12:00 AM
@Karl'sstudents hi there!
and hello to everyone else too :)
 
@cmhughes Hi sir!
 
@Karl'sstudents do you have some favourite PSTricks code that I could demonstrate in the manual for my indentation script? :) something that has split braces and brackets would be great
 
@Karl'sstudents No. Don't use \tag for doing alignments.
Good night all.
 
@cmhughes I think there is some code in the pstricks-add manual about braces (but not split ones). And I think PSTricks is better for a standalone diagramming than for inline decoration in the input file that will be compiled with pdflatex.
 
@Karl'sstudents yes indeed- I don't want the output, I only want the input
 
12:06 AM
@egreg Good night...
 
@Karl'sstudents Hi there busy guy
 
@texenthusiast Hi... :D
 
@Karl'sstudents do you mind if I use your answer to tex.stackexchange.com/questions/103863/isometric-elevation-grid-in-tikz/ ?
 
@Karl'sstudents did you use any time pst-so­larsys­tem ?
 
@texenthusiast I have not explored it yet.
 
12:14 AM
@Karl'sstudents i thought you would answer this Q , i tried with tikz but i had no clear idea what OP wants.
 
@texenthusiast Herbert should answer this because he is very familiar with it. I am familiar only with the basic PSTricks.
 
@Karl'sstudents cool thanks- here's a before and after picture:
 
@Karl'sstudents i hope you are not looking for a QTikz like editor for your work
 
@cmhughes It is a nice script. You are making a new Visual Studio for LaTeX. :-)
 
@Karl'sstudents thanks :) hope it doesn't break anything : O
 
12:21 AM
@cmhughes Will you make the script to reformat not-formatted code to formatted one when we paste the not-formatted code into the editor? (Visual Studio does it well)
 
@Karl'sstudents it will reformat any .tex file you give it, formatted or not. you can tell it not to format certain blocks of code too
 
@cmhughes It will append % to the end of line (ending without control words) automatically?
 
@Karl'sstudents it shouldn't make any changes to lines other than adding or removing spaces/tabs, so I guess the answer to that one is 'no' :)
 
@cmhughes I thought it will convert the following
\psset{ plotpoints=\PlotPoints, algebraic,}
to
\psset
{
	plotpoints=\PlotPoints,
	algebraic,
}
Like Visual Studio does.
 
@Karl'sstudents ah no, it isn't that clever :(
 
12:27 AM
@cmhughes :-)
 
mainly because I'm not that clever :)
 
If we can hack Visual Studio as a LaTeX editor, writing TeX code will be fun!
@texenthusiast I have not tried QTikZ yet as well.
Rather than pressing leave button and reenter again later, it should be easier if i just say "I am far from keyboard now...".
 
@HarishKumar you can run asymptote from .tex once you have \usepackage{asymptote} in preamble and environment \begin{asy} ...\end{asy}. I have started from TeX.SX Q's.
@Karl'sstudents ok. are you interested in using pstricks editors ?
 
@texenthusiast I am interested in using TeX (PSTricks inclusively) editor.
 
@Karl'sstudents ok great
 
12:53 AM
@Karl'sstudents Bye take care
 
@texenthusiast Bye :D
 
1:52 AM
should the letter class be indenting?
 
2:33 AM
@Kurt Kurt, since you made an edit to tex.stackexchange.com/a/66005/9237: The links are unfortunately dead. I think the new ones are babs.gmxhome.de/da_ergeb.htm and babs.gmxhome.de/da_pdftex/accessibility.sty.
 
Hey
What is going on with that ask and expert thing?
Is it an April Fools things or is it actually a person? o.0
 
What do you think about this question? Placing the own homepage in the question is wished?

Q: Stylish Class to write a Book in LaTeX?

Ashish RevarI want to write a book in LaTeX, but not in the conventional way. I want some good fonts and better page layout. Below link is the example of it, what I want. http://www.intechopen.com/books/advances-in-biomaterials-science-and-biomedical-applications If anyone can suggest me the similar kind of...

