@LoopSpace inline? That looks like a sin! On display, I would go with \[ (\text{complicated expression}) \si{m s^{-1}} \], given you want "complicated expression" literally.
Btw, I love underlining in conference abstracts to mark the speaker. :(
Hi friends, is it correct to add `\xspace` after a variable defined with `\ensuremath`? Like `\newcommand{\myvar}[1]{\ensuremath{\mathrm{#1}}\xspace} % general variable not in italics \newcommand{\RWA}{\myvar{RWA}} % Risk Weighted Asset \newcommand{\VaR}{\myvar{VaR}} % Value at Risk` and then use `\RWA` and `\VaR` both in text mode and math mode? There are any side effects?
In fact I want to include my list of abbreviations in my table of contents. But when I write my latex code this list of abbreviations isn't showed in the table of contents. I have used \nomenclature which will automatically print that nomenclature in the list of abbreviations which were displaye...
@CarLaTeX If I remember correctly I once read a comment from @DavidCarlisle where he stated that he wrote the package when he was younger and it turned out to create more issues than it solves. But I don't remember where I read that :(
I originally implemented xspace a long time ago (for LaTeX 2.09) as, like most LaTeX beginners, I'd had a document where I had omitted a {} or \ and so had a missing space in the final document.
The original version used a very simple nested test for following punctuation, but it could get the ...
@CarLaTeX it was for us and it was fine. And pizza pancetta e cipolla does exist! I didn't use much acciughe, they are there only to give a bit of salty taste.
@UlrikeFischer Yes, pancetta e cipolla exists! Alici and acciughe are the same fishes, but with a different way of conservation (under salt or under oil). We use acciughe for pizza but, of course, they are very salty.
@Skillmon it matches anything other than a backquote before \+ (so the only thing it misses is \+ at start of line but that probably doesn't matter in this context. \\+ is 1 or more \ though?
@DavidCarlisle but how likely is that? I wouldn't code that. And still you could use grep -B1 to look at that line. But that might be overkill to parse and remove from final output :)
\danger A ``^{discretionary multiplication sign}'' is allowed in formulas:
If you type `|$(x+y)\*(x-y)$|', \TeX\ will treat the ^|\*| something like
the way it treats \hbox{|\-|}; namely, a line break will be allowed at
that place, with the hyphenation penalty. However, instead of inserting a
hyphen, \TeX\ will insert a $\times$ sign in text size.
If you want to see what happens if you click [?] you have to open the PDF in A-Reader, perhaps this one time only ? You need pauloTransp.png for compilation.
@AlexG Yes, the duck is missing. But my current version is not too pretty. The good and bad thing about 3D is that it is three dimensional. (And an animation is 4D then.)
@CarLaTeX I was being teased by @cfr so I had to write the animation, and that's when I learned that asymptote is thinking that one is working on machines with several TB of memory ;-)

l.5 \begin{document}
@egreg @yo' @CarLaTeX still better than the Microsoft Word error I got (and which made me deleting Word). I don't recall the precise Word-ing, but it essentially was saying that Microsoft Word cannot open the document because it is in the Microsoft Word format. The work of several weeks was just gone. At this point I switched to LaTeX , and never regretted it.
Suppose I have a directory Foo/ which contains ProjectA/ and ProjectB/. Is there any way to make a class or package usable by documents within ProjectA/ and ProjectB/ without putting a copy in each of those folders? Ideally, I'd like the class to be in Foo/ but accessible to documents in any subfolder. Putting it in the home texmf isn't an option.
@AlanMunn in most shells if you use that commandline then any files that are in any folder below the parent directory will be found
@AlanMunn of course \documentclass{../ProjectA/classname} also works but you are not supposed to do that and you will get a warning if classname.cls says \ProvidesClass{classname}
@marmot , @CarLaTeX @samcarter @PauloCereda you can download the whole thing here: sharelatex.com/read/thmxykhzhjdk via Menu --> Source . You will have to compile it locally, then open PDF in AR and click the [?].
@DavidCarlisle Ok. But that of course makes the documents very dependent on their location. Right now I've put symbolic links to the class in the relevant folders, but I don't know how cross-platform those are. (It's a Dropbox folder.)
@DavidCarlisle There was no need for an MWE, as it is the default situation that the distance to the bottom \hline is slightly greater than to the top one- the picture(s) exemplified this more than enough. Everybody up their own you-know-what about MWE, this 'community' is so toxic, it probably scares people in need of help who can't decipher the "correct" way to ask a question.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{chngcntr}
\usepackage{gb4e}
\counterwithin{exx}{subsection}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{0} % why does this cause the numbers to not reset?
\begin{document}
\section{A section}
\subsection{A subsection}
\begin{exe}
\ex An example
\ex Another one
\end{exe}
\subsection{Another subsection}
\begin{exe}
\ex An example
\ex Another one

