Q: Titlepage messing up the section numbers

Philippe FanaroI'm trying to edit the title page but now everytime I do the section numbers get messed up (for example the section Obectives is numbered 0.1 when normally it should be just 1). In the example below I'm even using the example on the Wikibooks Title Creation Page \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{repo...

@PauloCereda It is a shame that there are neither ducks nor penguins nor wombats.

Q: Why are terminal consoles still used?

DevinAs we all know, terminal consoles come from a time where there wasn't any chance of graphical interfaces, so the need for them is more than obvious. With the appearance of graphical interfaces, many new applications were possible, but also most of those text-only programs moved to its graphical ...

Q: Questions which are bug reports, revisited

Joseph WrightSome time ago, I asked how we should handle bug reports: Questions which are bug reports. The top answer at the time split questions into two Those which are asked where is seems clear that the poster knows they are bug reports Those where it becomes clear they are due to bugs or where this is ...

@JosephWright far too many diffs in base :(

I am looking into Czech hyphenation and there does not appear to be publicly available dictionary or algorithm. So I am looking at how LaTeX does it. I have found texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/csplain/base/czhyphen.tex, however I do not understand the notation and how it is used. Is there a documentation for the hyphenation engine?
 
@wilx texbook, has info or texdoc patgen (which is the original way of making the patterns from hyphenated word lists, although some languages use hand constructed patterns according to rules)
@wilx latex won't be using the csplain files, although the format is the same of course plain and latex use the ones under /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/generic/hyph-utf8
 
@DavidCarlisle OK.
 
@wilx basically the pattern format is substrings of words with good and bad hyphen points distinguished by odd and even numbers

This is depressing... (still grading exams)
 
@yo' Oh, it is indeed
 
yo'
@JosephWright I mean, the first seven pieces today (the max score is 100): 25, 10, 08, 10, 23, 50, 13
 
@yo' Oh joy
 
yo'
needless to say, this exam did not contain any wicked problem, all the problems were very standard ones with very standard solutions.
next three: 40, 05, 35. I'm worried to open the next one
 
@JosephWright see the l3 prop list question?
 
9:11 PM
@DavidCarlisle Answering now (unless you beat me to it)
 
@JosephWright No prop list internals have probably changed since I looked hard at them:-)
@JosephWright argggggggggggggggggggggggggggg located source of diffs
 
@DavidCarlisle Do tell
 
This
....\hbox(8.64003+2.5)x345.0, glue set 296.30202fil
.....\mathon
.....\glue 25.0
is not this
....\hbox(8.64003+2.5)x345.0, glue set 296.30199fil
.....\mathon
.....\glue 25.00003
 
@DavidCarlisle Hope my answer makes sense: do you remember details of prop implementation where is had the weird csname stuff?
@DavidCarlisle Ah, slight difference in metrics?
 
i put everything back to OT1/cmr but test2e.tex is inlcuded after article.cls has set \mathindent here to lengths based on em and and lm em isn't a cm one...
 
9:24 PM
@DavidCarlisle Ah
 
@JosephWright sorry will look, was looking at diff files. Of course back then we were very constrained in number of csnames.
 
@DavidCarlisle I did say that
 
@JosephWright yep read it now, looks about right:-)
@JosephWright is there an easy way in l3build to copy in a fonttext.cfg after the unpack but before the format is built? (although if I do it that way it would be harder to ever add specific tests that are testing xetex with opentype, but it might still be best for the kernel tests)
 
@DavidCarlisle The format-building is custom code for the kernel, so you can simply edit the relevant stuff into the Lua code
 
@JosephWright I'm not quite sure if today "we (mostly) don't worry about running out of csnames". I managed to run out of them quite easily some month ago ;-). See tex.stackexchange.com/questions/316999/…
 
9:32 PM
@JosephWright ah yes..
 
@UlrikeFischer OK, I'll modify

@JosephWright the average score of the tests graded so far (about a half of all): 36/100 :-(
