@kan normally (windows) 23 but I updated cygwin yesterday so was expecting to say I had 24 on that but actually it just hangs:-) I'd better get cygwin emacs working asap:-)
@kan bashrc is executed each time you start bash so if you simply append to the path in that you can find it appended multiple times if you are in the habit of starting subshells. Not that that normally matters.
any experts around please? I am getting strange error with TL 2013 at this line and do not know what to make of it. Here is the error:
(/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsfonts/umsb.fd)
! Undefined control sequence.
\a:newlabel ...utoref\string \endcsname {\NR:Type
}#1}
l.49 \end{equation}
?
And here is the line in the code (around line 49)...
@MarcoDaniel Not only using the parskip package is disputable; adding \onehalfspacing to it is appalling. I'm referring to the documentation of lengthconvert. ;-)
@Nasser you start out with one file, but htlatex writes other files and some of them get fed back to tex and if an error happens while processing them line numbers relate to that temporary file. That's what I meant.
I got a problem after upgrading to MacTeX 2013 today. When I try to produce a pdf file with pdflatex I get an error like this:
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for pfrr8r. mktexpk: perhaps pfrr8r is
missing from the map file
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log...
@AlanMunn I don't know what to say; I switched to using updmap.cfg in texmf-local, as recommended in TL 2012, and I have no problem in finding the fonts there.
@DavidCarlisle @egreg @JosephWright and others : I'm gaining speed little by little for a linear algebra operations library (very limited so far) for TeX. Believe it or not the most difficult part for me is to store the matrices in temporary variables when doing arbitrary operations :)
Would you recommend L3 lists for such usage? Or should I really hold things in macros as comma separated arrays.
I just started reading about them and I guess I have to dig deeper.
@percusse Notice that in l3candidates there are methods such as \seq_item:Nn which extracts the item from a list corresponding to a particular index, so \seq would work well as an array.
@AndrewStacey Oh thanks for reminding me that. My second question is about indexing a particular entry without touching every item in the list. I was thinking of keeping track of the variables' meta data in a related macro, e.g., \meta_mymatrix_size, \meta_mymatrix_r_or_c etc., say to get the size of the matrix. But I think that would make the macro numbers run out too quickly.
@percusse I could sell you a linear algebra library:-) sequence would work although you might be better with a specific 2d array datatype rather than always encoding everything as list of lists, there was some discussion of that somewhere not so long ago I'll see if I can find it. @JosephWright would remember (unless I dreamt it:-)
@TorbjørnT. Yes. I was thinking to built on top of it. But for something like a LU decomposition I couldn't make it flexible enough without too long for loops. In the end I will contact Bruno anyhow. :)
@DavidCarlisle Ah that would be great !
@TorbjørnT. Due to some IQ problems, I decided to include the complex data which made everything even more difficult.
@percusse there was some discussion triggered by Bruno on arrays/objects/structured-things but it was internal team list, so you'd need to ping him:-) I'm not sure of the current state (or in fact whether there is any current state at all or whether it was just discussion, I only half remembered it and just flicked over the top of the thread just now)
@DavidCarlisle Yes, I had a go at one but Bruno suggested (probably correctly) that we should look to create an 'object' type which allows arbitrary situations
We will soon see the arrival of the new close reasons (a change being implemented across the StackExchange network). This will raise a few question: here I want to focus specifically the 'unclear what you're asking' closure reason.
The text for this will apparently read
Please clarify your s...
@DominicMichaelis With a theorem-like environment for remarks, you can easily customize its appearance (header font and body font, for instance), which is not easy with \paragraph.
@egreg would you like to take a look at the outer appearance of the script later ? well it is on german but that doesn't matter for the type set does it ?
@PauloCereda Too easy. It's better to state a lemma in chapter 1 saying it will be proved in chapter 3; in chapter 2 use the lemma to prove a theorem. In chapter 3 use the theorem to finally prove the lemma.
@DavidCarlisle Here are some relevant information:
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/home/knsam/.emacs':
File error: Cannot open load file, auctex.el
To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.
