https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/690727 | 2 | I have a problem with the alignment of my subfigurs in a minipage-environment. My minimal example looks like this:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.5\textwidth}
\centering
\subcaptionbox{Caption zu Bild1}{\includegraphics[height=4cm]{bild1}}
\subcaptionbox{Caption zu Bild2}{\includegraphics[height=4cm]{bild2}}
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.5\textwidth}
\centering
\subcaptionbox{Caption zu Bild3}{\includegraphics[height=8cm]{bild3}}
\end{minipage}
\caption{Caption gesamt}
\label{fig:test}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
```
So this gives me three pictures, two in the first minipage and the third in the second.
But the sequence is not what i want. Right now its pic a and b in first minipage and pic c in second. But i want pic a and c in first minipage and pic b in second. Any possibility to do that?
Thanks a lot

This may be achieved by interchanging the directives (and their associated sizing options) that place the images "Bild2" and "Bild3" and by incrementing/decrementing the `subfigure` counter suitably.

Huh, didn't notice this earlier because of the amount of output, but one of the first things console is showing after running the above command, is:

As a result, the (in your example invisible) colourbox around the `quote` is too wide to fit in the reminder of the page.
To avoid this problem, leave an empty line before the `quote` to make sure it starts in a new paragraph:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/690702 | 1 | For some reasons, I need to choose one or two character to delimit placeholders in LaTeX3 strings, like:
```
I like ``NAME`OF`FRUITS``
```
in order to allow a safer replace (hence the doubling of the first and last symbol to get rid of ambiguity) + easy reading.
But finding a good character is not that easy:
* Many characters have special meanings for LaTeX and babel that redefine many characters, like `^`, `_`, `-`, `;`, `~`, `#`, `@`… I’d prefer to avoid using them to avoid espace nightmares. And I don’t know all packages, and I’m sure that some popular packages can redefine other chars.
* I’m thinking that non-ascii characters might be an issue since they might be interpreted differently on different computers. In particular, I don’t know if `°` could be a valid choice.
Is there a list of character that are basically as safe as letters to use?
**EDIT**
Here is a more concrete use case I want to consider. I basically want to be sure that no matter what is around `\robExtGetPlaceholder{__VEGETABLE__}`, the `_` should not be turned into another symbol, even after loading a popular package.
```
\documentclass{article}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\seq_clear_new:N \l_robExt_placeholders_seq
% Make sure that the placeholder is in the list \l_robExt_placeholders_seq.
% This should automatically be called by other tools
\NewDocumentCommand{\robExtAddPlaceholderToList}{m}{
\seq_put_left:Nn \l_robExt_placeholders_seq { #1 }
}
\NewDocumentCommand{\robExtPlaceholderFromContent}{mm}{

\message{Placeholder ~ #2 ~ contains: ~ \use:c{l_robExt_placeholder_#2_str}}
\IfBooleanTF{#1}{\cs_show:c { l_robExt_placeholder_#2_str }}{}
}
\NewDocumentCommand{\robExtGetPlaceholder}{m}{
\use:c{l_robExt_placeholder_#1_str}
}
\NewDocumentCommand{\robExtDebugPlaceholdersContents}{s}{
\message{List ~ of ~ placeholders:}
\seq_map_inline:Nn \l_robExt_placeholders_seq {\robExtDebugPlaceholder{##1}}
\IfBooleanTF{#1}{\cs_show:N \l_robExt_placeholders_seq}{}
}
%% I also have other commands, for instance to replace placeholders etc...
\ExplSyntaxOff
\begin{document}
\robExtPlaceholderFromContent{__FRUIT__}{Orange}
\robExtPlaceholderFromContent{__SENTENCE__}{I like __FRUIT__ and __VEGETABLE__}
$\robExtPlaceholderFromContent{__VEGETABLE__}{Salad}$
\robExtDebugPlaceholdersContents*
Does it mean that whatever think is put around the get placeholder here, it will still be interpreted correctly? (no escape, no weird replacement of the character with another character…)
$1 + \robExtGetPlaceholder{__FRUIT__} + \robExtGetPlaceholder{__VEGETABLE__}$
\end{document}

