@DavidCarlisle, could you please take a little look at this post? tex.stackexchange.com/questions/107549/…
I'm afraid it seems the correct hyphenation is bio-med-i-cine (according to Svend)
@Joseph: I need €10, please. @David is broke. :)
19:28
@MarioS.E. well I just stuck some - in at places that seemed like they might make sense. If one dictionary finds one extra place is OK that's not surprising The width of an i isn't likely to make much difference, breaking either side will stop the line being so under full
@DavidCarlisle but couln't LaTeX break in an incorrect manner?
@MarioS.E. Faith is weak on this one....
@percusse nah, I'm just an engineer: I always think for the worst
@MarioS.E. :-) Same here.
By the way for those interested I'm dying here on this one. Start from the bottom
19:44
@MarioS.E. there is no right and wrong about hyphenation, different dictionaries will give different answers, and (luckily for me) the dictionary quoted agreed with all the hyphenation points I guessed, plus one extra so any breaks due to the code I suggested would be OK according to the dictionary.
@DavidCarlisle Ahhhhhhh, I though that when you declared an \hyphenation that would make breaking points EXACTLY where you put them
I thought of using Finale when I saw some sort of Comic Sans clone used in a songsheet. Disgraceful.
@MarioS.E. well yes makes potential break points there but I said bio-medi-cine and webster said bio-med-i-cine so the only difference is whether you allow it to break before the i.
@MarioS.E. if I'd have said bio-me-di-ci-ne then that would have allowed a break before the d which would have been wrong according to the dictionary, but I didn't so all is OK:-)
!!/eightball is the dictionary correct?
@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: let's wait for David to finish xor first.
20:07
!!/eightball are you sorry about the boat race?
@DavidCarlisle Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: don't count on it.
@PauloCereda no remorse at all ^^^^
@DavidCarlisle I lost money too. :(
@PauloCereda good
!!/eightball did we deserve losing money?
20:08
@DavidCarlisle Alright, thanks for the clarification :)
@PauloCereda Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: my reply is no.
!!/eightball This is not a question.
@Qrrbrbirlbel Psmith, the TeX bot: The great 8-ball says: reply hazy, try again.
Just finished dinner. :( The bus took one hour to get me to the station, so I lost my train. Delights of the big wine fair.
@egreg so plenty of time to fix colortbl while you were on the bus then?
20:17
@egreg Oh. :(
@PauloCereda arara qn to be answered....
@PauloCereda Hi Paulo! :) If you get a change, I'd love to know if you have any thoughts on tex.stackexchange.com/questions/107598/… :) or indeed if the problem can be recreated...
@cmhughes Sure! :) I just need to bring my Windows machine back to life and install stuff. :)
@DavidCarlisle Not an activity I do on the bus. Too many bugs to take care of. :P
@PauloCereda thanks Paulo, no rush :)
20:23
@cmhughes Are you using any specific Perl distro in Windows?
@PauloCereda Strawberry :)
@cmhughes Great. :)
20:53
@cmhughes: Are you around?
user19161
@PauloCereda Debian Wheezy is taking forever to release!
@JasperLoy And Fedora 19 is on the horizon. :)
user19161
@PauloCereda CentOS 7 might be out at the end of the year!
@JasperLoy :)
21:01
@Speravir I took the liberty of amending the final note. Please, check it's what you were thinking about it.
@PauloCereda Hi Paulo :) yes sir, sir!
@egreg I already noticed. Everything’s fine. But side note: Where I would have to add the dictionary files? In MiKTeX they are directly in <texmf>\hunspell.
@cmhughes :) The "hello world" example didn't work with you?
The one you posted in the question.
@PauloCereda not from arara... but it did work from the command line- did you see the arara.log I posted?
@cmhughes I did. I'm asking this because myscript works with arara as well in here.
The reported error in the log appears to be more Perl-specific.
21:06
@PauloCereda dang, I was worried that would be the case...
@cmhughes I really don't know what's causing the error. What if you remove all modules from myscript and try to run arara again?
I suspect some modules loading are causing problems, not the call per se, which seems to be happening.
@PauloCereda yes, I think you're right.... if I comment out all of the modules then arara runs fine- let me see how many I can add back in...
@cmhughes Don't worry, we will trace the source. :)
Hi there please close this Q tex.stackexchange.com/q/107599/15717, it's leading to nowhere and not constructive .
@Speravir What I know is that they go in <HOME>\TeXworks\dictionaries (on Windoze, but this is second hand information, of course).
21:12
@PauloCereda I don't think it is arara- to be honest I wasn't sure that it was to start with, but the fact that the script ran from the command line but not in arara was the only reason...
I think i need to check my modules are in order...
@texenthusiast could you elaborate?
@cmhughes Please, in terminal: where perl
I would have absolutely loved to have this when I started out --- I was absolutely lost.
@PauloCereda C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe
An all-together resource like this specifically for Windows users on MikTeX would be amazing - unless of course there is a duplicate you'd kindly point to.
21:14
@cmhughes Let's try another thing, just to be sure: myscript.cmd is in the path right?
Try this myscript.yaml instead (I removed the arguments just to ease our debugging process):
!config
identifier: myscript
name: MyScript
command: cmd /c myscript.cmd "@{file}"
arguments: []
@PauloCereda same result with the file I posted... If I use this version, it works ok
#!/usr/bin/perl


