@DavidCarlisle :D ... well, I should have written about the term ragged rather. I doubt that many non-native English speakers know about the word ragged -- I extended my comment there
@UlrikeFischer Having done my Ph.D. in Astrophysics with special knowledge on the Sun, I am scared about a Pizza Sun, especially if it has sun spots consisting of pine apples...
@ChristianHupfer @PhelypeOleinik I'm not sure if I understand the rules here, but if someone upvotes one of Phelype's answers and someone else downvotes, wouldn't he get a net reputation increase?
@marmot I accept at least an answer to every question of mine, unless there are none to accept. I have two unanswered questions (the square duck one, and a duplicate), so no.
@ChristianHupfer @marmot I think my next question will be a big-list: "Replace a word in the title of a tex.se question by 'duck'.". It would be fun XD
@PhelypeOleinik @ChristianHupfer You are complaining about marmots, you are complaining about ducks, what's wrong with you guys? This is called diversity. ;-)
@ChristianHupfer Indeed U_U. I'm using StackOverflow a little lately. Some questions and answers there are flooded with downvotes.
@ChristianHupfer (rant) I asked a question there, and the answer I got was something like: "There are ways to do that, but not the one you mentioned. But that's fine because you don't really want to do that."
what is really space time?
Spacetime is a four-dimensional mathematical space in which the the motion of an object through three-dimensional, physical space can be represented as a non-moving path. (The path is known as the object's world line).
how it is possible to bend?
Nobody know...
@ChristianHupfer If I would do on TeX.SE what people in the physics forum, I'd answer every question by "You don't want to use LaTeX for that. Use Word."
@ChristianHupfer Yes, that's a good one. (I was one told by a guy with a very high reputation that vacua of gauge theories do not need to be gauge invariant. And people believe her/him because of the reputation. ;-)
@ChristianHupfer Something like this. (Overall I guess the site is a good thing since then all these geniuses have a forum to explain the universe to their friends and university teachers do not have to deal with their theories. ;-)
@ChristianHupfer Sure it is. And this is in tons of text books. And there are so-called large gauge transformations which cannot continuously be transformed to the identity. This guy was claiming that the vacuum does not have to be invariant under those. This does not make sense, and is also at odds with how one constructs the theta-vacuum.
This is interesting... being rep capped, having votes beyond rep cap and a downvote will decrease it, another upvote will equalize the downvote rep loss, but nothing more
@ChristianHupfer Personally I think there should be a "soft rep cap", meaning that reputation earned above a certain threshold should only count 1/2 and above another threshold only 1/3 and so on.

I have learned that one should not make changes to a galley proof in order to fix a typographical problem. I asked for a revision changing a two word phrase into a four word one, in order to deal with a seriously underfull line. The misspelled one of the four words and deleted a word, resulting in an line that is both underfull and nonsensical. Never again!
@egreg I don't know if I've posted this before, but the following is a table showing people's judgements on "how good an exemplar of the category even/odd number" is on a scale of 1-7 with 1 being the best. (Number judged is on the left column, mean score on the right.)
@CarLaTeX @PauloCereda A most sadistic example of vivisection! And useless as well. Cut through a human being right in the middle and you are going to find not only billions of bacteria but lots of other disgusting things. This goes to show that some theses ought not be written.

@FaheemMitha The new years resolution is to get a tikz gold badge by answering tikz question with tex primitives, picture mode, or if really pushed pstricks, doing quite well so far this year.
Question. That I don't think is fit for asking at the site: would any of you kings of TeX.SC checkout my answer and let me know if it's bad and why? I'm asking because I feel like I'm doing something naughty to solve the problem: tex.stackexchange.com/a/423517/85834
@AndreasStorvikStrauman \mathrm might not take an argument itself, but calls a macro which does, so nothing bad about writing a wrapper around it. You could do this as well:
@AndreasStorvikStrauman it's pretty strange code but the answer to the question should be "don't do that" so hard to have a good answer (\ifnum\fam=0 mathrm \else not mathrm\fi is the answer but as I say teh question is probably the wrong question)
@samcarter Two things stood out. First, I was expecting \usetikzlibrary{ducks}. Second, I expected ducks to be pics, so that I could write \pic {duck}; and use all the options to pics (particularly with regard to transformations) rather than having to put the duck in a scope.
