Salutations

I'm amazed how much discussion my last question generated!

@Canageek Even more: Alan Munn wants to enhance his package, as far as I read out of some chat messages. (I just see, he shows this on an update in his answer.)

@Speravir Sweet. I'm glad my off the cuff question improved something

Considering I'd probably write in 3rd person if I wrote a rules system, but I wanted to show off the power of LaTeX to some fellow gamers

and didn't see any easy way of doing that task anyway but LaTeX

OOOH MG @PauloCereda: beamerduck!!!

Input on this policy question most welcome

From Manishearth's answer, reviewing posts you voted to close after edits seems to be explicitly welcomed.

@CharlesStewart of course it is! Or do I miss something?

@tohecz It wasn't clear to me that reediting of posts was being treated as a special case for reopen reviews.

@CharlesStewart obviously is ;) It makes sense since you won't vote to reopen if you closed, but you would after it was improved

Psmith 2.0 is getting cooler!

@KannappanSampath Err... still deploying. :)

@PauloCereda Hah, I see. OK.

@PauloCereda Paulo, would be glad if I can catch you off the chat (Google Chat, please?)

@KannappanSampath I can't connect to Chat, for some reason. :(

I'm trying.

@PauloCereda Oops! I shall wait. No hurry at all.

@PauloCereda Is he going to choose Emacs every time he's asked about it?

!!/help

@egreg We can have a better algorithm. :)

@egreg Is there a language in which this "word": "ATYOKIYS" makes sense?

@KannappanSampath Greek?

@PauloCereda Hmm, I don't know. I'd be glad to know if it has a meaning.

@KannappanSampath Ιτ μαυ δεπενδ ον τηε σψριπτ. Oh, wait, let me change keyboard. No hit with Google for Greek, and the final S is not Greek. It's not cyrillic either.

@egreg I see. That's fine.

I was just guessing that this word might have a remote meaning in some language. I just am unsure what it means.

@KannappanSampath If the problem is whether somebody may interpret an acronym as an insult or a profanity, then it's quite difficult to solve. A very innocent Russian and Bulgarian word, which even comes from Italian, is Касса (the place where you pay, say in a general store). But when Italians read it, well, at least they grin.

@egreg Hmm, the language beast! The problem is, I heard this word and I am not sure what to make of it. I have plans if this indeed has a profound meaning.

@KannappanSampath Heard? Well it's sometimes hard to guess a good spelling from an unknown word.

@egreg Yes, heard from an Italian visitor sometime ago!

@KannappanSampath Hmm, longer Italian words never end with a consonant.

@egreg Oops! I must have not heard properly.

Never mind.

I expanded it as an acronym: All that you ought to know in your sleep.

@KannappanSampath @AlanMunn might say something about this. People try to normalize the sounds they hear to their own language.

@egreg Hmm!

Language beast!!

@egreg Kacca (Or, Kassa) is a nice example indeed :D

And don't forget what is PECTOPAH ;)

@tohecz Do you know the meaning when read in Italian? We really don't have the "K", but it's pronounced as "C" in "cat".

@egreg well, if it's the same body process as in Czech, then I know ;)

@tohecz Probably it is.

@egreg :) But I think that "cassa" exists in Italian in the right meaning

Btw, can you please tell me if you obtain the same strange spacing issue with the following example as I do?

\documentclass{article}

\pagestyle{empty}

\usepackage{amsmath}

\newcommand\mymax{\mathbin{{\max}}{}\mkern1mu}
\newcommand\mymin{\mathbin{{\min}}{}\mkern1mu}
\newcommand\A{\mathcal{A}}

\begin{document}

\[
	\mymax \A_G = 0\cdot\beta + a
\quad\text{ and }\quad
	\mymin \A_L = \lfloor\beta\rfloor\cdot\beta+\lfloor\beta\rfloor-a
\]

\(\max \A_G = \mymin \A_L\)

\end{document}

@tohecz It's a word we exported successfully. :)

@tohecz A mathbin without anything before it becomes an ordinary symbol.

