Hi guys. Does anyone has ever experienced a clash issue with the url package. I'm using hyperref but I need to pass the options hyphens to url. For that, I need to write explicitely \RequirePackage[hyphens]{url}. But this line is clashing and I got this error message: "Option clash for package url. \RequirePackage". If I use "\PassOptionsToPackage{hyphens}{url}" instead I got "Option clash for package url. \let".

Any idea? Where to look for? This question seems to have been asked many times, and I don't want to create yet another one.

8:32 AM

And the hyperref option breaklinks=true doesn't help.

Ok got it. Still the order of packages declaration that makes the thing failing...

What's quite weird is that the hyperref package author is recommending to put it at the end of the document. This is what I did, and putting at the biginning solved the problem. This is against recommandations. :-/

@wget can't you just load url with that option before hyperref

8:48 AM

@DavidCarlisle Nope, like I said "If I use "\PassOptionsToPackage{hyphens}{url}" instead I got "Option clash for package url. \let"."

and obviously that command is loaded before hyperref.

@DavidCarlisle Ok I debugged the issue. This i sdue to biblatex (again you!). If hyperref is loaded after, hyphenation breaking doesn't work.

@wget That isn't what I said to do:-)

Ah. My bad. What do you meant exactly then?

@wget of course it would be easier if you had made a real question with a real test case and shown your full error message (have I mentioned before that asking questions in chat doesn't work so well:-) \usepackage[hyphens]{url}\usepackage{hyperref} and if you still get a clash the help text shows you which options to use

@DavidCarlisle Do I need to write a question now I succeeded to debug my problem. A

I made a minimal working example, and this confirms that BibLaTeX was the issue.

*Do I need to write a question now I succeeded to debug my problem?

@wget no:-)

8:59 AM

@DavidCarlisle I gonna edit this answer so : tex.stackexchange.com/a/3034/66964

@wget but biblatex isn't involved in that question, are you sure you should edit it in to such an old answer?

@DavidCarlisle This could help newbies.

@wget Separate question though

@JosephWright A question I'm gonna answer myself so?

@wget no adding unrelated facts to old questions just confuses everyone, ask a new question and self-answer

9:03 AM

Ok. Gonna do that. Thanks for the advice.

@egreg They play for you: Bohuslav Martinů: Pastorels for violoncello and piano. :D

@yo' Leopold Mozart's “Sinfonia pastorella” for Alp horn and orchestra is surely better.

@egreg possibly. I dunno, I just have the radio on :)

@DavidCarlisle It should be better now ;-)

@wget The recommendation is to have \PassOptionsToPackage as soon as possible.

@ChristianHupfer Heute hamse mal wieder alle Ausgang. golatex.de/… und golatex.de/…

I posted about thicker computer modern lately and even though it was a duplicate, its still a matter i am interested in: I tried embolding latin modern in FontForge and it already looked a lot like what i was expection, but there were some flaws here and there - is anyone here very familiar with FontForge?

@Johannes_B: I see green and white squares... makes me mad

@ChristianHupfer I cannot show my real face, nobody wants to see that.

Christian Hupfer

@Johannes_B: Many people do show their face and should not do so (including me :D), so be courageous... show your face here ;-) Come on!

@egreg glad to see you're promoting my packages again

@Paulo follow this dude, pal: github.com/johannesbottcher :D

@yo' Btw, there is nothing interesting going on.

@Johannes_B I first went through @Paulo's "Following", you weren't there (yet), so I tried @Paulo's "Followers" :-)

@PauloCereda uh oh :D

@yo' he just loafs around here and leaves all the admin work to Psmith.

@DavidCarlisle :)

@PauloCereda speaking of which where is Psmith, not seen him for ages

!!/help

Uh-oh. :)

@PauloCereda your software working as smoothly as ever?

4:17 PM

@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: Good afternoon! 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! If you need any help, just ask our chat residents. Cheerio!

@DavidCarlisle Phew.

@David: I should join the LuaTeX team. :)

@PauloCereda they've fixed that already

!!/answer should I go to Darmstadt?