use strict;
use warnings;
use FindBin; # help find defaultSettings.yaml
use File::Copy; # to copy the original file to backup (if overwrite option set)
use File::Basename; # to get the filename and directory path
use Getopt::Std; # to get the switches/options/flags
#use File::HomeDir; # to get users home directory, regardless of OS
#use YAML::Tiny; # interpret defaultSettings.yaml


print "hello world";
exit;
@cmhughes Ouch.
@egreg Hmm, tried it. I have a portable TL, there is only texlive\texmf-local. I created there texworks\dictionaries, put dictionary files ina nd refreshed file lists, but it does not work. (And I made a mistake, in MiKTeX they are in hunspell\dicts.)
@Speravir Can't say more than that, for obvious reasons. ;-)
@egreg Yeah, just wanted to notify about my trial.
21:31
@texenthusiast I'm sorry to be a drag, but I would think the Q in question would most certainly fall under "However, if your motivation is “I would like others to explain ______ to me”, then you are probably OK. " ... While the question doesn't seem to show much effort, it definitely has the air of bewilderment about it. OP is lost.
I suppose it may be unreasonably scoped...
@SeanAllred tex.sx has already got beautiful Q& A and so for better knowledge database i thought we are duplicating the efforts. Let's see what happens i am not the one to vote to close down. I just put my request. See my comments in Q. BTW your answer is also great :).
Thanks @texenthusiast - that means a lot coming from you. I saw your comments and integrated your efforts into the CW, but I guarantee that the first thing I did was scour TeX.SX for a potential duplicate. While most of the questions on this site are PracticalQuestion->PracticalAnswer, there are quite a few that aren't (Explaining LaTeX to your grandmother, etc.)
We'll see where it goes.
@PauloCereda thanks for your time Paulo :) I have to head off now- I'll keep working on it, and let you know if I find anything :)
@SeanAllred No worries my friend :) we work as community
@texenthusiast :) another reason I love you guys.
I was actually over on programmers.se today and forgot how vicious people can be when it comes to rep
We really do have something awesome going on over here at TeX - something much more inline with (what I think) SE sites should be like in general.
People doing nice things because, well, it's a nice thing.
@percusse I'm offended by your censor. We all know which sequence of five characters should be in there.
:)
(and thanks!)
21:50
@SeanAllred :-) I think you mean vimmm
2
22:01
@SeanAllred I think your question is more meta then TeX
Should I vote for that?
@percusse Flagging, that the one special moderator can decide himself?
@percusse I'm not sure whether your comment means you like my futurelet answer or not:-)
@DavidCarlisle I have a positive online persona :)
@percusse :-)
@Speravir I guess we can figure out within ourselves without asking for the axe of the Tor :-)
22:09
@percusse What? Stefan is the axe of Thor? (Did I forgot a smilie?)
@Speravir Hahaha Too much german exercise. I meant Thor indeed. But we can just vote so they don't need to do extra work.
@percusse: online mode, sir. :)
@PauloCereda Bad command or nasty user.... :P
@percusse <3
This is how @egreg gets ahead, @DavidCarlisle:

Q: What makes my line get shifted to the left when I invoke \LoadConstants?