@tohecz But in the second case it has something before it, the ordinary symbol \text{and}, so it's correctly spaced as a mathbin.

@egreg yeah, I changed the code. But then, why max and min differ on the first line? Or \quad is something?

oh ok, crazy. Thanks

@tohecz It should be \max\mathopen{}\mkern1mu, probably: if an open atom follows a mathop, no space is added.

@egreg \mathord{{\max}\mkern1mu\A_L}}, maybe \mathord is not even necessary, but surely works. That's enough for me now ;)

@tohecz It's spaced wrongly if an ordinary symbol precedes it.

@egreg which is never the case for me, but thanks for the information ;)

That's one thing that could be better: customizing math spacing (aka, adding more classes)

@tohecz: About the comments to tex.stackexchange.com/questions/101451/…: Sorry, I didn't mean to step on your toes. I just felt that mafp (and by implication, microarm15) had a point saying that the particular bit of information of which program/package was used to generate the graph was indeed already in the question.

btw, I would never think that kasa (counter) and kapsa (pocket) have the same roots

@tohecz Probably stupid requests by "typography experts" should be simply rejected (if I remember correctly the origin of that \mymax macro).

@Jake Yeah, they probably had. I just asked for clarification and mafp's response somehow excited me the wrong way.

@tohecz Sorry, was not meant that way.

@mafp let's purge the comments, they seem to be unnecessary now

@tohecz "This question was voluntarily removed by its author" Maybe because I said "cross post"

@mafp so he posted it on both sites? I have ~zero rep on SO so I cannot access it

@tohecz it was phrased differently (slightly), asking for other tools like GNUplot, too

@tohecz Btw, as I had a discussion with MarcVanDongen recently, is the question on topic?

@DavidCarlisle KnS_DupeBot Go here

Absolutely Safe for work, or may be not.

@mafp I don't think so. That actually caused my original interested in: What the hell is he using? Asymptote? And what is it? ;)

@tohecz @mafp @Jake Now I'm also an Asymptote expert. ;-)

Unfortunately I've already hit rep cap. Damn! :)

@egreg Hehe, seeing that there's only 28 questions tagged with asymptote that won't have much of an influence on how quickly you'll hit the rep cap in the future =)

btw:

@egreg You haven't got a tables badge though:-)

@David I am sorry if I hurt you.

@DavidCarlisle Nope. :)

@PauloCereda It's "pray for rain" time

!!/answer Weather in Dunedin

Oh Hi @Paulo ! :)

@tohecz Hello! :)

@egreg It's my next goal. :)

@DavidCarlisle The weather forecasts say "partly cloudy".

@egreg yes they have already lost time due to bad light, and losing a whole lot more would be good (although wishing for that would of course be terribly unsporting:-)

@DavidCarlisle Of course, of course. ;-)

@egreg @egreg -- regarding mike downes and one-line "multiline" equations, i'm pretty sure he didn't test those thoroughly. regarding making equation behave like the ams environments, he originally did, but pressure to allow \beq ... \eeq caused him to retract that, hence it doesn't behave the same way. i guess we may need to document that better. (but that may not happen in my lifetime, unless someone can persuade ams that amsmath must be overhauled with some urgency/priority.)

@MarcoDaniel -- question answered, with explanation on how to change the code. since i haven't got "permission" to distribute the changed file, and the change is really simple-minded, this seemed like the easiest way to get the information out.

@barbarabeeton I voted ;-) ... thanks.

@DavidCarlisle -- sorry, i'm still bewildered. (it's still morning, after all.)

@MarcoDaniel It might be somewhat hidden, but the question is what the warning is about, and should be answered with hyperref stuff

@barbarabeeton @PauloCereda is the expert in these things, but basically New Zealand 402/7 * v England 167/10 means that England is losing against New Zealand in the first test. I think it's not the time of day, just your nationality that's the problem:-)

@DavidCarlisle I can't even pronounce cricket properly. :)

@PauloCereda But Psmith can...

