@ChristianHupfer You answer current question getting a bunch of rep, i am taking care of trying to get a few answerable question answered. Others get quite more badges of my actions ;-)
@ChristianHupfer Browse through old questions or help out on LC, we have plenty of unanswered questions, also current ones.
@Johannes_B Which answer? The **Who is LaTeX ** one? Well, I did not suspect that to get that much attention. And remember: I am answering questions too where I am aware that they will never get much rep or badge. Regarding my rep and badge count there is negative correlation ;-)
@ChristianHupfer You referred to a specific answer (do you have a link to the Who is TeX), but i was talking about answering in general (which i have been quite lazy the last months).
@Johannes_B Yes, I answer quite a lot, sometimes it's easy, sometimes it requires reading the manual (@DavidCarlisle :-P), sometimes it requires looking into the .sty or .cls file (or latex.ltx), and most time I learn something, I think that's my main motivation
@Johannes_B Thanks for pointing to LC! @ChristianHupfer yes we really need helpers there. Especially who are not interested in points ;-) but friendly inviting talk to gather more LaTeX friends. Sound like you! Even as a moderator immediately for being unlimited.
Sorry I've been more-or-less absent, all – we're wrapping up a release of our software at work. That means a lot of long nights :)
@PauloCereda, what do you think about keeping a PDF of the arara manual that's updated with master? The PDF itself doesn't have to be tracked in master (in my opinion, tracking generated files is a rotten thing to do), but you could set up something like a gh-pages branch to serve the file. Or use git-lfs. Would you be opposed to such an idea if I made a pull-request?
@Sean: or we could take the lazy path and forget about a intermediate format and stick with TeX/PDF directly. Motion approved. Meeting is adjourned. Let's have some cake. :)
> Good things come to those who wait: The main Gentoo package repository (also known as the Portage tree or by its historic name gentoo-x86) is now based on Git.
@egreg -- what's the problem with dragons? dragons always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop, and usually, it's undeserved. (my conveyances are always named after dragons, and they've treated me very well.)
@DavidCarlisle I tried: Nothing bad happens -- If I tried before I could have spared some time coding a \clist_if_exist:cTF ;-) I just wanted to have some confirmation. Apparently, the test is done internally already
@user2692669 No idea what you mean, but I doubt I'd be able to fix it anyway. If you want to improve on that code, I suggest asking a new question with a complete example, and explaining exactly what's wrong with the output.
@user2692669 Probably TeX doesn't find any good hyphenation points for that word, which makes it unrelated to the definition of that list environment. Which word is it?
Is it possible to get Biblatex (or bibtex, I can change) to put out a citation with each entry not on a new line?
Right now I have something that looks like:

@egreg Well, If found that \clist_remove_all:cn works without checking that \g_mypackage_foo_clist is exists at all. This is actually a nice feature, but I think, I should keep my '\clist_if_exist:cTF wrapper anyway.
@egreg That's what I've done.. -- The list is filled by a wrapper command and later on, there's the possibility to kick out items of the list ... the crucial point is: I have a bunch of lists and each is connected to a counter name (I am trying to rewrite my assoccnt package in expl3)
@egreg No, of course not ;-) But later on, I've a command \RemoveAssociatedCounter{foo}{bar} which kicks the bar counter from the update list associated with foo. If the foo counter list does not exist, the bar counter (name) could not be kicked out -- it works anyway.
@egreg: I used clist because \DeclareAssociatedCounters{foo}{bar1,bar2,bar3,...} should be possible, so quickly grip the several counter names. I'll give seq a try, however. The details aren't settled. It's still in testing
@user2692669 yes that's normal, book usually defaults to twoside option and books usually have non-symmetric margins with larger margins on the outer edge
@egreg Looks better, but it changes some things (this is why I am resistant to latex). I'll keep the formatting I had before just to play safe and ask my supervisor if he's ok with it.
@user2692669 note that the margins don't affect page breaking, so as long as you keep \textwidth the same you can have one symmetric version for web/pdf and an asymmmetric version for print. (page numbering might be affected if you don't force chapters to start on an odd page in the pdf version, as you save on blank pages)
@egreg "Stellar answer" some people are easily impressed!
@DavidCarlisle Yes I tried that too it looked neat. I think I should experiment with these after I finish all the chapters. Thanks for your time, Mr cricket :)
