@PauloCereda hey Paulo, I think I got it working :)
well, sort of- it's not amazing, but it's a start:
% arara: makechapters: {files: [lions,zebras], mainfile: main}
\documentclass{report}

\begin{document}

\include{lions}
\include{zebras}

\end{document}
and here's makechapters.yaml

# PDFLaTeX rule for arara

# http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/31334/how-to-create-individual-chapter-pdfs
# requires arara 3.0+
identifier: makechapters
name: MakeChapters
command: <arara> pdflatex -jobname=the@{file} "\includeonly{@{file}}\input{@{mainfile}}"
arguments:
- identifier: mainfile
flag: <arara> @{parameters.mainfile}
it's not idea- it creates thelions.pdf and thezebras.pdf instead of lions.pdf and zebras.pdf, but I think that can be fixed with a mv afterwards....

Q: PythonTeX texing problem

Predrag PunosevacI am trying to play with PythonTeX package. Installation went smoothly on this machine running old TeXLive 2011. However when I try to pdflatex or lualatex example provided with installation (pythontex_gallery.tex) I get the following error. ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \DeclareFloat...

@Werner Yes, I clicked on "Leave closed" since there was no edit to the poor aircraft question and no comment yet telling why to reopen. Chat messages are not visible there...
An extreme draw-it-for-me question, one-liner and not even a question. A big debate in a lot of comments, no vote and no response by the OP. Well, let's see if anything may come.

8:16 AM
Morning all
Have you all got your latest TUGBoat editions?
 
@JosephWright I got one the other day (not looked at it yet)
 
@DavidCarlisle Just flicked through mine this morning (I only get post at the weekend, as it comes to home rather than Norwich)
 
8:32 AM
Good morning. A good day to do homework :-(
 
 
1 hour later…
9:49 AM
@MarcoDaniel Just post it on stackexchange and then procrastinate by doing other peoples homework for them ;-)
 
10:04 AM
@StephanLehmke Indeed. A normal method ;-)
 
@PauloCereda :-)
@PauloCereda Are you feeling better now?
 
@JosephWright not yet ..
 
10:35 AM
@NicolaTalbot Hi! :) I'm a little better now, but I didn't sleep well. :(
@JosephWright Nope. :(
 
@PauloCereda I'm glad you're feeling better :-) but that's no fun not sleeping well :-( Do you want to postpone the interview until you're okay?
 
Is the first version clear enough or do we need to use \left( and \right) as in the second version?
\begin{align*}
\lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{2x^2-6x+1}{x^2+x-1}
&=\lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{2x^2-6x+1}{x^2+x-1}\times\frac{1/x^2}{1/x^2}
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
\lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{2x^2-6x+1}{x^2+x-1}
&=\lim_{x\to \infty}\left(\frac{2x^2-6x+1}{x^2+x-1}\times\frac{1/x^2}{1/x^2}\right)
\end{align*}
 
@NicolaTalbot Nah, don't worry. :) I'll be ok in a couple of hours. :)
 
@PauloCereda :-)
 
@NicolaTalbot I can't have ice cream, but I can have tea. :)
 
10:39 AM
@PauloCereda I suppose you can't sneak some ice cream into the tea? ;-)
 
@NicolaTalbot ooh a challenge! :) I like the sound of it.
 
@PauloCereda Yay! :-)
 
10:50 AM
@ClickMe I wouldn't use \times, but \cdot; however it depends on national traditions. The parentheses are not needed, as multiplication binds more strictly than \lim, but depending on the readers' level they may be used.
 
@egreg How about this $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to \infty}\left(3x+1-\sqrt{9x^2-4x+1}\right)$? Do we need the \left( and \right)?
 
11:07 AM
Good morning Vietnam!
 
I suppose this is not a test, right? :)
 
@ClickMe Parentheses are necessary here, because - has usually lower precedence and this might be ambiguous. I'd write it as $\lim_{x\to \infty}\bigl(3x+1-\sqrt{9x^2-4x+1}\,\bigr)$
 
@PauloCereda Não são como as 5 de amanhã lá em SP?
 
@ClickMe Surely no \displaystyle; if you really need the condition below the limit, use \lim\limits_{x\to\infty}
 
@MarioS.E. :) If I recall correctly, that's the follow-up for your sentence. :)
 
11:12 AM
@egreg OK. What is the difference between \left( and \bigl(?
 
@PauloCereda Don't you sleep? :P
 
@MarioS.E. I do. :) Sometimes. :)
I have a pretty good uptime. :)
 
@ClickMe \bigl has a fixed size; \left could give too big a parenthesis.
@ClickMe Is it really necessary to change nickname every few weeks? :)
 
@egreg Yes. It is my religion. :-) Thank you for answering.
 
11:42 AM
@egreg I'd never ever change a nickname!

is possible to run script inside latex?
for example echo "100.83*4.53" | bc
 
12:46 PM
@Pankracy Only if you have shell-escape enabled.
 
@Pankracy Can you add a more detailed example to your question?
 