 
@Kurt The last two links are clearly spam.
 
@Canageek Aprils fools. I (in Europe) do not get it anymore.
@Kurt It’s depreciated. But must search for according meta question.
@Kurt I left a comment.
 
2:50 AM
@Speravir Der erste Link von Dir geht, der zweite nicht. Ich glaube, sie will downloads verhindern, die falsche Angabe hatten wir schon einmal ...
 
@Kurt Upps, hatte die Links nur kopiert. Gib doch nur den ersten und sage, dass die Paketdatei von dort herunterladbar ist.
 
@Speravir Das Problem gab es schon einmal; ich werde Ihr eine Mail schicken. Oder sie will nicht so viele Downloads haben. Evtl. kann man das Teil ja auch auf CTAN oder Dante legen ...
@Speravir @Qrrbrbirlbel I deleted name and urls and left a comment.
@speravir findest Du eine E-Mail-Adresse auf der Seite? Ich habe keine gefunden, auch kein Kontaktformular ....
 
@Kurt Nein, auch nicht, aber muss ’ne GMX-Adresse sein. BTW also the link to documentation does not work.
 
3:14 AM
I remember that this User ashishrevar has already posted his "data"s. Seem he want to use this site for "public relations"? What do you thing? Flagging or waiting here for moderator?
 
@Kurt Ernsthaft: Technical contact von 1&1 anschreiben (oder, falls erfolgreich, antelefonieren):
 
@Speravir Is the update for a portable miktex always so long? I can't beleve! Two hours now! That is too slow!
 
@Kurt Depends on how long ago you made the last update before, and on connection to selected mirror. But 2 hours sounds too long to me, too.
 
@Speravir perhaps it is more a speed problem with usb or usb stick ...
 
@Kurt I thought I remembered the name from somewhere …
 
3:23 AM
@Speravir the broken links are bad, and having no email on the site too.
 
@Kurt Mist, ich sehe gerade, dass die E-Mail-Adrese nicht mitkopiert wurde (was ja eigentlich gut ist). Hoffentlich funktioniert der Link hier: whois.domaintools.com/gmxhome.de
 
Though, it shows up in the First Posts Review section.
 
@Kurt Oh, yes, of course.
 
@Qrrbrbirlbel As I remember it was a question containing a picture with a similar do-it-for-me-question with much "public relations". It seems to be deleted, in the history you find no other question/answer.
 
@Kurt Seems about right. Or he just made a new account with the same name.
@Kurt @Speravir Über was diskutiert ihr da eigentlich gerade?
 
3:29 AM
@Speravir Updating portable MikTeX is a pain. I knew why I do not use it ... I prefer the complete one ...
 
@Qrrbrbirlbel tex.stackexchange.com/a/66005/9237 Probier mal ein paar Links auf der verlinkten Seite …
 
@Qrrbrbirlbel Right, didn't thought that it could be a new account. The moderators can see that?
 
@Kurt Well it showed up in the "First Post" section. But eitherway, you can check the Join Date on their profile page.
 
@Kurt I have a portable MiKTeX with full installation here …
 
@Kurt The user joined 2013-03-26.
 
3:33 AM
Bye, guys …
 
@Speravir Time to update? How much GB? USB 3.0?
@Speravir Bye
 
@Speravir @Kurt Ah, ich erinnere mich, das mal gelesen zu haben. Nicht mehr verfügbar?
 
@Qrrbrbirlbel Anscheinend wurde die Seite umgezogen, ohne die schon auf der alten Seite fehlerhaften Links zu korrigieren ...
 
@Kurt Das Dokument wird auf linux-community.de/Internal/Artikel/Print-Artikel/LinuxUser/… unter Referenz [22] genannt.
Außerdem auf der Homepage der TUD unter inf.tu-dresden.de/index.php?ln=en&node_id=975
Ich muss morgen sowie aufn Campus, soll ich mal vorbei gucken? ;)
@Kurt Hast du schon in Googles Cache geguckt?
 
