@Speravir oops. :)

@HarishKumar: I have no idea of what you guys are talking. :P

@PauloCereda The German text on the melody for “Happy Birthday" is …

Zum Geburtstag viel Glück,
zum Geburtstag viel Glück,
zum Geburtstag alles Gute,
zum Geburtstag viel Glück.

Paulo Cereda

@Speravir ooh thanks! :)

Harish Kumar

@PauloCereda It is about Paul's comment on tex.stackexchange.com/a/81792/11232

@percusse Comment added. But how @Speravir inserted comments here?

Paulo Cereda

@HarishKumar Ah I see. :)

@Speravir: Speaking of birthdays, youtube.com/watch?v=oiWP_DsDyqM :)

Harish Kumar

@Speravir How did you insert comments here in chat? I don't see any tool in my browser.

Paulo Cereda

11:06 PM

@HarishKumar If you click in the date of the comment, you'll get a link. Then just paste it here, in a line of its own. :)

Speravir

@HarishKumar Copy comment link (hidden under the time string) and copy this link in a message of its own. You can try out in the chat sandbox: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1/sandbox

percusse

@HarishKumar Write some stuff and then press Ctrl+K then send it

Harish Kumar

@PaulGaborit The thing is so complex and I have trouble understanding your comment/objection :-) Can you shed some more light on it? You may feel free to edit the answer itself, if you feel appropriate. I appreciate your effort. Thanks. — Harish Kumar 4 mins ago

Paulo Cereda

Voilà! :)

Harish Kumar

Yay. It has come. Thanks guys, learnt a new thing now.

@PauloCereda In the TeXtalk with Peter grill in the part “\begin{interruptinterview} … \end{interruptinterview}” the link to Vimeo is broken.

Gnintendo

ugh is there no easy way to do a checklist in LaTeX?

Paulo Cereda

@Speravir Thanks, fixed. :)

percusse

@Speravir @PauloCereda Hear hear!!!

I thought you would parse those commands!!!!

:D

Paulo Cereda

@percusse <3

egreg

@PauloCereda During a presentation the speaker had a slide where a long text appeared letter by letter: very annoying. But the most annoying part was when she had to go back one slide and so, when advancing again, she inflicted the long text, letter by letter, another time. :(

Paulo Cereda

11:15 PM

@HarishKumar: did you see the new arara manual cover? :) i.stack.imgur.com/ExE0K.png I just got Brent's email wrong. :)

tohecz

@PauloCereda You have two middle names?

percusse

@tohecz They are emacs shortcuts

Paulo Cereda

@egreg OMG, it would give me shivers. :) I hope the animation didn't have the "typewriter" sound. :)

@tohecz It's one middle name and two surnames. :)

egreg

@PauloCereda Of course it had!

percusse

@tohecz Paulo -r -m Cereda probably formats your hard drive in MS-DOS.

Paulo Cereda

11:17 PM

@egreg Oh no!

@percusse LOL I'm gonna sign my name that way now. :P

tohecz

@PauloCereda Sooooo complicated!

Paulo Cereda

@tohecz I know. :)

tohecz

@PauloCereda alias Paulo=``sudo` `

Paulo Cereda

The whole set: Paulo (name) Roberto (middle name) Massa (mom's surname) Cereda (dad's surname). :)

tohecz

@PauloCereda I know that Russians have a middle name by their father

Gnintendo

11:21 PM

what package provides the \cxset command?

Paulo Cereda

@tohecz In my region, I think it's common to have compound names.

tohecz

@PauloCereda in my region, it's common to have just given name and surname ;)

Paulo Cereda

@tohecz :)

Pedro I of Brazil

Dom Pedro I (English: Peter I; 12 October 1798 – 24 September 1834), nicknamed "the Liberator", was the founder and first ruler of the Empire of Brazil. As King Dom Pedro IV, he reigned briefly over Portugal, where he also became known as "the Liberator" as well as "the Soldier King". Born in Lisbon, Pedro I was the fourth child of King Dom João VI of Portugal and Queen Carlota Joaquina, and thus a member of the House of Braganza. When their country was invaded by French troops in 1807, he and his family fled to Portugal's largest and wealthiest colony, Braz...

See his full name. :D

Harish Kumar

@PauloCereda Excellent cover. May I see the source of it if you don't mind pl? But why no color :-(

percusse

@Gnintendo Did you find it in one of Yiannis' answers?

Gnintendo

11:24 PM

Paulo Cereda

@HarishKumar I'll send it to you. :) Actually, the logo has a new colour, but we didn't decide which one will be. :)

percusse

@Gnintendo I should take a course from you on emoticons. All I see is traffic signs for a sharp turn :)

Harish Kumar

@percusse I will be with you in that course. I hardly understand these things :-)

Paulo Cereda

@HarishKumar :) Out of curiosity, do you have a Trello account? (@percusse, you too)

Harish Kumar

@PauloCereda What is Trello?

And Nope.

Paulo Cereda

@HarishKumar :) It's a free online project management platform. :) trello.com

Harish Kumar

Paulo Cereda

@HarishKumar It is interesting. :)

We have arara set there.

Gnintendo

Yiannis Lazarides doesn't have any CTAN packages, does he...?

Paulo Cereda

Currently, we have Brent, Marco, Joseph and me added to the project.

percusse

@Gnintendo Nope it's work in progress

Paulo Cereda

11:30 PM

@Gnintendo Speaking of Yiannis, I miss him. :(

percusse

But I'm dying to see it

Paulo Cereda

@YiannisLazarides: Come back, we miss you!

Gnintendo

@percusse Oh, he mentioned upping something to CTAN in a couple months....over a year ago

percusse

@Gnintendo Don't know anything about it.

egreg

@PauloCereda His profile page says "Seen 8 hours ago"

Paulo Cereda

11:33 PM

@egreg Oh, maybe he's busy.

Harish Kumar

@PauloCereda Then I will try it today.

Paulo Cereda

@HarishKumar Don't feel obliged. :) I just asked, so I could add you to the project team. :)

egreg

@PauloCereda That's very possible.

Gnintendo

how do I set image height to current text height?

Harish Kumar

@PauloCereda Not at all. If it is good, I will use it (which is good for me too :-)

egreg

11:41 PM

@Gnintendo height=\textheight

Gnintendo

@egreg The height of just one line

Harish Kumar

@PauloCereda E-mail replied :-)

Gnintendo

like, so it fits right in with the text

Paulo Cereda

@HarishKumar OK. :) When you register, just tell me your username so I can add you to the arara guys. :)

Harish Kumar

@PauloCereda Sure. I will mail you.

egreg

11:44 PM

@Gnintendo It depends; but [height=\fontcharht\font`A] should make it as high as an uppercase A.

Gnintendo

Thanks

egreg

@Gnintendo Does it really work? :)

Gnintendo

Yes

lol

Harish Kumar

@Speravir I added your comment in the answer. Hope you don't mind. :-)

Gnintendo

@egreg grab.by/hmkw

egreg

11:46 PM

@Gnintendo Hey! It works! :)

Speravir

@HarishKumar Nope.

Harish Kumar

@PauloCereda I signed up at trello. How do I connect to you now?

percusse

@PauloCereda I'm honored!

Paulo Cereda

@HarishKumar Just tell me your trello username. :)

@percusse Yay! :)

Harish Kumar
