@Sebastiano Non lo so. I'd need the full code.

@Sebastiano Try:
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{\sffamily\normalsize\bfseries\hspace{20pt}\chaptername\
\thechapter.\ #1\hfill \raisebox{1pt}{\large\textcopyright} Sebastiano\hfill}{}} % Chapter text font settings
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\sffamily\small\thesection\hspace{5pt}#1\hfill
\raisebox{1pt}{\large\textcopyright} Sebastiano\hfill}{}} % Section text font settings

You all should opt out of arbitration. Now. (It's not that much an issue for EU citizens as these are actually protected from arbitration abuse, but still.)

After installing MacTeX 2018 and deleting the files of 2017, the TeX Live Utility will show no windows. It app starts, and it can be quit from the dock (thus it is responsive), but it shows no windows.

Is this a known problem? What's a workaround? How can I reset the app so it's usable again?

Now I'm stuck with the command line tool for managing packages.

@PauloCereda When do you travel back to Brazil?

@DavidCarlisle -- a comment on this answer showing an end-of-proof marker overprinting the right-hand end of a one-line display coded with align* claims that this is an amsthm bug. i claim it's not, since align is intended to be used only for multi-line displays. but before i respond to the comment, i would like your opinion. (reactions from @egreg, @daleif, @yo', and anyone else welcome too.)

yo'

@barbarabeeton It's not a bug. At best, it's an unfortunate feature of align and gather that they shouldn't be used in place of equation. (I can reply to the comment this way if you don't plan to reply yourself.)

David Carlisle

@yo' it's simpler than that actually:-)

@barbarabeeton it is not related to it being a one line align (you shouldn't use one line aligns but for other reasons) The issue is that you should not use \qedhere on the left hand side of the equation. add & before \qedhere

@yo' @barbarabeeton you get same over printing with two-line align:

\begin{align*}
  zzz=2\\
 a + b = c \qedhere
\end{align*}

yo'

@DavidCarlisle ah, so it is a bug, in a sense; \qedhere should be able to count the columns and add & as needed :-)

David Carlisle

@yo' no users should not use align structures with no alignment points:-)

yo'

14:08

@DavidCarlisle well, I don't see what's wrong with align without & if you need everything right-aligned.

barbara beeton

@yo' -- i've just realized that \[ ... \] works too, and am going to add that to the answer. as for responding, i think i'll wait until the further discussion here has run its course.

David Carlisle

@yo' I do:-)

yo'

@DavidCarlisle I'm one big ear

(sorry, that's probably a too much Czechism, I mean I'm eager to see the reasons :-) )

David Carlisle

@yo' by assertion, it's just wrong.

yo'

@DavidCarlisle assert(align and not '&' in wrong)

David Carlisle

14:09

@yo' the english idiom would be "I'm all ears" but close enough for me to understand:-)

yo'

@DavidCarlisle ok, that's a funny one :-)

however, assertions sound a lot like dogmas, and these give me the shivers

David Carlisle

@yo' people who have write access can be more dogmatic than people who don't:-)

yo'

@DavidCarlisle now you really sound like the TeX inquisition.

David Carlisle

@yo' my three main weapons are are ...

@yo' but more seriously we have fleqn for flush left equations, we don't have freqn for flushed right ones but if they were needed, better to implement that than mi-use align with no alignment points

barbara beeton

@DavidCarlisle -- but fleqn is "full-length" equation, not flush left. (see the documentation, both user doc and comments in amsmath.dtx file, or maybe in testmath -- the latter written by michael downes.) thanks for response to comment; i agree fully, but expect some blow-back.

David Carlisle

14:30

@barbarabeeton no flalign is full length align, fleqn is flush left eqn

barbara beeton

@DavidCarlisle -- urk. you're correct. (i'm leaving for vacation tonight. guess my brain has already left.)

David Carlisle

@barbarabeeton but I meant the user error that you introduced, using align you can use qedhere as &\qedhere so that in itself isn't a reason for not using align for one line equations.

@barbarabeeton have fun

Alan Munn

It's amazing @egreg isn't a metal head. @TorbjørnT must be. :)

14:47

@AlanMunn btw, that guy (Jakub Marian) is Czech :-)

barbara beeton

@DavidCarlisle ^^^ i'm going back to visit this guy.

It seems that our local online news site has been reading my answer to how to substitute all "i's" with dotless versions...

Faheem Mitha

@AlanMunn That's a curious thing to make a map of.

Alan Munn

@FaheemMitha For many more great maps check out twitter.com/TerribleMaps.

Faheem Mitha

@AlanMunn You mean, for many more terrible maps?

David Carlisle

@barbarabeeton I'm no medic but your host does not look well.

15:21

@UlrikeFischer What is swimming in the cauldron? Ducks? Is that why the crocodiles are so happy?

Faheem Mitha

@marmot Presumably poodles.

barbara beeton

@UlrikeFischer -- charming. (there's a skull very like the one in the picture at the prague castle. the one there is allegedly the head of st. george's dragon. i can't claim anything so exotic for mine, but i do claim findership, and can even still identify the location where it (still attached to a very dead body) was found. the skin would have made a very nice briefcase.)

