@Kurzd Apart from the fact that one prints something and the other doesn't, there's no other difference.

@egreg Testing both packages seems to result in the same. lshort suggests loading verbatim, but the comment package is older yet does more things with comments.

@DavidCarlisle Pretty sure this is about the IEEEtran template. tex.stackexchange.com/questions/355673/…

@JosephWright I have some problems tagging this question. What would be appropriate? The question has nothing to do with cvs, nothing with texify. It is just a typo in the bibliography.

@TeXnician Thank you for the explanation!

@CarLaTeX @CarLaTeX You're welcome. But sometimes my posts are even saying this ;)

@TeXnician I saw the code but I've not read the phrase you put before :$

@CarLaTeX Probably you just did not want to be influenced. I also read Brainfuck programs without their comments ;)

@TeXnician As I also told @ChristianHupfer, ages ago I modified some assembler programs on mainframe. I don't know if you know how they are: they have instructions (1:1 with machine language) on the left and comments on the right. My "nice" boss used to copy-paste the instructions and change them but without changing the comments... since then I don't trust comments in codes!

@Kurzd not a lot, verbatim is part of the core latex release whereas comment is a later contributed package so that used to mean more likely that people have verbatim, but these days with miktex and texlive that isn't an issue.

@CarLaTeX I know assembler. But I never comment it. That's why I have no clue what my old programs from years ago exactly do (from the structural side of things).

@TeXnician I can't believe it! There's someone who knows assembler!

@CarLaTeX But nowadays I hate assembler (and am not sure if I still could write bigger programs).

@TeXnician I hated assembler even then! Hahaha

@PauloCereda I managed to hide another Duck in one of my answers. It is not in plain sight though.

@Johannes_B oooh

@Johannes_B @egreg would say placing duck content in answers actually means pleading for upvotes ;- @PauloCereda

@ChristianHupfer yes. :)

@PauloCereda .... Washington D.C. (Washington = Donald. J. T. ) .... Duck Content .. Donald... say no more ;-)

@JosephWright Seen already some days ago, but thanks!

@egreg old frontespiio question. Not compilable. Do you want to have a look at it?

I am not giving any working example to avoid confusion.

@Johannes_B: You can use the following mwe

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics[width=.48\linewidth]{picture.eps}
\end{document}

Now run pdflatex and it will work.

To get an eps file you can use:

cp /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/latex/mwe/example-image-a.eps /Users/marco/Desktop/test/picture.eps

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{example-image.eps}
\end{document}

@MarcoDaniel ^^^^ Doesn't work on my TL15. So something seems to have changed unnoticed to me.

@Johannes_B I am using TL2016

[marco@iMarco]:~:$tex -v
TeX 3.14159265 (TeX Live 2016)

@Johannes_B Works for me with TL 2016

@ChristianHupfer @MarcoDaniel Another reason to update :-)

@Johannes_B this doesn't work on tl16 either (at least on windows): you are trying to use a graphic that is found by kpsewhich. You need to copy it in your local folder if epstopdf should work.

@UlrikeFischer Indeed. So I use cp /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/latex/mwe/example-image-a.eps /Users/marco/Desktop/test/picture.eps or a more generally way: cp $(kpsewhich example-image-a.eps) $HOME/Desktop/test/picture.eps

@ChristianHupfer -- please don't insult donald duck! he at least has/had some redeeming social value, if only as a bad example.

@ChristianHupfer -- taking your comment about tex.stackexchange.com/q/355770 offline. actually, @Johannes_B and i agree quite closely on the matter of "templates". i really object to the substitution of the term "template" for "document class"; but it's not likely to change anyone else's opinion of practice. what i call a template is what is named "*_template.tex" at ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/amscls/doc

@barbarabeeton We still don't have any consense with what a template is.

@Johannes_B -- certainly not a community-wide consensus. maybe i'll write up my opinion in my text tugboat column. (would you be willing to read what i've written before it gets into print?)

@barbarabeeton @ChristianHupfer: Barbara is so right! Please leave him alone! He is in enough trouble as it is:

@barbarabeeton Let's called it weird class then ...

@barbarabeeton Yes, of course.

@egreg Did you ever do anything more with this? tex.stackexchange.com/a/37410/2693

@AlanMunn No.

@egreg, watch any rugby today?

@DavidCarlisle Tell me you had some fear at the end of the first half.

@egreg just saw final scoreline, been out all day, didn't see the match:-)

Hi all. I'm looking at the first code in this answer tex.stackexchange.com/a/278119/99134 and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to remove the lines of longitude? Been searching around and reading documentation, but I can't really find anything

@DavidCarlisle Dear David I have changed my question several times. Is there the possibility to combine these fonts CMEX10, CMMI10, CMMIB10, Greek-roman , RMTMI, Symbol, Times-Bold, Times-Boldltalic, Times-ltalic, Times-Roman? I have seen the link of your fonts RMTMI ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/mt11p?lang=en. But at this moment I have not install MikTeK on my laptop

@TorbjørnT. Hi and good evening

@DavidCarlisle Can you sent me a screenshot for your demo file for testing the mt11p MathTime package? With Papeeria I have this message: That was too much text. Please sign-up to remove text length limits

@TorbjørnT. Can I have your opinion please?

@Sebastiano About what?

@TorbjørnT. tex.stackexchange.com/questions/355320/…

@TorbjørnT. Now is too broad my request?

@Sebastiano Perhaps not, I haven't voted either way. I'm no expert, but it looks like you're mainly asking how to get the Times font for text, and keep the default Computer Modern math font.

Hi to everybody

@Sebastiano what? (I don't have mathtime fonts any more)

@Sebastiano that is just computer modern math with times roman text so any package for times roman will give you that. (computer modern and times are not a good combination, but that is what you are asking for). \usepackage{times} for example will do exactly that.

@DavidCarlisle ok I try.

I go. At the next chat thanks a lot

@Sebastiano but computer modern math and times roman look horrible together. People used to do it at the start as there was essentially no other choice for a math font, but this century there is no need to do that.

@Sebastiano you never answered the question about that link to the pdf file in that question, why do you use an obfuscated google search link? Is that pdf supposed to be public?

@IrregularUser I suggest you make a new question about that problem.

@ChristianHupfer \nicefrac can be used in math mode.

@egreg I know, I only said that I would not use it for real math fractions, e.g. in an equation etc

@ChristianHupfer Yes, but you can easily edit your answer. I know it's a “don't-do-it” type of question: if somebody wants to use “mixed numbers” and “nice fractions”, all we can do is telling them they're wrong, after suggesting how they can obtain such horrors.

@egreg I'll change the answer later on... showing typographical horror ;-)

@egreg I'd say there's one exception where mixed fraction is almost a tradition: measures such as 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour and 3/16" Allen wrench

@yo' Yes: if you look at the question, you'll see that @barbarabeeton stole me the pleasure of talking about recipes.

@egreg ah (didn't see the Q, you didn't reply to a specific Christian's comment)

@egreg whereas the O.P. already mentioned cooking books ;-)

@egreg presumably meaning a name from the past, quite good last century?

@DavidCarlisle :P