Ah, wußte ich noch nicht. Mal ansehen ...(das mit Referenz 22)
@Qrrbrbirlbel Echt, wenn Du da bist. Mach mal. Wäre klasse!
@Qrrbrbirlbel Nein, hast Du? Grundsätzlich finde ich es ungeschickt, wenn Links auf der eigenen Seite nicht funktionieren und nicht einmal beim Umzug getestet werden. Aber wer weiß, vielleicht ist es ihr nicht mehr wichtig? CTAN/Dante/TU-Dresden mit downloadbarer pdf und sty-Datei wäre imh sinnvoll.
@Qrrbrbirlbel I think we should talk here in English? I will leave now. Bye.
 
4:37 AM
@Speravir Instead of closing, I'd suggest reformulating the question so that it asks in general how to get this kind of layout. That would be interesting and more widely applicable I think.

@DavidCarlisle That would be me
@DavidCarlisle Need to discuss with @PauloCereda if he's happy for the Lua code to go into the .dtx
 
10:17 AM
@JosephWright are you updating doc.sty to auto index lua:-) ?
 
10:30 AM
ooh messages!
@JosephWright I'm OK. :) I just need some crash course on how to write the documentation for it. :)
@DavidCarlisle Joseph wrote an awesome implementation. :)
 
@PauloCereda I'll be doing the .dtx stuff, at least initially
AS @DavidCarlisle says, we don't have indexing for Lua just yet :-)
 
@JosephWright Thanks. I just need to understand how it works. :)
@JosephWright @David could be the official Lua-L3 spokesman. :)
Back in a few hours. Cheerio! :)
 
Very nice indeed! bidi has been removed from TeX Live by author's request, together with all the other packages by the same author.
 
@egreg oops has it gone from ctan as well?
 
@DavidCarlisle Checking
@DavidCarlisle Not yet. But the GitHub repository has vanished.
 
10:41 AM
@egreg I just went via the ctan catalog and got The re­quested URL /tex-archive/macros/la­tex/con­trib/bidi was not found on this server.
 
@egreg That's been coming for a while, I suspect
 
@egreg It was LPPL though so it could be forked and re-submitted....
 
@DavidCarlisle If it's not 'author-maintained' then you don't even need to fork
 
@JosephWright it was

@DavidCarlisle Ah, right
I think if I were updating the LPPL I'd remove the 'author-maintained' part :-)
 
10:45 AM
@JosephWright in the beginning, it wasn't there, and LPPL was much simpler but....
 
@DavidCarlisle Yes, I know
 
The list of removed packages is: persian-modern, bidi, crbox, ghab, macqassign, mpgraphics, roundbox, tram, imsproc, xepersian
 
@egreg Expect questions
@egreg I've had an e-mail from him about bidi support in L3
 
11:04 AM
@JosephWright Not that I'm really interested in bidirectional typesetting. But this is really a bad joke on the users. I've made backups of the packages.
 
11:27 AM
@egreg I'm interested mainly for the same reasons: I need to worry about bidi stuff for LaTeX3 at a 'base' layer
 
11:55 AM
@egreg @JosephWright just read the current version of lppl again and it seems that the files could be resubmitted under their original names as long as the original sources are also submitted and the used files all remove the original contact details and use a licence of LPPL "unmaintained". Removing from ctan used to just eventually affect new sites but removing from TL means people are going to get this removed from their system as soon as they update which is pretty bad really.
 
@DavidCarlisle I know one can work around things (otherwise the LPPL would not count as a 'free' license): we had to come up with some similar thing for biblatex
 
@DavidCarlisle :-)
 
12:38 PM
@DavidCarlisle That's one package that should be removed. ;-)
 
@egreg Just wait until the syntax changes :-)
 
@Herbert Exactly, though @Karl'sstudents will want to know this. :)
 
12:55 PM
@Qrrbrbirlbel @Karl'sstudents or even better just define \f to have a normal argument instead of () delimited then you can use \psplot{0}{4}{\f{x+0.5}}
 
1:24 PM
Might be out of place, i'm pretty new to LaTex and im using LyX. Does anyone know where the files are exported by default?
 
