At the moment I am writing the final paper of my apprenticeship. I have a template from my company, this already provides plenty of classes. However, my title page needs to have my candidate number on it. How can i add a new title element to a document using class `bfhthesis`?

If you also want a title for it, you IMHO would have to change the definition of `\versioninformation`. The original definition could be found in `bfhlayout.sty`. However, if you have been instructed to use this class or template and are then required to deviate from it, the supervisor should also be able to tell you how to do this.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682581 | 5 | I've found the following code in another question:
```
\def\scan#1{\scanA#1*}
\def\scanA{\futurelet\next\scanB}
\def\scanB{\expandafter\ifx\next\space \expandafter\scanC \else \expandafter\scanE \fi}
\def\scanC{\afterassignment\scanD \let\next= }
\def\scanD{\scanE{ }}
\def\scanE#1{\ifx*#1\else \dosomething{#1} \expandafter\scanA \fi}
```
The effect is to convert a string like `ABC` into `\dosomething{A}\dosomething{B}\dosomething{C}`.
If `\let\dosomething=\uppercase`, then `\scan{Hello World!}` obtains `HELLO WORLD!`.
I understand when `\ifx\next\space` in `\scanB` gets `false`, it expands to `\scanE`, which captures the next unread token as its parameter and `\dosomething`.
However, when it gets `true`, it expands to `\scanC`. `\scanD` expands to `\scanE{ }` so that we may handle the spaces. But why the next `\scanA` will skip the space, and how `\afterassignment` and `\let\next=` work?
===== update by OrthoPole =====
I think I've understood the process myself.
When the `\ifx` get `true`, the stream looks like `\futurelet·\next·\scanB·_·...` (`_` stands for a space token), and it expands to `\afterassignment·\scanD·\let·\next·=·_·_·...`. We see `\let` allows an optional space token, hence the first space after `=` will be omitted, and `\next` will be assigned the second space. After this assignment, `\scanD` will be expanded. Since the two spaces after `=` are absorbed by `\let`, we get `\scanD·...`.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/270268 | How does \afterassignment work? | true | `\afterassignment\cs` will reinsert `\cs` in the input stream as soon as the next assignment has been performed.
What's considered as an assignment? Setting the value of a register (but for box registers it's slightly more complicated); doing `\.def` where `.` stands for nothing, `g`, `x`, `char` and so on; doing `\let`.
Your case is the last one. Now the syntax for `\let` is
```
\let <cs><optional spaces><optional =><one optional space>
```
The `<optional spaces>` part is not interesting in your case, because you always have `\let\scanD`. More interesting is `<one optional space>`. In this case TeX does *no* expansion of the token following `=`, as witnessed by
```
\let\x=\space\message{abc}
```
that prints `abc` on the console and makes `\x` to be the same as `\space`.
Doing
```
\def\scanC{\afterassignment\scanD \let\next}
```
would fail if the token after `\scanC` is `=`, because it would be taken as part of the `\let` instruction, which isn't wanted. But also
```
\def\scanC{\afterassignment\scanD \let\next=}
```
would fail if the token after `\scanC` is an explicit space token, because it would be taken as `<one optional space>`.
You want instead to assign to `\next` the next token, so you need
```
\def\scanC{\afterassignment\scanD \let\next= }
```

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682610 | 4 | I stumbled accors `\Vec{...}` (notice the capitalised command). Since it is impossible to do case-sensitive searches on Google and SE, I have to ask: What does it do? Can I overwrite it? It seems to have the same effect as `\vec{...}`.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/172890 | What is `\Vec` (capitalised) | false | TeX differentiates between uppercase and lowercase in general, so `\vec` is not the same as `\Vec`. In plain TeX, only `\vec` is defined, but the package `amsmath` defines `\Vec` as being the same as `\vec` ("for backward compatibility" as the manual states):
```
\def\Vec{\vec}
```
So, yes, if you mean the macro as it is defined by the `amsmath` package, it does exactly the same as `\vec`. And yes, in this case you could redefine it (after having loaded `amsmath`) without affecting the defintion of `\vec`. I am not sure whether redefining it is a good idea though, since this might break things where other packages rely on the fact that `amsmath` defines the capitalized macro to be the same as the non-capitalized one.
However, since you did not provide a [minimal working example (MWE)](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228) the above is only a guess. There might also exist other packages or document classes that define `\Vec` in their own, different way, and it could be a problem to redefine this macro in this situation, of course.

```
> ack '\\Vec[^f@t-]' /usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/tex/latex/
```
(the exclusion list in the regex is just to avoid false positives) the answer is
```
/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsmath/amstex.sty
774:\gdef\Vec{\RIfM@\DN@{\mathaccent@{"017E }}\else
775: \DN@{\nonmatherr@\Vec}\fi\next@}
/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsmath/amsmath-2018-12-01.sty
876:\def\Vec{\vec}
/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsmath/amsmath.sty
902:\def\Vec{\vec}
/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/tex/latex/lwarp/lwarp-amsmath.sty
156:\CustomizeMathJax{\let\Vec\vec}
```
So basically, the only package that defines `\Vec` is `amsmath` (`amstex.sty` is kept for backwards compatibility).
Why? If you look in `amsmath.sty` you'll see also `\Acute`, `\Hat` and so on for all math accents.
In the first versions of `amsmath`, the capitalized version was used to get stacked accents right, so you had to type
```
\Dot{\Hat{x}}
```
to get the right position of the accents. In later versions, the problem of stacking accents was solved in a different way (which adds a not so nice “feature”, but that's not the point), so the capitalized versions were redefined to be the same as the all-lowercase commands.
Using `\Vec` or `\vec` is exactly the same.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682216 | 0 | I want to reduce the distance that the node text gets placed relative to the anchor.
I have two nodes like this to add labels to a point in the axis:
```
\node[red] (point) at (1,0) {\(\bullet\)};
\node[anchor=south west] at (point) {(1,0)};
```
That adds a red dot at the point and a node above right of it with some text. I want to move the text node closer to the point since the automatic placement puts it a bit far away.
How do i do that? Is there an option to make placement "tight" or "compact"?
Would it make sense to change from two nodes to one node plus the label option added to the bullet node?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/258117 | TikZ: Reduce distance of node to anchor | true | If you need dots (to mark a point/coordinate) it's always better to use an actual circle drawn by TikZ. The glyphs `\bullet` or `\textbullet` don't necessarily have their center on the actual coordinate and you can't reference them as good.
A node of shape `circle` is used best. Setting the `inner sep` to zero allows the diameter to be given via `minimum size`.
To put a node closer to that dot it be best to reduce its `inner sep`. Technically, using a negative `outer sep` works, too, but I don't see a good reason for it in this case. (See the `inner sep` value in the `every label` key.)
Since it seems like you want to label a coordinate on the page, the `label` key is a nice way to place another node in reference to a given node without having to give it an explicit name. It allows you to use a style like `dot` in the second code which not only adds the label but also places the dot on the right coordinate without having to give it twice. (Though, this will not always work, of course.)