The bullet points on your question don't seem that relevant, babel, input encodings, etc (mostly) only matter if you are typesetting, but here you are just delimiting substrings.
You may think of `°` as a degree sign character, but to pdftex that is the two character tokens C2 B0 and it's just safe to use as a delimiter if the two bytes C2 B0 will never appear in the delimited string. If you double it then the delimiter is the four tokens C2 B0 C2 B0 and the answer is the same, this is safe to use as a delimiter so long as the four bytes C2 B0 C2 B0 do not appear in the data to be delimited.
The same is true of higher characters to pdftex is not a duck but the four bytes F0 9F A6 86 and you can use `...` as the delimiter so long as those four bytes do not appear in `...`
You can also use multiple bytes of printable ascii, eg `[[....]]` delimits `...` safely so long as you ensure `...` never includes `[[` or `]]`.
The details here are for classic 8bit tex such as latex or pdflatex, but the main point of the answer would be the same with xelatex or lualatex.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/690729 | 0 | Is there anyway to use a predefined reledmac standard of two-column footnote inside a paracol environment. While the two-column paracol does provide its own two-column footnote (which works fine), I have to use a journal pre-defined reledmac footnote style exclusively. What I need is for paracol footnote to be disabled and all footnotes to follow the pre-set reledmac style (thereby, avoiding the four-columned footnote style seen below).
NOTE: I realise I can take the \footnoteAtexts out of the paracol environment and thereby get the desired two-column footnote, but as the paracol text I am working with spans several pages (and can't be broken up), putting the footnoteAtexts outside the paracol environment causes the footnotes to be typset a whole lot later from where the footnoteAmarks appear. Many thanks.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/578471 | 1 | I am currently looking for a **tool** that converts a unicode code to TeX/LaTeX. Actually I have not found nothing.
There are many tools on the web that transform a symbol from LaTeX to unicode but not the vice versa.
In case there is not a tool, I have thought this: is it possible to generate a LaTeX code that transforms a *unicode symbol* into LaTeX commands? For example I have alfa in unicode and I would to obtain `\alpha`.
I can only use `pdfLaTeX` to compile my `.tex` file.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/690785 | 9 | I would like to use Times New Roman as the default font for the text in a book I have put together.
After checking this site, it seems that all I have to do is type `\usepackage{times}` in the preamble.
I did this and it seems to work.
My question is: Is there anything else (or something different) I should invoke in the preamble? I ask because the post which instructed to this this was rather old and I want to make sure there is nothing different I should be doing. Finally, may I assume that the *Times New Roman* font I use is in the public domain and am free to publish the said book with the said Times New Roman font? How may I check to be certain?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/266798 | On Using Times New Roman as the Default Font | false | The more up-to-date package for a Times-like font is [`newtx`](https://ctan.org/pkg/newtx), which is a successor to `times` through a series of intermediate and now obsolete packages.
The fonts upon which `newtx` is based are available for unrestricted use (although the package can support some non-free fonts.) Refer to the package documentation for more specific details of the fonts and pointers to license text.
Depending on which engine you use and on what features you are after, various invocations are possible (see [documentation](http://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/newtx/doc/newtxdoc.pdf)), but the simplest is just to do

This [post](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/593104/how-to-use-fontspec-in-details) shows some of its capabilities!
The only caveat with this solution, is that `fontspec` has to be run under LuaTeX or XeTeX and not regular LaTeX, but at least it works!
Regarding the usability of Times New Roman... I honestly don't know, I'd assume is good to use as is since it's packed with all Windows builds but... maybe ask the [Law Stack Exchange](https://law.stackexchange.com/)?

