@CarLaTeX ohh yess! I finally decided to show you who is on the other side of the screen. I feel liberated, much more than before. I hope that one day, saving the enormous barriers of distance and languages, we can meet personally :)
@CarLaTeX what do you think about the d(uck)-shirt?
I guess we discuss this before but I cannot remember when and what was the solution: there is a problem between cases and the surrounding symbols. This is a fragment of what I am writing:
As you can see, there is a big space on the left but on the right it is fine. Why is this happening and how can we solve it?
To get a (perfect?) space between two cases I am using \! x5 i.e. \end{cases}\!\!\!\!\!\equiv\begin{cases}, but it's annoying to do it every time I need two cases environments together
@marmot oh yes... that was the problem. However, what environment would you use instead of cases? P.S. Thank you, it means a lot to me that you like it (it is a single shirt, I have used it multiple times!)
& is an alignment point. How about \documentclass{article} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{amsmath}
@CarLaTeX like the rest, I suppose. But I do not like to show how I am physically, but I proposed the opposite for you, for this beautiful community that almost does not exist on the internet
@marmot ^^^^^^ I would like to keep the original format, but the only thing I want is to "correct" the space that is left over (because I am not using &, but I do not want it)
A manual and inefficient way is adding \!\!\!\!\! to every display nested system of equations
@marmot yes you are right. It is not a cases statement but a system of equations. But I want it in a particular way. Do you think that adding 6 \!'s is the (unique) solution?
@marmot of course... but if you were me you should preserve the format that I am using. So I ask if you can think of a better idea than to add negative space :(
@CarLaTeX my questions are rarely useful for someone, but what you say is totally true. I am a rebel and I must learn to respect
I am looking for similar problems but I can not find anything (they are all about how to align but I want just the opposite), so it seems that I should ask a question
@JouleV ohh nice, thanks! I am fine, I am anxious to receive help in a new question that I will soon ask on the site :). Ohhh thank you!! You have a very nice collection!
Lol who was the person who gave +1 to the question created less than 1 minute ago?
@HenriMenke I have a feeling that the \setupmathematics[stylealternative={calligraphic}] does not seem to work for me with lucida. Do you have lucida? Can you try the following example? I will post to the list if there seems to be a problem.
@mickep Interesting… When I was writing my master thesis, the stylealternative mechanism didn't exist yet, so I used a workaround of adding ss04 to all the font feature definitions. However, not even that workaround is working in beta.
@HenriMenke Oh, maybe you should add that as a reply to my mail to the list. Or perhaps not necessary, Hans will probably find out by himself quite fast what is going on.

@MarcelKrüger thanks. I have lot do this weekend, so can't really do much, but I would like to upload at least a fix for the letterspace stuff if possible.
@UlrikeFischer font is T1 and inputenc is utf8, but maybe the files which are compiled are not in utf8 (not sure, as those are temporary files produced by Python's matplotlib). I just put a \AtBeginDocument{\def\textdegree{\si{\degree}}} into the files preamble, now it works again.
@Skillmon well the question is if you really want a \textdegree there. I can force the error message ! LaTeX Error: Command \texteuro unavailable in encoding T1. without any euro ... (I used a „). Better do \def\textdegree{I'M HERE!!!!!!} and check the document.
@marmot, did you see this interesting problem? https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/476137/14757 Maybe you have a solution without clipping since clip could produce green arcs depending if the circle intersects the rectangle. I saw on user guide that there are some functions to decide if the point is in or out some region.
@Sigur Apart from your answer which you unfortunately deleted, there is another answer in which there are two codes, one with clip and one without. (I would never use ifthen there but the built-in ifthenelse with \ifnum.)
@marmot, I deleted mine because I was computing the coordinates for the rectangle in terms of the nodes, not using the fit. Also, when I tried to make it more general, giving the maximal values for x and y in the loops, it was hard to implement.
@marmot, also, the other solution does not work if we add one extra orange col.
@Sigur And when you decide to post something along the lines, please replace \x by \X and \y by \Y because otherwise there may be nice interferences when something using the calc syntax is added to the code.
@Raaja :-) I have translated from Italian language in the English language, peraphs. I'm writing, in this time, without the use of translator. The explanation is: I'm not very expert to create complicate macro (prehistorical method or rudimental fantasy (creativity) :-) but I have used a simple combination of symbols and the space. :-) I hope to undestood me.
