@RomainPicot I see -- /sob.... and I have so few Gold badges ... ;-)
@Werner: Is the macro expansion and rowcolor really a dupe of the one you provided? As far as I can see, the answers there does not address the macro issue
I would like to alternate row colors in a tabular environment. I found colortbl useful. To simplify writing, I built the following macros to alternate row colors (see MWE below). However, I cannot understand why the \crc macro cannot coexist with a \multicolumn, whereas \rca or \rcb work like a c...
@DavidCarlisle Travis-CI testing working with TL'16: more of an effort than I'd expected (LuaTeX changes small, packaging changes for TL itself much bigger!)
@ChristianHupfer In this case I think there is no need of information from the external document. If it was the thesis put on CV it might be different obviously ^^
@ChristianHupfer @Werner: I don't think it is a duplicate. The problem is here that due to the inner \gdef you have a non-expandable command before the \multicolumn.
@UlrikeFischer technically it is a duplicate as the gdef means \rowcolor isn't at the start of a row, but that's probably not the way a user sees it, I'd vote reopen, (@ChristianHupfer ,@Werner) (and magically it re-opens:-)
expl3 doubt: I just wrote a way of doing recursive replacement in a token list (here), but it relies on the fact that it's x-expanded, so it leaves everything behind and, since it's x-expaned it works correctly (unless there were problems I haven't foreseen). Is the f-expansion doable? How does one stop f-expansion? I mean, what I think could be possible would be to carry everything and use :ff arguments, but how do I stop that?
What's (if it exists) the \unexpanded{..} of f-expansion?

@ChristianHupfer @HenriMenke well you die but same true (in a worse way) if you use a latex 3 quark as a terminator and accidentally hit it (as then you loop forever and the program hangs)
@ChristianHupfer you probably will, in the end. Don't think of it as "scratched" think of it as "patina", it adds value.
@DavidCarlisle I think it is more dangerous with \end. You might not notice that your loop terminated prematurely, when the TeX run just finishes without error.
@DavidCarlisle I admit, that I did a stupid mistake once, where I had \end{document} somewhere mid-text and wondered why my other chapters didn't show up in the PDF.
@DavidCarlisle That's why I'm somewhat biased against \end ;)
@HenriMenke true but if you were running on a batch university machine and charged by the second, an infinite loop is not popular (which is the standard processing model in the age tex comes from:-)
@ChristianHupfer these things are not always in our control, it's like insisting on producing film on betamax, if all the hardware has gone, it might be time to switch to vhs.
@ChristianHupfer no, you'll be OK: development will be sponsored by Microsoft and lua will be replaced by a new lua.net running in .NET framework 6. The relationship between Lua and Lua.NET will be like that of VB and VB.NET or Java and JavaScript, so you'll be able to transfer your skills easily.
@PauloCereda I could have one but disk is full so I'll wait until new machine I think, (I did get a new bigger ssd disk but didn't work out to well so I reverted back to how it was so I could get stuff done) (drawing donkeys and other important things)
@JosephWright I've been looking into the biblatex code to see if there's a simple way around the _ problem. It seems that the problem is in biblatex_.def, but I don't see a good way to hook into that.
@UlrikeFischer The gb4e package makes _ active (bad idea I know, but really useful) and now biblatex is unusable with it.

