :D
@percusse he should put this there:
 
@percusse Sorry, that has to be This page is not left blank solely due to peer pressure.
 
@Brent.Longborough well, that makes more sense :D
and hello @Brent, how are you? :)
 
@Brent.Longborough We want readers to continue reading not get choked on nested negations, in particular the implied ones:)
 
@tohecz I'm fine, thanks, and you? I've been a bit busy the past few months. I'm in the middle of writing a huge technical manual, and it's really exercising all my LaTeX pontes asinorum
In Istanbul, city of the world's desire
 
@Brent.Longborough cool. Well, I'm now in Paris, everything's fine here, just I'm quite busy with all the stuff I have to do, I should do, I want to do and I shouldn't do :D
 
2:54 PM
@percusse I think the answer is: This page has no useful content, due to the exigencies of good typography
 
@Brent.Longborough So it's a bad time for me to ask you to help me write the new arara manual? :)
 
@tohecz My 3rd favourite city
 
Somebody mentioned the pons asinorum?
 
@Brent.Longborough With no 1 and 2 being ... ?
 
@egreg Wow, Latin sense. :)
 
2:56 PM
@PauloCereda I'm awfully sorry, but yes, a very bad time.
 
@Brent.Longborough This page has no content, if you're upset about it, you shouldn't be
 
@Brent.Longborough Vade retro, pé de pato, mangalô três vezes. :)
 
@egreg LaTeX has many of those
@tohecz Rio de Janeiro and Istanbul
 
@Brent.Longborough :) Well, I don't know many cities, but I live half and half in the two nicest cities in Europe, so ... :)
 
@egreg Enrico, it just occurred to me that you should host a show on twit.tv, probably called TWIM, or This Week In Mathematics
@tohecz Prague?
 
2:58 PM
@Brent.Longborough ooh yes please!
 
@Brent.Longborough yep, of course :)
 
@Brent.Longborough Next week I'll tell my students the story of l'Hôpital and Johann Bernoulli
 
@tohecz I've never been there, but friends who have say it is truly wonderful. PLus, if that weren't already enough, there's a marvellous Brazilian restaurant.
 
@Brent.Longborough Some days ago, I entertained them with the mathematical proof that all trains are on schedule.
 
@Brent.Longborough WHERE?
 
3:00 PM
@egreg I guess (apart from you, of course) my favourite mathematician is Srinivsa Ramanujan
 
and yeah, once I'm back at spring, you should come and visit Prague :)
 
@tohecz Don't know. I can find out, but it'll take about three weeks (!?)
 
@Brent.Longborough Sorry, but he's down in my own list. My favorite is Archimedes with Gauß at almost the same level
 
@Brent.Longborough well, maybe @Paulo's got an idea? :)
 
@egreg I have a soft spot for Gödel; I love seeing people put the cat among the pigeons.
@tohecz There are two. Here's one expats.cz/prague/czech/brazilian-restaurants/…
I dunno if this is trhe one they went to
 
3:07 PM
@Brent.Longborough well, Ambiente is a well-known small network of restos in Prague, but I didn't know they have Brazillian ones, too :)
 
Friends, arkadaşlar, amigos, amici, přátelé; sorry, but I have to get back to writing. Bye
 
@Brent.Longborough bye, and good luck
 
@Brent.Longborough Have a great time, Brent!
 
@PauloCereda btw, it turns out that the operator of the Brazillian restoraunt Brent has mentioned operates the best beer place in Prague, too :)
 
@tohecz :)
 
3:25 PM
@tohecz I had some pork knee in a huge restaurant. Sometimes I still crave for it. IT was really nice but I don't remember the name of the place
 
@percusse you mean in Prague? Well, the pork knee is a popular part of Czech cuisine :)
 
@tohecz Yes
The restaurant was famous but my memory is very bad at selecting useful information to remember.
@PauloCereda There is a close vote on pumpkin question...
 
@percusse U Vejvodů?
 
@percusse :(
 
@egreg Bingo!
 
