I answered a question.
At the time of posting, I noticed a comment directing to a duplicate post source.
Rather than keeping my answer under the (newly posted) duplicate, I deleted it and posted it under the duplicate source.
After a while, I noticed...
<Deek> nopcode: No, it isn't. Win32 lacks the equivalent of fork().
<Knghtbrd> Deek: windoze is not meant for people who should have access to
sharp objects, hence no fork()
<Knghtbrd> instead, you must rely on spoon()

When I use tabulation inside the minted environment in pdflatex, they show as normal (several spaces).
But when I use xelatex, they appear as ^^I.
Example (before each letter a b c, there is space-tabulation-space) :
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{minted}

@PauloCereda There was some interview with some athletes the other day they were explaining that it's OK to have no life for 4 years but you have to get gold at the end, silver just isn't good enough
@DavidCarlisle, @egreg, thanks for the help yesterday, I rolled my preamble back about 5-6 commits and I'm back to compiling again. Seems like I changed a color package include to xcolor at some point and then things started breaking, I'll be more compile trigger happy before commits in future.

@ForkrulAssail as I say it doesn't include the core latex release so color is me along with graphics/x lscape. longtable. delarray, array (with Frank) and bits of latex.ltx of course:-)
Do you have suggestions for where one would start if you want to make minor changes to a package? Say exsheets? Learn TeX, contact maintainers, ????, ????, profit :) ?
reminds me of that learn programming in 21 days comic commentary, learn physics, learn chemistry, learn nano-tech, travel back in time after learning all that tech, kill and replace yourself, with an older more knowledgeable you - the only way to learn programming in 21 days.
@ForkrulAssail learning tex can't hurt. But it depends on the maintainers, some people prefer to get fully worked code suggestions, some prefer just to have top level feature requests. (I'm rather of the latter camp myself, I'd rather I understood the code I add so I can remember it 20 years later) I prefer if people want to add code they just copy and make a new package (xcolor, pdflscape,.... )
@DavidCarlisle Ah, that explains the proliferation of packages, probably makes sense. I have some tracking changes I'd like to add to ExSheets, ease my teaching workload a bit by automating the little things. What can you suggest for a beginner in tex (coming from python, c, asm environments) ?
I'm using knitr to put my graphs in straight from R into my LaTeX doc. The problem is that it nests the \label inside \caption. This causes "thesis.tex:1489: Argument of \@iiminipage has an extra }. thesis.tex:1489: leading text: \end{figure}" errors on every figure or margin figure. When I bump the \label one level up (outside \caption), in the generated .tex file, everything compiles fine.
Some online references tex.stackexchange.com/questions/87364/… suggest it might be subfigure and tufte incompatibility, but I don't have subfigure listed in my .dep file as a used package. Any ideas how I can get past this, without an extra - regex bash processing type fix?
@ForkrulAssail inside caption is usually the best place for \label (before caption is just wrong (the most common latex error ever) and putting it after caption is normally OK but can affect spacing
it would make sense that the caption is labelled, like you said. My problem is just, I'm unsure what is now triggering this error, and killing my glossary, index, references in the process. After yesterday, I'd prefer to stay to clean compiles, even if it takes more time to figure out.
@ForkrulAssail The only place iiminpage can appear there is in \begin{knitrout} which isn't code I know, you culd stick \tracingall after the subsection title and type x to stop the run at the error and then stare at the log (or get @egreg to stare at it)
@DavidCarlisle, the section I pasted about 2 ours earlier, generates that error. So there is no iiminpage reference in that particular piece of code, which is odd. @egreg, let me see maybe it's added earlier in the generated .tex
@egreg consider it a little test (tracing code that you haven't seen is an adventure:-0
@ForkrulAssail you wouldn't see \@iiminipage directly it is the internal command that deals with the minipage optional argument (I suspect it's one of mine, although it may be same as 2.09, can't remember:-) so something is calling minipage but messing up its argument
@ForkrulAssail that's very variable: tex is a macro expansion processor so once things go wrong it gets lost easily, you can type s or q to the prompt and it will carry on but whether the rest of the document is processed sensibly depends on luck mostly
@ForkrulAssail you shouldn't get any extra errors but it traces a lot of stuff to the log, every macro expansion step in particular
@ForkrulAssail most questions I answer on this site I do by forcing the OP to provide a working example, sticking \tracingall somewhere and watch TeX fall over.
@ForkrulAssail you want to put \tracingall as close to the point of the error as you can and use x at the error prompt to stop the run at the first error, rubber (perhaps?) runs in batch mode so tex carries on in which case you will trace the rest of the document which might be a lot.
@ForkrulAssail googling around I find \newenvironment{knitrout}{}{} % an empty environment to be redefined in TeX what do you get if you do \show\knitrout
@AlexMardikian note rather than hard wiring such numbers a more common approach is to define two different styles and then use \pagestyle to switch at the point you want to switch
@SamWhited No you don't need the top level command to take any arguments
@SamWhited well I wrote 3 \newcommand ignore the last as it was a cut and paste error. Assuming you want the * to be before any arguments the top level comamnd just has to have `@ifstar{}{} as its definition it can't itself take arguments as that would interfere with looking for *
anyone here that can help with a quick TiKz problem? i have a question but I'm worried it's a duplicate of this question and so i'm reluctant to post it
i'm just having trouble turning the solutions in that question into a solution to mine
but i'm fairly sure that's just due to my own ineptitude