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 | false | There are other approaches as well, including a short [Python script](https://github.com/jamestrimble/remove-unused-citations) I have successfully used in the past.
| 1 | https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/26614 | 682639 | 316,728 |
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682617 | 1 | As it is described in [reference manual of etoc, p.34](https://ctan.math.washington.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/etoc/etoc.pdf), it is possible to typeset a `\localtableofcontents` at any place of the document.
One needs only to follow the steps:
1. `\invisiblelocaltableofcontents \label{foo}` <-- this inside of section for which you need the toc
2. `\tableofcontents \ref{foo}` <-- this at the place WHERE you need the TOC to be typesetted
**The question is, how to achieve the same effect for `\locallistoftables` or `\locallistoffigures`?**
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/294874 | etoc: typeset locallistoffigures or locallistoftables elsewhere | true | I am slowly turning into [etoc](https://ctan.org/pkg/etoc) expert here, thanks to going through large parts of its dense document recently in March 2023.
My initial reaction was that this was probably not possible as there is no indication whatsoever that I could find about this in the document of [etoc](https://ctan.org/pkg/etoc). And I was going to suggest to write the author a feature request, but much to my surprise this seems to work:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[lof,lot]{etoc}
\begin{document}
\section{foo}
\etocsetnexttocdepth{none}
\locallistoffigures\label{lof_of_foo}
\subsection{bar}
Some text
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
put a graphic here
\caption{some figure}
\label{fig:1}
\end{figure}
\section{bar}
\renewcommand\listfigurename{This is LOF of section foo}
\locallistoffigures\ref{lof_of_foo}
\end{document}
```
as it produces after two compilations from a state with no auxiliary files:
If you add such things to existing document probably 3 passes will be needed I guess.
The `\renewcommand\listfigurename{This is LOF of section foo}` is only for demonstration purpose. In practice it would force you to reissue it with another definition if further `local lofs` are done. I see there is a `\locallistfigurename` but it wouldn't solve the need to have to redefine it at each new one.
---
A slightly more complex example as stress test:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[lof,lot]{etoc}
\renewcommand\localcontentsname{Local table of contents}
\begin{document}
\section{foo}
\localtableofcontents\label{toc_of_foo}

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/344160 | 13 | **Short question**:
Is there some font encoding or other trick that would allow the unicode character `²` (exponent 2) to be correctly interpreted by LaTeX, notably in math mode (i.e. translate it automatically into `^{2}`)?
(and likewise for ³, ⁴, ...)
**Detailed rationale**:
Normally, to introduce an exponent in math mode one uses the ^ symbol, as in `x^2` or `e^{i\pi}`. I've been using LaTeX for decades and this feels very natural. However, with my current setup, when I type the characters `x` `^` `2` on the keyboard, it results in the two unicode characters `x²`.
I do have a `\RequirePackage[utf8]{inputenc}` around the beginning of my personal style file, and Unicode characters in general are interpreted correctly (accented characters and such).
Usually I think about it and do type `x` `^` `^` `2` which results in `x^2`, but often I'm typing fast and later have to go back to every line of code that produces a `LaTeX Error: Command \texttwosuperior unavailable in en` error. This is annoying.
I could implement a workaround at the level of my editor (I use vim, so it would be simple to add a mapping to convert the ² into ^2), but I'm wondering if there's a better editor-independent way to handle this.

$\underbrace{4}_{2^2} \underbrace{\text{KB}}_{2^{10}}$

I'd like to put a multiplication sign between the two underbrace *in the underbrace space* (same level, size, etc) without the multiplication sign actually having a brace over it. And maybe even an `= 2^{12}` part at the end in the same style.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/291129 | Underbrace space without underbrace? | true | Something like this?
The `\mkern2mu` directive inside the argument of `\mathllap` serves to places the `\times` symbol right below the gap between the two horizontal braces. (A larger value for the argument of `\mathllap` would push the `\times` symbol further to the left.) Likewise, `\mathrlap{\cramped{\,=\,2^{12}}}` serves to place `=2^{12}` to the right of the main argument of the second `\underbrace` directive.
```

This is my first to do list in ORG mode in emacs
* This is heading level 1
There should be some text here
** Heading level 2
This is to see how the system behaves when there is text between level 1 and 2
*** this is heading level 3
THIS also Speaks VOLUMES about THE POWER OF EMACS-ORG MODE.
**** This is heading level 4
*this text will be bold*
/whereas this will be italics/
_and this needs to be underline_
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF IT INDENTS BELOW THE THIRD HEADING.
However the C code for printing Hello World program will look like this
#+begin_SRC C
#include
int main (void)
{
printf("Hello World!");
return 0;
}
#+end_SRC C
#+begin_quote
"This is a quote"
#+end_quote
* Let me create a list here [66%]
- [X] first item
- [ ] second item
- [X] third item
- [X] is this a nested item
- [X] is this also nested - i doubt - yes it is
First I would like to list down the list of commands for Org mode I have learnt so far.
- An asterisk creates a heading level 1
+ A double asterisk creates a heading level 2 and so on so forth
+ To create a check list use `-[ ]`
+ In order to see the percentage of the items checked off in the check list use `[0%]`
+ In order to see the number of checked items checked off in the check list use `[0/0]`
- this is another one
- this is the next one
+ this is an unordered list
* TODO list [4/6] :
- [ ] How to create a numbered list
- [ ] How to markup multiple lines of code in =code= style
- [ ] How to create a bulleted list
- [X] How to split screens in EMACS - for horizontal split use C-x-2; vertical split:C-x-3
- [X] How to toggle a check list item - C-c C-c
- [X] In order to change the outline view to a cleaner view use the command M-x-org-indent-mode
- [X] In order to wrap the text to be visually pleasing use M-x-visual-line-mode

I haven't been able to track down this problem any more deeply -- e.g., the console output doesn't suggest anything obvious -- and my internet searches haven't turned up any other reports on this behavior.
Any suggestions on what I might be missing?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/97638 | REVTex 4.2 bibliography missing space after first author name | true | The missing space was caused by a bug in apsrev4-2.bst. The bug was fixed in [this update to the bst file](https://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/texmf-dist/bibtex/bst/revtex/apsrev4-2.bst?pathrev=49751&view=diff&r1=49751&r2=49672&diff_format=h) (specifically the change to line 1580), which had not propagated to the system I was writing the paper on.

The goal is to make each slide present the currently introduced text in a huge font, while leaving the rest of the text visible but much smaller.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682680 | 1 | I am writing my master thesis and would like to know which citation call-out style `plainnat` uses. For example is it APA, Harvard, etc.?
Furthermore, I would like to show the surname of the author before the first name in the bibliography. This is how it is now: "George Alexandridis, Kathleen P Fuller...", but I would like it to be "Alexandridis George, Fuller Kathleen P...". Is there a way to do this?
My code is as follows:
```
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\setlength{\bibhang}{0pt}
\bibliography{Library}
```
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/294915 | Which citation call-out style (e.g. Harvard, APA) does plainnat use? | false | The `plainnat` bibliography style, when used with the `natbib` citation management package, can create three [3!] separate citation call-out styles:
* If `natbib` is loaded with the option `numbers`, `plainnat` will generate numeric-style citation call-outs.
* If `natbib` is loaded with the option `super`, `plainnat` will generate superscript-style numeric citation call-outs.
* If `natbib` is loaded with the option `authoryear`, `plainnat` will generate authoryear-style citation call-outs.
Incidentally, both APA and Harvard are associated with authoryear-style citation call-outs. The formatted bibliographic entries that BibTeX generates when it use the `plainnat` bib style do not conform to APA rules.
To change the way an author's full name is formatted, from (say) "Kevin de Bruyne" to "de Bruyne, Kevin", I suggest you proceed as follows.
* Find the file `plainnat.bst` in your TeX distribution. Make a copy of this file and name the copied file, say, `plainnatrev.bst` ("rev" being short for "reversed"). Don't edit an original file of your TeX distribution directly.
* Open the file in a text editor. The program you use to edit your tex files will do fine.
* In the file `plainnatrev.bst`, locate the function called `format.names`. (In my copy of the file, this function starts on line 216.)
* In the `format.names` function, locate the following line:
```
{ s nameptr "{ff~}{vv~}{ll}{, jj}" format.name$ 't :=
```
Change it to
```
{ s nameptr "{vv~}{ll}{, jj}{, ff}" format.name$ 't :=
```
In case you're curious: the components `ll`, `ff`, `vv` and `jj` represent the surname, first name(s), "von", and junior components of a full name. Each "full name" is assumed to contain at least a surname component.
* Save the file `plainnatrev.bst` either in the directory that contains your main tex file or in a directory that's searched by BibTeX. If you choose the second option, be sure to also refresh the filename database of your TeX distribution as needed. If you have no idea what the preceding sentence means, I suggest you choose the first option.
* In your main tex file, change `\bibliographystyle{plainnat}` to `\bibliographystyle{plainnatrev}` and perform a full recompile cycle: LaTeX, BibTeX, and LaTeX twice more.
Happy BibTeXing!

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/262813 | Small Caps with Gill Sans MT | false | Since you are using `fontspec`: If you need to fake small caps, you might wish to use the `FakeStretch` optional argument. See the `fontspec` manual. You might also wish to increase the letter spacing, but I believe that FakeStretch already helps you there.
If you downscale uppercase letters, to make fake small caps, then the weight (thickness) of the characters also decreases in proportion. You can compensate in the horizontal direction using FakeStretch. Compensation should not be exactly the inverse of the shrinkage, since small caps are normally slightly lighter than uppercase.
Fontspec also has `FakeBold` but I am reluctant to use it. I do not know its algorithm. At least in some font editors, using the equivalent of FakeBold runs the risk of generating self-crossing or ambiguous glyph outlines. But FakeStretch is merely a one-dimensional scale, so that should not cause any problems.
FakeStretch will leave the horizontal bars (and serifs) alone, so they will be too thin. But this may escape notice. Depends on the font.
On a related note, some folks like to put acronyms in "medium caps" between
small caps and uppercase. If you do that, it is usually better to upscale true small caps (if available) and unstretch the widths, rather than downscale uppercase and stretch the widths.