3:30 PM
@egreg wow! I'm impressed
 
@egreg Picture 34 right table :)
 
I have to confess that I've never been in that one, but it's very close to our university ceremony hall, so maybe I can suggest it for the family lunch in that occasion :)
 
@tohecz I ate pork knee there and it was good. And it's indeed quite a famous place.
 
@egreg well, I know the name and the area well (rather during the day than at night tho)
 
@tohecz Not difficult to know that area!
 
3:40 PM
@egreg well, Skořepka is just around the corner ;) But so is the Bethlehem chapel and St Martin in wall.
 
@tohecz Exactly.
 
and my former supervisor's office was in the building across the street where a scientist hangs on the ledge at the 4th floor
 
@tohecz Not to mention U Zlatého Tygra not far away.
 
@egreg that's unknown to me...
btw, any plans to visit Prague next year? :)
 
@tohecz Maybe.
 
3:48 PM
@egreg cool :)

Hi @ChristianHupfer
 
@Johannes_B: Hello ... I am grading a math class test on probability :D
 
@ChristianHupfer You are teaching math as well?
 
@Johannes_B: Yes... As long I am not allowed to teach LateX in schools only, I use Math as backup ;-)
 
@ChristianHupfer Is there a LaTeX course at your school?
 
@Johannes_B: No, of course not... but I will probably do training courses in spring for Math teachers
 
5:06 PM
@ChristianHupfer Try to establish one, please. Or just put together a LaTeX-club
 
@Johannes_B: If there is place in the 'lesson pool', I am not allowed to do one, except of offering it my unlimited spare time ;-)
 
@ChristianHupfer Aren't clubs always after hours?
 
@Johannes_B Use article ;-)
 
@Johannes_B: Yes, but restricted anyway
 
@egreg Sounds about right
 
5:20 PM
@egreg We can ask questions for him to answer in the next UK-TUG meeting. :)
 
Where is post of the guy having found a typo in package lipsum?
There seems to be one in blindtext as well, or have french rules changed since i had my last french lesson?
Qu'est que c'est?\blindtext@endsentence
 
@Johannes_B That's quite wrong, yeah :) Very likely someone French wasn't able to write the sentence down correctly ;)
After all, why would anybody write Qu'est-ce que c'est when it can be keskse?
 
@tohecz Looking at the pdflatex output, the questionmark is still directly after the last letter. With XeLaTeX it's fine.
 
@Johannes_B what?
 
@tohecz Didn't even notice that Qu'est-ce que is wrong as well, but now that you mentioned it ...
 
5:33 PM
@Johannes_B MWE?
 
ah, the french spaces before punctuation
@Johannes_B well, it's correct ... according to the Frenchies
 
@egreg I just noticed preparing an answer. Do you really want have a closer look at it?
 
@Johannes_B Why not?
 
@egreg Ok, one second.

@tohecz Seems to be, yep. But after all, it's just blindtext.
 
\def\blindtext@endsentence{.\xspace} is wrong to begin with. Anyway, you have to use the KeepShorthandsActive option to babel.

@subhamsoni: Now listen to us: do not write the sentence broken in several lines, we don't like them. Write just one sentence per line, not a huge amount of partial sentences. Try to pay attention to what is being done instead of blindly asking for code. And never, never, put pressure on having questions answered in this chatroom. People volunteer to do this.
 
Oh my :D
 
@ChristianHupfer 'allo! :)
 
6:17 PM
@PauloCereda Alltough i agree with you, my stomach hurts from laughing. This sincere tone next to this little ducky. :-)
 
@PauloCereda what
@PauloCereda do
@PauloCereda you
@PauloCereda mean
@PauloCereda ?
 
@Johannes_B LOL
@DavidCarlisle: you sir are a national treasure. :)
 
@PauloCereda I'm used to reading sentences vertically, spend too long looking at \tracingall
 
@DavidCarlisle It took me a while to understand the importance of a reasonable number of columns. :)
 
@PauloCereda: Hello Paulo
 
6:20 PM
@ChristianHupfer Hello my dear Christian. :)
I read something that reminded me of you. :) Something like:
Making food.
Pros: food.
Cons: making it.
@Johannes: I'm quite impressed you didn't notice the \par jungle in that gentleman's code.
:)
 
@PauloCereda To be honest, i didn't look at the code.
 
