@yo' @egreg was quicker than me to answer. :)

A Gold Man

8:54 AM

when a vadjust migrates, does it go to the line before the containing hbox or the line after?

Paulo Cereda

@yo' oh I think I see why the question! Today is what we know as Gaudete Sunday (Sunday of joy,), along the lines of "Rejoice, for the Lord is near". It's common for our priest to wear rose-coloured vestments.

@yo' "Misa de Gallo" should happen at 00:00, but the faithful usually cannot stand a celebration that late in the night. :)

@PauloCereda The "messa di mezzanotte" is popular in Italy

Paulo Cereda

@CarLaTeX :)

@PauloCereda I remember my father did attend the mass only in that occasion :)

David Carlisle

@JosephWright we'll need to get @egreg to read the last paper at guitex.org/home/it/numero-23-aprile-2017 :-)

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle Indeed

David Carlisle

@AGoldMan after

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle or the footnote of my paper in the last edition. :)

Joseph Wright

10:05 AM

@DavidCarlisle I think Hans misses the point ...

David Carlisle

@JosephWright you have seen the paper?

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle No :)

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle Joseph parla italiano

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle I'll mail

Paulo Cereda

Sono italiano di Northampton

Joseph Wright

10:09 AM

@PauloCereda Si si

Paulo Cereda

@JosephWright :)

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle See mail

David Carlisle

10:24 AM

@JosephWright oh yes agreed

@JosephWright meanwhile after saying standard policy is to reject 2e pull requests, what's our policy on 2e pull requests...

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle Why do you think I put Frank down to review ;)

@DavidCarlisle Probably we should have 'please step the file version' in the instructions ...

David Carlisle

@JosephWright yes although if we also want to keep \changes entries and changes.txt etc, pretty much any update is going to require some manual tea editing afterwards

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle They can be sorted in a PR before merging

David Carlisle

@JosephWright I didn't see the review assignment (I just answered the mail )

@JosephWright yes although in some ways it's easier to merge and do local tests before committing isn't it unless you check out the requesting repo and do checks there before merging or can I easily see the PR version as if on a branch?

Joseph Wright

git checkout -b aminophen-fixlatexrelease master
git pull github.com/aminophen/latex2e.git fixlatexrelease

@DavidCarlisle ^^^

@DavidCarlisle See 'command line' instructions on GitHub (github.com/latex3/latex2e/pull/3), or various GUIs make this easy

Hello everyone! I am putting this here beacuse I have this akward situation. The OP commented my answer here https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/406531/125434 but I find two things:

1) I do not really know what does she/he is meaning by "pure TikZ" since I have worked with TikZ/PGFPlots as one thing for that answer and until today I realize they are separate basically, but I do not distinguish the main difference.

2) I would like to explain to her/him that it would be very difficult to plot revolution solids with some fake approach to 3D axis plot (AFAIK, there is no way to do that) and convi…

David Carlisle

@JosephWright git pull https://github.com/aminophen/latex2e.git fixlatexrelease yes that's what I meant I know I can do that, I suppose that's the git way (although it still feels heavyweight for a 4 line change but I suppose it's not really checking out the entire repo again, at least I hope it isn't:-)

Joseph Wright

@Cragfelt Don't have to do anything: the answer may well be useful to others. If the OP wants to avoid using pgfplots they can make it clear in an edit, and perhaps someone will post a parallel answer.

@DavidCarlisle No, it's just pulling the commits which are different between the fixlatexrelease branch of the aminophen fork, and the master branch of the main repo

@DavidCarlisle As you say, this is the 'Git way': disposable branches created locally

David Carlisle

@JosephWright yes so just need to rewire brain, not read more instructions:-)

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle Just trying GitKraken's GUI for this: it shows PRs so I can just 'add as a remote and checkout' :)

@DavidCarlisle Remember Travis-CI runs on PRs so we already know the test suite passes

David Carlisle

@JosephWright I might have a look (I have that installed) still we have to decide if we want to accept the pr (or if I should just take advantage of git's ability to edit history and pretend I never did it wrong in the first place)

@JosephWright but it passes either way so it isn't testing this:-)

Joseph Wright

10:47 AM

@DavidCarlisle Yes true

@JosephWright: Any hints on which strategy is better: fork/PR or branch?

Joseph Wright

@PauloCereda Entirely up to you: in the end we will likely go for a rebase strategy to integrate into master

Paulo Cereda

@JosephWright Understood. I am quite curious on how a rebase of just one huge file works. :)

Joseph Wright

@PauloCereda Mainly fine

Paulo Cereda

@JosephWright really? Now I am more curious!

Joseph Wright

@PauloCereda We are used to 'keeping out of each others way' on the team: usually we don't have more than one person working on one block of code at a time

Paulo Cereda

1:09 PM

@JosephWright That makes sense, and it looks like a very sensible approach.

I see the LaTeX2e repo is accumulating stars ...

Is \documentstyle a typo? — egreg 4 mins ago

Great how some people mix LaTeX(e) syntax ;)

@TeXnician And ignore messages such as

TeXnician

@egreg It's easy not to see or to ignore. I know people who run (for their thesis!) LaTeX in nonstopmode, their editor (Texmaker) says that there were errors and they think "I can view a PDF, so who cares about errors".
