https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682062 | 5 | I have a relatively complicated table with a lot of manual adjustments to the column widths and spacing that I am trying to convert to a `standalone` pdf (for the purpose of ultimately inserting it into a Word Doc). The original table text is below:
```
\begin{table}[h!]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabularx}{0.7\textwidth}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}X >{\raggedleft\arraybackslash}X }
\hline
\hline
\vspace{1mm}
& Initiate conflict \\
\Xhline{2\arrayrulewidth}

Third = non-binary/non-conforming & $-0.18$ \\
& $(0.12)$ \\
(Intercept) & $0.35^{***}$ \\

Any guidance on how to successfully make this work in a document type `standalone` would be greatly appreciated. Alternatively, if there is an easier way to put such a table into a Word Doc, I am open to suggestions.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/294538 | LaTeX Table to Standalone? | false | I would personally combine values with uncertainties in one line. I find it clearer to read. Also since `siunitx` parses uncertainties this way, it's possible to use an alternative format if you add `separate-uncertainty` to settings.
The code below also employ `threeparttable` (inpsired by [Mico](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/682065/31283)'s answer) in order to stack two separate tables and maintain centred alignment where uncertainties are not included.

and if 12<x<1 \frac{1}{2} < x < 1 , ψ(x)=2x−1\psi(x) = 2x - 1 .
So for any [a,b]⊂[0,1)[a,b] \subset [ 0 , 1 ) , we separate
ψ−1([a,b])\psi^{-1}([a,b]) into
two parts i.e
\begin{align*}

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/294569 | Overleaf math mode misplacing bug? | true | My guess is that you really need to check your browser settings: Not only have lots of instances of `$` gone missing, but there are also (at least) six instances -- in just the code fragment you've posted -- of inline math expressions having been "doubled up". E.g., `ψ(x)=2x<1` is prefixed to `\psi(x) = 2x < 1`, `12<x<1` is prefixed to `\frac{1}{2} < x < 1`, etc.
Not being much on Overleaf user myself, all I can suggest is that you contact their helpdesk directly and ask them for assistance in fixing your browser settings.
Anyway, after supplying the missing instances of `$`, commenting out the funky code doublets, and addressing other, slightly odd aspects of your code -- e.g., by replacing `\; \rvert \;` with `\bigm\vert` -- one is left with the following code, which may be close to what you actually want.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682100 | 2 | I have created an article with a bibliography (natbib + BibDesk, using commands `\citet` and `\citep`). Since I have to submit the .tex file, and my master file.bib is very big, I need a .bib file containing just the items cited in my paper. Is there an easy way to do this on iMac?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/85519 | Extract short .bib file from paper | true | Yes, there is an easy way to do this.
When you run LaTeX on your .tex file, it generates an .aux file in the same folder.
In [BibDesk](https://bibdesk.sourceforge.io/) and [Better BibTeX for Zotero](https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/) and [JabRef](https://www.jabref.org/) (and perhaps in other reference management software as well), there is a command that selects or exports all the bibliography items that are cited in an .aux file.
In BibDesk, the relevant command is the menu item **Database → Select Publications from .aux File** (*or* simply drag the .aux file onto the main table of publications). In Better BibTeX for Zotero, the command is **Tools → Scan BibTeX AUX file for references**. In JabRef, the command is **Tools** → **New subdatabase based on AUX file**.
Then export the selected items to a new .bib file.
If you prefer to use the command line, Gerd Neugebauer's multipurpose [BibTool](https://ctan.org/pkg/bibtool) could be a good choice, as it provides a simple command-line option for the task: `bibtool -x document.aux -o document.bib`.

*I edited the question trying to give more cartesian organization to the whole endeavour. Changed also the code provided with something closer to correctness (I hope).*
I would like to use a standard book document and change the numbering of pages inside fancyhdr. In particular I want the pages to be printed in hex style 0xABCD.
I have tried almost everything (i am not posting all the code attempts here because it would be embarassing), namely:
1. pythonTex (just after immediatepython): stuck at trying to pass a LaTex counter before the counter really could be updated into the document. I renounced after 2 days.
2. hex package (very old by Eric Domenjoud) but it is still using documentstyle and I got stuck in converting a old /usename directive
3. tried also binhex package but same problem: counter expansion.
Now I am trying to make it work with fmtcount package.
My preamble contain this fancyheader part before the document begins (just on top of it there are few experiments with the counters):
```
\newcounter{hexapages}
\newcommand\showhexapagesStepOne{%
\setcounter{hexapages}{\thepage}%
\thehexapages%
}
\newcommand\showhexapagesStepTwo{% If I make showhexapagesStepOne work, this will work as well
\setcounter{hexapages}{\thepage}%
\HEXADecimal(hexapages)% or maybe thehexapages ???
}
\setlength{\headheight}{15pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{ \markboth{#1}{} }
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{ \markright{#1} }
\fancyhf{}

\fancyhead[RE]{\textit{ \nouppercase{\leftmark}} }
\fancyhead[LO]{\textit{ \nouppercase{\rightmark}} }
\fancyheadoffset[LE]{14mm}
```
The current error is:
(foreword.tex
! Missing number, treated as zero.
i
l.9
[I think Latex is trying to apply the conversion to something that is numbered in roman style...so I should differentiate between frontmatter and mainmatter....]
What seems to fail is trying to pass any counter (predefined as \thepage or custom made as \thehexapages) into any placeholder of fancy header.
The first attemtps with PythonTex were intended to create a macro that was doing the translation of any number into its hex conversion, but failed when the argument became counters.
How should I do it? Why fancyheader takes \thepage like a charm and refuses whatever else?
If a try HEXADecimalnum{459} it prints correctly "1CB". So, it is not the fmtcount package giving issues.
Start of EDIT2: The new code is:
```
\newcounter{hexapages}

```
This allows me to remove any heading and numbering in the frontmatter and leaves the fancy style only for the mainmatter.
THe point is: now it prints arabic numbers correctly in the LE and RO angles using showhexapagesStepOne.
When I switch to the StepTwo (the one containing the conversion) I get the error:

Any clue?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/294568 | Change page numbering in preamble - latex counter modification - hexadecimal conversion | false | The `\hex` command needs a number as its argument. When you use something like `\hex{\thepage}`, you should keep in mind that `\thepage` is sensitive to context. In `\frontmatter` it doesn't print numbers. Instead, it prints letters. To see what I mean, try this:
```
\documentclass{book}

\verb|\thepage| prints \thepage.
\mainmatter
\verb|\thepage| prints \thepage.

So something like `\hex{\thepage}` will obviously give you a `Missing number` error when `\frontmatter` is active, because, well, a number is actually missing! :)
So the solution can be *much* simpler:
```
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\input{binhex}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\pagenumbering{arabic}% \thepage will produce numbers.
\cfoot{\hex{\thepage}}
\lipsum[1-50]
\end{document}
```
I don't know much about the hex style of numbering, but I can see `A` on page 10. So I suppose it is working.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/681408 | 1 | I'm using latexdiff to produce a diff between the following two latex files.
Original:
```
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
\item{First item}

\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
\item{1st item}
\item{2nd item}
\item{3rd item}

```
Unfortunately, it fails to produce a diff for the items in the diff file.
From the output of `latexdiff --show-config`:
```
ITEMCMD=item
LISTENV=(?:(?:itemize)|(?:description)|(?:enumerate))
```
it seems that the tool is aware of the `enumerate` environment and the `list` command.
Is diffing the `enumerate` environment a feature which latexdiff supports at all? Is this a bug? Or am I missing something here?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/294091 | latexdiff does not diff enumerate environment | true | Indeed this is a bug as reported in:
<https://github.com/ftilmann/latexdiff/issues/241>
A workaround is to not use parentheses around each item. Then this works as expected.

*I edited the question trying to give more cartesian organization to the whole endeavour. Changed also the code provided with something closer to correctness (I hope).*
I would like to use a standard book document and change the numbering of pages inside fancyhdr. In particular I want the pages to be printed in hex style 0xABCD.
I have tried almost everything (i am not posting all the code attempts here because it would be embarassing), namely:
1. pythonTex (just after immediatepython): stuck at trying to pass a LaTex counter before the counter really could be updated into the document. I renounced after 2 days.
2. hex package (very old by Eric Domenjoud) but it is still using documentstyle and I got stuck in converting a old /usename directive
3. tried also binhex package but same problem: counter expansion.
Now I am trying to make it work with fmtcount package.
My preamble contain this fancyheader part before the document begins (just on top of it there are few experiments with the counters):
```
\newcounter{hexapages}
\newcommand\showhexapagesStepOne{%
\setcounter{hexapages}{\thepage}%
\thehexapages%
}
\newcommand\showhexapagesStepTwo{% If I make showhexapagesStepOne work, this will work as well
\setcounter{hexapages}{\thepage}%
\HEXADecimal(hexapages)% or maybe thehexapages ???
}
\setlength{\headheight}{15pt}

\fancyhead[RE]{\textit{ \nouppercase{\leftmark}} }

```
The current error is:

What seems to fail is trying to pass any counter (predefined as \thepage or custom made as \thehexapages) into any placeholder of fancy header.
The first attemtps with PythonTex were intended to create a macro that was doing the translation of any number into its hex conversion, but failed when the argument became counters.
How should I do it? Why fancyheader takes \thepage like a charm and refuses whatever else?
If a try HEXADecimalnum{459} it prints correctly "1CB". So, it is not the fmtcount package giving issues.

