TeX, LaTeX and Friends

The plan for l3fp is to replace the current l3fp by the code I have. I'm cleaning things up a bit, but it should be roughly the same speed, and parse expressions too :).

Paulo Cereda

Not yet. :( I had to work on other projects. The year seems to start in Brazil only after Carnaval. :)

Bruno Le Floch

@MarcoDaniel Yeah, I'm struggling a bit with a^b, though.

@PauloCereda When is/was carnival?

Paulo Cereda

@BrunoLeFloch Last week of February. :)

Bruno Le Floch

Oh, by the way, I found a use for eTeX's \unless: taking the xor of two \ifxyz tests. \ifA \expandafter\unless\fi\ifB...\else...\fi

@PauloCereda Did you participate?

Marco Daniel

12:58 AM

@BrunoLeFloch The first example where I can see it ;-)

Paulo Cereda

@BrunoLeFloch Nah I don't like it. :) It's too much noise, too much drinking.

Bruno Le Floch

@PauloCereda But all the excitement! And Feynman went...

@MarcoDaniel How useful do you think it is to be complete in my coverage (e.g., sinh, cosh, tanh, coth, asin, acos, atan, acot, asinh, acosh, atanh, acoth, perhaps sec, csc, sech, csch, asec, acsc, asech, acsch)?

Paulo Cereda

@BrunoLeFloch :D

Alan Munn

1:15 AM

@GonzaloMedina :-) I give up. It was interesting learning some stuff about footnotes, though.

Marco Daniel

@BrunoLeFloch I think the elementary operations are very useful. For example to create bills or something. Most of this functions are implemented in tikz. But l3fp allows packages to compute functions. For example \FuncInput{3*x* cos(3*pi)} and the output is: 3\cdot x \cdot \cos(3\cdot \pi)=XX. I can't calculate at 2:30am ;-). On balance it offers a lot of possibilities ;-)

Q: Enumerate bullets not appearing

In the past (on a different computer) I have used the beamer package to make presentations and the enumerate environment has worked fine. However, now when I use the enumerate environment, the nice little numbered circles are not appearing. Does anyone know what the issue is? I recently installed...

Why we need a crystal-ball tag.

Paulo Cereda

My first submission to CTAN! Yay!

Marco Daniel

@AlanMunn I will vote for yes

@PauloCereda Congratulations. What is it?

Alan Munn

@PauloCereda Congratulations. I'm still glowing from my new addition to beamer.

Paulo Cereda

1:22 AM

@MarcoDaniel It's that Lua script egreg and I wrote. :)

@AlanMunn Thanks. I hope I didn't make a mess of everything. :)

Marco Daniel

@PauloCereda The first useful script of the combo ;-)

Alan Munn

@MarcoDaniel What I don't get is how anyone upvoted it.

Paulo Cereda

@MarcoDaniel Next useful package: lolcat. :)

I wanted a batman tag. We already have three questions.

Marco Daniel

@AlanMunn The guy wants to earn the upvote badge ;-)

@PauloCereda awesome questions ;-)

Alan Munn

@PauloCereda I has like this package.

Paulo Cereda

@AlanMunn haha!

@MarcoDaniel Batman power. :)

Speaking of lolcats:

My be is calling me ;-) We will see us in few hours ;-) Or with the words of @Werner's wife: good night virtual friends

Paulo Cereda

@MarcoDaniel Good night Marco! :)

It seems they chose an armadillo to be the World Cup mascot here. :)

Armadillo is not cool, I prefer our good old "tatu". :)

Alan Munn

1:49 AM

@PauloCereda And during the World Cup people drunk on newly legal stadium beer will wake up with tatu tattoos.

Paulo Cereda

@AlanMunn Ah true, our good "Lei geral da Copa". :(

There is a buzz Fifa will take the World Cup to another country.

Probably England.

Alan Munn

@PauloCereda I really doubt that will happen.

Paulo Cereda

@AlanMunn Me too. It's all part of a political move. The corruption level with money spent on stadiums is something I cannot even imagine.

Bruno Le Floch

9:09 AM

Odd TeX fact: in a dimension assignment of the form <real><register>, the <register> needs not be a dimension register: \dimen0=3.2\count0mm will leave mm as letters in the output, and \count0 is converted to a dimension (in sp, as usual).