@DavidCarlisle Yes :-)

Psmith, the TeX bot, in fixed font mode:

Afrodisiac | Brandy | Tuesday, June 29, 2004

!!/eightball Should David go to Darmstadt?

@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: listen to David.

LOL

@PauloCereda Ended LaTeX lecture, with example of usage of arara.

4:33 PM

@egreg yaaay!

@egreg: did you ensure the correct pronunciation of it? :)

@PauloCereda The link about the Tridentine Mass is of the SSPX society (the Bishop Léfebvre's followers).

@egreg Really?! Oh no, I'm sorry!

I didn't pay attention.

5:08 PM

For a short document, like one page, does memoir or the relevant KOMA class have anything to offer over plain article?

And hi guys.

@FaheemMitha No, not really. Well, depends what you got on that page.

@FaheemMitha A poster is one page, and i wouldn't use either ;-)

@Johannes_B just a one page document. like a legal type thing.

5:37 PM

@PauloCereda I've watched a few minutes: much of that part was plain superstition. The corporal must be opened left first, the book has to be with its back up, the amice symbolizes I don't know remember what (while it's just practical for not making dirt the cassock).

@egreg ooh thanks, I'll look for a more reliable source. Sorry for that.

;)

@PauloCereda Oh, it's instructive nonetheless!

@egreg :)

@FaheemMitha With KOMA, there is an easy interface to customize the font of title elements, and maybe the parskip-option. Or the built in footnote customization. But for a one-page doc, ah. If you have to change something, you can do it by hand.

@Johannes_B which KOMA class would be suitable for a 1 page doc, anyway?

5:47 PM

@FaheemMitha scrartcl.

@Johannes_B Ok, thank you.

Why do the KOMA classes all start with scr?

@FaheemMitha The KOMA classes provide feature-rich enhancements/replacements for the generic standard classes. `article` -> `scrartcl` (script-article)
`report` -> `scrreprt` (script-report) and you can guess the last one:
`book` -> `scrbook` (script-book)

@Johannes_B Oh, so scr stands for script? That's strange.

@FaheemMitha KOMA-script is based on the script-styles from 2.09, AFAIK.

@Johannes_B script-styles?

What are those?

5:50 PM

@FaheemMitha History. Actually, no idea.

@Johannes_B ok

@Johannes_B you forgot scrlttr2, the letter class. Wonder why the 2.

@FaheemMitha 2e made 2.09 obsolete in 1994? early nineties.

@Johannes_B yes, I know.

@FaheemMitha There is an older scrlettr. Bit like obsolete datetime and now datetime2

But I don't know what script-style is. Never used 2.09. I think I started with 2e around 1996 or so.

Maybe 1997.

@Johannes_B Also part of KOMA?

5:53 PM

@FaheemMitha datetime is a project by @nicolaTalbot.

@JosephWright: I have a crazy idea for L3. It's so crazy it will be next great thing ever. :)

@Johannes_B I meant scrlettr.

@FaheemMitha There is also a package scrletter.sty to make letters available within the other KOMA classes. Comes in handy when writing a job application with cv and letter.

@Johannes_B Oh, interesting.

@FaheemMitha I think scrlettr isn't distributed anymore. Went obsolete too long ago.

Stefan Kottwitz

5:55 PM

@FaheemMitha Brand new! Hard to find a download source. But here's a secret one: script_s.sty.

@StefanKottwitz Wow, thanks.

Stefan Kottwitz

@Johannes_B I guess it's even too ancient and rare to make it into l2tabu

@FaheemMitha another example: scrpage was superceeded by scrpage2 which got suceeded by scrlayer-scrpage.

@PauloCereda ?

!!/eightball Is Gunar secretly @Johannes in disguise?

5:58 PM

@StefanKottwitz The only reason i know a bit more of the script are some mentions in the KOMA-book and some hints dropping by Besserwisser/saputello

@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: stop hassling me, dud.

