TeX, LaTeX and Friends

@Kurt Several drivers are missing for footnotes, other stuff is going on as well. On the other hand, the input is faulty as well. Who uses misc with biblatex? And what the hack is journal = {git repo}? I would say off-topic due to package bug, but let's wait for other opinions.

Good maen

Moin @Christian

@Johannes_B Well, any new templates to be burnt on the stake? ;-)

@ChristianHupfer github.com/watsonbox/cv_template_2004

@ChristianHupfer latextemplates.com/template/article-notes

@Johannes_B: All pretty examples :-P

I am quite glad that I don't publish templates but buggy packages only :D

@ChristianHupfer I don't get the point of the article-notes template.

7:33 AM

@Johannes_B Do you mean the template itself or the purpose as indicated in the description?

@ChristianHupfer Both.

@ChristianHupfer golatex.de/viewtopic,p,77121.html#77121

@Johannes_B Well, if I understood it correctly, the purpose is to make some notes an some articles, perhaps as a LaTeX scratchpad/summary ... that's not really evil ;-) I've not looked into the template however

@ChristianHupfer It is a basic article with three or four commands for a title.

@Johannes_B: Wow, that watson cv stuff has 8 stars ...

@ChristianHupfer Wanna see 15? github.com/treyhunner/resume

7:44 AM

@Johannes_B Well, if that stuff gets stars I am quite glad I have only one so far ...

@ChristianHupfer On the template site, you can see how many likes/shares/twitters etc a template gets. latextemplates.com/cat/curricula-vitae

@ChristianHupfer What i really question are the template descriptions. Especially for the theses templates.

8:15 AM

@ChristianHupfer It is the german-speaking user group.

@Johannes_B ???

@ChristianHupfer I just read your high-voted answer on Who is LaTeX.

@Johannes_B: Ah, I was confused because it referred to my previous comments about the stars

@ChristianHupfer Yes, the system is strange sometimes in highligthing stuff. But look closely, no little arrow.

@Johannes_B Well, anyway, the comment was out of context ;-)

8:29 AM

@ChristianHupfer Confusing people is one of my daily tasks.

@Johannes_B Apparently

10:07 AM

@StefanKottwitz The golatex clock seems to be off again (two or three minutes).

@JosephWright: Is mixing of expl3 syntax in commands with 'traditional' macros names (with \newcommand, \NewDocumentCommand etc) a style taboo?

@ChristianHupfer Well \NewDocumentCommand is meant to be the glue here, so that's quite allowed

@ChristianHupfer Need more context!

@JosephWright: Here some excerpts

\NewDocumentCommand{\DeclareAssociatedCounters}{O{}mm}{%
\clist_if_in:cnTF{\__g_xassoccnt_mastercontainer:}{#2}{%
% Not contained in the driver counter list
\AddAssociatedCounters[#1]{#2}{#3}%
}{%
% Check first if there is a potential cross association
\__g_xassoccnt_masterputright:m {#2}
\__g_xassoccnt_masterremoveduplicates:
\__g_xassoccnt_drivernewlist:m{#2}
\AddAssociatedCounters[#1]{#2}{#3}%
}%
}

@JosephWright: I know that I don't need % unless really commenting ;-)

@ChristianHupfer You really should have a code-level interface

@JosephWright \__g_xassoccnt_addassociatecounters rather then?

@ChristianHupfer No

@ChristianHupfer Document-level interfaces should point to documented code-level interfaces, so \ch_my_function:mmm or similar

@ChristianHupfer \NewDocumentCommand is for turning user-friendly document interfaces into code-level material with a known (fixed) list of arguments

10:47 AM

@JosephWright ah --> \DeclareAssociatedCounters wraps around xassoccnt_declareassociatedcounters:mmm` then

@ChristianHupfer Exactly

@JosephWright Ok, I will do so -- it's still in zeta - mode ;-)

Hello. Can I ask for help in regard to Texmaker perhaps?

@JosephWright: Thanks a lot

Meaning this is software related more than latex ability related

10:49 AM

@LieAlgebra Of course

I have been using texmaker at home for a few days, the usb pocket version, and I have had no problems. I have used it away from home for the first time today, and it can't publish pdfs

I have read heaps of things online, and nothing has helped

First two pages of google results for a few different queries

**One error**: Could not start the command.
pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

@JosephWright Like here?