@marmot and @Sigur Hi, and my best regards. Good work.
Would I be correct to think that the vskip=10in option passed to quoting would be overwritten and ignored by the following line, which (I believe) redefines quoting?
@FaheemMitha if the package quoting defines an environment quoting then the next line would overwrite it. But as always: it is much easier to answer a question with a complete example.
As part of an attempt to debug another problem, I have a need for a TeX/LaTeX command that generates some dummy text in place. I know of lipsum and blindtext, but they are not what they want. What I have in mind is a command that takes the following arguments: a string (s) and integers (k and n),...
Today I thought of a very funny way to do a full expansion of macros to only characters, using \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\@gobble\expandafter\string\csname #1\endcsname (of course this is very fragile, but it is expandable).
@Sigur When I'm in the chat room, I generally say goodbye to everyone. Since you and marmot were working in chat, I greeted you and wished you good work.
@DavidCarlisle, here is a mwe. I want zero space between the rows for the 2x2 grid \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{subfig} \begin{document} \begin{figure}[h]\centering \subfloat[faa]{\label{fig.a}\includegraphics[width=.45\linewidth]{example-image-a}} \hfill \subfloat[fbb]{\label{fig.b}\includegraphics[width=.45\linewidth]{example-image-b}} \\ %% \subfloat[fcc]{\label{fig.c}\includegraphics[width=.45\linewidth]{example-image-c}} \hfill \subfloat[fdd]{\label{fig.d}\setlength{\baselineskip}{0pt}
@DavidCarlisle where is \ifincsname from? New addition to the engines? It's not part of TeX nor eTeX.
@DavidCarlisle why does the kernel use \expandafter to escape \if...\else...\fi structures, instead of something like \def\afterfi#1\fi{\fi#1}, which is faster?
@Skillmon you can't use afterfi if you don't have control over #1 (it blows up if #1 contains \fi for example, and depending how you use it may limit catcode use
@manooooh no it's using the envionment as intended (rather than using cases as not intended)
@DavidCarlisle also, I would like to read your opinion about if it is correct for you to add a comma , to separate each equation inside aligned (unless there is a text that continues with the reading or that ends the sentence)
@DavidCarlisle grouping; \afterfi{\iftrue true\fi}\fi should grab the correct arguments. And I'm speaking of many kernel constructs, which do have complete control over the contents of #1.
@DavidCarlisle oh, okay. I like you to insist with my mistake, that makes me realize that I am more human :). Would you like to post it as an answer?: tex.stackexchange.com/q/476111/152550 Your solution seems to me more clearer, precise and simple
@manooooh it's not normal to punctuate an aligned display but it is normal to punctuate lists so it depends.... (normally, almost always not, I would say)
@Skillmon but then you have introduced a group.....
@DavidCarlisle there's a \par in the somewhere for some not apparent to me reason. The question is why is there a \newline or \par , or however it's define to be when you have a lot of text in a column of that type, given that nothing goes over to the next row, as shown, if I take a character out, then the height of the row is halved
@DavidCarlisle \afterfi{#1}\fi doesn't group the results of #1. It will expand to \fi#1, not to \fi{#1}, because of the rules delimited arguments have.
@DavidCarlisle there is no source, it's just the cell of in an m-type column, of certain length, in a row in a longtable; you @'ed me with a single question mark, pardon me if expand upon the previous question without linking explicitly to iit
@Skillmon actually the reason why there are so many \expandafter\else in the 2e sources is that 2.09 (like plain) used \if xx \let\next\zzz\else\let\next\yyy\fi\next but the \expandafter\else trick was being discussed "in the ether" at around the time we made the first drafts of 2e, and it was expandable and quicker and generally nicer so we basically switched all the tests to that style in one go.
@vlg of course there is a source, you made that image somehow. But as I say I can not understand your query, it seems unrelated to longtable or m columns or anything else, you have a line of text, you make it longer by adding a character and that causes it to wrap to two lines, surely that is expected?
I'm having trouble making an mwe, the major packages,commands etc. pertaining to font, tables- the text wraps as one'd expect, so sure enough something else is causing it to now. Unless somewhere, somehow a single space is getting inserted onto the next row, I can't. It's not that I can't insert/delete characters- it's that I don't understand what's going on. Which is deeply discomforting.
