@Johannes_B You don't have to read all of it. It is intended that the reader starts at the top and then consults the other paragraphs, e.g. “Mathematik” if applicable.
@HenriMenke Of course not every student can be characterized by my statement above. But the bulk of people seeking support seem to not even try anymore.
@RomainPicot I usually find commenting and asking them to bring it to chat more helpful than consulting the mod. Sometimes it gets the wrong message across.

I want to use asymptote to illustrate Stokes theorem as in the following figure.

@DavidCarlisle I have reduced my code, but the \chapter command code are just like this. What I can do is to replace some string command to plain string. — Svandex1 hour ago
@PauloCereda don't worry, sorry for being a bit strict, but this is really enerving me. I should have sent the printed thesis to the office by today. The office is there and I'm here.
(and a recommendation to you: make a list of all deadlines related to all things related to your thesis) You can save all these troubles I drown in ;-)
@RomainPicot well, just a bit worse than elsewhere...
One thing is: it's simple for me here in Prague; I come to the office and easily, in a friendly manner, in a clear language, discuss all the steps. I can't do that in French, moreover, I'm simply not there...
@yo' I'm Frecnh and fluent in French and have trouble when I have to do some bureaucracy because people may not want to help you and the useless paper they ask is important even if they throw it 5 minutes later ...
@RomainPicot yeah, one thing is true: Maybe the administrative staff is nicer to me because I'm a foreigner willing to speak French and willing to say bonjour and au revoir nicely :)
@RomainPicot I know, but for them, you're just another annoying young gentleman who knows things better than they do. While I am the poor lost foreigner...
@HenriMenke Yes, of course -- I should do a redefinition of cntperchap with expl3 -- the page counter was troubling me (not only because of \immediate`)
@ChristianHupfer but that should work; and I think another option is using zref and alike, one of these packages surely have a "pagerangecount" macro ;-)
@RomainPicot DOH! ... from my supervisor: "I just saw the office. In fact, nothing has to be done now. The document is not necessary at all, and you can give the 2 copies of the thesis to the library after the soutenance."
@DavidCarlisle: The verb was saber (know), but it is said to be irregular, so the default conjugation rule does not apply (like eu como - I eat - for comer - eat). If you apply the normal rule, you get eu sabo instead of eu sei. And Google thought you misspelled the word sabão, which is soap. Sabo is not a valid word in Portuguese. :)
@PauloCereda as far as I remember from French, the language only consisted of irregular verbs, what's the point of learning a rule if they only ever test you on things that don't follow it?
@DavidCarlisle Oh we have regular verbs too. :) To be honest, I believe irregular verbs do not exist, what we have is people lazy enough to ignore all the patterns, so they prefer to put some verbs in other categories. :)
@AlanMunn will kill me with a spoon after I said this. ^^ :)
@RomainPicot the 2nd group is strange. I've always considered 1st group to be regular, and all the rest irregular, and I've been much happier ever since. Even in the 1st group, you've got exceptions with verbs ending in -cer etc.
@yo' 1st and 2nd are regular but some verbs that should fit in one of them may be in the 3rd because it is irregular, "aller" is the most famous I think
@Alenanno Think about it, the question here does not show the orange lines, and shows code. The q on LC shows the final result and asks for reproduction. The one question from a few days ago showed some effort and provided a good example, while the other accounts never gave feedback. I guess @JosephWright and @StefanKottwitz are the only ones who can tell reliably.
@DavidCarlisle More entries for me to add to the case changer too: will do that later on (I have working code here but needs comments, proper ordering, etc.)
@JosephWright There I avoided double accents and paired characters and reversed characters and anything else that isn't a single base letter and an accent (perhaps constructed with ooalign rather than \accent)
@PauloCereda Irregular verbs persist to maintain the power power structure of the society: it takes time and effort and education to learn them and they're good markers of social status.
@PauloCereda But for there to be a pattern, all verbs in the irregular category should be identical to each other. That's not true in English for example.
They are irregular, and some are similar to some, but not all.
@Alenanno So we are justifying the irregular classification by saying they don't fit into the regular structure which was questionable in the first place. :)
@Alenanno Sorry, no intention of causing this feeling. But do not take this conversation seriously, the smiley is just to tell I am just expressing my (dumb) humble views.
@Alenanno BTW, I agree with him about irregular verbs as a category. Of course there's a descriptive category which roughly corresponds to the complement set of the regular verbs, but it's purely descriptive. It's not particularly coherent as a category.
It's unrelated to metalogo other than metalogo uses fontspec (and fontspec uses latin modern) if xetex is being used
This also produces the over-printing accents of xelatex is used.

@JosephWright possibly but that means doing NFC normalisation by hand, it ought presumably work just to use A and the combining accent and let the font machinery deal with it.
@egreg seems unlikely that fonts wouldn't support NFC form with precomposed characters if they contain the relevant base glyphs isn't it? the advice on the web for example is to always normalise all files to NFC
