Oh no.... I installed teXworks right now, but....
What do I have to do?

(Linux Mint 21.3 cinnamon)

It does work in the terminal
`pdflatex test.tex`

OK.... works.... seems I have to say
'sudo apt install texworks' in the terminal, not in the "Software Manager" (or whatever the correct word)

David Carlisle

@cis most likely tex is not in the PATH of the shell from which you launched the editor.

....
Are there several color-palettes of a svg-graphic?

I added in INkscape some colored lines to a svg-graphic.
But by conversion to a ttf-file, they become black.

@JosephWright I never thought we were aiming for a 1:1 reimplementation, but more for a sensible alternative with cleaner interface and cleaner backend, so I'm fine with basically any name (how about scotty.cls, it could beam your presentation up)

Skillmon

@DavidCarlisle ew, I was really assuming that \RequirePackage put the characters affected by \ExplSyntaxOn and \makeatletter on a stack, not only @.

Ulrike Fischer

@Skillmon I didn't test but I assume that the problem is the \usetikzlibrary.

@Skillmon see github.com/pgf-tikz/pgf/issues/1213

Skillmon

@UlrikeFischer I'd have assumed the same, but @DavidCarlisle for instance said you should put \RequirePackage{array} outside of an \ExplSnytaxOn-scope.

David Carlisle

@Skillmon hmm did something change while I wasn't looking:-)

Ulrike Fischer

@Skillmon hmm ;-)

@Skillmon I'll clean up comments

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle what should we do about the colortbl tagging issue (github.com/latex3/tagging-project/issues/80)? I could temporarly put the new \endarray definition into the latex-lab firstaid. Or should colortbl be updated directly?

David Carlisle

@UlrikeFischer update directly, I guess

Skillmon

@DavidCarlisle I deleted my "wait [...]" comment as well

David Carlisle

@UlrikeFischer do you have the update available I assume it needs to merge the intended change over the new array package code

Skillmon

3:42 PM

@PauloCereda ooh no, I completely missed towel day!

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle öh, sorry which update? The new array code will be there with the next latex, so you probably should test the format date or the package date?

David Carlisle

@UlrikeFischer no I meant the code needed in colortbl. Can I not just add \CT@end to the end of \endarray so it wiill work in old or new code, or does it need more?

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle Well yes, I assume that you only need to add \CT@end (that is what my fix does), but I don't know if you want to do it with patching or redefine \endarray explicitly. Currently you redefine \endarray.

David Carlisle

@UlrikeFischer yes but I could do \tl_put_right:Nn\endarray{\CT@end} I think?

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle so modern ...

David Carlisle

3:52 PM

@UlrikeFischer of course.

@UlrikeFischer only here to look cool. naturally in the code I'd do \expandafter\def\expandafter\endarray\expandafter{\endarray\CT@end}

David Carlisle

4:16 PM

@UlrikeFischer try now

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle ^^^^

David Carlisle

@UlrikeFischer push to ctan?

Ulrike Fischer

naturally the main question is if one of the millions other tabular packages gets confused by the change in colortbl, but then you can blame me, so it should be ok.

David Carlisle

31 mins ago, by David Carlisle

@UlrikeFischer of course.

@UlrikeFischer I think it should be safe, or at least as the main change is in array.sty things that break will break with that not just with colortbl

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle yes, I think so too.

David Carlisle

4:31 PM

@UlrikeFischer what letter follows g in the alphabet?

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle ;-). But the date is correct, and not something like 3024 or 2023.

@DavidCarlisle thanks