@DavidCarlisle I think Frank will kill me, so I need to prepare terrain. :)

Stefan Kottwitz

@FaheemMitha If a package is not backwards compatible, it should get a new name, to not break documents, so we got some name changes for the same project

@Johannes_B Btw. do you go to Stralsund next week?

@PauloCereda That's dude, man.

@StefanKottwitz What is brand new?

!!/battle

@egreg Psmith, the TeX bot: The current score is egreg 275 vs. 205 David. So far, egreg is winning.

6:02 PM

@StefanKottwitz Do you work on KOMA?

@FaheemMitha It's a one-man project isn't it?

@PauloCereda is it just @egreg and @DavidCarlisle, or can anyone else join in?

@PauloCereda I couldn't avoid properly using Psmith.

Stefan Kottwitz

@FaheemMitha just joking! this seems to be an original ancient script version, so pretty interesting, historically

@egreg :)

@FaheemMitha Only the two.

6:03 PM

@DavidCarlisle it is? I hope not. The one chap must be in a state of collapse.

Stefan Kottwitz

@FaheemMitha I'm just a KOMA user.

@StefanKottwitz ok

@PauloCereda That's discrimination.

@FaheemMitha Start gaining more rep and we will consider your case.

:)

@PauloCereda I wasn't talking about me.

Stefan Kottwitz

@PauloCereda ah, it was rep, not age?

6:05 PM

@FaheemMitha you were the only one complaining. :)

@StefanKottwitz Int128. :)

@PauloCereda I was observing/commenting.

@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: User: Johannes_B :: Reputation: 6,513

@StefanKottwitz Shut up!

@egreg lol

!!/answer how old is David?

Psmith, the TeX bot, in fixed font mode:

age | of David  (religious, etc.) |  today
(09.04.2015 is after David died)

o.O

6:08 PM

@PauloCereda your bot is broken.

Stefan Kottwitz

@egreg I'm one of the older guys too, with an ancient avatar photo (needed to find a friendly one), so I may be allowed to joke hopefully :-)

!!/eightball should we hit Stefan with a big trout?

@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: it ain't happening.

@StefanKottwitz how do you like KOMA?

@PauloCereda I think the operative verb is slap.

@DavidCarlisle Decided about TUG2015 yes?

Stefan Kottwitz

@FaheemMitha When I was new to LaTeX, I was sceptic about this "different" thing, but only because I did not now much about it. Just the name told me "different, more work, perhaps incompatible". But soon I knew it was one of the best TeX projects, being a big advance for LaTeX users.

6:18 PM

@PauloCereda I didn't know I was dead. that's a shame.

@DavidCarlisle Oh no!

Stefan Kottwitz

@DavidCarlisle must be a bug

@JosephWright probably go, just need to organise it

@StefanKottwitz I've heard they can be fatal

!!/eightball am I alive?

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

:(

6:21 PM

@DavidCarlisle Fixed. :)

@StefanKottwitz So, you're a fan?

@DavidCarlisle A damned shame.

You will be much missed.

@DavidCarlisle -- so you and mark twain have something in common.

@barbarabeeton literary skill?

@DavidCarlisle -- not exactly ... "The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."

@barbarabeeton well I knew of that but still I hoped for the other connection:-)

6:26 PM

!!/eightball Does David have great literary skills?

@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: I think I'll pass.

@DavidCarlisle: Psmith is a little bitter today. :)

@PauloCereda so I notice, I'm regretting asking you to invite him back.

@DavidCarlisle Let me adjust some settings, so we can try again. :)

@PauloCereda Oh, so you are the guilty party?

!!/eightball Does David have great literary skills?

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

LOL

@PauloCereda hmm much better:(

6:28 PM

@DavidCarlisle -- i'm not aware of any comments re mt's typing skills.

!!/eightball do you have bugs, Psmith?

@PauloCereda ask if David has great TeXnical skills.

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

!!/eightball does @barbarabeeton have any reason to comment adversely about my typing?

@DavidCarlisle Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: not in this lifetime.

!!/eightball Are you bitter today?

@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: reply hazy, try again.

6:30 PM

!!/eightball Are you just delivering random responses?