(I also am working on converting a thesis from the 1980s.)
```
\pdfximage width .25\hsize{man.png}
\pdfrefximage\pdflastximage
```
which worked immediately for me using the pdftex command. Thank you!
However, the image is not centered on the page but up against the left margin. Does anyone know how to center the image?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/294929 | Centering images in Plain TeX when using pdftex | true | You can do in vertical mode (i.e after empty line):
```
\centerline{\pdfximage width .25\hsize{man.png}
\pdfrefximage\pdflastximage}
```
or
```
\pdfximage width .25\hsize{man.png}
\centerline{\pdfrefximage\pdflastximage}
```
The first line only loads data of the image to the memory (it is used in PDF file as a numerated object) but doesn't draw it. The number of this object is accessible by `\pdflastximage` register. And the primitive `\pdfrefximage <num>` really draws the image saved in the object `<num>`.
The `\centerline` plain TeX macro is defined as
```
\def\centerline#1{\hbox to\hsize{\hss#1\hss}}
```
so, it does centering of its parameter to the width `\hsize`.
Another method is doing this in vertical mode:
```
\noindent\hfil ...image...
```
finalized by empty line. This works if the the value of the `\parfillskip` register is `0pt plus 1fil`. This is very common value. The value is used as `\hskip` at the end last line of each paragraph.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682485 | 0 | I want to use the exam class for a project and have already learned that using multiple questions environments causes some problems. Therefore, I wanted to include everything inside of one questions environment. Now I got some problems with the resulting margins, which you can see using the following snippet:
```
\documentclass[]{exam}
\firstpageheadrule
\runningheadrule
\begin{document}
\begin{questions}
\section{Name}
\question What is the value of $x$ in $x^2 = 4$?
\section{Next Section}
\question Bob has 2 apples, what is the temperature of the sun?
\end{questions}
\end{document}
```
In general, I want the sections to align with the header rule. One solution would be that the number of the questions (main questions, not subquestions) is inside the margin so that the section and the text of the questions align with the rule. Another solution would be to shift the questions so that the number of the questions and the sections align, and both also align with the head rule. Sadly I am not able to create any of those solutions. Can you help me?
So far, I tried solutions with `\fullwidth`, `EnvFullwidth` and changing the `hoffset`/`offsidemargin`, but none of my attempts led to a satisfying solution.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682684 | 0 | Is it possible to specify how to color a variable with `mintinline`? What I mean is, for instance, to use `\mintinline{python}{myClass}` and color `myClass` as a Class variable, or as a function. If I use the command as it is, I just get black color by default, but strings are colorized correctly, like `\mintinline{python}{'a string'}`.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/14561 | Minted: colorize variable in inline mode | true | I don't think this is possible. To start with your mark-up must convey to Pygments the info that `myClass` is a class object name. Perhaps while registering a dedicated lexer with Pygments which will simply tokenize every word in the input as a class name. Meanwhile, you can do some reverse-engineering and produce for example this:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{minted}
\makeatletter
\newcommand\highlightaspyclass[1]{%
\minted@generate@PYGdef{default}%
{\minted@PYGdef@default\PYG{n+nc}{#1}}%
}%
\makeatother
\begin{document}
This is highlighted \highlightaspyclass{myClass}.
\end{document}
```
Basically for this I started from some
```
\begin{minted}{python}
class myClass:
pass
\end{minted}
```
in the document, ran latex and went to see the pygmentize output mark-up which turned out to be `\PYG{n+nc}{myClass}` which will thus a priori the mark-up for Python Class objects which I could abstract into a sort of generic `\highlightaspyclass` command.
Then some digging into minted source code and by luck it was possible to do the above. "default" stands for the "style" variable defined via `\usemintedstyle`, so update the above if using a custom one. (section `3.4 Using different styles` in the minted doc).
You will need to repeat the above preliminary procedure for each other type of token and create an associated custom macro.
Mind that things such as compatibility with being used in section titles or the like might get lost and perhaps handling of special characters requiring sanitization that `\mintedinline` does in its way and is not done in our custom hacked command.
You must run the above with shell-escape, as generally with minted.
EDIT: you will also have to set manually the typeface, like for example using monospace font family which I have not done here.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/255038 | Table: overfull hbox | false | First of all, here's a recommended reading [tables](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Tables).
Second of all, don't use table generators!
Frankly, ChatGPT can produce much cleaner code for simple tables like yours.
Anyway, the link leads to content, after reading which you should be able to create this and even more complicated tables without much help.
Based on your example, the table is too wide and doesn't fit within a page.
Out of many solutions, I think you could make two groups and stack them together or rotate and render the table vertically (see the sections below).
You should also use captions instead of extra top headers, which can be formatted if you wish;
e.g. in codes below, uncomment lines of `\DeclareCaption...` and lines inside `\captionsetup` to make the caption bold but I wouldn't recommend it.
If cells are too wide, `p{}`-type column creates paragraph-like cells and add line breaks if necessary. Also see [Mico](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/682726/31283)'s answer for example of using `X`-type for unified columns.
Alternatively, it's possible to add line breaks manually with convenient macros such as `\thead` for headers or `\makecell` for regular cells.
In both cases `\\` is accepted but both macros require additional `makecell` package.
On top of that, `\Gape` in the last headers increase row height to add more space for headers (also requires `makecell` package).

BTW: Options `oneside` and `chapterprefix=false` are defaults with `scrreprt`. Option `usegeometry` make sense only if you would load package `geometry`.
An alternative suggestion would be, to use the LaTeX mark mechanism also for the text of the chapter thumb, e.g., using the new commands documented in `ltmarks-doc.pdf` (available in every LaTeX distribution, that provides these commands):

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/131917 | 8 | Looking for properly formatted BibTeX citations for articles or books can be tedious. I used to use the functionality from Google Scholar, but found that for many cases the BibTeX files are poorly formatted, are missing information, or even contain wrong information.
For mathematics papers, <http://www.ams.org/mathscinet/> appears to be a reasonable alternative. But it is manually maintained and unfortunately a paid service (many universities have access).
Are there other similar databases, possibly for other fields of science?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/13262 | Well-maintained BibTeX Databases | false | As of now, none exists.
E.g., if you search for "model checking" in <http://www.bibtexsearch.com/>, you would notice BibTeX entries for publications that lack certain information, such as the addresses of publishers.
Prof. Jason Mars (<https://midas.umich.edu/faculty-member/jason-mars/>) had a script (a Python script, or a similar programming language) that could grab information from the ACM Digital Library (<https://dl.acm.org/>).
Unfortunately, I noticed that the ACM Digital Library can contain incorrect information for names (diacritics problem), titles (mathematical expression typesetting problem), publishers (diacritics problem), and addresses (diacritics problem) that have diacritics, diacritical marks, accents, or mathematical notations. Likewise, other digital/online libraries from other publishers have the same problem.
This is true, regardless of whether they provide access to the suggested BibTeX entry for each publication in the digital/online library.
I believe that cultural/ethnic bias also plays a role in complicating the ability of these digital libraries to track authors over time to determine who claims to be the (co-)author of a publication, due to people can use different versions of their names. E.g., using the initial (or first letter) of their first name, or initials for the first and middle names, or list all their middle names for a subset of their publications but not others. For people who come from populations with many people have the same first name and last name, but different middle names (if any, at all), this becomes complicated when people are not consistent in how they name themselves. People do change their names, not necessarily when they get married or change their gender identity, but also for other reasons. For people who live in English-speaking countries that have had to work with people who use computer technology, or typewriters back in the day, they may have used versions of their names without diacritics, but now do.
E.g., does "J. Smith" for a publication refers to John Smith, Jason Smith, or another Smith. What happens when people with the same tuple/set of first name and last name work in a research topic?
Fancy natural language processing, computer vision (for PDF only publications that lack text-only versions of the publications), and other artificial intelligence technologies, can help us with the aforementioned problems, including validating information in a given BibTeX entry with information that can be obtained from a valid and decent (quality of the images, PDF document, or physical copy of the publication/book) copy of the publication.
While we can all share our BibTeX databases, or set of BibTeX entries, do you trust that other people have done due diligence in validating information that they included in their BibTeX databases? After all, I just indicated the problems of publishers having problems validating/checking the information of BibTeX entries for their publications, including those associated with professional societies in computer science and computer engineering, or related field (such as electrical and computer engineering), such as ACM and IEEE.
However, start now, and over time you can accumulate tens of thousands of BibTeX entries in your BibTeX database. I have a BibTeX database with more than 20,000 BibTeX entries.

You can change the indentation of paragraphs using the command `\setlength{\parindent}{Xpt}` where X is the length of the indentation you want in points. For example: `\setlength{\parindent}{20pt}`.
If you want to change the vertical space between paragraphs, you can use the command `\setlength{\parskip}{Xpt}` where X is the length of the space you want in points. For example: `\setlength{\parskip}{10pt}`.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/44119 | Check release date of LaTeX distribution | true | Your last version doesn't work because you need `\makeatletter` to use `@` in command names. The recommended way is to define:
```
\makeatletter
\providecommand\IfFormatAtLeastTF{\@ifl@t@r\fmtversion}

```
then use `\IfFormatAtLeastTF` throughout. `\providecommand` will only define the command if it doesn't exist yet, which is exactly what you want.
---
If you are writing a package or class, I wouldn't advise you to support LaTeX versions older than 3 or 4 years. TeXLive 2015 is *old*, and there is really no reason to use it nowadays: back then, support for older versions was important because (mainly) of Overleaf and arXiv, but both now use recent enough distributions.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/236300 | Use \DeclareUnicodeCharacter with combined Unicode characters | false | It is hard, bordering impossible, to support unicode combining characters with pdftex.
This is not much of a problem in practice as (if using luatex is not an option) you can usually pre-process to handle the combinations.
For example if instead of using pdflatex directly you use `myscript` which is
```
sed -e 's/\(.\)\xcc\x83/\\tilde{\1}/g' \
-e 's/\(.\)\xcc\x85/\\bar{\1}/g' \
-e 's/\(.\)\xe1\xb7\x89/\\acute{\\grave{\\acute{\1}}}/g' \
-e 's/\(.\)\xcc\x82/\\hat{\1}/g' \
$1 > $1-
pdflatex $1-
```
then with `file.tex`
```
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$x̃, x̅, X̅, f̅, f᷉, f̂$
\end{document}
```
the command `myscript file.tex` produces
The script is written using bash syntax but a .bat file for windows could be used with a suitable windows sed (or perl or python)

(Of course, if your document has neither footnotes nor tables, you don't have to worry about this point, do you?) Instead, I suggest you load the [setspace](https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/setspace) package and issue various `\setstretch{xx}` directives, where "xx" is a stretch or shrinkage factor; a value of 1.0 is the default.
I've performed a number of side by side tests with MS Word and LaTeX to determine which arguments of `\setstretch` correspond to the 1.15, 1.5, and 2.0 stretch settings of MS Word. All tests use "A4" as the default paper size. The font is Times Roman, the font size is 12pt in LaTeX and 12bp ("big points", aka "Adobe points") in Word. The LaTeX document class is `book`, and the margin width is 2.5cm on all four sides in both test documents.

If you have both a LaTeX and an MS Word installation at hand, you may verify for yourself that the MS Word line spacing options "Single", "1.5 Lines", "Double", and "Multiple - 1.15" correspond to `\setstretch{1.0}`, `\setstretch{1.5}`, `\setstretch{2.0}`, and `\setstretch{1.2}`. Yes, that's `1.2`, not `1.15`, in the argument of the final `\setstretch` directive.
In case you're curious, the 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, and 2.0 stretch factors serve to place 48, 40, 32, and 24 lines of text per page in the test document defined above. (The stretch factor 1.15 would place 34, not 32, lines on the first page.)
Interestingly, the stretch factors of 1.5 and 2.0 do *not* correspond to the `onehalfspacing` and `doublespacing` options of the `setspace` package; the latter two options actually correspond to stretch factors of 1.241 and 1.655 if the main document font size is 12pt. Somewhat reassuringly, though, the `singlespacing` package option does correspond to a stretch factor of 1.0.
Finally, a couple of screenshots, for (a) MS Word with line spacing option 1.15 and (b) LaTeX with `\setstretch{1.2}`.
Observe that both documents have 32 lines of text on the left and 8 lines of text on the right.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/539357 | 4 | As an academic writer using (La)TeX to write documents, there is always a question we had for iPad...
Can the newest generation [iPad-pro 2020](https://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/) run LaTex such as TexShop or other (La)TeX software that you use on MacBook (Pro)? and then produce a PDFTeX?
1. If yes, please provide how to do it.
2. If not, what are the other resolutions to use/compile (La)TeX?
What comes into my mind:
* [Overleaf](https://www.overleaf.com/): run LaTex online. (This answer does not exist in 2010.)
* other lists from <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_TeX_editors>
I suppose the [iPad-pro 2020](https://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/) may make new differences for us to run (La)TeX on iPad?
(p.s. There was a prior question in 2010 but now we are in 2020, the answer was 10 years ago:
[Is there a (La)TeX distribution running on iPad?](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/8021/41144))

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/201382 | 11 | I'm not sure if it is a good idea to maintain a single large bibtex database or if I should split it into multiple smaller ones. I have compiled a very large India-specific database (over 100,000 records) from various sources.
So, what are the most important positives and negatives for one approach or the other one? Is there any difference in how bibtex and biblatex treat big data files? Are there any threats to be considered with either approach?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/134611 | Large bibtex/biblatex database | false | As of the late 2010s, multiple BibTeX-supporting reference management software, which I have used and can accept BibTeX databases as input, would fail to load BibTeX databases with more than 5000 BibTeX entries.
While LaTeX can support multiple BibTeX databases/files in its `\bibliography{}` command, I want to simplify the process/heuristic for creating the BibTeX key that I assign for/to each BibTeX entry in my BibTeX database(s). E.g., to create my preferred BibTeX key, I use the author's last name, or the first co-author's last name, appended by the year. Smith2000 is an example. For publications that yield multiple BibTeX keys with the same preferred BibTeX key, I would append a letter (assigned in alphabetical order) to the preferred BibTeX key. This is based on the author-date method for referencing publications, or Harvard referencing style or Harvard citation style. It is a type of parenthetical referencing.
Else, it would cause confusion. E.g., if multiple BibTeX databases for a given LaTeX document use the same BibTeX key for different references, this would create problems when interpreting/processing the BibTeX databases/files. My guess is that the first occurring instance of the BibTeX key would have its entry used, while the rest are ignored. Also, if I am unable to track the error message to the subset of BibTeX databases/files with the problem, I would have problems addressing/fixing the problem.
Such problems can be avoided by using a script to create a set of all the BibTeX keys that are found in all the BibTeX databases. If any repeated instances of BibTeX keys are found, it can report an error/warning, so that we can be notified of the problem and fix it by changing the repeating/"offending" BibTeX keys to new BibTeX keys.
Reference for using multiple BibTeX databases/files:
<https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Bibliography_Management#Getting_current_LaTeX_document_to_use_your_.bib_file>
I do not have problems with typesetting LaTeX documents with 20,000 references, except for using the `\cite{}` LaTeX command to cite more than 20,000 references in a LaTeX document. I created a workaround for the problem by partitioning the list of BibTeX keys into multiple cite commands. I used a Python script to grab a list of all the BibTeX keys in my BibTeX database/file, and print the BibTeX keys in sets of 10 per `\cite{}` LaTeX command.
You can validate this by using the `\nocite{*}` LaTeX command to list all the BibTeX entries in the bibliography of the LaTeX document, without having to specify all of the BibTeX keys in the BibTeX database(s).
<https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Bibliography_Management#No_cite>
Using a single BibTeX database also makes it easier for me to share my BibTeX database with others. I do not need to keep track of where all the BibTeX databases/files are. I use a single BibTeX database for all LaTeX documents.
An advantage of sufficiently small BibTeX databases, of less than 1,000 BibTeX entries, multiple open-source, and monetarily free, reference management software would accept these BibTeX databases. Consequently, their BibTeX parsers would check for compliance with the BibTeX language. Else, you have to use the aforementioned `\nocite{*}` LaTeX command to typeset a simple LaTeX document to check if your BibTeX database(s) comply with the BibTeX language specification. You can also build your own parser, or script to check for common problems that you may make when creating and updating your BibTeX database(s).

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682736 | 3 | I want to set 1.15 line spacing (as there is option in microsoft word) for the entire content in book class. I referred to some question on this site. I found the following.
`\linespread{1.667}` sets double space (2.0 line spacing as in microsoft word).
`\linespread{1.25}` sets one and half space (1.5 line spacing as in microsoft word).
How to set line spacing 1.15 as required in microsoft word? Would the command `\linespread{0.958}` set 1.15 line spacing as in microsoft word?
I also have another query. If in a class file it is set as `\AtBeginDocument{\linespread{0.958}}` will it affect the entire content in book? Should I use it before or after `\LoadClass{book}`?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/75476 | How to achieve the equivalent of the MS Word "1.15" Line Spacing option with the LaTeX 'book' document class? | false | This is general information, rather than an answer to the question. But it is definitely worth knowing, for anyone who is writing a book (in any document class) and is familiar with a word processor.
Most word processors assume that the glyph metrics (size and space of the character drawings) obey this limitation: The distance from lowest point on any glyph, to the highest point on any other glyph, does not exceed 1.2 times the font size. This includes modifiers such as diacriticals.
For example, suppose that the lowest point is the bottom of lowercase "y",
and the highest point is the top of uppercase "Aacute" or "Aring". This is typical for Western language fonts. If the font size is F (measured in pt or bp or anything else), then the distance from bottom to top should not exceed 1.2F.
That allows the word processor (or TeX) to use a minimum line skip of 1.2F, confident that there will be no clash between low and high points of the characters.
Most fonts are designed with this limitation in mind. A few are not.
For English writers, or anyone not using such things as accented uppercase letters, it is possible to have line skip lower than 1.2F. Even with accented uppercase, there is a low chance that such a letter will happen to be directly underneath a character with greatest descender, so it is sometimes possible to use less than 1.2F. But for languages with stacked diacritical marks, 1.2F is not enough.
If not enough line skip is provided, then some lines will move apart. This may look unsightly.
I am not certain whether to original question referred to line skip of 1.15F,
or to 1.15x1.2F, or something else.
Books intended for causal reading (fiction) often use more than the minimum line skip.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682814 | 1 | Many writing systems / scripts, including Latin and Cyrillic, have one or more cursive forms, where letters are connected, with forms depend on the letters before and after them. While one can create somewhat-grotesque rough approximations of such writing (see [this question](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/291313/5640) for example) by relying on a small number of fixed glyphs as the different forms of a character - this actually requires more careful modeling, involving continuous rather than discrete spaces of parameters of glyph-forms, the possibility of adjusting lengths and heights of connective glyph-curves for connection to the previous and next glyph etc. In some cursive systems, the vertical position also varies as one moves forward along a word, so that words or lines move in a diagonal rather than on a straight line (see [this example](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nastaliq#/media/File:Khatt-e_Nastaliq.jpg) of Nasta'liq Arabic script).
Do any of the layout engines in the TeX world support cursive typesetting, even in a single writing system? Do any font representation systems support it? If not, are there plans or project to introduce such support?

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682814 | 1 | Many writing systems / scripts, including Latin and Cyrillic, have one or more cursive forms, where letters are connected, with forms depend on the letters before and after them. While one can create somewhat-grotesque rough approximations of such writing (see [this question](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/291313/5640) for example) by relying on a small number of fixed glyphs as the different forms of a character - this actually requires more careful modeling, involving continuous rather than discrete spaces of parameters of glyph-forms, the possibility of adjusting lengths and heights of connective glyph-curves for connection to the previous and next glyph etc. In some cursive systems, the vertical position also varies as one moves forward along a word, so that words or lines move in a diagonal rather than on a straight line (see [this example](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nastaliq#/media/File:Khatt-e_Nastaliq.jpg) of Nasta'liq Arabic script).
Do any of the layout engines in the TeX world support cursive typesetting, even in a single writing system? Do any font representation systems support it? If not, are there plans or project to introduce such support?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/5640 | Does any of the TeX engines support proper cursive typesetting? | false | The issue can be solved by "generalized ligatures". They are provided by classical TeX.
For example, I created the font [Slabikar](http://petr.olsak.net/ftp/olsak/slabikar/) in 1997. The generalized ligatures are saved to TFM by Metafont. The article about the font [linked here](http://petr.olsak.net/ftp/olsak/slabikar/slabi.pdf) describes all these principles and includes illustrations.

That being said:
* you could simplify the `t1` node a lot. Using math mode to stack the text above each other seems very cumbersome.
* you should really clean up your preamble. Many of the packages are outdated and the .log file will tell you this after each compilation. Also don't need to load all the ams\* package, as beamer does this automatically.
* not sure if this is your actual image, or just a shorted example, but I think it would be much easier to draw all three components in a single picture, then tikz can properly position the elements for you.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682861 | 1 |
I'm trying to write a function to ease the drawing of figures. I called this function `\drawcurve` as is shown below. It's purpose is to create a curve between 2 lines indicated by coordinates in it's arguments. It looks like this:
`\drawcurve{<line1_co1>}{<line1_co2>}{<line2_co1>}{<line2_co2>}{<curve settings>}`
I'm however stumbling on the problem that due to my definition for coordinate v1 and v2, the tikz library also reserves space on the figure for these undrawn coordinates causing my figure to be lobsided. Up until now, I haven't been able to figure out how to make either tikz not reserve space for these coordinates or avoid using the coordinate definition altogether. How can I achieve this?
The code of the figure I'm making is also included. The problem doesn't seem extremely bad in this case, but as I would like to use the command `\drawcurve` often during my Thesis, it needs to work in every circumstance.
I hope my question is clear.
Thanks!

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682813 | 2 | How to put text at the end of a line (outmost right) in an align\* environment?
I have a set of equations in align\* and at the end of each line I want to write a little bit text which explains that line. And I want it to be at the right of each line.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/294982 | Text at end of math-line in align environment | false | There are two different kinds of objects that can adorn an equation:
1. a number or tag or
2. an “explanation”.
The number or tag doesn't belong in the equation: it's just a convenience for cross references, handier than “the third equation on page 234”.
An explanation instead *is* part of the equation (or the step in a derivation) and should not be flush right. The code:
```
\begin{alignat*}{2}
a+(b+s(c))
&=a+s(b+c) &\qquad& \text{(definition)} \\
&=s(a+(b+c)) && \text{(definition)} \\
&=s((a+b)+c)) && \text{(induction)} \\
&=(a+b)+s(c) && \text{(definition)}
\end{alignat*}
```
The same (ab)using `\tag`:
```
\begin{align*}
a+(b+s(c))
&=a+s(b+c) \tag{definition} \\
&=s(a+(b+c)) \tag{definition} \\
&=s((a+b)+c)) \tag{induction} \\
&=(a+b)+s(c) \tag{definition}
\end{align*}
```
But this has an obvious problem: if the document class specifies `leqno`, you'd get
with no warning.
A possible way out is to use `flalign*`
```
\documentclass[leqno]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{showframe}
\begin{document}
After observing that $a+(b+0)=a+b=(a+b)+0$ we can proceed to prove
the associativity of addition by induction, namely
\begin{flalign*}
&&a+(b+s(c))
&=a+s(b+c) &&\text{(definition)} \\
&&&=s(a+(b+c)) &&\text{(definition)} \\
&&&=s((a+b)+c)) &&\text{(induction)} \\
&&&=(a+b)+s(c) &&\text{(definition)}
\end{flalign*}
\end{document}
```
But I'd stay with the first display, for the reasons outlined at the beginning.

* also works in conjunction with the externalize package
* also works if you want to embed it in an amsmath align environment
* works with the beamer document class
My current attempt is in the MWE below:
```

