@UlrikeFischer Thank you for your answer: tex.stackexchange.com/a/398261/101651. I didn't know \reflectbox!

Ulrike Fischer

@CarLaTeX \duck[book={\scalebox{-0.5}[0.5]{\TeX}}] would do the same, but imho "\reflectbox" is easier to remember.

CarLaTeX

@UlrikeFischer Yes, it is!

Ulrike Fischer

07:25

@barbarabeeton Imho the sentence in the amsthm documentation that "If any theorem elements are numbered by section, and (in a book) the first such element in a chapter comes before the first section, numbering will continue from the previous chapter." is no longer true.

Paulo Cereda

08:20

@StefanKottwitz oh no

Ulrike Fischer

Could someone with a current texlive test this here tex.stackexchange.com/a/398274/2388? I don't know if the missing activation of the map file is a texlive bug that I should report.

@UlrikeFischer Works fine here

Paulo Cereda

Quack!

CarLaTeX

@PauloCereda Qua qua qua

Paulo Cereda

@CarLaTeX ooh an Italian duck

Ulrike Fischer

@CarLaTeX it is always astonishing how many votes one can get by adding a few pictures with ducks to a picture.

Paulo Cereda

@UlrikeFischer ducks are powerful. :)

CarLaTeX

@UlrikeFischer True!!! I didn't think it'd be so, it was such a simple question!

Paulo Cereda

oh boy oh boy oh boy

CarLaTeX

09:35

@PauloCereda LOL

Ulrike Fischer

@PauloCereda which reminds me we got some fluffy ducks

(sorry for the quality, I didn't want to upload too large images ...)

Paulo Cereda

@UlrikeFischer awwwww

Didn't see that coming.....

@JosephWright Thanks. Then I will assume that it is a local problem ...

Ulrike Fischer

@JosephWright found it. updmap-sys failed due to missing map-file called in a long-forgotten local updmap.cfg ...

@PauloCereda I can't see this link, but I have on for you cartoonstock.com/cartoonview.asp?catref=dcr0295

Hi chat!

Paulo Cereda

@BAYMAX Aloha!

BAYMAX

Actually a question

Paulo Cereda

ooh the Big Hero bloke. :)

BAYMAX

Ha ha

the TV season coming on Nov 20th

do watch

I have a sharelatex file i want that to be a TEX file

I just simply copied and ran and it showed me errors in texmaker but the same ran with errors in sharelatex

any ideas

Paulo Cereda

Black magic? :)

BAYMAX

13:00

meaning?

Paulo Cereda

Now, seriously: perhaps different TeX distros.

Different versions of packages.

It can be a lot of things. :)

Do you have a MWE?

BAYMAX

MWE?

Minimum working example

Paulo Cereda

Yes, if possible. :)

I don't use ShareLateX, perhaps \listfiles might help?

BAYMAX

where do i include \listfiles

Paulo Cereda

Do you have access to your log file in ShareLaTeX?

CarLaTeX

13:05

@BAYMAX ShareLaTeX does not have the updated versions of the packages, they update their system only periodically. Add \listfiles at the beginning of your code to see in the log which version you're using both on ShareLaTeX and on Texmaker.

egreg

@CarLaTeX @BAYMAX It's \listfiles, not \filecontents.

CarLaTeX

@PauloCereda It's possible to see the log on ShareLaTeX.

Paulo Cereda

@CarLaTeX Hm interesting!

CarLaTeX

@egreg Sorry, lapsus

BAYMAX

Thanks for the efforts! - healthcare companion :)

@barbarabeeton: /poke

barbara beeton

@UlrikeFischer -- thanks. i'll check that, and fix the documentation as necessary. although, admittedly, i'm surprised. i wasn't aware that there had been any changes that would affect this. it may be that a change has been made in book.cls, but if the problem still occurs with amsbook, the warning can't be removed completely.

@PauloCereda -- yup, message received! very fine!

Paulo Cereda

@barbarabeeton yay <3

David Carlisle

16:05

@barbarabeeton @UlrikeFischer that would I guess be a change to latex's \stepcounter which (since 2015) resets all lower counters recursively not just the immediately declared resets

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle your fault?

David Carlisle

@JosephWright not my fault

@PauloCereda epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/…

Paulo Cereda

@yo' oooh

Paulo Cereda

@yo' Have a great day, Tom!

BAYMAX

How you mastered LaTeX @PauloCereda :)

Paulo Cereda

@BAYMAX shoulders of giants. :)

BAYMAX

meaning?

Ulrike Fischer

16:46

@DavidCarlisle I know. I actually read the latex news ;-). @barbarabeeton Probably you should write something like "in older latex versions ...".

BAYMAX

@PauloCereda they cross the slide

actually i have two sentences and two equations

and after that i want to insert two images side by side

in one slide

perhaps he went to sleep ha ha :)

Standing on the shoulders of giants

The metaphor of dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants (Latin: nanos gigantum humeris insidentes) expresses the meaning of "discovering truth by building on previous discoveries". This concept has been traced to the 12th century, attributed to Bernard of Chartres. Its most familiar expression in English is by Isaac Newton in 1675: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." == Attribution and meaning == The attribution to Bernard of Chartres is due to John of Salisbury. In 1159, John wrote in his Metalogicon: "Bernard of Chartres used to compare us to dwarfs perched...

@PauloCereda @BAYMAX or more simply \includegraphics{a}\includegraphics{b} images come side by side by default (just like letters)

@UlrikeFischer "fake news"