This allows me to remove any heading and numbering in the frontmatter and leaves the fancy style only for the mainmatter.
THe point is: now it prints arabic numbers correctly in the LE and RO angles using showhexapagesStepOne.
When I switch to the StepTwo (the one containing the conversion) I get the error:
```

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/294568 | Change page numbering in preamble - latex counter modification - hexadecimal conversion | false | Ganzo! I was just succeeding in posting the answer to this life draining issue while Niranjan commented. I found a solution with `fmtcount` package but he did not. Niranjan used `binhex`. How is that possible? I gave up on that!
So, I tried again starting from my latest solution (the one I was writing the answer with) including his great hint on `binhex`. Actually `binhex` is fundamentally better **because it pads to the required alignment** in a matter of seconds! And in fact here below the solutionw ith both the packages. I will use `binhex` as proposed in the comment. **Really thanks!**

There is not even need for any proxy counter (`\thepage` fits perfectly once the `fancyhdr` directives are placed after document begins). I don't really know what I was doing wrong. Probably in the many many attempts I meesed up everything and lost sight on the solution. Anyway this is the only question on this aspect that I found on SO! or SE! so I am posting the solution for future use.
A final note: the real issue was mainly connected to the usage of nested `thepage`before`\begin{document}`. I think special attention is necessary in such a case becaue the macro should not be expanded at definition but only when there is a real page to number underneath (so in the mainmatter usually).

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682149 | 1 | I would like to replace a fill in the blank with the answer. My question is related to this question: [How to make a fill-in-the-blank presentation](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/169898/how-to-make-a-fill-in-the-blank-presentation/682139)
But I have a few additional specifications on my wishlist:
1. I want to replace the underline, so really what I'm after is replace-the-blank, not fill-in-the-blank.
2. I want to put a question mark horizontally centered in the middle of the blank (so it stands out more to students exactly where it is). I will color the question mark and the blank line.
3. I do not want any jumping when transitioning from the overlays.
4. I want the command to work inside math and outside.
I'll paste my naive attempt below. It has a couple of problems: I don't know how to put a question mark that is horizontally centered over the blank; and there is a jump on the last overlay, which I imagine is because the underline takes up some vertical space.
```
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{ulem}

\item One plus one is \doblankQ{two}.
\item And in math: $ 1 + 1 = \doblankQ{2}$.
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
```
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/12212 | An alt fill-in-the-blank with question in the middle | true | To avoid the jumping problem you could `\smash` the underline to avoid it influencing the vertical space.
To add a `?` in the middle, I suggest to measure the width of the gap and then use `\makebox[<width of the gap>]{?}` instead of `\phantom{#1}`:
```
\documentclass{beamer}

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/292824 | hyperref and pagenote: No web links containing umlauts shown in pagenotes | true | In the comments Ulrike Fischer gave the answer:
Use `\#` and `\%` within the url address instead of leaving the `#` and `%` alone.
Second I found that tex4ebook has problems with this solution, it needs a "plain" url address. So I used the `\urldef{\myurl}\url{Some-complete-and-plain-url-address}`, which is described in the `url package` and used by the `hyperref package`. Which solved the problem only partly.
It turned out that a problem then arises with the `ebgaramond font package` while running tex4ebook. Which forced me to use another font package, that I integrated to my `preamble` as follows:
```
...
\ifdefined\HCode
\usepackage{Somefontpackage}% which is loaded when tex4ebook is running
\else
\usepackage{Someotherfontpackage}% which is loaded when pdflatex is running

```

```
\documentclass{article}
\renewcommand{\textbf}{\textbf}
\begin{document}
abc \textbf{text}
\end{document}
```
This came up for me recently because a large project stopped compiling due to a mistaken change in a package file that included a line like `\renewcommand\foo{ ... \foo ... }`. Because no error is produced, it took a long time to figure out what was wrong.
My guess is that scanning the argument of `\def\foo` or `\renewcommand\foo` in advance for the token `\foo` is possible, but not feasible in terms of efficiency. Is this correct, or is there another reason no error is produced?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/208544 | no helpful error if command used in its own redefinition | true | with `\def\bf{\bf} \bf` tex is in a loop, such loops are impossible to detect in General ("Turing Halting problem") The good news is that it only gives a non terminating loop as it is a tail recursive macro that uses no stack. It is quite hard to write such a thing by accident. Similar "infinite" loops all give errors
`\def\bf{\bf.}\bf` gives `! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=10000].`
`\def\bf{.\bf}\bf` gives `! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=5000000].`
`\def\bf{{\bf}}\bf` gives `! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [grouping levels=255].`
So automatically detecting cases that loop without error would be hard (even if it were not proved impossible:-)

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682168 | 1 | I created a custom bibliographystyle using `latex makebst` for a journal, and it is mostly right. Unfortunately the DOI and URL to webpages are both in a different font than the rest of the bibliography entry, and the URL will run off the page rather than wrapping to the next line.
the relevant portion of my bst:
```
FUNCTION {format.url}
{
doi empty$
{ url }
{ "http://dx.doi.org/" doi * }
if$
duplicate$ empty$
{ pop$ "" }
{ "\urlprefix\url{" swap$ * "}" * }
if$
}
```
What do I need to change to have the output in the same font as the rest of my reference?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/268801 | URL and DOI are in a different font within Literature Cited | true | The font face that's used when the argument of an `\url` or `\doi` instruction is typeset usually does not dependon the bst file. Assuming that the [url](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/url) package is loaded, the font face is determined by the argument of the `\urlstyle` macro, which (along with `\url` macro itself) is provided by the `url` package. (The `xurl` package also loads `url` package.)
Lets review Section 3, "Style", of the [url](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/url) package -- yes, the entire section consists of a single, six-line paragraph (highlights added):
Many document classes and citation management package either take the system default font face, which is `tt`, or execute something like `\urlstyle{same}`. If you don't like the monospaced font default, feel free to run `\urlstyle{same}` or `\urlstyle{rm}`.
If the url package is *not* loaded, the bst file has to provide a dummy or placeholder definition of `\url`, which -- as you've observed -- is not very smart as it doesn't allow for line breaks in the typeset URL string.
You also wrote:
>

This only happens if you don't load the [url](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/url) (or [xurl](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/xurl), or [hyperref](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperref)) package. I suggest you run `\usepackage{xurl}` in your document.
Finally, you asked,

In addition to loading the `xurl` package, I'd recommend you run `\urlstyle{same}`.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/8458 | 241 | I need to make my (BibTeX) references section appear in the table of contents of my LaTeX document (documentclass: article), with section numbering too.
My approach until now has been making a new section and including the bibliography (`references.bib`) at that point:
```

\bibliography{references}
```
However, the final document shows both the section title that I have written and the section title that BibTeX writes, which is quite redundant and I definitely dislike.
How can I either remove BibTeX's section title, or make the BibTeX bibliography appear in the table of contents without making a new section?

Is there a fix for it? --> Yes, see Answer 1. It worked reducing the epubcheck error number from 123 to 20.
**Update 1**
I now have 20 errors left with epubcheck, which seem all related to the `\pageref{somelabel}` command. epubcheck gives `ERROR(RSC-012) Fragmentbezeichner ist nicht angegeben` and points to the following example in the html files (out of the 20):
```

```
and points to the page number "249". But this `\pageref` is located in ordinary body of text, without embedding in other command and env.
Up to now it was not possible to reproduce the epubcheck error in a MWE.

