If in doubt, tell OP to update in user and admin mode: tex.stackexchange.com/q/519284/134574 :-)

@CarLaTeX -- I also get a (different) corrupted view on an old Mac with Chrome. Didn't happen earlier today. Something fishy is going on.

@PhelypeOleinik Hi, you have an email :)

@PabloGonzálezL Hello :-) Not yet, apparently...

@PabloGonzálezL Give it a couple minutes

@PhelypeOleinik Your mail and mine don't seem to get along :(

@PabloGonzálezL My mail is proving itself more picky than I'd like.

@PabloGonzálezL You sent to the new address? If so, try the old one. That seemed to work

@PhelypeOleinik I've forwarded it to your old address.

@PabloGonzálezL Meh, now I got both (in spam). Go figure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@PhelypeOleinik Sometimes happens :(..snif

@PabloGonzálezL Replied ;-)

@PhelypeOleinik I have replied, I hope it arrives :( ... good night...time to sleep ...zzz

@PabloGonzálezL It did now. Good night!

@PhelypeOleinik Yes, it is fixed now, thanks! (@barbarabeeton)

Wow this looks amazing: github.com/SwiftLaTeX/SwiftLaTeX

Try it here: swiftlatex.com/oauth/login_oauth?type=sandbox

Basically it's LaTeX running locally in the browser, plus BakomaTeX/TeXPad-like WYSIWYG (which is obviously not perfect), and SyncTeX-like inverse search

It's not perfect and seems to have some bugs, but I was able to paste xii.tex into it (without the final "jbye") and it handled that too

@ShreevatsaR a very important use case:-)

definitely :)

@JosephWright ^^ For the learn-latex thingy, perhaps...

Well, looks like there are some limitations on the specials/drivers side (so no TikZ or tcolorbox for example) currently, but most of the standard LaTeX features and packages seem to work (labels and cross-references, etc).

@ShreevatsaR I assume this is using the same kind of compilation to Javascript as texlive.js? Do you know which source they are using mostly the versions of that I have seen are quite old

@DavidCarlisle Yes something like that, but they seem to have built on top of it (to hook into TeX and be notified when things change etc). I was looking at their FAQ (swiftlatex.readthedocs.io/en/latest), it mentions a paper from 2018 (DOI: 10.1145/3209280.3209522)

@PhelypeOleinik About to have a look

@DavidCarlisle Looking inside the wasm binary files shows something like “This is xmlTeX, Version 3.14159265^@-2.6^@-1.40.20”, and “This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265^@-2.6^@-1.40.20”, so it seems to be based on TL '19... but the actual source that led to that binary doesn't seem to be included.

@HenriMenke oopsie

I just wrote an answer using tabbing.

Probably a very underappreciated feature of LaTeX.

@HenriMenke I've just learned of it :-)

ooh another Bond movie

TERRIBLE FONT CHOICES

@PauloCereda Are only the font choices terrible?

@wilx good point :)

@cis who is he? Some context would be helpful here.

@Skillmon He is the LaTeX. This is 'computer scientist'-jargon.

@ShreevatsaR I'd love to know how they achieve the high compilation speeds (I know they pre-render during input, but still the compilation thereafter seems to be pretty fast)

@Skillmon fast bunnies

@PauloCereda BUNNY ENSLAVEMENT

@Skillmon oh no

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}

----> error

@Skillmon the paper explains this: they queue up user edits and apply them directly to the PDF; meanwhile they also send them to the latex compiler and when it is ready they merge the remaining edits.

@ShreevatsaR Yeah, I read this, but still they advocate "Fast compilation thanks to LaTeX checkpointing"

@ShreevatsaR is that what they mean with that term?

@Skillmon yes the checkpoint will be the data structure that lets them know which edits have been done since they last did a full latex run.

@DavidCarlisle but the compilation will still be the complete document, not just some parts of it, I thought this was what they meant with "checkpointing"

Die Kartoffel

German is so easy

@cis oh no

/quacks in despair

Hold on, I can do this

@cis ^^

How did I do?

oh

So my tip: Have a look into the work of the Brothers Grimm. :()

Please, what page do you see on texdoc.net ?

@yo' tex.tips

@TeXnician ok, so it's not only me. @PauloCereda ? ^^

@cis ooh

@yo' tex,tips

someone ate your beautiful and utterly useful webpage :)

(I suppose @StefanKottwitz messed the server settings)

@yo' ooh

@PauloCereda Are you learning the -honorable- German language?

@cis I tried in the past, but had to stop in the early lessons. But I am eager to return to this beautiful language. :)

@cis I prefer the old methods. :)

ooh apfel

I don't remember girl

Frau?

@PauloCereda that's a generic opening greeting for females, IIRC

@yo' oh

ah mädchen

@PauloCereda Frau means woman, but also is used like "Frau Schäfer" (so a generic opening greeting for females)

@PauloCereda Mädchen (uppercasing is important!)

@Skillmon oh sorry

All nouns are written with uppercase, right?

@PauloCereda Benötigen Sie Hilfe?, ich kann gut Deutsch

@PauloCereda but not only for greetings, but also to formally address a female in a conversation (in the "Frau <surname>" form).

@DavidCarlisle why the comma behind the question mark?

@DavidCarlisle ooh Deutsch

@PauloCereda correct.

off for dinner!