@CharlesStewart Hopefully. :)

@mafp Can you reproduce the error?

I'm escaping a web form. I've spent half an hour trying to figure out why I can't post a project review to a Russian site. I'm getting these possibly helpful error messages - in Cyrillic.

@MarcoDaniel ;-) But one can provide an answer nonetheless

Lo :-)

@mafp If the OP wrote or edited the question by adding an MWE, I am sure someone would write an adequate solution. And of course we can reopen the question, too.

:-)

I don't believe it. I have an error in my proof! One day I'll produce a book that has a perfect proof. One day...

@barbarabeeton The \beq and \eeq were a very big nuisance. Who's to blame? LL, IIRC.

@DavidCarlisle -- aha! if you had said just "cricket" instead of "the cricket" i would have figured it out. (it's like i finally learned that "the golf" is how folks over on those islands refer to it.) and in that case, i could have gotten the latest update from my husband, who does follow it. (to me, "the cricket" is the little critter that sits on the hearth, or, if let loose where it shouldn't be, eats clothes, with results rather like those produced by a moth.)

@egreg -- i don't remember who might have been responsible, but it happened pretty early. the diffs-m.txt file, in "Changes in amsmath 2.0 [November 1999]" has this comment: "It is possible now to use \eeq as an abbreviation for \end{equation} (one of the consequences of the preceding change). But still not \eal for \end{align} or certain other display structures." the "preceding change" was the introduction of the (internal) mathdisplay environment. (diffs-m.txt should be in tex live.)

@cmhughes: the question is, which file will indent.plx format? The own file executed by the script?

@PauloCereda Where did you get these information?

@PauloCereda oh I see :) Yes, presumably it would operate on the current file... I know that some editors would be fine with this- can you foresee some problems?

Oh no! I've done so much LaTeX and Perl programming lately, I've forgotten how to write Java!

@egreg First of all I want to reduce the unanswered list ;-) -- Such questions are borderline. In my opinion some or most of the question can be closed as TL.

The line title of the bib-file must be changed: title = {\em {D}ata Mining{:} Introductory and Advanced Topics},

@MarcoDaniel Hm, but I don't get those lower case letters in the journal title. I have the impression that the OP did not test her own MWE, and the real culprit is that in her bib file the journal title is just lower case.

@MarcoDaniel And the \em should really be removed from the title

@mafp I guess he mean title instead of journal name.

@mafp To get a special formatting by using this bibliograpystyle you have to use \em. Of course you can modify the bst-file.

Hello @all In usenet de.comp.text.tex I feel so ignored (Message-ID <dctt-69750490.2013224$18.sph@virsperans.my-fqdn.de>).

32"~bit"=Sys"-teme
\end{document}

@MarcoDaniel Ah, OK. But in her example picture the title is not emphasized, and once you remove the \em you no longer need to protect the captial D.

@Speravir I get another solution

@Speravir Why do you get the 64 bit?

@mafp Indeed.

@MarcoDaniel I see this just now … It’s because I shortened it.

@MarcoDaniel But this means you have the same issue. I wonder why Heiko does not react, either that he confirms or says it’s a babel problem.

@Speravir Can you provide a link to the question?

@Speravir I see the issue but I think it's related to \href. Why do you think it is related to babel?

@Speravir I was stupid. I didn't notice this.

@MarcoDaniel BTW Shorter example uploaded. I already had it locally, but forgot the upload. And I do not believe it’s babel, but I ask myself, why Heiko does not show any reaction.

@MarcoDaniel With link do mean in Google Groups? Let me search …

@MarcoDaniel You are right. Did you notice the upright journal name?

@MarcoDaniel Hmm, not found in Google groups. It gets worse and worse. But see newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/De/de.comp.text.tex/2013-02/…

@mafp No. ;-)

@MarcoDaniel No, it's a book.

