How to integrate clist-s inside tabular environments? 1

निरंजन निरंजन

7 The reason it's necessary is that `\noalign` (the primitive used by `\bottomrule`) must be the first unexpandable token inside an alignment row. As such, the minimal example that breaks for the same reason as yours is the following:

8 I would not use any 3D libraries or packages for this. You can just draw circles, ellipses or arcs and lines as these two drawings are relatively simple.

Beamer, add stretch to lists 19

16 Beamer columns are basically just minipages with some `\hfill` between them to distribute them across the page (and a couple of extra features like making them overlay aware etc.). So I would not say "don't use minipages with beamer" but rather that is normally easier to use columns instead of minipages.

samcarter

7 This is not really an answer to the question, because it won't solve the problem with lists in columns, but I just saw an interesting idea how to make normal lists stretchy in beamer (inspired by https://github.com/josephwright/beamer/pull/696):

samcarter replying to barbara beeton

If it is worse, the next person will donate even more to get the box content rotated :)

barbara beeton replying to samcarter

Even if it's cheaper, rotating just the title would simply make the whole thing look worse.  False economy.

निरंजन replying to samcarter

:joy:

samcarter replying to निरंजन

Maybe they'll release v2 for April, 1st next year :P

निरंजन replying to samcarter

This seems to be lovely! Hope they translate soon, I saw the translation task in the TODO list. Only then I will be able to understand how to play it :)

Oh, then just fixing the rotation of the title might be cheaper :)

Skillmon replying to samcarter

it's not only the title, it's the entire contents (QR code included), the whole block is slightly rotated.

Hold on to this view, it saves you $100 :)

निरंजन replying to samcarter

Ahh! Great catch. I didn't notice it because I thought that kind of imperfection was intended because of handwriting like font of xkcd :D

samcarter replying to निरंजन

Have a look at the top margin, the left side of the title is higher than the right side.

निरंजन replying to samcarter

5 minutes into this now and I still haven't found the rotation bug. How bad am I in typography! :cry:

Although it can surely use some better organization.

It was working, but I was not checking emails.

No hurry, I was just not sure if the github ping worked, so I thought I would ping you here.

samcarter replying to निरंजन

Welcome back! I hope you had nice holidays!

CarLaTeX replying to निरंजन

Of course!

निरंजन replying to CarLaTeX

Oh of course we played it in schools, but using LaTeX for that was fun!

CarLaTeX replying to निरंजन

We played that game at school, too :D

निरंजन

I will respond there

निरंजन replying to samcarter

I just saw all the emails. I was on a vacation

Great news!

निरंजन replying to CarLaTeX

Back in my MA days, there was a conference. Me and one of my colleagues were bored. I had written a custom code for this and we were playing this game all the time. It's so much fun in LaTeX. Glad that there is a package for killing time during boring lectures... :P

I'm looking forward to see you in chat during the conference to complain about either staying up too late or, in my case, getting up too early :)

barbara beeton replying to samcarter

I did *try* to base my calculation on the difference shown and the time shown in the schedule, but maybe I had better try again.  You're quite right that 23:30 is a better time for a midnight snack.
