Q: What does manyfoot do to multicol that footmisc does not?

If I use the footmisc package for paragraph footnotes: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{multicol} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage[para]{footmisc} \begin{document} \begin{multicols}{2} \lipsum[1] \footnote{This is a test.}\footnote{This is a test.}\footnote{This is a test.} \footnote{This is a...

@UlrikeFischer Seems like moderncv got an update on github. After just over a year.

LaRiFaRi

Guten Morgen! I got stuck with my Lua-Compilations and do not understand why. As I am not too sure on how to explain the error, I try asking here first. Maybe there has been some change in the last time which I did not notice.

I cannot use fontspec with LuaLaTeX anymore.

font not found errors. The error pops up from fontenc.sty. Which is quite strange.

Seems as I am using LuaTeX Version 1.0.0 from MiKTeX 2.9.6100. So everything up to date.

When running luaotfload-tool --upgrade I get a fatal error telling me taht I need a Luatex version higher than 0.95.0. So there is something clearly broken.

I have updated and rebuild all formats in MiKTeX and now I do not know how to proceed. Does something of this sound familar to you or should I open a new question?

Ulrike Fischer

@LaRiFaRi See github.com/lualatex/luaotfload/issues/387

Paulo Cereda

Guten Kartofel!

LaRiFaRi

@UlrikeFischer thanks for the link. At the moment, I have kicked MiKTeX from my computer and trying texlive for Win for the first time. I will see, if this works. A reinstallation of MiKTeX some minutes ago had so many errors that I am chosing a new approach now. We'll see.

@PauloCereda haha. Same to you!

Paulo Cereda

@LaRiFaRi Ein Bier und ein Mineralwasser, bite. :)

Ulrike Fischer

@LaRiFaRi No need to kick it from the computer if you have enough space -- I have both and so can test the new luatex which will be in texlive only in 2017.

Paulo Cereda

@LaRiFaRi: don't forget the duck contest. :)

I've finally given up with endfloat. Is there an alternative way to insert lines between paragraphs that read, "Table x about here"?

In a current scrartcl you can use \documentclass[12pt,a4paper, egregdoesnotlikesansseriftitles]{scrartcl} to get serif headings. — Ulrike Fischer 14 hours ago

^^^ This actually works! :D

Paulo Cereda

@HenriMenke LOLOLOL

egreg

@PauloCereda There is even LaTeX for Visual Studio Code!

Paulo Cereda

10:14

@egreg Oh my!

Ulrike Fischer

@HenriMenke Didn't you trust me? ;-((((

LaRiFaRi

@UlrikeFischer I know, but somehow I got other problems here. Could not update with the new installation... I dunno. Just kicked ot for now. I will reinstall later, I guess. But a good possibility to test TL16 on Win for now. Hopefully this works.

@PauloCereda With this German you could survive over here. That's for sure.

:-)

Paulo Cereda

@LaRiFaRi oooh

Hallo, Ich bin ein Ente! Ein Bier und ein kartofel, bite! Heute trinke Ich zwei Coca-Cola!

egreg

@HenriMenke Best option name ever!

LaRiFaRi

@PauloCereda Hallo Ente. Es heißt "bitte" und "Kartoffel"! Double consonants, when pronounced quickly. And due to our biggest virtue, our modesty, we write "ich" in lower case. The rest was perfect. Are you taking classes or learing Pub-German on business trips to Germany?

Paulo Cereda

10:35

@LaRiFaRi ooh :) I took a few German classes back in 2007, but I had to give up because of time constraints. I don't know anything, just a few random sentences. :)

LaRiFaRi

@PauloCereda yeah, it's a really difficult language. But don't give up! Add \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} to your preamble and you should be safe to go! :-)

Paulo Cereda

@LaRiFaRi awww <3

@LaRiFaRi One of my motivations for these particular classes was the teacher, she was really cute. :)

LaRiFaRi

Puh, tex live is a big package... installing and installing... well. I will test in the afternoon. See you later guys. Thanks for the help.

@PauloCereda haha. Yeah. Sometime even happening for Germans... But I guess there are more cute brasileiro teachers around and still I do not speak a word...

Paulo Cereda

@LaRiFaRi :)

LaRiFaRi

@PauloCereda gonna go. Keep practicing! See you later.

Would it be possible to generate a microdot using LaTeX into PDF? I.e., hide some text into some full stop in the text of the PDF?

Joseph Wright

@wilx You can make a shaped paragraph and scale it

@wilx Remember the text will appear 'as is' in the raw PDF stream unless you make it into an image

wilx

@JosephWright I see. I know. This is not something to be actually secret. Just a fun thing to think about. :)

Torbjørn T.

@wilx Slightly related: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/152532/…

Joseph Wright

@wilx In that case, perfectly doable: I guess the issue really is getting enough greyness in the dot

wilx

@TorbjørnT. Thanks. Indeed.

Moin moin. I have a short question. It looks like in Komascript \subjectname is for Betreff or Subject. But I need to write my letter in French. And now subjectname is concernant. But I would like to change it to l'objet

How do I change the content of subjectname, please?

David Carlisle

@Gudrun unless your french babel option has changed it for you already just \renewcommand\subjectname{l'objet} probably works

Gudrun

I found: \renewcaptionname{french}{\subjectname}{L'objet}

Page 280 in Koma script

David Carlisle

@Gudrun oh a manual, didn't occur to me to look in one of those:-)

Gudrun

Really? I thought you know this manual by heart!

How do I do French babel?