%original environment works with ampersand replacement
%but does not externalize
\begin{align*}
\begin{tikzcd}[ampersand replacement=\&]
H \& \ar[l]
\end{tikzcd}
\end{align*}
\end{document}
```
I had wondered if a simple solution would be to get ampersand replacement working again within the new environment. But even if I directly replace all instances of & with \pgfmatrixnextcell, the quantikz environment doesn't seem to work inside align.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/148934 | Resolving tikzcd/externalize/align incompatibilities | true | Here's a defintion of `quantikz` that grabs the body and replaces every `&` in it with a `\pgfmatrixnextcell`.
Then, it places a `tikzpicture` environment in a way that the `external` accepts it (having `\end{tikzpicture}` not hidden in another macro) and disables the `tikzpicture` environment inside `tikzcd`. For this the options to `\tikzcd` (`\begin{tikzcd}`) will be moved to the `tikzpicture` environment which is where it's usually placed anyway.
This does *not patch* the `tikzcd` environment in any regard but only provides a new `quantikz` environment which should work like the original `tikzcd` environment but with `&` even inside an argument to a macro and with activated externalization.

As you can see, I am using a KOMA-script class. In this document, I want to have horizontal lines after the header, and before the footer. It would look something like
```
header
--------
Text of the document
-------
footer
```
I know it can be done using fancyhdr package, along with renewcommand (as shown [here](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/109153/how-to-add-horizontal-line-after-header-and-before-footer)). But is it possible to do the same using scrlayer-scrpage package, which is default in the KOMA-script classes?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/267842 | How can I add horizontal lines after the header and before the footer in koma-script classes? | true | For horizontal lines below the header and above the footer, just use the `headsepline` and `footsepline` options of `scrlayer-scrpage`:
```

