@DavidCarlisle I am too innocent to reset the page size. My dream is to calculate the header height in advance to pass it to geometry since I don't guarantee every time I change something in the document, the header will have the same height or I will be able to calculate the new height.

@Diaa exists('log') and !missing('log') are semantically the same.

@PauloCereda Am I asking too much if you could create a rule for it? :)

@PauloCereda IKR, I just didn't notice my way to solve it :)

@Plergux -- Stunning! Certainly it will be wonderful on a book, when that happens. And I second @HaraldHanche-Olsen's surprise at a surname.

@Diaa for? :)

@PauloCereda Your answer tex.stackexchange.com/a/525606/2288 XD

@Diaa Ah. :) For version 6.0, we will have projects, so this is technically covered with the upcoming version. :)

@PauloCereda great news. any expectations for the release date?

@Diaa for TL2021 test, hopefully. :)

@PauloCereda All the best

@Diaa thanks. :) Meanwhile, I will see what I can do with that answer. Will tackle next week because this one is a bit... hectic, to say the least. :)

@UlrikeFischer it ran without error as far as I could tell

@DavidCarlisle yes, but that was an MWE. I know the older questions ...

@PauloCereda law of excluded middle

@DavidCarlisle :)

@DavidCarlisle who cares about classical logic :D

@PauloCereda classical logicians

@DavidCarlisle Earlier, I was advised to compile in nonstopmode to make the compilation come to an end in case of errors without going in endless compilation. Do you recommend another way?

@DavidCarlisle I make it up with impeccable musical tastes :p youtube.com/watch?v=aYDfwUJzYQg

@barbarabeeton :D Thank you :) Speaking of surnames, I'm gonna get my sisters to help me with the book and list authors as Beck, Beck, Beck, and Beck XD

@samcarter_preparing_for_xmas :D

@barbarabeeton Speaking of which, back in the 80s sometime, I visited the Courant Institute briefly. While there, I chatted with an Icelandic postdoc (I think) there. He had his wife and kid with him, and he told me about their experience enrolling the kid in school. The person taking down their names etc. was completely confused by the father, the mother, and the child all having different last names. They tried to explain, but in the end she said, …

… “you know, dears, it would be so much easier if you just got married!”

@Plergux you need to include one Call, I think

@Diaa whichever mode you run in you can not use the pdf file if there was any error, if you use nonstopmode it might get to the end to make a pdf but that is only useful for debugging not as an actual document.

@HaraldHanche-Olsen Maybe she didn't think that through. Would the kid have to get married to the parents? :)

@AlanMunn Oh, she definitely didn't think it through. By the description I get at the time, she was about 90 years old.

@Plergux -- That's a super idea! A "vier(B)eck".

@HaraldHanche-Olsen -- Groan.

@HaraldHanche-Olsen -- Oh, I'm not much of a gamer, but I loved that one. I believe that DEK has rewritten it in MIXX. (Should check.) Jigsaw and crossword puzzles are more in my line.

@AlanMunn ooh

@HaraldHanche-Olsen -- Thanks for clarification. I was going to ask ...

@barbarabeeton I was wondering if anybody would get the reference.

@HaraldHanche-Olsen LOL

@HaraldHanche-Olsen eh?

@AlanMunn :D

@HaraldHanche-Olsen Reminds me of the time I was visiting my mother at the care home and I had my son with me. This lady, around seventy maybe, asks me very kind like "Oh, is this your youngest child?" To which I replied "No, this is my only child." THe look on her face was priceless. XD

@barbarabeeton :D

@Plergux grammarly.com/blog/beck-and-call-or-beckon-call/….

@HaraldHanche-Olsen Ah, of course XD Wouldn't we then need one Call for each??

@Plergux I think Beck, Beck, Beck, Beck and Call would be good enough.

It mightseem like you suffer from stammering, though.

@HaraldHanche-Olsen Beck, Beck, & Beck @ Beck & Call XD

hehehehe "callback"... CS jokes

@Plergux (argh – the chat broke the link. But I see you got it anyhow.)

@PauloCereda promises are better

@HaraldHanche-Olsen Well we could use the patronymic plus the surname in case they need beating around the skull with it XD

@HaraldHanche-Olsen bah everything is meant to be broken :)

@PauloCereda make it a clapback and you've combined the two :p

@Plergux ooh

@DavidCarlisle ^^ accurate

@PauloCereda seems about right

@Plergux Four Becks would top three brothers Holden at least. Two mathematicians, one economist. One of them (Helge) has the office next door to mine.