If you specify a date with just one item, it's taken as month. With two items, the first one is checked to be greater than 1000: in this case it's taken as a year and the second item is a month, otherwise the first item is the month and the second item is the day. With three items, we have year, month and day.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682172 | 1 | I use texlive as packaged for suse tumbleweed.
As i faced some problems with caching I tried
```
kpsewhich --expand-var '$TEXMFVAR'
```
which results in `/var/lib/texmf` which is not writable.
Most probably this is the source of my caching problems.
In various sites I read what TEXMFVAR is:
* The (personal) tree used by texconfig, updmap-user and fmtutil-user to store (cached) runtime data such as format files and generated map files.
* default: `~/.texlive/texmf-var` explanation: updmap and fmtutil (sys mode) to store (cached) runtime data
Hm, I think this does not fit.
I don't have a `~/.texlive` folder.
What I do have is a folder `~/.cache/texmf` with sole subfolder `fonts`.
My first question is, whether my distribution is ok, or plausible.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/60463 | my TEXMFVAR folder is not readable, is my texlive installation ok? | false | Since the OP has it working now, I will promote my comment to an answer.
First: Whenever you install TeXlive, or upgrade to a later year, be sure that the binaries are on your PATH. A few systems may do that automatically, if you install from the operating system rather than directly from TUG. However, the automatic PATH is probably not enable until re-boot. So, re-boot.
Second, TeXlive allows you to state its internal environment variables directly, as part of the environment. Then, it will only use its own variables, if it cannot find what it needs in yours. This is the method that worked for the OP.
For example, suppose TeX is looking for files in `/path/to/somehwere`, but they are in `/this/other/place`. You can do:
```
export TEXWHATEVER=/this/other/place
```
in your user `$HOME/.bashrc` file, then reboot. Now TeX expects its `TEXWHATEVER` environment in `/this/other/place`. In my own setup, the distro TeX is so different from TUG, that I manually define TEXMFROOT this way.
This is especially effective if (as with the OP) TeX needs to write there, but you do not have write privileges. You can re-direct to a somewhere in your home directory, where you do have write privileges.
This is not the only solution. There is also `usermode` which directs many things to a directory of your choice, in user home. The `tlmgr` program help will show you what to do. In general `usermode` is a better approach.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/232842 | Plot infinite series | true | You can approximate the infinite series by truncating it at a certain number of terms. In practice, you should choose a reasonably high number of terms to get a good approximation. In this case, I will show you how to truncate the series at 10 terms.

To make your code more concise, you can use a loop to generate the terms in the sum. Here's an example using your function with t=0.1, 0.2, 1, and 4:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682263 | 1 | The following compiles with `make4ht` but `htlatex` throws some errors. I'm trying to use make4ht to handle multiple files and link between them using `xr-hyper` and `hyperref`. In some cases I want to link to particular sections, equations etc, but in other cases I just want to link to the document. To do this I've set up a typical document that looks something like this, saved as `main.tex`
```
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{xr-hyper}
%hyperlinks and referencing
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[capitalize,nameinlink,noabbrev]{cleveref}
\title{Main file}
\begin{document}
\maketitle \label{main file}
\section{First Section}
\begin{equation} \label{equation}
\int f(x) dx
\end{equation}
\end{document}
```
The idea of the label just after the title is so that it can be linked to from other files, with out specifying a particular section, equation or theorem etc. In another file, if I have something like
```
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{xr-hyper}
%hyperlinks and referencing
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[capitalize,nameinlink,noabbrev]{cleveref}
\externaldocument[main-]{main}
\begin{document}
\hyperref[main-main file]{the main file}
\end{document}
```
Then `htlatex` gives errors of the form
```
[STATUS] make4ht: Conversion started
[STATUS] make4ht: Input file: ref.tex
[ERROR] htlatex: Compilation errors in the htlatex run
[ERROR] htlatex: Filename Line Message
[ERROR] htlatex: ./ref.tex 34 Argument of \xr:rEfLiNK has an extra }.
[ERROR] htlatex: ./ref.tex 34 Paragraph ended before \xr:rEfLiNK was complete.
```
This isn't an issue with only one file, and the output produced is as expected even with the errors, but in examples with lots of files referencing each other there seems to be too many errors for make4ht to handle. The above example works well with `pdflatex`.
There are no issues if the equation or section is labeled and referenced instead of the label after the title.
Is there a better way to link to the whole document, rather than using a label at the top of the page? I suppose what I've written above isn't best practice as the `\label` after the title doesn't actually have anything to reference.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/292574 | make4ht multiple files hyperref issues with labels at the top of the file | true | This is not so simple. TeX4ht needs to insert a destination link for label to the document, which it usually does in sectioning command, or other command that declares an object for cross-references. When you use `\label` at the beginning of the document, no such command had been called, so there is no destination. Other issue is that when you use Hyperref, every cross-reference needs to have assigned some special macros.
I would change your main document in this way:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{xr-hyper}
%hyperlinks and referencing
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[capitalize,nameinlink,noabbrev]{cleveref}
\makeatletter
\newcommand\currentdoc[1]{\edef\@currentlabel{#1}\label{#1}}
\makeatother
\title{Main file}
\begin{document}
\maketitle \currentdoc{main file}
\section{First Section}
\begin{equation} \label{equation}
\int f(x) dx
\end{equation}
\end{document}
```
As you can see, I've changed first `\label` to `\currentdoc`. Now in a config file, you can redefine this command to have a necessary form for TeX4ht:
```
\Preamble{xhtml}
\makeatletter
\catcode`\:=11
\renewcommand\currentdoc[1]{%
% the value of \@currentlabel is not important in our case, so we can just use the parameter
\edef\@currentlabel{#1}%
% these two are needed to fix hyperref errors
\gdef\NR:Title{\a:newlabel{#1}}%
\gdef\NR:Type{doc}%
% insert link destination to the document
\AnchorLabel%
% and now you can call label
\label{#1}%
}
\catcode`\:=12
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\EndPreamble
```
I've added some comments to the code, I hope that it makes sense.
Now you can compile the main file using:
```
$ make4ht -c config.cfg main.tex
```
After that, the `main.aux` file should be safe for inclusion from other files.

However, you can calculate a sum up to a specific point.
The macro `\RepeatFunction{*s*}{*e*}` should help you here. It simply repeats a given function for all integer values *n* between `*s*` and `*e*`.
The function it should use can be specified by using `repeatable function` where `#1` stands for the value *n*.
Since your function is also parametrized, I also added a `sinsin t` value-key which is used by the repeatable function.
If you only want to plot this function once (for a given *t*) you will need to figure out yourself at which *n* to stop.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/232842 | Plot infinite series | false | I found your question difficult to interpret so I need to explain my approach a bit more. First, your question is "I want to draw a function defined as infinite serie[s] using pgfplots. Is that possible and how?". The answer, as Zarko indicated will necessarily involve a finite number of terms. It won't be exact.
So I will explain how to plot 1 infinite series, under the assumption that `t=.1`.
When you are getting into more complicated mathematics, it's important to be aware that the accuracy of your calculations and plots might not be correct; `pgfplots` is not a computer algebra system (CAS), after all. I find it helpful to first determine what the answer should be using a CAS. After that, use the sagetex package to incorporate the CAS plots/calculations into your LaTeX document. You talked about fixing a value of `t` first, so I picked `t=.1` and went to a [Sage Cell Server](https://sagecell.sagemath.org/) where you can copy/paste the following code:
```
def f(t,n):
return (sin(2*n*t)*sin(n*x))/(n^2)
g(x)=sum(f(.1,n) for n in range(1,21))
h(x)=sum(f(.1,n) for n in range(1,201))
P1=plot(g(x),(x,0,3.14))
P2=plot(h(x),(x,0,3.14),color="red")
(P1+P2).show()
```
Press the `Enter` button and you'll get the output below:
From this output, I see that graphing 20 terms of the series gives me a pretty good estimate, which is what I'll use in my LaTeX document. You should experiment to find the value of `n` that you think works best. Why did I say 20 terms? Because `range(1,21)` is Python and it doesn't run that last value, so the plot I'm using sums up the first 20 terms. Notice also that I have defined f(t,n) in general. You will be able to easily change `t` to whatever you want. What we want `pgfplots` to plot now is `g(x)` but since we can't trust the numerical accuracy of this for complicated math, we will use the [sagetex](https://ctan.org/pkg/sagetex?lang=en) to link the Sage CAS calculations to our document. The code is below:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{sagetex,xcolor,pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.16}
\begin{document}
\begin{sagesilent}
def f(t,n):
return (sin(2*n*t)*sin(n*x))/(n^2)
g(x)=sum(f(.1,n) for n in range(1,21))
x_coords = [x for x in srange(0,6.28,.01)]
y_coords = [g(x).n(digits=4) for x in x_coords]
output = r"\begin{tikzpicture}"
output += r"\begin{axis}[xmin=0,xmax=6.28,ymin= -.5,ymax=.5,"
output += r"xlabel=$x$,ylabel=$y$,axis x line=middle,axis y line=middle,"
output += r"grid style=dashed]"
output += r"\addplot[thin, blue] coordinates {"
for i in range(0,len(x_coords)-1):
output += r"(%f , %f) "%(x_coords[i],y_coords[i])
output += r"};"
output += r"\end{axis}"
output += r"\end{tikzpicture}"
\end{sagesilent}
\sagestr{output}
\end{document}
```
The output, running in Cocalc, is shown below:
Note, I changed the graph so that it goes about 2pi (about 6.28). The
line `x_coords = [x for x in srange(0,6.28,.01)]` is going to set the x-values to be plotted as 0, .01, ...., 6.27. The line `y_coords = [g(x).n(digits=4) for x in x_coords]` says, to calculate g(x) for each x-value, but we force the answer to be a decimal (with 4 significant figures) so that pgfplots can handle it. Notice that using `Sage` along with `sagetex` lets you avoid typing out the 20 terms in sin(2(1)(.1))\*sin((1)x))/(1^2)+....+sin(2(20)(.1))\*sin((20)x))/(20^2). Finally, it may seem odd to insert the code as a raw string; that's done because processing the document is, behind the scenes, a 3 step process: first, the LaTeX code must run as is, then the Python/Sage code must run without error and then the document is processed 1 more time to put the Python/Sage output into the LaTeX document. Without strings it's more likely the code will not run under LaTex during the first pass.
[Sage](https://www.sagemath.org/) is a free CAS which is not part of LaTeX. You can download it to your computer and get it to work with LaTeX but the easiest way to get started is to open a free [Cocalc](https://cocalc.com/) account, create a LaTeX document there, copy/paste the code in and press `Build`.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682277 | 2 | Let's assume that we have a huge LaTeX document, out of which we produce a PostScript version via `latex`+`dvips` and a PDF version via `lualatex`. Compiling everything from scratch (without any auxiliary files from previous runs) takes long (on my current machine with its current background load, it takes over 1.5 h). Thus, whenever we wish to produce both versions, we would like to save some work and keep as much useful stuff in the auxiliary files as possible (we spend only 68% to 78% of time when reusing the old auxiliary files). However, we get an error on the standard output when we run `lualatex` *after* `latex` (we assume exactly this order in this particular question) as follows.
To demonstrate the error on a small example, we prepare a file `mwe.tex` containing
```

\begin{document}

