@tohecz Yeah but I should be careful. I accidentally pissed off a user in my comments and did not know how to respond without possibly making it worse...
To use the alignat environment, you need to keep in mind that alignat yields pairs of r/l aligned equations, so you need to use a double && to skip past the right aligned column so that you are aligning things on the left:
Furthermore, if you want to also align the + sign you can use a...
@NicolaTalbot You won't have to miss out on UK-TUG's meeting this year, at list virtually. I'm currently converting the recordings I made to Vimeo videos!
@PeterGrill I don't think Joseph's mic picked up the discussion about the fact that I was stuck in a basement in Trinity at the meeting with no internet which was allowing you far too much freedom to get ahead
@JosephWright Actually I was looking for a different duplicate (I have given that excuse somewhere on site before) but that one came at first and seems as good as any:-)
@JosephWright all the better to hear chinking of coffee cups:-)
@JosephWright I was half wondering to offer to re-record an audio track in a cleaner sound environment (but you lose the questions/interruptions that way)
@MartinSchröder babrbara might know. When I was trying it as a test on sun 3s circa 87 it took several minutes as I recall.
speaking of blogs and the uktig meeting. In discussion at the end we were discussing accessible math and I showed a couple of people a long division generator and it being spoken by mathplayer, that evening I fixed a few bigs and posted it to dpcarlisle.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/mathml-long-division.html
how to replace [?] with the actual numerical citation.
I'm trying to create a bilbiography in Winshell from a database (.bib file). Within the bib file, I click on pdflatex, then bibtek, then pdflatex twice, and then pdf.
My pdf shows [?] for numerical citations and no complete bibliography.
Pl...
@DavidCarlisle's video with better sound is now available (vimeo.com/51900661). I've removed the first attempt: it had had 5 views, but I think it's best to keep things a bit clearer :-)
@DavidCarlisle Also following on from UK-TUG, I meant to do this but forgot. I have a mathematical (MathML) webpage that I converted to epub a while back and loaded in to iBook. It looked horrible then, I recall, but when I looked at it this morning (there have been a few updates in the meantime) then it wasn't too bad. No where near perfect, but not too far off usable.
@DavidCarlisle No OS X's were involved in the process, so far as I remember. iBooks is running on my iPad and I did the conversion from webpage to epub using calibre on my linux machine.
@AndrewStacey sorry I do really know that ipads's don't run os x (at least I know that when I'm awake:-)
@AndrewStacey so does calibre have epub3 support now or is it epub2 with mathml just included and not filtered out even though it wasn't strictly valid in epub2?
@DavidCarlisle Ack, I did the conversion a while ago soon after epub3 came out so I don't remember all the details. I do remember that calibre was the only one of a few that gave me anything even close.
Friends, do we have in meta anything along the lines of accepting anonymous edits? I stumbled upon an anonymous edit yesterday which was actually very good, but I went for "Not sure". I think we should only consider edits made by registered people here. Thoughts?
@PauloCereda Thanks for the welcome. I'm afraid I'm not very good with this chatting business. My chat tends to run along the lines of, "the weather's lousy. I think I'm going to have to light the fire." But anyway, thought I'd try to be sociable :-)
@NicolaTalbot That's OK, the thing is to try to insert a cricket reference in as often as possible, as @PauloCereda likes to keep up with the latest scores.
@DavidCarlisle: we also need a longtable example. :)
Maybe for next year's meeting. :P
We talk about lots of things here, soccer, travel, food, music, bugs undocumented features in longtable, ducks, emacs, torus, engineers, linguistics, cheese, Monty Python... sometimes we also talk about TeX. :P
@PauloCereda speaking of Monty Python, Michael Palin is just about to start a new series telling us all about Brazil, not sure if you'll be able to access iplayer from there (or at least admit to doing so:-)
@JosephWright A new user keeps asking new questions about essentially the same topic instead of editing the original question. Here's the latetest one. Please check and, if possible, close all but one questions.
@PauloCereda ducks? As in what I'm mostly likely to get playing cricket? (I've always preferred bowling to batting as the ball's going away from me. I've never liked the idea of a hard object heading towards me at high speeds.)
