TeX, LaTeX and Friends

@DavidCarlisle Thanks, voted.

@PauloCereda true but if you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious.

@DavidCarlisle :)

@DavidCarlisle, @egreg: ^^ overfull hbox. :)

@ChristianHupfer Where did you find the class so quickly? MNRAS

@Johannes_B: CTAN ... and I've downloaded it for another answer some time ago... you know, my super sophisticated StackExchange folder on my computer :-P

5:13 PM

@ChristianHupfer Everything landing in the same folder here. goLaTeX, LC, Texwelt, mrunix, TeX.SX sometimes mailing lists ...

ls -la *.tex | wc -l
2357

@Johannes_B: Just one platform... that's enough for me.... There is nothing than TeX.SX :-P

@Johannes_B: You beat me ... Only 1249 *.tex files :D

@ChristianHupfer i have twice that, but on 5 different sites.

@ChristianHupfer So, you win.

@Maïeul hmm perhaps that wasn't quite right:

[53436] [53437] [53438] [53439] [53440] [53441] [53442] [53443] [53444]
[53445] [53446] [53447] [53448]
! Interruption.

Output written on ff399.pdf (53448 pages, 9418513 bytes).

my example or you solution=

I also obtained that

(stop before!)

@Maïeul my solution:-)

5:17 PM

@Johannes_B: Anyway, the mn2e.cls file is quite old, from 2001

@DavidCarlisle I am happy that a brilliant specialist of (La)TeX has same problem :-)

@ChristianHupfer Saw that, it is also on sharelatex. Now my question, what does the OP mean by Font and look of equations? Is there anything special?

@Maïeul I'm tempted to answer with the Jill Knuth quote and call it done:-)

rho :)

@Johannes_B: From the guide *.pdf to that class file I would say no... looks like standard cm fonts

5:20 PM

@ChristianHupfer Even if not, in which way could the copyright of the class file prevent using a font?

@ChristianHupfer If the journal isn't owner/licenser of the font.

@Johannes_B: The font is a secondary issue, but equation formatting?

@ChristianHupfer What does equation formatting mean here? Does he want to have serif math?

That would clearly be a duplicaate?

@Johannes_B: The question is unclear, in my point of view. I am just looking into the class

@PauloCereda I can even write Constantinopolitanischerdudelsackpfeifenmachergesellschafft

@egreg Oh my!

5:24 PM

@Johannes_B: The class file just uses only 3 packages (graphicx, dcolumn and natbib), all the rest is done without LoadClass... the long hard way

@ChristianHupfer shame about the third

@ChristianHupfer I have fleqn.clo dated 1998

@Johannes_B: Me too...

@ChristianHupfer Is it a lack of knowledge, a simple wtf do i care? or just laziness? Which sane mind would do something like this? i.stack.imgur.com/bf6lH.jpg

5:39 PM

@Johannes_B: What's that? A screenshot of some code?

@ChristianHupfer listings !breaklines tex.stackexchange.com/questions/227820/…

@Johannes_B too dummy to use a computer? :)

@PauloCereda I dunno.

:-)

@Johannes_B: I am confused.... @PauloCereda: The liver guy confused me ...

@ChristianHupfer I can confuse quite easy these days :-p Is the reason on my or your side?

5:42 PM

@ChristianHupfer Das Banana!

@PauloCereda: Das böse Ente :-P

@ChristianHupfer Oh nein! :)

@ChristianHupfer My version is correct according to Mark Twain. Germans may have different ideas. :)

5:58 PM

@egreg: Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) was an American... not a German...

6:18 PM

@Maïeul on your hbox footnotes question, I think you asked it in a better form here with some context, just asking for a different way to generate the same thing isn't likely to motivate any real answers. I could insert \relax and it would be different but not what you want...

@egreg Got a Q to dupe at hand? tex.stackexchange.com/questions/186541/…

Q: plain TeX and paragraphed notes

hum, i will try to add more context

@DavidCarlisle is clearer now?

0

The TeXbook propose, p. 398sq, a system to obtain paragraphed note. That is, instead to obtain Footnote. Footnote. Footnote obtain : Footnote 2. Footnote 3. Footnote. In the same paragraph. This system is used by some package like footmisc and eledmac. As maintener ...

footnotes tex-core plain-tex

@Johannes_B Maybe tex.stackexchange.com/questions/246/…

@egreg Sounds like a good one. :-)

@Johannes_B Done (with my superpowers!)

6:30 PM

@Maïeul yes makes the question harder though:-)

@DavidCarlisle that is 2 year I am blocking on these 2 questions.

@egreg :-) I haven't run out of close votes

What would a reasonable approach to make a list of comma separated strings unique? Sort them, then remove adjacent elements?

for the first, I have a pist, which consist to split the longnotes before inserting them, but it's dirty

Joseph Wright

@FaheemMitha expl3: \clist_remove_duplicates:N?

6:31 PM

for the other one :(

@JosephWright Wow.

Usage example?

what package is this in?

@Maïeul we could add it to the wish list for the latex3 xor output routine..

Ah, expl3 I guess.

Joseph Wright

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{expl3}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\clist_set:Nn \l_tmpa_clist { a , a , b , c , d , a , d }
\clist_remove_duplicates:N \l_tmpa_clist
\clist_show:N \l_tmpa_clist

@DavidCarlisle that will be great !

@DavidCarlisle but for the present case, for the first problem, I will keep the dirty way to publish in eledpar, except if someone find other way...

6:35 PM

@Maïeul xor has been in development for over 20 years,and it's not finished yet, so that might not be the quickest rout to a working solution:-)

yes I think :)

so, too much LaTeX for today. Now, Harry Potter (and tomorrow, thesis!)
