@DavidCarlisle With all honesty and sincerity (I don't like the lies), I have not look after the edit. I have seen only <pre>....</pre>. when I was editing the code. I wondered: if I change it to the {} symbol on the panel, the user will understand that there is no need to write in html (?) or C+ (?) code. I haven't looked anymore. I teach my students that you have to be loyal and sincere. I can't do otherwise, that is to say preach well and racialise badly.
@Sebastiano no one accused you of lying, but editing someone else's text without even looking to see if the result makes sense is not that useful. You did not use the {} button, you used the '' quote button. (that is prefixed it with > instead of four spaces).
@DavidCarlisle When you warned me of the mistake I made and I pressed the possibility of going back with rollback, I saw what I had caused. I said to myself: but could it be that I modified all this, when I simply touched {}?
@DavidCarlisle With all my heart I am still convinced now that I have pressed {} and not ' ' quote button. .-( excuse me very much
Good morning everybody
@StefanKottwitz Good morning to you and all into the room.
@yo' shouldn't it be T2A,T1 if it is russian,english? (you have specified english as the default language for hyphenation and fixed texts but T2A as the default encoding
@DavidCarlisle I think that in fact I call \RequirePackage[T1]{fontenc} afterwards, so IIRC, the options fontenc gets are T1,T2A,T1 and for babel it's similarly russian,english,english
being paid by a page, I'm happy with the output, not principal decisions :-)
@DavidCarlisle it didn't sound as if he wants to do this, also I have no idea which encoding maps Бб to something looking like an a and an upside down exclamation ;-)
@UlrikeFischer is he aware that doing something as simple as posting the code to this website converts it to utf-8 so restricting to non utf solutions is going to make maintaing the file difficult?
@UlrikeFischer @HaraldHanche-Olsen I'm sure you both agree with this comment?
@DavidCarlisle I remember well the yellow quote box with > to do a yellow rectangle where there was the error the OP, but with all heart I never thought I'd alter the code for the worse. I can assure you.
@barbarabeeton @yo' Welcome into the chat.
@barbarabeeton I'm sorry if after a month I read your message on meta.TeX.SE. where I had to edit the code of my old January question (if I remember correctly).
@Sebastiano -- The last month has been very disruptive for me (retiring after 56 years with the same employer), so I haven't paid as much attention as I might to other things. I'm sure the delay was okay regarding your edit.

@barbarabeeton Please excuse me for interfering in your conversation, but I am surprised by the number of years you have worked for the same employer? Really 56 years with the same employer? How is that possible?
@PauloCereda and the great thing about the modern world is that "knowing" == "half read the google snippet showing a bit of the first para of a Wikipedia article" so no actual study is required.
@Sebastiano with all due respect, instead of always excusing yourself, try to absorb the constructive criticism you get from good and wise people like @DavidCarlisle and do not repeat the same mistakes. It's becoming a trend now, which is not exactly healthy for the community.
@barbarabeeton I am out of trim with my head and I should go and correct my students' homework in a few minutes. When you wrote to me about your employer, I immediately thought about my contrasting and contrastless magnetic resonance imaging of my skull to monitor two benign angiomas. From eastern Sicily I went to Palermo after a year of waiting. My greetings and I always wish you all the best.
@Kurt @AndréC @PauloCereda Ciao :-) :-)- I go out.
@DavidCarlisle yes. I get a sane output now. If context adopts it, it should be okay again (but we should still consider to change the default). github.com/u-fischer/luaotfload/pull/45
@DavidCarlisle -- Hmmmph. I started working for the AmericNan Math Society when I was just a year out of college. I started in a department that did special projects, so my assignments were quite varied, and mostly interesting. I got into the computer typesetting area when it was still experimental, and brought two different systems into production, one of them being TeX. It just hasn't been boring, so I stuck around. (I may be a fossil, but I'm not 110 yet.)
@UlrikeFischer -- Some of your tex.sx answers have been quoted to good effect in the blog latex-ninja.com . Were you aware of that? (The blog concentrates on the digital humanities; not the most obvious area, but a possibly fertile field.)
@barbarabeeton Neither, it's a real river, the Red Cedar River, a tributary of the Grand River, a river that goes roughly from Ann Arbor to Lake Michigan through Lansing and Grand Rapids.
@barbarabeeton Yes, this was taken from one of those bridges right outside our building. And there's a bike path that runs parallel to the river. You can canoe on it, and the thrill seeking kayakers also like to have a go during the spring melt when the water is high and fast.
@yo' He knows he's welcome. :) Although I don't think he ever envisioned life as a duck involved sitting on a chunk of ice in -5 degree weather. :)
@JosephWright it took around 2 hours for me. I wonder if they plan a 64bit version for windows and if I should send the first question to the list about it ;-)
@JosephWright What is the difference between choosing "skip" and "leave open" when deciding about the closure of a question? AFAIK "leave open" doesn't undo a close vote, does it?
@JosephWright Yes, but if I have the opinion "leave open" it doesn't have an effect. Is that right? I mean if 100 users vote "leave open" and 5 vote "close", the question will be closed?
