@egreg: Can you give me a typographic hint? How should I type the words of Christ in an eucharistic prayer? I thought of using \textsc{...}, but it doesn't look good. But I don't want to type it as all caps. :(
@egreg haven't been there this morning, hang on...
@egreg no. although the site is pretty stupid if you keep a tab open too long it gets confused, quite often i have to go to "home" then select "my communities" and then stix, and let the browser log me in again.
@DavidCarlisle Re your latest team message: as I keep saying, we need to finish LaTeX3 stuff including xor. It's only partly a joke that I keep saying about it!
@DavidCarlisle As you know, despite the questions on 'stability' I think any eventual LaTeX3 format should assume a Unicode engine (there are all sorts of font issues otherwise)
@JosephWright Out of interest, what does a team meeting look like? Sitting on an actual round table? Sitting in some nice park in Darmstadt with birds singing? A pub late at night, rough discussions and heavy drinking? Sitting in a lounge with cigars and cognac?
@Johannes_B Well we've not had one since I joined, so I've no idea!
@Johannes_B One reason I've been keen to get to Darmstadt is it looks like a very unusual opportunity: a chance to actually meet various people I know only by e-mail
@Johannes_B On the LaTeX team, I've only ever actually met @DavidCarlisle and Robin Fairbairns
@ChristianHupfer Facebook: Look, cute horse. Look, nice picture of me. Ate some chicken today. vs. Github: Guys, made some programming, check it out if you want.
@JosephWright Didn't went to the last one. It was announced one day in advance and i didn't read the university mails in time. The initiator promised me to announce it on d.c.t.t. next time. I will definitely see it there ;-)

@Johannes_B Atlassian, the company behind Bitbucket amongst others, has added a number of “like” buttons to their code hosting and project management software. You can like pull request, comments etc.
@Johannes_B I’ve used it exactly once, to like a reply a colleague made to a comment by another colleague, that I found really stupid. It felt more constructive to like the reply than to try and find a nice way to say “what a stupid comment” to the other colleague ;-)
@Johannes_B Yes, as someone said, “I don’t know who thought it was a good idea”.

@Manuel ah you need one of the early joiners, there is a thread somewhere (on meta?) discussing the background. What's that Ask Question though? on my browser it looks like:
Is the background here at TeX.SX copyrighted? If not, does any one know about a MWE which replicates the background on the webpage? I have always been amazed at it and would like to use it as a background of a document. I did some search on the webpage and I was able to extract the .png file belo...
@PauloCereda And the view during landing is awesome, provided your seat is on the right side: the view from the left side is the industrial zone of Marghera, from the other side you see Venice, because the flight crosses the “Ponte della libertà” in the middle.
@PauloCereda Are you using Fedora 21? If so, are you able to update? I'm getting a problem with an unsatisfied dependency python-qt5-5.4.1-5.fc21.x86_64 needs qt5-qtbase(x86-64) >= 5.4.2 and it isn't available.
@PauloCereda Hmm... The GUI thingy succeeded, but I guess that is not doing quite the same thing. Probably they've released something they shouldn't to updates, I guess.
@cfr Sometimes (rarely, actually, but it happens once in a while) packagers screw things up, maybe with a unstable version (available in rawhide) or wacky references which aren't still packed. I remember when they messed with selinux, that thingy gave me nightmares. The other two days, they released a new fix and everything was fine.
@PauloCereda Yes, I remember getting similar errors once before but I think I found a record of the error online. This time, searching turned up nothing. They shouldn't give ducks nightmares, though.
@yo' I have no idea, i asked for details. The op described it as a flat roof, or an upside down bath tub. The title of the thread mentions symbols, so math is quite possible.
@egreg -- david has already answered. but i just want you to know that you're not alone. it has happened to me at least three times a day for the last week, and it is driving me crazy! i've finally learned to log out when i figure i won't be going back there for an hour or more, and log back in later.
@egreg -- yes, i did. stephen's rerun of my nasty test turned up the same problems, and one more: \idotsint isn't properly sized either. not sure yet whether the larger sizes are missing or just not "linked" properly in the math table. (need stephen to generate an id-identified font dump; i haven't got the proper tools.)
@DavidCarlisle Maybe I should have used \oalign, just to be forced to do some somersaults and make the code as obfuscated as possible, without going to xii style.
@Manuel -- the way my monitor works, i can't see any of the background on the page. but is the globe-spiral the same as what's on the front cover of the tug98 proceedings (link from tug.org/TUGboat/Contents/contents19-3.html)? if so, that was done by some gust members, the same ones who work on the tex gyre fonts. definitely postscript.
@yo' I’m not a native English speaker, but Wikipedia alone returns a number of native-sounding results for “thousand faces”, including book and sound titles.
@ArthurReutenauer but that all is "a thousand faces" with a slightly different meaning. My usage would be "The thousand faces of numeration systems" as a title for the introductory section in my thesis.
@barbarabeeton That's a beautiful one, but not the one in the page. If you look to the screen from 30 or 40 degrees from below (counting from the perpendicular) it's probable that you see it more easily (bad explanation, but Gonzalo Medina managed to understand it).
@DavidCarlisle When I’m thinking of an expression that I think is idiomatic and I want to include it in a public document or speech, that’s usually all I need to be satisfied that I will be understood. How I will be understood is a different issue, as there can be different interpretations of absolutely any word or phrase.
@Manuel -- i do understand your suggestion about looking at the screen from an angle, but it doesn't help. the settings on this monitor are all fouled up, and can't really be improved. the graphics card is a "stepchild", having been installed when the one that worked the way i want (and need) fried, and is too old to be in production any more. so everything i see is "washed out", the contrast is abysmal, but this is the only screen in the place that is big enough for what i need. sigh.
Hey guys, can I get some help setting up a few shortcuts in a general latex file template, for example I'd like to avoid having to keep typing out \begin{align} blah \end{align} and also \begin{align} \begin{split} blah \end{align} \end{split}
@bolbteppa Environments are like russian nesting dolls, keep that in mind ;-)
@bolbteppa This is something you should deal with on the editor level. Define shortcuts so your editor writes that stuff down, do not create LaTeX-commands for that.
I'm not well versed in this stuff unfortunately, I know I can type dollar signs to make equations quickly, $x^2$, I'm hoping I can make 3 dollar signs be equivalent to \begin{align} blah \end{align} and 4 dollar signs to the split one, e.g. adding something to my preamble in the same way adding \def\bF{\operatorname{\mathbb{F}}} makes \bF come out as $\mathbb{F}$, instead of me typing \mathbb{F}
If you have latex enabled it might not show what I just typed actually :/
@bolbteppa short answer no, longer answer it's usually a bad idea to abbreviate environments and ams environment in particular have extra rules and constraints on how they may be abbreviated. Also don't use \def use \newcomand:-)
@bolbteppa I have latex installed on on my machine but that won't affect what happens in a web page like this.
@bolbteppa are you sure you want \operatorname there, that makes $\bF$ expand to $\operatorname{\mathbb{F}}$ not $\mathbb{F}$ ??
I just copied what my professors model latex file had defined, I have no idea what I'm doing haha, but this page http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/13042/defining-a-command-for-amsmaths-align-environment said using \newcommand{\eq}[1]{\begin{align*}#1\end{align*}} will work, which it does?
@bolbteppa that works (what doesn't work for ams alignments is separate commands for begin and end) but it's a bad idea though. In particular many tex editors will know that align is a math mode environment and offer context sensitive help and colour highlighting, but if you hide that you lose those features. environment syntax is a major part of the latex syntax design, it makes little sense to hide that.
Another really useful thing would be about spacing, I have a section of my notes where I want every sentence under the second word in the title, right now all I can think of doing is this: "\section*{Bose Non-Relativistic} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ When \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ When" Is there a better way to specify the spacing without having to type all the slashes for this section of my notes? :D