How do you correct an undefined citation? I've clicked the BibTex option several times to let Latex automatically recognize the new references, but this isn't working.

@keith Please pop into the chat room to discuss your issue. Your questions are all essentially the same, and have the same answer (you need to run BibTeX at the appropriate point).
@NicolaTalbot I have a hard time trying to understand cricket. :) @Joseph and @David tried to explain the rules, but it's still difficult for me to grasp the concepts. The only "variation" I think I almost understood was backyard cricket, which I got hit by the ball when I was a kid (and broke some windows too). :) And I posted some duck-related answers here, so these guys here always make fun of me. :P
@PauloCereda When I was a kid, our summer holidays were basically us accompanying my dad on a week-long cricket tour. If it was sunny, dad played cricket and mum took us kids to the beach. If it was rainy, the cricketers would head for the pub. It often seemed to rain!
@DavidCarlisle Very nice series! :) That's Brazil alright. And what Michael said in the end about people being so friendly and receptive is one of characteristics of Brazil that is so fantastic. The majority of people here doesn't know English at all (let alone our own language which is difficult), but they find a way to communicate with foreigners. :)
@PauloCereda I'm getting the hang of iMovie now. I've worked out how to import without needing to mess with iTunes, etc., and also think I know how to deal with slides so I don't need to play the movie though and do it by hand :-)
@PauloCereda It turns out you can drop stuff straight from Finder into the project, so no need to search iTunes
@PauloCereda On the slides, if you drop in a .png it will have a length of 4s, but you can up to as much as 10 min. You can also mark positions in the audio before adding video. So I'm going to go with that method for the future videos, as I'll have much better control of slide transitions.
I'm doing Simon Dales's talk, and there are no slides, so I need a still image for the entire length
I'm writing a letter, but when I load the EB Garamond font with fontspec, the "--" range in the zip code of who I'm sending to stops being combined into one character like it should be. Do any of you know why/have any suggestions?
That fixed my problem when I had the same problem in another document I'm writing, but it doesn't change anything in this letter.
It's worth noting that the -- is properly formed if written in the body of the letter: it's just the address of the recipient where it is wrong.
It's the -- in the zip code that won't fix: \begin{letter}{[redacted] \\ Department of Zoology \\ Oklahoma State University \\ Stillwater, OK 74078--3052}
@Gnintendo Re your answer to the "include bib or bbl" question: that method wouldn't serve the purpose, since in those cases the editors/publisher don't want to fiddle with BibTeX.
@PauloCereda Thanks :-) The parrot was originally going to be a Norwich canary (the city emblem, not the football club) but the parrot looked more "bookish". A canary would've looked too frivolous!
Proposal for a new W3 standard: MSS: Mathematical Style Sheet. First rule: composition: [left|right] for when a paper's been written with composition the wrong way and you want to make sense of it without turning your head inside out.
@tohecz No, that just means that they wrote the article the way they did the work. I mean for when they write the composition of two functions the wrong way around. As in f g could mean "do f then g" or "do g then f".
@egreg: Thanks a lot. I got it now. This will go a long way for me. Can you guess what I am going to do with it? Designing borders for fancy stuff including certificates, cover pages and ...... :)
@egreg: One more help: :) For Zapf Dingbats the name to be used is pzdr according to the manual. Where/how I can find such coded names for other fonts? (I know only few of them :( though),
@HarishKumar It mostly depend on the font; if a package for it is available, you can find the family name in it and the actual tfm name in the corresponding .fd files. Can you make an example?
@HarishKumar Sorry, no: this is a very obscure corner in LaTeX as there's really no standard for "dingbat" fonts and many developers don't follow the Berry's convention.
@tohecz It's a great font. I wanted to illustrate that TeX didn't always mean Computer Modern, but I like it so much that I'm tempted to use it for my fiction books as well. (Not sure how well that would go down. People have become so used to Times!)