1:07 PM
@egreg No \fp_eval:n { 100.83 * 4.53 }? :)
 
@PauloCereda may I suggest you a question that you may post to your next interviewees?
 
@Papiro Sure! :) But you can also contribute directly to the interview, if you feel like. :)
 
@PauloCereda I suggest you to post a question about the TeX environment (hardware, OS, TeX related software, etc) used...
 
@Papiro Sure, I took note. :)
Of course, @DavidCarlisle's answer would be simply emacs. :)
 
Thank you! Have a good day! :-)
 
1:20 PM
@dıʞsdoʇ I know that os.exec is perfect for the task, the problem is how to use it. The LuaTeX manual doesn't spend many words about it.
 
@Papiro Thanks, you too! :)
@egreg I think it's the conventional Lua use. Let me try it.
 
@PauloCereda The main problem is handing back the output to LuaTeX.
 
@egreg Indeed. Maybe one of the parameters for tex.print might help.
 
1:38 PM
@egreg there is io.popen for this
local i = io.popen("ls")
print(i:read("*all"))
 
1:55 PM
i want to ask question but my concerned would be closed soon, can anyone of moderators here give some advise to or not to go?
 
@egreg: I edited your answer. I hope it's ok.
 
@michal.h21 Now the problem are catcodes, as usual. ;-)
 
@michal.h21 you're right of course. os.exec() is "silent"
 
@MarcoDaniel No, but I'll leave it. There's no reason whatsoever for having different styles of chapter headings.
 
@egreg The method is ok ;-) As often there is no reason.

@DavidCarlisle Psmith, the TeX bot: Good morning! I'm Psmith, the friendly TeX bot - the p in my name is silent, as in pshrimp. I'm here as a companion to our fellow users in the typographic land. As you probably noticed, I always reply under Paulo's account, but do not despair, I say, my replies are always preceded by my own name. Enjoy your stay at TeX.sx!

@DavidCarlisle Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: how about reading source2e?
 
2:10 PM
!!/eightball if I read source2e would I win the Eurovision song contest?
 
@DavidCarlisle Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: If i recall correctly, yes.
 
@DavidCarlisle go ahead! We'll test you later :)
 
@dıʞsdoʇ but would you vote for such a recital (It's a general rule of Eurovision that no one votes for the UK:-)
 
@DavidCarlisle I don't really know what the "Eurovision song contest" is. I think it has to do something with singing and making musique.
... so I am not the right person to have an opinion.
 
@doctorate I'm not a moderator, but what's your question about and why do you think it would get closed?
 
2:15 PM
@doctorate Don't worry: closing a question is not a judgment on the questioner.
 
@dıʞsdoʇ only slightly to do with singing, mostly to do with weird inter-country pacts and voting patterns and eccentric costumes:-)
 
@DavidCarlisle I remember that a few years ago a cute little German girl ('Lena') was pretty successful. I don't really follow that. I'd rather read tex.pdf or so.
 
@papiro Although it's helpful to add comments to first posts like this, in this case the issue isn't about providing a minimal example (since the OP doesn't really have a problem) it's more about asking the person to post some attempt at the code themselves.
 
@dıʞsdoʇ I haven't watched it for years, I just thought if Psmith had inside information of the result we could all get rich quick
 
@DavidCarlisle he sleeps most of the time, so I wouldn't count on that

@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: Here is your fortune: About time I got out of that cookie.
 
I just added a suggested comment text for "just do it for me" type graphics questions in the meta question since we didn't seem to have one. I wonder if it should be moved up the list to the top next to the MWE text. Also, comments/corrections to the actual text are welcome.
 
!!/eightball Does @Alan have some ice cream to share with us? :)
@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: don't count on it.
 
@PauloCereda So you should ask @egreg, then! ;)

@NicolaTalbot: ^^
 
@PauloCereda Yay! Psmith is my friend. :-)
 
@NicolaTalbot he is always rude to me :(
 
2:39 PM
@PauloCereda Of course you can! I know some places where I stop during my tours for getting a good local ice-cream: one is at Busche, one is near Alleghe and the third one near Auronzo di Cadore.
 
@dıʞsdoʇ He's been rude to me in the past. I think he's now trying to make up for it. :-)
 
This is what I get:
31 mins ago, by Paulo Cereda
@dıʞsdoʇ Psmith, the TeX bot: Here is your fortune: Meh.
 
@PauloCereda Look at the maps to see where those places are. Actually Busche is not the best place, but they have the best ice-cream. :)

@NicolaTalbot Psmith, the TeX bot: Here is your fortune: Watch out for low flying ducks.
 
2:41 PM
@PauloCereda Ooh!
 
@dıʞsdoʇ Many ice-cream vendors in Germany come from the Dolomites region. Typically from Val Zoldana.
 
@egreg We had even ice cream named after this region:
(Dolomiti is big)
I loved this when I was young and I always think of that when I hear of the mountains in Italy
 
@egreg oooh! :)

We are very quick with closing questions....

Q: Is there a way to avoid short lines?

theobearIs there a universal setting to tell TeX that the last line of a paragraph can not have just one word? For instance, instead of this: This is a sample paragraph and there is one word here. you would have that: This is a sample paragraph and there is one word here. Also, is there s...