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/690788 | 0 | I am writing a document that involves a table of information for many sections, something like:
```
\textbf{Details:}
\begin{table}[H]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{|X|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\textbf{Number} & \textbf{Location} & \textbf{Duration (hr)} & \textbf{Labour (\$)} & \textbf{Equipment Hire/Purchase (\$)} & \textbf{Consumables (\$)} & \textbf{Total (\$)}\\
\hline
1 & In-house & 0.5 & 39 & 0 & 0 & 39\\
2 & Out-house1 & 1 & 78 & 1000 & 500 & 1578\\
3 & Out-house2 & 1.5 & 78 & 800 & 700 & 1617\\
\hline
\end{tabularx}
\end{center}
\end{table}
```
However, the data in the table needs to be summarized later for about 50 of these small tables, only to include the 'Location' 'Duration (hr)' and 'Total ($)' columns.
I have two requirements:
1. set the entries in the table as a variable that can be called on later, so I only need to enter the values in the individual tables once which then automatically get updated in the summary
2. the entries should be math operable (ie I should be able to only need to enter the first 4 numerical values and the total should be automatically calculated
My idea was something along the lines of:
```
\textbf{Details:}
\begin{table}[H]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{|X|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\textbf{Number} & \textbf{Location} & \textbf{Duration (hr)} & \textbf{Labour (\$)} & \textbf{Equipment Hire/Purchase (\$)} & \textbf{Consumables (\$)} & \textbf{Total (\$)}\\
\hline
\entry{1}{1}{1} & \entry{1}{2}{In-house} & \entry{1}{3}{0.5} & \entry{1}{4}{\entry{1}{3} * 78} & \entry{1}{5}{0} & \entry{1}{6}{0} & \entry{1}{7}{\entry1{4} + \entry{1}{5} + \entry1{6}}\\
% etc
\hline
\end{tabularx}
\end{center}
\end{table}
```
Which I can later use in a different table like this:
```
\textbf{Summary:}
\begin{table}[H]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{|X|c|c|c|}
\hline
\textbf{Number} & \textbf{Location} & \textbf{Cost (\$)} & \textbf{Duration (Hr)}\\
\hline
\entry{1}{1} & \entry{1}{2} & \entry{1}{7} & \entry{1}{3}\\
\entry{2}{1} & \entry{2}{2} & \entry{2}{7} & \entry{2}{3}\\
\entry{3}{1} & \entry{3}{2} & \entry{3}{7} & \entry{3}{3}\\
\entry{4}{1} & \entry{4}{2} & \entry{4}{7} & \entry{4}{3}\\
% etc
\mulitcolumn{2}{r|}{Total} & sum(\entry{all}{7}) & sum(\entry{all}{3})\\
\hline
\end{tabularx}
\end{center}
\end{table}
```
I Have tried
```
\newcommand{\name}[1]{\def\showname{#1}}
```
which only worked if the `\showname` was called within the same table but not in a different one (despite the `\newcommand` being in the pre-amble)
Any help is appreciated and thank you for your help!

