@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!)

Q: How to properly code a TeX file, or at least avoid `badness 10000`

Peter TamaroffI'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...

@JosephWright @DavidCarlisle @egreg Should the question above be marked as duplicate of the Why use \par instead of double backslash? question?
 
6:43 AM
The following question has an accepted answer, but really? The question is unclear, very.

Q: Why I can't insert image with the following code?

mackboxI 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 @UlrikeFischer @DavidCarlisle Are there any new insights concerning tex.stackexchange.com/questions/242064/…?
 
9:33 AM
@Johannes_B I see nothing strange.
 
9:49 AM
@R.Schumacher Yay! Thank you for being part of this community!
@UlrikeFischer Wow!
 
@egreg So, if there is no issue, should the question be closed?

Q: How large is the FULL install of TexLive?

user12711How large is a FULL install of TexLive? (2> and what about the RECOMMENDED install of TeXLive and also MikeTeX?)

 
@egreg ooh that's a nice tour!
@egreg Oh my!
@AlanMunn <3
 
10:08 AM
@HenriMenke You are now a ConTeXt person: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/225627/…
 
10:30 AM
@Johannes_B I don't see the problem in a current context. Imho the question can be closed.
@Johannes_B Works fine for me.
 
@UlrikeFischer So closing this as well.

@PauloCereda Very nice mountains
 
12:59 PM
@egreg @DavidCarlisle If one would remove \centerline from ltboxes.dtx, how many documents would break? What do you think?
 
@Johannes_B No, it's not possible.
 
@egreg What macro needs it?
 
@Johannes_B Older documents might have used it, because they were converted from Plain.
 
@egreg That is to be expected.
 
1:41 PM
@Johannes_B any documents using these for a start:
$ grep '\\centerline' /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/latex/*/*.* | wc -l
227
 
@DavidCarlisle :-(
 
@Johannes_B A more precise count:
ack -l '\\centerline' /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/latex/ | wc -l
    80
 
@egreg :-)
 
yo'
Back home!
 
ack -l '\\centerline' /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/doc/latex/ | wc -l
 142
@Johannes_B See in doc ^^^^
 
1:47 PM
@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:-)
 
@yo' So you survived the camp!
 
[37160][boettchj.Pearl: ltemplates]$ egrep -r centerline * | wc -l
151
@egreg @DavidCarlisle The templates from the template site :-(
 
@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 I wasn't really suggesting to remove it :-)
 
yo'
@egreg Yes, I did! :)
 
1:57 PM
@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.
 
2:36 PM
@DavidCarlisle My plain is to re-enable some of the names, but not as the primitives: whether others agree I don't know
 
2:46 PM
@egreg: The church here is a pokéstop. I tried to throw a pokéball at the priest during the homily, but it didn't work. :)

4:28 PM
@yo' -- you survived, and all your boy scouts did too, i presume. welcome back.
 
yo'
@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...)
 
@yo' Bah, ticks.
@yo' You have to use really sharp knives. :-)
 
yo'
@Johannes_B it was a really sharp axe. Despite it's small, the damage of one finger is quite serious, but the boy will be ok.
 
@yo' Argh, dirty axe in the finger. :-/
 
yo'
@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.
 
4:37 PM
@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'
@Johannes_B you never cut bandage in critical situations :) or you mean the tape?
 
@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.
 
yo'
@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.
 
@yo' Sounds nasty.
 
yo'
4:43 PM
@Johannes_B well, the boy is very sarcastic, and so was the doctor to him :D
 
@yo' Nah, it's just a flesh wound :-D
 
yo'
@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)
 
@yo' :-D
@yo' Calling an ambulance twice a night, same team: Ah, it's you again.
 
yo'
@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' :-)
 
5:24 PM
Quack!
 
yo'
@PauloCereda :)
 
@yo' Tom! <3
 
yo'
6:08 PM
@PauloCereda How do you do? :)
 
@yo' In a hurry as always, but fine. And you, pal?
 
yo'
@PauloCereda relaxed; at home for 5 nights in a row
 
@yo' :)

7:17 PM
@Johannes_B @JosephWright @egreg We've got big problems to come...
 
7:44 PM
@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.
 
yo'
@AlanMunn I'm aware of this problem. And actually, I'm seriously angry at SO for this stupid idea.
 
@yo' Yeah, at least for TeX I think it's an absolutely awful idea.
 
yo'
@AlanMunn Well, we'll see what's going to happen.
Anyway, gotta go
 
@yo' Bye!

Q: Problem copying text from pdf - spaces being stripped

WesleiI 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 ...

@DavidCarlisle @JosephWright Do you know anything about the patch mentioned in Lev Bishop's answer?
 
9:57 PM
This is part of pdftex with a different name, you can use `\pdfglyphtounicode{space}{0020}
\pdfinterwordspaceon ` . See the pdftex documentation.
 
@UlrikeFischer Thanks. I assume then it doesn't work with luatex or xetex, right?

hello guys
I recently had the chance to take a look at PTC Arbortext(related t
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.
sorry wasn't aware of non backslash support. \[\]
 
@nima APP? (PTC have several unrelated programs due to several corporate mergers over the years:-) yes that's basically TeX for the maths
 
yes APP. no one mentioned in that post about its (TeX) math support.
@DavidCarlisle I just wanted to mention it in a comment but the question was 3 years old and thought it might be better to say it in the chat room.
 
11:16 PM
@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
 
@DavidCarlisle Thank you. Have a good night.