1:34 PM
@Sidar Same folder where the .lyx-file is saved, I think.
 
well some files are exported there
odt however isnt eventhough its successfuly exported
 
@Sidar Hm, here the odt ends up in the same folder.
 
@Qrrbrbirlbel Hey there, have you seen my comment?
 
@Alenanno Hi, yes, I have. Though I haven’t had enough time yet to respond properly. Will do this evening.
 
@Qrrbrbirlbel No worries! Take your time. :)
What does your nickname mean by the way?
 
1:45 PM
@Alenanno It even has an own Urban Dictionary article: urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Qrrbrbirlbel
 
Ah seriously? goes to check
Ahah nice
 
@TorbjørnT. I guess something is bugging out on my end then
 
2:24 PM
bidi situation generating lots of noise on the mailing lists
 
@JosephWright which ones I looked this morning at the tex-live list to see if the request to remove was there but didn't see anything
@JosephWright Oh I see some thread on TL now.
 
@DavidCarlisle Also MacTeX list
 
@DavidCarlisle The author apologizes: tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2013-April/033122.html (but doesn't explain the reasons, which are in my opinion rather obvious).
This after realizing that anybody could take over his packages
 
@egreg I think you mean 'anyone', not 'everyone' (you never know, of course)
For me, emphasises the need to get proper bidi support in expl3, etc., as once it's there it's not going anywhere
 
2:54 PM
@JosephWright I think TL should just have refused the remove request and distributed the packages unmodified
2.  You may distribute a complete, unmodified copy of the Work as you
received it.  Distribution of only part of the Work is considered
modification of the Work, and no right to distribute such a Derived
Work may be assumed under the terms of this clause.
 
@DavidCarlisle They follow CTAN for packages, basically: see current discussion on the list
As Norbert points out, removal is almost always for a good reason: this case is unusual
 
@JosephWright well ctan could have done the same
 
@DavidCarlisle No, that would not be their approach, in the same way they don't add stuff to the archive unless it is submitted to them
 
@JosephWright yes Ok well I guess someone has to stand up and re-submit it then.... (let's see what VK says he's going to do....)
 
@DavidCarlisle You can always do it ...
 
2:57 PM
@JosephWright I might
 
@DavidCarlisle That's the route to much package maintenance, you know
 
@JosephWright shrug I have experience of dodging bug reports (actually submitting it as a derived work explicitly LPPL unmaintained would probably be best)
 
@JosephWright Hello, could you, please, delete chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/8776960#8776960?
 
@Speravir Done
@DavidCarlisle Possibly, although then you've got to get CTAN to take it
@DavidCarlisle But you probably know the team better than I do, so might succeed where I'd fail
 
@JosephWright I could say please to Robin and Rainer
 
3:04 PM
@DavidCarlisle :-)
 
@JosephWright Oh sh*t, and sorry, wrong link given. I meant chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/8776966#8776966
 
@Speravir Also gone
 
@JosephWright Yepp, saw it (almost?) real-time. Twice thanks.
@Kurt No, only on hard drive. I installed it just for testing purposes – for answering here in TeX.SX. ;-)
@StephanLehmke I read your comment and upvoted this, but in my eyes it would be better asked as new question.
 
3:27 PM
@Alenanno: @Qrrbrbirlbel once provided a link to this strange cartoon movie: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/41?m=6662656#6662656

Q: Is it possible to use tabularx inside a longtable environment?

Mario S. E.Is it possible to use tabularx inside a longtable environment? If not, is there any way I can get the "X" funcionality of tabularx with the option of long tables ---In order for me to be able to break them in two pages? Using longtabu is not an option, as stated by @jon here: I would recom...

 
@Qrrbrbirlbel It has been applied to my problem.
 
