@michal.h21 Yeah, but we're not typesetting 6000 copies of the same text-only xml files. Add some page breaking html tables to every 5th file and a complex narrow two-column DIN A4 format and you may notice a slight drop in performance... Seriously, we looked into LuaTeX let alone it's typographical benefits, but even relatively simple standard LaTeX (i.e. not xml) projects took almost trice as much time than normal LaTeX. And we're talking scientific journals and text books here, not novels.
@s__C Some guessing: ylabel near ticks overwrites the existing style for every axis y label, and it doesn't include align=... or text width, so line breaks wont work. Try adding ylabel style={align=center} after ylabel near ticks.
@JosephWright the last renaming query is for 2013 and has ~650 entries but @Moriambar did jan/feb last night and I'm up to half way through august starting from December so we should be done by tomorrow then see anything missed when there is a clean dump on sunday morning
@DavidCarlisle nope tomorrow. Today I'm at work, but I get off early to prepare to london. Tonight probably I can do some, despite the alarm is set at 4:20 tomorrow
@JosephWright I only come to London to see the National Gallery Museum (and hope to find Gal Gadot there <3). Nothing else. I can really cut down costs this way :) also, I cannot afford any days off
@JosephWright I don't know your daily job, but your name I do :)
@JosephWright nice. I'd like to see the Emmaus Supper since I've never seen a Caravaggio in real life before (yes in Italy there are plenty, have I told you I don't like to travel?)
@UlrikeFischer I have a miktex related question for you. A user came by with a completely new MikTeX installation plus he is using TeXnicCenter. Apparently eventhough he explicitly stated that packages should be installed on the fly (don't ask first) we observed that running pdflatex through TC would not install all packages. We ended up running it several times though a dos prompt to have it install the missing packages.
I was wondering whether this is a known issue, or just that he did not run pdflatex enough times on his file since apparently it can only install one package per compilation. The error picked up by TC just does not mention that
this was related to a missing packages and that the user should recompile.
@daleif If it works on a prompt but not in TC then it is a texnicCenter problem (the editor has been notorius for blocking the dialog and imho it is no longer developed).
I don't know what I've done, but all of a sudden I am unable to compile any document which uses the geometry package. Minimal (non)-working example:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\begin{document}
test
\end{document}
doesn't produce any output, and this is what I ...
@UlrikeFischer but he had the setting where it should just install without asking. So there should not be any dialogs, plus he was certain that at least some packages was installed through TC, but not all.
@daleif Well you are not saying which package weren't installed, there are few miktex wouldn't pick up (e.g. cm-super). But I just run a small test and miktex has no problems to install more than one missing packages. So I think it is highly probable that the problem is with texniccenter and can't be solved as the application is more or less dead.
@PauloCereda someone just suggested that if they change the svn pre-commit hook to normalise on tab then the company could save money and pay us all less.
@UlrikeFischer It is more weird than that. In my office we explictly saw that it installed xparse and expl3. Then he went to his own office and rebooted his computer, which is a University laptop with Win10. Then compiled the same file that we were playing with on his computer in my office. Now it installed both xparse and expl3 again!
There might be some issues with the roaming profiles vs miktex. I suggested that he looks into getting miktex to install everything (as admin) or switch to TL.
Plus he'll have a look at texmaker/texstudio instead of TC
@daleif Yes roaming profiles can be a problem. When you install miktex with a multiuser setup then there are two installation tree (for all and for user installation). At least one of them is by default in a roaming profile (I have forgotten which one, it was in some old discussion). You can change the folders at installation time. See docs.miktex.org/2.9/manual/setupwiz.html
@UlrikeFischer what would happen if he re-installed miktex and explicitly asked it to just install for himself? No multi user (he is the only user of the PC)?
@daleif On my PC I installed miktex in my user account as single user. The main tree is in D:\miktex, the two other relevant (for FNDB, fonts and config files etc) are one in user/appdata/roaming (UserConfig) and the other user/appdata/local (UserData). Probably (but I don't know your setup) it would be better to redirect at least the UserConfig tree away from roaming.
@daleif The main difference is that texlive has is "FNDB"-files in the respective trees and that not every tree need a ls-R-file, while miktex has them centralized. So roaming profiles needs more thinking about the setup.
@UlrikeFischer that's fixable but would require rather more invasive changes, I think just saving the raw option argument for a package to handle would be safer
@PauloCereda that's harmless, it's the space after it that kills the above code
@PauloCereda No idea ;-). Put it in the description. If it doesn't work or is incomprehensible it would be good to know. Make screenshots, then my husband can complain ...
@DavidCarlisle great. I hope to be able to sleep early… anyway I'm attacking april, and my brilliant plans for tomorrow (=simply go and hope) took a little less than expected, so this looks promising
Does anyone know how to make everything in the contents lists to be set \raggedright in memoir. I thought that \setrmarg{3.55em plus1fil} was supposed to do it, but it's certainly not having any effect on the LoF, LoT. etc.
@Marijn Thank you very much, my friend! I will acknowledge your hard work in the manual, and the Dutch users of arara will be grateful for your effort. :)
@DavidCarlisle @barbarabeeton Ok everything is done. By this I don't mean that all the posts are correct, but that basically there's no point in refining the query further. In the next dump, if I did well with the queries, I expect ≤150 posts (slips, and such). Otherwise we should anyway get ≤1000 I would think
@PauloCereda Been a geek all of my life. I never ran "in" of opportunities, so in one sense I never ran out too. Also DEK is a genius and talks about geniuses perhaps.
@Moriambar So explain this: :P Focaccia di pasta di pane condita con pomodoro, olio, origano, acciughe, mozzarella e infiniti altri ingredienti a piacere, cotta al forno , especially the phrase 'infiniti altri ingrediente a piacere' :)
@DavidCarlisle -- please take a look at this: tex.stackexchange.com/q/124708 -- i think that a couple of "lonesome slashes" weren't fixed. the text refers to "vertical spacing between equations", and the present code (even though modified by the script) doesn't produce that. does the position of the "lonesome slash" at the beginning of a line make a difference?
@barbarabeeton don't think so, that one come up in the script and gets fixed by the emacs lisp, these things happen if you fix thousands of them at a few seconds each, they odd thig gets missed:-)
@CarLaTeX I can distinguish the real thing from European copies, and I'm sure @AlanMunn can too!