@FaheemMitha Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: you need to use emacs.

Stefan Kottwitz

@FaheemMitha I got just the practical view. It's great to have stable base classes which did not change much during 20 years. but it's also nice to rely on a feature-rich class set which has been heavily developed over nearly such a time

@PauloCereda I rest my case.

@PauloCereda -- "this lifetime" is very imprecise. whose lifetime? @David's, mine, or psmith's?

And I do use emacs.

@StefanKottwitz Ok.

6:31 PM

!!/eightball do you love me, Psmith?

@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: let's wait for David to finish xor first.

@barbarabeeton I don't know. :)

Are the KOMA classes unstable then?

Stefan Kottwitz

@FaheemMitha I used stable in the meaning of static (because of seeing it with the positive aspect)

@StefanKottwitz Ah, ok.

Stefan Kottwitz

@FaheemMitha of course KOMA classes have stable versions, new versions, and development versions, and they provide backwards compatibility features

@StefanKottwitz Sounds good. I've only used scrlttr2, but was mostly favorably impressed. It certainly seems much more developed than letter.

Stefan Kottwitz

6:36 PM

@FaheemMitha it was ahead of time when being developed, so it got a bit unusual syntax (pseudo lengths) but I used it too, it's a fine class. I always got the job when I applied with a scrlttr2 document

but the main effect is visible LaTeX quality, scrlttr2 just just the frame, but a highly customizable great one

@StefanKottwitz Ok. I had some minor issues. Maybe I'll post a question.

@StefanKottwitz No, unfortunately not. :-(

@FaheemMitha Most LaTeX packages are maintained by one guy. Of course with the help of bug-reports and input by others.

@Johannes_B KOMA is big, though.

6:51 PM

@FaheemMitha So is tikz, memoir ...

@Johannes_B tikz has more than one developer.

@FaheemMitha These projects have contributors.

@PauloCereda Yes, that was my point.

@FaheemMitha You mentioned developers.

@PauloCereda Are you making a distinction between developer and contributor?

6:59 PM

@FaheemMitha They aren't the same.

@PauloCereda Ok. definitions, please.

@FaheemMitha At least not in the (La)TeX world.

@Johannes_B fine. so, what are the respective definitions?

@FaheemMitha When i hear contributor, i instantly think of github and co and pull requests. With KOMA, for instance, you can make suggestions/feature requests and Markus will consider implementing it. So you contribute by giving input (suggestions, bug reports), no final code.

@FaheemMitha pgf/TikZ is extended by many libraries, by different people, but the pgf-core is imho developed by Till alone.

@Johannes_B Oh. So contributor can mean as little as bug reporter?

@Johannes_B I thought he didn't work on it any more.

7:05 PM

@FaheemMitha You contribute, you are giving something to the project.

@Johannes_B Ok.

But I don't think a bug report means too much.

I file lots of them. Nobody cares.

@FaheemMitha Well, version 3.0 was pushed last year, or the year before. So i think pgf is still active. He left beamer behind, as far as i know. We nedd confirmation by @Joseph, i think.

@Faheem: a contributor can help with anything, including code. But the final decision, as well as the final implementation, relies with the developer. S/he is in charge of what goes into production and whatnot.

@Johannes_B ok

@PauloCereda Ok.

@FaheemMitha Depends on the community i think. The reason for not caring could be a completely different one.

7:07 PM

@Johannes_B Of course. not caring often means completely ignoring.

@FaheemMitha I filed a bug report for package minitoc once, and noticed that it is useless a few minutes later. :-( Nobody knows where Stephan has dissappeared to as well.

@Johannes_B I don't understand the second sentence.

Stephan?

@FaheemMitha The maintainer of minitoc passed away a while back. The (former) maintainer and dev of biblatex, etoolbox and csquotes just vanished. Nobody knows anything.

@Johannes_B Oh, was that who I was talking about to @JosephWright a few days ago?

@FaheemMitha Dunno :-) I cannot follow every conversation here. A link might be helpful. ;-)

7:11 PM

@FaheemMitha They are different people. You were talking about Phillip.

