  1. Is there anyone in the #TeXLaTeX community who could test something for me?

    I've updated my #MikTeX installation for the first time in six months, and now my imakeidx setup has ceased to work.

    To be precise, it only works if a particular index has three or less entries - and it gets buggy if it has four or more entries. And I _cannot_ figure out why.

    I would appreciate it if anyone can replicate this error. And if anyone has a solution, I'd be all ears!

  2. @nix

    [1/2] A bit techy, but relevant to writers in all fields.

    In the 1970s, computer scientist #DonaldKnuth was unhappy with the quality of the #typesetting for his books. Being #Knuth, he wrote a new programming language to do the job on the computer. This is #TeX, the programme, pronounced "tek" or "tech". An active community develops user-friendly higher-level packages, called #TeXLaTeX.

    There are free implementations for most environments. On Windows I use the #MikTex app.

  3. Zu Testzwecken installiere ich gerade ein #miktex als portable Installation.

    Die Anleitung dazu sagt:

    - Download the installer (basic-miktex-*.exe)
    - Rename the installer to miktex-portable.exe

    Und ja das Ding macht wirklich abhängig vom Dateinamen komplett unterschiedliche Dinge.

  4. Ist #MikTeX immer so langsam?

    Ich teste gerade ein paar Dinge und irgendwie dauert das alles unter MikTeX deutlich länger. Unabhängig vom Betriebsystem. (Windows ist aber nochmal extra langsam im vergleich zu Linux.)
