@DavidCarlisle Well, you may be aware of the fact that it's very common here to manipulate mopeds so they ride “a tad faster” than allowed.
This reminds me of a Lausanne newspaper I saw on a Swiss train; there were two pages devoted to the case of a kid caught riding at 120 km/h on a small scooter. The funny thing was an interview to an Italian mechanic explaining why this is very dangerous, besides being illegal, and that the kid was Swiss!
If I may slightly change the ambiance, I was wondering how you would write enumeration of math expressions: 1. The variables $x,y,z$ are... 2. The variables $x$, $y$, $z$ are...
@anderstood one of those:-) In a sentence I'd do the second usually, there was a question on site the other day asking same thing, I think @egreg answered it he may be able to find...
@UlrikeFischer I've seen egreg's answer(from 2015) but David was mentionning a more recent one. It does not matter. It's just that it can be tedious if there a lot of elements to list ($a$, $b$, $c$, ...), but that's not really my case anyway :)
Never say never, but I can't think of an instance where you should ever have mathematical operators outside of math mode, including =, when you're writing an equation, or otherwise typesetting maths. This seems to be a common mistake that people make.
Put the entire formula, equation, expression...
@DavidCarlisle I ignore if thanking messages are the rule in chat rooms; now that I already polluted the thread, thanks. I did not feel good at leaving without answering.
@anderstood we don't have many rules in this chatroom other than it is obligatory to ask @PauloCereda if he has finished his thesis at least once a week.
I know this is a basic question, but what would you use to create a new line? \newline? \par? If it's a single line, I mean, not a real full paragraph.
I'd usually leave an empty line, but in this case I have single lines shorter than the text width.
@egreg -- gosh, you beat me again by just a few seconds, as i was about to post a suggestion to use dcases. i guess i'll never even get to 60,000 unless i quit my job ...
@wilx LaTeX3 is usable and part of TeX Live. It's not a new engine, (binary) but a programming layer. There are quite a few packages that are part of TeX Live that are written in it, most notably, fontspec and siunitx. You can find documentation for it by using texdoc expl3.
@wilx @HenriMenke is being technically correct, but for practical purposes, programming using expl3 is using LaTeX3.
@0celo7 We're pretty tolerant of occasional incursions of other languages, especially ones we know. :) And @DavidCarlisle is fluent in all languages and sometimes does simultaneous translations for us when needed.
@ChristianHupfer -- taking my comments out of the main line. i agree that what you're trying to do is pedagogical, and that's good. the only problem i see is that newbies especially, not knowing any better, often take what looks simple entirely at face value, complete with misinterpretation, and essentially cut and paste. that's what i'd like to avoid -- and avoid later questions about why the spacing isn't good.
@0celo7 or time, without going to actually look at the 1892 dissertation I wouldn't know if what is called varietes there is in fact the subject of the chapter, i assume so given the quote
Would anyone know a particular arrow in TeX that match this one, that denotes an automorphism of K?
The symbols was widely used by mathematicians in the beginning o 20th century and is still used in certain circles.
@egreg -- i was just about to comment on that when i saw your comment. (i took time to check the unicode charts and my stix table first. too slow ...) thanks for the comment though -- your explanation is most compelling.
How can I check (using a conditional, preferably) whether an opentype math font is currently loaded (in use)? For example, using the following commands:
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmathfont{LucidaBrightMathOT}
I would like to check (afterwards) if that specific font was really loaded and is...
@egreg -- i'll check with chuck, but first, i'll check with karl to see if this is a known problem. (chuck can say whether there are glitches in the application of diacritics, but he's not a tex user, so "how to check whether an opentype math font is loaded" isn't something he can answer.)
This certainly wins best comment of the week. Thanks @cfr :)
"Documentation for packages often tells you useful stuff like how to stop it from blowing up your computer or how to get the software to do exactly what you want. "
@AlanMunn :-) Strictly speaking, it could be disqualified on the grounds that it is not in a comment. It's just ... I've never used the package before. Its manual is 3 pages long. And page 2 gives you the command to copy-paste. I mean ... If the answer was somewhere in the TikZ manual, it'd be different. But 3 pages?!
