@Skillmon my neovide works with Inconsolata quite well (I have a script that opens a new instance per virtual desktop and, if an instance exists, adds the file to a tab... quite handy). I tried Iosevka, but that font basically kills a lot of things (lualatex, for one, and everything that has a "font" menu which becomes a "Iosevka" menu with some other font scattered inside ;-))

@DavidCarlisle thanks.

@Skillmon I have this in the config.toml of neovide and it seems to work...

Bus arriving, off line for a while...

@cfr I was thinking about why unpack() isn't listed as public

@cfr It's the same for all 'main' functions (ones that implement a target for l3build): as you can always call() them, it seemed redundant to have both the public target and a public Lua interface

@cfr But we are not going to change the names of the Lua interfaces, so I can document some or all of them

Picking off a few siunitx bugs - hopefully a fix release by Monday

@JosephWright oh no, bugs

@PauloCereda do ducks eat bugs, btw?

@Skillmon I retire the neovide thing, it seems to happily ignore any config...

But then saying set guifont=Inconsolata:h20 works from inside neovide.

@Rmano I prefer chocolate. :)

@Rmano That's one of the reasons I ditched neovide too. I was only for the cool cursor effect, but it wasn't worth it...

@Rmano wow, Inconsolata! Haven't used that font in years! Which font do you use, mr. squirrel? I use JetBrains Mono (the Nerd Font version).

@PabloGonzálezL one for you: fedoramagazine.org/anaconda-installer-redesign

@Rmano so you get the same problems? For me it didn't straight up ignore the config.toml but threw errors, iirc.

@PauloCereda Pringles?

@Rmano Or did I get errors from that because it didn't find the font? I remember that changing the font was a pain and didn't really work and I was annoyed and ditched it.

@Skillmon At the end, I put the set guifont in the init file, and it was done. There it works (using the trick of set guifont=* to see how you have to write it exactly).

@PauloCereda Inconsolata or Noto Sans Mono Condensed, depending on the computer.... will try that Jet Brains

@Skillmon ooh that too. :)

@Rmano I really enjoy JetBrains Mono, I think it's worth trying. Also Cascadia from MS. :)

@DavidCarlisle @egreg I knew someone using \imath for the imaginary unit because "that's what it is for, isn't it? Why else would it be called mathematical i?". I tried to explain that \imath is just the math version of \i but to no avail... so yes, I know of at least a couple of publications with that notation :-)

@campa they could just use 1 as it's easier to type:-)

@DavidCarlisle Yes, who cares about \dots anyways?

@mickep Oh my, I misread the sentence as who cares about \idiots :)

@campa At least it's italic shape… ;-)

@PauloCereda who cares about ducks anyways?

@DavidCarlisle oh no

@PauloCereda Oh no!

@JosephWright that was actually what I expected you to say originally. but call() isn't equivalent to calling the target directly, so documenting the latter wouldn't be redundant. or am I missing something?

@JosephWright call({sourcefiledir},"unpack") doesn't work where I need unpack() ... I thought I figured out why, but I can't now remember.

what do I need to do besides setting typesetdeps to make files from another module available during typesetting?

@PauloCereda chocolate bugs, maybe?

@cfr ooh

@Skillmon @samcarter github.com/tamton-aquib/duck.nvim

@PauloCereda The first good reason for vim I've seen so far :P

@samcarter ooh :)

@cfr Should just be that

@JosephWright what if the dependency is a font package?

@cfr WEll as you've found, we didn't allow for that :)

@cfr I guess I need to make sure that works :)

@JosephWright require{jawright}

@JosephWright probably I should add the .map to the .dtx at least ...

@JosephWright but I think it does not find the .fds etc. actually, I do not think l3build can do much here. (and I can't fix it in my .lua script because that isn't read at all.)

@JosephWright I especially need unpack() as I can't (apparently) use call() without reconfiguring things. buildinit() is just a hacked copy of checkinit(), but fails badly if call() is substituted. or I am just using it wrongly?

function buildinit ()
  cleandir(fntdir)
  -- l3build never cleans this by default?
  cleandir(localdir)
  dep_install (builddeps)
  -- is this a appropriate? better not?
  for i,j in ipairs(filelist(localdir)) do
    cp(j,localdir,fntdir)
  end
  print("Unpacking ...\n")
  -- direct usage is legitimate ...
  -- chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/66617079#66617079
  local errorlevel = unpack()
  if errorlevel ~= 0 then
    gwall("Unpacking ",module,errorlevel)
    return nifergwall

@cfr haven't really been following this but can't you call whatever lua you want (eg from the docinit_hook?

