@barbarabeeton The comment doesn't really matter. It was really the question and answers I wondered if you might look at. (That is, I have no idea how to find my comment, but I've managed to find my answer ;).)
This modifies the font configuration for Latin Modern in a way which I think is analogous to the modifications amsmath.sty makes for Computer Modern. It is not exactly analogous because Computer Modern provides additional sizes of the maths extension font, whereas Latin Modern provides only 10pt....
Consider the code
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\begin{document}
\[ \sqrt{\frac{m}{n}} \]
\end{document}
The output is a different square root symbol than with merely Computer Modern, where it fits well. What's the problem w...
@barbarabeeton I tried to figure out what amsmath.sty does in the case of CM 12pt and reproduce it for LM. But I'm not at all sure about it. (But I'm pretty sure that the OP's recommendation to use ae is not entirely wise.)
@cfr -- yes, i did see that. and haven't had a chance to really dig into it, but what i remember from past experience is the following: ams publishes some book series that have a 12pt default text size. the 10pt extension font wasn't satisfactory, which is why cmex was recreated in other sizes. (note also the need for the smaller sizes for use in footnotes.) i'm afraid this may be the best answer i can give, but i'll try to dig further tomorrow.
@PauloCereda I got tricked into another gihub organisation thing to make some scripts I wrote last century work so I don't want the testing aspect so much (my scripts are bug free) just an automatic build which means a log saying it built successfully isn't quite the right outcome, i actually want the result:-)
@PauloCereda that's all I want to do I want anyone on the organisation who can push an edit to the xml source have the generated html appear in a gh-pages site somewhere else
@PauloCereda yes thanks working through the help thing looks similar but good to hhave an example, I just got myself an authorisation token thing but I may stop for the day now.
@PauloCereda I was thinking that the travis/gh tutorial I was following was a bit simpler than the example you turned up but then in the notes in "your" example I got as far as:
NOTE: an earlier version of this guide recommended generating a GitHub personal access token and encrypting that. Although this is simpler, it is not a good idea in general, since it means any of your repository's collaborators would be able to edit the Travis build script to email them your access token, thus giving them access to all your repositories. The repository-specific deploy key approach is safer.
@PauloCereda hmm since I'm targetting an "organisation" repo, perhaps the more complicated version might be better:-)
@JosephWright OK but I'm only here for a bit this morning then I'm out of the loop until late tonight. on travis, currently I'm installing everything every time but do I understand the cache stuff means that they'l preserve the stated directories (so i don't have to wget the jar files I need each time)
@JosephWright not as far as I can see, or at least I couldn't see how to get apt-get to tell me if it's in a package already, but it's only two files but don't really want to keep pinging the remote server to get them every time I find a comma missing in the text:-)
@JosephWright you read some instructions? I was reading the travis instructions for pushing to gh-pages and that's what I've got working but the example Paulo found last night that I quote above suggests this way would be a bad idea (unless I generate a new fake gh-user separate from my normal gh account as anyone with write access to the repo could get my gh personal token) however I'm pleased to have it basically working.
@DavidCarlisle If you want to know whether a particular file (or file matching some pattern) is in an apt repository (or repositories) you could use apt-file.
@DavidCarlisle the master plan worked! Now, about that TeX thingy you mentioned that converts plain text files into PDF...
@JosephWright: have you ever watched the YouTube channel The game theorists? Recently, the host talked about the Dark Souls lore in two episodes, aiming at revealing who is the identity of the player.
Today I got a table overlapping a figure (both float). The bounding box of the figure is the correct size as far as I can tell, but the one of the table isn't correct. Why can this happen?
@Johannes_B -- nor did i. actually, the first paragraph isn't bad, but the second ("on references") refers to writing a novel as a wikibook, which is totally unrelated! oh, dear!
@barbarabeeton I didn't check any of the chapters yet. But the word novel confused me as well. I think it was just miswording.
@barbarabeeton @DavidCarlisle One thing i just noticed now: The originl author is given as leslie, the web site is latex-project.org. I think this is misleading at least.
Ah, this is about the LaTeX software. Not the wikibook. Sorry for the noise.
@PauloCereda the docs did mention about their gh-pages deploy rule using a -force option to git push, but that apparently means that if you push two files to the repo it deletes everything else, so I lost the index file, so the entire gh-pages site went offline.
@Johannes_B good to know. I don't think I need a quick introduction anyway. I should read the TeXBook or something of that sort (I don't know enough about TeX's secrets it appears), but I don't even have time for that right now :)
@Skillmon If you find some time with nothing to do, you can have a look at the LaTeX wikibook (the one everybody finds) and apply some improvements. :-)
@PauloCereda I think my plan now is to go with these simpler built-in rules using the gh auth key and avoid that leaking access to all my repos by using a custom "travis" user that I'll invite to the organisation and that account can have the encrypted key
@ChristianHupfer you do read the Wikipedia article, don't you? :)
@Johannes_B well in that case, I think one with more experience than me should rewrite it :) In the end I do recommend some stuff there which leads to maihem and the destruction of the world!
@Skillmon I see such drawings a lot at construction areas (shipyards), usually drawn on protection material in ships during building. I bet they cannot use TikZ for this. Still I wonder, why the workers like p's so much. I did not dare to ask. :-D
@Skillmon But, you know, it's easier to draw a penis using TikZ than do draw TikZ using a penis.
@StefanKottwitz The user currently asking to change the color of hyperref links... That template has a FAQ with currently just one question: How do i change the colors of links.
On the other hand, the user might not even be aware tht those are links?
@Johannes_B By the way, my coworkers like LaTeX now: they see just \input{header.tex} and all the body is clearly readable markdown for headings and bulleted lists and such :-) thanks to the markdown package. That does it for documentation (plus short commands for including screenshots)
@StefanKottwitz I just clicked on the List of forum Topics nd was directed to the search, not a list. I am not sure if this is the normal behaviour or if that changed with the forum update.
@Johannes_B Yes, after the major update the tagging was renewed and the links now are like latex.org/forum/tag/arsclassica-article and I need to change it there, thanks
@PauloCereda As things like Travis-CI don't offer a LuaTeX that actually works at all for us (TL'09), I'm currently really only worrying about TL'16 and TL'17, though once Travis-CI fully updates the image they use I might reconsider
@PauloCereda Current code should work with LuaTeX v0.70 onward, I think
with the listings package, how do you set it up so that when breaking a comment line (and only a comment line), it inserts a comment token after the inserted line break? Python is very tolerant of line-wrapping, save for comments (as it has sane continuation rules for code, but only has line comments)
@Shalvenay I don't think there's a way to do it (nor with minted). Both systems only define a single continuation character, with no contextual dependence.
@Shalvenay It seems like a clever thing to be able to do, since in principle you can tell when a comment line is being processed and then have a boolean in the continuation macro. But I don't know listings well enough to be able to give you an answer.
