I'm using Emacs 23 with AUCTeX/preview-LaTeX for all my LaTeX editing. Mostly I am very happy with this, but I do not like the included graphics previewed in full size. For now my solution is to disable preview for floats and graphics, but what would be really nice would be to get a thumbnail pre...
I'm developping a framework for managing LaTeX project's dependencies but I can't figure out if there is a simple way of getting a preprocessed LaTeX file.
For instance, if my main.tex looks like :
\documentclass{article}
...
\newcommand{\specialpath}[0]{../foo/}
\input{\specialpath extracomman...
@lockstep It's about why TeX.SX is a great place for package authors and maintainers. If you would like, you could get an account on the blog for reading it (and writing later).
When working with EMACS+AUCTEX I encountered the problem of proper indentation when using the algorithmic package.
In this MWE:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{algorithmic}
\begin{document}
\begin{algorithmic}
\IF {list.first $\neq x_{min}$}
\STATE bla
\STATE bla 2
\ENDIF
\...
I want to stress I cannot understand why this part in the code below does not result in many arima results
for(i in 1:ncol(f))
{
arima(na.omit(f[,i]));
}
but this does
arima(na.omit(f[,1]));
arima(na.omit(f[,2]));
arima(na.omit(f[,3]));
arima(na.omit(f[,4]));
This is something very uni...
I recently became a member of the sister site spanish.stackexchange.com (now on public beta). I would like to propose there something similar to our meta.tex.stackexchange.com/q/430/3954. Would it be OK (to TeX.sx community) if I borrow some of the blocks here to be used in spanixh.sx? Should I ask this on meta?
I'm reading the Bugzilla entry for LibreOffice and Java 7. One user wrote the following: "I thought LibreOffice devs were trying to get rid of any dependence on java anyway. Perhaps moving to python instead?" Yes, go for it! Python 2.5/2.6/2.7/3.0/3.1/3.2, everything is so easy. [:set sarcasmmode on]
@GonzaloMedina Cool! You will surely be a great mod! :)
Sorry, I can resist. Another pearl: "I have uninstalled LO today and installed Microsoft Office 2010; it works fine with Java 1.7 - in fact it works fine even without JRE."
Why is it so hard to find TeX sources in C? I know the full source code is included in the tex.web and pdftex.web files, but isn't there any way to convert them to plain C code?
@PauloCereda looks good for being published! I missed a link for rubber, but noticed that the link at the top was just hard to see because of the code markup.
@StefanKottwitz Great, I'll publish it. :) Sorry, I usually hide links. :)
@Stefan: BTW I renamed the "birthday celebrations - interviews" chatroom to "TeXtalk - interviews". Could you unfreeze it? chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/info/1728/…
@YiannisLazarides I too was a bit surprised that TeX finishes the paragraph without inserting \par as it does in all the other cases. Maybe Knuth had some application in mind or it's just an oversight.
@egreg Surely Knuth was thinking of something. Sometime back I went through all the Pascal code, with the exception of the gotos everything was well planned.
@egreg I think within the vbox the "par" was not showing in my example, due to grouping. Similar to if you end up the paragraph with {\par}, it will restore previous values.
@YiannisLazarides No, you redefine \par outside the \vbox, so the definition inside is the same as outside. When you do {\par}, \hangindent, \hangafterand \parshape are restored inside the group, so the restoration is forgotten. But your redefined \par doesn't redefine itself. Try \let\par\relax\vbox{a\show\par}: TeX will say that \par is \relax (but it will terminate the paragraph and the vbox will be as wide as \hsize).
Next blog post: "Here we have the TeXbook. We all know TeX is a typesetting system designed by Donald Knuth. We can produce beautiful documents... but will it blend?" /me gets an industrial blender, puts the TeXbook inside and turn it on. Then the following phrase appears, "YES IT BLENDS!"
@PauloCereda I think the beauty of TeX is that it is like sudoku :) That's what should come out of a blending machine:) or maybe a crossword puzzle with uncial fonts!
The concepts of forward-search and inverse-search are very closely related. Therefore I suggest to create a new forward-inverse-search tag, make forward-search (7 questions) and inverse-search (9 questions) synonyms of the new tag and merge the existing questions. (Note: 4 questions feature both ...
@egreg Agreed! The author of the patch said in the tracker, "I've submitted this patch ages ago to the upstream maintainer, but have never received any response."
@PauloCereda Remember that you're TeXcommunicated; as reparation you have to solve 2^4 exercises of the TeXbook, without peeking at the solution, of course.
@PauloCereda Do you know about the story of emperor Henry IV and pope Gregory VII? The emperor had been excommunicated, so he went to the Pope who was at the Canossa castle and stayed for some days kneeling on the snow to get pardoned? I remember well their names. Guess why. :)
@egreg Ah I didn't know! :) I only know "kneel on corn", it's a common expression here. :) But I won't need to do that, will I? :) Henry Gregory is cool! It's like Victor Borge said about Giuseppe Verdi: "The next opera is by Giuseppe Verdi. Joe Green to you." :)
Now and then, a questioner will be given the advice in comments that his/her question would be more appropriate at another SE site (say, a question about LaTeX would fare better at tex.sx than at stackoverflow). Sometimes, the questioner will then proceed to ask a carbon copy of the same questio...
@PauloCereda Don't forget the regular "focaccia genovese" (flat bread made with wheat flour and olive oil), but also another speciality of Liguria: the "focaccia al formaggio di Recco"
