ha, right, I hadn't thought about it, lol

thanks

but it would be nice to have a rank of the citations

I would like to know which paper I am citing the most

Joseph Wright

6:11 AM

@DavidCarlisle One for Jonas?

Rmano

6:24 AM

@DavidCarlisle about learnlatex.org/en/lesson-10 - maybe there should be something about the dreaded $\LARGE x$ thing there? It's a quite common error...

samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz

7:27 AM

@nbro Use biblatex

51

A: Can I count the number of times each reference is cited?

If you're willing to switch to biblatex, you may use the citecounter feature that was added in v1.3. \documentclass{article} \usepackage[citecounter=true]{biblatex} \renewcommand{\finentrypunct}{% \addperiod\space (Cited \arabic{citecounter}~time\ifnumequal{\value{citecounter}}{1}{}{s})% }...

5

Q: Using citecounter for sorting in biblatex

I would like to define a \DeclareSortingScheme for biblatex such that \printbibliography sorts the citations according to the citecounter: Reference which is cited most in the document on top. Is there a way to do this. Everything I tried does not work.

David Carlisle

7:39 AM

@JosephWright possibly although we can decide if we want it, it is more or less working at davidcarlisle.github.io/ll/en/lesson-10 (but the buttons aren't fully hooked up yet) ace comes from a CDN so no hosting required but of course it's a bigger payload for the user, but the syntax highlighting is better, you get latex environment folding, search/replace (control-h) line numbers etc. No edit or copy buttons needed

@Rmano possibly although other than "don't do that" not sure what we could say?

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle what is ace?

@DavidCarlisle "less working" means that one currently get errors?

Rmano

@DavidCarlisle :-) well, maybe that if you really need a big $x$ you can {\Huge $x$}...

David Carlisle

8:01 AM

@UlrikeFischer ace is an online editor thing (I think it's what overleaf use as well) see ace.c9.io

@UlrikeFischer yes the buttons are still taking the text content (so see line numbers, and wouldn't see folded environments etc), need to change them to call the editor .value() function ran out of time last night, it'll be in place today at some point

ComFreek

@UlrikeFischer Indeed that line in mltex.ini was garbage: github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/584

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle the experience is quite good.

@ComFreek yes I saw your issue report yesterday.

ComFreek

ah :)

@MarcelKrüger What's the rationale behind luametalatex? (read the starred message)

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle Looks good to me: go for it?

@ComFreek Well Hans et al. are creating LuaMetaTeX for the future of ConTeXt, stripping out anything from LuaTeX they don't need. As they actually do the engine support, seems sensible to have a working LaTeX format for that engine

ComFreek

8:16 AM

ah I guess, then my question is what the rationale of ConTeXt is

David Carlisle

@JosephWright yes it took a bit of fiddling to get it integrated but I was quite happy with the way it looked, If it's all working on ll I may switch learnlatex this evening

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle, @UlrikeFischer Editor looks good, I think having a 'standard' one is sensible, don't really see a downside

ComFreek

but that should certainly be mentioned on this site

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle Cool

ComFreek

gotta search

Joseph Wright

8:17 AM

@DavidCarlisle You should be giving the talk, not me: a lot of what I say will be 'David did XXX'

@ComFreek ConTeXt users tend to stick to the mailing list, which some of us (@UlrikeFischer, @MarcelKrüger, me, for example) are on

David Carlisle

@JosephWright nah I'm just backroom stuff:-)

Joseph Wright

@ComFreek You could post a question on the main site, probably @MarcelKrüger or Aditya would answer

@DavidCarlisle You seem to be enjoying it :)

David Carlisle

@JosephWright lockdown hobby?

Joseph Wright

@DavidCarlisle I need to write my slides this week, expect some drafts (although they'll be pretty sparse)

Ulrike Fischer

@PauloCereda it is a secret ;-)

Paulo Cereda

@UlrikeFischer ooh a secret

We ducks are very good at keeping secrets

@UlrikeFischer is it a normal secret or a super secret? :)

Ulrike Fischer

@PauloCereda I found it by looking at a public commit message, so it is a super secret (nobody reads commit messages ...)

Marcel Krüger

10:11 AM

@JosephWright I'm not following, what's the question?

Joseph Wright

@MarcelKrüger @ComFreek was asking about the 'point' of LuaMetaLaTeX

Marcel Krüger

10:22 AM

@JosephWright Oh that question. It's new, there are breaking changes with many releases which randomly change core TeX behaviour and it requires lots of custom Lua code. So what could possibly be more awesome to play with?

