Hi! A while ago I saw a question which involved highlighting a part of a ToC in beamer. The highlighting was done by changing the opacity of a part of the beamer frame. I can't find the questoin anymore so I'm trying my luck here: does anybody recall such an example? Involving opacity changes for the part of the slide highlighted by \only<number>?
@PauloCereda Like my first travel from Chicago to Cedar Rapids on one of those small airplanes (25 places or so): there was a very large guy squeezed on his seat who appeared to be suffering for the whole flight. :)
you upload something to elsevier and later get an email that basically says "this is not how we want it. fix it." and you're alone trying to figure out how exactly you are to prepare the files. that's just useless and rude, nothing else.
What I have uploaded compiles now, but it's just everything thrown together. Fine for me, they'll manually create an abomination of that anyway. What's really annoying is that every time I "fix" something, they come up with yet another error I have apparently made, and after 3 attempts they start to ask for the opposite of what they wanted before
Stupid question maybe, but I've never figured out what engine they use. What engine do they use? Also, do they use the vanilla Charter package or some specialised thingy?
just guessing: They use something specialized and tell the authors that they use a standard tex engine, just to generate maximum confusion. There's a lot of evidence for that.
@henry pdftex in DVI-mode I think. I've only submitted one paper to an Elsevier journal, and that didn't take PDF-files at least, had to use EPS. Don't remember what the log said though. With Charter, are you thinking of the font? At least some of their journals use Gulliver (gerardunger.com/fontstore/store-gulliver.html)
@eiterorm Probably at some point in the code they forgot \begingroup...\endgroup so the last fill color setting becomes persistent, arrows.meta is still not so mature.
Probably easiest question ever: how can I make sure \insertframenumber starts at 1 on the second slide rather than the first? \stepcounter{framenumber}{-1} doesnt work :(
so while there's a 50Hz noise, it's obviously not the cause for the microphone being so bad
@percusse but it's not at a normal level at which I use it, at the level on this recording, any slightest sound makes a peak (with the second microphone, not necessarily with the first one)
@tohecz I don't think that is the reason, the second one is clearly eating up precision. Just cover the first mic with a thicker thing don't know the english for that.
And try again. You do have an AC noise though no matter what.
@tohecz That would the easiest indeed. But I think there is a compatibility problem too. Maybe it's your computer trying to be smart. But better return it
@tohecz nowhere much, @PauloCereda didn't even get out of the country:-)
@Christoph @henry last time I was there (as in inside the building, some years back) they didn't use tex at all, and had an in house tex-to-sgml convertor which took author supplied files and converted them, on a good day, if the markup is reasonable
@DavidCarlisle: What was that link? -- Sorry, I am organizing a local meeting and getting mails from people missing the subscription deadline and now all want to be on the list :-(
@subhamsoni If I may, try focusing more on the content itself than appearance. IMHO the simpler the better. Most companies usually process CV's automatically, extracting data from PDF, so layout doesn't even matter (they might even make the process worse). Content must be your top priority, not the layout.
@subhamsoni: In Germany there is a 'rule': The more refined the layout/graphics, the less knowledge/hard facts are behind it -- people try to hide behind visual appeal ;-)
@subhamsoni: I would say so, not too much colours, just a photograph of you, and straight layouting, at most two different font sizes (one for heading, one for inline) and just one font type, not a bunch of fonts
@subhamsoni: And certainly no Comic Sans font in the CV
@subhamsoni: That's a matter of personal taste, but libertine is more of classical appeal, like in an old novel ... no, I would not use it for a CV, but this is a personal statement from me.
@subhamsoni: There is no general rule on the font... there might be professional (expensive) fonts still not suited for a CV and free fonts which can be used. I am no expert in this.
Hi, I've a question. If you are making a mapping from unicode symbols to latex macros. Should 'MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT CAPITAL A' (U+1D49C) map to \mathcal{A} or to \mathscr{A} ?
@Kasper Unicode decided they were font variants of the same thing so (they claim) it's like asking if U+0041 is a roman or itailc A
@Kasper it's best if you try to use same mappings as everyone else (and the distinction between calligraphic and script has to be in markup somewhere not in the plain text) eg do what Will does in unicode-math or see the mappings in w3.org/2003/entities/2007xml/unicode.xml (which includes all Will's mappings) there is a thread on script/calligraphic on www-math I'll post a link
so unicode-math maps it to \mathscr ? I guess that makes sense as the unicode symbol is called MATHEMATICAL SCRIPT ...
however, that means you don't have a unicode symbol for mathcal, which is used 10 times as often (at least from the thousand of question at stackexchange)
@Kasper See section 5.4.2 in the manual of unicode-math: \mathcal and \mathscr are by default synonyms, but can be split into two different categories.
@Kasper I think if you only want one or the other you can use the font feature stuff to switch in calligraphic (if the font has both) harder is if you need both in same document. There was discussion earlier this year to see if there was any chance of getting the calligraphic alphabet added to unicode even now. But that would take time and even longer to get fonts updated so it's not clearly worth it
@Kasper you don't have a unicode symbol for lots of things but they get typeset anyway, you just need markup, so there is no problemhaving \mathscr{A} and \mathcal{A} and you can make U+1D49C map to either, or you can make it map always to \mathscr{A} but make \mathscr use a caligraphic or script font the unicode position is it's just like choosing between times roman and comic sans, you need to choose but the Unicode slot doesn't help decide.
I don't know why frederic wang says: "only Asana Math and XITS Math have calligraphic scripts" in that discussion. To me it seems that Latin-Modern, Euler, Cambria Math, all have calligraphic symbols at U+1D49C
And so has TeX Gyre Pagella Math. Only Asana Math and XITS seem to have script letters there.
@Kasper You have to choose stylistic set 01, just like with any other font that provides stylistic sets
@Kasper With unicode-math you can call both variants, with different macros. With other software I don't know, but basically you're calling a different font.
but I think XITS should change it. The default should be calligraphic as it used much more, and the other unicode fonts also put calligraphic letters in that unicode range.
@Johannes_B: Many colleagues missed the deadline for subscription and try to get on the list anyway, but this is administrated at the Kultusministerium, so I have to write to the guys there ...
@Johannes_B: No internet connection... I just wonder, how you are chatting at the moment ;-)
