8 Using `insert path` we can add things to the background of the node, and using a `pic` we can draw things with independent options. The following does exactly that:

you mean you can't delete the question? Or you can't reverse the changes in your document?

topnush

I found a (n wholly obscure) solution to my footnote dagger question but it seems I can't delete it now

hi all

samcarter replying to Skillmon

(although I'm not sure I believe the autumn bit, temperatures feel more like winter :P )

Skillmon replying to Dr. Manuel Kuehner

(and I'm not that knowledgeable with fonts, sorry..)

Dr. Manuel Kuehner replying to Skillmon

🤣

samcarter replying to Skillmon

Sure! That would be fun!

Skillmon

(and it's something I actually want to solve myself)

Skillmon

@samcarter I have an idea for a task in the AoC series (since it's autumn by now), might I hijack it?

Skillmon replying to Dr. Manuel Kuehner

not my fault that I don't have many questions :P

samcarter replying to Dr. Manuel Kuehner

Thanks! It's going, just a bit slower than I hoped.

samcarter replying to Dr. Manuel Kuehner

Yes, it looks quite useful. I think it could simplify things like https://topanswers.xyz/tex?q=583

Dr. Manuel Kuehner replying to samcarter

Thx! Hope your thesis is going well.

samcarter replying to Dr. Manuel Kuehner

The tex part is certainly still active - for the other parts I can't say.

Dr. Manuel Kuehner replying to samcarter

That's a cool package!

Dr. Manuel Kuehner

Looking at other groups, like code golf, it seems even worse (last post 3 years ago if I understand correctly).

Dr. Manuel Kuehner

General question :). I was inactive for some time due to job stress. Is this site still active? My impression is that it is not really active.

Package in the spotlight: [jobname-suffix](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/jobname-suffix)

Skillmon replying to topnush

`\kern` is a space that doesn't allow line breaks, `\hspace` and `\hskip` do.

samcarter replying to topnush

alternatively you could use `\hspace{...}` or `\hskip...` , really depends on the use case....

topnush

\kern0.08334em  seems to do it

topnush

How can I make a really small horizontal space that is smaller than "\\;"or "\\," ?

(everybody can blow up things with this package, no need to study chemistry :) )

Let's see how long :P

and good morning :)

Hehe! :D

CarLaTeX replying to निरंजन

LaTeX users are very good at combinatorics!

निरंजन replying to CarLaTeX

`hi!`, `hi!!`, `Hi`, `Hi!!`, `HI`, `HI!`, `hI`, `hI!`, `hI!!`.

CarLaTeX replying to Skillmon

hI is missing

Skillmon replying to CarLaTeX

HI!!

Hi!

barbara beeton replying to samcarter

Yes!  Phinney is well known in the font community, and has branched out in some quite unusual and interesting directions.  Thanks!

samcarter

... and this collection of potentially interesting articles https://thefontdetective.com/articles-by/

@barbara Maybe you'll find some of the blogs by this font detective interesting https://www.thomasphinney.com/2009/02/bob-hayes-nfl-forgery/

Nice comic sans bashing in the first part of this podcast https://audioboom.com/posts/7243055-no-such-thing-as-an-innocent-pisces-sign (the part after that, about Robert Hook, is a bit NSFW)

samcarter replying to JeT

Oh, that seems to be an interesting project! Thanks for sharing!

JeT

[DataTeX](https://github.com/CSMathematics/DataTex) Looks interesting (?). Do you know any other such tool to manage (in a way that `jabref`) projects with loads (>1500) file ? Candid question...

samcarter

... although personally I'd either leave this task to the pdf viewer or the  system. Skim and texstudio both have options to invert the colours in the pdf and with tools like f.lux one can invert the complete display.
