is there a way for equations to be handled automatically? I mean - referencing them. It seems that the equation numbers are generated automatically, yet I still have to hard code labels into them... but maybe there's not an easier way, just thought i'd see

@baxx This is just a chat. You might get more feedback by asking the question on the main site. And you'll receive most feedback if you provide an MWE.

@baxx Use \label{...} after \begin{equation}, and \ref{...} as usual, see here: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14591/…

@baxx or, better, \eqref{...} from amsmath package.

@ChristianHupfer I just pinged you on FB.

@Johannes_B I answered you there and via twitter and mail and whatever ;-)

Okay, it's not a duck, but here's the latest from ltx3svg:

(Note that, contrary to popular opinion, twitter's bird is not made up entirely of arcs. There are 3 cubic bézier's in there as well.)

@JosephWright I finally sat down with a piece of paper and figured out the arc syntax, proof of pudding above. Still haven't figured out if there's a better insertion point, but at least I have something that works.

The one bit I haven't done is the rotation of the x-axis. Shouldn't be too hard, but given that Gecko doesn't bother then I'm considering that an optional bonus for when I next have a minute.

Does someone understand the following question? Why would one need an example for a slide with text?

Q: Why beamer theme doesn't provide an optional ending slide(e.g., Thank You)?

So far as I know maximum people end their slide presentation with a "Thank You" slide. There are varieties to make the slide. Beamer theme provide some style so one can easily use these style typing some simple command. This features are very useful for newbies. They have not to worry about inte...

@JosephWright Do you mind pinging Christian for this question? I think it has lingered around quite some time already

Q: Is there a general rule when to write pgfplots keywords together?

When using tikz especially pgfplots I find it often difficult to remember if a keyword is written together or separaded. Examples for keywords written together are: xticklabels enlargelimits ymajorgrids and many more. Examples of keywords written separated are: extra x tick label y doma...

@Johannes_B If you don't know how to type huge and centered with a background watermark image you might ask this

CarLaTeX

@Johannes_B I think it's better it remains closed

@DavidCarlisle Can you see also tldoc@tug.org? I've just sent the Italian documentation revised...

David Carlisle

1:13 PM

@CarLaTeX I'm not subscribed, it will appear here tug.org/pipermail/tldoc but I'm not sure how often the archive page updates (nothing in 2018 currently)

CarLaTeX

@DavidCarlisle Thank you, I saw that link, too, but as you say, there's nothing recent...

Paulo Cereda

@CarLaTeX nothing arrived in TL-doc so far...

David Carlisle

@CarLaTeX I think postings from non subscribed people on the tug lists are moderated so your message is probably in a queue

CarLaTeX

@DavidCarlisle Yes, maybe, if I remember well I think it happened also the first time I wrote to tex-live@tug.org... @PauloCereda Thank you! I'll ask you again tomorrow and, if nothing arrived, I'll re-send it...

Paulo Cereda

@CarLaTeX Did you register?

CarLaTeX

1:20 PM

@PauloCereda No

Paulo Cereda

@CarLaTeX ah I think unregistered mail does not go to a queue, it's automatically disposed. Maybe you could register, the traffic is very low.

CarLaTeX

@PauloCereda I'll wait a bit and if the mail doesn't appear I'll register before re-sending :)

Loop Space

Woohoo! Three of the four starred posts in the side bar are mine. (Not that I validate my existence by such things ...)

@JosephWright @DavidCarlisle regarding tex.stackexchange.com/questions/417100/…: somewhere in texlive 2016 the behaviour natwidth/natheight-key must have been changed (perhaps along with the bb-key changes). The following doesn't show an image in TL16 and 17 but in TL15.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
% if this is used both images appear:
%\includegraphics[width=64mm]{example-image.png}

\includegraphics[width=64mm,natwidth=10cm,natheight=10cm]{example-image.png}

\end{document}

@DavidCarlisle Busy with a 3-on-3 tournament all morning. Much funner than chasing for missing %. :-P

Joseph Wright

4:21 PM

@UlrikeFischer I'll take a look later

Ulrike Fischer

@JosephWright No hurry. Btw: there is a typo in the l3draw docu, the circle intersection has an argument missing (nnnn instead of nnnnn).

@JosephWright and there is this

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{l3draw}

\begin{document}

\ExplSyntaxOn
\draw_begin:

\draw_end:
\ExplSyntaxOff

\end{document}

! Arithmetic overflow.

@UlrikeFischer it never really did anything useful in pdftex as (unlike latex/dvips) you can't really lie about the original size, as pdftex knows the size, but we should check what it's doing

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle Yes I know. I remember the same discussion about the bb-key some weeks ago. But it should either give an error or do something more or less sensible and not simply eat the picture ...

David Carlisle

@UlrikeFischer sure, will look (but was driving and just got here so haven't looked what it is doing yet)

@CarLaTeX tug.org/pipermail/tldoc/2018q1/thread.html

CarLaTeX

5:21 PM

@DavidCarlisle Thank you!

David Carlisle

@CarLaTeX I could have done the translation for you, too: Sono bravo in italiano

CarLaTeX

@DavidCarlisle Next time, don't worry, TeX Live 2018 is coming soon :):):)

Ulrike Fischer

I have the impression the linux people should take over the miktex support. There is again a question about miktex on linux.

Joseph Wright

@UlrikeFischer :)

@UlrikeFischer I don't get why people do that: I know Christian is experimenting, but really MiKTeX is Windows-focussed

@UlrikeFischer I know :)

@UlrikeFischer Fixed in the Git version: I knew about the issue, but there is lots to do so I'm trying to prioritise

@UlrikeFischer I expect to do another l3draw release within a few days

Ulrike Fischer

5:37 PM

@JosephWright No hurry. When I see something I mention it but I don't expect it to be resolved immediatly. I could also add issues if you prefer. But I didn't want to clutter it with issues about small typos or already resolved things.

Paulo Cereda

@CarLaTeX: your message is in the spam folder.

CarLaTeX

@PauloCereda But I see it here: tug.org/pipermail/tldoc/2018q1/thread.html

@PauloCereda With attachment removed...

Paulo Cereda

@CarLaTeX: I still believe it's advisable to register because it gives more credibility being part of the list than rather an occasional sender, and it also allows the current Italian contributors to comment.

Joseph Wright

@UlrikeFischer At present this is all very much in flux, so reporting here is probably best :)

CarLaTeX

@PauloCereda Done

Paulo Cereda

5:56 PM

@CarLaTeX Grazie. :)
