Hello everyone

Romain Picot

06:33

An user start to promote is own website that reformats a LaTeX code. 3 answers this morning. This should be considered as spam or not?

4 since I wrote my message...

David Carlisle

@Max ask a question (with a proper example) on teh site, that's what it is there for!

@RomainPicot possibly not spam but you can always flag for moderator attention, they can have a word with the user if they are abusing the site

@JosephWright odd, that missing number error report for ltluatex

Romain Picot

@DavidCarlisle I've let a comment to one of his answer, saying that this could be considered as spam and he apologies. I think it's fine so

David Carlisle

@RomainPicot OK all's well then:-)

Max

07:25

@DavidCarlisle I will, I usually try to rule out idiotic mistakes on my part before I open a question here.

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle Yes: I wonder if it's due to the things we did between 2015/01/01 and the two patch levels

Joseph Wright

07:48

@DavidCarlisle I don't see it with 2015/10/01 PL1 or 2015/01/01 PL2

David Carlisle

@JosephWright just got in to work, see no further info. Most of the PL1 patch just concerned latexrelease.sty (and \newtoks) but who knows...

@Max don't do that! @egreg, relies on a steady stream of easy questions to keep his rep count up.

egreg

@DavidCarlisle Or ones that require a deep knowledge of the TeXbook. :P

@RomainPicot The problem is that the advertised site does exactly nothing to the input pasted in the box.

@RomainPicot I left a comment on one of the answers.

David Carlisle

@egreg oh Igor again, I see, we should just buy him a copy of the book:-)

egreg

@DavidCarlisle I believe he owns one.

Romain Picot

@egreg I must say that I haven't tried. I'm at work and may have some proxy problems

egreg

08:03

@RomainPicot If you're at work you should be working! ;-) @DavidCarlisle is never at work, so it's not a problem if he's chatting here. :P

Romain Picot

@egreg I'm working on an article so with LaTeX, so it's part of my work :P

David Carlisle

@egreg "pot calling the kettle black" my mother would say

egreg

@DavidCarlisle I have never claimed to be at work. Maybe to be in my office, which doesn't mean be working. :P

@egreg :-)

egreg

@DavidCarlisle And I promise I won't be chatting or answering during my lecture. ;-)

Assuming the train will take me to destination: it's taking quite a longer time than usual. :)

Q: I am new to LaTex/Tex/XeLaTex.. How to Learn?

New to LaTeX Coding. I am using typesetting(using latex coding) for math equations in IEEE Projects. I want to learn end to end latex coding.

learning

Wouldn't this be a good dupe of

Q: What are good learning resources for a LaTeX beginner?

Which book (free or otherwise) was the most useful to you when you started learning LaTeX? I am frequently asked this question by friends who want to learn LaTeX, and I recommend the book which got me started, The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX2ε, but I feel that there might be better option...

Hallo there

Johannes_B

Hi @Manofzelego

Enthusiastic Student

Hi.... I have a problem in vertical spacing in my CV document...

The space after ordinary paragraphs is much more than space after the lists....

Is there any option to adjust and equal these globally?

Romain Picot

@Johannes_B Seems for me

Manofzelego

@Johannes_B Yeah I agree

Johannes_B

10:06

@EnthusiasticStudent Impossible to answer. We need to see a sample document, there are many many many CV examples out there. Please ask a question on site, easier to give advice there.

Enthusiastic Student

@Johannes_B Yes. Is it possible that I am using this option on my permeable? \setlist[enumerate]{topsep=0pt,after=\vspace{2\baselineskip}}

Manofzelego

Man this is a really nice chat application heh

Johannes_B

@EnthusiasticStudent In principle, yes.

Enthusiastic Student

@Johannes_B Ah... I omitted that syntax and everything looks fine now!

Thanks by the way and sorry for interrupting and wasting your time...

yo'

@Manofzelego Indeedz, one of the bestest and mostest undervalued features of SE :-)

Manofzelego

10:15

@yo' Now I can ask questions before asking questions! Wonderful! :D

yo'

@Manofzelego But please, do not do that too much. It seems easier to ask a poorly stated question in the chat. However, if the question is not really trivial, it is really more time consuming for everybody; also, no other people than you can profit from it.

Manofzelego

@yo' true..

Romain Picot

Chat must stay a place to speak about food, duck and nothing related to (La)TeX. Obvious for TeX.SE chat :-)

Manofzelego

ducks? :D

Ducks are the best

Romain Picot

@Manofzelego of course :-)

Q: How can I define a unique vertical spacing value for all parts of my document which has lists and paragraphs?

I am trying to make my CV in LaTeX and I am not using a specific package for CV. I am coding it myself. My problem is that the space after normal paragraphs and the space after the lists are not the same. (spaces which are shown with red arrows in picture.) Also, the vertical space between my l...

Question posted...

Johannes_B

@RomainPicot You missed cricket :-)

Enthusiastic Student

@Johannes_B Is there any specific cricket match going on these days? Because all the people specifically in TeX chatroom are talking about cricket! :))

Johannes_B

@EnthusiasticStudent Not that i am aware of, i am not a cricket guy. I can tell you about delicious food ;-)

Enthusiastic Student

@Johannes_B I love cooking and food....

Manofzelego

@EnthusiasticStudent Food's good.

David Carlisle

11:03

@EnthusiasticStudent we keep bringing cricket up to fill any gaps in the conversation, otherwise people are tempted to chat about TeX, which is so dull. The original reason for introducing it was to interrupt @egreg and @PauloCereda's never ending discussions about football.

Enthusiastic Student

@DavidCarlisle wise decision for introducing it... but I prefer volleyball more... :)

Manofzelego

@DavidCarlisle Hmm, I don't sportsball very good :p
