| lucs | Heya pronik. | 19:29 | |
| pronik | lucs: hi | ||
| lucs | How are you doing? | ||
| pronik | soso -- had to work today :-/ | ||
| lucs | Bleah :) | ||
| pronik | gotta look more into perl6 lexer | 19:30 | |
| lucs | To improve the syntax highlighting? | ||
| pronik | right | ||
| lucs | Cool. | ||
| pronik | to make it work at all | 19:31 | |
| my problem is: I know very little about perl6 and the book itself is no big help so far ;) | |||
| lucs | I know hardly anything about Perl6. | ||
| That's why I can only help on the formatting. | 19:32 | ||
| Which I won't have time to look at much for a little while :( | |||
| (I need to do some PostScript/LaTeX stuff for my wife.) | |||
| I understand that there is a plan to release a version of the book at the same time as Rakudo* (July 29), but I should have time to get back to it before then. | 19:34 | ||

| lucs | With some luck, you'll have figured out the lexing :-) | 19:34 | |
| pronik | should be doable, but we'll see how it goes | 19:35 | |
| lucs | By the way, for what it's worth, getting rid of '\\usepackage[english]{varioref}' (apparently incompatible with 'hyperref') makes the TOC links work correctly in the PDF. | 19:41 | |
| (I had fun chasing that one down :-) | |||
| pronik | no problem with that -- some of the lines are copied verbatim from my bachelor's thesis, with some I don't have any idea what they actually do :) | 19:43 | |
| lucs | Yeah, it feels a bit cargo-culted :) | 19:44 | |
| moritz_ | that's the way most of my latex documents work too | ||
| lucs | I'm going to try to trim it down (good learning experience). | ||
| moritz_ chases down a SRSLY WTF bug | 19:45 | ||
| lucs | In the book? | ||
| pronik | lucs: I think I can give a rationale for most of the lines, maybe i should comment them too -- LaTeX-foo of most people is far from being stellar... | 19:46 | |
| moritz_ | no, some local code here | ||
| sorry, off-topic | |||
| lucs | moritz_: Ah, no problem :) | ||
| pronik: I would certainly learn from that. | 19:47 | ||
| LaTeX is so bloody huge nowadays. | |||
| pronik just subscribed to ctan updates | |||
| like I've noticed from xetex and minted there is a lot of progress in the latex world | 19:48 | ||
| moritz_ | does latex have lexical scoping? | ||
| it somehow feels as if certain modules aren't properly encapsulated | |||
| pronik | I'm afraid not | ||
| tex on the inside is more like assembler than like perl | |||
| lucs | Yeah, things interact in weird ways sometimes. | 19:49 | |
| moritz_ | like, loading order of two seemingly unrelated modules makes bugs come and go | ||
| pronik | however, I wonder what luatex brings | ||
| I haven't read my TeXbook in a long time... | |||
| luatex looks extremely interesting... | 19:55 | ||
| moritz_ | what's up with latex 3? | 19:56 | |
| pronik | well, latex has always been a couple of styles atop of tex | 19:58 | |
| and luatex is the replacement for tex | |||
| there is probably lualatex out there | |||
| that is: latex 3 is probably like perl6 -- will come out someday :) | 19:59 | ||
| but it's not really relevant for luatex | |||
| moritz_ | ok :-) | ||
| pronik | besides, it seems latex3 wanted to do everything that luatex / xetex / context etc. can already | 20:00 | |
