Is it possible to have more than one label property for a label in \tikzcd?

I want \arrow[dl,dotted,{"\theta" left, near start}] essentially. So I want both 'left' and 'near start' properties for my label.

Nvm, I see. It is space sensitive.

@user104729 Are you sure? I think the problem was the braces.

@AlanMunn That was a secondary problem, but an attempt solution haha.

@user104729 :)

That was what made me think to add that initially.

@user104729 The docs are a little unclear. The braces are needed inside the "..." if the label contains a comma. So "{\theta,\beta}"

Hello! What would be a good tool to make screenshots of the results to display when I am answering a question? I use Windows snipping tool, but I think it does have a bad resolution.

@Cragfelt Look at the answers here: tex.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2781/…

The expert = me, at work, yesterday ^^^

@CarLaTeX ”Draw a line in the form of a duck”?

@egreg LOL

@CarLaTeX Thank you for the tip!

@Cragfelt You're welcome!

@egreg ooh :)

@PauloCereda Did you do so much trigonometry at school?

@egreg not that much. :)

@Canageek There is wdiff, which may help with that. And if you are using git: git diff --color-words.

@egreg mostly the subject was developed later

@PauloCereda From your thesis reference list? ;)

@mickep no but I have some amusing ones. :)

@PauloCereda come come come, no secrets in here... :D

@mickep This is one. :)

@PauloCereda Hehehe. I'm not familiar with it, but it looks good, doesn't it?

@mickep Sure do. :D

@DavidCarlisle ^^

Hi everybody, does anyone know whether the biblatex-chicago package will be updated to reflect the changes in the 17th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, which was published in September?

@Philipp You could always ask the maintainer, there's an email address in the manual.

@TorbjørnT. I thought he might be around here, but I’ll try that then. Thanks.

@egreg one for you:

@DavidCarlisle hmmm

@DavidCarlisle Did you forget a %?

@egreg collective responsibility, you're on the team, so you get the blame

@JosephWright ^^

@DavidCarlisle Let's blame Frank

@egreg OK

@egreg or rather I only fixed in in pdftex:

@DavidCarlisle Line 485, I see

@egreg that's the one...

update pushed to github

@DavidCarlisle you two working together?!

@PauloCereda no he's no help!

@Canageek there is always latexdiff and some diff programs can be setup to do word level changes. I just finished an email shouting match with a journal and have gotten them to take my LaTeX generated pdf instead of a Word document.

@StrongBad yay!

@PauloCereda I hate when publishers make things difficult. I am willing to write (okay to be fair have my grad students write) a manuscript in Word if that is all the journal will take, but in this case the journal didn't say use Word.

@StrongBad I can relate to that. It happened to me with IEEE Latin America. They offer LaTeX templates and encourage you to use them. However, if your paper gets accepted, you need to send a Word version. But that's an unspoken rule, told me by the editor in charge.

@PauloCereda That's really bad.

@AlanMunn And it was a paper with lots of floats.

@PauloCereda as expected from a duck

@DavidCarlisle LOL

@PauloCereda yeah, that is the type of BS I cannot stand.

@DavidCarlisle ooh that's good

@AlanMunn that was very witty :)

@PauloCereda And in the meantime my Latin puns go unnoticed. :(

@AlanMunn uh-oh... I need help!

@PauloCereda Read back a little. ;)

@AlanMunn ooh that one. :) A friend of mine always thought it was a movie theater (Cine Quanon). :)

@AlanMunn it wasn't the Latin, it was the advanced mathematics was too much for the audience.

@DavidCarlisle Ah, that must be it. :)

@DavidCarlisle I was thinking that it might be possible to skip the dvi step and just write the text file directly.

@StrongBad you can alias latex to latex $*; dvi2tty $1 so changing the program to do that saves one intermediate file write but doesn't really make any difference to most users. The fact that xetex doesn't write pdf directly does not concern many xetex users, as far as I can tell.