@Speravir oh thanks for the link
 
@AlanMunn disgraceful
 
@AlanMunn The linked discuss between the author and @egreg are very interesting. However as a user of tabu I am really disappointed by the author. Based on this post I can't recommend tabu again.
 
3:42 PM
@MarcoDaniel Quite
 
Hello everybody!
 
@KannappanSampath Hello
 
I have been away for a couple of days! On a trip to Kerala!
 
@KannappanSampath Nice
 
Meanwhile, in the TeX world, something is wrong with bidi package maint...
 
3:49 PM
@MarcoDaniel I tried to make him reconsider (1) the non standard syntax \begin{tabu} to <dimen>; (2) the inversion of the processing of >{...} and <{...} tokens; (3) avoiding backwards incompatible changes; (4) the typesetting (?) of the manual. None of my suggestions has been taken into consideration (but the new version with the incompatible changes still is in the author's dreams, apparently).
 
@KannappanSampath Well that's unfortunately par for the course. Vafa has done some great work, but now wants to get paid, I think.
 
@KannappanSampath According to a message by Vafa Khaligi in the texlive mailing list, there are hopes for the package to return.
 
@AlanMunn I am not sure how I'd react! My feeling is very few people will buy a LaTeX package, but, I cannot be sure.
@egreg I am not sure what his explanation for removal was in the first place.
 
@KannappanSampath Not only that: forcing users to buy a package is, to say the least, disputable.
 
@egreg The author really likes raw TeX syntax
 
3:53 PM
@KannappanSampath There was no explanation. VK says he explained his reasons to the CTAN maintainers and he would answer private mails about it.
 
@egreg We can guess, though
 
@JosephWright The fact that the reasons are not made public is by itself revealing, I think.
 
@egreg Certainly
 
@JosephWright But next to this reason I can't understand the statement "I'm not paid for that". Ok this is his opinion but providing no back incompatibility from the current version "2.8 release" to 2.9 is ... There are no words like "alpha" or "testing phase" or ... in the current documentation.
 
@JosephWright In any case, rather than to a commercial package, I'd think to charged support, just like RedHat or similar enterprises.
 
3:57 PM
@egreg Quiet
 
@egreg Worth a shot, at least
 
Well, I should be more active on TeX.SX I believe!
I am at a very low rep. :(
 
4:36 PM
@Alenanno I have updated my answer with a level style. Though, the whole macro could be more pgfkey-ed.
 
For an easy payment of US$ 9,99, you can get access to the arara Professional Version! :)
I leave for 4 hours and when I come back, bidi is gone.
I open my email, eleven hundred emails in the mailing lists. Oh joy.
 
@PauloCereda see all the problems people get into if they start with vim instead of emacs?

Q: Which TeX should one start out with?

CyberOPSEver since learning Vim, I've felt slow going in anything else. Lately I've been writing my notes and other small documents in Markdown using Vim. I've decided to to take it a step further by learning a TeX formatting language. I've read that ConTeXt is more "Batteries Included", with a consis...

 
@egreg I once started using tabu without knowing all these issues, and that was also my intent for adding some words to the discussion with Florent. To point 2 I would be interested in some more background. @DavidCarlisle wrote about this, too, some weeks (?) ago here. So what is inversed there? I could also ask a question, if think, this would be better … but I actually do not know, how to ask this in a right way.
 
@Speravir in array if you go >{1}>{2}c<{3}<{4} then you get 2 1 cell-content 4 3 in tabu the same syntax gives you 1 2 cell-content 3 4
 
@DavidCarlisle LOL the starting sentence is a bit depressing. :P
 
4:47 PM
@Speravir Even if the tabu version was better (it isn't) keeping the syntax but changing the meaning is just wrong.
@PauloCereda depressing? it cheered me up greatly.
 
@DavidCarlisle Aah, thanks.
 
@DavidCarlisle You are mean. <3
 
@DavidCarlisle Yes, full ack.
 
@PauloCereda Not to real people, only to vim users, who don't really count.
 