```
(./mwe.aux
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> r@sect:

l.10 \newlabel{sect:title}{{1}{1}}
?
```
on the standard tty output. Is there a bug / issue / unintended behavior hiding anywhere (e.g., in `babel`)? How to process `mwe.aux` (while retaining as much useful data as possible there) after the run of `latex` and before the run of `lualatex` such that the error goes away? We wish to noninteractively edit the auxiliary file, say, via `sed` or `awk`.

The function is given by

One can give `t` some fixed values say `t=0.1, 0.2, 1, 4`, and try to draw the function of `x` only, but still blocked with the infinite sum.
In fact, what i can do is working with single function, say if n=2 or 3 or any fixed value in N. But with infinite sum i have no idea.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/232842 | Plot infinite series | false | This infinite sum is very slowly convergent because you expect an absolute error of order `1/N` if using `N` terms. This means roughly that if you want one more decimal, you need ten times as many terms. For graphics assuming `1` maps to say `1cm`, you should aim at a precision of say `0.1mm`, knowing though that the final plot if continuous will apply some interpolation using Bézier curves (using straight segments will display visible slope changes). This means (I have not estimated too seriously) you will start this knowing you need about 100 terms. As implied constant matters, perhaps 20 terms will be about enough. Then, mind the numerical precision of the computations.
As explained in other answers it seems you need to do some work with TikZ and there is no simple syntax of the type `add(sin(2n*t)sin(n*x)/n^2, n from 1 to N)`.
I have been pointed out by some colleague from the back office department who had some degree in string theory that you can express by an exact formula the sum, in this case (apparently mathematicians are not always able to do so). First of all `u(t,x) = (v(2t-x)-v(2t+x))/2` with
```
v(y) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\cos(n y)}{n^2}
```
[It is known](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_polynomials#Fourier_series) that `v(2\pi u)` is up to a factor the one-periodic function which on interval `[0,1]` has value `B_2(u)` where `B_2` is the second Bernoulli polynomial, `B_2(u) = u^2 - u + 1/6`. Precisely
```
\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\cos(2\pi n u)}{n^2} = \pi^2B_2(\{u\})
```
where `\{u\}` is the fractional part. This is actually one of the well-known proofs based on Fourier series of Euler evaluation of `\sum 1/n^2 = \pi^2/6` as we see by plugging-in `u=0`.
To sum up
```
\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\sin(2n t)\sin(nx)}{n^2} =
\frac{\pi^2}2\left(B_2(\{\frac{2t-x}{2\pi}\})-
B_2(\{\frac{2t+x}{2\pi}\})\right)
```
The left hand-side is `\pi`-periodic in `t` and `2\pi`-periodic in `x` and odd. So I will assume `0<x<\pi` and `0<t<\pi`. Also let `x'=x/2\pi` so that `0<x'<1/2` and `t' = t/2\pi`. I will simplify here for comparing with the plots in other pictures and assume not only `0<t'<1/2` but `0<t'<1/4` so `0<2t'+x' < 1` and the second contribution with `B_2` is `B_2(2t'+x')`. (one can use oddness in `t` to always reduce to this case `0<t<\pi/2`). So
* `0<x'<2t'<1/2`: we get `(2t'-x')^2 - (2t'-x') + 1/6 - (x'+2t')^2 + (x'+2t') - 1/6 = -8x't'+2x' = (2 - 8t') x'` and let's not forget the multiplicative factor `\pi^2/2`. Hence a linear growth reaching the value `2\pi^2(1 - 4t')t'` at `x'=2t'`. As `t'=t/2\pi`, this is `t(\pi - 2t)`. For example for `t=0.1` we get `0.294159...`. Hopefully I got those computations right, will correct and repent if not later on, but this is reaching beyond my TeX knowledge here.
* `2t'<x'<1/2`: now `2t'-x'<0` so we use evenness of `B_2(\{u\})` and replace it with `x'-2t'` so that can apply the formula and we get (up to the `\pi^2/2`: `(x'-2t')^2 - (x'-2t') + 1/6 - (x'+2t')^2 + (x'+2t') - 1/6 = -8t'x' +4t' = 4t'(1 - 2x')` which is linear decrease towards value `0` at `x'= 0.5` and starts for `x'=2t'` at `4t'(1-4t')` (times `\pi^2/2`, so `t(\pi-2t)` which (at it should) is same value as found before.
So we can explain the exact shape of the limit graph with infinitely many terms: it is on `(0,\pi)` (for `t<\pi/2`) composed of two straight segments joining at the point with Cartesian coordinates `(2t,(\pi - 2t)t` and being with zero ordinate at `x=0` and `x=\pi`. I tried to reconstitute from my Physics Ph.D. colleagues hastened explications, so don't use this for homework without independent counseling.

`\item` is a classical LaTeX command.
With classical LaTeX commands optional arguments are implemented as `]`-delimited macro arguments. If with such commands you nest optional arguments, then the first `]` will be taken for the matching delimiter of the outermost optional argument although it should be taken for the delimiter of the innermost optional argument and a subsequent `]` should be taken for the matching delimiter of the outermost optional argument. Delimiter-matching with delimited macro arguments is not the same as curly-brace-matching with undelimited macro arguments.
(Unlike with classical commands, with non-classical commands defined in terms of xparse-facilities like `\NewDocumentCommand` some extra effort is done for keeping track of nested `[` and doing proper `]`-matching.)
As you already mentioned in the question, if with traditional LaTeX commands it comes to nesting optional arguments, then the entire(!) content of outer optional arguments should be nested in curly braces for ensuring correct delimiter-matching. Curly braces "hide" `]`-delimiters of inner optional arguments from being taken for a matching delimiter of outer optional arguments. As surrounding the entire argument, the curly braces will be removed/stripped off in the process of gathering the tokens belonging to the argument and thus do no harm at all.
`\item[{\Month{4}[8]}]`: Here the curly braces `{...}` ensure that the `]` of `\Month{4}[8]` is not taken for the matching `]`-delimiter of `\item`'s optional argument. As the curly braces surround the *entire* content of `\item`'s optional/`]`-delimited argument, they are discarded in the course of gathering the tokens that form `\item`'s optional argument so that only the tokens `\Month{4}[8]`, but not the surrounding curly braces, are gathered as `\item`'s optional argument.
`\item[{\Month[2023]{4}[8]}]`: Here the curly braces `{...}` ensure that neither the `]` of `\Month[2023]` nor the `]` of `[8]` is taken for the matching `]`-delimiter of `\item`'s optional argument. As the curly braces surround the *entire* content of `\item`'s optional/`]`-delimited argument, they are discarded in the course of gathering the tokens that form `\item`'s optional argument so that only the tokens `\Month[2023]{4}[8]`, but not the surrounding braces, are gathered as `\item`'s optional argument.

In my answer to [How does TeX look for delimited arguments?](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/438600/118714) I tried to explain the differences between TeX's gathering of delimited arguments and TeX's gathering of undelimited arguments.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682120 | 5 | How can I add different kinds of thousand separators and rounding to different kinds of numbers in the same document?
I want to set up that EURO amounts are displayed always rounded to two decimal points and with `.` as thousand separator and `,` as decimal point as this: `1.234,56 €`
All other numbers should use a small space `\,` as thousand separator (and still `.` as decimal point) and not round at all like: `1 234,567 89 g` or `12 345,678 9 m`
I tried with `siunitx` and `numprint` but both only were able to provide one setting for all numbers... and `numprint` also did not display the units correctly or in the font I selected.

Thanks in advance !
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/277899 | Problem using \foreach loop | true | 1. Coordinate calculations like `(1, 2) + (3, 4)` only work with the `calc` library and its `$` syntax.
2. The `\tkzDrawSemiCircle` (like all of the `\tkz…` commands) expect named coordinates in its arguments.
You define them beforehand with `\tkzDefPoint` or `\tkzDefPoints`.
3. But `\tkzDefPoint` won't accept coordinate calculations at all.
4. TeX is greedy and doesn't match parentheses.
In this case, the easiest approach seems to be to define the coordinates with plain TikZ and use `\tkzDrawSemiCircle` with them then.
Since you use `\i` with `()` you will need to use
```
\expandafter\tkzDefPoint\i{origin}
% or
\path \i coordinate (origin);
% or
\coordinate[at=\i](origin);
```
since
```
\coordinate (origin) at \i;
```
won't work.
The `calc` library doesn't like it either if one of the coordinates including the `()` is in a macro so `($\i+(0,-0.5)$)` doesn't work either but the argumentative
```
\coordinate (through) at ([shift=\i]0,-0.5);
```
does. The `shift` transformation is the same as addition.
Then you can draw the semi circle with

\tkzDrawSemiCircle(origin,through)

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682349 | 4 | What's the makeindex style of the book "[TeXbyTopic](https://ctan.org/tex-archive/info/texbytopic)"?
I use the default style `makeindex TeXbyTopic.idx` to produce the `ind` file
and there are many "Input index error"s in the log file.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/241621 | makeindex style of the book TeXbyTopic | true | ### TL;DR;
Replace
```
\def\cstoidx#1\par{\index{#1@\cs{#1}@}}
```
with
```
\def\cstoidx#1\par{\index{#1@\cs{#1}}}
```
### Long answer
The problem raises because of
```
\def\cstoidx#1\par{\index{#1@\cs{#1}@}}
```
that produces invalid entries in the `.idx` file.
If I change the code into
```
\def\cstoidx#1\par{\index{#1@\cs{#1}}}
```
then the index is produced without errors. Here's the start of the index I obtain
Let's compare it with the index that appears in the version of the book shipped with TeX Live, where all the control sequences are missing.

Edited to reduce the errors in the example. However, it appears I have misunderstood the package documentation. To me, it appears as though the colours and font command are loaded with the package, while the first commenter has told me to fix those. Also, it appears as though it's not really `\linewidth`.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/269662 | How to resize the font size in a longtblr (tabularray)? | false | I slightly streamlined and definitely cleaned your code from errors. If you are going to customise `longtblr`, you should read the [documentation](https://ctan.org/pkg/tabularray), mostly the part related to `longtblr`. It's not so easy to understand at first but makes sense once you have got the idea how themes and custom styles work.
I didn't understand the problem with font size because `10pt` is the default one in regular documents. However, it's possible to set a specific font size for you table, even though document is set to let's say `12pt` (see example). Make sure you put table with `\fontsize` in a group, so it affects only the table.
Here's a working code you can take from. I added a few paragraphs of dummy texts to compare the table with regular content.

Four months on, I thought it a good idea to "report back" here, and I wrote something. Then, I had better thoughts and turned it into a blog post.
You can read it [on the TeX.sx blog](http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2012/08/tex-and-gnu-emacs-a-simpletons-journey/).
---
