@PaulGessler Every now and then, I get an invitation from a person who does not have an RG account to join RG. Got it? :)
@DavidCarlisle quite inconvenient, at least to say. I use it quite a lot. I'll go with \newcommand\conj{\dagger} for now, so that I can change it easily if I need to
@DavidCarlisle Which is the recommended way for having a multipage tabularx, don't you remember?
Is it even legal for them to ask people to upload their often published research to their homepage? As far as I can see I cannot give a link to an article, I have to upload the PDF.
@yo' worse it guesses people with names vaguely similar to co-authors of papers you have written and helpfully adds them as co-authors and mail you every time they sneeze.
@PaulGessler I have it because I once had to download a publication from a bloke. I don't like it, but I try to keep my profile as updated as possible. At least, I got a citation from another bloke because of that. :)
@daleif I don't upload copyrighted papers (e.g, some from IEEE), only ones that are freely available (e.g, some from IEEE Latin America LOL); for those I can't, I create a document in LaTeX containing the paper title, info, citation and abstract and upload it. :P
@PaulGessler I had an account but decided it was not a good idea (not only the copyright business, also for example they don't seem to understand duplicate records)
@egreg: I was reading your answer here: italian.stackexchange.com/questions/1484/… Mûnchen is translated to Munique in Portuguese. :) I was also expecting Joe Green in your answer too. :P
@DavidCarlisle Tested TL'15 with the expl3 tests. Other than the stuff with etex/registers (really a LaTeX2e thing) the only diff at present is one due to LuaTeX discretionary treatment. I have a plan to solve that :-)
@PauloCereda @DavidCarlisle LuaTeX's extra discretionary lines in the log have a particular format which I think we can detect and therefore remove (needs a bit of work: I have a plan)
@DavidCarlisle I think I can see how to handle this properly now :-) I think we'll have a few checkins this evening
@DavidCarlisle I might switch the tests to TL'15 as well
@PauloCereda Key examples: glue setting is not the same, so we need to round values in some cases; logging adds/removes information, for example including discretionary cases which are not used; LuaTeX uses the Omege RTL model which logs additional data, ...
@PauloCereda Some of it is tricky, especially as there is no official list of the differences (as Hans feels people should simply move to LuaTeX only and not make the comparison)
@PauloCereda Some of the differences in behaviour are a good idea, for example hyphenation based on language not font
@PauloCereda luatex boxes have attributes that give direction of contents etc which gives a much better bidi control, but \showbox shows that stuff which makes things tricky when comparing diff output (and other things are just arbitrarily different)
@JosephWright probably the luatex normalisations will need a flag so they can easily be turned off, I can imagine if you want to test a luatex specific package rather than cross engine compat you might need to see those things (especially direction)
@DavidCarlisle I was thinking of handling this as I've done for other stuff and making the normalisation function replaceable, but a flag might also be sensible
@DavidCarlisle We only normalise the 'do nothing' direction stuff, so any case using RTL or whatever will still show
@DavidCarlisle Probably for the moment I'll just add and we can handle more complex cases later!
@JosephWright a lot of people will find it easier to set a boolean flag to false than redefine a lua function. (I said after having redefined one of your functions last night:-)
@JosephWright will there be a separate function to normalize the normalisations, or will we have mixed American and British English in the code? ;-) (Or, have you and @DavidCarlisle already converted everything to the Queen's English?)
@PaulGessler Internal stuff we can I guess do what we want (BE is rather more natural for the team), but we have tended to a position that AE is how it is, even though none of the native English speakers are American!
I want to have a new line after a bold written text.
Sadly the following Latex-Code does not work:
\subsection{subsec}
\textbf{2.$)$}
\texttt{Some} text I have written.
\\
\textbf{1.$)$}
\texttt{some} other text that I have written.
Is there a way to actually force a newline no matter what...
I think what he's after is \parskip, but I'm not sure I should tell him until he corrects the rest of the code lest he be on his merry way with the frankendocument – advice?
@egreg yes well there was a space added at that point but I used \relax so it would be OK with a literal as well as a register, but wanted to note that line had been responsible. You of course would have written 50 paragraphs on safe ways to terminate \ifdim0pt>#1 if you don't know what kind of thing #1 is....
In any case it is better to educate users that one never makes heading like structures in the text using \textit, \textbf etc. Make a speal macro for them so it is controllable in the preamble. Separate structure and formatting.
(This might have been asked before, but I could not find it.)
A lot of questions and answers on this site have some piece of code (to be compiled with one of the standard engines) and a screenshot. As many online services prove, it is very easy to get LaTeX running on a server. So why do we not ...
@JosephWright not true. It's not a matter of implementation, it's a matter of design decision. Even if it were simple to implement, I would be against.
Is this user just performing a bunch of bumps by minor edits? ...
One of those expectations was that the game-like aspects of the site should not be taken seriously. As in many other systems, users rate one another on the site, and those ratings produce numerical reputation scores. “It’s unfortunate that the MathOverflow software calls its number reputation,” says Morrison, “we push back pretty hard on that.”
@Gaussler Not worth it in the sense of should we support windows vista?. Not in the sense of should we design a new OS? to the latter the answer is always yes and to the former always a no. — percusse2 mins ago

@egreg: one for you: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/239986/… I have no idea why \chapter is failing, since it seems abntex2 passes most of its stuff to memoir.
@PauloCereda There's obviously an error in the chapter style abnt, because with \chapterstyle{veelo} (requires graphicx) everything works. And the book model in the distribution of abntex2 uses \chapterstyle{veelo}. ;-)
@JosephWright I can't get a \dimexpr into some unknown part of the class code without more effort but I can load calc to redefine \setlength rather more easily:-)
@JosephWright \glueexpr would be better, but calc is probably the official supported syntax, and the code had all kinds of dependencies on hyperref and sticking with supported syntax (for once) seemed like a good idea
@DavidCarlisle He doesn't want to learn it, so instead prints out the PDFs we send him and marks them up by hand. This would be less of a problem if his writing wasn't one of the two worst I've ever seen....
I've yet to figure out why journals are spending so much money on 'enhanced' PDFs and Readcube and things, when I still have to pick between 'graphics that aren't pants' and 'has links' on the ACS's website. Also, why the enhanced versions are ragged-right sans-serif.
@Canageek He surely wasn't “normal”. Who is, anyway? A genius, certainly. Not that I like everything of his playing style, but he had a unique style, thus interesting under every respect.
No: consider

A=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix},\qquad
B=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&-1\end{bmatrix}