Karl's students In the beginning I use the following code. So far so good. \documentclass[pstricks,border=12pt]{standalone} \usepackage{multido} \usepackage[nomessages]{fp} \def\LoadConstants{} \newcommand\const[3][3]{% \edef\temporary{round(#3}% \expandafter\FPeval\csname#2\expandafter\endcsname ...

22:21
@Werner Did you have a look at the bounties earned recently by @DavidCarlisle? Totally unmerited, of course. :P
@Werner the man has no shame
@egreg It wasn't even a bug in your own package:-)
@egreg @DavidCarlisle I hope this "feud" keeps you two busy so that the rest of us can answer some questions...
@Werner @egreg had too much of a head start he's long gone. lockstep and Martin though, they are current target:-)
@DavidCarlisle Oh dear... not many hurdles until... I'm the target. Mmmm... :-/
@Werner Just get Karl'sstudents to give you 2000 and you'll easily stay ahead:-)
22:27
@DavidCarlisle He hasn't 2000 to offer, to begin with. :)
@egreg His reputation has been to dole it out though. See Top Investors as a Data Query.
22:47
@egreg: @David is currently busy listing bugs in my Lua code. :)
@PauloCereda save still doesn't work for me, is it possible for me to annotate the lua with some print statements so it echos where it thinks it is writing to? I suppose I could read the lua manual but that would be cheating
@DavidCarlisle Sure! :)
print("text")
@PauloCereda that doesn't look too complicated, I'll see what breaks...
@DavidCarlisle :)
23:06
@PauloCereda Ah save works on the example1.tex in git and makes a file the same apart from eol at end and a comment with the date , but on mine it says
:: I'm sorry, but the tests from the log file and
:: the tests from the source file differ. I cannot
:: proceed. Stopping execution.
I guess the difference is that mine generates a TeX error.
@DavidCarlisle Oh, we are making progress! :) If I remember this message, it's because the .tex file has, say, test1 and test2, and the .log is expected to have the same markups.
@Werner I thought the correct answer was "you are not using tikz". :-)
@PauloCereda yo fixed
@DavidCarlisle oooooh! :)
@PauloCereda as I mentioned in email I don't much like the weird split between comments and tex markup, in this case % id: e2-1 has to match \begin{TEST}{e2-1}
23:11
@DavidCarlisle You mean, a ID spec followed by its corresponding test?
@PauloCereda I made my test by just hacking the existing one (of course:-) and changed the name in half the places it appeared. If the argument to \begin{TEST} has to match the preceding id comment it would be simpler just to not have it.
@DavidCarlisle I see. :) You mean suppress the id comment reference by grabbing it via TeX macro. :)
@PauloCereda well I would either use comment syntax for both or tex syntax for both, I don't see why the author name and the expected result are comments but the test is a latex environment.
@DavidCarlisle I had to come up with something. :)
But anyway having got one silly test to work `- Congratulations, none of your tests failed!
` should I check it in and see if I really do have write access?
23:18
@DavidCarlisle You mean, in the git repo? Have fun. :)
@PauloCereda yes not complaining, just saying that that split is something I don't "get" at present. especially the expected result being a comment I think will b epainful for bigger tests (the old test suite has several multipage \showoutput logs as expected result
@PauloCereda yep
@DavidCarlisle Agreed. Joseph and I planned a special directive with loadfile("foo.tst") used in the % expects: line in order to load the content instead of inline'ing it. :)
@DavidCarlisle I double-checked, you have write permissions. :) Have fun. :)
What do you think about

Q: TikZ exercises

fg nuI am not sure that this is a right fit for SE, but I will risk it. I was recently acquainting myself with the xy-pic package, and I found the included exercises very helpful in getting up to speed with the package. It made me think how great it would be to have a set of TikZ exercises that aid...

@PauloCereda git add, commit, push??
@DavidCarlisle Pretty much it. :)
23:23
@PauloCereda you might want to check what I broke:-)

@PauloCereda yes, defs- should I login to gmail?

@PauloCereda roger that :)

Q: Removing the dashed blue box around a folded code header in TeXstudio

01001101.turingI've looked through the configuration menus several times, but haven't been able to find a way to change the color of or remove altogether the dashed blue box that appears around a folded code header (while keeping the folding itself). Is it not possible or have I just missed it?
