@DavidCarlisle Fortunately, Google Translator correctly translates "I'm done" with "ho finito", because the literal translation "sono fatto" means "I'm high/stoned". However, the contrary is not true: "sono fatto" is translated with "I'm done" :):):)
@egreg Thanks (tex.stackexchange.com/a/374229/101651)! When the massive editing will be over, we should plan an "Answer the Unanswered" session dedicated to the unanswered question of this period :)
Please suggest bikini styles depending on body size. Everyone wants to look best on the beaches this summer. So for the largest range of dollboxx yellow bikini tops, bikini advice you can search online.
@Moriambar It adds an edit link so you can go straight to that and just ctrl-a to select the text, disadvantage is you can't easily see if you or SamCarter etc has already done it until the emacs exits immediately with no edits, but once the data dump is updated tomorrow that will be less of an issue
@DavidCarlisle oh dear lord. In a week I have to be in London. I have to be in perfect shape to endure 7 hours of National Gallery museum. I cannot afford being sick due to a pineapple pizza
@CarLaTeX I was talking about the questions/closing vote. Nevertheless, it's not necessary to be young to be beautiful and able to wear a thong and seem like a greek goddess :)
@DavidCarlisle I think I'm gonna do kiss-my-armpit (if I already haven't done)
@PauloCereda That’s an idea! But consider that in the U.S. they are (rightly) concerned with political correctness: maybe this kind of sexist jokes wouldn’t be appreciated.
@Moriambar and jake I think. I note you can see if someone has recently edited from the "edit" link there is a "rev" text field at the top, so iF that says you edited it yesterday, can quickly kill the window and move on
@barbarabeeton it is easy to be worse than perfection
@DavidCarlisle I'm completing a treatise on page dimensions and margins which is so pointless that I should give reputation just for having enjoyed writing it
just a question
what would happen if I changed the papersize in the middle of the document?
@Moriambar in pdftex/luatex you can change the page size on any page, I think in dvips you can only set it at the start of the document, but I'd need to check. That is, if by papersize you mean \(pdf)pageheight you can change the latex length \papeheight anywhere but mostly that is not used so it doesn't matter what it is set to.
@Moriambar see the code in the unified graphics driver collection (graphics-def) eg this in pdftex.def
\ifGin@setpagesize
\ifx\paperwidth\@undefined\else
\AtBeginDocument{%
% If a package has changed \mag, assume it knows what it is doing
% and leave page size alone
\ifnum\mag=\@m
\@ifundefined{stockwidth}{%
\@ifundefined{paperwidth}{%
}{%
\ifdim\paperwidth>0pt\relax
\ifdim\paperheight>0pt\relax
\pdfpagewidth=\paperwidth
\pdfpageheight=\paperheight
\fi
\fi
}%
}{%
\ifdim\stockwidth>0pt\relax
\ifdim\stockheight>0pt\relax
\pdfpagewidth=\stockwidth
@Moriambar it's set there but you can (in pdftex) set it again later with care, so you can have an A4 document with one page being an A3 insert then back to A4, but that's designed for a digital era, the page size in dvips was more designed around selecting the correct paper tray in a printer....
@Moriambar yes pdfpagewidth is the pdftex primitive that controls the media size in the generated pdf, paperwidth is just a \newlength defined by latex so setting it does nothing unless you then use the value to set pdfpagewidth or some equivalent \special
@Moriambar also more importantly geometry does set \pdfpagewidth etc. the snippet that I showed from pdftex.def is the way it gets set if you load graphics or color but geometry has similar code eg
@DavidCarlisle well to "technically, why geometry does not allow this" I answer with "because it sets the xxx length instead of zzz" but it turns out that it's the other way aorund
@DavidCarlisle All the edits I could do would point towards "there's no technical reason. It's just hardcoded this way"
@DavidCarlisle I gotta go now, I'llbe back in half an hour or so, then I'll try and edit it, or possibly delete it.
@UlrikeFischer link? (I've done several hundred so not surprising if something wrong somewhere:-), possibly tab related as detecting the pattern with tabs rather than \ four spaces is trickier
@DavidCarlisle I'm using a human specific pattern matching method: I look at the code ;-) Not so fast but not easily confused by tabs and numbers of spaces.
@UlrikeFischer I did that originally until I realised there were (at the time) 7500 corrupt posts at which point some automation seemed necessary.
@UlrikeFischer I use a query-replace so I see the edits that are done, but I don't look at the part of the post that isn't edited so missed that there were some tab cases left
Wow, I just answered a question from 2015 from a low rep user, and it has just been accepted. So answering old unanswered questions clearly isn't a waste of time.
This is the output from LaTeX (MWE is at the end of this post):
Running LaTeX' onluatex_test' with ``lualatex --jobname=luatex_test -file-line-error -interaction=nonstopmode "\input" luatex_test.tex''
Unable to read environment locale:exit now.
If I set TeX engine to be latex instead o...
@DavidCarlisle Just saw it. The locale looks odd -- even if one take into account english kings with german connections ;-)
@DavidCarlisle But beside this: why is luatex using it? I can't reproduce something similar with windows, setting an environment LANG doesn't give such an error.
@JosephWright it does but stock lua doesn't complain with LANG set that way
if (old_locale) {
/* If setlocale fails here, then the state */
/* could be compromised, and we exit. */
env_locale = setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
if (!env_locale) {
fprintf(stderr,"Unable to read environment locale:exit now.\n");
I've composed a short melody, however I'm very new to all this piano theory, how would I tell the pianist to play the entire piece softly? (mp, not pp), and how would I write exceptions for specific notes? For example, take this piece of music.
How would I get the pianist to play the entire pie...
@JosephWright the number of people who will download the files from github and a matching package source from our svn and unpack and install locally and are not already reading this chat is negligable
@JosephWright I guess so but where, in graphics-def? top level notes about graphics usually goes in latex news but there's not a latex release in the pipeline. Could just put it in the ctan announce but that's a bit transient.