@DavidCarlisle okay, that sort of makes sense.

@DavidCarlisle alias emacs=vim

So if I just want plain text dvi2tty is better than tex4ht

@StrongBad a lot more sense than either of the comments@PauloCereda just made

@StrongBad it's different.

@DavidCarlisle you are mean

@PauloCereda I thought we were blaming Frank today.

@StrongBad oh sorry.

I blame Frank.

@StrongBad dvi2tty is a text representation of TeX's formatting (so linebreaking in particular) If you do tex4ht (or latexml or lwarp or ...) to html then typically you are not doing that, so it depends what you want. Also of course dvi2tty probably hasn't changed since 1985 but the html generators are somewhat more actively developed... (and of course you then need to get text out of the html)

Are you able to make a local texmf.cnf (meaning in your home folder) with TeXLive?

@AGoldMan yes

@DavidCarlisle just put it in the top of my texmfhome?

thanks. I also found the answer in the main site

@AGoldMan standard place is /usr/local/texlive/2017/ which just has comments saying to edit it but you can put it anywhere in the path TEXMFCNF

@DavidCarlisle I was talking about per-user, not per-site, but I got it

@AGoldMan same thing in my case:-)

@DavidCarlisle same here, I just don't have root on my computer

@AGoldMan @DavidCarlisle Isn't the standard place for the local user texmf simply ~/texmf (~/Library/texmfon a Mac).

@AlanMunn yes it is, for per user configurations

[paulo@cambridge Stuff] $ kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFCNF | tr ',' '\n'

@AlanMunn ~/texmf doesn't appear to be in the default TEXMFCNF

@DavidCarlisle Ah, ok. I've never had the need.

@PauloCereda I get more or less the same

Thanks guys. See you later

@DavidCarlisle great minds think alike

What just happened?!

@PauloCereda they do, and sometimes great minds think like a duck

@DavidCarlisle Quack. :)

Just getting an image upload using this chat. That's why my message was removed. Thanks for allowing me to do that saved me so much time. Check out Charcoal HQ chat. That's normally where I am

See you laters

@JakeSymons no need to do that, you can use an answer box (without posting the answer)

@DavidCarlisle according to the TeXLive manual, when you add one in your home folder, you need to add it to TEXMFCNF

Morning

@Canageek Evening

Evening right now....Europe?

No Wait, Asia or Australia?

Asia, close enough

I never remember the extra 3 hours now that I live on the west coast

@Canageek Afternoon. :)

@DavidCarlisle Note the "Written on public transport..." thing. :)

@AGoldMan reading a manual? where will that lead you?

@PauloCereda I think they should increase the percentage of copy & paste of previous presentation :)

@CarLaTeX you could make the same chart for sections of a thesis "copied from other thesis", "written on shaky bus" etc...

@DavidCarlisle And written while waiting for your pizza :)

@egreg using imakeidx, is it possible to filter the index file first with a different program?

@PauloCereda You are mean.

@AlanMunn oh no

@PauloCereda I am not mean. :)

:)

@PauloCereda you haz mail

@PauloCereda A question for you tex.stackexchange.com/questions/402624/what-is-path-used-for

@DavidCarlisle The OP here: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/402592/… is looking for an italic symbol, the solutions in the duplicate question are not...

@CarLaTeX Thanks, The OP's ping didn't work, presumably because my name was camelcased

@DavidCarlisle It's a work for the green one...

@DavidCarlisle That's why I pinged you :)

@CarLaTeX the comment above was nonsense (my first comment was better:-) I added an answer

@AGoldMan No.

@DavidCarlisle Upvoted :) but the characters aren't exactly the same :)

@CarLaTeX you mean the e isn't an i or stix isn't exactly the same as the wolfram font?

@DavidCarlisle The second one :)

@CarLaTeX the wolfram font used to be available, I think there may even have been a latex package but ...

@egreg, @PauloCereda all set to watch the Ashes?

@DavidCarlisle Oooh