Joseph Wright

@MarcelKrüger :)

@MarcelKrüger Reminds me of LuaTeX development in the past

Paulo Cereda

@MarcelKrüger ooh

LuaLuaMetaMetaLaTeX

3

ooh

Marcel Krüger

@JosephWright It will be interesting to see how active LuaTeX development continues to be.

Joseph Wright

@MarcelKrüger True: probably much less so than it has been

@MarcelKrüger Were you following things when @DavidCarlisle and I kept reporting random breakages to Hans?

Paulo Cereda

@JosephWright poking :)

Marcel Krüger

10:29 AM

@JosephWright Not really, but it sounds similar to my recent interactions with him.

Joseph Wright

@MarcelKrüger :)

@MarcelKrüger This was when we were extending the test suite to LuaTeX (it used to be e-TeX-only): there were lots of 'things' we found

@MarcelKrüger I've never worked out what Hans does for testing

Paulo Cereda

@JosephWright ooh findings

Ducks are good at finding things

@JosephWright what typical programmers do: one trivial test case -- it works for n = 1, then use the inductive step and thus it works for n = k, k + 1 and so on. :)

Marcel Krüger

@JosephWright When I tried running the tests with LuaMetaLaTeX I also found quite some issues, but an even better test was just trying to run latex.ltx...

Paulo Cereda

"Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." -- DEK

Joseph Wright

@MarcelKrüger Sounds good to me

@MarcelKrüger We should get LuaMetaTeX into TL, then we can add it to Travis-CI

Marcel Krüger

10:34 AM

@JosephWright Probably running some example ConTeXt document. There seems to be a correlation: If some functionality is used in ConTeXt, it is mostly stable. Otherwise, it is likely to be "more interesting" :)

@JosephWright Sadly there still is the whole licensing mess, I guess TL wouldn't be too happy about that.

Joseph Wright

@MarcelKrüger Ah,yes, that

@MarcelKrüger Quite

Paulo Cereda

@MarcelKrüger oh :(

David Carlisle

10:57 AM

@MarcelKrüger apart from being a back-up plan in case luatex support runs out, do you think it's a useful evolution of luatex or going in a wrong direction?

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle use Word?

David Carlisle

@PauloCereda better than vim

Paulo Cereda

@DavidCarlisle bah

@DavidCarlisle you mean like Emacs went into the wrong direction just like Windows in becoming a bloated unusable OS?

Skillmon likes topanswers.xyz

11:02 AM

@DavidCarlisle I doubt that :)

Joseph Wright

@UlrikeFischer I think I'll be able to add CIE-Lab support today

Marcel Krüger

@DavidCarlisle I think it's a good next step. The more LuaTeX's features are used, the more code does stuff similar to the backend anyway, so moving the backend into Lua is not that much mmore work and decouples it form engine upgrades. Also it allows to implement features there without needing agreement across formats beforehand, allowing for much more experiments than having a fixed binary. Especially this allows lower-level changes should they be required for accessibility.

@MarcelKrüger <3

Joseph Wright

@MarcelKrüger I wonder how Hans will react if LuaMetaLaTeX takes off!

Paulo Cereda

@JosephWright ~~copyright strike~~ hmmm

How about a metal, steampunk-like moon for a logo?

Meta = metal (close), moon = lua. :)

Something along these lines. :)

Ulrike Fischer

11:08 AM

@DavidCarlisle the first tries I made looked quite fast compared to lualatex.

@JosephWright create luametametatex?

Skillmon likes topanswers.xyz

@PauloCereda only thing missing is the "aTeX" from the name.

Paulo Cereda

@Skillmonlikestopanswers.xyz ooh

Joseph Wright

@UlrikeFischer I've not tried yet, but isn't it lacking HarfBuzz?

Ulrike Fischer

@JosephWright yes, but Marcel said it should be possible to add it.

Marcel Krüger

@JosephWright Hardcode a test which breaks the binary if \documentclass is defined?

Joseph Wright

11:10 AM

@UlrikeFischer Cool

@MarcelKrüger Ah, yes, could be

@MarcelKrüger Hans is normally quite laid-back, he'll just say 'people get what they get', as for ConTeXt he can change the engine and the macros/Lua in sync

Ulrike Fischer

@JosephWright luaotfload dev

Marcel Krüger

@JosephWright That's related to the secret project Ulrike mentioned: The latest release of LuaMetaLaTeX has HarfBuzz on Linux (My Windows dll doesn't work and I gave up), the luaotfload code is almost ready too.

