@samcarter Maybe they think we are really a kind of chatGPT....

@Rmano but do we have enough Asians among the regulars to claim we have Asian Intelligence?

We are just a cluster of natural neural networks... A LaTeX Leisure Valuable Moob?

@Rmano This is why I recetly started to comment to "How to TikZ this?" questions that this site is not meant to be a human-powered image-to-TikZ conversion tool. But of course, it does not change anything =D

@Rmano The must be really disappointed by the long waiting times - other chatgpt services are much faster!

@JasperHabicht ... maybe the site is a duck-powered conversation tool?

@samcarter We surely need improvement here!

@JasperHabicht There should be a blinking pop-up in neon colours, which apologises for the waiting time :)

@samcarter Yes! With a chorus of ducks singing this apology

@samcarter "Dear questioner, sadly, all ducks are currently busy. We will return quack ... err, back to you as soon as the next duck is available ..."

@JasperHabicht The chorus is ready to sing: github.com/TikZlings/Extravaganza2023/blob/main/ulrike/…

"... meanwhile, read this starter guide."

@JasperHabicht ... and that's the point they hang up :)

@samcarter Yes =/ But at least we had fun

@JasperHabicht Mission accomplished!

Hmm... Is everyone here from Germany? I see a lot of people from Germany.

@Petəíŕd The Spring Wizard No. Not everyone.

@Petəíŕd The Spring Wizard I think, LaTeX has a large German user community, which probably explains that there are quite a few Germans on this site. But I think that this site is really very international.

ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/l3kernel

A bit of CTAN rearrangement

@Petəíŕd The Spring Wizard do rabbits from Germany count?

Under biblatex \cite[45]{key} and \cite[45f]{key} gives different results. The former adds p. 45 the latter just 45f. Does anyone know how it tells the difference and is it configurable?

@daleif in case you want p. 45f then you should use the command 45\psq.

@UlrikeFischer that would work. There is no global option for it? Plus under Danish it [45\psq] gives med s. 45 f note the space on the f.

@daleif the space is configurable. \sqspace.

Hmm, might be an abreviation for forward (of fremad in Danish)

@daleif I think, this abbreviation comes from Latin: f > foliō (on the [next] page), same for p (since we use this in German as well, but there is no word starting with p in German to denote a page). (But in German f could also mean "folgende", so I am really not sure =D )

@JasperHabicht Makes sense. I have a student who is handing in their Master thesis tomorrow. And this difference in typesetting is their last item to fix. They'd either like all of them to have the page specifier, or none of them. Preferable without having to manually fix the entire thesis. I'm just not sure that is possible.

@Skillmon yup

@JasperHabicht got it

Ahh, \DeclareFieldFormat{postnote}{#1} seems to do the thing

@DavidCarlisle regarding the discussion after afterpage some weeks ago. Do we these days have a good solution for this question: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/575067/… which comes up from time to time.

I've solved it in one case using a recursice macro that uses \afterpage, just not sure is we have better solutions these days.

@cis page 57, Part VI, chapter 1 of fontspec.pdf

@Skillmon Ohh... I see. Very good.

@cis no, I did not. I never created any real font.

@DavidCarlisle @JosephWright ooh twitter.com/SoVeryBritish/status/1785393589310107933

@PauloCereda :)

@JosephWright regarding github.com/latex3/latex3/issues/1541: Is there something I don't get? Is there any behavioural difference I overlook between using \exp_args:NNx \tl_set:Nn and using \edef (except for the latter being considerable faster)?

@daleif I had a quick look at the question but isn't it just a matter of setting a \pagestyle for the frontmatter (and arranging the table fo contents macros don't undo that?)

Greetings from 2011. Not certain this is work a real question, but I can make one if it is. I'm trying to follow along with tug.org/TUGboat/tb39-2/tb122robertson-fontspec.pdf in xelatex.

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont{texgyrecursor}[Extension = *.otf, UprightFont = *-regular, ItalicFont = *-italic, BoldFont = *-bold, BoldItalicFont = *-bolditalic,] fails

Despite my having texlive/2023/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/tex-gyre/texgyrecursor-regular.otf present.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{texgyrecursor-regular.otf}
\begin{document}
abc
\end{document}

@MikeRenfro ^^ that works for me your version also fails in texlive 2024

@MikeRenfro ah you have = *.otf for Extension it should be = .otf with no *