@egreg: Thank you. I am not worried at all! I have safe life jackets here :) If I am getting drowned, I will come here for rescue operation :) Now Number of beers (I owe you) increase by two ;)
@AndrewStacey but that would remove all the fun, also for W3C it would have to get past i18n so be [reading-direction|reverse-reading-direction] not [left|right]and you'd have to produce documents showing of group-theory texts using postfix function operators in a bottom-to-top-right-to-left reading context....
@PauloCereda Of course, this now means that I'm going to have to put my magnum opus to one side and get back to updating "Using LaTeX to Write a PhD Thesis" so that I can get the mortarboard-wearing parrot onto Amazon! (I've added sections on JabRef and biblatex/biber. Now I just need to update the indexing and glossary sections.)
@DavidCarlisle Ah, but if you change the reading direction should you change the composition direction? I guess the argument for x f is that it is in the right order for reading. Does changing reading direction also change things like \to and \mapsto?
@HarishKumar Skype. :) If I were in UK, David and Joseph would have me to take me to a cricket game, and I wanted to go in that James Bond-like ferris wheel. :)
@tohecz I think you might be right. I'll probably just use it in my LaTeX books to keep them in a consistent style. (Although I've also just used it in a teddy bear adoption certificate and that looked quite good.)
@PauloCereda Song going round my head, needs a bit of work: "You can do such a lot with arara, you can use every part of it too. For work or for pleasure, it's a triumph, it's a treasure oh there's nothing that arara cannot do." (A-ha, @Brent.Longborough's arrived. Between him and @DavidCarlisle I suspect *one* at least will get the reference.)

@ガベージコレクタ The "Previous" and "Next" links were done using \Acrobatmenu (with an \ifthenelse to check if it's the first or last page). Similarly for the other links, except for the summary and index, which just link to a \label at the start of those chapters.
@NicolaTalbot Just out of curiosity, what helped you to decide on using Antykwa Torunska? Not in any way a complaint, just that I find it a little hard on the eyes for a long read.
@Brent.Longborough I wanted an alternative to Computer Modern and Times/Helvetica/Courier as there seems to be a misconception that you're stuck with a very limited font range using TeX. I had a look at the font catalogue for a combination of serif, sans-serif and monospaced that went well together, looked good and are free. I'm sorry it's hard on the eyes. (I wasn't expecting it to be a long read, just a dip-in-and-out read.) Maybe I ought to use a different font for the next volume.
@NicolaTalbot That's reasonable, the flight from T/H/C; and to a novice, CM might appear a little, let's say, unusual.! Maths fonts, of course, are an important factor, too.
@NicolaTalbot I hesitate to suggest these sorts of change to any author (if only because I'd be a bit reluctant to adopt them myself). Mathpazo seems like a good option, perhaps with either Palatino or Pagella?
@Brent.Longborough I'm always open to suggestions :-) I'll do some more font trials. But now I ought to sort out some food for my son. Cheerio for now.
Bother. Just had what I thought was an interesting question, only to find that both it and the variant I thought of after finding it had been answered here already. Time for gruntled up-voting, me-thinks.
@PauloCereda Next upload is Jonathan Fine with the second Raspberry Pi talk. It's converting to the correct format now, so with upload and Vimeo give it an hour or so.
The last one to do is TeX Gyre, where I'm trying the 'manual slide placement' approach. I need to listen to the audio to do that, so it needs to be after work.
@Brent.Longborough drat. Sorry, I didn't pick up on that. I used my jpgfdraw app to create the image and forgot it defaults to writing the full path for the included bitmaps.
@DavidCarlisle :-) I felt bad that you were distracted with other TeX related activity so only got a bit ahead of you -- should only take you a day or so at the most to get back. Since I am about to watch the video of your talk, without subtitles :-), I think you'll have plenty of time to get ahead.
Coo, I've earned another badge. This is like playing Angband, where you get experience from unlocking doors or disarming traps. Especially the necromancer bit. I'm half-expecting Sauron or Morgoth to turn up. Maybe I'll find some potions of intelligence lying around and then I'll be able to answer that flowfram question.
Anyone who has read The Lord of the Rings will recognise the Elvish script at the top of the page. If this is meant to be an example of what is typesettable in TeX/related software, what package is used to produce it?
