Hi. Is there a way to do case sensitive searching in Latex, specifically Texshop?

@CarLaTeX :)

@CarLaTeX If so TeX - LaTeX StackExchange is becoming Duck - LaDuck StackExchange :))

@Avantgarde Yes, in the same OgreKit panel that I showed you earlier, there's an Ignore Case check box. If it's unchecked, searches will be case sensitive.

@AlanMunn Great, thanks!

I wonder what's so Ogre-like about that kit.

@Avantgarde No idea, but it's very powerful. :)

@Avantgarde It's actually an acronym for Oniguruma Regular Expression, where Oniguruma is the regular expression engine it uses. (It was written by someone who is Japanese.) The word apparently means 'ghost wheel'.

@JouleV Can we make it Duck -- Marmot exchange? ;-)

@marmot It is great!

@JouleV OK, deal. ;-)

@marmot Are you going to TUG2019? It's sort of around the corner from where you live.

@HenriMenke I don't think so. I would have to drive through LA, and given the traffic there you will be probably have a shorter trip from New Zealand. ;-)

@marmot Fair enough. I will be going (I sort of have to after my abstract was accepted) and it might be a good opportunity to meet up and discuss the future of PGF.

@AlanMunn Interesting

@HenriMenke I really doubt I will go there. The year already gets jammed up increasingly fast. I guess it might be better if we Skype some time before that. "The future of pgf" ... that sounds scary. Are you concerned?

@marmot I just want to discuss a wishlist of features and how to improve PGF in general.

@marmot You are a power user so I'm sure you have suggestions.

@marmot I was actually proposing coming to LA before or after TUG.

@HenriMenke That would be great! (Most years around that time of the year I was traveling, and it is not clear what the schedule will be this year.) But meeting would be great!

Hello guys!

Err... I do not what is going on...

I just entered to TeXnicCenter and I realized that I only have LaTeX->PS output..:

Maybe it is because it is going to be the first time to compile a project? If so, I never noticed it, and I do not want to compile two or three times to see if it continues to break :S. What should I do?

I want to compile the proyect using LaTeX->PDF output

@marmot I sent you an extractor script for code examples.

@marmot You can run it with luatex --luaonly extract.lua

CONFIRMED: Compiled twice and the other outputs are still missing ???

I have also gone to Build -> Select Output Profile and there is only the LaTeX->PS option. Please help me!!

@marmot we have our own tools in the form of sharp claws (I guess ;)). As far as ducks are concerned, not much of a comment can be expected from me.

@Skillmon Figured it out how to edit! Thanks.

SOLVED: I have gone to Buid -> Wizard... -> followed the instructions to create the other outputs!!

Why did this happen? It was very scary and weird!

@JouleV lol

I think we have a new integrant of our Duck show - @JouleV!!

I think we need to play Pinturillo... :)

@CarLaTeX @manooooh :D lol

@Blue maybe it is but the used font isn't the standard one. (no clue though)

@Blue I'd say $\mathfrak{H}$.

People are tagging [Overleaf] way to often, imho. Just because they use it as an editor it still has nothing to do with bibliography.

@Skillmon but how else are we to get a overleaf gold badge? We'd have to know something about the system...

@DavidCarlisle don't ask me, I don't know much about its system either. I mainly give LaTeX support for them.

@DavidCarlisle how do you include the tags into chat?

@Skillmon [tag:foobar]

@DavidCarlisle well, that I might be able to remember.

@Skillmon I need to know that so I can write I have a tikz-pgf gold badge whenever anyone queries my level of tikz knowledge.

@DavidCarlisle hm

@HenriMenke Thanks!

@DavidCarlisle A bounty for you: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/298324/…

@CarLaTeX would: \begin{picture}\includegraphics{<image-file-containing-that-plot>}\end{picture}‌​ work?

@Skillmon Perfectly!

@CarLaTeX @samcarter stolen it already:-) (good job the OP only asked for a quadratic:-)

@DavidCarlisle I'm sorry you arrived too late, lol

@DavidCarlisle If the OP would have asked for a picture mode duck, I would have waited for you :)

@samcarter I thought you were going to say, if the OP had asked for anything requiring tikz you woudl wait for me.

@DavidCarlisle No, your golden tikz badge shines too bright and I don't have my sun glasses with me

@DavidCarlisle Big deal. The manual only has slightly more than 1000 pages. How could one not know what is in? ;-)

@samcarter ^^^The Bär was with us on the slopes today ... ("operation l'ours")

@UlrikeFischer Oh! It looks like he had a warm place to enjoy the slopes!

@HenriMenke Your script works great! (I only had to change one path, but this was obvious even to me. ;-)

@marmot marmots are good with paths

@PauloCereda Of course! Otherwise we would never find the way out of our burrows.

@marmot :)

@marmot Huh???

@ChristianHupfer You were comparing a meta post with a prosecution statement, and there was another post of this sort but the names got replaced by so-and-so by now so you now it is hard to understand what I meant to say.

@marmot Your recent meta question? Didn't take a look for days now -- I have cut down my time for SE again...

@ChristianHupfer I have no recent meta question. And I do not prosecute. I try to focus on the second part, "cute". ;-)

@marmot Sorry, I must be especially stupid today, but I can't follow you.... and recent may refer to 'a couple of weeks ago' ;-)

@ChristianHupfer Well, there was a few weeks ago a meta post in which some users, who were named explicitly, were accused of some things (which they actually did not do, but this does not even matter here). You compared this to a prosecution. Now a similar event happened again.

