@HaraldHanche-Olsen -- The absence of an "fj" ligature is, in my opinion, a miserable oversight. The word "fjord" occurs often enough in English to be troublesome, especially if one happens to be interested in geography or geology. I've been reading a biography of Hermann Zapf (and will write a review of the book). It was interesting to note that the original design of one font did include an "fj" ligature, but it was excluded from the final implementation; (cont'd)
(cont'd) Now you've convinced me that I need to go back and check which font it was, and include that information in the review. (Thanks for the idea.)

@DiegoBneiNoah: He is still active. No need to worry.

I think StackExchange is an addictive site.

Why my edit have been rejected ?!?
 
@Matheod hidelinks=true doesn't lead to an error, you only get a (harmless) warning. So the comment you made for the edit is wrong.
 
well, it's still better to fix the line to avoid this harmless warning by using the good code
 
@Matheod sure, but if you edit you should add a correct comment and not claim that your edit corrects an error which isn't there. But beside this: simply ping one of the people who rejected your edit and clarify the issue.
 
I ping him by commenting the answer ?
 
@Matheod you can do it here in the chat, they are both here.

@Ra
@Raaja Why are you rejecting my edit ? I updated the edit comment to warning instead of error. https://tex.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/175948
I don't see how « This edit deviates from the original intent of the post. »

@JosephWright I more or less finished the xform code for pdf/luatex and xdvipdfmx. But I don't think that I can do the dvips version - I looked at pdfbase and the attachfile2 driver and I think this needs someone with more knowledge.
 
@UlrikeFischer That would be me? Or @AlexG?
 
@Matheod First of all sorry for the second reject, that was unintentional, I just realised that it was a different edit suggestion after I rejected it.
 
@JosephWright who ever feel inclined to look at it ;-). Btw: currently the xform command has four arguments, but imho #3 (resources) should go, it should grab the resources automatically from the environment and the content. I only leaving it for now to be able to test with manual values.

@UlrikeFischer -- Has your heffalump got a name? (Or is it not a heffalump?)
 
12:40 PM
@UlrikeFischer YAY!
@barbarabeeton ooh and woozles?
 
@barbarabeeton not yet - quite new and still a bit shy ;-)
 
@barbarabeeton I simply love how heffalumps and woozles are "translated" to Portuguese: efalantes (close to elefantes = elephants) and dinonhas (close to doninhas = weasels).
 
@PauloCereda -- and what about Wol?
 
@barbarabeeton Corujão (literally Big Owl). :)
@barbarabeeton: Piglet: Leitão, Eeyore: Bisonho, Kanga: Can, Roo: Guru, Rabbit: Abel, Tigger: Tigrão, Wol: Corujão

@egreg Nice Starbucks photo. Did you know in Australia, Starbucks is a complete failure? They closed 70% of their stores in 2008 and the only people who go to their stores now are tourists. In Australia we take our coffee very seriously and no one in their right mind pays for expensive bad coffee from Starbucks.
Also, can I just say for the benefit of those of you from England: Nice opening test match :)
 
@DavidPurton In Italy there are a few, all in very touristic places.
 
@DavidPurton has the series started yet? I hadn't noticed.
 
ooh cricket?
 
@DavidCarlisle ;)
 
@DavidCarlisle My husband said you probably got a lot of work done yesterday. Not much cricket to distract you.
 
1:15 PM
@PauloCereda indeed.
@UlrikeFischer grin

@AlanMunn LOLOLOLOL
Almost had a seizure though

@AlanMunn ah, the good old times of the intarwebz...when everything was less intrusive.
what is the purpose of adding latex at the head of MWE code?
 
> Out of the nearly 200 countries in the world, only 22 of them have never experienced a British invasion.
hmmm
 
@PauloCereda Citation?
Random question - has anyone here ever experimented with SILE? Simon Cozens had na article in TUGboat in 2017 - tug.org/TUGboat/tb38-1/tb118cozens.pdf
 
@PauloCereda and none is probably duck free.
 
2:44 PM
@PauloCereda if you are feeling left out, something could be arranged...
@FaheemMitha I have watched a couple of talks, and read that paper, not actually tried it
 
@DavidCarlisle Ok.
 
3:03 PM
is there a way to mirror a photo in moderncv?
 
3:13 PM
@naphaneal \reflectbox{\includegraphics{zzz}} ?
 
@DavidCarlisle backstop? :)
^^ Brexit jargon :)
@FaheemMitha lost the link, might take a while...
@UlrikeFischer quack :)
@naphaneal ooh Justin Timberlake
 
@PauloCereda or no-brexit jargon :(
 
@DavidCarlisle oh
@DavidCarlisle my brain hurts every time I try to read Brexit stuff from the BBC.