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682509 | 1 | Running latexmk, I sometimes get files lualatex1234.fls.
Would be interesting where they come from.
Nevertheless, I want to erase
and so aded to `.latexmkrc`
```
$clean_ext .= " %R.synctex.gz %R.*.vrb lualatex17420.fls";
```
Beleave or not, whereas the synctex files are erased
and also the vrb files (coming from beamer class),
even though \* represents arbitrary numbers,
the lualatex files are not erased.
I suspect, latexmk expects some placeholder or i dont know.
Maybe in latexmk another variable would be nice
holding the current processor,
so that I can write configs which also work for xelatex.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/60463 | latexmk: does not clean lualatex[number].fls | false | The description for `$clean_ext` in the latexmk documentation explains all this. The items in `$clean_ext` are either extensions of files to be removed (with the basename being that of the main .tex file), or contain the place holder `%R` (for the basename of the main .tex file).
There is at present no convenient way of getting latexmk to automatically remove the files like `lualatex17420.fls` that sometimes are generated when a \*latex program is terminated prematurely. (The integer in the filename is the process number of the process generating the file, so it will change from run to run.) Latexmk is somewhat conservative about what files it automatically deletes, because of the danger of unexpectedly deleting files that have nothing to do with the current document.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682891 | 4 | I noticed an interesting conflict between several packages. I was using symbols from `gensymb` in math mode, but this seemed to cause problems in a very particular scenario. This seems to be the case for any document class.
When I call `\usepackage{nicematrix}` before `\usepackage{gensymb}` AND call `\usepackage` on any of the following packages: `(textcomp,xfrac,chemmacros)`, I run into problems when trying to place symbols from `gensymb` into math mode. The error reads `"\textfont 4 is undefined (character W). $\ohm$"` or `"\textfont 4 is undefined (character �). $\degree$"`.
I just updated to TeX Live 2023 (full scheme) and updated my packages using tlmgr. I however had the same problems in the 2022 version as well.
Attached is a minimal working example.
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nicematrix}
\usepackage{gensymb}
%Add any of these three packages and the gensymb symbols (\degree,\ohm) do not work in math mode if nicematrix is situated before gensymb. If nicematrix is placed after gensymb, no problems arise.
\usepackage{textcomp}
%\usepackage{xfrac}
%\usepackage{chemmacros}
\begin{document}
\degree
$\degree$
\ohm
$\ohm$
\end{document}
```
I already found a workaround by placing `\usepackage{nicematrix}` after `\usepackage{gensymb}` but I was interested if anyone had a clue as to what was causing this problem.
Here is also the full log output:

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/295034 | Possible conflict between nicematrix and gensymb (and an additional package) | true | EDIT : This bug of `nicematrix` has been solved in the version 6.18 2023-04-19.
---
The reason is that `nicematrix` uses a specific a detail of the implementation of `{array}` of `array` (in order to detect empty cells --- that is to say cells with only spaces between the `&`--- in some types of columns.)
In order to detect whether `{array}` has been changed, a test is done (by composing a small tabular in a scratch box at the beginning of the document).
That's the origin of the incompatibility. Maybe I will delete that test in a future version (I'm not sure if it was a good idea).
For the moment, there is a key at load-time to disable that test:
`\usepackage[no-test-for-array]{nicematrix}`
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[no-test-for-array]{nicematrix}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{gensymb}
%Add any of these three packages and the gensymb symbols (\degree,\ohm) do not work in math mode if nicematrix is situated before gensymb. If nicematrix is placed after gensymb, no problem arises.
\usepackage{textcomp}
%\usepackage{xfrac}
%\usepackage{chemmacros}
\begin{document}
\degree
$\degree$
\ohm
$\ohm$
\end{document}
```
I will (at least) add a warning in the documentation of `nicematrix`.
Thanks for the feedback.