@DavidCarlisle I wonder what will happen if M opts for vim in the near future. :)
 
4:49 PM
@Speravir Adding to @DavidCarlisle explanation, one wants this order because in the tabular preamble one may add a >{...} bit to a new column type that already has one: so if the column type C is defined as >{1}c, one expects that >{2}C produces 12 and then the cell entry. With tabu one gets the opposite.
 
@egreg Thank you as well.
 
Converting SpongeBob episodes to .webm - there's definitely something very wrong with me. :)

myself to carry on,)

Q: conflict between gb4e and my university style sheet

ToddAOI am a Linguistics PhD student at U.Florida, writing my dissertation. The LaTeX class from our editorial office conflicts with gb4e (among other packages). Is there a way to override the style sheet temporarily in order to use gb4e? The template can be downloaded from http://helpdesk.ufl.edu/wp-...

I suspect that it would be easier to start over.
 
@egreg You must definitely include this pearl in your Horrors list. :)
@AlanMunn Go Florida!
 
@AlanMunn Is it University of Florida in Florida or somewhere else? :)
 
@Qrrbrbirlbel Thanks. Everything works. Apparently my code broke elsewhere (it's shifting those nodes along the X axis)... I'll be accepting your answer though. Thanks again.
 
@egreg :) Yes, it's not in Ohio.
 
@AlanMunn Oh. :(
The three musketeers were four and no one complained about. :)
 
5:04 PM
@Alenanno Yeah, the xshift and yshift keys are dependent of the rotation. Little bit tricky there.
 
(To the purists, I know D'Artagnan was not an official musketeer at that time, just an aspirant) :P
 
@Qrrbrbirlbel In your answer they fit correctly though. There must be some option interfering...
 
@PauloCereda the lego gets melted
 
@PauloCereda Similar to what I say to my students (for elementary school teaching): "The four operations are two: addition".

@AlanMunn @AlanMunn OMG!!! That bundle is wonderful!
 
@Qrrbrbirlbel Ah ok I fixed it. It was the data/.style the problem. :)
 
5:09 PM
@egreg Epic! :)
 
@egreg I'm usually willing to delve into these sorts of problems, but this is such a mess I really don't have the stomach for it.
 
@AlanMunn They surely took inspiration from Manuzio and Didot when choosing Helvetica double spaced for the main style.
 
@egreg Yes, the resulting output is even more hideous than the code that produces it.
 
@AlanMunn Hideous is not the right word: repellent?
 
@egreg And this is from a university that pays its football coach $2.8 million a year and it's basketball coach over $3.3 million. You'd think they could afford a better thesis style.
Of course my own university pays its basketball coach $3.4 million a year.
 
5:25 PM
@Alenanno Yes, I have changed the styles a bit. Sorry. ;)
 
Ah nevermind! Actually I noticed little change and it looks good anyways. :)

@egreg Regarding your answer to tex.stackexchange.com/q/106572/3954 Why non't simply do something like this:

@GonzaloMedina seeting \leftskip in latex is always wrong and setting it inside a list (which theorems are) is not only wrong it doesn't work:-) latex lists are set with \parshape with some clever code to re-assert the shape every paragraph so setting the primitive tex paragraph settings leads to pain
 
8:02 PM
@MarcoDaniel +1 for answering the question but the OP asked the wrong question so I gave a different answer as well as upvoting yours:-)
@PauloCereda it's only a game
 
@DavidCarlisle I had money on that. :P
 
@PauloCereda good

@DavidCarlisle “With some clever code” is always a good explanation. :)
 
Hey guys
Does anyone know how ligatures are stored in the PDF?
 
@Qrrbrbirlbel apart from perhaps float placement it is the most devious part of latex, had to read it several times before I understood what it was doing.
@Canageek well they are not really, by that time they are just characters from the font same as any other (except modern pdf you can tag the thing so that searching on the original string works)
 
@DavidCarlisle :D That is what I wanted to hear. I'll make a question

@GonzaloMedina I explained why in the answer: using \leftskip will not work well with lists in the statement, because theorems are realized with trivlist.
 