@MarcoDaniel Not sure about letting users define identifiers (variables) such as x to be used directly in expressions 3*x+2: you can always use a macro \x instead, that's just one extra keystroke (and potentially parses faster). Everything is expanded as we go (like in integer expressions provided by eTeX).

Brent.Longborough

has just finished reading The LaTeX Companion, 2nd edition, cover to cover. While the first edition was (is) a fantastic book, the second edition overshadows it. What an amazing piece of work. Well done, congratulations to all the authors (some of whom have been known to pop up here).

Marco Daniel

@BrunoLeFloch The using of \xshould be preferred. However it's a great work.

Bruno Le Floch

10:17 AM

@MarcoDaniel Thanks. Wait until you see some of the crazyer ideas about supporting lists or tuples of numbers (not this months yet, and they'll have to not be vetoed by anyone).

Ah, and... don't look at the code, it's pretty ugly because I had to optimize a lot ---not yet enough :(.

Paulo Cereda

Yay lists!

Q: Defining an Environment that Takes an Argument

I want to define a new environment that will take a text argument, and use it as a title. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsthm} \newenvironment{titleproof} {\begin{proof} \textbf{Title of the Proof} \newline} {\vspace*{0.5\baselineskip} \end{proof}} \begin{document} \begin{titleproof} H...

environments

Should I add an answer with environ, just for completeness sake? :)

Or even with xparse.

egreg

@PauloCereda xparse has the nice feature that placeholders for arguments can be used also in the "end" part. \NewEnviron is very useful at times, but not for general use.

Paulo Cereda

@egreg Ah true. TBH I was thinking of xparse at first, but environ came to mind first. :P

Marco Daniel

@PauloCereda Please recommend xparse. Maybe in combination with l3keys ;-)

Paulo Cereda

@MarcoDaniel Uh-oh, now it's beyond my limited knowledge. :)

Marco Daniel

10:30 AM

@PauloCereda In this way I learned it ;-)

@egreg: You answer was accepted ;-) tex.stackexchange.com/questions/47576/…

egreg

@MarcoDaniel But M.S. didn't revoke his downvote. The "package free" version is among the TeX Pearls for BachoTeX 2011. :)

egreg

10:52 AM

@BrunoLeFloch \unless\ifnum\numexpr-1\ifA+1\fi\ifB+1\fi=0 is another XOR test

Paulo Cereda

Now I'm intrigued. What if one wants to get the content (body) of the environment?

Yiannis Lazarides

@BrunoLeFloch Did you see tex.stackexchange.com/questions/9683/…

egreg

@PauloCereda That's environ's job.

Paulo Cereda

@egreg Ah! With \BODY, I guess. :)

Yiannis Lazarides

@BrentLongborough Took you seven years to read it????:)

Paulo Cereda

11:14 AM

I added an xparse answer, but no l3keys. :)

Q: lualatex error with Brazilian Portuguese babel option

Polyglossia?

Marco Daniel

@PauloCereda Nice one. You mentioned the special value \NoValue. I suggest to add the relevant test \IfNoValueTF ;-)

@PauloCereda Isn't polyglossia for xetex?

Paulo Cereda

@MarcoDaniel Ah! I'll make some tests here and will update the answer. :)

@MarcoDaniel I don't know. :)

Marco Daniel

@PauloCereda Me too ;-)

Paulo Cereda

@MarcoDaniel :P

I'm still in pdflatex. :D

David Carlisle

@YiannisLazarides nice debugging boxes, I'd looked at the original question a while ago, but didn't get to the bottom of it. Could you see where breqn could be changed to not require manual intervention?

Paulo Cereda

11:23 AM

your xelatex format appears to be outdated - wat?!

Yiannis Lazarides

@DavidCarlisle Thanks will have a look but looks very complicated:)

David Carlisle

@YiannisLazarides breqn complicated? no, you don't say:-)

Yiannis Lazarides

@DavidCarlisle Piece of cake for you Dave, I am sure you can fix it in 3 minutes:)

David Carlisle

When Michael first came up with breqn I sort of half followed it at the time, but that was a long time ago and that alignment bug I think requires more than half following it. I think we should leave it for @BrunoLeFloch, we would'nt want to spoil his fun. (I spent a lot more than 3 minutes on that question already:-)

Paulo Cereda

Can this be a workaround to the language question?

\usepackage[portuges,brazilian]{babel}

\selectlanguage{brazilian}

(Why do they spell it portuges?) :(

With this code, the document compiles.