So, I do the --debug-init and see:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "auctex.el")
load("auctex.el" nil t t)
eval-buffer(#<buffer *load*> nil "/home/knsam/.emacs" nil t) ; Reading at buffer position 106
load-with-code-conversion("/home/knsam/.emacs" "/home/knsam/.emacs" t t)
load("~/.emacs" t t)
#[0 "\205\262
(oops there is some problem with last few lines, not copying from the buffer! do they matter @David?)
well do you have auctex. I have it with my emacs 23 (I don't think I added it, although I can't remember) but it hasn't come with the emacs 24 I have) emacs23 site-lisp had a emacs23.4/site-lisp/tex-site.el that turned on auctex by default
@kan for me find /usr/share/emacs/24.3 -name auctex.\* returns nothing so I'd have to go and fetch it if I needed it (or copy it over from emacs 23)
@kan well did you do the ix thing in the manual at the gnu.org site I linked to above (I have never used elpa so you are on your own there) or did you read teh file README that you list above,
@kan yes but with that much code just guessing which is the top level file to load is not a good idea. Did you add the (load auctex) to your .emacs or did the package manager do it. If you did it I would remove that and so your .emacs has no reference to a "manual" install then try again using the epla i and x thing.
@kan It's like linux software installs: do it all manually or do it all through a package manager, trying to do both leads to pain
@kan I just installed auctex as described at gnu.org just requires ix no editing of files at all. tex files now open up in in auctex (don't even need to restart emacs)
@kan yes but if you have an error in your .emacs loadig a file that isn't there then the rest of your .emacs isn't run and your session will b emisconfigured
OK! I'm not sure how it would look, but is it possible to have footnotes be multicol while the rest of the document is not? I have a lot of short footnotes per page, and I thought it might save space. Is that possible?
I need a suggestion: I have two minipages with 0.5\linewidth. Is there a way to add a lil gap between them? Reducing the minipage width is fine, but they stick together. :P
@DominicMichaelis \newtheorem* is precisely what produces unnumbered theorems (with amsmath). For the documentation of amsthm, see texdoc.net/texmf-dist/doc/latex/amscls/amsthdoc.pdf or look for amsthdoc.pdf on your system
@egreg yes I'd assumed @PauloCereda would make them smaller:-)
I just managed to get past Herbert on to the top row, now <insert this weeks name> has lined up a 4x500 bounty for a pstricks question he's bound to get:)
Throughout the James Bond series of films and novels, Q Branch has given Bond a wide variety of vehicles with which to battle his enemies. Among the most noteworthy gadgets, Bond has been equipped with various vehicles that have numerous modifications to include elaborate weapons and anti-pursuit systems, alternative transportation modes, and various other functions.

@Alan: if James Bond were Brazilian, he'd have a Fusca. :)
@PauloCereda It depended on what company offered the most for using their car in the movie. It was the same with what brand of whisky he drank or the cigarettes he smoked.
Out of curiosity, how do you guys spell check your documents? :)
@DavidCarlisle This starred message of yours made me procrastinate all day watching a Pokémon movie about the battle of the two most powerful Pokémons, Mew vs Mewtwo. :P
@egreg Note my packages were consistent originally. I blame Chris's \change (although the internal record reveals I said at the time we should make it:-)
@PauloCereda The same way I spell check my comments here :(
@egreg I added an answer to the question about problematic hyperlinks with beamer: tex.stackexchange.com/q/120891/3954 Apparently this still doesn't work for the OP. Could you please test the solution to see if it works for you?
@GonzaloMedina hm the ones in the outline bookmarks on the left and the ones in beamers header with the circles all seem to be doing the right thing for me but maybe I'm getting tired.
@DavidCarlisle Hmmm... that's weird. I just double checked and hyperlinks in the outline were off by one (no problems with the ones in the navigation bar, though). After removing shrink, hyperlinks in the ToC are also working OK. Maybe I am also tired?
We need a third part verification :-)
@DavidCarlisle it seems it was me! A new trial shows no problem. I'll delete that answer.