@clemens @ChristianHupfer @LaRiFaRi @mico @UlrikeFischer @esdd @otherGermanSpeakersAround Do we have the same distinction between references and bibliography (that i learned about just now) in the german language. What would it be? And what would be Quellenverzeichnis in english? blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2014/03/…
@Johannes_B yes google translates references and bibliography to Referenzen und Bibliographie so that must be right as its translation service is perfect
@PauloCereda that was what I first thought of, but apparently I haven't got it installed so I stupidly decided that I'd pretend I know what half the convert options meant, with no apparent success
@DavidCarlisle if the mean basically the same, which i agree with, how are they translated to different things? I am a bit angry about my confusion right now.
@DavidCarlisle german wiki describes bot for Literaturverzeichnis it seems. Or it is just late and i am tired.
@Johannes_B I mean my understanding of the german forms is that they mean the same
@Johannes_B You could have a bibliography without any other part of a document, it's a list of works. whereas a list of references is necessarily tied to a particular document and lists works that are referenced in that document.
@DavidCarlisle That would be just as Bibliographie und Literatur/Literaturverzeichnis, so same.
@DavidCarlisle Looking at book and report, bot define \bibname as Bibliography, but commonly that would not be a bibliography as just defined above.
Just have Pears, 2012 (Cite them right) in front of me. Definition of bibliography: [a reference list] is not the same thing as a bibliography, which uses the same format as a refereence list, but also includes all material used in the preparation of your work.
@Johannes_B: A "Quellenverzeichnis" could be something where copyrights of photographs etc. are listed. I prefer the term "Literaturverzeichnis" for citing from books, journals etc.
@Johannes_B yes there is what the words mean, and how they are used (especially how used in latex) which is a different thing. if you are using bibtex for example then \cite will by default cause a "list of refererences" to be made, but \nocite{*} will include the whole bibtex file so arguably it's no longer a list of references, but article calls it references anyway and book calls them both bibliography ..
@DavidCarlisle So, every APA style, no matter if LaTeX package, bibliographystyle or biblatex-style should redefine \nocite to give an error message saying CHEATER! :-)
@Johannes_B which is sort of OK for the standard classes, they are designed to be loose with markup and terminology as a real journal class is supposed to redefine things anyway. Beside which the terminology was set up in the colonies and you can't expect them to pay too much attention about which European language we stole the words from, and what those words are supposed to mean.
@egreg: I might at least give a Skype talk (in Italian, I will do my best, I promise). Do you think I should talk about arara or my new songbook project we are putting into production?
@PauloCereda I still need to work out what I'm doing each day, and what train to take from Krakow to Prauge (I really should have done that before booking my hotels!)
@Canageek I've been using inkscape to draw some poster for my parish and the results are quite good. Since I also have Computer Modern installed as a FreeType font, I can also fake the fonts into Inkscape. :)
