@DavidCarlisle What does the third argument in \PackageError{pkg}{message}{something else} do? I thought it only took two...

@cfr it's the help text you get if you type h to the ? prompt at the error

@cfr eg longtable has \LT@err{longtable not in 1-column mode}\@ehc which means you get an error longtable not in 1-column mode and if you type h you get the not very helpful standard help text c which is:

\gdef\@ehc{%
  Try typing \space <return> %
  \space to proceed.\MessageBreak
  If that doesn't work, type \space X <return> \space to quit.}

@DavidCarlisle Thanks. I didn't know you could do that...

Is it possible to get the name of the command into the help text if I'm looping over the missing commands? I can do the definition fine, but I can't figure out how to do the help text. I've tried various numbers of \expandafter s before \string\xx but I'm not good with expansions...

More specifically, I have \@for \xx:=\ebgaramond@maths@dim \do {%
  \expandafter\def\xx{\PackageError{ebgaramond-maths}{No \expandafter\string\xx}{use ...}}}

But I just get a 'No \@nil' rather than 'No \leftharpoonup' or whatever.

@DavidCarlisle I've always wondered how people did proper error messages...

\@for \xx:=\ebgaramond@maths@dim \do {%
  \expandafter\edef\xx{\noexpand\PackageError{ebgaramond-maths}{No \expandafter\string\xx}{use ...}}}

@cfr ^^^ probably that (untested) time for bed, good night:-)

@DavidCarlisle Thank you! (Minimally tested...)

So it's 3AM of Sunday and here I am awake and working. Oh dear.

@PauloCereda Welcome to early morning Gang!

@HarishKumar ooh! :)

@PauloCereda Why so late awake?

@HarishKumar I think it's some sort of body reaction to a recent stress. :)

Hi

Please help with this question tex.stackexchange.com/questions/214638/…

@subhamsoni How about adding a break somewhere in your math content with \allowbreak?

@PauloCereda can you please show me with an example

@subhamsoni $\text{foo} \rightarrow\allowbreak \text{bar}$

@HarishKumar has already given an answer. Let me have a look

@PauloCereda Stress? Nooo! relax. Booosaaaa

@HarishKumar :) Quite complicated week. But I will be fine. :)

@Harish: how are things, my friend?

@PauloCereda Systems down, My son has (had) fever, cold, breathing trouble, daughter had cold,cough, and They generously donated all these to me. We are all recovering. Besides that all is well :-)

@HarishKumar Oh my! I wish you a fast recovery.

@PauloCereda For me it's routine. But with children you have to have sleepless nights. So, If it is for us, fine we take it but not for children.

@PauloCereda Am I scaring you? ;)

@HarishKumar Not at all! :) Why?

@PauloCereda I was narrating the difficulties with bringing up kids to a bachelor... So I felt asking ;)

@HarishKumar :P

@PauloCereda But those difficulties will be pleasure which one can remember for life time. As children grow, they will have their own world, the happiness a toddler gives reduces gradually. :-)

@HarishKumar Indeed! :)

@HarishKumar: by the way, are you interested in that blackboard beamer code of mine? :)

@PauloCereda Certainly. Where is it?

What the... @DavidCarlisle already reached rep cap! How come?

@HarishKumar You are welcome. :P

@HarishKumar Hold on. :)

@PauloCereda 10,9,8,..... :)

@HarishKumar Sent.

@PauloCereda one for you: tex.stackexchange.com/q/214643/11232

@PauloCereda Opening...

@PauloCereda OK where is DK cool crayon font now? Is there a free version? I have to check! :-)

I found dafont.com/dk-cool-crayon.font. Is there a better version?

@HarishKumar fontspace.com/david-kerkhoff/dk-cool-crayon :)

@HarishKumar ooh :)

I think it's the same. :) Sadly, the font lacks a lot of glyphs.

@PauloCereda Oh!. But it will do. BTW, do you have any other beamer codes in you arsenal? I have exhausted mine and now they all look old. I didn't modify default ones much though.

