An example of a single backslash disappearing from code: tex.stackexchange.com/posts/2272/revisions -- I think @barbarabeeton mentioned at least one such example earlier too.
@ChristianHupfer Well it's something that should have been a comment I think, but the person doesn't have the rep to make comments. I guess we could flag it as such, but telling them they should have posted it as a comment is obviously not really fair. And I've had similar things happen with my answers too, from people much more exalted...
@DavidCarlisle -- the counts i was referring to were the ones shown in chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/38186600#38186600 -- they add up to only about 3200, less than half of 7000. since only the items were counted when the counter was editing someone else's q or a, this doesn't include fixing one's own, but i still find the discrepancy surprising.
@Moriambar -- would you like us to de-edit one for you to fix? (i hope your visit to the national gallery met your expectations, and made the bother of the flight worthwhile.)
@barbarabeeton sorry I saw that later, they were last week's numbers

@ShreevatsaR's query on today's dump ^^ @Moriambar @barbarabeeton
:38198202it should just work as long as you switch language to set up direction and hyphenation using babel or polyglossia or whatever, I'm sure ther are examples on site
@DavidCarlisle Oh, if people want print alternatives or whatever I'll re-add to graphics and the drivers, and into the L3 version, or perhaps try to get an L3 version finished
@JosephWright possibly, although I still don't see any use case where front page order is relevant, so I'm not convinced that it would have had an effect, however having an answer-the-unanswered session restricted to 2017 posts, and trying to answer them rather than close them couldn't hurt.
@egreg As detailed on TL list, it's because we moved from Heiko's form of \newif to the standard one: his has a \global hidden inside the \<thing>(true|false), which I'd missed. As noted, this is now fixed and sent to CTAN.
@DavidCarlisle no, the one day thing is perfect. I should've thought about parades and whatnots, about the 2 caravaggios that are away until october. Also the museum is so rich that one should plan around 5-10 visits there with audioguide and study each and every painting in detail. I'm more used to exhibits
@Moriambar all the ones prior to 2014 I fixed this morning (data.stackexchange.com/tex/query/685412/bug-no-filter) and the ones after that are bug free by definition (some of them need to keep the bug as they are asking questions due to confusion about earlier corrupt answers)
@Zophikel -- looks like it was produced by amsart (left-hand equation number, theorem heading in small caps). pretty straightforward, really, once the source of those settings is identified. but if you need the whole thing coded, that's really too long for chat, but answerable on the main site.
@Zophikel -- what's the main topic? theorems? you should be as specific as possible -- do say this has been identified as probably created with amsart, and perhaps say where you saw it. (it may be greeted as a "do it for me" question, which isn't really appreciated here. so if you can give reasons why you're asking, and if you can actually code a bit of it yourself, that would be positive.)
@Zophikel: mind if I give you an advice? If possible, try to add as much detail to your question, and also some starter code. People usually don't look with good eyes at questions that only ask on how to reproduce things without having something to start it. :)
I'm having trouble latexing the following theorem, it seems and looks this was produced by asmart, i'm a beginner when it comes to latex and i'm having trouble expressing this.
My initial attempt was as follows:
$$\sigma_{n}(x) = \sigma_{n}f = s_{o} + \cdot \cdot \cdot s_{n-1}(x) / N - \frac{...
@Zophikel mathjax does not use tex at all, it just emulates the tex math syntax in javacript, but your question was not just about the math but had headings such as Theorem, which mathjax does not do at all.
@JosephWright thanks for the edits you missed one though: ^q\ A in tex.stackexchange.com/questions/60405/… which is last remaining \<four spaces> in postings prior to 2014:-)
I'm having trouble proving the following conjecture in $(1.)$, via Fourier methods, my intial attack can be seen in $(2)$
$(1.)$
$$\sin(x) + \sin(2(x)) + \sin(3(x)+ \cdot \cdot \cdot +\sin(n(x)) = \frac{cos(1/2) - cos(n-1/2)}{2 \sin(1/2)2}$$
Â
$(2)$
On the RHS, side of our conjecture of $(1.)...
