@DavidCarlisle In your answer for highlighting code of diff files do you also have a solution for the first line with these 2 @? tex.stackexchange.com/a/106059
Background
Many packages provide commands that have the full name of the package, or an abbreviation, as part of the command name. Sometimes the package name (or abbreviation) is at the beginning of the command name, and sometimes it is later. For example, many packages provide a settings macr...
I get this float saying do you want to talk to an expert? advisa.stackexchange... and it has a box with a funny looking woman, if you say yes. I though David was going to pop up:)
@DavidCarlisle Copy&paste of your answer, adding \definecolor{color@diff}{rgb}{.5,.5,.5} I get “Undefined color color\diff". Using the environament verbatim results in 36 errors.
@DavidCarlisle No, I do not need to ask. I suspected myself the error was me. Perhaps update your answer and add a short note, that everything without these 3 special characters must be indented by at least one space?
@Speravir well that's diff format, so it should just be true if I wasn't keeping the code short for demonstration purposes I'd not just call colorbox directly but check if the colour was defined first and use white of not then your \ example would have worked and similar other diff formats eg diff -c which uses ! on the first column would be accepted (just not coloured)
I am the psychotherapist. Please, describe your problems. Each time
you are finished talking, type RET twice.
Should I wait up for the tex.sx expert to appear?
Why do you say that?
Because it is still March here.
What makes you believe
because it is still march there?
Windows Calendar would not lie
Maybe your life has something to do with this.
I thought we were talking about tex.sx
Is it because of your plans that you say
i thought you were talking about tex sx?
no
Can you elaborate on that?
anyone know of a package that allows 2-colum floats on the current page? I'm sure I remember one but don't see anything in my texlive setup) (or perhaps it was l3 experiments)
@Speravir I talked with @PeterGrill about a small TikZ library/package I was thinking of creating that resolves around often asked things like special orthogonal lines in
The following answer consists of
the qrr-tikz-udlr.sty package file, and
a sample code with two TikZ pictures.
Save the qrr-tikz-udlr.sty file as it is and place it either in your local texmf tree or in the same folder as your main .tex file.
The “package” provides
the path operators ud, r...
The correct question would be: "Is there a package or TikZ library that provides often used orthogonal paths." ;)
With the width-option overwriting the other column should not happen (I tested it just now and it does not). You are right, that the page off run could happen, of course. One has to correct this by moving the macro \includegraphics. Better this way instead saying there is no floating way?
@Kurt oh sorry mis read your comment. But OP doesn't want width=\columnwidth wants width=\textwidth column width floats are not a problem, they can float to top of current col
Well, I'm not sure that I understand the long question quite right. For me it seems there is no solution (as I know) with floating ... But I must not be right ...
@DavidCarlisle I’m just teasing. ;) Having read the question now, I think the FAQ about floats by Martin (I think), would explain that. The two-column-full-width floats had a few disadvantages.
@DavidCarlisle It is mistranslated. (There is no word "Brechfest" in the German language.) Brechen (although having the same meaning like "to break") is colloquial for "to vomit" and "fest" = "festival" (like in Oktoberfest).
FYI ... the test builds of the sources for TL'13 are going well enough.
I'm expecting to shut down TL'12 updates for good in about a week.
It'll take at least a few days after that to set up the pretest.
After that will be a goodly period of dealing with whatever bugs are
reported (I expect plenty) and updating the documentation.
I wrote some draft dates on the tug.org/texlive home page, but don't
take them seriously. It'll take however long it takes, as always.
More announcements as the time comes.