@PauloCereda Oh. Someone else who disappeared? :-(

Someone really should keep a directory of people.

@FaheemMitha biblatex dev Philipp Lehman.

@PauloCereda Oh. Also biblatex. Maybe it has a curse. :-/

@Johannes_B So, what is Stephan's full name?

@PauloCereda @FaheemMitha Sorry, i wa as well talking about Phillip. I am tired.

@FaheemMitha Sorry, confusion in my head. ^^^^

@Johannes_B Ah, relieved only one person disappeared.

7:16 PM

@Johannes_B You were right. :) I think for a moment we assumed minitoc's author was the same person.

Good maen again

@ChristianHupfer Quack!

@ChristianHupfer the sound penguins make

Christian Hupfer

@PauloCereda: Das böse Entchen (das is correct here ;-))

@Johannes_B: Sächsische Pinguine?

@ChristianHupfer :)

@Johannes_B Maybe it's a penguin who speaks duck. :)

7:28 PM

@ChristianHupfer Do they sound differently?

@PauloCereda Yeah, this might be a good explanation.

Christian Hupfer

@PauloCereda: Advanced Duckish for Penguins? Course Level A1 ... fluent speaker ;-)

@ChristianHupfer LOL

So I need a travel insurance for going to Europe? Boo. :)

Christian Hupfer

@PauloCereda: Why not? ... Europe is quite dangerous :-P Fierce Creatures, see the Saxon Penguins in the Johannes_B area ;-)

@ChristianHupfer :)

Christian Hupfer

@PauloCereda: By the way, I visited the living house(s) of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller last week, in the same city, saw their coffins in the vault, all on the same day... two of the greatest German poets and writers...

7:34 PM

@ChristianHupfer ooh how nice! :)

@ChristianHupfer two of the greatest German poets and writers... dead anyway.

Christian Hupfer

@PauloCereda: The vault is quite scary ... 45 coffins...

@Johannes_B: Yes, like Fontane, Brecht, Müller, Hauptmann etc.... I see dead poets... a dead poets society ;-)

@ChristianHupfer I don't.

@ChristianHupfer I think the guy next to me is Einstein, though.

Christian Hupfer

@Johannes_B: As a Physicist I would agree with you, but I like literature as well... there so many books to read ... and even more to be written ;-)

Q: How to increase the arrow size on oint

With my font of choice (for other reasons), the arrow indicating the orientation of the contour appears very small. Is there a way to increase its size? \documentclass[10pt]{article} \usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, graphicx, gensymb, amsfonts, amsthm, mathrsfs} \usepackage[charter]{mathdesign} \us...

@ChristianHupfer If you put it together by different parts, you could scale the parts differently, i think. But here, i guess not.

Christian Hupfer

9:40 PM

@Johannes_B: Well, yes, merging different glyphs is a possibility but not very convenient

Should we close this as too broad/opinion - based?

Q: Is \left...\right necessary when there are sub/super-scripts?

$(a_2+b^3)$ or $\left(a_2+b^3\right)$. Which is correct? An experiment shows that in these two expressions the size of parentheses are different. Is \left...\right necessary for correct formatting in this particular case?

How should one use \areaset{16,5cm}{32.0cm} as an argument to a KOMA class? I don't see how to do this, though I assume it is possible.

@Canageek: when I was checking the flights for Germany, I took a look at Lufthansa: one of the most expensive companies. :(

I am going to Spain via Air Europa, which seems to be a Spanish company. The cheapest company I found from São Paulo to Frankfurt was KLM.

@Canageek: I am also quite nervous, it is my first trip as well. :)

So, I'm trying to load typearea with non-default options, but it seems the KOMA classes already load it. So, how do I do that?

@PauloCereda Expedia and Kayak both have them as the cheapest way to Poland. I checked Lot (Polish national airline), Air France and the Austrian National airline, but all are way more expensive.

@PauloCereda KLM costs about $150 more for the trip, and I'd have to fly through New York.

@PauloCereda And Air Europa doesn't fly from Vancouver