Prompted by a recent conversation in the chat room, I am thinking of revisiting **emacs** as my source editor. In order to give it a good chance (I have failed with four or five previous attempts over the past ten years or so), I'd like to ask for useful tips, or pointers to larger works, to make this transition from TeXWorks as smooth as possible.
Key features of my *modus operandi* are:
* heavy use of `memoir`, `beamer`, and `tikz`
* structured documents with `\input` and `standalone`
* lualatex (with occasional ventures needed into xelatex or pdflatex), driven by latexmk
* `biblatex` (using bibtex rather than biber, but only through inertia)
* unicode, with no exceptions
* Windows 7
* Ouside TeXWorks, general-purpose PDF viewer: PDF XChange
Among the questions and uncertainties I should like to see addressed (some of which, I accept, may not be directly on-topic -- links may be more suitable in these cases) are these:
* Initial setup of emacs, including (...)TeX-workflow-specific add-ons
* Compilation and preview direct from the emacs environment
* Synchronisation of source and preview
* Auto-completion
* Spelling (EN-GB, PT-BR, ES, and FR)
* Any other hints, bear-traps, and so forth
* A good tutorial
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/344 | A simpleton's guide to (...)TeX workflow with emacs | false | There are lots of great answers here already. One issue I've always faced is with the insertion of graphics objects on slides. I use tikz (with overlay) for this but getting the coordinates right in the first attempt is always an issue and I end up wasting too much time doing the write-compile-check iterations.
I've written a new package called `cart.el` that makes this more streamlined by allowing the user to click on the frame for the insertion of appropriate coordinates. I'm hosting it on [github here](https://github.com/Nidish96/cart.el) - do check it out!
Here's a slide fully created using this package on emacs within a matter of minutes, for example:
I'm posting this here because this has become a major part of my workflow on preparing presentations on emacs.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682395 | 2 | I am using `pos` to align nodes along a path. This works great, even with special segments like `-|`. But I came across an issue when using `cycle`. It seems for `cycle` `pos` does not work at all. That would be fine for me, but I do not even receive an error. So maybe I am doing something wrong or not looking at it the right way?
```
\documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0) -| ++(2,2) -| ++(-2,-2) node[pos=0.5]{O};
\draw (3,0) -| ++(2,2) -| cycle node[pos=0.5]{X};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
```
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/156791 | Why does pos behave different with cycle then with other path segments? | true | How to solve it
---------------
There are two ways of placing a node on a line: [explicitly](https://tikz.dev/tikz-shapes#sec-17.8), as you did in your code, or [implicitly](https://tikz.dev/tikz-shapes#sec-17.9), as I do in the following code.
When using the implicit approach, you can omit `pos=0.5`, as it is the default. It is still possible to set any other `pos=x` there.
With the implicit approach, it works as expected.
(*Note:* For horizontal/vertical line-to operations `|-` and `-|` the position `0.5` is exactly the corner point, as you can see with `\draw (3,0) -| ++(2,1) -| node{X} cycle;`)
### Code
```
\documentclass[tikz, margin=3mm]{standalone}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0) -| ++(2,2) -| node{O} ++(-2,-2);
%\draw (3,0) -| ++(2,2) -| node[pos=0.5]{X} cycle;
\draw (3,0) -| ++(2,2) -| node{X} cycle;
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
```
### Result
Approach of the *why*
---------------------
The problem does not arise when using `-- cycle node[midway]{foo}`. It seems that `cycle` is defined correctly only for the connection `--`. In the [tikz code](https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgf/blob/master/tex/generic/pgf/frontendlayer/tikz/tikz.code.tex#L2941) there is a comment:
```
% Syntax for cycle:
% -- cycle
```
So the problem seems to be, that the combination of `pos` and `cycle` is not defined for other connections than `--`.

If I comment out the caption, the problem disappears
and the output `text.html` looks good.
Maybe I shall mention that in the log also occurs:
```
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/tex4ht/tex4ht.sty
l.864 --- TeX4ht warning --- nonprimitive \everypar ---
--- needs --- tex4ht test ---
```
This test file is extracted from a bigger one and I could bet that this worked in earler releases... I use texlive.
I have the impression, that some config is wrong just.
Who can help??

Specifically, there is a "thanks" footnote that is a numbered footnote attached to the author's name. That footnote itself has a footnote attached to it. The sub-footnote contains a block quotation.
The most important aspect of this is the block quotation within the sub-footnote. If I must, I'm willing to combine the two footnotes into one footnote, and I am also willing to have the footnote be un-numbered, in the default manner of the AMS-LaTeX \thanks macro.
No variant of this that I've tried works correctly. Most of them produce one of these error messages:
```
! Improper \spacefactor.
! Class amsart Error: \thanks should be given separately, not inside author nam
! Use of \@xfootnote doesn't match its definition.
! Use of \@xfootnotemark doesn't match its definition.
```
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/285657 | Trouble putting a block quotation into a "thanks" footnote in amsart | true | A tolerable solution is the following source. It does not solve the issues I have with "thanks" being unnumbered, or having footnotes to footnotes (at least, before the body of the document). But it does deal with the block quotation in the thanks.
The core problem seems to be that the processing of the "thanks" argument is immediately followed by some sort of tweaking of the horizontal spacing which uses \spacefactor. However, \spacefactor can only be accessed in horizontal modes, and since the argument ends with a "quote" environment, TeX processing is in vertical mode at the time. Normally the argument ends in text, which ensures TeX is in horizontal mode at the time. I have no suitable text to insert at that point, but I can add "\hskip 0pt" as a no-op that gets TeX into horizontal mode. It's possible that this fix inserts an empty line, but that would not show in the examples I have tried.

Here are two possible solutions; one uses `\mathbf{U}`, the other `\mathsf{U}`. I've tested them with Computer Modern math fonts and Euler fraktur fonts only, and exclusively in `\textstyle`. These symbols will never occur in first- or second-level subscripts, right?

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/681981 | 0 | For 3 or more authors, I want to list the first et al. in the text.
If I use `\usepackage[natbibapa]{apacite}` and `\citet` in the text, all works fine, but APA gives me all 4 authors.
If I use `\usepackage{apacite}` and `\shortciteA` in the text, I get ? (?) in the text and acronyms stop working. But the reference appears in the list of references.
I followed this post:
[How to change the apacite bibliography style to list all authors](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/136409/how-to-change-the-apacite-bibliography-style-to-list-all-authors)
And similarly tried to change the apacite.bst file to list 1st author if 3 or more authors are listed (instead of 6 as currently is set up), but without success. Anyone knows how to do it?
I also tried to use `\shortcites{key}\citet{key}` which is specified in the apacite manual (section 4.2 Using natbib for citations) but nothing changed. I don't seem to be able to use apacite for citations such as `\shortcite`. I don't even understand the errors I get when I use `\shortcite`, but Contents / Acronyms stop working.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682426 | 0 | I'm trying to issue a custom error message in the case of an unknown choice for a `l3keys` `.choice` key. In the following MCE:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682403 | 1 | Is there a way in metapost to print a single label (in math notation) like this one
```
label(btex \Large{$3$} etex,(2,-1));
```
using some specific color like red or blue?
Thank you in advance.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/293823 | Colored math expression metapost | true | It is simple, but not without a couple of possible things to keep in mind.
`label` is defined in `plain.mp` to draw a <picture> variable in the right place. If you pass a plain string it is automatically turned into a <picture> with `infont`. If you pass a `btex ... etex` string it will have been turned into a <picture> before it gets passed to `label`.
So if you do `label(btex $3$ etex, (2,1));` this is essentially the same as
```
picture P;
P = btex $3$ etex;
draw P shifted (2,1);
```
And therefore if you do `label(btex $3$ etex, (2,1)) withcolor red;` this expands to
```
picture P;
P = btex $3$ etex;
draw P shifted (2,1) withcolor red;
```
And your label appears in red. In plain MP, whatever is in the picture `P` will be drawn in red, only. So you might like to consider this program:
```
prologues := 3;
outputtemplate := "%j%c.eps";
verbatimtex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\begin{document}
etex
beginfig(1);
picture T[];
T1 = btex $e=mc^2$ etex;
T2 = btex $\mathcolor{red}{e} = \mathcolor{blue}{mc}^2$ etex;
T3 = image(
fill fullcircle scaled 22 -- reverse fullcircle scaled 14 -- cycle withcolor blue;
fill unitsquare shifted -(1/2, 1/2) xscaled 36 yscaled 4 withcolor red;
) shifted 18 right;
for i = 1, 2, 3:
draw T[i] shifted (0, -64i);
draw T[i] shifted (60, -64i + 12) withcolor 1/2 red;
draw T[i] shifted (60, -64i - 12) withcolor 1/2 green;
endfor
endfig;
end.
```
If you compile this with `mpost -tex=latex` you should get an EPS file that looks like this:
Notice that the three images get drawn "monochrome" when you add `withcolor` after the `draw` command. Even if they are multicoloured originally.
Extra note for `luamplib` users
-------------------------------
There appears to be a quirk -- or perhaps a bug -- with the current TeXLive version of `luamplib`. If you change the header of the program above, so that it looks like this:
```
\documentclass[border=5mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{luamplib}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\begin{document}
\begin{mplibcode}
beginfig(1);
picture T[];
T1 = btex $e=mc^2$ etex;
T2 = btex $\mathcolor{red}{e} = \mathcolor{blue}{mc}^2$ etex;
T3 = image(
fill fullcircle scaled 22 -- reverse fullcircle scaled 14 -- cycle withcolor blue;
fill unitsquare shifted -(1/2, 1/2) xscaled 36 yscaled 4 withcolor red;
) shifted 18 right;
for i = 1, 2, 3:
draw T[i] shifted (0, -64i);
draw T[i] shifted (60, -64i + 12) withcolor 1/2 red;
draw T[i] shifted (60, -64i - 12) withcolor 1/2 green;
endfor
endfig;
\end{mplibcode}
\end{document}
```
and recompile with `lualatex` you will get a PDF that looks like this:
For some reason, `withcolor` is being ignored if the <picture> contains coloured text. Possibly this is a quirk of my own set up!

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682436 | 1 | I need to write a fraction for which I can break the numerator into several (not just two) lines. I tried several solutions and none have works. On Overleaf, most just stop the document from compiling. These are my latest attempts:
```
\begin{align*}

