@stalkingisprohibited But this year you cannot opt in, either.

@PauloCereda Not that there aren't worse things going on. This just seemed... especially unlucky.

@DavidCarlisle vim has its mind on higher things.

@egreg Though they'd have to get him out of the chimney in order to prosecute, I think.

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle LOL

egreg

@cfr And he has the flying sled to escape with.

cfr

2:12 AM

@egreg By hypothesis, he's stuck in the chimney at the moment.

I don't think he can be done for burglary, though. Breaking-and-entering, naturally...

Maybe illegal dumping?

stalking is prohibited

@egreg Oh my ghost. It is a sad news. :-)

@cfr Sad... :-)

I can't install Fedora 21 in my brand new workstation because... well, because #Dell is incompetent enough to not deliver my order.

Christian Hupfer

@PauloCereda: It's already evil enough that Germans dig out bad stuff from hell (as I can see everyday here :-(), but please, please don't mention those too

Paulo Cereda

@michal.h21 True story. :( But F21 is running in my laptop. :)

@ChristianHupfer Sorry, I.. don't understand what I did. :(

Christian Hupfer

@PauloCereda: I will buy (well assemble) a new workstation in a few days...

@PauloCereda: Mentioning the "kleine Krokodil" ;-)

Paulo Cereda

@ChristianHupfer Blame @Johannes for that. :)

michal.h21

@PauloCereda yeah I guess it is hard to deliver anything around Christmas, I ordered food for my dog and it was delayed for a week :(

Paulo Cereda

@michal.h21 Oh no!

Christian Hupfer

@PauloCereda: Yes, I will do so @Johannes_B :-P

@ChristianHupfer I think i know what i eat on Christmas next year

Christian Hupfer

@Johannes_B: Crocodile feet?

No answers by me for a week now... TeX.SX is fading away from me...

Johannes_B

@ChristianHupfer Crocodile tail

What would be christmas without some spam from pakistan?

Christian Hupfer

@Johannes_B: Spam .... or lovely Spam, Spam, Spam... I don't like Spam .... Spam and bacon, Spam and beans?

Johannes_B

@ChristianHupfer Actually, forum spam. ;-)

Christian Hupfer

@Johannes_B: Well, @PauloCereda writes a lot, but I would not declare that as spam ;-)

Paulo Cereda

9:42 AM

@michal.h21 I ordered in Nov 4. :(

Christian Hupfer

@Johannes_B: Why me???

Johannes_B

@ChristianHupfer Why not? :-)

Christian Hupfer

@Johannes_B: It's redundancy... :-P

Johannes_B

@ChristianHupfer Anybody else than me can do it.

Christian Hupfer

@Johannes_B: I used the standard stock comment ... Thanks to FireFox tab bar :D

Paulo Cereda

From the upcoming arara manual. :) @ChristianHupfer: ^^ :)

Christian Hupfer

@PauloCereda: Did you ask one of the remaining MP's (or even the late Graham C?) for allowance to use that lines? :-P

Paulo Cereda

@ChristianHupfer Oh no! :)

Friends, just a quick question: how difficult would be to display an image nearby the page number?

David Carlisle

@PauloCereda \def\@oddfoot{\hfill\includegraphics{}\thepage} that hard

David Carlisle

@PauloCereda usage ?

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle Too lazy to add it as a localised string. :)

10:39 AM

    - create a KOMA-script document and insert e.g. a table float
    - right-click on the caption and you can select its type in the context menu (standard, above, below)
    - now add a label to the caption and assure that the label is the first thing inside the caption

result: one can no longer select the type of the caption in the context menu

This bug only occurs if the first thing inside the caption is no character. For example if it is a short title or a label.

Paulo Cereda

7:03 PM

We need more noise in here. :)

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank

We don't have snow in here, so I have no bloody idea of what this song is talking about. :)

Santa Claus is coming to town!

egreg

@PauloCereda Have you ever seen snow?

Paulo Cereda

Santa Claus is Turkish, IIRC. :)

@egreg Only in TV. :)

Johannes_B

Rainy ugly day in my hometown Freiberg.

Paulo Cereda

@Johannes_B ooh I know rain. :)

egreg

@PauloCereda You should definitely come and see some glacier.

Paulo Cereda

7:09 PM

@egreg ooh it sounds too cold. :)

egreg

Paulo Cereda

@egreg so beautiful!

egreg

This is the one nearest to me: Marmolada.

