@Aditya each time you share this I can't help but notice the glaring typo on slide 4: Surely you're discussing 'Smart Grids', not 'Smart Girds', yes? ;-)
@ArthurReutenauer ooh tricky question. :) I think vocabulary differences are the most common barrier (I think syntatic structures are almost identical in both variants); but I confess I have trouble in understanding the phonetic component. I think we Brazilians speak more slowly (my impression), in which both stressed and unstressed syllables are visibly pronounced; when I hear other Portuguese variants, I notice that stressed syllables are very emphasized and the unstressed ones are not pronounced. :)
@JosephWright I had in mind textormath was "new" but I looked in latexrelease.sty it wasn't there so I didn't mention it and decided it musht have been older, @egreg says I should.... ltcounts.dtx should be in the latexrelease .ins file
@JosephWright not that serious latexrelease should back out those changes, but it doesn't
@JosephWright updating the format should be reasonably fixed periods I think unless it's completely broken. It would be nice to be able to update packages more frequently but the packages in base and especially that one are rather intimately tied to the format sources....
@DavidCarlisle Yes, but I suppose I'm getting at the fact we probably can fix this without waiting a year! One to talk about at the TUG meeting, I think.
@wget oh normal thing is to count it but (perhaps) not print it. latex relies on that as its twoside handling assumes right hand pages are odd, which isn't the case if you hav eunnumbered pages
@egreg well I checked something in to the latex sources, understanding or not
@wget \pagestyle{empty} there's a version of \cleardoublepage around that uses \thispagestyle in the middle of the definition of \cleardoublepage or just define it directly it's only three or four lines
I got this code snippet many, many years ago from I don't remember where, so unfortunately I can't credit its originator; but it certainly isn't mine.
\makeatletter \def\cleardoublepage{\clearpage\if@twoside
\ifodd\c@page\else \hbox{} \vspace*{\fill}
\thispagestyle{empty} \newpage
\if@twocolumn\...
@DavidCarlisle Thanks. I didn't know the TeX commands \ifodd and \ifeven existed. In that way I can reimplement the twoside document class option in my own class without relying on other classes.
@Aditya ah, don't worry, mistakes like these happen to me all the time too. :-) There is a quotation somewhere about a document not being a proper thesis unless it has at least one typo on the first page. :-)
@JosephWright see the diff that I checked in later, the \includerinrelase markup was "interesting" but had never been tried as that file wasn't included into latexrelease.sty, I ran a build check and it hung forever on one test...
@DavidCarlisle I've been thinking, can't \caption be stored in a \toks register to keep it from expanding too soon? So that it can be expanded the moment the box is actually typeset (in which case expansion is forced?).
Really I don't understand. Just defined a boolean value like on page 7 of the xkeyval manual. And when I specify the boolean value as my class option, I've got nothing; \PackageInfo{template}{turning shadows on}% isn't outputed in my compilation logs :-/
@ChristianHupfer That was my intention, but before I need to locate the location which could be responsible. I don't want to post my whole class file (1k lines) and ask others to find for me. xD
@ChristianHupfer Ok. Problem narrowed. I can check the value of my boolean now. But as soon I set it in my command arguments, the compilation fails :-/ \title[maintitle=some main title, subtitle=some subtitle,ownpage=true, author=firstname \textsc{lastname} \href{mailto:first@lastna}{\nolinkurl{<first@last.be>}}]
I have two command I have created with \newcommand, both work find. One is \mydate{date_variable} the other is \PrintOne{Variable1}{Variable2}. My problem is I can not figure out how I can put them in two of my columns in a tabularx table.

@egreg Sorry, the question was misleading. I meant the \newcommand question. I should have used a new line

@DavidCarlisle: :D
@DavidCarlisle: I put it to you that you published on purpose a hungarian phrasebook LaTeX package called tabularx just to perplex innocent LaTeX users ;-)
@1010011010 but how are you going to rewrite the float placement algorithm which assumes that it has fixed size boxes which affect the page breaking decision, you can set things up to save the caption and set when the float is placed but that's the easy bit the hard part is changing all the rest of latex that's not expecting that.
what is the command (internal) in the "standard" document classes that puts the brackets around a \cite? i'm going quite daft trying to find it. it's not \@biblabel, which formats the label in the bibliography. it's not \@cite@ofmt, which only formats what goes inside the brackets.
I would like to change the display style of 'citation' in a theorem using 'book' class. For example, by default, it would display
\begin{theorem}\cite{pS97}
<theorem-content>
\end{theorem}
as
Theorem 1. [11] <theorem-content>.

what i'm trying to do is override the "local" formatting and create a situation in which the brackets and their contents are always upright. i can trap the contents, but the brackets elude me. and there's (almost) nothing worse than slanty brackets with upright contents. (this can apply in environments other than theorems, hence the desire for a "global" solution.)
@DavidCarlisle -- snarf! i've been staring at that on and off for a couple of days, and even an emacs search for [ didn't make it stand out. thanks. sigh.
@PauloCereda -- @egreg is right; zapf does deserve much more than a blog post. i was privileged to have some communication with him regarding an article in tugboat that was a translation from dante's "kom\"odie" article, which in turn was drawn from a presentation he made when he was named an honorary member. i will dig up the references for you, if you would like them.
@DavidCarlisle -- volker schaa, who will be at the meeting, had contact with zapf in connection with a reworking of some fonts, including euler and (i think) some of cm, for don's birthday several years ago. (reported in tugboat, i'm almost certain.) i've sent a note to volker, asking if he'd consider giving a remembrance of that project at the meeting.
@PaulGessler The only thing I admire about engineering papers is you standardized citations. Onto a format I don't like, but at least you all use the same one.
Wants to be Czar of Chemistry Typsetting so he can demand DOI based links in all citations, abandon using links to OpenURL, CrossCref, CAS, ACS, et al.
@MartinSchröder We can use TeX everywhere. Such as for documenting Java projects.
@MartinSchröder Had a nice moment. I was in a meeting in Miami. Carnival Corporation and Holland America Line wanted to discuss new ship's network designs. Screen was assigned to me, all saw a bunch of TeX code, I clicked the TeXworks "play" button, and a complex network architecture diagram was generated. Even no one of the tech guys dared to ask, what that code meant.