My only real update to the question itself would be that I would add Kindle and other common e-readers as targets along with IOS, again with the primary goal of reliably reproducing complex math, ideally with scalable (not rasterized) renderings.

With another decade behind us since then, it seems likely that options have improved, so I'd welcome an update.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/25086 | Converting LaTeX doc with extensive math to portable eBook | false | If the Ebook is going to be distributed via a commercial outlet (such as for Kindle) then you probably cannot use any fonts other than the ones built into the reader software. Partly that is avoid potential technical issues, and partly that is to avoid having them re-distribute an embedded font for which they do not have the license.
Depending on various factors, some distributors may refuse files with vector graphics, other than the simplest kind. This is unlikely to change in the near future. It is because there are many ways to write vector graphics that will display as intended with some software, but not others. The bug is in the vector graphics, not the reader software. Just as with badly-written HTML, different software may apply different guesses as to what to do. So, if you can get your graphics working on an iPAY$ device, it may be unintelligible on Windows, Linux, Android, and maybe even OSX, or it may depend on which app is used for viewing.
And finally: A lot has happened in the past 10 years. Devices now have more screen resolution, much more memory, and much more storage. Depending on how many diagrams/equations you have, and whether they are simply black/white or grayscale/color, it may be practical to rasterize them to PNG. If black/white, they can be rasterized at 1-bit per pixel before PNG compression. If rasterized to 600ppi, an image can be magnified quite a bit before pixelization is noticeable.
There's always PDF. I believe that nearly any device (including Kindle) can read it, if it does not rely on exotic features.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682881 | 1 | When I try to compile a file using XeLaTeX and fontspec that uses the Dejavu Sans font (that's of course not already installed in the MacOS system), by `\usepackage{pifont}`, or if I want to use the font CMU Serif by `\setsansfont{CMU Serif}`, fontspec cannot find the fonts (error `Package fontspec Error: The font "CMU Serif" cannot be found.`).
I'm aware that one workaround is to add the directory that provides these fonts (`/Library/TeX/Root/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype`) as a symlink inside `~/Library/Fonts`. However, doing so breaks some websites on Firefox (likely due to sandboxing and duplicate font issues), and Firefox is really that much more crucial than latex.
It's not possible that there is no other solution apart from either specifying the file path for each font or causing trouble on my entire MacOS system installation, to force `fontspec` to find a custom directory with fonts... Can anyone please help resolve this?
Related issue describing in more detail the conundrum: [Fontspec package can't find "Latin Modern Mono" on MacOS/MacTeX](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/400699/fontspec-package-cant-find-latin-modern-mono-on-macos-mactex)
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/295027 | MacOS Font Loading with XeTeX and fontspec fails | false | (a bit too long for comment)
The [fontspec](https://ctan.org/pkg/fontspec) manual mentions in **2.2 By file name** how to load by filename which is not quite same as a full file path. For example on my system
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
%\XeTeXtracingfonts1
\setmainfont{DejaVuSans}[
Extension = .ttf,
BoldFont = *-Bold,
ItalicFont = *-Oblique,
BoldItalicFont = *-BoldOblique
]
\begin{document}
abcde
\textit{abcde}
\textbf{abcde}
\textbf{\textit{abcde}}
\end{document}
```
I used the `\XeTeXtracingfonts1` in a first pass to have all details in the log file with using syntax `\setmainfont{DejaVu Sans}` and the symlinks in place. Then I could identify the font basenames (alternatively use the FontBook to get them).
Problem with the above is specifying the extension. I think I once had a problem (*warning: I doubt very much my own paragraph here, because TeXLive will have same structure everywhere, so it must have been some other context where the fonts were not in TeXLive or were installed system wide on one computer and from TeXLive in another*) of portability because on some system the font used was installed with `.otf` extension (i.e. in `texmf-dist/fonts/opentype`) and on some other with `.ttf` (in `texmf-dist/fonts/truetype`).
Reading (again) **2.2 By file name** it appears perhaps the better syntax would be here:
```
\usepackage{fontspec}
\XeTeXtracingfonts1
\setmainfont{DejaVuSans}[
Path,
BoldFont = *-Bold,
ItalicFont = *-Oblique,
BoldItalicFont = *-BoldOblique
]
\begin{document}
abcde
\textit{abcde}
\textbf{abcde}
\textbf{\textit{abcde}}
\end{document}
```
This works on my mac os after having removed the symlink to `texmf-dist/fonts/truetype` but not sure if there is some cache involved. A priori it should work on pristine install also.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682814 | 1 | Many writing systems / scripts, including Latin and Cyrillic, have one or more cursive forms, where letters are connected, with forms depend on the letters before and after them. While one can create somewhat-grotesque rough approximations of such writing (see [this question](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/291313/5640) for example) by relying on a small number of fixed glyphs as the different forms of a character - this actually requires more careful modeling, involving continuous rather than discrete spaces of parameters of glyph-forms, the possibility of adjusting lengths and heights of connective glyph-curves for connection to the previous and next glyph etc. In some cursive systems, the vertical position also varies as one moves forward along a word, so that words or lines move in a diagonal rather than on a straight line (see [this example](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nastaliq#/media/File:Khatt-e_Nastaliq.jpg) of Nasta'liq Arabic script).
Do any of the layout engines in the TeX world support cursive typesetting, even in a single writing system? Do any font representation systems support it? If not, are there plans or project to introduce such support?

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682923 | 0 | The best way to built a bibliographic style seems to rely on the use of makebst. However, most likely, you can make a formatting mistake in choosing among the numerous options that you need to set. But several posts on the forum tell that editing the .dbj file by any editor it is possible to make some adjustments to obtain the result you were looking for following a trial-and-error procedure.
I tried all this. Unfortunately, the .dbj file I got seems to contain only a list of options but not the choice that I made during the generation of the .bst.
As example, I report here the line which seems related to the date format about the year:
%DATE FORMAT (if author-year citations)% %: (def) Year plain yr-par,%: Year in parentheses% yr-brk,%: Year in brackets% yr-col,%: Year preceded by colon% yr-per,%: Year preceded by period% yr-com,%: Date preceded by comma% yr-blk,%: Year preceded by space%
But where is the choice I made so that I could modify it an produce an other .bst from this modified .bdj?
Many thanks.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/273692 | Modify a .bdj file to obtain a new .bst | true | The `.bdj` file is a TeX file, so all lines starting with `%` are comments. `makebst` uses this to list all possible options and comment not chosen options by adding a `%` in the first column, while lines of the chosen options start with a . So e.g.
```
%DATE FORMAT (if author-year citations)
% %: (def) Year plain
yr-par,%: Year in parentheses
% yr-brk,%: Year in brackets
% yr-col,%: Year preceded by colon
% yr-per,%: Year preceded by period
% yr-com,%: Date preceded by comma
% yr-blk,%: Year preceded by space
```
has a space at the beginning of the line `yr-par,%: Year in parentheses`, so you chose "Year in parentheses".
If you want to change this, replace the first space in the currently selected line with a `%` and the `%` in the newly selected line with . E.g. to select "Year in brackets", you would change the block to
```
%DATE FORMAT (if author-year citations)
% %: (def) Year plain
% yr-par,%: Year in parentheses
yr-brk,%: Year in brackets
% yr-col,%: Year preceded by colon