@AndreasStorvikStrauman all \mathrm or\mathit etc do is change the internal integer \fam to some number between 0 and 15 denoting the 16 math families allowed in a math expression.
@AndreasStorvikStrauman you would do the OP a better service to point out that \mathit{III} and \mathrm{III} need no space and $III$ is the wrong thing to do anyway which is why it needs all the space
@AndreasStorvikStrauman see @DavidCarlisle's answer to my code :) This is what you posted, but it redefines \mathrm and not only adds another \mathrm macro
@DavidCarlisle Yeah. I read your profile bio. Pretty impressive I think. I love to learn, and I've experienced that teaching is one of the best ways to do so. That's kinda why I'm here. That and I love to show off what I know.
@CarLaTeX Don't worry -- all pine apple quantum particles has been extinguished in a short period after the Big Bang when they encountered anti pine apple particles ;-)
i think I broke something but I'm not sure what (specifically \let\protect\noexpand is leaking out of the \begin{macro} index code so is trying to typeset the main text with \protect just turning random commands on to \relax the output isn't pretty. git status says I have a clean checkout so i'm a bit confused
Hi everbody! I’m afraid I’ve been a bit too though, perhaps, with @AndreasStorvikStrauman when he posted his answer to Is it possible to create a macro that changes when $\mathrm$ is applied to it?; I hadn’t followed the discussion that was going on here, and I was somewhat disappointed by an answer apparently “stolen” from someone else…
a question that has nothing to do with tex ... a colleague has about a thousand pages of math manuscripts in ms word, and he's having serious font problems: "that Greek letters as well as \sum and \prod come out as fence bits in Word display but are listed as being in a font called Symbol". (word and i are incompatible, so i can't help.) does anyone here know who or where i might ask, to get him some help?
@GuM -- he reports that he does not have the font called "Symbol", that the .doc file is being interpreted as `.docx', and he needs to know how to do font substitution. (he says that he'd "settle for understanding how to do font substitution for Apple Pages instead, or better, in addition.") the sample he sent me, that i'm trying to read in outlook, is totally garbled, definitely not utf-8. can barely be recognized as french.
@GuM -- i'm afraid that isn't very helpful, but it seems we're pretty code-incompatible. (and thanks for trying to help.)
@GuM -- i think not; i think he's trying to prepare submitted papers (about 30 of them) for a conference, so as long as he can get them to be comprehensible pdf files, it doesn't matter what the source is coded in.
\DeclarePairedDelimiter allows one to define extensible delimiters (for example using the \big option). An example is provided below with double brackets. I need a similar delimiter with triple brackets. As I was unable to find one, I built it from the double bracket symbol found in stmaryd. ...
@GuM I think it might be interesting, the question comes up from time to time, or similar questions like making a double delimiter if the font doesn't have one
@UlrikeFischer it probably wouldn't be hard to make l3build do the equivalent of basename on the test names so any leading directory and trailing extension were removed, then you could use or not use the full filepath
@GuM no of the command shell type start of a filename (or command or environment variable etc) and hit tab and it completes the name as far as possible (actually like the tab completion on user names after @ here)
@DavidCarlisle Yes, that I knew already! For a moment, I hoped something similar existed on this chatline too (cf. the auto-completion function of smartphones), that allowed my to just type, say, hel, and have some javascript code automatically suggest hello, hello everybody, and hello, @PauloCereda as the most commonly used completions.
@GuM yes I thought you'd know what tab completion was, I wondered whether you knew it under a different name, Ulrike was actually referring to github.com/latex3/l3build/issues/63
@DavidCarlisle Ah, OK, thanks. Anyway, as I repeat, many smartphones feature a similar function, so maybe the owners of this site might consider adding it, one day or another…
@DavidCarlisle Isn’t anybody here already mentioning @PauloCereda without any valid reason all the time? ;-)