Paulo Cereda

It looks like is covered with sugar. :)

@egreg Is it high?

egreg

Marmolada

Marmolada (em italiano: Marmolada) conhecida também como "Regina delle Dolomiti" (Rainha das Dolomitas) é uma montanha dos Alpes, mais propriamente do Grupo da Marmolada, subcordilheira das Dolomitas, com altitude de 3343 m. Fica a leste da cidade de Trento e é o ponto mais alto das Dolomitas e a nona mais proeminente dos Alpes. Antes da Primeira Guerra Mundial, a fronteira Áustria-Itália passava no topo da montanha. A montanha tem vários cumes que, diminuindo de altitude de oeste para leste, são: Punta Penia (3343 m), Punta Rocca (3309 m), Punta Ombretta (3230 m), Monte Serauta (3069 m), e Pizzo...

Paulo Cereda

7:12 PM

Oh my, I heard about Regina delle Dolomiti!

Amazing!

egreg

@PauloCereda Less than 200 km from my house.

Paulo Cereda

@egreg Adding that to our list (of course, ice cream is the first item). :)

Faheem Mitha

@PauloCereda I didn't see snow till I was 21.

Paulo Cereda

@egreg: how do you like my new info box for the arara manual? :)

@FaheemMitha Let's hope I'll hit Europe in the correct time of the year. :)

Faheem Mitha

@PauloCereda Are you planning to hit Europe? Hopefully not too hard.

Paulo Cereda

7:19 PM

@FaheemMitha With all my forces. :)

Hi, everyone, just popped in to say Merry Christmas, Feliz Natal, Buon Natale, Iyi Noeller, Nagolig Llawen, Feliz Navedad, Joyeux Noël, and Fröhliche Weinachten to all good typographers and memoir users

@JosephWright Good choice. +1

@PauloCereda I wonder if @DavidCarlisle could turn that into a bunch of compressed gibberish à la xii.tex?

@Johannes_B "Create a koma-script document...". As the regular expression people say, "Now you have two problems"

Johannes_B

Hi @Brent, i like KOMA-script. :-p

@Brent Maybe because i know the german language and can read the original doc in german. Still hard enough.

Q: State of Unicode math typesetting fonts?

In a 2011 EuroBachoTeX talk, Ulrik Vieth discusses TeX unicode math fonts and their state of completeness. He lists the following 4 fonts as (more or less) production-ready: Cambria Math Asana Math (Apostolos Syropoulos) CITS Math (Khaled Hosny) Latin Modern Virtual (Hans Hagen) [ConTeXt onl...

fonts unicode-math

Can we answer this?

'Ask the devs' is the only real answer, although the GUST work is certainly usable (I have some inside insight from the UK-TUG funding perspective)

Alan Munn

Merry Christmas / Joyeux Noël / Buon Natale / Feliz Natal / Frohe Weihnachten / Feliz Navidad to everyone!

Johannes_B

9:55 PM

@JosephWright I guess not, but having a collection of »Font dev in state nearly done« would be nice. But who should ask the developers?

egreg

@JosephWright No.

Johannes_B

tex.stackexchange.com/questions/214772/… links to a showcase post with many pictures. My load raised to 4.14 and firefox decided to crash. Does anybody have similar experiences?

I can't figure how to integrate this into the format of the original question. Should I ask a separate question about this?

As usually, I don't really understand how the answer works, so it is hard for me to adapt it.

Johannes_B

11:13 PM

@FaheemMitha If i understoof that right, @DavidCarlisle redefined ref to put a marker to the auxiliary file as well. When scrolling through the table every item defined via zz looks if the marker defined, if yes, print the entry (the second argument to be more precise), if it is not defined, zap the line.

Faheem Mitha

@Johannes_B I see. That's a helpful description. You could add it to the answer if you wanted.

I'll look at it again tomorrow. It's late here.

Johannes_B

@FaheemMitha Late here as well. I guess @DavidCarlisle will add some descriptions. We can later close the new one as a dupe or whatever.

@FaheemMitha Good night.

Paulo Cereda

11:42 PM

Merry Christmas to all! It's still Dec 24 here (21:42), but surely it's already Christmas for most of you. :)

Faheem Mitha

@Johannes_B If you feel like sketching how a solution would look for my example, please feel free.

@PauloCereda Yes, Christmas morning here.

Not that it means much here.

Friends! Who can tell me a good source for usage of the titletoc package? I found some examples on the main page, I found some examples in the user manual, but none of the examples work for my document so I'm trying to understand why it doesn't work...??