Joseph Wright

@MarcelKrüger Ah, right

Ulrike Fischer

@MarcelKrüger I want to look at the breaking luaotfload tests in the afternoon. I guess the change to ^^^ notation like ! ....\TU/LatinModernMath(1)/m/n/10 ^^^^^^01D465 in some cases is harmless?

Joseph Wright

@MarcelKrüger Secret Plans, heh :)

Paulo Cereda

11:12 AM

@MarcelKrüger ooh secret

@JosephWright ooh more secret

Marcel Krüger

@UlrikeFischer That should be fixed now, I forgot to add a 0.

@JosephWright Also there are indications that HarfBuzz support might get into upstream LuaMetaTeX's optional extension mechanism. Then the only needed support code would be a native HarfBuzz library.

Joseph Wright

@MarcelKrüger Ah, that would be good

Ulrike Fischer

11:29 AM

@MarcelKrüger where did you see that?

Paulo Cereda

@UlrikeFischer ooh more secrets

Marcel Krüger

11:48 AM

@UlrikeFischer The Context documentation about that mechanism has a commented out line listing HarfBuzz with the comment maybe, for idris, testing uniscribe

@JosephWright Well we need a separate library for kpathsea anyway, so it doesn't make that much of a difference if that also provides HarfBuzz. (Actually the latest luaetatex release did add kpathsea support in the optional system, but they only added a small subset which isn't sufficient for us. I would take that as indication that they specifically decided against full support.)

Sebastiano

Best regards to all users into chat.

@egreg Very kind egreg, good morning, I have seen your message and also that of Peter Grill. I have put the screenshots of Papeeria TeXlive 2019 where I compile with another pc where I have not installed MikTeX 2.9. I not get any errors always with a lot of sincerity.

Ulrike Fischer

12:07 PM

@MarcelKrüger testing uniscribe? Isn't that windows specific?

Marcel Krüger

12:20 PM

Yes but it kind of makes sense to use it for testing because it's kind of a reference implementation of OpenType.

Paulo Cereda

@DavidPurton hi mr. koala!

Ulrike Fischer

12:34 PM

@MarcelKrüger travis now fails because the status is different (256 instead o 0):

! Compilation 1 of test file completed with exit status 256

Ulrike Fischer

12:52 PM

@MarcelKrüger I think it was because latex-amsmath-dev was missing. Checking this now.

Marcel Krüger

@UlrikeFischer It complains about \negmedskip already being defined.

Ulrike Fischer

@MarcelKrüger yes, because of the wrong amsmath version.

@MarcelKrüger it passed that test and now fails one that failed locally too. This failure are all because some 0 box is gone, but imho that is ok and I will change the test files. E.g.

***** .\BUILD\TEST-CONFIG-UNICODE-MATH\operatorname.tlg
   19:  ..\kern0.0
   20:  ..\hbox(0.0+0.0)x0.0, direction TLT
   21:  ..\TU/lmtt/m/n/10 s
***** .\BUILD\TEST-CONFIG-UNICODE-MATH\OPERATORNAME.LUATEX.LOG
   19:  ..\kern0.0
   20:  ..\TU/lmtt/m/n/10 s
*****

Marcel Krüger

@UlrikeFischer Yes, that looks like some amsmath or unicode-math change.

Ulrike Fischer

@MarcelKrüger I will push in a few minutes. There is also a small patch in database.lua for windows (from Akira).

Ulrike Fischer

Alan Munn

2:34 PM

@nbro On counting citations: I'm curious why you think this is a useful thing to do. What would the ranking tell you and what will you do with the information?

nbro

2:50 PM

@AlanMunn the ranking would tell me which source my work is most based on

at least roughly

I asked a more specific and concrete question here.

0

Q: Is it possible to automatically generate a rank of the citations?

I would like to know which papers or books I am citing the most. So, is it possible to automatically generate a rank of the citations? (i.e. automatically count the number of times all references are cited and then generate an ordered list)? I know I could use my editor to find the number of time...

citing natbib thesis books multiple-citations

Alan Munn

@nbro Yes, I read the question, but I'm asking why you think that information will be useful to you.

nbro

@AlanMunn Well, that will tell me, in a certain sense, the similarity between my work and the work of others

Alan Munn

@nbro My experience is that some things get cited a lot because they are foundational/important to a particular area/problem, but this doesn't necessarily mean they are important to the specific paper you're writing, which usually is connected to some more specific problem.

