Quick question to the LaTeX devs: Are Sockets already in use? Didn't find any in the newest latex.ltx. If not, are there plans to build them into the LaTeX Kernel and if so, where?
@Lupino yes, e.g. in array.sty, lttagging.dtx, hyperref. Mostly related to the tagging code currently, but hyperref uses them also for other things. They will get more, everytime we change some code, sockets will be considered.
Hey folks, just wanted to drop a heads-up about this QA -- the user has a history of posting vague, poorly-received questions on sites around the network
2
They bump their Qs with invisible edits (seen in side-by-side markdown view) and get very angry if their question goes unanswered
I previously highlighted this over in The Heap (DBA chat room) when they posted a question there-- there's more context there, including their Wikipedia editing ban
they've been suspended on a couple of network sites here for poor questions / being disruptive
like I said over to the DBA folks:
> How y'all handle it is your business of course, but just wanted to let you know some of the background :)
I'll hang around for a bit if there's any follow-up; I find their behaviour a bit frustrating and don't want people potentially wasting time on something not asked in good faith
@bertieb Thanks for the heads up. It looks like we'll close the question; the user actually accepted an answer that doesn't in fact answer the question. Hopefully they'll get bored of us.