Hm now I'm not sure about hyphenation.

Yep, no hyphenation.

Yiannis Lazarides

11:48 AM

@DavidCarlisle Agreed and it should all be re-written in LaTeX3, but I must say it is a brilliantly written package.

Joseph Wright

@YiannisLazarides On the long-term 'to do' list, probably as an optional add-on to basic LaTeX3 maths support

Yiannis Lazarides

@JosephWright Long-term as in next year?

Bruno Le Floch

@egreg \numexpr tends to be slower than conditionals, so I'd guess the first approach is faster. Not sure, though.

Joseph Wright

@YiannisLazarides I doubt it: we need to sort the output routine, the galley and font loading, then there is the need for some basic structure. I can see us tackling the basics of display math, but not all of the complexities, over the next year.

Bruno Le Floch

@YiannisLazarides Re-breqn. I did, but I need to think about it more carefully to understand your answer, and I've been somewhat stuck on my fp work.

Yiannis Lazarides

11:55 AM

@BrunoLeFloch Then don't worry:) fp is more important.

Bruno Le Floch

@JosephWright On the other hand, we should probably turn breqn to use the l3kernel features more properly. It currently messes up catcodes, for instance, because it tries to keep track of the catcode of _: this doesn't interact well with \ExplSyntaxOn.

Joseph Wright

@BrunoLeFloch Well that is true, but there is a lot of work just to cover that change.

Bruno Le Floch

@YiannisLazarides Short term yes, long term, I most definitely want breqn to work, because it would be useful for my "real-life" work.

Joseph Wright

I want to crack on with the OR: it's mainly just a formatting task, but it does need doing

Yiannis Lazarides

@BrunoLeFloch The package at the moment is in patois some of it is already LaTeX3

Bruno Le Floch

11:58 AM

@JosephWright True. Well, we haven't been shying away from work too much, have we? :)

@YiannisLazarides Yes.

Q: Nested foreach inside a TikZ matrix for both rows and columns

I'm trying to create a matrix using nested \foreach loops. I tried following the example I found in a previous question, but I keep getting errors. Here is the code I tried to run: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{etoolbox} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{matrix} \begin{document} \let\my...

tikz-pgf

Can anyone tel me how to send the argument of foreach \i inside the matrix contents macro?

Should I \def it before the \gappto ?

Brent.Longborough

1:24 PM

@YiannisLazarides LOL, no, that was Real World Haskell. TLC2 just took me 7 years to discover.

Andrey Vihrov

I just noticed this: Why doesn't LaTeX (article class) place a period after a theorem name/number? If I load amsthm, then the period is there.

cjorssen

Hi all!

@PatrickGundlach What is lua REPL?

Paulo Cereda

Hi! :)

I take it back: LuaTeX seems to hyphenate Portuguese.

Alan Munn

2:25 PM

@PauloCereda I've posted a comment and sent mail to Khaled Hosny. I think this is a bug. Nothing should fail that inelegantly.

Paulo Cereda

@AlanMunn Ah thanks! Great comment, now I understand what's happening. I've never used LuaTeX, so I was lost (I even got confused babel with polyglossia). :)

You should post your comment as an answer. It's really great and explain the odd behaviour.

Marco Daniel

@egreg: Do you want to answer this question? tex.stackexchange.com/questions/47616/…

Alan Munn

@PauloCereda The whole polyglossia vs. babel is confusing when it comes to LuaTeX. Generally we think that most things that work with XeLaTeX can work with LuaLaTeX, but that's not quite true, and polyglossia is one of them. But at the same time, it's often said that you must use polyglossia with XeLaTeX and not babel, but that's not quite true either. See tex.stackexchange.com/q/30684/2693

Paulo Cereda

@MarcoDaniel It might take a while. :) We are watching Juventus on TV. :)

Alan Munn

@PauloCereda cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/50296/…

Paulo Cereda

2:40 PM

@AlanMunn Ah I see. :) I thought XeTeX and LuaTeX were (pardon my naivety) almost exactly the same. :)

@AlanMunn Thanks, I almost forgot the new house rule! In another news, that trophy could be used as a cricket bat! :)

@egreg: Marchisio almost scored. :)

Marco Daniel

@PauloCereda It's a question to earn the macro badge

egreg

@MarcoDaniel Tough. As Paulo says, there's the match which is more important. :)

@PauloCereda They're playing well.

