@nuttyaboutnatty do you use \@for\tmp:=H\do{\tmp}\@for\tmp:=e\do{\tmp}\@for\tmp:=l\do{\tmp}\@for\tmp:=l\do{\tmp}\@for\tmp:=o\do{\tmp} to write Hello for similar reasons?
@nuttyaboutnatty because usually it just makes it look worse. Either you specify a width that is too narrow and cramp the text or too wide and introduce ugly space, and if you specify exactly the right width then that's the space l would have used.
It is common in mathematics to write tensor products like U\otimes_K V, if the sclalar field is called K. I wonder if this is the right way to notate this? \otimes is usually a binary operator, but does TeX still see it this way when I add a subscript to it? Should I perhaps write something like...
@SeanAllred Well, many languages started out without any space between words (Greek, Sanskrit), and some still do (Thai), maybe they’re trying to start a tradition to write English like that.
@ArthurReutenauer I sure hope that tradition isn't coming back. English isn't an inflected language – at least not in the same way as Latin and Greek :) There were very apparent markers for end-of-word and end-of-sentence (and indeed, sometimes a dot was placed between words to make it easier – not often, but sometimes).
@PauloCereda Nothing is stopping you:

I remember being in Latin IV in high school, the only kid in that class, next to the Latin III and Latin II kids in the same classroom/time-slot. Those were fun times. :)
Basically just sat their and read through the Iliad when I wasn't goofing off. Very nice, actually. A little wordy, but nice.
PROTASIS (1.1-7) Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris Italiam fato profugus Laviniaque venit litora, multum ille et terris iactatus et alto vi superum, saevae memorem Iunonis ob iram, multa quoque et bello passus, dum conderet urbem inferretque deos Latio; genus unde Latinum Albanique patres atque altae moenia Romae.
@egreg @SeanAllred I recently took to learning Ancient Greek, from a book that uses the same techniques as for teaching living languages, and comes with recordings. It’s really cool.
@JosephWright They use a reconstituted pronunciation as it’s thought to have been spoken in the 4th century BC. That implies for example that χ is not pronounced the way Knuth would want it to be, but as an aspirated [k]. And φ is an aspirated [p].
This error probably doesn't have anything in common with tex4ht. Try to compile following file with dvilualatex:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[]{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{someimage.png}
\end{document}
The error message is the same. It seems that \includegraphics tries t...
@JosephWright Actually there’s an upper bound (or rather “later bound”) for when β started being pronounced as [v], since the same shape (в) was used to note [v] when the Cyrillic alphabet was devised in the 9th century AD.
@PauloCereda Here’s another duck fact for you: duck is “and“ in Swedish, which is very close to “ande” that means spirit or soul. As it happens, the phrase “den heliga Anden”, meaning the Holy Ghost, can also be understood as the Holy Duck.
@PauloCereda Note that there is a difference in pronunciation (evidently not reflected in spelling): Swedish - like Norwegian - has a tonal system, meaning that “anden” will be pronounced with a different intonation depending on whether it means “the spirit” or “the duck”.
@JosephWright @michal.h21 yes although having that default is optional and for luatex probably should be off, with latex it reads the png and reports no bounding box, but for dvilualatex typically you get fatal utf8 decoding error.....
@michal.h21 dvipdfm has \@namedef{Gin@rule@.png}#1{{bmp}{.xbb}{#1}} so it has an explicit rule for png that tells it not to look in the png file for size info, dvips doesn't so it just falls back to trying the EPS reader
@michal.h21 LuaTeX in DVI mode is rather a niche thing. Moreover, unless you particularly fancy writing a driver I'm not sure who might do it!
@michal.h21 I am meaning to write some graphics inclusion code for expl3 which would need to cover this area, but I suspect I'll take the position that file names should have either no extension or a 'proper' one, so name.png with dvips will lead to an error in all cases :-)
@JosephWright, @michal.h21 first says .png can be included but you need to specify a size, second just removes the default rule to try EPS so you get unknown type error for png
Two things I'm struggling with in the following MWE:
"looooooooooonger text" doesn't fit: don't want the middle and right column to be equally spaced: the maple may move over a little to the right (but should not shift vertically by this operation).

