@DavidCarlisle -- Well, it was worth asking. That's what I would have tried, using the same counter. (I've been on a plane all day, so am a bit fuzzy brained.)
@Rmano It would be a great service to humanity if someone could tell this user that the OP is automatically notified and it is not necessary to announce every single answer with a comment...
Anyone have any suggestions on this one: tex.stackexchange.com/q/593690/3929, any solution seems highly dependent on the GS version and I don't use MikTeX.
@daleif well it could have to do with the fact, that preview has not been adapted to the new shipout hooks. But I can't even compile the pstricks on its own so it is difficult to debug.
@JosephWright sure. But which end format does his system produce that he thinks for example that a command to set the media size (\pdfpageheight) is unneeded?
@JosephWright good, because I already started to ponder how we could move all this "set the media size" stuff into l3backend ;-). Do you know his end format?
@UlrikeFischer We should do that, but we will need to work out how that impacts on the long standing issue that a 'classical' file with no graphics/colour loaded then comes out a bit differently
@JosephWright we could bind it to the pdfmanagement stuff, then it is new stuff. (I removed there all page size code from the hyperref driver, so actually there is already a difference).
@Anush you don't need external links (which many of us would not follow):
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{}
\begin{columns}
\begin{column}{0.4\textwidth}
some text
\end{column}
\vrule{}
\hspace{5pt}
\begin{column}{0.6\textwidth} %%<--- here
\vskip -0.5cm
text
\vskip 0.3cm
text
\vskip 0.2cm text
\vskip 0.2cm text
\vskip 0.2cm text
\vskip 0.2cm text
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
@Anush as Rmano says the -ve vskip is forcing the rule to be short, also horizontally you appear to have the width of spme word spaces, plus 5pt plus the width of the rule more that \textwidth (doesn't beamer have a built in column rule?)
@Anush you don't have to use a rule you could use \includegraphics{mysep} where mysep.png is whatever tall thin fancy scrolling decoration you care to draw
@DavidCarlisle Another MathML question(Just let me know if these annoy you): MathML core allows CSS length units, including rem which is specified to be relative to the "font size of the root element". If MathML is embedded e.g. into HTML, is the "root element" the "<math>" or the "<html>" element?
@MarcelKrüger html (but currently all global properties are a bit vague, hope to finally tie teh css working group down this time to be able to really spec how properties applying to all math should be specified at the top level docuemnt head)
@DavidCarlisle, @UlrikeFischer Took a while to write something - I hope I've been clear. Would welcome further thoughts on \pdfpage(height|width) in particular
Is it just me, or have a significant number of user icons been disappeared? I mean, @DavidCarlisle's tabularx performs one sub-optimal estimation and the next thing, his user icon is gone! How Stalinesque!!
@PhelypeOleinik Not really - the whole reason that code is in l3trial is that until we have release on the PDF management, it's a stub that can't really work
As noted in comments under the question tabularx gives a hint if you use debugshow In this case it is doing a specific test to prevent some internal calculations exceeeding \maxdimen and giving errors and spurious results. But in this case it's being over-cautious and backing up when it doesn't ...
@UlrikeFischer But my main point was that many user icons have disappeared.
@JairoA.delRio the other alternative (and something I've done in the past) is to be adventurous and implement your own pRNG (I once implemented an RC4 in TeX)
@JairoA.delRio well, the problem was XeTeX and not LuaTeX back then, so no hopes for Lua there... :) Nowadays just use the functions provided by expl3 (and only if you want to support legacy engines use random.tex).
@UlrikeFischer Furthermore, I confirmed the behavior on several rarely used browsers, where cache would not be an issue. Probably a cache issue, but on some intermediate gateway.
Thanks to @UlrikeFischer https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/57160/38080 now `circuitikz` manual examples are cut-an-paste friendly! ...not that anybody reads it, but ;-)...
Ok, almost all example. Darn. The last example on page 15 in github.com/circuitikz/circuitikz/releases/download/v1.3.4/… seems to trigger some bad behavior in listings... the spurious (it's not in input) white line seems to break the cut-n-paste.
Seems that if the length is just that it triggers it. Ok, will fix next time...
@PhelypeOleinik maybe because I myself never considered \csname-expansion a stable concept (though I played with it myself of course). I guess if I knew the reasoning for the \csname-expansion and what possible arguments were I would have a different stance on that (I just got the mail and took a very quick look; the code looks fine, still the concept is strange)
@Skillmon That's for file names only, so we expect normal characters and utf-8 active characters which are by design safe inside a \csname, so it should be fine. For some time the LaTeX kernel used this \csname approach, but now it relies on expl3 for filename sanitising, so we moved the code there
@barbarabeeton No that's not really a solution, as this is for a package that should be usable with any class/package in principle. I'm also trying to achieve backwards compatibility with the package it's emulating (gb4e) so that it could be a drop-in replacement. I'm beginning to think that that's not going to be practical, and instead may just implement a separate list for footnotes at the expense of that backwards compatibility.
@samcarter_looks_forward_TUG'21 -- The pineapple was brought home by sailors to North America when they returned from a long voyage. It was set outside the front door as a token that the sailor had returned home. It figures in quite a few traditions and in ornamentation in Newport and other Rhode Island port towns. A nice tradition, I think.
@barbarabeeton I was watching some videos from youtube.com/user/Joolzybaby earlier tonight and he told a story that one could rent pineapples just for the duration of a party to impress the guests :)