Marco Daniel

@egreg I would work with a simple clist and the current mapping function.

egreg

@MarcoDaniel yes, the tricky part is the mapping function. I've some ideas.

Not solvable during the intermission, though. :)

Paulo Cereda

@MarcoDaniel Ah. :)

Marco Daniel

2:54 PM

@egreg ;-)

Paulo Cereda

@egreg Juve's defensive line is giving me shivers. :)

Szabolcs

Chapters/sections have a long title and a short title. The short title is shown in the page header and the table of contents.

I want to show the long title in the contents but keep the short one in the header.

Is this easily possible? If it's not easy, I don't want to bother.

Alan Munn

@Szabolcs It's easily available in the memoir class: \chapter[toc-title][head-title]{title} but I don't know if there's a package that modifies the standard classes this way.

Szabolcs

3:09 PM

@AlanMunn Thank you for the hint, I am using memoir fortunately!

Alan Munn

@Szabolcs Good. For book length documents it's really a great class.

rdhs

I'm ready to pop my \expandafter cherry. How many \expandafters are needed to fully expand a counter, as in etextools's \ExpandAftercmds\macro{\@arabic{\c@unter}}?

Marco Daniel

@Szabolcs KOMA provides a similar solution.

Szabolcs

Thanks, that's good to know. However I'm already using memoir (which turned out to be fortunate). Maybe I'll look at KOMA (I don't know what it is) next time.

Alan Munn

3:27 PM

@MarcoDaniel I don't want to start another memoir KOMA battle, but IMO anyone can't read German shouldn't use KOMA. The English documentation is both terrible and out of date.

Marco Daniel

@AlanMunn Unfortunately you are right. The English documentation has beta status and is only available on (or at ;-) ) the KOMA website

Szabolcs

Ich spreche kein Deutsch :-(

Marco Daniel

3:48 PM

@Szabolcs No problem. I can't speak English and we still able to communicate ;-)

egreg

4:31 PM

@MarcoDaniel No, just after the match. :) 0:0, by the way. :(

Marco Daniel

@egreg Will you provide a LaTeX3-solution? (0:0) is boring

egreg

@MarcoDaniel Already done

Marco Daniel

@egreg "already" = 3 min . q.e.d. ;-)

egreg

@MarcoDaniel The "classical" one took about five minutes: it's really easy. Get an element of the list; check if the next character is (, otherwise check if it's [. In the first case call the macro that manages the (#1) case; in the second case call the macro that manages the [#1]#2[#3] case, providing a dummy first pair of brackets if necessary. :)

Marco Daniel

@egreg You use the argument specifier w and the peek functions. I have never been noticed the peek function ;-) Very interesting

Paulo Cereda

4:51 PM

@MarcoDaniel: I love your comment to egreg's answer. :)

egreg

@MarcoDaniel That's a friendly version of \futurelet; \peek_charcode:NTF is the analog of \@ifnextchar

The :w is necessary because the argument is "weird".

Paulo Cereda

@egreg Wow.

Alan Munn

@JosephWright I realize that my pull request was based on a slightly earlier of version of the repository. Is there a simple way to make my fork match the main repository?

Joseph Wright

@AlanMunn You need to pull across, which I think you can do from 'compare forks'

Paulo Cereda

@AlanMunn I think it's easily done, but I can't remember how. I only use the basic stuff.

Joseph Wright

4:57 PM

It was not an issue, anyway, as I did the merge manully on my system

egreg

@PauloCereda I guess that your comment to the "Brazilian" question might be an answer. The question should be raised on the "tex-hyphen" mailing list and probably also on the "tex-live" list, as it seems that the language.dat.lua file is generated automatically from language.dat

Paulo Cereda

@egreg TBH I like Alan's comment. :) Maybe the answer would be a merge of those two comments. Alan explains why and I tell how. :)

Alan Munn

@egreg I sent mail to Khaled Hosny who maintains luatex-hyphen; depending on what he replies, I'll raise the issue on the tex-live list. (I had no idea there was a tex-hyphen list.)

Paulo Cereda

Let's post in c.t.tex! (granted, I began to like that mess of messages) :D

Alan Munn

@egreg And language.dat itself is generated by tlmgr. So probably this is a TeX Live issue.

@PauloCereda I think the mailing list is a more appropriate place for the issue, actually, since we know the relevant people are reading it.