 
@dıʞsdoʇ Do you think it shouldn't have been?
 
@AlanMunn we could have waited until the OP reports back on my question "does ... help?"
 
@dıʞsdoʇ Yes, true. (I hadn't read your comment). The more users with vote-to-close privileges we have, the faster things will get closed it seems. Is it likely that it won't help in this case? If so it might be helpful to add a comment about reopening the question.
We don't have a good way of educating potential close-voters, I think.
 
@AlanMunn I am not sure what to do. It was just an observation.
 
@AlanMunn I think we could counterattack with a friendly meta question about it and reopening "too recently closed" questions. :)
 
3:13 PM
@PauloCereda Well maybe. Although I don't think reopening things just because they were closed quickly is a good idea. It's more an issue of getting people to suggest a duplicate and then wait for a response unless the duplicate is really clear. (Although that's the crux of the matter: one person's "really clear" is another one's "maybe not".
 
@AlanMunn Agreed. My fear is that questions are being closed way too soon.

@PauloCereda Not surprisingly the issue has been raised on meta before:

Q: Etiquette (particularly on voting to close)

Andrew StaceyIt's good to get etiquette established early. I'd say that one big lesson from MathOverflow is that for people unused to the SO framework, getting a "vote to close" is like getting a kick in the face. So I'd like to encourage people who vote to close to leave some explanation in the comments. ...

 
@AlanMunn Ah.
 
And coincidentally @cmhughes who raised the issue originally has just arrived.
 
@AlanMunn Spider sense. :)

@PauloCereda what do you think of my arara rule for making chapter files:

\include{lions}
\include{zebras}

\end{document}

name: MakeChapters
command: <arara> pdflatex -jobname=the@{file} "\includeonly{@{file}}\input{@{mainfile}}"
arguments:
- identifier: mainfile
  flag: <arara> @{parameters.mainfile}
 
@cmhughes Wow! Very nice!
 
3:24 PM
@PauloCereda does it follow best practices? :)
 
@cmhughes I guess. :)
 
@PauloCereda the only thing I wonder about- can an arara command have multiple parts to it- the above creates thelions.pdf and thezebras.pdf---- could it also mv thelions.pdf lions.pdf?
 
@cmhughes hm sounds tricky. I'll try to think of something.
 
@PauloCereda no big deal- if it's not obvious, then don't worry about it :)
 
@NicolaTalbot, it is about a workflow of using Zotero + Biblatex + Biber + TexStudio in Latex to automate bibliography citations
 
3:32 PM
@cmhughes I have a crazy idea which might involve arara + a tool I will write for you. :)
 
I am not sure whether this can be an own question, or an answer to other related questions in tex.xs
 
@PauloCereda sweet, that sounds ace!
 
3:56 PM
@doctorate Perhaps others here have a better suggestion, but I think if none of the related questions satisfactorily answer your query, then maybe it would be better to post a new question, but link to the closest matching questions and say how your question differs. Also, it would help if you could clarify the kind of automation. For example, are you interested in, say, using arara to run pdflatex+biber or does the automation refer to zotero. (I've never used it, so I can't help there.)
 
@NicolaTalbot, actually I have a certain workflow for this purpose, but I want to share it with others, this will give me also hints if I am missing something, or an improvement is there I am not aware of, etc...
 
@doctorate Okay, in which case maybe add it as an answer to:

Q: Workflow for managing references?

pmav99What is your workflow for managing references? How does this workflow scale? Do you use programs like zotero, mendeley, jabref? What are their pros and cons? Does it allow easy integration of biblatex or it is bibtex only?

I don't know if anyone else has a better suggestion.
 
@NicolaTalbot okay, perfect, seems to me the right place to answer here.
 
@dıʞsdoʇ Reason? The memoir class?
 
@mafp too early to close (let's give the OP 24 hours to comment)
 
4:07 PM
@dıʞsdoʇ Voted
 
@dıʞsdoʇ I reopened
 
Now I can post a LuaTeX solution and get all the CREDITZ :)

I think \underbrace should be defined without having to explicitly specify the underscore. \underbrace{}{} should be enough rather than \underbrace{}_{}. What do you think?
 
no it shouldn't
 
@DominicMichaelis Why?
 
underbrace makes an Op atom which I usually avoid by using {} which would form me to make more than now
 
Maybe someone needs something like this $\underbrace{hello}^{why}$.
 
I think my argument is better

@ach No the ones with some odd name are some Indian league or other. I have no idea. And the ones with English counties will be county matches. So it's just England v NZ that''s a 5 day test match.

Q: luaotfload cannot load system font

capsensitive(I have asked this question in comp.text.tex and lualatex-dev@tug.org mailling lists, but I still haven't got any reply. I know this website is not for bug report, but since no developer responded me, maybe my problem is only related to a specific type of setup, and possibly be helpful for someon...

This is simply a bug report
@JosephWright I'd say NARQ, what do you think?

@DavidCarlisle That user no longer exists, must have changed it again...
