Humpf, I like ducks before it was mainstream.

@PauloCereda If you like TeX, you are on the safe side

@StefanKottwitz ooh I do. :)

@egreg That eszett question is strange, is it even on topic? The question alone makes it opinion based.

@Johannes_B Yes: ugliness is in the eye of the beholder. ;-)

@egreg that's very true! Mum says I'm the most handsome bloke! :P

@PauloCereda “Ogne scarrafone è bello 'a mamma soja”, they say in Naples.

@PauloCereda Translation: “Every beetle is beautiful to their mother”.

@egreg :-)

@egreg google translate horribly fails with this one.

@Johannes_B They don't support Neapolitan.

@Johannes_B I guess as its about CM its OK

@StefanKottwitz looks good

In Apple shop waiting to be seen about laptop repair

@egreg golatex.de/viewtopic,p,78575.html#78575

@egreg :)

@JosephWright Regarding github pages: changing DNS to the github page IP of @DavidCarlisle would not work. The IP is from a content delivery network of github, so both changing and multisite. A http redirect to the site URL would work. Though I would prefer a mirroring via scp or wget or so, to stay with the original name, but also for developing a responsive/mobile/active version besides it. Also for keeping the alternative Link old names working.

For example, without a mobile friendly version Google would not show FAQ results on phones or tablets. They discard non-mobile results, so sites "don't exist" in the growing mobile Internet.

@StefanKottwitz I think the plain html version is in fact "mobile friendly" it's only if you have fixed width elements (in fact I'd rather use the plain html list of links on a small screen than the folding sections that need a lot mre interaction)

@StefanKottwitz I hope your Grandma is doing well ^^ Every point well deserved...

@DavidCarlisle :)

@DavidCarlisle: Same here. :)

@StefanKottwitz just confirmed that google does show results on the github tex faq on my phone. (although I agree it's probably best to mirror the site onto the fixed IP address of your server for "published" versions, and leave the github version for testing

@PauloCereda the postman just came!

@DavidCarlisle yaaaay!

@PauloCereda thanks:-)

@DavidCarlisle <3

@DavidCarlisle Thanks for checking! Flowing simple html without fixed widths should indeed be ok for phone and so google.

@Johannes_B @egreg: Well there has been some very heated discussion about it in the last century. The cm-super actually provide an alternative germandbls.alt and it can be activated quite easily but as the question is closed I can't show how ;-(.

@UlrikeFischer I can vote for reopening, but still it's off topic in my opinion

@UlrikeFischer Sorry, but the application on my smartphone doesn't seem to allow a vote for reopening

@egreg ooh is it an iPhone? :)

@PauloCereda Yes, I'm going to Rovigo for my nephew's rugby match

@egreg Yay!

@egreg Yes, in the original wording certainly. I suggested in a comment that the op edits the question, so lets wait.

@StefanKottwitz -- being curious, i tool a look. i agree with @UlrikeFischer that the left border could be a bit wider. but more importantly, i opened up one of the subsections, and control sequences had the \ separated from the "name" by a space, as in \ newcommand or \ [. rather misleading. hope that's an easy fix. (by the way, i volunteer to do a more thorough check when it's nearer release.)

Damn + sign disturbs the symmetry ;-)

@cfr what do you mean with: You need to allow for the separation between columns in figuring the width for the multicolumn else it will get cut off oddly on the right like that.

@ChristianHupfer nice number

@Kurt I could resist the voices in my head to click on it ;-)

Hello @DavidCarlisle: will email (again) about Unicode in a bit

@JosephWright just got back in from a "gigaclear broadband demo" in the next village, they have just gone live so we could test if it works:-)

@DavidCarlisle Cool

@DavidCarlisle I'm at work :-(

@ChristianHupfer fixed

Fight with Word's inability to number display equations

@DavidCarlisle MS Pain(t)? ;-)

@ChristianHupfer Don't you think I regenerated it all in TiKz?

@DavidCarlisle No ;-)

@JosephWright Murray says it's easy: blogs.msdn.com/b/murrays/archive/2015/05/14/…

@DavidCarlisle Needs 2016?

@DavidCarlisle See mail re. Unicode data. I'm wondering if I'm wasting my time.

@JosephWright I guess so, this is the old way (not that I've tried either) blogs.msdn.com/b/murrays/archive/2014/02/21/…

@DavidCarlisle That's the one I know of, but as this is for publication it just has to look 'sort of right' so I've got the number on a line below with a right-tab

Typesetters will have to sort it out :-)

(ArborText I think)

@JosephWright just got that mail, I suspect the preparsing makes sense if you want it to be cross platform, in a future latex3 or expl3format or whatever the overhead of parsing in tex isn't that much, but it looks a bit odd to have that much tex macros in plain which you then throw away before dump, perhaps. I don't know:-)

Argh, git fire

Fire alarm at work, and I was nearly done with what I'm up to

Now in our library waiting to get back in so I can leave!

@DavidCarlisle Could all be in a secondary file: would be shorter than one actually containing the data :-) (If you don't need to save to disk then the processing is easier)

Fire over :-)

@JosephWright how's the laptop?

@MaryStar Avoid \selectlanguage commands in the document as long as possible

\begin{otherlanguage}{english}
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{Extended abstract}%
\begin{abstract}
The extended abstract in English
\end{abstract}
\end{otherlanguage}

I used now this command, but it still doesn't appear... @egreg

@MaryStar you've been here long enough that you know examples are pretty useless if they don't reproduce the problem. lots of classes define abstracts in lots of ways, just posting a fragment isn't that useful.

@MaryStar \chapter* in the extended summary? Oh, no, it is not going to work.

So should I write "Summary of Chapter i" without \chapter ? @egreg

@MaryStar Aren't you looking for \part*{Extended abstract}?

@MaryStar \chapter* would create a new page: are you sure you want it?

@MaryStar Or \chapter*{Extended summary} with \section* for the various chapters.

I want to write for each chapter and for each section of the thesis a summary at the extended abstract. @egreg

@MaryStar And so? You aren't writing chapters, are you? You're just referencing to chapters.

Yes... So what command should I use? @egreg

@egreg This one?

@MaryStar What I said before: \chapter*{Extended summary} to start the summary, and \section* for each chapter, \subsection* for each section.

Ok... Thank you!! :-) @egreg

So I don't have to use \begin{abstract} ... \end{abstract}, do I? @egreg

@MaryStar No, it wouldn't make sense.

Ok... Thanks again!! @egreg
