I found explanations of how to include still previews of compiled latex documents on stackexchange here, but my question is specifically for slides. Sometimes people include an animated preview of their slides, such as in the accepted answer here. What is the best way to achieve this?
@Schrödinger'scat I think as asked, it's right on meta "how do you post an animation", the non meta question that is linked is "hos do you make an animation" so an answer here would be "make an animated gif" and then link to the other answer for how to do that — David Carlisle1 min ago
@UlrikeFischer, well, I feel like any answer to a 200k rep user should get more than the default rep points. Maybe you could give me a large bounty (e.g., 500) and then work towards it again :)
@PhelypeOleinik: I just made a quick edit to your answer changing the syntax when conditionals are used with parametrized directives. Conditionals are always written in the end. :)
@PhelypeOleinik: by the way, perhaps it's worth mentioning short-circuiting when writing boolean expressions in conditionals. Depending on the evaluation, the order matters. E.g, b(x) || c(x), if b holds true, c(x) won't be evaluated. IIRC we need to disable short-circuiting in some cases, I think the syntax is b(x) | c(x)...
It looks way better. Also note check = changed(entry) || check; as the term order matters! Due to the short circuit nature of ||, I forced changed(...) to be processed first, so we can ensure all file statuses are updated. It took me a couple of minutes to figure that out!
@PhelypeOleinik ^^ it indeed took me 10+ minutes to understand why my code was failing!
@DavidPurton The problem is that with accepting I get 2 additional points, and so my rep ends with 4 instead of 2. No bounty can adjust that: You are not allowed to give away 48 points.
@PauloCereda This user made the most complicated set of arara directives I've ever seen (ab)using this short-circuiting thing for changed(): tex.stackexchange.com/a/489687/134574 :-)
@PhelypeOleinik it's challenging to come up with a set of conditionals like this because you need to know exactly what you are doing. Short-circuiting and term evaluation order might cause colateral damage!
Given a string, replace all left-double-quotes into two backticks and all right-double-quotes into two single-quotes.
Left-quotes means the quotes that starts a quote. Right-quotes means the quotes that ends a quote. Quotes cannot be nested. You may assume that there are an even number of double...
@JosephWright Usually they are flexible about the input/output, unless the question restricts it somehow. Some time ago I wrote an answer and people seemed to like it, even without the \bye :-)
@barbarabeeton Rules for the question say everything is matched, no nesting, also this is code golf so I doubt it has to be robust for arbitrary documents!
@barbarabeeton Question seems clear we are talking ASCII "