@JosephWright don't know why but I felt lua must have some way of hiding a function call in array syntax, google did the rest lua manual not bad really:-)
@JosephWright it's getting to the point where we could put the remaining bits from the lutexbase emulation and luasupport into ltluatex and rename the result luatexbase version n+1 and most existing users of that (eg fontspec) would just work
@DavidCarlisle I did wonder if this might happen :-)
@DavidCarlisle As long as we cover plain then that's fine by me
@DavidCarlisle I did have a feeling what we were really going to do was take over luatexbase, given the way things for the format code have gone (.ini file stuff)
@JosephWright as you commented on a commit latex (and latex_error()) don't work too well as engine neutral names, and luaotfload needs to refer to something and luatexbase is probably as good a name as any...
@DavidCarlisle If we go that way I still favour a split between stuff in the kernel and stuff that is 'extra'
@DavidCarlisle Do you want to raise with the existing team for that code or should I? What about luatex.sty and things like \newattributeversus\newluatexattribute?
@JosephWright yes but anything that is used by luaotfload isn't very "extra" as its pretty much used every time (so that just about only leaves out the catcodetable stack)
@JosephWright If you notice I had to fudge that in last version of doctest I think we just have to support luatexbase as far as possible and at places where luatex.sty differs just let it go, a new luatex.sty could always force compatibility where needed.
@JosephWright just \newattribute (I think) in some core although probably we need to have some compatibility name duplication option for luatebase and primitive names, to be decided....
@JosephWright yes something like (but not necessary exactly like) the ltluatex.tex. there I kept pretty close to etex.src could move closer to latex's allocation but plain wouldn't have a headline ltnews kind of update so harder to drop things like local allocation and other etex.src goodies. It's OK I think.
@DavidCarlisle OK, so one .dtx? DocStrip out some code for the kernel and some into a package which does 'everything' on plain and 'extras only' on LaTeX?
@JosephWright I'd like to push some of it into an update to etex.src it's a nonsense that that is loaded with the wrong ranges and then you have to patch the macros.
@JosephWright yes, I hadn't realised that it was updated a few years ago with some luatex-specific support (to stop it loading hyphenation) so it not supporting luatex ranges is nonsense.
@JosephWright Probably can't do much before 10 or so, so drop me a line here or email if you want me to pick up, otherwise I'll see where we are tomorrow.
@DavidCarlisle A lot of that comes from graphicx, which comes from xunicode
% \paragraph{\pkg{xunicode}}
% Ross Moore's \pkg{xunicode} package is now automatically loaded for
% users of both \XeLaTeX\ and \LuaLaTeX.
% This package provides backwards compatibility with \LaTeX's methods for ccessing extra
% characters and accents (for example, |\%|, |\$|, |\textbullet|, |\"u|, and
% so on), plus many more Unicode characters.
@DavidCarlisle Only one thing for it: finish LaTeX3 and have all of this sort of thing in-house :-)
@JosephWright Sorry to bother you. This is the second time in the past few days that I see "Community" voting to close (and effectively closing) as duplicate (an example here: tex.stackexchange.com/q/255332/3954). Is this a new feature? What criteria applies in these cases? I mean, when "Community" jumps in to close a post?
@GonzaloMedina Happens if the OP themselves votes as a dupe when they don't have the rep to close: Community does the job for them (as it has mod powers)
@GonzaloMedina After a first dupe vote the OP will get the option to agree
@DavidCarlisle Like I said earlier, I've been thinking about l3graphics
@DavidCarlisle I've very keen we pull the drivers back in-house, as I've already done for the box part in expl3
@DavidCarlisle Heiko's code is all very good, you know
@DavidCarlisle Heiko's code gets loaded so the pdfTeX primitives not present in LuaTeX can be emulated and things can work using \pdf@.... For an L3 version we can sort that
@JosephWright yes but.... thousands of lines of defensive catcode regime checks on dozens of files for what is essentially an empty document, there must be a way to get this to be more maintainable so we can run sandboxed tests using otf fonts but not the entire contrib tex tree:
@DavidCarlisle Like I say, we'll need to talk to Will. I guess a split of the current fontspec code into a core part (perhaps as part of expl3) and an interface layer (providing the current workings)
@DavidCarlisle If you only want luaoftload (to extend the \font primitive) then its much more managable
I know, it's an old topic and I already know about the general functionality of float environments in LaTeX. I want to give it as much freedom as possible and generally like the way of placing floats.
But I have one restriction in writing my thesis: The figure or table must be placed before or o...
@JosephWright I don't think I've really looked at that code since M arrived and now got to go to his last ever primary school event. doesn't time fly....
@DavidCarlisle Certainly seems that way: my nephew is nearly three and it's not five minutes since I spent the whole night in a corridor waiting for my sister to give birth
@DavidCarlisle The code reflects that: I think we basically need to rewrite the code from scratch and keep the ideas
@egreg Yes, thanks for the encouragement. Most of the time I just google the question and copy the code. I tried many times to read the manuals and understand the code, but I guess I'm missing a general picture of latex, and the details of all kinds of packages are drowning. But I will keep trying.
@JosephWright That's what brought me to CRC32 too. :) arara 4.0 uses CRC32 in the database methods because it's probably the fastest and simplest algorithm available; I could also change it to MD5, but I decided to bite the bullet and leave things as they are. :) Both methods have collisions, but I think that, for my specific case, they are good enough. :)

@JosephWright If you would browse around golatex.de and latex-community.org/forum a bit, is the performance ok now? I did some things. (got valid complaints earlier)
@PauloCereda I mention texdoc.net a 1000 times in my new book! It's handy to give links to the manual (always together with the local texdoc pkg hint) for detailed things
@StefanKottwitz Well the tag itself isn't necessarily bad, IMO, but at the same time, large scale tagging sprees aren't too helpful, especially when the tag itself isn't being added due to some major tagging issue raised on meta, for example.
@JosephWright Hey, yes, I just read your discussion. I am sorry. I just thought it might make sense to see whether the questions are language specific and tag them. Didn't know it would raise a problem.
