@marmot No, don't! I've seen that fail all too much in this proceedings volume I am putting together. Put braces around the subscript: $M_{\mathrm{w}}$.
@PauloCereda I've written to my mail provider (2 mails in the last 4 weeks) to address the problem. I have neither received a read receipt nor a reply :(
@PauloCereda You do not need to hurry. I've got some spare time currently, so I'm more "productive".
@PauloCereda Yeah, I remember setting up my first mail server wondering why no mail arrived at some big providers' servers. It was a long journey tracking down the problems…
@PauloCereda Actually, when I developed on this bulky closed-source operating system everybody uses I encountered WPF which had a similar concept of XML layout and separate code. When starting Java I loved JavaFX (probably that's why I also dislike Swing).
@PauloCereda I'll have a try to start a sample Griffon project with JavaFX and send it to you, so that you do not overestimate my skills ;)
@TeXnician WPF! I remember this framework. My problem with Swing is how people ommit important information. For example, if you want to use Swing and have no idea of what EDT is, you are going to have a terrible, terrible, terrible experience. But no Swing tutorial out there even mentions what EDT is!
@TeXnician Have you heard of SDKman? it's quite interesting. :)
@PauloCereda Really? As I were learning about multi-threading at the time I started Swing I found that very quickly. But the multi-threading of Swing is one thing I really dislike. JavaFX bindings are so elegant.
@PauloCereda No, but I'm satisfied with my IDE's management (at least currently). Maybe I'll look at it in the future.
@PauloCereda No, Eclipse didn't work out for me. I've started with Netbeans and am now using IntelliJ for its Kotlin support. Kotlin is a really great language.
@PauloCereda Oh, I've never heard of it. But I love Kotlin (even abandoned Groovy in favor of it). What's especially cool about it is the second nature as scripting language, which is used by Gradle nowadays (you can write Gradle build scripts in Kotlin).
@PauloCereda And just another nice thing in IntelliJ: the Java to Kotlin converter is quite good ;)
@TeXnician Really? I am really outdated. :) I had high hopes with the "holy trinity' back then (Scala, Groovy and Clojure). Scala had nice features, but I didn't like some parts of the syntax. Groovy called my attention (specially for nightingale), and Clojure is still a place for me to visit. :)
@PauloCereda Yeah, I completely understand you. I've went with Groovy for some time, but some time ago I switched to Kotlin and feel more comfortable. One of my long-term projects requires an add-on system and I really consider doing it in one language (Kotlin for programming and the Kotlin scripting part for add-ons).
@yo' we (my advisor and I) submitted a list with 10 names for the defence committee to be approved in the next department meeting (probably May 3). Once they approve it, we get 5 names of that list (my advisor included) to compose the "official" committee, and I will have 90 days to defend. We have a date in mind, but we are not sure if the bureaucratic procedures will go smoothly...
@PauloCereda I will be happy to help you. But everything is more functional than Java when it comes to write short and concise code, be it Groovy, Kotlin or something completely different.
@PauloCereda Me too. I'm trying to understand Griffon's project structure at the moment. At first glance it's a real mess (about 14 folders for an empty project and at least 10 gradle imports which are used).
@PauloCereda Well, I'm learning from the "example" they provide. That's usually the best way to see the intention of a software developer. Except for TeX ;)
@JosephWright -- i (actually ams tech-support) have been sent a problem file that uses amsbook and '\inputenc{cp1251}` with russian text input. the person who sent it has just updated to tex live 2018 and is getting really horrible complaints about Package inputenc Error: Invalid UTF-8 byte sequence., which he didn't used to get. trying to blame change on updated amsbook, but looks to me like a change in latex assumptions. can you take a look, please?
Academic idiocy: a student of ours can't deposit the final copy of their thesis without a lot of hassle because one member of their committee has left the university in the intervening 3 months since the defence.
@JosephWright Ok. Yes it seems odd that all members have to sign off and still be on the faculty. So we have to petition to get this person approved as an outside member just so he can sign.
@JosephWright It's not like this is an uncommon situation. I actually think it has come about because of automation (which can't deal with people who aren't "in the system") rather than an actual policy.
@JosephWright Of course, it will now be rationalized as policy...
@Hakim Well, then I'm out of ideas. Maybe somebody else may help you. But if you really want an answer to your question it's mostly better to ask on the main site and not in chat.
@Hakim You could simply install all packages ;) Or install TeX Live instead of MikTeX which does exactly that. And there are alternative editors as well (see the comprehensive list on the main site).
@Gragbow Now make things slowly more complicated. Play around with the system. Try also \include instead of \input. Btw: I didn't read the question but imho @mickep guess right: you didn't compile the right file. You always need to run pdflatex and bibtex on the main file.
@Gragbow You must have. Don't let you fool by windows, it will perhaps tell you that it is some some other file type, check the file extensions explicitly. (Don't double click on it, open it with your editor instead).
@UlrikeFischer Yes. And you see the file called main, when I used \input{lol} and \input{second} it worked fine. But when i changed the \inputs to \includes it stopped working
@Gragbow And no log-file, so your editor is either putting them somewhere else or deleting them after the compilation. Are you using texworks? then check the profile for a "clean" option and remove it.
@Gragbow texworks preferences -> typesetting. The pdflatex + makeindex +bibtex profile has normally a --clean option which has the bad habit to remove log-files.
@UlrikeFischer the one called lol is the file with \bibliography and \bibliographystyle in ir. I have just ran it with bibtex and got the .blg and .bbl files. What now
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99dThe top-level auxiliary file: lol.aux The style file: apacite.bst I found no \citation commands---while reading file lol.aux Database file #1: Bibliography.bib apacite.bst [2013/07/21 v6.03 APA bibliography style] (There was 1 error message)
@UlrikeFischer When I run main.tex with bibtex, no .blg file is created
@UlrikeFischer I tell a lie. I've just found it
@UlrikeFischer This is BibTeX, Version 0.99dThe top-level auxiliary file: main.aux A level-1 auxiliary file: second.aux A level-1 auxiliary file: lol.aux The style file: apacite.bst Database file #1: Bibliography.bib apacite.bst [2013/07/21 v6.03 APA bibliography style]
In my book I would like to have the numbers of my equations or this type
(1.1-1) or [1.1-1]
I do not like the numbering of the formulas as shown in the figure:
(1.11), (1.12), etc..
I remember that the first two digits (red rectangles) they refer to
the section and the last number refers to ...
@UlrikeFischer, @DavidCarlisle, @egreg, @marmot, @ChristianHupfer, @CarLaTeX, etc About 15 minutes I asked a question. If there is something wrong in English, edit it. Thank you for your precious help. I do not know what tags I could add to it.