Paulo Cereda

5:04 PM

@AlanMunn Indeed. :) I was just kidding. :)

Alan Munn

@egreg But there's also the fact that LuaTeX shouldn't fail so badly when there's missing information in language.dat.lua; that's not a TeX Live issue.

Paulo Cereda

@Alan: I'm scared of mailing lists, see my quoted message in Norbert's reply: tug.org/pipermail/tldoc/2012q1/000425.html :)

egreg

@AlanMunn Someone must have told Karl Berry how to generate the file. :)

Alan Munn

5:21 PM

@egreg I've just posted a report to the TeX-Live list.

egreg

They have restarted the "n questions with new activity" stuff

Marco Daniel

@egreg That's a nice featurer

I love it

@egreg futurelet is friendly ;-)

Alan Munn

@egreg So maybe my cursor arrow will start disappearing again. It seemed to before when that started, but I couldn't replicate it. Are you using FF or Safari?

egreg

5:37 PM

@AlanMunn Safari

Alan Munn

@egreg So it may not happen for you. (I use FF).

Paulo Cereda

@egreg I tried Safari, but I can't get used to it. :)

Marco Daniel

@PauloCereda I am using FF and it works too

Alan Munn

@MarcoDaniel Oh it works for me too, but for some unexplained reason, just when the feature appeared, by cursor arrow would intermittently disappear. I don't know if it was a coincidence, and some other page I visited caused the problem. I hadn't noticed the feature was gone for a while, so now I'll be on the lookout for the disappearing cursor again. If it happens now, it's unlikely to be a coincidence.

Paulo Cereda

@AlanMunn It requires Lion. :P

Alan Munn

5:47 PM

@PauloCereda What does? The new activity banner? No it doesn't. (I don't think @egreg is using Lion either.)

Paulo Cereda

@AlanMunn I'm just kidding. :) I don't think any Mac users here already migrated to Lion.

Alan Munn

@PauloCereda I seem to be not getting any of your jokes today. Sorry.

Paulo Cereda

@AlanMunn I'm making bad jokes today. :)

@AlanMunn Uh-oh. :) It's like telling @egreg to use parskip in a document. :)

Marco Daniel

@AlanMunn But Herbert puplished 2 month ago a new book where he is describing tikz, too.

David Carlisle

@AlanMunn because you should never try to do anything fancy as the first thing in a table cell, I don't know exactly what visible does but tex is in a rather unstable state at that position

Patrick Gundlach

6:42 PM

@cjorssen when you run Lua without arguments, you get a prompt and you can type in Lua commands. Each line is a block by itself, so you can't save variables that way

percusse

@AlanMunn Indeed, if you write \hspace{0mm} \visible<2->{Hello World} it doesn't work as expected. I mean an extra whitespace in between

I learned that trick from Stefan's answer to Question 45517 by the way.

@DavidCarlisle @egreg Can I ask about your opinion how to make \i in this question be the argument of foreach instead of the \i being greek iota letter?

The 46th general meeting of the German language TeX users group DANTE e.V. (DANTE 2012) was held in Leipzig , from March 7 until March 9. It was hosted by the HTWK Leipzig, the Leipzig University of Applied Sciences, and supported by le-tex publishing services.

I asked on our meta site, who would like to to go to DANTE 2012, and four of our fellow site members told they would go. So I decided to go as well, and Stack Exchange confirmed that they would cover travel costs for me, as they sponsor speakers at conferences. Luckily that’s not very much, as I did not need to fly and neither to b …

egreg

7:03 PM

@percusse I guess you have to expand \i during the \foreach, otherwise when \mymatrixcontent is expanded TeX uses the current value of \i (dotless i).

percusse

@egreg I've tried \expandafter\def\counterval{\i} and plug \counterval into the matrix content but then still it says undefined control sequence.

egreg

\newcommand{\row}[1]{
  \foreach \i in {0,...,5} {
    \edef\x{\noexpand\gappto\noexpand\mymatrixcontent{\i \&}}\x
    }
  \gappto\mymatrixcontent{\\}
}

You're also missing some \expandafter: \expandafter\def\expandafter\counterval\expandafter{\i}

And it's easier \xdef\counterval{\i}

percusse

I see let me try...

Thanks a lot by the way :)

egreg

But the problem is always the same: you end with \counterval in the replacement text, which is wrong

percusse

Yes, I get A5 six times.

I meant this code

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{tikz}

  \foreach \i in {0,...,5} {
