Seems Erwann is not just pissed at me and @Kurt. Good to know.

I am trying to parametrize figure placement using \begin{figure}[\figureplacement] but I get Unknown float option `\'.

Is there a way to make this work? \figureplacement is defined by \newcommand.

David Carlisle

@wilx just use \begin{figure} the whole point of the option is to use it to over-ride the class-specified default for special cases. When would you want to parametrise that? the default is \fps@figure which you can define to be whatever you would have defined \figureplacement as

@Johannes_B I have been attacked by some SE users before. What Erwann said is nothing.

@DavidCarlisle OK. Cool.

Hi everyone! Does anybody use Latex on Scientific Workspace? We are literally going crazy....

With a longtable (in landscape and generated with threeparttable) the caption above the table ...

egreg

@İremErten Don't use SWP, that's all. Probably you also get errors from the compilation. Or, maybe, SWP doesn't use an up-to-date TeX distribution.

@İremErten I added a comment to your question

@İremErten This is what I get from \listfiles; I don't think it's too long

@İremErten Just the part from *File List* up to *********** is needed

@egreg thanks ... my professor uses SWP and i need to fix his code. He likes this software but he cannot compile the document appropriately as you say ... here i send you what i get as log file

@İremErten The list obtained with SWP is also needed

@egreg Thought it might be. (Deleted the comment.)

@egreg thanks again... i asked my colleague and he will get back to me on the SWP file list

So I have split my Czech typography rules Lua code into separate file and I only load the code and use simple function calls in the .tex file.

Now, I should packagify it somehow.

David Carlisle

@wilx VV

\begin{luacode}
  require(kpse.find_file('cstypo.lua', true))
\end{luacode}

wilx

@DavidCarlisle Yes?

David Carlisle

that's a very complicated way of doing it:-) luacode is (possibly) useful for some in-document use of lua but not really in package calls, and not for extrernal files, you can just do

\directlua{require('cstypo')}

luatex has used kpse search for require for some years now, although originally you needed to call kpse explicitly

wilx

@DavidCarlisle Ah, OK.

David Carlisle

@wilx also best to avoid luatexbase.sty in new code (the current version of luatexbase.sty is a compatibility layer for the older version but since 2015 latex has included a core luatexbase table in its lualatex setup