@Skillmon don't question an infallible source

unfortunately bread, no duck :(

@Skillmon have a great time, mr. rabbit! <3

@Skillmon ooh bread

@PauloCereda yeah, because in German, most nouns are full self-contained sentences.

We ducks like bread!

@yo' aha!

@PauloCereda I only know 'girlies' ('girlys' written here)...

@Skillmon Mr. Skillmon, do you learn "Klingon" with the duolingo-app?

@cis oh no

That's a round cat. :)

@PauloCereda Yes, of course. :()

@PauloCereda that's what happens if you take a normal shape cat and whack it with a big stick.

@DavidCarlisle oh no

@DavidCarlisle cartoonish approach :)

@cis no, and I don't intend to.

@PauloCereda -- I keep telling you, bread is not good for ducks! (Grain, on the other hand, ...)

@barbarabeeton oh

@barbarabeeton No, bread is better for my very cuddly cat... :()

@yo' It's fixed (but no need to use the www. prefix)

@StefanKottwitz thanks!

corriere.it/economia/consumi/19_dicembre_05/…

@PauloCereda ^^^

@CarLaTeX YES

NUTELLA IS GOOD

@PauloCereda especially on pizzas?

@DavidCarlisle YES

Nutella pizza is good!

@PauloCereda Mr. Cereda just make a Bolognese!

ooh

@cis OMG

@CarLaTeX is this a "OMG, what did this German guy do to our cuisine, that's an affront to all Italians." or is this a "OMG, this looks so good I want to taste it, you're a genius, I never would have thought a non-Italian good do this"?

@DavidCarlisle what is ymir.claremont.edu?

@Skillmon one of the premier pre-ctan archives and one of the few that could be reliably reached from the UK before the UK was on the internet. It's maintainer Don Hosek answered a fair proportion of questions on comp.text.tex and probably taught me most of the tex I know, certainly taught me how to answer queries on public forums. How many Don Hoseks can there be I wonder....

@DavidCarlisle you didn't know everything from the start?

@Skillmon nope:-)

@Skillmon ooh

@DavidCarlisle -- I've met Don Hosek. I think there's a really good chance it's the same.

@DavidCarlisle -- Have investigated further. On LinkedIn, I've found a 2nd-level connection to Hosek, and it's someone I know from the earlier TeX world. So this reinforces my earlier conclusion that it's the same person.

@barbarabeeton good to see some old names still interested in TeX:-)

@Skillmon More the first one :P

@cis Is there Nutella in it?

@CarLaTeX Oh no, Mr. CarLaTeX - I do not eat sweet things! Only sour and salty food!

@Skillmon Mr. Skillmon, I do not know to understand your phrases. But, I make all the meals in the American way! Best example: Pizza! That has to be triple-cheese!

@cis it's probably a bad habit to put Mr. in front of user names, stick to just using @ More often than not, Mr is the wrong title.

@DavidCarlisle Mr. Carlisle, you know I am a very polite man. ;)

@cis yes but using Mr when addressing a lady isn't polite, nor is using Mr when people have other formal titles such as Dr

@DavidCarlisle Ouh, is @CarLaTeX a Lady?

@HenriMenke @JosephWright @UlrikeFischer today's instalment: accsupp atbegshi atenddvi atveryend hologo pdflscape pmboxdraw rerunfilecheck oberdiek

@cis I give you a hint, the first name isn't Carl.

@Skillmon Yes, why not. My name is Carl too.

@cis :) Yours might, but the first name of that particular user isn't.

@Skillmon Ok, so who is the bad girl here?!

@cis Yes, Carla - tex

@CarLaTeX Ouhhhh.... Carla!!!

@cis So we are almost namesakes :)

@CarLaTeX but both missing isle to give your names some stature and importance

@DavidCarlisle Oooh Carla - isle

@DavidCarlisle tex.stackexchange.com/questions/519356/…

@DavidCarlisle Getting told off about TDS zips :)

Does anyone know anything about the status of filehook -- bitbucket.org/martin_scharrer/filehook/issues/1

With force it works, but I figured it should work without that.

@StrongBad show an example.

@UlrikeFischer yeah, I know. I got to go track down an MWE. I figured if the bug was still known I would just wait it out.

@JosephWright I blame you for making them

@UlrikeFischer @JosephWright we need to ping Martin again?

@DavidCarlisle :)

@DavidCarlisle You have to opt in

@JosephWright I know:-) but actually as I mentioned to Ina it's useful check that the same list as the original oberdiek manifest are actually bundled. It's quite easy to miss some of the non standard files.

@DavidCarlisle Sure

@DavidCarlisle You missed an interesting meeting :)

@JosephWright just seen you sent minutes, let me look...

:)

@DavidCarlisle I could understand Chris ...

@DavidCarlisle I think we need to check KOMA first.

@UlrikeFischer too scared to raise an issue there

@DavidCarlisle I meant we should check the koma development version. There is a tds, I will look.

@UlrikeFischer First thing to add to contrib tests I suspect

@DavidCarlisle @JosephWright it errors with the newest tds-version too and I don't see anything obvious in the commits. I'm not sure who should adapt its code, but probably filehook.

@JosephWright that testing config I should probably finish off my branch that uses a normal tu format in base.

@DavidCarlisle Sounds good

@JosephWright I didn't push it to gh as there were a couple of issues, all resolvable I think but I ran out of time. should be able to look at that in next few days

@DavidCarlisle Great :)

@DavidCarlisle thanks for making the mwe