@nbro Similarity in what sense?

nbro

Similarity in the sense of relatedness

Sometimes I not only cite papers that introduced a certain concept but also papers that support my explanations

Alan Munn

3:09 PM

@nbro Well to each their own. :) I'm not sure I see the value in this as a measure.

nbro

well, this will also tell me how important is a certain paper/book for my work

Paulo Cereda

Customer: Do you have any two-watt, 4-volt bulbs?
Sales Rep: For what?
Customer: No, two.
Sales Rep: Two what?
Customer: Yes.
Sales Rep: No.

Alan Munn

@PauloCereda In some varieties of English this wouldn't work: 'what' and 'watt' are not pronounced the same. :)

Paulo Cereda

@AlanMunn ooh like in the "I never drink wine" line?

:)

Alan Munn

@nbro Surely you know this without having to count?

@PauloCereda ?

nbro

3:16 PM

@AlanMunn more or less, yes, I have a rough idea, but I would like to have the ranking to be more precise, let's say :)

Paulo Cereda

@AlanMunn YAPM sorry

Alan Munn

@PauloCereda :)

Paulo Cereda

@AlanMunn Bela Lugosi's line in the Dracula movie... sorry. :)

nbro

This is not extremely important, but it's something interesting in terms of statistics

I could actually write a script that parses my latex file, but maybe someone else has a better idea and already knows how to do it. I would like to avoid doing that by hand

INTERCAL

The Compiler Language With No Pronounceable Acronym, abbreviated INTERCAL, is an esoteric programming language that was created as a parody by Don Woods and James M. Lyon, two Princeton University students, in 1972. It satirizes aspects of the various programming languages at the time, as well as the proliferation of proposed language constructs and notations in the 1960s. There are two maintained implementations of INTERCAL dialects: C-INTERCAL, maintained by Eric S. Raymond, and CLC-INTERCAL, maintained by Claudio Calvelli. As of May 2020, both implementations were available in the Debian Software...

This part is gold:

INTERCAL has many other features designed to make it even more aesthetically unpleasing to the programmer: it uses statements such as "READ OUT", "IGNORE", "FORGET", and modifiers such as "PLEASE". This last keyword provides two reasons for the program's rejection by the compiler: if "PLEASE" does not appear often enough, the program is considered insufficiently polite, and the error message says this; if too often, the program could be rejected as excessively polite. Although this feature existed in the original INTERCAL compiler, it was undocumented.

Also, @DavidCarlisle ^^ undocumented features

Joseph Wright

@UlrikeFischer Slight holdup on LAB colors: I realise I've not quite got the model right

Ulrike Fischer

3:28 PM

@JosephWright should I look at something?

Joseph Wright

@UlrikeFischer No, not yet: I've done some stuff, but it's not quite ready and I want to rework it a bit, likely tomorrow

Ulrike Fischer

@JosephWright fine. Bruno seems to have time - I should ask for a bitset implementation ;-).

Joseph Wright

@UlrikeFischer Bitset is on my list, it's a question of how much we need

Ulrike Fischer

@JosephWright I only need (apart the commands to create and add/remove a flag) a sum output (\bitsetGetDec). I also want to address the fields by names, but that can be done with properties. And my bitsets are short - no need for large integers.

Marcel Krüger

3:48 PM

@UlrikeFischer I added a luaotfload PR for no longer normalizing symlink paths. While I thik that it makes sense, it has a certain potential to introduce subtle differences in existing behavior. Could you look over it if I missed anything?

barbara beeton

3:59 PM

@nbro -- Why don't you extract the "cite" references from the .aux files, sort and count them? (Not done directly by LaTeX, but more compact to deal with.)

Ulrike Fischer

@MarcelKrüger hm, well we windows user don't really understand symlinks ;-) (I ignored your instruction to symlink the luametatex binary and created a copy ...). But it sounds okay.

@DavidCarlisle That's looking great! (also no 'edit' and 'copy' buttons :-)

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle looks nice. Did the colors change from yesterday?