@Johannes_B I just took a peek. \par's everywhere. Lotsa them. :)
 
@PauloCereda I like blank lines. I can move backwards and forwards using { and }.
 
@Johannes_B ooh! :)
 
@PauloCereda: Oh my ... which kind of greeting :D
 
6:25 PM
@PauloCereda I bet emacs misses that feature.
 
@Johannes_B wait for @David. :)
 
@Johannes_B: emacs misses nothing :-P
 
@ChristianHupfer It misses a good editor.
:)
 
@PauloCereda I guess you can use lisp to use a coffee maker to move the cursor to the next paragraph.
 
@PauloCereda: The editor is the one typing on the keyboard :D
 
6:27 PM
@Christian: I have mixed feelings right now after my duck having burst the kindness bubble into some sort of wrath. :)
@ChristianHupfer :)
@Johannes_B LOL
It's quite amusing, when I wrote my macro expander, I almost got a Lisp-like powered expression language. :P
 
@PauloCereda I should work on my next answer.
 
@Johannes_B ooh points!
 
\title{On ducks and their love of dissertations}
 
@Johannes_B ooooh
 
@PauloCereda Still a working title.
 
6:29 PM
@Johannes_B Gotta love this title. :)
 
@PauloCereda: If you have some votes left : I'll take them ... well, upvotes, not downvotes of course, before you squander them for egreg or David :D
 
@ChristianHupfer Too late, but I can work on your answers later on. :) Added to my list. :)
 
@PauloCereda if only you'd used auctex to build your command pipelines, then you would have got a lisp powered expression language
 
@PauloCereda: It was a joke :D I don't beg for upvotes.
 
@DavidCarlisle :)
@ChristianHupfer Too late. :)
 
6:34 PM
How I missed TeX.SX during the last week ... I'm not only physically/mentally at home again, digitally too :D
 
@ChristianHupfer Welcome back. :)
 
@PauloCereda: Thanks
 
@Christian: Now go back and read all messages in this chatroom in order to keep updated with the latest news. :)
 
@PauloCereda: I know the messages
@PauloCereda: 1. David and egreg argue about something. 2. Somebody claims vim is better than emacs (a lie, I know) and 3. approx. 5000 questions on TikZ in chat ... that's the short version, most probably :D
 
6:43 PM
I am off for a while... see you later on
 
Can anyone tell me why we have to have this many runtime libraries?
same for every lang, and this is the least number of them to make things work. If I install the framework it goes nuts.
 
@percusse keeps things sort of working after the new versions are incompatible with existing code:-)
 
@DavidCarlisle But then why not every successor not include those patches of the previous one?
 
@percusse not the way in Seattle:-)
 
And never forget the macro \NowButAfterBeginDocument
 
6:55 PM
anyone interested in helping us out?

Q: Do we need MathJax?

DanuOn other SE sites like Physics, Math, MathOverflow, we have the possibility to write equations in what is called 'MathJax'. This allows you to write equations the way you would write them in LaTeX, which will also get them rendered in the same way as they would be in a pdf generated by LaTeX code...

 
@DavidCarlisle crazy...
@IceBoy we can't see when it is private beta
 
@percusse oh, sorry :(
 
@IceBoy you can copy paste the text if you wish
 
@percusse I have the feeling the the titlepage/flyleaf answer will be verbose
verbose
 
@Johannes_B bring it on

This allows you to write equations the way you would write them in LaTeX, which will also get them rendered in the same way as they would be in a pdf generated by LaTeX code. This is incredibly useful when one wants to write clear mathematics.

Since a large part of our site is focused on the history of mathematics, I think we should get MathJax as well, since you run into ugly and unreadable texts otherwise (e.g. my recent answer about complex numbers, although it's n
 
@IceBoy How can we help?
 
suggestions?
