Read the fine manual?

Q: Is there a way to put two labelled equations into one \begin{equation} and align both of them at the beginning?

I can't believe how difficult it is to work with \begin{equation}. I put one extra blank row under the equation and multiple errors popped up. Anyways, I have two equations which are labelled \begin{equation} a = b + c \label{1} \end{equation} \begin{equation} ddddddd = e+x \label{2} \end{eq...

Hello!! How can I add the name of university and the name of supervisor at the title page of my thesis?

Do I have to add a command before or after \maketitle?

\begin{document}

\title{ Blabla }

\author{ Blabla }

\date{ }

@DavidCarlisle On my way to your part of the world, more or less

David Carlisle

@JosephWright RAL ?

@MaryStar it depends entirely how the frontmatter commands are defined in your thesis class, they are all different you'll need to read your local documentation

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle Yup

@DavidCarlisle Panel meeting today and tomorrow: I'm back a week on Saturday for beam time

David Carlisle

10:21 AM

@JosephWright I'd say pop in as you are driving past, but I need to leave early this afternoon (got a clarinet player to listen to:-)

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle On the train so don't actually go past

David Carlisle

10:40 AM

@JosephWright trains oh yes, I've heard of them. Wine as good as @egreg's ?

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle what happened to the trombone? :)

David Carlisle

@PauloCereda keeping both going and going to big school wasn't really a possibility as apparently they can't just do music, they have science and some strange thing called "foreign languages" to do, apparently.

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle oh no, don't tell me it's French! :)

egreg

@DavidCarlisle Tell them to just use Google.

@DavidCarlisle Do they have maths, too?

David Carlisle

@PauloCereda of course (are there others?)

Paulo Cereda

10:45 AM

@DavidCarlisle Piglatin. :)

David Carlisle

@egreg I'll send him to you, later

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle ooh Gregorio-Miyagi. :)

Or could be one of the Jedi blokes.

egreg

11:15 AM

@PauloCereda Maybe I'm on the dark side of the force^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H math.

Paulo Cereda

@egreg ooooh :)

David Carlisle

@PauloCereda @egreg's so old he only knows teletype conventions, not ~~modern typesetting~~

egreg

@DavidCarlisle Like <strike>this</strike>? :)

wget

Do you think I'll get an answer on my question or is the latter a bit "too long/complicated"? tex.stackexchange.com/q/281029/66964

David Carlisle

11:41 AM

@egreg similar, but working rather than not working

@wget probably too long

@wget it needs to be short and interesting enough to distract people from more important business like trading insults here.

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle Almost at glorious Didcot!

David Carlisle

12:00 PM

@JosephWright Are you sure they didn't blow it up along with the cooling towers?

@JosephWright Was I negative enough on luatex list? :-)

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle I've said much the same thing

@DavidCarlisle Yes, this is definitely Didcot (now on the bus)

Paulo Cereda

@JosephWright Your internet coverage is impressive. :)

Joseph Wright

@PauloCereda The bus is a new one: we are no longer allowed to get a taxi during office hours

Paulo Cereda

@JosephWright ooh the famous black cab?

Joseph Wright

@PauloCereda Not in Didcot, no

Paulo Cereda

12:06 PM

@JosephWright Oh.

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle So we have a 'keen user' for LuaTeX v0.85

@DavidCarlisle Nothing from HO: we are going to need plan B I suspect

Paulo Cereda

Oh no, someone cited me!

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle We probably need to watch miktex.org/kb/roadmap-2-9

Ulrike Fischer

@JosephWright I have quite a lot to do this and next week but I'm trying to keep an eye on your discussion to be able to push if necessary a bit on the miktex side. (I also wrote HO a mail, perhaps it helps).

1:09 PM

@DavidCarlisle Does cutting it in several questions would help?

G. Bay

Must I do anything special after updating TexLive? To ensure i'm using lastes version of the packages

wget

On my side. I've just updated my Texlive version, letting my IDE (TeXstudio) open and it took the right version. No crash.

So it should work properly on your side too, without any changes.

David Carlisle

@G.Bay other than tlmgr update --self --all ? that should be enough.

@wget possibly although I've not looked in detail (not packages that I know, particularly)

G. Bay

@DavidCarlisle I'm having some trouble with PGFPLOTS colorbrewer, even after update

David Carlisle

@G.Bay I know absolutely nothing about pgf:-)

G. Bay

1:20 PM

hehe, all right

I had to download the file alone and then update filename database ;)

David Carlisle

@G.Bay how new is it?, the texlive people are usually pretty good at moving things to texlive (but it is a manual operation, they have to do it for each package update in their "spare" time)

G. Bay

@DavidCarlisle I don't think it's new at all, but an comment from Feb 24 question said to do so... so I did.

Just some predefined color scheme names, can't be "new" thing lol

David Carlisle

@G.Bay that's odd, if the version on ctan is newer than texlive by a week or so it's worth pinging texlive list see if it got missed by accident. Unless you mean you got an update from a pgf source repository rather than ctan, in which case that's different. If the developers choose not to publish yet it won't go out by default.

wget

@DavidCarlisle Yep `tlmgr update --self --all` is enough. This is what I do on Arch Linux. But pay attention at the umask value. The latter must be 022. All my bashrc are on other values, so make sure to change to umask 022 before updating ;-)

@G.Bay ^

G. Bay

@wget dunno, i just run Tex Live Manager under windows 10, click "update installed" and pray to work lol

wget

1:35 PM

@G.Bay Ah ok. You are on Windows. Personally, I don't trust TeXlive on Windows. I use MiKTeX on that platform.

BUt glad to hear TeXlive is now robust enough to run on Windows ;-)

Btw, if someone could upvote my question http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/281029/66964
in order for StackExchange to consider it as "active" and put it again in the "active tab" (more chance to get an answer if I've more visibility).

G. Bay

@wget it is indeed, I tried miktex in my first days of latex, but wasn't my taste :/ I manage to make the color thing work now

David Carlisle

@wget since before it was called texlive

@wget you could edit it. which also makes it active I think

@wget texlive was essentially a merger of tetex (unix) and fptex (windows) and later merged with mactex, so windows support was there from the start.