@MarcoDaniel Oh wrong, here the Google groups link: groups.google.com/group/de.comp.text.tex/browse_thread/thread/…

@MarcoDaniel Adding formatting information to the bib file should be a real last resort (say, an emphasized word in the original title). The entry is a book and not an article, that's all.

@Speravir Here a solution:

@egreg I confirm your statement Adding formatting information to the bib file should be a real last resort. What do you mean with book?

@MarcoDaniel Wow. But a real solution must be done by Heiko, shouldn’t it?

@Speravir Of course. You can suggest it.

Maybe Heiko is in Gießen.

@MarcoDaniel Maybe, but my question is some days old, and in between Heiko answered to at least one other question.

@Speravir I am sure that the solution has some drawbacks which I can't figure out yet ;-)

@MarcoDaniel Und ich erst recht nicht. :-) (Sorry @all for non-English)

@Speravir LOL

@MarcoDaniel I don't think your answer to tex.stackexchange.com/questions/97842/… is really an answer. This is "too localized", unless a MWE is shown. Next month, probably.

@MarcoDaniel That entry is a book, not an article.

@egreg One month without any reaction. I switched to cw.

@egreg I think based on the wishes of the OP the following must be done too:

@MarcoDaniel @MarcoDaniel earlier today you said that arara works with makeglossaries and should work for Windows- were you assuming TeXlive, or MiKTeX?

Migrated, but too localized (see comment) Probably the infamous BOM problem.

@egreg BOM?

@tohecz Byte Order Mark

@egreg oh

but IIRC, TL won't reopen it on SO

@tohecz It's discouraged in UTF-8 encoded files, but some programs running on a known OS put it nonetheless.

Can somebody with Mac and TeXLive experience help?

@Qrrbrbirlbel not me, just a notice: you can start your own chat room and invite Alyson if you wanted ;)

@tohecz the user needs more rep. Upvote if you have votes left, I was greedy again.

@percusse AKAIK if you start your own room, you can give the explicit priviledges to anybody

first /me googles AKAIK...

you can create the room but for submitting chat messages you need 11 points if I'm not mistaken.

@DavidCarlisle This was my first idea. Thanks I will try it.

@cmhughes TeX Live. (i have no windows. A friend is using it.)

@Qrrbrbirlbel Added a comment, that is, use sudo

@PauloCereda Which is less than twice David's. I've to work harder.

@egreg ooh!

the least significant bit is 1

@MarcoDaniel Ah, that makes sense.... so it would be MiKTeX users that I would have to worry about...? (for indent.plx)

!!/eightball Is David writing TikZ answers now?

@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: it is decidedly so.

@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: my reply is no.

hm?

!!/eightball Are you buggy?

@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: ask again later.

@PauloCereda I think if you write !!/rep without user name both should appear...

like cricket results

@percusse :)

ah

the speed of the games are similar anyways

:p

@PeterGrill I sometimes do read the questions, yes. :) But it happened also to me to misinterpret some.

@egreg Yeah, I just have a really bad habit of not reading carefully enough. The fact that you had a pretty elaborate answer there should have been a really BIG clue. I recall on one exam on probability the question asked "in how many ways..." and I just assumed that that sort of question obviously wants the probability so gave that as the answer. On the very next question, it was asked to give the probability and answered in how many ways..!!! :-)

@PeterGrill The question was indeed good. Perhaps a .dtx approach would be better, because it could be more general. OTOH, for a simple file it's easier to discard lines between the \begin{solution} and \end{solution} lines.

@egreg Yep, based on the OP's need it is a good question. Haven't really explored .dtx files at all so don't know much about then...

I don't know whether or not it is a bug. Ghostscript produces PostScript error.

@GarbageCollector Yes, it does. But I don't know enough PSTricks to judge if it's a syntax error or a bug.

@egreg OK. Thanks for confirming. I will notify Herbert for this problem.