David Carlisle

@PhelypeOleinik yes I needed those to get rid of the github syntax highlighting as they interfere with editing, but using ace can have syntax highlighting while editing

Phelype Oleinik

@DavidCarlisle I never liked them :-)

David Carlisle

4:53 PM

@UlrikeFischer not as far as I now. The colours are a bit odd math commands are red which looks like an error but that's just the defaults, if I knew how to read the documentation they are probably changeable.

Phelype Oleinik

@DavidCarlisle (though I get why they were needed)

David Carlisle

@PhelypeOleinik since anyone who looks seems to prefer this version I'll move it over to learnlatex.org this evening

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle ah, that's why I had red in my mind.

Phelype Oleinik

@DavidCarlisle Also, there's an extra m in “produce dummmy text” (a comment in the "Making images float" example)

Ulrike Fischer

@PhelypeOleinik should be replaced by a z ;-)

David Carlisle

4:56 PM

@PhelypeOleinik sorry. @UlrikeFischer makes so many typos

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle tehhehehe!

Phelype Oleinik

@DavidCarlisle Of courze :-)

David Carlisle

@PhelypeOleinik she wouldn't make that one, no one can find z on a German keyboard

@PhelypeOleinik fixed thanks

Joseph Wright

5:33 PM

@UlrikeFischer I'll look at that once color stuff is done

Ulrike Fischer

@JosephWright it is not really pressing. Actually the only thing that currently bothers me here, is the name of the commands ;-). I currently use \pdf_flag_new:nn as wrapper around bitset and this is simply wrong, as it is not a pdf specific concept. How would we call a module for this?

Joseph Wright

@UlrikeFischer Well it is bit or bitflag or some such

@UlrikeFischer Team list for a module name, then I can start on the features

@DavidCarlisle Looks pretty good

7:12 PM

@JosephWright made PR for the record. I think I copied everything over: if something is missing when its live in gh-pages I'll clean up. Help page will need some edits as well, I'll do that in place when it's live

nbro

8:46 PM

Any idea why this item of an enumerate goes outside of the right margin? This only happens for this item and for the word "parametrized". If I remove the word, that disappears. Also, note that the second sentence is like cut

David Carlisle

@nbro if you are using the default US english patterns tex can not hyphenate parametrized

@nbro parameterized is normal spelling (or s if you are here)

nbro

oh, that was really the problem

David Carlisle

*\showhyphens{parametrized parameterized}

Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) detected at line 0
[] \tenrm parametrized pa-ram-e-ter-ized

nbro

but the second sentence is still cut

don't know why

David Carlisle

@nbro cut?

nbro

8:54 PM

if you look at the second sentence, the top of the letters is cut

David Carlisle

@nbro tex can't do that must be an artefact of your pdf viewer. what fonts are you using, are they bitmap?

nbro

I am using a custom documentclass that derives from book. I need to check it

David Carlisle

@nbro just put \expandafter\show\the\font on that line and say what message you get

nbro

you were right I think. I recompiled and re-opened the pdf viewer and the issue went away

nbro

9:11 PM

Anyway, it's weird that latex is not able to deal with "parametrized" or "parametrised"

David Carlisle

10:05 PM

@nbro why is that strange? neither match US hyphenation patterns

@nbro some dictionaries give it as an alternative spelling, if you want to add a hyphenation exception just add \hyphenation{pa-ram-etr-ized} somewhere

manooooh

@samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz thanks!!

10:22 PM

@DavidCarlisle well, I thought one could also write parametrized. I don't really know why

Isn't parametrized proper English?

David Carlisle

@nbro as I say some dictionaries have it as an alternative spelling so i guess it's proper but uncommon American English. But the hyphenation patterns are just patterns that can not catch all words, that's why \hyphenation command exists to add any more that you need.

Alan Munn

10:48 PM

@nbro I've never seen it, but apparently it does occur, although less frequently than parameterized (which is twice as frequent).

barbara beeton

11:30 PM

@DavidCarlisle -- You can't be serious about "pa-ram-etr-ized"??? Is that really what you get with the UK patterns? (I'd guess "pa-ra-me-trized"; the "-etr-" is really beyond belief, and it's not according to etymology.)

barbara beeton

11:58 PM

@JosephWright -- I have just mistakenly voted to close tex.stackexchange.com/q/553460 as a duplicate. I believe it is a duplicate, but not to the proposed question. I was attempting to propose tex.stackexchange.com/a/308980 but the system "grabbed" the vote without allowing me to enter the change. My vote has been challenged in a comment that I can't read (laptop problems). Can you fix this, or at least remove my close vote, please?