\end{align*}

Even better (but not indispensable), I'd like to annotate each line of the numerator. Is that possible? To indicate what each line represents.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/2118 | Splitting fraction numerator into several lines | true | I'm not sure I understood your comments fully, but `\splitfrac` instructions can certainly be nested.

Yes, I could do it by hand, but that seems needlessly laborious, has the potential for mistakes, and makes maintenance difficult. I could also use `sed`, but there's a potential for mistakes.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682450 | 0 | I'm writing an article with a two-column distribution. I want to display some images that need to be shown almost as wide as the page and centered, specifically in the Results section. The problem is, when I compile the document it shows the figures anywhere they "suit" as default.
I'm using the following code
```
\begin{figure*}[h]
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{imágenes/Np-Ng3000.png}
\caption{XXXXXXXXXXXXX}
\end{figure*}
```
This gives everything I need, wide and centered between the two columns but not in the results section necessarily.
PS: I'm using [twocolumn] document option
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/288545 | How to display a figure on a determinated section | false | I can't see your document, but try using [!h] instead of [h]. This is called a "bang float" and will more strongly encourage LaTeX to put your figure at a particular place. This should be avoided when possible, as you can get bad typography when overriding LaTeX's default choices.
If this doesn't work, you can try using the float package, which provides the option [H] which fixes the float in a particular spot.
You can also use the placeins package for a more complicated solution. This adds the \FloatBarrier command, which prevents figures (a type of float) from going past them. Adding the package with the command:
```
\usepackage[section]{placeins}
```
will add a FloatBarrier before every section, preventing figures from floating away from their section.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/294786 | What does :2:NotoSerifCJK-Regular.ttc in ctex-fontset-ubuntu.def mean? | true | `ttc` font files contain a collection of multiple fonts, so in addition to passing the file name you have to indicate which font in the file should be selected. In the case of noto-cjk, the different fonts contained in the same file are language variants. What you see here is the notation to select the font with index 2 in uptex, which is the simplified chinese version. The equivalent notation with fontspec would be `\setmainfont [FontIndex=2] { NotoSerifCJK-Regular.ttc }`