I have
\usepackage[french]{babel}

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle ooh

David Carlisle

16:01

@Gudrun yes that's what I meant. That changes many \***name macros to french (eg for table of contents and all other fixed strings that it knows about), but it can't know about all strings in all packages, which is why I wasn't sure (as I don't normally use komascript or French)

Dear CEO,

(If you are not the person who is in charge of this, please forward this to your CEO, because this is urgent. If this email affects you, we are very sorry, please ignore this email. Thanks)

We are a Network Service Company which is the domain name registration center in China.
We received an application from Huayi Ltd on November 6, 2016. They want to register " arara.name " as their Internet Keyword and " arara.name .cn "、" arara.name .com.cn " 、" arara.name .net.cn "、" arara.name .org.cn " 、" arara.name .asia " domain names, they are in China and Asia domain names. But after c…

Gudrun

Yes, but subjectname is changed to "concernant" , but I want "L'objet"

So I had to change it anyway

Paulo Cereda

Apparently, I am a CEO!

David Carlisle

@Gudrun the renewcommand would work but you need to do it after begin{document} as babel will set it to french using its version at that point, however the proper babel way is to declare to babel what string to use for \subjectname, @PauloCereda is probably more familiar with these things (I don't use babel much, being English...)

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle ooh hold on

\addto\captionsfrench{\renewcommand{\thingyhere}{Le thingy ici}}

@PauloCereda your French is as fluent as your Portuguese, I see,

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle I is smart. :)

@DavidCarlisle so I didn't win the Nobel in Physics? :(

David Carlisle

@PauloCereda you would, if you submitted your thesis (and it was about physics)

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle ~~also, my thesis had to be written~~ bah physics. :)

wilx

@PauloCereda How much of it do you have done?

Paulo Cereda

@wilx a... fair amount? :)

David Carlisle

@wilx duck counting pages 0,1,many

Paulo Cereda

16:17

@DavidCarlisle ooh I like it

David Carlisle

@PauloCereda have you got to "many" yet?

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle yes! :)

@PauloCereda should be enough then, call it done.

Q: How to use both English and Greek (Tex Live & pdflatex) and even Hebrew easily in one document

After looking around for a while, having checked the Not-So-Short Introduction to LaTeX 2e (2.5.5) and even after having found some sources on the internet, I still could not get this to work. I have been fighting with the problem for a while and it almost seems futile to continue. It must work t...

David Carlisle

16:39

@JosephWright meanwhile I rebuilt luatex (random number generator still wrong :( )

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle but... but... it's random!

David Carlisle

@PauloCereda at least Oxford gets named correctly:

West Norsussex is east of East Norwessex, but they're both far north of Middlesex and West Norwex.

@PauloCereda no it's very un-random gives a missing number error each time....

r9m

hi .. can someone tell me how to install a .sty file in latex? (I'm on ubuntu 14.04)

Johannes_B

Have a look at the bottom image of the OP and the text just above it. latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=97198#p97198

David Carlisle

@r9m normally your package manager does it for you, but if you just have a one-off .sty just put it in same directory as your docuemnt it doesn't have to be installed

r9m

@DavidCarlisle it's in the same directory as my document but my editor can't compile it .. idk why

David Carlisle

@r9m then you did something wrong or perhaps your editor is running from a different directory, first just check it works from the comandline, cd to that directory and type pdflatex filename where filename is whatever your document is called. if that works your problem is editor configuration, if it doesn't then the problem is with tex setup

Gideon Ebelebe

17:14

hi @egreg, @JosephWright and all friends, gd evening

Johannes_B

@GideonEbelebe Hi.

r9m

@DavidCarlisle sorry .. not working :( guess there's some trouble with tex setup as you say ..

David Carlisle

@r9m what error do you get

r9m

@DavidCarlisle things like Metric (TMF) file not found.

Paulo Cereda

@egreg: Harish sends his best regards to you. :)

David Carlisle

17:28

@r9m oh if you haven't got the fonts, a package to make the document use the fonts won't work....

r9m

@DavidCarlisle I used sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-recommended .. and the problem is fixed now! :D Thanks for your help!!!

s/it's it/it isn't/

@DavidCarlisle Probably for uniformity with other cases.

David Carlisle

@egreg yes when in doubt with a table macro add a \ifnum0=`{ makes your code look impressive if nothing else.

@DavidCarlisle It adds several hidden features

@JosephWright What documentclass do I use for submission to RSC?

any idea how to import an image in sharelatex and center it right in the middle of the page? I tried every way, but nothing seems to work...

Joseph Wright

@Canageek article but they have a template

Canageek

@JosephWright Looking for it, all I've found it chemstyle so far. Is it on CTAN?

@JosephWright Or is it this one? latextemplates.com/template/royal-society-of-chemistry

Joseph Wright

@Canageek No, on their website: it's a hacked up version of article/some stuff I did (no credit)

Hiro

@JosephWright any idea?

David Carlisle

22:17

@Hiro \begin{center}\includegraphics{example-image}\end{center} would make a centred image 9for example)

Hiro

@DavidCarlisle It still doesn't center the image

David Carlisle

22:32

@Hiro well you did something wrong (or the image is bigger than the text block) if it doesn't work, make an example that demonstrates the problem (a complete small document, you can use \includegraphics{example-image} as we all have that)

@Hiro if the image is wider than the page the extra width always goes to the right margin (and tex will warn in the log) if you get no warning then the image would be centred by the center environment.

Hiro

22:48

Thanks for the help, my problem's resolved :P

David Carlisle

@Hiro :-)

~~@UlrikeFischer~~ any miktex users around?

@FranzHuber23 windows access permissions are a black art that I'm not trained in:-) Anything's possible but I'd have thought in that case pygmentize simply wouldn't run, but it looks like it ran and made a prettyprinted output, but using tex commands not defined which is... odd. I suspect you need someone to pass by who can test on miktex. I'll ping the regulars in chat ask a miktex user to look... — David Carlisle 1 min ago
