anyone here knows about SVG? For some reason tex4ht generated math (in SVG) no longer displays in firefox or Chrom. i.e. I get blank screen. I have no idea why. I open the SVG file (which should display math on the screen) and look at it in editor, but I do not know what is wrong and why browser do not display it. Something is seriously wrong. I just did full update from TL before this.
This is typical header of one svg file
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!-- This file was generated by dvisvgm 1.15.1 -->
<svg height='44.7157pt' version='1.1' viewBox='72.8715 298.8 128.454 44.7157' width='128.454pt' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' xmlns:xlink='http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink'>
<defs>
All my pages now show blank space where Math is supposed to be there!
@PauloCereda these are all math equations, generated by tex4ht. I clicked on the displayed area in inkscape, but nothing shows, it is just blank. Here is one SVG file. I put it in this folder at my site 12000.org/tmp/063016
called KE404x.svg
I think something in the latest TL update I just did broke something. I rebuild the file again and still all the math shows blank
The SVG file has stuff in it, but the problem is that nothing gets dispayed on my browser.
hummm... I do not understand. Why I get blank on my system? Here is screen shot on firefox
All the empty spaces supposed to display math. I closed the browser and cleared cache. I do not understand what the problem is. Let me reboot the PC. I'll be back in 10 mins after rbooting.
Would anyone be able to help with a font embedding issue? I ran ghostscript over a document created in XeLaTeX and there are very subtle kerning differences between the document.
@Nasser I can see the math. Anyway, nothing changed on tex4ht side, it is only possible that dvisvgm got update and it generates different output than it used to.
@michal.h21 do you see math on it? I see no math. As I said in email, I did not have % at the end of the line I copied. I do not know if has anything to do with it.
@TorbjørnT. yes! No math on my end also. But the corrected version now shows math. Here it is 12000.org/my_notes/mma_matlab_control/KERNEL/KEse7.htm I think the problem was me. I edited latex.4ht and did not put % at end of the line that Michal showed in his answer.
from now on, I will put % at the end of EACH latex line I write. Each line.
Is there a package which adds % at the end of each line automatically?
@michal.h21 yes, that is the problem. I had no idea why that happened. But now it seems OK after I used your official latex.4ht from source control. Only difference I could see is I missed % at end of line., but may be you had something more added to latex.4ht. Very strange
@Nasser this is really strange, this should work only inside code listings, I see no reason why it should cause problems with math. or how it could cause problem in the DVI conversion.
@Nasser worrying about % at the end of the line is the same as worrying aboutspacesbetweenwords if y o u m is s them out or add e x t r a thin gs go w r ong
@Nasser the svg issue seems unlikely to be related to % at end of line since your output worked fine when Michal and I tested it. More likely to be a local issue with your graphics driver not rendering svg for some reason.
I really have no idea why math do not show up. So that is why I kept the old page online for testing. May be there is a problem somewhere else. I do not know.
@michal.h21 I can reproduce this problem very easily. I just have to switch back to latex.4ht which has no % at the end of line. The one I edited by hand. Now I am using latex.4ht from source control and I see the math ok.
There might be conflict with other packages. I am using a very large document with many packages added. On a small file, this might not show up.
@wilx the page you linked to mentioned bold in the irritating sliding pages thing so probably there is supposed to be a bold variant either as a separate font or packaged in the same opentype container, as long as you have it somewhere xetex is supposed to be able to dig it out but as far as I can tell watching the xetex list it's something of a black art, may be worth pinging fontspec issue or mailing the xetex list to check...
it says `bariol regular for free by just paying with a tweet or like. complete family “pay what you want”.` so I guess you don't have the bold unless you make a (possibly zero) contribution
Hey, I was wondering if it's possible to prevent a seperation of chapters in the ToC. I want 4.2 to be displayed completely on page 2 of the ToC: https://s31.postimg.org/4ce1xqoqz/Bildschirmfoto_2016_07_01_um_10_03_41.png
Any ideas (working with LaTeX for 10 hours, so I only have a minimal understanding of it's mechanics)
@TechTreeDev anything's possible but it depends how the toc is being written (different classes do slightly different things) best to make a small complete example on site
Hi guys! I have one problem: I have used \cite[Theorem~2.1]{b} and similar, but now I don't have word References at beginning of bibliography, just list (but without bold word References). Any thought?
@Cortizol \thebibliography is defined to do whatever it does by the class file you are using, so you haven't given any information that would allow anyone to guess why that is empty
I just found a big problem after latest TL update.
I am making a MWE now.
Before I ask the question on main board, any sees any error in this (in case I am not seeing things)
\ifdefined\HCode
\documentclass[12pt]{article}%
\else
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\fi
I used the above for the last 5 years with no problems.