Alan Munn

@FaheemMitha Some of them are truly great. This one, for example.

Ulrike Fischer

@marmot not apples poodles. And the second from the left is saying ooh -- probably @PauloCereda in disguise.

Faheem Mitha

@AlanMunn As in, there aren't any?

Is that actually true?

I know the UK isn't the most welcoming to refugees.

marmot

15:24

@UlrikeFischer I'm not convinced. Maybe @PauloCereda is swimming in there and has (for the first time?) a reason to say Ooh ;-)

Alan Munn

@FaheemMitha I'm sure it's not, but as a commentary on UK policy, the map is brilliant.

barbara beeton

@FaheemMitha -- not true. if you read the comments in the original posting you'll find it's a sterling example of "fake news".

Faheem Mitha

@AlanMunn Fair enough.

@barbarabeeton That phrase is unfortunately becoming very popular, thanks to the Orange One.

Alan Munn

@barbarabeeton I don't think it's fake news at all. It's social commentary.

barbara beeton

@AlanMunn -- i do stand corrected. (sometimes it's hard to tell the difference, and getting harder.)

Faheem Mitha

16:10

@barbarabeeton It's a confusing world out there.

David Carlisle

16:27

@JosephWright thanks for the tlg update

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle No problem

@DavidCarlisle Meanwhile, I'm thinking I really need siunitx v3 with all of the Unicode font stuff

@DavidCarlisle Re-implementing dcolumn again :)

David Carlisle

@JosephWright you can't beat the original and best , that's what I say.

Hi

Is there any package that can produce the following document

Q: Attractive chapter titles and sections styles

I came across a website where i found this attractive design for chapter titles and sections. https://webusers.imj-prg.fr/~leonardo.zapponi/leo_divers/Agreg/Matrices_normales.pdf Here's my attempt at reproducing it \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report} \usepackage{tikz} \tikzstyle{a} = [text ...

David Carlisle

@JosephWright meanwhile if I hide my local version and use the tl218 l3build to match travis, it helps to run tlmgr update first....

Stefan Kottwitz

16:52

@barbarabeeton I plan to update and then to re-enable it. Following the shutdown request after upgrade shaming just took out the pressure. So I can work on other sites EU GDPR formal requirements first (before lawyers tackle sites).

barbara beeton

17:09

@StefanKottwitz -- thanks for letting me know. (i find it's generally a good plan to avoid lawyers except possibly in exclusively social settings. some of them are actually rather interesting and nice people.)

Educ

17:19

please is there anyone here knows the name of package that can produces this PDF

@Educ you just asked that 4 lines up!

Educ

17:48

yes because no one answer me I'm still waiting if there is package that can produce the style of title chapter and sections to looks like that

Torbjørn T.

@AlanMunn Not so much actually.

Phelype Oleinik

18:08

Oh the things you see in life. A list of equations:

Loop Space

@Kpym In case you have an SO tab open ... I'm just updating my PGF installation to have a poke around at the pgfsys-tex4ht.def code to see how it works and whether or not it would be adaptable.

Loop Space

18:26

Ack. Can't update pgf from cvs as it complains about a lock file.

yo'

18:44

@PhelypeOleinik beautiful! Was it possibly due to some publication rules?

David Carlisle

@Educ well just repeating twice a question that anyone will already have seen on site doesn't really make it more likely to get answered, but as the answer and comments in your question state your picture looks like standard tcolorbox examples to me.

@LoopSpace find . -name .lock and remove:-)

Loop Space

@DavidCarlisle I think the lock is on the server and it's preventing me updating. As I'm just trying to clone, I can't change anything on the server. To be honest, my days of using bleeding edge PGF are probably done and I should simply use the latest version in TL.

Phelype Oleinik

@yo' No, please, this is not mine.

David Carlisle

@LoopSpace or use bleeding edge l3draw instead, then you can use git and pester @JosephWright

Phelype Oleinik

@yo' I was put in charge of creating the format of my postgraduate program's thesis format, so I was browsing the ones that exist currently and found this gem.

@yo' But yes, it seems to be a common practice to put a list of equations. I think that this is at least pointless...

David Carlisle

18:56

@LoopSpace actually joseph pointed out a got version of the pgf repo the other day, you could use that

@LoopSpace sourceforge.net/p/pgf/git/ci/master/tree

Loop Space

19:40

@DavidCarlisle Thanks!

David Carlisle

@LoopSpace other things are available in git too github.com/latex3/latex2e/blob/master/base/ltpictur.dtx

Loop Space

20:23

@DavidCarlisle I've already cloned latex3 so that I could get my hands on l3draw.

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle :)

@PhelypeOleinik Essential information! :-)

Phelype Oleinik

22:36

@egreg Oh, most certainly :)

@egreg It was made with Word (obviously) so there's even an equation that is not in the stated page (yes, I checked :P)