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/681822 | 0 | I have been making a Texas lawyer .bbx and .cbx, and, in doing that, I created a citation style called courtrule. For example, Rule 4 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure is cited like Tex. R. Civ. P. 4. However, because there are hundreds of different rules, I want to have a general `\cite{}` where I can pass the rule number as a postnote, i.e., `\cite[4]{TRCP}` will cause this:
In-text: Tex. R. Civ. P. 4
In-bibliography: Tex. R. Civ. P. 4
At the moment, when I write `\cite[4]{TRCP}`, it does the correct in-text citation, but it does not print the postnote in the bibliography. Additionally, I will cite multiple different rules, so I might have `\cite[500]{TRCP}` as well as `\cite[4]{TRCP}`. I want the bibliography to make a new entry for each different postnote. Is that possible?
This is my bibliography driver code now:
```
\DeclareBibliographyDriver{courtrule}{%
\usebibmacro{begentry}%
\printfield{title}\addspace\printfield{postnote}\hspace{-0.7ex}
\dotfill\usebibmacro{pageref}%
}
```
But that just makes the bibliography print
`Tex. R. Civ. P.` without the number. [EDIT: I have learned it's because the `postnote` field is not available in the bibliography]
I know I'm doing it wrong, but I don't know how to do it right.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/292891 | How do I make BibLaTeX print postnotes and print a new bibliography entry for every citation with a different postnote? | false | Index the citations.
A quick, five-minute proof of concept using out-of-the-box Biblatex, the `title=` and `author=` fields for storing the authority and law report(s) respectively, and `\citetitle` and `\citeauthor` citation commands to retrieve that information.
Usage, for bibentry `X`:
```
\citetitle{X}, \citeauthor{X}\index[indexname]{\citetitle{X}, \citeauthor{X}}
```
With (numeric) pinpoint:
```
\citetitle{X}, \citeauthor[45]{X}\index[indexname]{\citetitle{X}, \citeauthor[45]{X}}
```
Tricky part with indexing is getting index sort keys right, and not unintentionally adding/removing blank spaces in the index entries when using different commands to add an (i.e., the same) item.
With alphanumeric pinpoints, the index sort key (and citation prefix) has to be added manually.
For example, to bring `r 45(a)` into the `rules` index/table (and into the citation in the text, if there is a citation):
```
\citetitle[r 45(a)]{tcpr}\index[rules]{r 045@\citetitle[r 45(a)]{tcpr}}
```
The MWE has some more details.
It is a multi-step process (see `Toolchain` in the MWE).
Remember to run with shell escape on.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682500 | 0 | Is there a way to use the caption style defined in the `caption` package for a `longtblr`?
To format table captions, I am using the `caption` package as follows:
```
\usepackage[
hypcap=true,
format=hang,
font={footnotesize, sf},
labelfont={bf},
margin=0cm,
aboveskip=8pt,
singlelinecheck=off,
]{caption}
```
This works well for small tables (without page breaks / page continuation):
```
\begin{table}[!htbp]
\captionsetup{type=table}
\caption{A small table}
\begin{tblr}{l X[r] X[r] X[r]}
a & b & c & d \\
a & b & c & d \\
a & b & c & d \\
\end{tblr}
\end{table}
```
However, the style is not used in my long table. I had a look into the [`tabularray` documentation](http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tabularray/tabularray.pdf) (Section 4.2.1), but all I was able to find, is related to the caption contents, not its style. According to the [`caption` documentation](http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/caption/caption.pdf) (Introduction), `caption` does not deal with caption contents, but caption style only:
>
> Please note that the caption package is only controlling the look & feel of the captions.
>
>
>
Is there a way to combine the `longtblr` environment with the caption style defined with the `caption` package?
The MWE is as follows:
```

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/61513 | Use caption style defined with caption package in tabularray's longtblr | false | The solution given in the link by Zarko works well in documents without a `\listoftables`. Once you want to have that list, you will end up with two entries of every table in it. Both the short caption (that should be in the list of tables) and the long version (that should only be used in the caption itself) are entered.
The `tabularray` package does not obey the options set in the `caption` package, as you (and I) noticed. But the package does have an extensive way to define *themes* that can be used to set the table caption in a desired way.
I use a coloured box in which the caption is typeset. Without going to create a whole MWE I just give the code snippets of the `caption` settings and of the (almost) equivalent `tabularray theme` settings.
My caption setup is defined as follows:
```
\usepackage{xcolor}
\definecolor{color2}{RGB}{255,255,120} % Color of the boxes behind the abstract and headings (dark yellow)
\definecolor{color5}{RGB}{139,0,139} %Color of captions (dark purple)
\usepackage[labelfont={bf,sf,small,color=color5},%
labelsep=endash,%
box=colorbox,boxcolor=color2!10,slc=off,%
textfont={color=color5},%
justification=justified,%raggedright,%
format=hang,indention=-15mm]{caption}
\setlength{\abovecaptionskip}{0pt}
\setlength{\belowcaptionskip}{0pt}
```
The tabularray theme derived from that is:
```
\usepackage{tabularray}
\UseTblrLibrary{booktabs,siunitx,varwidth}
\DefTblrTemplate{caption-tag}{color}{\textcolor{color5}{\textsf{\textbf{Tabel \thetable}}}}
\DefTblrTemplate{caption-sep}{color}{\textcolor{color5}{\textbf{--}}}
\DefTblrTemplate{caption-text}{color}{\textcolor{color5}{\InsertTblrText{caption}}}
\DefTblrTemplate{caption-text}{colorcont}{\textcolor{color5}{\InsertTblrText{entry}}}
\DefTblrTemplate{conthead-text}{color}{\textcolor{color5}{(Vervolg)}}
\DefTblrTemplate{contfoot-text}{color}{\textcolor{color5}{\footnotesize Vervolg op volgende pagina}}
\DefTblrTemplate{caption}{color}{
\UseTblrTemplate{caption-tag}{color}
\UseTblrTemplate{caption-sep}{color}
\UseTblrTemplate{caption-text}{color}
}
\DefTblrTemplate{capcont}{color}{
\UseTblrTemplate{caption-tag}{color}
\UseTblrTemplate{caption-sep}{color}
\UseTblrTemplate{caption-text}{colorcont}
\UseTblrTemplate{conthead-text}{color}
}
\NewTblrTheme{colorcaps}{
\SetTblrTemplate{caption}{color}
\SetTblrTemplate{capcont}{color}
\SetTblrTemplate{contfoot-text}{color}
\SetTblrStyle{remark}{font=\footnotesize}
\SetTblrStyle{note}{font=\footnotesize}
}
\usepackage{floatrow}
\DeclareCaptionLabelSeparator{endash}{\textcolor{color5}{\enskip -- \space}}
```
As you see, the package `floatrow` provides the caption label separator to the theme. The one thing I still have trouble with is the hanging indentation. Otherwise using the theme *colorcaps* in `tall/longtblr` environments sets the caption according to `\captionsetup` and only the short entry is placed inside the `\listoftables`.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682442 | 1 | I'm producing a document using Xetex that contains code in the APL programming language. In this language, the character `¯` is used to denote negative numbers. The problem is that when I enter the `¯` character in a verbatim, it will automatically overlap the next character because it's a diacritic. I can prevent this by entering all instances of `¯` with a space following as in `¯ 10`. This will render as `¯10` in the document, but then the problem is that if someone wants to copy and paste code from the PDF into a terminal or editor, the pasted code will have spaces: `¯ 10` . This is a syntax error.
This problem appears to be associated with the specific font I'm loading via fontspec. It's called PragmataPro and it's a commercial font so if you don't have it already you may not wish to get it just to test with.
I've searched and found a variety of solutions for problems like this but none work in this case. I'm using Xetex so the microtype package with `\DisableLigatures` isn't an option; I'm using Xetex for the OpenType support. I tried entering an option to disable ligatures like this:
```
\setmonofont[Scale=1,Ligatures=NoCommon]{PragmataPro Mono}
```
But that fails and I get these error messages:
```
Package fontspec Warning: OpenType feature 'Ligatures=CommonOff' (liga) not
(fontspec) available for font 'PragmataPro Mono' with script
(fontspec) 'CustomDefault' and language 'Default'.
Package fontspec Warning: OpenType feature 'Ligatures=CommonOff' (liga) not
(fontspec) available for font 'PragmataPro Mono' with script
(fontspec) 'CustomDefault' and language 'Default'.
Package fontspec Warning: OpenType feature 'Ligatures=CommonOff' (liga) not
(fontspec) available for font 'PragmataPro Mono/B' with script
(fontspec) 'CustomDefault' and language 'Default'.
Package fontspec Warning: OpenType feature 'Ligatures=CommonOff' (liga) not
(fontspec) available for font 'PragmataPro Mono/I' with script
(fontspec) 'CustomDefault' and language 'Default'.
Package fontspec Warning: OpenType feature 'Ligatures=CommonOff' (liga) not
(fontspec) available for font 'PragmataPro Mono/BI' with script
(fontspec) 'CustomDefault' and language 'Default'.
```
These variants are all OpenType fonts but it seems they don't support a feature to turn off the `¯` ligature.
Below is a code sample to reproduce the problem -- if you happen to have the PragmataPro font. The problem may be specific to this font but it would help if there were some way to just disable all ligature behavior inside verbatim blocks. You can try both the standard article class and the acmart class with this document, the behavior is the same. Removing the PragmataPro line fixes the problem but this is the font I want to use for the document.
```
\documentclass{article}
%\documentclass{acmart}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmonofont[Scale=1,Ligatures=NoCommon]{PragmataPro Mono}
\begin{document}
\begin{verbatim}
¯ 10 ← displays right, copy/paste is broken
¯10 ← displays wrong but can be copied OK
\end{verbatim}
\end{document}
```
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/294510 | How to prevent diacritic characters from overlapping the next character inside a verbatim? (Font-specific?) | true | The character U+00AF MACRON is not a diacritic: those are classified in Unicode as COMBINING or MODIFIER characters.
It is possible that your font either sets zero width for U+00AF or has nonstandard ligatures.
In either case you can tell XeTeX to make it appear “standalone” with a trick:
```
\usepackage{newunicodechar}
\newunicodechar{¯}{\makebox[0.5em][l]{¯}}
```
The trick is that in most monospaced fonts the characters have width half an em (you may need to adjust if this is not the case for that font). So the box will both give a width to the character and break possible ligatures.
Beware that this will also apply to every U+00AF character in your document (but I guess it's not really a problem).

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2441 | 874 | I have some text in a table and I want to add a forced line break. I want to insert a forced line break without having to specify the column width, i.e. something like the following:
```
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
Foo bar & Foo <forced line break here> bar & Foo bar \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
```
I know that `\\` inserts a line break in most cases, but here it starts a new table row instead.
---
A similar question was asked before: [How to break a line in a table](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/485/how-to-break-a-line-in-a-table)
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/375 | How to add a forced line break inside a table cell | false | [This answer](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/2442/250119) suggests using `p`-type column and `\newline` command.
However, once you realize that `p`-type column is just typesetted in a `\parbox` (basically a vbox in plain TeX), a paragraph break works.
So:
```
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{p{3cm}p{3cm}}
hello
world&hello
world
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
```
I'm not sure why nobody have suggested that
given how [`⟨blank line⟩` is preferred over `\newline` or `\\` in normal text](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/82664/250119).
Perhaps it's because of semantic meaning -- you're unlikely to include a whole paragraph in a table cell. But if you do it may make sense.
E.g. the example below includes 2 paragraphs in each table cell.
```