@DavidCarlisle standalone fails to load the child file, when I have the \ifdefined as above in the child. This always always worked. Now it no longer works!
@Nasser actually it might be this bitbucket.org/martin_scharrer/standalone/issues/22/… (using global defs there is definitely wrong!) if you still have tl215 around you could try the older standalone with an otherwise new setup
@DavidCarlisle oh, I see. So this is known issue? I had no idea. Ok, will change the code to remove ifdefined from child files and rebuild everything. I was using special standalone in T2015, Martin made for tex4ht to work. may be that is why I never seen it. Now I am using official standalone. Thanks
@DavidCarlisle thanks. Will keep the question, until someone posts official answer. Might be useful to others. I removed all my \ifdefined so I can compile for now.
@DavidCarlisle the good thing, I no longer have to change standalone each time after TL install to handle this issue:
@JosephWright perhaps it'll take @PauloCereda 10 years to determine the mechanism for delivering the result by which time I'll have forgotten all about it
@macmadness86 I notice you've been using Texpad a lot. Would you be able to do me a favour and send me some .log files from 'local compilation': say one 'simple' doc and one using fontspec?
hi! I've a question that is -imho- not worth a real post: "Why is KOMA-script documentation so ugly?"
Beyond this catchy (but I do hope not offensive) question is the question: my KOMA documents have wide margins, so why does the documentation have a less-than-1em-wide right-margin?!
Is it because of my PDF viewer (see screenshot)? Is it on purpose? I'm curious about it!
@ChristianHupfer this makes sense... I'd however have expected something more fun like "to save pandas, while reducing the number of printed pages by putting more info into a single page" (-;
@Nasser -- have just looked. there are plausible (la)tex math inclusions in the view, and no "odd" blank spaces. using firefox 47.0 (newly installed last week).
@Nasser -- now this one has blank spaces where math would be expected.
@DavidCarlisle svg is same. Never touched the SVG. As I mentioned, I used latex.4ht that I did not add % at end of the line /def-(/string-/:scriptenv:breakhyphen/relax)% and rebuild. Same images. for some reason, they do not display in browser when I remove %
@Nasser oh well that was building the commandline to build the files wasn't it? If you pass the option -- lua instaead of --lua it won't work of course.
@DavidCarlisle I am not sure if I follow. may be we talking about different things here? The issue was that math (SVG) do not show up on the page with the source code on it. This was because I edited latex.4ht myself and did not put % at end of the line that should have % there. When I put % and rebuild everything, the math shows in the browser. This has nothing to do with --lua vs. -- lua? I am using same command. Makefiles.
but now math shows up OK. So there is no issue now. BUt it is strange why svg do not display on those pages there.
@Nasser but in your question you were writing out a system command of the form something --lua something and it was the -- turning into a ligature that was the problem
@Nasser the images are not the same, they have the same path commands but the vieBox are different (presumably wrong in one case) so it is clipping to somewhere where there is no image
@Nasser no you just showed the code above, in the bad case you made it not ligature but turn in to --space so instead of the option --lua you generate an invalid command argument -- lua
@Nasser there is nothing magic about percent the issue is adding or not adding a space after the --
@Nasser I don't see why you are surprised since you posted the exact code causing the problem a few lines up (otherwise I wouldn't have known about it:-) but anyway.
@PauloCereda did R.Schumacher mail you about the duck?
@AlanMunn -- to you (and anyone else in a similar situation) -- have a happy weekend. you have both canada day today, and u.s. independence day on monday to celebrate. so enjoy. hope the weather's nice.
I like to make my PDF legal size now. I think text and images fit better on legal size paper (8.5 in by 14 in) better than on letter size. But it is hard to print them on legal size, but it sure look better.
@DavidCarlisle I couldn't find the optional position argument in the tabularx documentation. Perhaps it's covered by the phrase "essentially the same"? :)
@DavidCarlisle I haven't played video games in decades but this reminds me a bit of those secret Nintendo key codes you could enter to unlock extra powers and defeat the big boss.
@DavidCarlisle @DavidCarlisle Indeed. Maybe that's a sign I'm taking the wrong approach. Perhaps there's a better implementation for what I was trying to do, basically a list in which each list item has several key:value pairs.
@JosephWright Do you know if there's a simple way to apply this technique to the output of the ...cite commands too? It only seems to work for the bibliography itself.
@ChristianHupfer -- i was just looking at the "english" translation of the german wikipedia entry for insel verlag. what an abomination!!! i will never believe google translate again! (i think i can probably write better german than what it does turning a decent german text into english. and that's not a particularly positive statement.)