@ChristianHupfer ah i thought you were complaining about unattributed code, I don't see how a long time user can find it so impossible to provide a usable example
@DavidCarlisle Unbelievable: I was watching TV, zapping from channel to channel, and I came across "Ghost Whisper" episode 11: two characters were discussing pineapple pizza as we always do! (I don't know the name of the characters because I've never watched that TV series)
@CarLaTeX I couldn't care less actually of its fame around the world :P but having once tried something similar at a giropizza and finding it really as disgusting as hell, I'm glad it's not here
@DavidCarlisle the bbq chicken I had was so horrible (the barbecue sauce was way too sweet, and the chicken tasteless) that I don't think it could be much worse. Well of course it would've been worse (I tasted it remember?) but not by much
@AlanMunn I did not go to the UK to have BBQ, it just happened to be something edible for me
@AlanMunn I did not search for food (I'm not a food explorer) and would positively have gone mac donalds if I were to found one in Gatwick :) There was no chicken tikka anyway
most of the questions tagged "boxes" don't fit the tag description: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/boxes?sort=active -- tag description uses "boxes" in the "boxes-and-glue" sense, most of the questions are about visible frames around stuff (showing something as being in a box).
Hi, I get hundreds of lines ................................................. . LaTeX info: "xparse/define-command" . . Defining command \mL with sig. '' on line 13. .................................................
oh on page 70 of the siunitx manual I see, repeatunits is an old command and I should switch to multi-part-units anyway. Is that the right interpretation of the table?
@JosephWright I call it noisy. It drives you over the wall. The first thing I normally do is to copy the definitions from article -- even if I don't use them, I don't want to fill up log-files because of some dumb package.
@JosephWright I do not even remember, why I added repeat-units=false years ago. Will have to read now the manual on these commands now... Thank you so much for your hint.
@DavidCarlisle and even more 24/7 and free of charge
There are a few names here on tex.sx which are a synonym of excellent tex support. I guess this improved the popularity of latex significantly in the last decade.
What do you think would push the development of *tex in the next 5 years most? Do we need more lobby work? More coders? More money for Dante/Tug? Many journals go away from latex, even accept .doc files. More and more students avoid real *tex. (my personal experience from different german universities in the subjects chemistry and physics)
@JonasStein Most happens on commercial sites, such as StackExchange and Overleaf, there is some drive. Bloggers rarely write any more, Usenet is mainly spam.
@JonasStein What does that mean? You can choose the compiler on a per document basis. See tex.stackexchange.com/q/78101/2693. (Or maybe I'm misunderstanding the issue.)
@JonasStein Lobby work? I tried that (taking latex.org and then connecting LaTeX community forums (in 3 languages) and developers but that failed, developers don't want that)
@StefanKottwitz that is sad. I tried to connect students at university and provided templates for them. None used it. All used their broken, 1990 style copy and paste tex template. I know a few math teacher who use LaTeX for their worksheets. Tried to exchange ideas but there was no interest. Everyone wanted to do his/her old business and not learn new things or exchange with others.
@JonasStein Templates that hide all LaTeX syntax (header and definitions in external file) and allowing simple syntax in the main document (markdown package) may help. Easy writing and very readable code.
@JonasStein I got enough motivation to plan until Rio 2018 :-)
@StefanKottwitz a very successful TeX advertising event was a workshop I organized for master and PhD students at University. We had a few talks one from a TeXstudio dev. one by a Dante representative and one by a student. Perhaps we need such an event every two years.
@JonasStein Besides local things, large scale online lobbying could be a way today. What we see, is a LaTeX3 research project publishing a newsletter about every 2 years, and DANTE and TUG with a great behind-the-curtain-service but no outreaching publicity beyond internal mailing list and such.
@JonasStein I mean showing off every few days what TeX and LaTeX can do. If you read planet.dante.de as example, it's a pretty quiet world except some font fan. DANTE can tweet (TUG doesn't I guess) but did not even mention that TL 2017 was released.
@JonasStein In the metro and buses I see all people strictly watching their phones seeing everything (news, feeds, ...) but TeX related things never really made it to there.
@JonasStein In a standard IT newspaper we may get responses from the haters of the next generation who know all better. Without a lobby, one easily is a troll victim.
Something different: There are very cool code checkers for python (pep8). Can't we substitute the search patterns for LaTeX and create a better tabu tool?
@JonasStein c'mon, this is not what you need when writing personal documents, source code validation/normalization is for corporate, not personal use, and not for LaTeX
you know the simple tabu stuff. It works in principle too. And a pep8 like tool would work fine for most documents. Not for very complicate things perhaps, but would help to clean the most common mistakes and FAQ on tex.sx
The tool could also try to find missing brackets. And with some intelligent hints, it will be better than manual searching.
@JonasStein I am with Tom, sorry, but unfortunately this is like chasing a chimera. There is simply no way of determining what constitutes a well behaved TeX document because the nature of the language is way beyond simple parsing and code heuristics/inference.
@JonasStein See ya, good night! :) Poke me later, I can provide some ongoing efforts towards a somewhat behaved expansion (my thesis talks about it at some point).