@DavidCarlisle te question was more whether I was supposed to need to do that. that is, I know l3build doesn't work out-of-the-box for a font package, but this isn't a font package. it just has a dependency on one for typesetting. maybe I should just make that vanish ....

@DavidCarlisle I guess I could avoid changing the .dtx and just manipulate the options to pdftex. and copy stuff in the doc_init() hook.

@cfr do you need a manual-install development version of the font package rather than just arrange that you pull in the texlive version in your initial tl install?

@DavidCarlisle preferably. I don't really want cfr-lm installed into texmf-dist on github.

@cfr OK, I probably shouldn't ask, but why not?

@DavidCarlisle because then I can be sure I'm not relying on installed files when I build cfr-lm. because I don't trust my code.

@PauloCereda yes, I quite like JetBrains --- but I lost about 1 hour removing the <censored> ligatures from neovide... I have to find a version of the font with the darn thing removed.

@PauloCereda Ohhh...nice :D

@DavidCarlisle A question, there are three list parameters that I know what they do but I have never used: \@beginparpenalty, \@itempenalty and \@endparpenalty...in general terms and thinking about simple document users...is it necessary to have access to these parameters?

@DavidCarlisle I ask only because enumitem provides keys for this and I may need to add it to enumext (I intend to have an update cycle close to easybook :)

...before realizing that there is a NL (meaning No Ligatures) version. GRRRRRRR

@PabloGonzálezL if you want to prevent a page break between items you might want to set @itempenalty to 10000 for examaple, but whether you shpuld want tp dp that in !simple documemts! I can't really say

@PabloGonzálezL beginparpenalty is quite useful. tex.stackexchange.com/q/2644/2388

@DavidCarlisle your keyboard got crazy ;-)

@UlrikeFischer yes I noticed that. I'll blame the keyboard

@Rmano dutch people don't like ligatures

@DavidCarlisle That is my position, and I have rarely seen those parameters in a document (yes in .sty or .cls)

@UlrikeFischer Thanks, I see your point...should it be set by levels or is it enough to place it for the first level (and not in the nested ones)?

@PabloGonzálezL but then same is true of almost all keys, it's convenient to kave a kv interface to styling the list but really in most cases you should do that in the class and use basic markup in the docuemnt

@PabloGonzálezL I rarely need that globally. Normally I used that for one list if the previous sentence count as a "list heading".

@DavidCarlisle Yes I get the point, I assume it is set to {arg two} in the list environment? (if I'm right, I don't want to read enumitem.sty again :)

@UlrikeFischer Ha, then it is enough to add the keys for the first level of the environment...although I still have a doubt about what happens with the nested levels.

@Rmano oh no

@Rmano oopsie

@PabloGonzálezL if you want to provide a replacement for enumitem - and I'm not suggesting you should, I just don't know - then people use enumitem in classes and packages and not just at the document level.

@PauloCereda sounds like a horror font.

@PauloCereda I use Fira Code, previously I was using Inconsolata as well.

@cfr oh no

@Skillmon cool!

@cfr I am by no means trying to provide a replacement for enumitem, my package is not up to that and I don't expect it to be used beyond the document level. I've only kept the enumitem key names because they are familiar to me and the behavior is almost the same...but I clearly have things that are not TeXpert friendly like removing \itemindent and using skip_horizontal as a replacement (questionable but it gets the job done)

@PabloGonzálezL well and good, then.

@PauloCereda good for Halloween, though. JetBrains Mono + halloweenmath?

@Skillmon I'm very boring. I think I'm still using sourcecodepro.

I lost a tick to an answer with a score of -2 :(.

@DavidCarlisle can I just install the development version with l3build install? that is, should I be able to?

@cfr yes but after that depending on your path setup you might need to use texlua path/to/l3build.lua as the default path will pick up the default version, @JosephWright will no doubt be able to say the recommended incantation

@DavidCarlisle thanks, though I think we're talking about different things ;).

@cfr I thought you were asking about installing a development version of l3build, but perhaps not

@DavidCarlisle I figured that out. I don't suppose I was very clear.

actually, the default path doesn't currently pick up l3build at all ;).

@DavidCarlisle I was trying to do l3build install cfr-lm but I give up.

unless @JosephWright can suggest something.

@cfr That user does astonishing decisions about ticks.

@cfr that should have installed everything under ~/texmf or whatever your equivalent is

@DavidCarlisle yes, well. I know why it doesn't but I don't know how to fix it.

@DavidCarlisle can I get the name of the current target? then I could do something different for install.

@egreg I wasn't sure why they didn't accept their own answer earlier.

that is, if that's what they were going to do.

@cfr if options["target"] == "check" .. (I think, just copied a line from l3build.lua :-)

@DavidCarlisle oh, thanks. I thought options was for option-like options. I didn't think it included the target.