@AlanMunn @ChristianHupfer is suspecting that some email that @PauloCereda may have received may not have been totally honest and may even have been generated by teh software @barbarabeeton just mentioned.
@DavidCarlisle I put it to you to have published a Hungarian phrasebook written a mail to @PauloCereda with vile aims to get a Duck hand puppet you haven't deserved definitely. ;-) If this is honest I don't know what honest means actually ;-)
@AlanMunn Good friend, for Jesus' sake forbear to dig the dust enclosed here. Blessed be the man that spares these stones, and cursed be he who moves my bones!
@AlanMunn: Haven't read Shakespeare for a while now (well, about ten years). Currently I am reading 'Carrying Albert Home' by Homer Hickam, a funny book
@PauloCereda We should ask @egreg -- he was definitely at Shakespeare's funeral and should know ;-)
@PauloCereda Wow (or better quack, quack). Sorry DavidC, it appears that the duck preferred my pond to yours. So, Paulo how do I get you my address. Thanks for a fun diversion to watch. There are some very creative reasons for specific numbers being chosen. Bob
@yo' -- a couple of those tents bear more than a passing resemblance to native american plains indian tepees. what are they doing in the middle of europe?
@AlanMunn -- it depends on whether there's enough electricity to change the environment to the one necessary for the sport. around here, they tend to stop making ice when the summer solstice approaches. some of the rinks are converted to dance floors for the duration.
ice fishing also takes a hit. and when they have to haul in snow to launch the iditarod, ...
@AlanMunn -- brown had a curling club for a few seasons, and now there's one at one of the local public arenas. i watch, but when i tried it out, i learned that my knees no longer bend reliably enough for it to be safe. (similarly for bowling. i was only ever fond of duckpins or candlepins -- after i chipped an ankle and threw out a shoulder bowling with one of the "lightweight" (only 10lb) balls.)
Somebody asked Bobby Charlton what would their England team do against Iceland; we'd win 1:0, says Bobby Charlton. How come? Just 1:0? Well, says sir Bobby, we're eighty!
In my documents I prefer text in small- and all-caps to be letter spaced. To that end I am using the letterspacing capabilities of the microtype package. Until now (with version 2.5 of microtype) I used to get the exact same result when the text was typeset in the same font via the pdflatex and l...
@egreg and friends: run this and have fun: wget https://gist.github.com/cereda/50ff43abec5d7f1c23d92d23b7223140/raw/swirling-hexagon.tex; pdflatex swirling-hexagon.tex It's a swirling hexagon, I guess... :) — Paulo Cereda13 secs ago
@egreg ^^ I wanted to post it as an answer, but it is closed.
any lualatex expert here? How do I force macro to expand before passing it to lua call? When I pass it now, the literal macro name is passed, not its value. I am doing this:
\def\name{....} \directlua{ format(\name) }
inside Latex, \name as the actual name that the macro expands to (evaluates to) but inside lua, I see "\name" being passed.
fullpath is LUA function I wrote with help of answer here, which find full path of file and adds to it a file name. It works OK on its own, and returns the full path of the file. Then I want to pass this full path to another LUA function
@DavidCarlisle I have no idea. I am writing the question now. I wish someone would write a SIMPLE easy to follow instruction on how all this latex<-->lua stuff is to be used. Currently there is just scattered stuff here and there and it is very confusing. Normally there is an official language reference manual for these things. any way.
Hello everyone,
Slackware 14.2 has just been released as the latest stable version of Slackware. The annoucement is below. Also see slackware.com for more information and links for downloading.
@Nasser -2 is explained in the reference manual, as you commented earlier (section 9.3.10.1 tex.print) the error is simply that your lua code expects a lua string like "/usr/foo/bar" but you are passing it /usr/foo/bar so it complains about the lua syntax
@DavidCarlisle this is really strange. Ok, I changed it to \format{"\name"}% and guess what, it compiles OK on linux but fails on windows ! I have no idea why. Will update so you can see.
@Nasser I was just going to say on windows you'd need to quote the \ but why not use / everywhere. lua strings are same a c or matlab or most other things and \ is special in strings
@DavidCarlisle my file name I pass is always like this: "folder/name" and so when I build the full path, I need to be consistent. on windows I have to change it to "folder\name" to match the directory format that LUA gives me.
@DavidCarlisle OK, I will play with it. .Thanks for your help.
@Nasser are you sure? most windows programs accept / but anyway the lua string "folder\name" doesn't have a \ in the middle, it has \n which is the escape for a newline
@DavidCarlisle I mean, when I compile on windows, LUA returns directory name with "\" separator. On Linux, LUA return directory name with "/". but my file name I pass uses "/" all the time. So I can't mix. Any way, I will work on this more. Now I know about the -2 trick., thanks
