@BAYMAX there is no difference in file format you just need to run latex rather than pdflatex or configure your editor to do that. or save your images as pdf instead of eps

@BAYMAX pdflatex nowadays handles eps without problems.

Thank you @DavidCarlisle @UlrikeFischer

David Carlisle

@BAYMAX it doesn't really matter but why do you have eps? I'd expect most programs that generate eps can generate pdf instead these days.

Q: Babel angry, many bbl errors

I'm sorry for the vague description, but I don't have much clue what exactly is going wrong. I would like to include Greek in a LaTeX document. I'm not ready/able/willing/knowledgeable enough to switch to teTeX or LuaTeX now, so I try doing the following perhaps unprepossessing thing: \documentcl...

You don't want to see babel when it's agry

@JosephWright I'm sure the real babel is never angry, that was an imposter.

samcarter

according to google, this is what an angry babel looks like: img.allfootballapp.com/www/M00/6F/F3/…

I just got an upvote on apple.se on a question from 2012 about Eudora crashing. Crazy.

@JosephWright I get way too many github notifications lately... :)

Joseph Wright

@Skillmon :)

@Skillmon I'm trying to get though some of our PRs

Skillmon

@JosephWright understandable. I have a few open ones as well...

Joseph Wright

@Skillmon Seeing what I can get done to parallel the upcoming dev release of the kernel (I'll need to do an expl3 release to support new features)

Skillmon

@JosephWright oh, new features! The regex code or the ltkeys thingy?

Joseph Wright

@Skillmon ltkeys

@Skillmon Regex is purely expl3

Skillmon

19:27

@JosephWright just use expkv for the kernel :P

Joseph Wright

@Skillmon :)

@Skillmon Of course, the tricky part is not the keyval implementation (which could have been keyval itself, if we'd done this years ago)

Skillmon

(I think the different \csname prefix would be doable even with nesting. l3keys already pushes things on a "stack" to get nestability, adding another internal variable wouldn't be too much of a hassle, imho)

@JosephWright obviously :)

Joseph Wright

@Skillmon Speaking of keyvals, next on the bigger tasks lists is something like \keys_digest:nnN to work: turn keya = value into a tl containing \tl_set:Nn \l__my_a_tl { value } (like xtemplate but using l3keys)

Skillmon

@JosephWright what's the complete semantics?

(should be doable pretty fast with double expanding a \keyval_parse:nnn call, depending on what the n-type arguments are)

Joseph Wright

@Skillmon One for an email I think - give me five minutes