8:50 PM
@egreg: bad result for us. :(
 
@egreg Shame it uses \trivlist rather than list so you couldn't just set \leftmargin though:-)
 
@Speravir regarding the enotez question: I did notice it but there seems not really something more to say other than »update the package« and otherwise wait for a MWE that really shows what the issue is, don't you think?
 
@cgnieder See my very recent edit of my answer. Perhaps this could be considered as feature request for enotez, but maybe, I missed something, too?
 
9:07 PM
@Speravir No, you're right that there is no \endnotemark in enotez. But if the task is only to get a consistent superscript with a manually added number it is easy: \def\endnotemark#1{\enotezwritemark{\enmarkstyle#1}}
 
@cgnieder But how pointing more than once to the same endnote(text)?
 
@Speravir Do you mean with a hyperlink? Otherwise I don't understand... with the above definition: \endnote[foo]{bar} foobar\endnotemark{foo}
 
9:22 PM
@cgnieder Aha. Please add this on a package update to documentation exactly at the passage “Since this functionality seemed making a pair \endnotemark/\endnotetext superfluous …”.
 
@PauloCereda :( They were stronger. No discussion.
@DavidCarlisle \patchcmd is my friend. :)
 
@Speravir I just checked: I didn't really document \enotezwritemark... I'll add something
 
@cgnieder And \enmarkstyle is only descibed in Options section, but maybe, what is written there, is enough.
 
@Speravir I'll add an example to make it clear
 
@egreg very tikz answer from you.. (I just gave up in despair at \vspace\begin)
 
9:34 PM
@Speravir hmmph: there's an error in the documentation, too: mark-format's default is not R...
 
@cgnieder Oh, yes.
@cgnieder What is the name of the endnote counter in enotez?
 
@DavidCarlisle That should really be NARQ.
 
9:54 PM
@egreg yes I suppose it comes in handy if you can't think of an excuse to include \ooalign
 
@DavidCarlisle Or \noalign for you. ;-)
@Speravir \g__enotez_endnote_id_int, I guess from the name.
 
@cgnieder Same problem later in section 5, option “split-sectioning”.
@egreg Oops, and this I must use in \stepcounter? See this, where I intended to add this:
    \documentclass{scrartcl}
    \usepackage{enotez}
    \def\endnotemark#1{\enotezwritemark{\enmarkstyle#1}}

    \title{Concepts}
    \author{Lala\endnote[1]{Institute ABC}, Lilo\endnote{Institute A\&O},
            Lolita\endnotemark{1}, Lulu\endnote{Institute XYZ}}

    \begin{document}
    \maketitle
    \printendnotes
    \end{document}
 
@Speravir No, you can't use \stepcounter with this one.
 
@Speravir It's \g__enotez_endnote_mark_int and is increased with \int_gincr:N \g__enotez_endnote_mark_int.
 
@egreg In the example we want for Lilo number 2 and for Lulu number 3. I do not know now, how to achieve this without manually adding for all a number.
@cgnieder This is Voodoo for me.
 
10:09 PM
enclosed with \ExplSyntaxOn and \ExplSyntaxOff... only looks strange if you're unfamiliar with the expl3 syntax :)
Anyway, I need to go to sleep now, good night
 
@cgnieder It was only to enhance my answer. Do you want to add an own one instead? Or edit mine, if you don’t mind.
@cgnieder Good night.
 
10:23 PM
@cgnieder Have an own solution …
 
@Speravir The obvious
\author{Lala\endnote{Institute ABC}, Lilo\endnote{Institute A\&O},
        Lolita\endnotemark{1}, Lulu\endnote{Institute XYZ}}
does what you want.
 
@egreg OMG, you are right! And I searched sooo long and had just found out a solution … (One you would have found in seconds, I guess.)
 
