% symbol leads to superlong (forever?) compilations












14















This problem occurs when I am trying to improve my answer in this question.




You can compile this code very well



documentclass[tikz]{standalone}

usetikzlibrary{bending,decorations.text}

begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}

sffamily

node (a) at (-2,0) {probability};

node[align=center] (b) at (2,0) {percent\change};

draw[-latex,postaction={decorate,decoration={raise=1ex,text along path,text align=center,text={multiply by 100}}}] (a) to[out=60,in=120] (b);

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}


enter image description here



but don't compile this code!



documentclass[tikz]{standalone}

usetikzlibrary{bending,decorations.text}

begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}

sffamily

node (a) at (-2,0) {probability};

node[align=center] (b) at (2,0) {percent\change};

draw[-latex,postaction={decorate,decoration={raise=1ex,text along path,text align=center,text={multiply by 100%}}}] (a) to[out=60,in=120] (b);

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}


I have been waiting for more than 200 seconds



enter image description here



Why? I just want to add a percent symbol (%)!



I think TikZ understood my % as %, but removing the throws many errors.



I even used siunitx, but got the same result.



documentclass[tikz]{standalone}

usetikzlibrary{bending,decorations.text}

usepackage{siunitx}

begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}

sffamily

node (a) at (-2,0) {probability};

node[align=center] (b) at (2,0) {percent\change};

draw[-latex,postaction={decorate,decoration={raise=1ex,text along path,text align=center,text={multiply by SI{100}{percent}}}}] (a) to[out=60,in=120] (b);

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}


So, what's going on?

    Very nice your 2nd image: How do I find the compilation time? Do you have any specific software where you can see the build time? My regards.

  • @Sebastiano I use VS Code. The LaTeX Workshop extension gives me a link to see the compilation process, which I don't use really often, but it is very useful in strange situations, like this situation.

    The infinite loop is triggered by any unexpandable control sequence token, even by relax (except implicit character tokens that raise errors). Bracing the token is the right way to go.

You only need to wrap % into {...}.

    @JouleV for that I'd have to dig through the internals of TikZ, which isn't something I feel like right now, sorry.

You can make this work by changing the % character to not be the comment character anymore using catcode:



documentclass[tikz]{standalone}

usetikzlibrary{bending,decorations.text}

begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}

sffamily

node (a) at (-2,0) {probability};

node[align=center] (b) at (2,0) {percent\change};

begin{scope}

catcode`%=12

draw[-latex,postaction={decorate,decoration={raise=1ex,text along path,text

align=center,text={multiply by 100%}}}] (a) to[out=60,in=120] (b);

end{scope}

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

Bunad

Tradisjonelle folkedrakter frå Aust-Telemark, truleg frå 1880-åra. Drakter som dette er grunnlaget for moderne bunadar. Foto: Axel Lindahl Bunad frå Eggedal i Buskerud fotografert i 1906. Bunad (frå kledebunad , der norrønt «búnaðr» har same rot som (føre)bu) er ei samnemning brukt om klesdrakter i tradisjonell nordisk stil — ofte utvikla frå folkedrakter, men likevel i ein eigen tradisjon. Ein bunad er typisk ei forseggjort og kostbar drakt, med mykje broderi, og med handsmidde smykke i gull eller sølv, særleg dei særeigne søljene, som obligatorisk prynad i tillegg. Bunad og bunadbruk er eit debattemne med mange ulike oppfatningar, til dømes om kva som er ein bunad, og om ein kan endra på utforminga av draktene eller ikkje. Den norske bunadrørsla går tilbake til folkedansrørsla og føregangsfolk som Hulda Garborg og Klara Semb. I dag blir bunad brukt som nasjonaldrakt. Festbunad er likestilt med galla-antrekk, og ofte nytta ved særskilde høve, som konfirmasjonar eller d

Grani í vetrarfeldi. Færeyski hesturinn (færeyska: Føroyska rossið ) er hestur sem hefur lifað í Færeyjum í hundruði ára. Hann er smágerður, 120-132 cm á hæð, og helst skyldur hjaltlandshestinum. Hlutverk hans var að draga vagna og plóg og bera klyfjar. Hann hefur fjórar gangtegundir eins og íslenski hesturinn (þar með talið tölt) og er með fjölda litaafbrigði. Nú til dags er hann notaður til frístunda. Í lok 19. aldar voru til um 800 hross. Mörg þeirra voru seld til Bretlands til að vinna í kolanámum og um 1960 voru aðeins nokkrir hestar eftir. Átak var gert í að varðveita hestinn og eru nú til 70-80 hross í Færeyjum. [1] Heimild |   Wikimedia Commons er með margmiðlunarefni sem te