By default there's no first-line-indent, so the appearance

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682174 | 2 | I use tex4ebook with `\coverimage[someOptions]{AbsolutePath/someimage.jpg}` in the document, directly after `\begin{document}`. But the `AbsolutePath` is not respected and does not find someimage.jpg, respectively is not shown in the epub.
As AbsolutePath I use something like `C:/Somepath/folder/anotherfolder/someimage.jpg`. But in the epub no image is shown.
When I use `someimage.jpg` located in the current folder, where the `.tex` file is, it works and the someimage.jpg is shown in the epub.
Only the absolute path is not showing the image in the epub. But of cource the someimage.jpg is located in the AbsolutePath folder.
Is there anything to know that I miss?
It seems as if the
```
\graphicpath{{PathA/}{PathB/}{C:/folder/anotherfolder/}}
```
does not work with tex4ebook. Though it was said, that all options with `\includegraphics[]{}` will work with `\coverimage[]{}`.
Is there a fix to it?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/292824 | tex4ebook and \coverimage[someOptions]{AbsolutePath/someimage.jpg} does not work | false | `tex4ebook` doesn't copy images, you need to do it using a build file. I've handled a similar case some time ago in [this answer](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/656511/2891), but it doesn't work correctly with `tex4ebook`.

if allowed_chars[s] then return s end
-- in other cases, replace with underscore
return "_"
end)
end
local function id_colons(obj)

local name = string.lower(obj:get_element_name(el))

if href and not href:match("[a-z]%://") then
local base, id = href:match("(.*)%#(.*)")
if base and id then
id = fix_colons(id)
el:set_attribute("href", base .. "#" .. id)
end
end
end
local id = el:get_attribute("id")
if id then
el:set_attribute("id", fix_colons(id))
end
end)
return obj
end
local function fix_img_names(dom)
for _, img in ipairs(dom:query_selector("img")) do
local src = img:get_attribute("src")
if src then
-- remove path specification
src = src:match("([^/]+)$")
img:set_attribute("src", src)
end
end
return dom
end
local process = domfilter {id_colons,fix_img_names}
local function image_copy(path, parameters)
-- get image basename
local basename = path:match("([^/]+)$")
-- if outdir is empty, keep it empty, otherwise add / separator
local outdir = parameters.outdir == "" and "" or parameters.outdir .. "/"

end
end
mkutils.cp(path, output_file)
end
Make:match("png$", function(path, parameters)

return false
end)

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682504 | 5 | I am trying to access some Russian TeX files, but when I open it in TeXstudio (or any other editor), the text is not readable. For example, this is a line from one file:
>
> Ќ ©¤гвбп «Ё в ЄЁҐ а §«ЁзлҐ ўҐйҐбвўҐлҐ зЁб« $a$, $b$, $c$, зв®
> Їап¬лҐ $y=ax+b$, $y=bx+c$, $y=cx+a$ ЇҐаҐбҐЄ овбп ў ®¤®© в®зЄҐ?

In earlier topics in Stack Exchange, it has been advised to set the editor's font encoding from UTF-8 to windows-1251, but this doesn't seem to work in TeXstudio.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/294805 | Unreadable Russian TeX files | false | The text seems to be encoded as CP866. According to [Wikipedia on this encoding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_866):
>
> Code page 866 (CCSID 866) (CP 866, "DOS Cyrillic Russian") is a code page used under DOS and OS/2 in Russia to write Cyrillic script.
>
>
>
You can re-encode it in for example Python:
```
mytext = "Ќ ©¤гвбп «Ё в ЄЁҐ а §«ЁзлҐ ўҐйҐбвўҐлҐ зЁб« $a$, $b$, $c$, зв® Їап¬лҐ $y=ax+b$, $y=bx+c$, $y=cx+a$ ЇҐаҐбҐЄ овбп ў ®¤®© в®зЄҐ?"
print(mytext.encode("cp1251").decode("cp866"))
```
The code first interprets the utf-8 sequence as single bytes (with cp1251, the 'standard' cyrillic encoding) and then maps those bytes into cp866.
This prints (newline added for readability):
```
Н йдутся ли т кие р зличные вещественные числ $a$, $b$, $c$,
что прямые $y=ax+b$, $y=bx+c$, $y=cx+a$ пересек ются в одной точке?
```
which translates as:
```
Are there different real numbers $a$, $b$, $c$
such that the lines $y=ax+b$, $y=bx+c$, $y=cx+a$ intersect in one point?
```

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/438214 | 7 | i get an error when i try to compile my document and it drives me crazy. I have a lot of citations from a bib file, and i always get the Error listed above which (how i understand it) means i have thin spaces in my bib file, but i cant figure out where they are supposed to be and the file is too large to check every space. I already corrected any present ä, ö, ü etc., so it has to be a problem with the spaces. I copied the bib-references with a citation tool directly from the articles, maybe that's the problem? But it seems idiotic to me to write the citations myself.
Here's the Error again:
Error: ! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char   (U+2009)(inputenc) not set up for use with LaTeX.See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.Type H for immediate help.... ...bliography[heading=bibempty,type=article]
I have run it many times through biber (which gives me no errors), deleted aux, bbl and bcf files, checked the bib file many times for odd spacings to figure out where those thin spaces are, but i could not find the error.
What is the best solution for this problem?
I dont know how to make a proper MWE with the huge bib file of over 1000 lines, sry. Here are the packages i use:
```
\documentclass[12pt,fleqn,xcolor=dvipsnames]{book}

```
I also have notations (with %) in my bib File to know which lines of the articles i cited. Could this cause the problems?

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/294805 | Unreadable Russian TeX files | false | Well, I used <https://2cyr.com/decode/> to figure out what happened.
In bash you can save your text as utf-8 file "t.txt" and call iconv
```
iconv -f utf-8 -t cp1251 t.txt | iconv -f cp866 -t utf-8
```
It produces
```

числ should be числа, but other stuff looks good for me.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682549 | 4 | I'd like to learn basic TeX programming (as a programming language instead of a tool of typeset) systematically, but I find "the Tex Book" by Knuth spends much time on typeset matter. Is there a book that focuses on explicit Tex programming and goes deeper?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/270268 | Is there a book explicitly about TeX programming? | false | [The TeXbook](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/texbook) is still a good source for pure TeX programming; just skip all the chapters that you don't care about.
[Notes On Programming in TeX](http://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/pgfplots/doc/TeX-programming-notes.pdf) is pretty much exactly what you describe. It's fairly short, and not really suited to a beginner, but it is very good.
[TeX in a Nutshell](http://mirrors.ctan.org/info/tex-nutshell/tex-nutshell.pdf) is also a very good. It spends a lot of time describing how boxes and glue work, but I wouldn't really call this "typesetting".
[@mickep mentioned](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682549/is-there-a-book-explicitly-about-tex-programming#comment1693509_682549) [TeX by Topic](http://mirrors.ctan.org/info/texbytopic/TeXbyTopic.pdf). This is a good reference manual, but you really wouldn't want to use this to learn anything for the first time.
The [macros category of TUGboat](https://tug.org/TUGboat/Contents/listkeyword.html#CatTAGMacros) is also a good source. These are all short articles generally on a single topic, but they often discuss material that you can't find anywhere else. Some of these are intended for beginners, while others are intended for *very* advanced users.
In general though, I wouldn't recommend learning how to do pure "programming" tasks in TeX. If you ever need to do programming in TeX, you will have a much better time using either use Lua (via LuaTeX) or expl3.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/294805 | Unreadable Russian TeX files | false | A few characters may have become invalid (when trying to load it in the wrong encoding) and be removed by the system (or irreversibly replaced with another character) before you even pasted the code here.
The original was apparently saved in CP866, and the unreadable code you posted was the result of an attempt to load it as Windows-1251.
I found that every Cyrillic "а" (saved as CP866 but loaded as Windows-1251) becomes a no-break space character (ASCII: `0xa0`), which is then further replaced by a regular space when it is posted to some sites.
If you have the original file, you can try opening the file in Notepad++ and choose Encoding > Character sets > Cyrillic > OEM 866, then you can copy/paste elsewhere with the proper encoding.

Of course, I know, that I can try to google it, but Google often finds some manuals and usage examples without package information (but this is probably because I don't know, how to google better). In all the cases I've succeeded in determining of the package name, but wasted more than 30 minutes in many of them.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/475 | How to find a package name by a command name? | false | Since April 2023 there is TeXFindPkg, a tool that does it!
On your terminal type:
```
texfindpkg query [<name>]

The tool was created to install TeX packages and their dependencies by file names, command names, or environment names.
Its general usage is
```
texfindpkg <action> [<name>]

```
texfindpkg install array.sty
texfindpkg install \fakeverb
texfindpkg install {frame}