I added the arrow heads just to show the ends of the line.

Running `asy myfile-1.asy` in the terminal returns this error:
```
no matching variable 'byteinv'
no matching variable '_schur'
```
To fix this I've manually updated to 2.85, because was using the MiKTeX version 2.81 which didn't work properly. Now it works if I run `asy myfile-1.asy` manually, but vimtex doesn't do it automatically.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/293806 | Asymptote figures don't appear with vimtex | true | The problem is the `.asy` files can't compile because apparently the MiKTeX distribution of Asymptote doesn't have compatible files and executable, as pointed out [here](https://sourceforge.net/p/asymptote/discussion/409349/thread/909cd01735/#b805). Instead, download and install Asymptote from [here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/asymptote/) and copy the files from `C:\Program Files\Asymptote` (not sure if you need all the files but it works for me) into the same directory as the incompatible version (`C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64` in my case) (there might be another way to use the correct executable without copying the files, but that's beyond my knowledge). I think you also need to rename the `asy.exe` file you copied to `miktex-asy.exe`.
Now you can compile the `.asy` files by executing them with the Asymptote program or in a terminal with `asy myfile-*.asy`.
Vimtex uses latexmk by default. In order to automatically compile the `myfile-*.asy` files when compiling with vimtex, you need to add a `.latexmkrc` file in the directory you're working on with the following:
```
sub asy {return system("asy \"$_[0]\"");}
add_cus_dep("asy","eps",0,"asy");
add_cus_dep("asy","pdf",0,"asy");
add_cus_dep("asy","tex",0,"asy");

I've tried many ways of using Garamond (e.g. `\usepackage{ebgaramond}`), which is supposedly packed in TeX Live as far as I know.

```
What am I missing? Do I need to install extra stuff? (I've installed TeX Live through AUR's [`texlive-full`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/texlive-full))
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/64441 | Can't Find Garamond Font | false | Can you switch to the `lualatex` compiler, and use the `fontspec` package for loading fonts? With `fontspec` you can load fonts directly by font name, even if it is a system (rather than TeX) font.
When you write `\usepackage` or `\RequestPackage` TeX looks for a `*.sty` file. Even if you are looking for fonts, it will look for `FontName.sty` rather than `FontName.otf` or other font type.
Some font packages require their own `*.sty` file, which contains information about math substitutions and other stuff. Some font packages may provide a dummy `*.sty` file, just in case TeX looks for it.
Try this, compiled with `lualatex` not `pdflatex` (and be sure that everything is utf-8 encoded):
```
\documentclass{article}

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682874 | 1 | I feel exhausted and frustrated from trying to use some of the fonts from: <https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/> , e.g. Calligraphical and Handwritten Fonts, Other (mostly decorative) Fonts, etc. I have tried many of the comments/suggestions from tex.stackexchange.com and I still fail :-(. I have carefully examined the log files but nothing I saw in them was the "key" to solving the problems associated with the LaTeX code. I have been using LaTeX for over 40 years and thought I could find at least one possible solution; but, now I must stop working on this.
Please, I beg of you, take a close look at why there are so many font problems being reported with miktex 22, 23 and see if there is a fix that really works.
I am using **miktex 4.9 console** in the administrator mode. I have reinstalled miktex at least 7 times by now -- still font problems. The following is taken from the **System Report.txt** file generated by TeXstudio 4.5.1 (git 4.5.1) Using Qt Version 6.4.2, compiled with Qt 6.4.2 RTeXstudio (4.5.1):

where pdflatex: C:\Program Files\MiKTeX\miktex\bin\x64\pdflatex.exe
PDFLATEX: pdflatex.exe -version
MiKTeX-pdfTeX 4.14 (MiKTeX 23.1)
I will prepare an example that should be helpful in finding the problems associated with "special" fonts in TeXstudio.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/80252 | How to use the different fonts available for LaTeX -- miktex (23.1) on a windows 10 platform? | false | I will take the wild guess that since you have been using TeX for 40 years, you are still trying to do things the ancient way.
Can you compile with `lualatex`? Yes, it's in MiKTeX. You text must be utf-8 encoded (I believe even Windows does that, nowadays). Your fonts must be `*.otf` or `*.ttf` but NOT the old Type 1 PostScript fonts. They do not need to come from TeX (even system fonts will work). Try this, compiled with `lualatex`:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Your Favorite Font} % Actual font name.
\begin{document}
Hello, World!
\end{document}
```
Now, some TeX fonts are not available as `*.otf` or `*.ttf`. In this case, you can use the `FontForge` program to import the existing font format, and convert it to `*.otf` (Open Type).
BIG EDIT:
I can get Starburst to work. Do these things:
1. Download the `initials` zip package directly from CTAN. Unzip it
in your home directory (not within TeX).
2. Install FontForge. Open file `Starburst.pfb` in FontForge.
3. FontForge Menu Encoding > Reencode > Unicode (BMP).
4. Edit > Select > Select All.
5. Element > Correct Direction.
6. Hints > Clear Hints.
7. Element > Overlap > Remove Overlap.
8. Element > Font Info > PS Private > New > BlueValues
9. File > Generate Fonts > choose OpenType (CFF).
You will get a dialog box informing you that there are missing extrema,
wrong direction, self-intersection. Ignore that, and generate the font.
The messages are meaningful, but not worth fixing without expertise.
Then you will have Starburst.otf. It is an OpenType font.
In a place such as your TEXMFHOME directory, create fonts/opentype/initials
and drop a copy of Starburst.otf in there. Then refresh the files
(MiKTeX has a button to press, Linux uses command `mktexlsr`).
Do not `\usepackage{initials}` or `starburst` or anything of the sort.
Instead, compile with lualatex, like this:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{EB Garamond} % or whatever
\newfontface\shazam{Starburst}
\begin{document}
{\shazam Hello World !}\par
And hello to Martians, too.\par
\end{document}
```
Result:
Ok @rallg,
Your procedure for using FontForge, although rather complex, worked and the following Latex code worked with Texstudio and Texmaker :-).
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Lucida Sans} % or whatever
\newfontface\shazam{Starburst-Regular}
\begin{document}
{\shazam Hello World !}\par
And hello to Martians, too.\par
\end{document}
```
I still can not understand how to add a comment on someone else's comment. Example, if I hit a CR (carriage return) for a new line, then my comment on their comment is posted -- this is not what should happen IMHO!

