@Kurt For whatever it is worth, I wrote an answer. Actually, 2 because it was too long for only 1, apparently. (I do find the system annoying at times!)
I'm coding a TeX file and although the .pdf is correctly rendered, I'm using "stone age" tools to code it. As some examples, I use \\ to leave a line space between two paragraphs, or \noindent in every paragraph I start. Basically, I'm just using the basic TeX data I have to code a paper, but I'm...
I tried to insert an image with the following line, but it doesn't work, keeps saying the image doesn't exist. Why is that?
\includegraphics{{C:/Users/XYZ/Pictures/Rplot01.jpg}}
@egreg yes I meant to use -l on grep but anyway between those and 10001 thesis documents using it in title pages, I don't think removing it from 2e is an option:-)
@Johannes_B anything bad you can say about \centerline you can also say about \hbox so it doesn't really make sense to remove one without the other. the pure l3 format code does exactly that, undefining all the primitives (and not defining old plain tex macros) but it's not an overwhelmingly popular idea and is anyway not usable in practice until more of the structure is built on top of a new format
@DavidCarlisle @egreg You may know that i kinda took over one of the templates on that site. The worst one. Until i did that, the zip file included some Missing packages: rotating (\def\filedate{1995/08/22}), \ProvidesPackage{subfigure}[1995/03/06 v2.0 subfigure package] and others.
@barbarabeeton yeah they did. We've got some medical issues, but we're allover ok. (We have got head lice infection, and then one child cut -- 1 stitch, and 2 children cut a bit more seriously with ligaments damaged. And, quite many ticks.) (Also, note that we've got more girls than boys recently...)
@Johannes_B well, in general, the risk of infection in bleeding injuries is quite small, and these were bleeding. As well, the surgeons/orthopedists check the last TAT date each time we visit the hospital.
@yo' When i got my first pocket knive, my friend stabbed himself in the forearm (stupid kids). He was bleeding like crazy and the local police station was just 20 meters away. As they didn't have scissors in their medi-kit, he cut the bandage with the knive himself :-)
@yo' -- i hope the ticks there don't carry infections. around here, they carry lyme disease (often not detected until it becomes seriously chronic), and occasionally rocky mountain spotted fever (nasty, but curable if you survive). lyme disease is carried by deer ticks (tiny things), rocky mountain spotted fever by dog ticks (which are big enough to see). hence careful inspection after visiting an area where ticks are present.
@yo' that white stuff that they rolled around the arm. Though it could have been something else. At the time, i was feeling a little bit dizzy. Quite a bit of blood for us kids. If i recall correctly, he needed 4 stitches.
@barbarabeeton about 20% of ticks are infectious with either the lyme borreliosis or the encephalitis. About every third tick not removed within 12 hours from biting means infection. So actually, it's possible that many people here have caught the borreliosis here.
@Johannes_B 4 stitches is fine. The boy this year got stitches on the ligament, then stitches on the hypodermis and then 3 stitches on the skin.
@Johannes_B yeah. Well, we've got some funny stories from the surgical ambulance :) (we've been guests there more or less every year for the last 12 years or so)
@Johannes_B mostly it's the daily shift :) But yeah, I think some of the doctors and nurses there remember me by face
I mean, the two children got the very same injury within 1 hour from each other. When the nurse called us in, she shouted something like: "Where are the camp axes?"
@yo' The problem is that most of us who could actually make this a good thing (assuming it's even possible) don't have the time or inclination to do so. And the problem is that it may start to get lots of google hits if it takes off.
I have the following minimal working example:
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
é canção
\end{document}
I need to use the utf8 argument in order to have special characters in a simpler way and I need the T1 argument in order to copy ...
As for the math support it does but amazingly enough it's the TeX math engine(if I shall call it though)
integrated in it. One will type [ ] or $$ for inline and display and between the same way one typeset math in TeX I mean the very same commands and gets a live view in wysiwyg of the document.
@nima we use it at work, it's not that clear really how much it's still real tex, it accepts a subset of the syntax and (I think) was originally based on a version of the tex sources, but it doesn't actually use a tex program. So whether you say it uses tex for maths or uses a program using the same layout rules as tex for math is a matter of choice of definitions