@HaraldHanche-Olsen :D Well, we have a writer with a degree in French, a customs officer with a degree in Swedish, an archeologist (PhD) and a linguist (soon to be PhD) so it's gonna be something XD Maybe we should rope dad into it as well. Then we'd have an ex-farmer with a degree in History as well XD

@cfr OH my apologies!

@AlanMunn ,-- The problem with this is that they would set their tails on fire. At the very least, that would smell just awful.

@AaronHall hello new person!

hi

Quick scope question: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/573622/… feels off-topic, as it is not about R-in-TeX but only about R. Or do we include general R questions?

@Skillmon I voted to close

I'm not exactly new, though. I've been talking about latex in here since 2015: chat.stackexchange.com/search?q=latex&user=2896&room=41

@AaronHall new face to me, sorry :) But my memory always has been kinda lossy, especially regarding people, faces, and names.

@Skillmon humans probably all look alike to rabbits

@DavidCarlisle finally some understanding for our shortcomings. For us, you're all just prey! :)

@Skillmon -- Does that mean that rabbits will attack much larger two-legged creatures? (I'll have to watch my stuffed bunny more carefully! I always knew she was subversive.)

@barbarabeeton of course! Did you not watch Monty Python's The Holy Grail?

@barbarabeeton Run away! Run away! :p

@Skillmon -- Oh, dear -- my education is deficient; I missed it. I'll have to make a better effort (and keep the bun from watching over my shoulder).

@barbarabeeton \faints

My wife is baking a ginger bread house. I think I should go nag her a bit (and maybe help) :)

@barbarabeeton Then again, somebody would probably have the same reaction over the fact that I've never seen a single Friends episode. :p

@Skillmon nah, nagging is more fun. "Are you gonna do it like that?" "No, it's fine, you do it like you want." "It's not what I would do but whatever." ... "Are you gonna put that much?" "Why don't you put more?" (as you can hear I'm an expert "back seat baker" :p)

@Plergux -- We actually have lived without a TV for at least ten years. When we are staying in a hotel, the first thing my husband does is pick up the remote and turn it on.

@barbarabeeton Well, we haven't had any TV stations for almost two decades now, but we watch a lot of movies. And TV shows. And cartoons. The movies I've seen probably number in the hundreds.

@Plergux I know that Iceland used to have a TV free day each week. But are all days TV free now?

I should have found a longer clip. This one misses the Holy Hand Grenade.

@HaraldHanche-Olsen 1, 2, 5!

@HaraldHanche-Olsen -- Oh, my!

@barbarabeeton Happy St Barbara’s day.

@Skillmon and the count shall be three

@AlanMunn -- Thank you! (I didn't actually realize it was my name day.) The day I really want to be prepared for is the day of the winter solstice. Soon ...

@barbarabeeton Ask @Plergux about Þorrablót …

@Plergux -- It's been suggested that I ask you about Þorrablót, According to Wikipedia, it happens in mid-January (which is much closer to mid-winter than the solstice) and is now celebrated with "traditional" foods. (If that includes pickled fish, count me in.)

@yo' no rush (and I should probably ask overleaf support) but is it clear why overleaf made main.pdf but doesn't show it here?

@DavidCarlisle tweaking latexmk to run context sounds a bit odd ;-)

@UlrikeFischer have a better plan? (it does actually work:-)

@DavidCarlisle no, it is quite impressing. But I wonder how much in latexmk is prepared for this ;-)

@PhelypeOleinik all done?

@DavidCarlisle Oh no!

@DavidCarlisle (yeah, sent earlier to my advisor :)

@UlrikeFischer if you look at that overleaf project now you'll see my cunning plan to ensure that a context log parses like a latex one.

@DavidCarlisle ... and I tried it on overleaf. It didn't stop spinning but a pdf was there.

@PhelypeOleinik sorry you will have to change your name you can't edit boxed quotes here..

@UlrikeFischer it's quicker after the first time (cache building I assume)

@DavidCarlisle :)

@UlrikeFischer actually with the latest version with zzz.aux I'm not sure why ot fails to display on overleaf, I get status 0 from latexmk when i try it locally

@UlrikeFischer oh of course overleaf uses --jobname so I need output.pdf

@DavidCarlisle but the stdout and stderr files show errors.

@UlrikeFischer not now, and the overleaf pdf viewer shows the output

@DavidCarlisle what would happen if the context runs errors?

@UlrikeFischer I never write tex files with errors

@UlrikeFischer to do it properly (short of writing the perl so latexmk actually understands a context log) you would replace that copy of a latex log with some grep in the real log fo errors then write (any) tex error to the log you construct.

@UlrikeFischer but doing any more is consulting for Overleaf for free and it's bed time:-)

@DavidCarlisle I could help you and add \blub ;-)

@DavidCarlisle good night, I'm going now too

@UlrikeFischer night