@AlanMunn I get no error from ^^^ but I don't know what the output is supposed to be:-)
Hi all, two basic questions that i don't know how to search. How can I print a character knowing its code value? and how can I print the code value from a character? I would like to build a displacement code function, if the input is "abcde" and the displaçament 1, the result should be "bcdef". Any idea where to find it?
@AlanMunn @DavidCarlisle @egreg: And even more problematic is that gb4e makes ^ active. I at first loaded gb4e before biblatex and a ^^J in logreq lead to an loop. One should imho really use \noautomath and if need \automath after \begin{document}. In the preamble this setting can only do a lot of harm.
@AlanMunn etex primitive like \protected so one downside is that it doesn't work in classic tex. otherwise it depends on how it's used. In _{wibble} if used in a context where \protected or \ifincsname kicks in wibble will expand rather than be taken as the argument of _ which might or might not do the wrong thing
@AlanMunn other than that, apart from the fact it's untested code for compatibility between two packages I've not used, what could go wrong?
\usepackage {amsmath} The package inputenc has already been loaded with options: [utf8,] There has now been an attempt to load it with options [latin9] Adding the global options: utf8,,latin9 to your \documentclass declaration may fix this. Try typing <return> to proceed.
As mentioned similar quostion here but the CLS file uses the document class Report. It seems that easiest is to set up local aaltothesis.layout file for your thesis, not working yet: errors documented below. Other option is to put it under /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/layouts/ but so ...
@hhh Works fine (would take you all of 10 seconds to test that, by the way). As David says, as long as the input encoding and inputenc encoding match, you should be fine.
The above screenshot shows that I am now on peculiar aaltothesis.sty not found err, well that was not provided to me, only aalthothesis.cls, aalthologo.sty :/
@hhh as I said in the answer to your question the other day just put aalthologo.sty into google and the first page is a university page where you can download that
@TorbjørnT. yes well comment wasn't really aimed at you:-) (despite the fact you got the ping)
@hhh why don't you get a simple aalthothesis document working first in latex before worrying about lyx, since that will be a pre-requisite anyway and will confirm you have all the right files.
Which one is better suited for Lyx? CLS or STY? There is an old STY file out there while the new CLS file for this tex.stackexchange.com/a/313511/2956.
i was trying to install LaTeX (texlive-full/pdflatex) in Red Hat´s OpenShift. I created a NodeJS Project and opend a SSH connection to my OpenShift Server. The problem is, that i have no command to install anything like apt-get/aptitude.
How can i install anything on my OpenShift server?
@hhh This is an undefined question, really. There is a lot of variation in the requirements for theses. In the US, where I am, each university imposes awful formatting requirements for theses. In Europe things are more open, usually.
@egreg I'm currently dealing with "new" requirements now. Even though at least two students just submitted their theses successfully with exactly the same version of the class that is being rejected. Grrr.
A number should have been here; I inserted `0'. (If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number, look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)

@barbarabeeton I think that's a big part of the problem. And they don't know how to measure. Some measure to baselines and some measure to tops of letters (I'm not kidding). And all love exercising the minuscule bit of power they have been granted.
@AlanMunn -- clearly they need some training. (i keep telling people here that the people who are doing the work can't, or shouldn't, be held responsible for things that they've never been trained to do properly. of course, it usually falls on deaf ears ...)
@DavidCarlisle -- well, my promised collection of bugs will be delayed again. i'm getting a new workstation tomorrow, and still have a bunch of stuff that will disappear if i don't make an effort to preserve it.
@barbarabeeton The sad part about it is that in reality the majority of dissertations probably never get read in their dissertation form so having such consistency of formatting is a bit of a fools errand. Linguistics is actually one of the few fields I know where dissertations are actually part of the primary literature of the field, but people in other fields find this very odd.
@hhh use \value{page} not \thepage but really just push it back to the authors of the class, or use a different class, end users should not have to debug the class file.
@AlanMunn well, I was "kindly asked" by my supervisors to make the thesis one long document. I'm not unhappy, seeing the result. And actually, for many of the students here, someone's thesis is a good starting point, so...
@barbarabeeton :) Maybe. But certainly in the lab sciences theses tend to be more stapled together papers than actual monographs. So people just read the papers.
@yo' Yes, one of the nice things about theses for students is that they usually presuppose less of the literature and do a bit of review, which rarely makes it into published papers. So theses can often times be much easier to read than articles.

Re-reading my answer, I hope I'm not too rude myself.
Plan A: Aaltothesis.cls --> err: why macros not working?
\newcommand*{\dep@rtment}{}% variable \newcommand*{\department}[1]{\renewcommand*{\dep@rtment}{#1}}% User command
Plan B: [aalto-thesis.sty](https://github.com/nablaa/aalto-thesis-latex/blob/master/aalto-thesis.sty) from 2011.
Example files compile in both A and B but they are not designed to work in LyX, haven't got A working in LyX yet. I have working files for TexMate for B.
@hhh well, none of my two classes work in LyX I think (I never checked). LyX is not a "plug in a class or a package and it will work" thing. Making class work with LyX can be a tremendous work, not worth it IMHO (well, LyX is not worth it IMHO, but that's another thing).
@hhh well, I think that relying you'll manage to smoothly go from LyX to LaTeX on the last day is a bad idea. I would switch to LaTeX (TeXmate, TeXworks, vim, Emacs, Notepad, whatever) as soon as possible to avoid last-minute complications.
@hhh you're welcome. I mean, now you have some time to fiddle with stuff and learn something new you may know in LyX but not in LaTeX. You won't have this time close to the deadline.