\NewDocumentCommand \SIlist { o > { \SplitList { ; } } m m } {
  \leavevmode
  \group_begin:
    \IfNoValueTF {#1}
      { \__siunitx_list_units:nnn {#2} {#3} { }  }
      {
        \keys_set:nn { siunitx } {#1}
        \__siunitx_list_units:nnn {#2} {#3} {#1}
      }
  \group_end:
}

@JosephWright ^^^^^^ ;-)

What are the documented code level interfaces? ;-)

I am mentioned in the chat title!

"Friends"!

Now pls help your friends

@LieAlgebra You have to install a TeX distribution.

@Johannes_B I think this may have been what went wrong right, I installed some latex thing ages ago on my home computer

Perhaps only then, did I install a tex distribution

Is that right?

As in, my usb install of texmaker wouldn't work without installing a tex distribution?

11:02 AM

@LieAlgebra Yes. The editor is just a cute help, like a nice looking secretary. But you need someone (TeX distribution) to do the real work.

@LieAlgebra You can install tug.org/texlive

Can this ever be run solely off of a usb, the place I want to use it out of home doesn't let me install things

Oh I see this can

Hopefully the Zip doesn't require any installation

Why does it say required space 4110MB?

@LieAlgebra There should be a usb-instal available. Why that large? TeX Live is that large.

@Johannes_B Two questions if I am not being too annoying, will this work fine with Texmaker, and is the small-scheme good enough, I don't really use packages

@LieAlgebra Should work with texmaker. If small is enough, i canot know. Depends on your used packages.

Okay thanks, it's downloading. I can't believe I was so stupid to spend so much time when I don't have the full install

It was because I didn't use any Tex software in over a year so I forgot I must have done this haha

12:02 PM

@egreg Yes, yes, I know

Okay I downloaded and installed tex live woo

It works, you are awesome @Johannes_B, thanks so much

Does anybody know if the names for the unicode symbols are copyrighted? I would like to copy them to my database (e.g. for usage here write-math.com/unicode/?minUnicode=8592&maxUnicode=8703 or in the search). (@barbarabeeton?)

hi, sorry, I do not remember how to typesette a backslash in a package warning

$\backslash$

no, its produce $\delimiter "026E30F $

because it is warning message

but it doesnt matter

I found a way

Oh sorry I didn't know what you were asking one hundred percent

not a problem

12:34 PM

Possibly a dumb question, but you aren't a member of any math stack exchange, do you use tex for something outside of math?

@Lie yoi speak to me?

Yeah sorry @Maïeul, forgot to tag

Yes I do not mathematic

at all

I do a phd on early christianity

I use tex for bibliographic tools + critical editions tool + typographie

Oh I have only ever heard of tex in regard to math, so that seems really surprising

I guess it makes sense as soon as you hear it

I thinkg I have typesett maybe 5 times mathematical formula in 5 years of tex

yeah, it does not very often

but I try to convince people in humanities to use tex

12:37 PM

Oh wow, I have typesett maybe 5 pages of mathematical formulas today haha

I have written geekographie.maieul.net/95

French?

yes

so I fou allow me, I will let you, because I would like to make a nap

'I book se veut un manuel some introduction has latex' is how I read that first bit

?

12:38 PM

@Maïeul I think you are saying you will take a nap now and that you are leaving? Well have fun!

yes

good bye

Bye :)

12:53 PM

@Maïeul Usually \string\foo

1:11 PM

SE is again harassing me. ;-) –160 Voting corrected

@egreg Huh?

@egreg Ah

@egreg Enough to show up in the mod tools

@JosephWright I'm under the impression that the system is considering all votes from a particular user as illicit. Which is harassment, if true.

@egreg As you know, we've no real idea what the algorithm is

1:25 PM

@JosephWright Is it a coincidence?

Oct 7 at 17:52, by egreg

@PauloCereda One vote in the month?????

@JosephWright And the following lines.

@egreg Probably not

@JosephWright Well, if it's not a coincidence, I'm really upset.

I may (with some difficulty) understand that in the past some voting pattern could have been “suspicious”. But making this into a rule saying “all votes from user A to user B are illicit without any further judgment” is not what I'm expecting.

@egreg Like I say, we don't know what the approach is, we an only speculate based on the cases of reversal where we can piece together the people involved
