@olga, @izabera: Fubá is originally white, but the colour varies every time he goes on an adventure. :) One day he entered inside a barbecue grill and got all dirty. :P
@PauloCereda Oh, my! Zucchini? That's original. My cats can't go into the kitchen. They're confined to one very large room ever since they jumped out the window... \blushes
Could hear or smell it, we have no idea, the second you opened it, anywhere in the house. Even if he was deep alseep. Normally he'd slowly wake up if you were cutting meat or such, but crack a banada? He'd charge arcoss the house.
Can someone please try the code in tex.stackexchange.com/q/188697/3954 ? I don't get the result showed in the image in the question. The three great circles are missing in the output I get (PGF/TikZ version 3.0), but the OP claims in a comment thet the code produces the image with the 3 great circles. Am I missing something?
@izabera Thanks. It's weird. Perhaps the code works on older versions of PGF/TikZ. I tried the original in TeXample: texample.net/tikz/examples/map-projections but some of the lines are missing.
definitely the tikz version since a) i'm copying the gimp version which was drawn much more freely, now i have to respect the proportions and such; b) with gimp i just created a heart shaped brush with random color-scale-angle-opacity and painted where needed, and c) this is the first time i use it in a real world application, if i may call this "real world"
Hi there, does someone know some good reference on how to patch classfiles? At the moment I would like to change something like \def\@appendixstar{\@@par \def\thesection{Appendix \Alph{section}}}. I just need to delete the word "Appendix" but I don't know how to reach this part. Thank you
So I somehow need to code: "go to \@appendixstar, find the line \def\thesection..." and change it.
Ok, but I guess, there are long nested definitions around in common class files but the patches I sometimes see are really short... maybe I was lucky until now...
What about this "patchcmd"? Is this some tool to address single lines?
@LaRiFaRi I'm not really familiar with those, never used them. There are probably some questions on the site describing them. The 'naive' approach is to just copy the entire definition of \@appendixstar and change just the bit you want.
@TorbjørnT. nono, thats already enough. Seems like I never redefined a "\def" command but just "\newcommand"s I will play around with this. Thanks again
@Johannes_B I'm sure I wrote an answer about fps@.... once but search only showed one from egreg (not sure the question is quite close enough to call it a duplicate though)
@PauloCereda The whole game is going to come down to 1) what Messi does or does not do and 2) how strict are the refs going to be with the yellow cards, just like the last WC
@skullpatrol when i looked yesterday they said same as we said in chat here, the thing is called a percent symbol so either you assume the listener knows what this it is which case it's rather tautologous is speech: "the percent symbol represents percent" or you don't assume that and want to describe the shape of the symbol in which case you want to say "the percent symbol is made up of a sloping bar and two 0"
Many typfaces come with different fonts for different font sizes. For example Surveyor Pro has a Book style for main text and a Display style for headings (or in general, large text). Another example is the open source project XITS which if scaled down to smaller text needs kerning pair adjustmen...
@cgnieder Thank you, I fixed it. That database runs still on another server, where the texdoc.org confluence installation filled up the space with daily backups, so mysql died
Hi , I have a question which really won't interest anyone so I'll ask it here: I want to use a protection similar to how the TeX-book is protected against compilation, so that it will show the source code in the editor but it won't compile by pressing the button. TeXbook opens with a statement: `\loop\iffalse` `\errmessage{This manual is copyrighted and should not be TeXed}\repeat`, but deleting that still wouldn't let it compile so it appears a little more complex than that. How can I achieve the same result?
@egreg Did you see the 'follow up' question about 'percentage complete' page numbering? My feeling is that the additional requirements can probably be covered by edits to the existing answers on the first question.
@JosephWright Maybe so, but I'm not interested; the original question had some bad answers. This kind of “metric information” is just annoying or meant to make the reader think “Gee! Still so much to read of this abomination!”
@izabera Basically I want to show the code to someone but I don't want that person to be able to compile the document - it's more of a methodical showcase.
I fully understand what you're getting at but yeah, why would I add in support for three different listings packages, options to turn off figures, hell I even coded most of the R algorithms into the document just for the hell of it. And I can totally see that this would make some people shake their heads, after all, why not use Sweave ? Why not support only one package of this and that? Usability is important too, to me at least.
That's why I'm working on changing the accessibility package to support listings as well, etc.
It's an enormous project with minimal gain - in a way I see the code you create as the portfolio of what you can offer and a large part of the customization that I hear many people bring up as a prime reason to use LaTeX not only stems from but is even contingent on said usability and accessibility of the features as the original coder had them in mind.
@egreg yes, you win with the brevity of your code about TrimBraces. Your code could be more short when you remove two redundant braces after first \@nil.
@topskip Sure, but once those are discovered, it is easy to parse. Not like something weird with { and } you have to match. I can barely program and I can parse a XYZ coordinate file, but have no idea how to go about the same data in JSON or something like that.
