muixirt newbie question: in the Makefile: cd build && pdflatex book.tex && pdflatex book.tex 13:43
masak aye.
muixirt why run it twice?
masak index. 13:44
muixirt index?
masak LaTeX uses the index file of the last run.
thus, to be sure to get a fresh index, we run it twice.
muixirt ok, thanks masak
masak otherwise the page numbers and such might up pointing to the pages of the last run.
np. 13:45
moritz_ actually latex needs up to three passes, in very weird/seldom cases 13:49
m6locks yes, i always run the file three times 13:50
masak I was just thinking about how some weird combination of circumstances might end up producing infinite page numbering loops.
moritz_ masak: afaict nobody has achieved that yet 13:51
it's thinkable, with some floats flapping back and forth 13:52
masak moritz_: I can see why. I am unable to think up a plausible way for it to happen.
