@DavidCarlisle Do you have contact with STIX developer(s)? The ZIP file for web fonts provided over sourceforge could be about 2MB smaller when the useless TAR file inside would be removed. Useless means that the content of this tar file is already included in subdirectories.
Does anyone know (or at least suspect) a file encodng, where hex 81 is an ü (U+00FC). Mime says something like Non-ISO extended-ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
@texenthusiast If he doesn't agree soon I think we'll have to publish a fake interview by taking all his logged comments from this chat room out of context, just insert some questions between these lines and we are done:
Suppose I want to learn TeX. Then, is The TeXBook a complete source? Does it cover all relevant aspect of TeX? Or is there something worth learning about TeX which is not present there?
Does also "TeX programming" appear there?
i'm trying to create Academic ( because my thesis in Mathematics) and beautiful Thanks page in my thesis :
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
It is with our deepest gratitude and warmest affection that we dedicate this thesis to our Professor Dr. X

@egreg because it was always that way. It makes sense as a parbox might be in a table or center env where \\ means whatever it means and a parbox is supposed to be an oasis of normality
@egreg because it is basically a minipage not a tabular?
@egreg I guess there is a hidden context to these questions?
@DavidCarlisle Yes, there is. A macro uses \protected@xdef somewhere; so the code works if the object is built in normal text, but not in a figure, because it fails at \\.
There is no facility, at the moment, for storing into a token list the contents of a file, but you can still use the catchfile package:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{catchfile}
\usepackage{expl3,l3regex}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\cs_new_protected:Npn \mycom #1
{
\CatchFileDef \l_tmpa_tl {#1} {}...
Here's a way with expl3 and Heiko Oberdiek's catchfile:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % for the underscore
\usepackage{catchfile}
\usepackage{xparse}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\cs_set_eq:NN \egreg_catchfiledef:nnn \CatchFileDef
\cs_generate_variant:Nn \egreg_catchfiledef:nnn { c }
\cs_ge...
The XDV to PDF conversion is done by xdvipdfmx, which doesn't understand -recorder, unfortunately. It could be a good addition, but presently it doesn't do it.
With a Unix system and a Bash shell you can do
xelatex -recorder -output-driver='xdvipdfmx -vv >> dubac.fls 2>&1' dubac
The output .f...
@FaheemMitha but it's so good! the 6 moments are very decent, the 1st motiv of the 1st one is very well known. And the fantasie is just crazy: I was sitting behind the pianist, and it was just every now and then that his hands moved apart at the bullet's speed, pressed million of keys in a quick sequence and got to the middle part again where I couldn't see them :P
now excuse me, I have to go in like 10 minutes, I go dancing :)
@egreg No, not stolen green ticks today :-(. Yeah there has been very little rainfall this year so we are defintely in drought conditions, but basically that just means less waste at least this year.
