A got a bronze badge! Proves I do know something about my packages!

@DavidCarlisle ooh

hmm, pandoc is a bit too aggressive for my taste. Hmm, have to write some pre and postprocessors

@DavidCarlisle atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/… ... I'd go with the hotfix approach there

@JosephWright oh so a specific one-off branch, OK I did wonder about doing that as well

@sollniss nodes near coords={\pgfmathprintnumber\pgfplotspointmeta\%}

oh i completely missed the \%, thanks

@DavidCarlisle It's very exclusive too.

@AlanMunn :-)

@DavidCarlisle and about other packages too, such as picture mode TikZ

@schtandard Talk to @DavidCarlisle

why is this not centering?

there should be enough space

@sollniss Please don't post images of code; they're not very helpful. And this seems to be a question for the main site. But when you post the code, don't post a fragment, but put it into a compilable document so that people can reproduce the behaviour.

ok

is there some online compiler or a sandbox where i can quickly put something together?

@sollniss Guess from a glance: You have text width=10cm in the yticklabel style, meaning that the yticklabels become 10cm wide. Reduce the width.

wouldnt the text then break at a different point?

reducing the 10cm to for example 7cm moves the figure to the left but results in two linebreaks for the long text

@sollniss No, other than Overleaf. But it's easiest to create the minimal example in your own editing environment and then just paste the code.

@sollniss You're right. (Didn't look too carefully.)

@sollniss Maybe try to add trim axis left to your tikzpicture options?

doesnt help

@sollniss Then we probably need a complete example. (By the way, to reply to a message, hover the mouse over it, and click the arrow that appears on the right side.)

i made an mwe

should i just post it here or make a question

@TorbjørnT. @AlanMunn

@sollniss I would make it a question, since it will reach more people, and the obvious ideas that @TorbjørnT. and I had haven't worked.

posted it here

@JosephWright I was only looking for someone with a current installation who could confirm that this is indeed a bug and not some error on OP's part, since they didn't want to report it without confimation.

(I could of course still talk to @DavidCarlisle about that..)

@schtandard I can reproduce the problem, imho the new quoting code clashes here but David will know more.

@schtandard looks that way (from the error message) I'll see if I can see (or post the standard workaround)

@UlrikeFischer, @DavidCarlisle Thanks.

@schtandard I posted something (it just undoes the main point of the change, allowing utf8 in filenames, making them "safe" has also changed the interpretation of braces, not quite sure how that is going to be resolved

@DavidCarlisle So this is something that has to be resolved in the kernel? I just assumed that this was an intended change and that the svg package needed to be updated..

@schtandard it wasn't totally unintended but the effects are perhaps wider than expected (you never really find out what weird things packages are doing until they break:-) so I hope to make most existing uses work again (I have a lot more real world examples than i did a week ago...)

@DavidCarlisle Ok.

@DavidCarlisle This is looking more and more like Brexit every day. :)

@AlanMunn Don't ...

@AlanMunn you are mean

@PauloCereda vv

@TeXnician ooh spoilers

@PauloCereda only 45 more …

@HaraldHanche-Olsen ooh

@PauloCereda 44

@PauloCereda I was waiting for 45 ooh one after another

@CarLaTeX ooh cheating

@PauloCereda Ducks don't cheat

@CarLaTeX ooh

@CarLaTeX they have even been known to get their thesis done

@PauloCereda 43

@HaraldHanche-Olsen ooh

@PauloCereda the meaning of life

@HaraldHanche-Olsen :)

@HaraldHanche-Olsen The answer

@CarLaTeX WE ARE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE

Mac people: will you guys update to Catalina?

@PauloCereda Most likely, but not until I can run macports on it without too much trouble.

@HaraldHanche-Olsen I don't remember, was it in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", too?

@HaraldHanche-Olsen MacPorts! I've been using Homebrew.

@PauloCereda I'm still running Sierra, because I'm lazy.

@AlanMunn I got rid of Lion. :) My iMac runs... High Sierra I guess.

@CarLaTeX I don't remember which book, but yes, unless I misquoted it. It's a message from the creator of the universe, hidden away on an airless planet far away from anywhere. Message in ten meter high flaming letters.

@HaraldHanche-Olsen Ooh

@CarLaTeX It's been too long. I need to reread the whole series.

@HaraldHanche-Olsen I read the first one only few years ago :)

@PauloCereda I started out with Fink, but moved to macports (then darwinports) because Fink seemed to stay too far behind. Now I have used macports for so long, I got to know many of its quirks and it seldom gives me trouble.

@HaraldHanche-Olsen I use Homebrew for some time and I really enjoy. :) But my Mac software days might be over any day now. Since I cannot upgrade macOS > High Sierra, I will get rid of it and use the hardware (which is decent) with Fedora. :)

@HaraldHanche-Olsen I got sick of MacPorts and also use Homebrew (though rarely). The MacPorts sandbox approach invariably led to problems in my experience.

@AlanMunn That's odd. I can't remember ever running into problems of that nature.

@HaraldHanche-Olsen I don't remember specifics. But Homebrew is nice.

@AlanMunn And cask too. :)

@AlanMunn I prefer the kind of homebrew I can actually drink. (I did brew a batch last Sunday.)

@HaraldHanche-Olsen :)

@PauloCereda Do they know something we don't?

@JosephWright oh no

@PauloCereda Brexit already?

@CarLaTeX shhhhhh

@CarLaTeX Not before @PauloCereda has reached 6666.

@HaraldHanche-Olsen ooh

… all right, this is getting silly … I'd better stop here and go to bed.

@PauloCereda Arara has competition: cercll.arizona.edu/educational-resources/macaws

@AlanMunn -- The lengths people will go to, to devise cute acronyms. (Like arara, this one is particularly flighty.) (The Brown corpus didn't even try. In a former life, I did some of the data entry, via keypunch. One discussion topic I remember was, how to indicate that a period was at the end of a sentence if the last word was also an abbreviation. I don't remember the resolution of that question.)

@barbarabeeton Indeed. This reminds me of this:

@DavidCarlisle I see FMi is having fun with NFSS ...

@DavidCarlisle Where's Will with xfss when we need him?