\end{document}
Clearly I'm not understanding something about secnumdepth. I want my sections unnumbered but my examples to renumber per subsection. But if I make secnumdepth equal 0 then they don't reset any more. How can I have both?
I know that I can prepend a reset of the counter to \subsection but this seems like a hack.
@vlg it always helps to make a MWE as most people test answers and being provided a test file just makes that easier. In that case the space under the descender looked unusually large so it was due to a non standard font or (less likely) a non standard table setup, the source for the image would show which Helping people to ask questions in a way that maximises the chance that they get a helpful answer is not "toxic" it's being helpful. ...
Second time broken smartphone display in 4 months, this time under the "ultimate protective glass" I got from the service that did the repair. This smartphone thingy starts to get costly :(
@vlg ... On other sites on the network (especially stackoverflow) such questions get closed as unclear with minutes. on tex.sx we go to some lengths to get the questions to be answeavle and very rarely close as unclear
@DavidCarlisle hey this is not fun, this one seriously was spontaneous, I removed it from my pocket OK, I got back to it in half an hour broken. The only thing I did inbetween was manipulating some cables that could "touch" the screen, but a cable does not make a 2mm hole in a display.
@AlanMunn the other way but I'm not sure you consider it less hacky is to use numbered sections so it triggers the reset of lower counters but format the section heading not to use the number
@AlanMunn: The \refstepcounter code in \@sect is effective only when the section level is lesser or equal to the secnumdepth counter value. No \refstepcounter, no reset...

@vlg to stab people? That's the problem in our world today, I think. Disagreement with rules or suggestions is resulting in potential violence increasingly. We (human mankind) were better some years ago
I disagree, yes, but that stabbing comes from the attitude of the people commenting on the question. I said it was the default situation, didn't provide a mwe, was accused of whining and etc
@vlg I didn't accuse you of anything, but I did say that providing a test file helps people provide answers and that is undeniably a true statement. If it just makes it 5 seconds quicker to make a tested answer that would save half a day spread over 8500 answers.

@ChristianHupfer just look at any of @egreg's comments towards me for examples!
@ChristianHupfer Kind Christian I came home from school after 13 hours. I'm not even where I was wrong. I have performed several rollbacks. If I'm wrong I humbly apologize and if you can fix my mistake, do it. I'm sorry. With estimates. Sebastiano
@CarLaTeX Also, if you smooth the data a bit more, you can see that there are pockets of time where the AmE is less frequent and BrE is more. Of particular interest here is the fact that between 1960-1970 (when @DavidCarlisle was acquiring his English) it was more used in BrE than AmE. And from 1970-1990 the usage seems quite similar.
Does anyone here have much experience with tex4ht?
@DavidCarlisle Yes, I was hoping I could ping him here. I'm trying to see if I can get tex4ht to use gb4e, and it almost does, but produces an empty line after the number. I also have a version of gb4e emulated with enumitem but with that version, the output is even worse.
E.g.:
% !TEX TS-program = htlatex
\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{gb4e}
\begin{document}
\begin{exe}
\ex{\gll Quelle chance tu as eue!\\
which luck you have had\\
\trans `You have a lot of luck!!'}
\ex {\gll Comme il est grand!\\
how he is tall\\
\trans `He is very tall!!'}
\end{exe}

@AlanMunn yes it's a dt/dd list, I wonder if the thing to do is inject some css to affect the alignment or to make it make a different element structure...
@DavidCarlisle Yes, that's probably the right way to do it. I browsed around the site for some questions, but nothing popped up that seemed directly applicable. And although I know a bit about CSS and HTML, I'm pretty rusty at it. :)
@DavidCarlisle Nonetheless, I'm very impressed with the result. It can also deal with tipa, which I totally wasn't expecting either.
@AlanMunn of course that may not be entirely safe, I don't know whether anything else comes out with a <dt class=list1 list or if it always uses that class name for these lists, but it implies it probably wouldn't take much config to make it work.
@AlanMunn Possibly, I remember seeing some such rule and I remember that the rule didn't make any sense, as it depended on COD/COI and the position of the things. Because certaily it's "Tu as eu beaucoup de chance!", but as you suggest, it's probably "Quelle chance tu as eue!", because the object is before the participe.
@AlanMunn oh, I thought you just appended random endings on to what you hoped was the right base in the hope that at least some of them were right and you'd get enough points to scrape a pass.