@HarishKumar Sadly no. :( I think @GonzaloMedina is the one who has great templates at hand. :)

@PauloCereda Is it? Then I have to nag @Gonzalo! :-)

Hi adjustbox in a table makes it so small. the text is not visible

is there an alternative for adjustbox

resizebox is throwing an error <end group>....

@PauloCereda Thanks, that looks pretty attractive.

Morning all

@JosephWright morning

@DavidCarlisle Started on the videos: Simon's talk first as it's easiest (no slides at all to add!)

good maen

Good mæn :D

@DavidCarlisle The error is indeed labeled Package pdftex.def error

@DavidCarlisle Line 409 in pdftex.def has \def\GPT@error{\@PackageError{pdftex.def}}

@egreg sure it didn't originally:-)

@egreg I can't guess why you are telling me that:-)

@DavidCarlisle It changed between version 0.04l and 0.04m (2009/08/25). I think Heiko is to blame.

@egreg of course...

@PauloCereda just how far are you from "darkest Peru" ? See ml5vid.mymovies.net/filmmedia/film/fid6823/features/avfid17187/… (see around 3:20 :-)

@DavidCarlisle From @PauloCereda's home to Lima, Perú, it's just 4200 km (2600 miles).

@egreg a short walk

@DavidCarlisle It's the last 600 miles that worry me.

@egreg as a concession to your age, you can go by motorbike

@egreg choices choices.. make some answers and try to pick up even number of ticks, or not answer, and hope no one accepts any old ones and pick up +60 tomorrow:-)

@DavidCarlisle The road passes through Cochabamba!

October 8, 2013 ^^^^^

@egreg Werner has just missed that:-)

@DavidCarlisle At least you'll overtake him tomorrow!

@egreg possibly.

@egreg Wow

@JosephWright Next target is @GonzaloMedina. No hope to get first place. :P

@egreg And here's me just trying to catch Martin up (it's taking time but I am gaining)

@JosephWright Mico is getting near 100K

@egreg Cool

Poor me, only zeroes and ones, thus only 51 reputation points. :-))

@HeikoOberdiek possibly you are deserving of 51 rep points:-)

@DavidCarlisle Probably more or less $51_{22002}$ :-)

Good maen

Did anybody ever encounter a double "First Posts" review?

@ChristianHupfer Both users had it in their queue, one of them was slower in reviewing.

Why did I get a chat message from @DavidCarlisle 4 hours ago saying 'Oh no! @cfr :)^^^^' which seems not to exist?

@cfr @DavidCarlisle writes too many messages here and the system took care of this. :P

@egreg: I see, thanks...

@egreg Is that feature documented anywhere? I find chat confusing...

@cfr: Chat here is always fun... regarding our own version of Waldorf and Statler here ;-)

Have a nice time, I have to go offline... and get up early in the morning :-(

@cfr He deleted the message, hence the oddness

@cfr sorry about that, I misread my message box and replied to the wrong person

@egreg make yourself useful and answer this one. It's one of your specialties tex.stackexchange.com/questions/214695/…

@DavidCarlisle Lo and behold!

@egreg I'm sure the OP will appreciate you not answering the question:-)

@DavidCarlisle :)

@DavidCarlisle Will you flag it as “not an answer”?

@DavidCarlisle Note that I'm in a good mood tonight. You surely can guess why.

Good evening, everybody! :)

@tohecz Did Advent start also for you?

@egreg yep, sure, I visited the sewage museum on this 1st Sunday of Advent (and I did much more, for example jammed both my middle fingers under a piano chair :-( )

@tohecz Ouch!

@egreg yeah :(

one my nail is quite injured (no bleeding tho) and I've got very badly looking capillary haematoma :( fortunately nothing seems to be broken and no bones smashed

@tohecz Quite an experience!

@egreg what do you mean now, please?

@tohecz Just joking on your disgrace. ;-)

@egreg ah ok :D
