lucs Hi pronik. 20:39
Nice work in tweak-latex.
moritz_ hi 20:40
lucs Hello moritz_
pronik: My installation doesn't appear to have package 'tocstyle'.
And googling hasn't been helpful so far. 20:41
pronik letme check 20:47
lucs (Getting closer: Koma-script...)
pronik lucs: texlive-latex-recommended 20:48
lucs That one is up-to-date here apparently.
pronik one the other topic: I've taken the liberty to start integrating your patch
lucs (9.04) 20:49
The a4/letter or the sidebar?
pronik ok, I've got 10.0
*10.04
lucs Right.
pronik tocstyle is not that important iirc
I'll look at it a bit later
lucs Well, its absence breaks the build. 20:50
pronik a4/letter -- have you looked at a utility named paperconf?
moritz_ lucs: do you have a github ID?
lucs Ah, no (paperconf)
pronik its output could be a sane default for book generation
lucs pronik: I will look at it, thanks.
moritz_: Yep: 'lucs' (might already be in your email :-) 20:51
pronik let me finish eating and I'll get to tocstyle and your patch
lucs pronik: No problem, take your time.
moritz_ hugme: add lucs to book
hugme hugs lucs. Welcome to book!
pronik if you don't mind, I'd like to integrate it directly into latex-tweaks branch, since I've already started tweaking pod-to-latex
lucs pronik: Absolutely! 20:52
I was going to submit a patch to that branch anyway :)
moritz_ lucs: you now have commit access. Feel free to go wild in branches, and put non-controversial changes anywhere
lucs moritz_: Thank you sir.
PerlJam lucs++
moritz_ lucs: thank you for your patches and effort 20:53
lucs My pleasure.
And thank you to all you Perl6 folks :)
pronik moritz_: if you have any latex ideas, like the quotes problem mentioned in the mail, could you just update the TODO.latex? It's easier to follow that way, since some stuff can be done at once
moritz_ sure
pronik quotes are fine in my version btw 20:54
pronik wonders if he should consider french quotes in verbatims a bug ;)
moritz_ aren't french quotes «»? 20:55
pronik: IMHO they are a bug, yes
lucs pronik: You can copy/paste verbatim quotes from PDF and the code will compile? 20:56
moritz_ including in inline code (ie translated from C<...>)? 20:57
anyway, I've added it to TODO.latex
just in case :-)
21:00 pronik joined
pronik sorry 21:00
somehow my emacs hung :(
lucs: I haven't try compiling yet, but the code itself looks fine and correct 21:01
however, since we now have line numbers, those are copied too :(
moritz_ well, if you use an IRC client that's directly entangled with your OS... :-)
lucs pronik: Oops :)
pronik moritz_: consider windows users -- they have that every day, one programm crashes, the whole OS is gone ;) 21:02
lucs: probably fixable on some level
moritz_ pronik: akshually that happened quite seldom to me these days, when I was forced to use windows
lucs pronik: With enough effort, everything is fixable ;-)
moritz_ which is, like, daily at work
pronik moritz_: tell me about it, have to work with windows at work too 21:03
lucs: if I'm not mistaken, Acrobat Reader does rectangular selection
which is then perfectly ok ;)
pronik ponders whether to try installing acroread... 21:04
moritz_ goes to bed for now
pronik yay, a 100MiB download :D
lucs pronik: It does! (just tried it) 21:05
Sleep well moritz_
moritz_ thanks
have fun hacking :-)
lucs You bet :)
pronik: It turns out that xpdf also does rectangular selection. 21:15
pronik evince doesn't, but I can't really estimate how many people will actually care 21:18
is seems everyone else except for evince does it right 21:19
brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/16549/
lucs Heh.
21:30 pronik joined
lucs Gotta go -- back in 5, 6 hours. 21:39
pronik ok, I'll hack around :) 21:42
lucs, moritz_: I've been playing with "minted" package and also XeTeX, seems I'm getting better results, especially with Unicode stuff. Gotta experiment more :) 23:40
lucs: your margins didn't work for me, the text was too far to the right
one nice touch of "minted" is that is workes through pygments, which is pretty cool and it might get syntax highlighting for perl6 earlier than any latex package would 23:41