@marmot Ah... that post...

@ChristianHupfer Yes. Notice that the explicit names have been removed in the recent post, which is good.

@marmot I'll take a look later on... (trying to find the removed names ;-)

@ChristianHupfer Just let it be. This is IMHO not worth getting even more attention.

@marmot We pay too much attention to 'nothingness' anyway, so it doesn't matter ;-)

@ChristianHupfer True. I just wanted to point out you may not enjoy what you'll get to see.

@marmot Some familiar names amongst them?

@ChristianHupfer Nope. (But an astounding similarity of the colors of the auto-generated avatars of all of them.)

github.com/samcarter/picducks

@DavidCarlisle ^^^

@samcarter ooh

@samcarter great ;-)

Now nobody will dare to call the ducks silly any more :)

Hello friends. I'd like to know if there is a package to help us to define counters and give labels to them, so that we could refer using \ref.

I need to create a list of documents with its number and a description, and somewhere in text I'd like to refer some docs.

I suppose the solution could be simple and so no question in SE would be necessary.

@Sigur This isn't really that difficult to do without much of a package, just define a counter, and then create markup to introduce them. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem.

@AlanMunn, thanks for attention. So, suppose the counter foo and a command \doc to step it and prints its value.

@Sigur Depending on how the list of documents is done it could be done basically with an enumerate environment even.

I'd like to insert a label to it to refer it. But when I use the \doc again, with or without label, the previous one should be memorized.

@AlanMunn, so, the number of documents has no relation with the enumerate.

The problem is related to this question of mine: tex.stackexchange.com/q/470788/14757

@Sigur I guess you'll get a faster answer if you actually post a new question. I'm not quite sure from your description here the actual use case, and I need to go and teach.

@AlanMunn, don't worry. Thanks. I'll try to make a mwe and ask there. Regards and good class.

@Sigur any counter may be used with \label if it's incremented with \refstepcounter

@samcarter oddly only one person has starred that github repository

@DavidCarlisle, so simply replacing stepcounter by refstepcounter, when I use the command to step it and prints it followed by a label command, the label willl save the counter value to be called with ref?

@DavidCarlisle, I'll try it. Thanks.

@DavidCarlisle How do you know?

@Sigur yes the ref-feature isn't tied to the counter it works with any counter stepped with refstepcounter (or actually anything at all that defines \@currentlabel)

@marmot because the github site shows the number 1 in the starred box at the top of the repository

@DavidCarlisle I see. I thought you meant by person "neither duck nor marmot". ;-)

@marmot you got mail

@CarLaTeX Si signora. (Need to go to a meeting now...)

@marmot don't worry, no hurry :)

@JosephWright could you please decide what should happen to tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/8053/…. As I already said, I'd be fine if it was moved to the main site and marked community-wiki or something. But I want to add a link to it in the comments of tex.stackexchange.com/questions/471532/… and having a fixed destination for that would be nice.

@Skillmon thank you :) Uploaded the thesis yesterday. You have been acknowledged

@DavidCarlisle Thank you for all the help. You've been acknowledged in my thesis.

@UlrikeFischer thank you for all the help with the latex-related issues in the thesis.

Thanks to all folks here who helped me. I could not individually name everyone

@Krishna thank you very much for finding me worthy to be named :)

@Skillmon I was genuinely touched by how you made a custom code for a specific use-case and emailed it to me on the day of thesis upload.

@Krishna well, since I had almost everything of that code done before, the effort wasn't too big, and I just felt like it that evening :)

Well.. Just came here to say thank you. That's all. Funny, now that the PhD is over, I feel a sudden void :)

anyway, shall leave here for now. Bye

@Krishna :-) Good luck with the Viva (do you know when that will be?)

@Skillmon Done

@DavidCarlisle, just to inform that your sugestion to use refstepcounter worked very well. Thanks.

@Sigur :-)

@Krishna bonus points for Jorge Cham!

@JosephWright thank you very much. Is it ok to bother you once more this evening? Could you remove the now obsolete comments about meta/main.

@DavidCarlisle Sorry, viva was done in November. I uploaded the final version of record today post minor corrections suggested by the examiners. This will be available online soon

@Skillmon Will do

@Skillmon I am not familiar with the current physics macros, but I imagine lots of PDEs and ODEs. The diffcoeff package is amazing in this regard. I am concerned that you may duplicate the effort

@DavidCarlisle Sorry that I was unclear earlier, and understand why you thought so. Normally, it is expected that the examiners get to see acknowledgements, but in my case I couldn't deliver it on time

@Skillmon I agree to a large extent with @Krishna. The current version of the physics package has some additional macros for typesetting trigonometric functions and differentials. All other things are IMHO more confusing than helpful (and, as observed by others, also not well implemented). I like the behavior of the braket macros much better than what physics does with regards of the Dirac notation.

@barbarabeeton Do you know if it would be allowed to use the image tug.org/tug2019/tug2019-color.jpg if I would create an add for TUG2019 for this question: tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/8048/… ?

@samcarter I guess not. Californian universities stress diversity, and there is no marmot on the picture. ;-)

@marmot The marmot is in the burrow beneath the green hill

@samcarter Californian universities are also fighting against stereotypes, so I guess that does not fly either. Besides, there is no koala nor a mouse.

@marmot Unfortunately the lion was hungry, so the mouse is already inside the lion, but the missing koala might be a problem.

@samcarter OMG. Poor mouse.