Before StackExchange added chat system to the main site: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/66618/listplot-and-postscript/…
 
Hey guys, how do I import a table from excel in a decent way (good format) ?
goodbye :/
 
@Speravir And if you don't want to keep track of the number, here's how you can do with \label and \ref
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{enotez}%,refcount}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\NewDocumentCommand{\elabel}{m}
 {
  \cs_set:cpx { @currentlabel } { \int_to_arabic:n { \g__enotez_endnote_mark_int } }
  \label{#1}
 }
\ExplSyntaxOff
\def\endnotemark#1{%
  \enotezwritemark{\enmarkstyle#1}}

\title{Concepts}
\author{Lala\endnote{Institute ABC}\elabel{lala}, Lilo\endnote{Institute A\&O},
        Lolita\endnotemark{\ref{lala}}, Lulu\endnote{Institute XYZ}}

Q: Omega, varpi or 'double upsilon' greek symbol?

egor7How to produce symbol like this: Is this a special form of \varpi, 'double upsilon' or omega?

For a minute, I thought I read \vampir. :)
\usepackage{garlic}
 
@PeterGrill vvvv
The cat program is a standard Unix utility that concatenates and lists files. The name is an abbreviation of catenate, a synonym of concatenate. Specification The Single Unix Specification specifies the behavior that the contents of each of the files given in sequence as arguments is written to the standard output in the same sequence. It mandates the support of one option flag, u (unbuffered), by which each byte is written to standard output without buffering as it is read. Many operating systems do this by default and ignore the flag. If one of the input filenames is specified as a...
 
meow.
 
@PauloCereda it didn't box the bit I wanted :(
 
@cgnieder I believe that \endnote should set \@currentlabel for usage with \label and \ref
 
@egreg This is, of course, much better! THX.
 
10:48 PM
@DavidCarlisle Huh? Is there some there that makes my problem trivial?
your solution seems to work great. Thanks.
 
@PeterGrill It was the use of cat I should have linked to the original rather than wikipedia but "useless use of cat" list goes back to the dawn of time:-)
@PeterGrill happens sometimes
 
@DavidCarlisle :-)
acutally happens quite often with you and egreg.
 
@PeterGrill not so much with the latter;-)
 
@DavidCarlisle :-) :-) Mann so much more fun hanging out here than composing questions...
 
@PeterGrill We have more Legos in here. :)
 
10:53 PM
@PeterGrill anyway I know you only used grep to give @egreg a chance to steal the tick by using a pure tex solution with l3regex
 
@DavidCarlisle ooh that would be awesome. :)
@JasperLoy: Welcome back, dear Jasper! :)
 
@PauloCereda oh he's blue again
 
user19161
@PauloCereda Hi! Anyway, I think I will delete my math account as well soon, hahahaha!
 
@DavidCarlisle Difficult to say which is harder to comprehend: one with expansion, or one with LaTeX3. Both are very cryptic to me.
 
@DavidCarlisle RGB power. :)
@JasperLoy Hey! Stop that. :P
 
user19161
10:55 PM
Yes, I think I should be done with SE completely by the end of April. I am now in the process of editing my old posts. When I am done, I will be gone.
 
@David: I can't wait to see how dandelion will make testing stuff more boring. :) We do love \tracingall :)
 
user19161
But I will come here and say goodbye before that.
 
@JasperLoy And then you are gone into the blue?
 
user19161
@Speravir Don't know where I will be gone too. The details of my life will be kept top secret!
 
@PauloCereda yes the current test suite is basically \tracingall and diff, but it has lasted well:-)
 
user19161
10:57 PM
@PauloCereda Are you still contributing to TeXworks code?
 
@DavidCarlisle Can't say our new approach will behave. :P
 
@JasperLoy Oh … :-)
 
user19161
@Speravir Well, some people I have emailed know my secrets. =)
 
@JasperLoy I had some testing code, but for now, I'm drowning with "real" work. Not so much time to spend on fun. :(
 
@JasperLoy Oh … ;-)
 
10:58 PM
@JasperLoy ooh that sounds dirty. :P
