| lucs | Goood morning. | 15:04 | |
| moritz_ | good localtime() | 15:06 | |
| lucs | :) | 15:07 | |
| Darn. My LaTeX setup is crufty. | 15:08 | ||
| moritz_ | ie normal. | ||
| lucs | pronik is using features that are found in more recent distros only. | 15:09 | |
| I'll get it working, eventually :) | |||
| moritz_ | I'm of two minds about it | ||
| one is that it would be great of most people could build the book easily | |||
| the other is that we're writing a freakin' book, and it needs proper typesetting | 15:10 | ||
| lucs | Yeah. I tend to go for the latter. | ||
| moritz_ | and that not using the best tools available for the task would be waste of volunteer's effort | ||
| lucs | Since frequent releases are planned, a user could always download a recent version (if we make them available somewhere). | 15:11 | |
| It could be troublesome for the authors who want to see what their recent writings look like though, if they're not set up to build it correctly. | 15:12 | ||

| pronik | it seems the minted package will solve all our formatting problems in the end | 20:04 | |
| moritz_ | what is "minted"? | ||
| pronik | I'll commit something today to the branch | ||
| www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/lat...ib/minted/ | |||
| it takes pygments to format the code | |||
| pygments.org/ | |||
| I assume pygments will have perl6 highlighting some day | 20:05 | ||
| which I cannot be sure of with any latex package | |||
| lucs | pronik: I just committed a 'fixquotes' branch, for what it's worth. | ||
| By the way, I needed to install KOMA-script (for 'tocstyle') and version 1.4 of 'listings', and now the book builds fine. | 20:06 | ||
| pronik | lucs: I'll take a look | ||
| lucs | It looks pretty good :) | ||
| I mean your version. | 20:07 | ||
| pronik | lucs: wait till I'm done with minted ;) | ||
| lucs | :-) | ||
| PerlJam++ Thanks for the git help! | 20:09 | ||
| moritz_ | if you can find a way to bundle non-standard (or very new) latex packages in the book, that would make the lives of many authors easier | ||
| but it might be too much effort, no idea how picky latex is in that respect | |||
| anyway, you two rock :-) | 20:10 | ||
| pronik | moritz_: I already do, minted is not available in packaged form yet | ||
| moritz_ | oh. /me impressed | 20:11 | |
| pronik | it's just not committed yet | ||

| lucs | Wow. Spiffy! | 23:27 | |
| pronik++ Looks great! | 23:34 | ||
| pronik | gonna commit in the next couple of minutes | 23:37 | |
| lucs | I just posted the URL to #perl6, it's just so good :) | 23:38 | |
| Is it based on minted? | |||
| pronik | yes | 23:39 | |
| lucs | Did you need to muck with the quotes, or are they okay by default with minted? | ||
| pronik | yes and no -- I'm using xelatex now, which makes it rather easy. Seems to work even without your patch :) | 23:44 | |
| lucs | Simpler, better :) | 23:45 | |
| pronik | people in | 23:47 | |
| #perl6 don't seem to care much about the book :) | |||
| changes up, another challenge for you to compile ;) | |||
| lucs | Okay :) | ||
| pronik | and I notice I failed at submitting correct code ;) | 23:48 | |
| lucs | Oopsie :) | 23:49 | |
| pronik | correct stuff up shortly | ||
| lucs | No problem. | ||
| pronik | oh, one more thing -- I've deactivated your margins for now because it didn't work for me properly. Could you please look into it and correct them? | 23:52 | |
| ok, code's up | 23:53 | ||
| still, a lot of tweaking to do left | |||
| but it looks much better now :) | 23:54 | ||
| lucs | Ok. The margin values probably needed correction anyway. | ||
| It does! | |||
| pronik | (than the 2010-06) | ||
| and now I'm going to bed -- it's 2 am again, for the third day in a row | |||
| lucs | The first 90% is done, now, to the other 90% :) | ||
| pronik | correct :) | ||
| lucs | Great work sir! | ||
| pronik | if you see moritz_ later, show him the stuff ;) | 23:55 | |
| lucs | Sleep well, and talk to you soon. | ||
| You bet! | |||