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682185 | 1 | I downloaded the ISO image of TeXlive 2023 (specifically, texlive2023-20230313.iso). I also checked the SHA512 sum, and it was good. This ISO was too big to unpack onto any DVD\_RW that I had on hand, so I used Gnome MultiWriter to "burn" the ISO to the USB. This was accomplished without any error.
Using root privileges, I issued the command `# perl install-tl -gui`. Rather than getting the GUI (despite the fact that I have Tcl/Tk installed), a message flashed by, in the gist of `cannot execute wish...` but this was not retrievable. I then got the interface, below:

```
I did relent, gave up on having access to the GUI, and simply plugged away with this command-line menu, setting options etc. I then executed the action .
I must point out that **installation does *not*, in fact, take place.**
I've read the documentation, but I cannot see where the error is.
---
I carried out **all** of the installation commands while operating as **"root"**
```
/
/
Enter command: I
Installing to: /usr/local/texlive/2023
root@username-computername:/media/username/TeXLive2023#
/
/
/
```
at this juncture, I waited 15 minutes (as there was *some* HDD activity). But when I checked, a directory `/usr/local/texlive/2023` still had not been created.
I did the same routine with the installer as before, but instead I asked for it to print the installation profile only, then exit `<P>`. The terminal output made it appear as if something was being 'printed' (to file), but I searched all of my directory tree, and it is NOT there.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/287274 | Install TeXlive 2023 from DVD-USB fails | false | I had previously installed TeXlive 2022 using the DVD method (note that 2022 was small enough to fit on a standard 4.7GB DVD, but 2023 is ~6GB and I had to move to a USB stick). I did not have any problem of this sort when installing 2022 from the DVD, which was created from an ISO image.
I persevered. As noted above, I ran the installer several times as 'root' and as 'user' with the same failure mode (it simply refused to start).
I did go through the installation routine and checked each of the installation directories that were suggested (using the "D" option before running the installer). There was nothing weird there. And during the prior installation of 2022 from DVD, I didn't do anything w.r.t the directories, just accepted the defaults and ran the installer.
I hit upon the idea of manually creating the primary directory for the new installation (being: `/usr/local/texlive/2023`). I then tried the installation again. And, it ran and installed successfully.
In summary, it seems that the 2023 installer either doesn't have the `mkdir` function at all, or there is some problem with it creating the primary directory (again, in my case, `/usr/local/texlive/2023`). Any and all of the other directories required were subsequently created by the TeXlive 2023 installer.
The other issue is, as noted in the original query, that the `install-tl gui` or `install-tl -gui` command doesn't work (*regardless* of whether one attempts to run it as 'root' or as 'user'); it didn't seem to generate an error message, it just gave me the terminal-window display instead.
I will post a note on the TUG site about this, and link back to this question.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682989 | 5 | I run TexLive Utility infrequently (about twice a year, because I concentrate on the content I create, not on updating my installation). I would like to be able to use it, say now, for TexLive 2022, but TexLive 2023 has been released so the updates are no longer possible.
I did not succeed finding a 2022 mirror I could use so that I have a final version of it on my computer and can later decide if I want to go through the hassle of installing again TexLive in the 2023 version. Additionally I would like the TeX Live Utility to automatically suggest repositories for historical versions if available.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4371 | Can you still update a TexLive 202X when a TeXLive 202X+1 is released? | false | Thanks to several very helpful comments, I will answer my main question:
**How do you update TexLive after next year's version is released?**
You can use a repository with archives of previous versions.
<https://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/historic/systems/texlive/2022/tlnet-final>
as the time of writing,
<https://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/historic/systems/texlive/>
(mentionned by @cabohah as well) contains the texlive archives for years from 1996 to now.
[TUG Historic FTP site](ftp://tug.org/historic/systems/texlive/2022/tlnet-final) seems to work well for Europe.
1. (answer in comments by Ulrike Fischer) If you are willing to use the command line tools (which are called by the GUI Utility anyway).
tlmgr update --repository <https://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/historic/systems/texlive/2022/tlnet-final> --list
gives the list of packages to update and
```
tlmgr update --repository https://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/historic/systems/texlive/2022/tlnet-final --all
```
tries to update everything. This to run with admin rights. For more flexibility consult the manual for tlmgr. Worked well on one of my computers.
2. (tested by me for this question on 2022, on one computer) you can insert this repository address directly as the current repository in TexLive Utility. First you will need to acknowledge a dialog that the version has changed on your usual repository and that there is no update available. You insert the archive address, then validate. This will allow to make a last update of everything you want on your installation.
3. Of course, you can use CTAN to install specific pieces of the texlive galaxy with bugfixes or new features. As @rallg points out, as texlive2022 is frozen, you might as well install it in the main tree so that you avoid interaction if you finally install 2023. I had no specific style or package to upgrade to this time, so I did not use that.

I tried to change the width and height as

but this gives me an error "I do not know the key /tikz/width".
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/nan | Specifying the width and height of a tikzpicture | false | I don't know how useful this will be to others, but I found adding a node that defines a minimum width and height worked pretty well for me. I needed this because one of my nodes was of a variable width, but I needed the image to be anchored to the bottom right of the page.
The code would look like:
```
\draw (0, 0) node[inner sep=0,anchor=east,minimum width=8.75in, minimum height=112pt] {};
```
Make sure to change the `anchor` as needed.
The downside here is that if any of your nodes go outside the area defined by the first node, you picture will still grow to be larger. You might be able to avoid that by using the `\clip` option inside a scope, but I didn't experiment with that.

The following **does not** yield what I want (due to potentially applied auto-sorting of references):
```
\parencite[Chapter~0]{Author00,AnotherAuthor01}
% compiles to (Author, 2000; Another Author, 2001, Chapter 0) in my setup
% -> Note that the Chapter reference was supposed to belong to the first reference
\parencite[Chapter~0, Chapter~1]{Author00,AnotherAuthor01}
% compiles to (Author, 2000; Another Author, 2001, Chapter 0, Chapter 1) in my setup.
% The Chapter references do not "attach" to the respective reference
```
Am I missing anything in the way the biblatex commands work or do I need to use a more custom setup?
---
The following is an insufficient workaround:
```
\parencite[Chapter~0]{Author00}\parencite[Chapter~1]{AnotherAuthor01}
% compiles to (Author, 2000, Chapter 1)(Another Author, 2001, Chapter 1) in my setup.
% -> Note the interrupted brackets
```

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682961 | 1 | I want to build a \dotfill command where I can specify a minimum length.
I have tried:
```
\makebox[0.88em]{\dotfill}\dotfill
```
As the standard spacing of dotfill is 0.44em, so I get exactly two dots. However, there is a slightly bigger spacing between the first two dots and the dots from the second \dotfill command.
Does anyone have an idea how I can solve that?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/295013 | \dotfill with minimal length | false | That is a XY problem. David answer solved exactly what you asked (fix a minimun of dots, then +1) but not what you want (find a good solution for dot lines with 0-1 dots).
My crystal ball said that fix a minimum of dots is not that what you want, because force things in this way can produce a big `Overfull \hbox` (see black part of the MWE).
What my crystal ball cannot see is what other solution could you consider good for these cases, because it depends a lot of contents and personal preferences.
One simple solution could be enclose "a" and/or "b" in `\parbox`es, to ensure that that a+b will not take more than `\linewidth-0.88em`.
Another more complex (it need two runs!), is check if the width of a+b is smaller that this (taking at least b as argument of the macro) so you can use the standard `\dotfill` but otherwise do ... what you consider better. Just as example, the fix in the MWE is move the "b" part to the next line with a half dotted line.
The MWE also show that omitting the curly braces (`{}`) will take as first argument only the next character, so when "b part" is a word or sentence, it can produce wrong results.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/683029 | 1 | I have to boxes with the same table settings.
Two issues:
(1) The width of the gray background is different.
(2) It is not possible to add a multiline equation via `\begin{align*}`. (Error:
`\begin{align}` allowed only in paragraph.)
Do I need two different `\SetTblrInner[mytblr]` and `\SetTblrInner[mytblr2]`?
Here is an example with the above error:

In your code you have three errors:
* instead of `align*` you should use `aligned`
* for two line text in "Pythagorean Theorem" you should remove `\textnormal` command before curly brace (see MWE below)
* spurious math code after `align*` (remove it!)
*Off-topic*: for mark of right corner I would use:
* for labeling of shapes border you should use a way as I use at drawing of images in ma answer and you copied in "Square" part
* style for angle I would add to `tikzset` (you can change style name according to your wish)