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/266798 | On Using Times New Roman as the Default Font | true | You mention that you want to use Times New Roman font (from Microsoft) but when you use `\usepackage{times}` then you use Times font, not Times New Roman. It is explained more exactly below.
Times font was designed by Stanley Morison in 1931 for purpose of the newly established newspaper Times. This font has been digitized later by more font foundries:
* Microsoft: Times New Roman, it is part of Windows system and typographers say that it is the worst re-implementation of Times. It isn't free.
* Adobe: Font Times, it was a part of each PostScript RIP designed by Adobe. It belongs to 35 standard fonts in PostScript. They are not free. If you buy a device with PostScript RIP, then you can use them at this device. Documents needn't to download the font because the font is ready to use when printing by PostScript RIP. It is good implementation of Times, but it was originally designed in Type1 PostScript format (today obsolete) and mostly without accented Latin letters.
* URW: Nimbus Roman No9, it is relatively good re-implementation of Times. It is part of Ghostscript, a free implementation of PostScript RIP which is running in Linux systems (not in printing devices). If you are using TeX with standard configuration then `\usepackage{times}` downloads this Nimbus Roman No9 font, because the configuration is based on free fonts and old TeX engines uses their individual font world independent on fonts in the system. So, even if you happen to be using MS Windows with Times New Roman font, it isn't used.
* TeXGyre: Termes, it is very good implementation of Times. It is free and it was available in new (and now commonly used) format OpenType. It is part of typical TeX distributions (for example TeXlive). If you are using a Unicode-aware TeX engine (LuaTeX, XeTeX), then Termes is best choice for using Morison's Times font.
For example, if you are using OpTeX, then the preamble looks like:
```
\fontfam[Termes]
```
or
```
\fontfam[Times]
```
The second one is only alias to Termes and you can re-configure it if you buy a non-free re-implementation of Times. But there is no reason to do it because Termes is very good. Much better than Times New Roman, for example.
If you are using LaTeX with Unicode-aware TeX engine then you can use `\usepackage{fontspec}` and then set Termes by `\setmainfont` in your preamble.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3090 | 78 | This isn't a real question, so I'm marking it community wiki.
When I was new to LaTeX, I thought that the `\usepackage` command worked much like the `#include` command of the C language: just put whatever you need in the preamble, in whatever order you like.
But then bugs began to bite me and I realised, with growing horror, that commutative packages seem to be the exception rather than the rule.
[They](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1863/which-packages-should-be-loaded-after-hyperref-instead-of-before) [appear](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2859/should-the-fontenc-package-be-loaded-before-or-after-font-packages) so [often](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2835/possible-conflicts-with-fixltx2e) that I think it would be useful to have a list here of problematic interactions between pairs of packages, and their correct order.
Also, a question for amusement:
I want to know if there exists three packages `A`, `B` and `C`, such that `A` has to be included before `B` and `B` needs to be included before `C`, but `C` needs to be included before `A`.

I have found the package [`bigints`](http://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/bigints) but I have the feeling it is not very professional...
Any better idea?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/4594 | Big integral sign | false | A trick for producing extensible upright integrals using LuaLaTeX is demonstrated in the [documentation](http://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/newcomputermodern/doc/newcm-doc.pdf) of the [New Computer Modern](https://ctan.org/pkg/newcomputermodern) package. It defines the slot uni222B (integral) as a delimiter.

\Uleft \Udelimiter 0 0 "222B

\end{pmatrix}
\Uright.
\]
\end{document}
```
This trick can be used for other fonts as well, such as xcharter, stixtwo, concrete, tex-gyre-math fonts, gfsneohellenic\*, kpfonts, etc. It does not seem to work for fonts such as erewhon and fira. I don't know why. The length of the integral symbol and the brackets varies according to the font.
\*The matrix brackets collide at the top in this font.

If we change the definition of the `loop` it seems to work properly.
Alternatively, just specify the start coordinate again as a target.
If you want all loops to have that looseness, adjust the `every loop` style instead:
```
every loop/.append style={looseness=33}
```
Usually, the nodes to be used with loops are bigger and mostly circular which is where the default looseness and/or the min distance seem to be just right.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/690782 | 1 | I am a beginner in terms of my knowledge of LaTeX and am attempting to create a longtable that spans two consecutive pages using longtblr within tabularray. By default, the alignment of the table caption is set to center. Furthermore, the separator between the caption text and label is ":" I was wondering how to change the alingment of the label and the caption to left. I would also like to change the separator to "." but I can't figure out how to do this based on my code, part of which I have pasted below:
```
\NewTblrTheme{fancy}{
\SetTblrStyle{caption-tag}{font=\bfseries\fontsize{10}{12}\selectfont}
\SetTblrStyle{caption-sep}{font=\bfseries\fontsize{10}{12}\selectfont}

%row{1}={font=\bfseries, bg=white, fg=black},
rowsep=0.5ex,
%column{1}={font=\bfseries},
width=0.9\linewidth}
}
```
I would be very grateful for the help. Thank you!
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/300494 | tabularray with longtblr, how to change alignment of caption and caption separator | false | Turns out that, while [`tabularray`](https://ctan.org/pkg/tabularray) is a great package to do nice tables… it is not the most beginner friendly one when it comes to customization, as it relies on LaTeX3 syntax, which can be a jump in difficulty when someone is used to LaTeX2e.
I also can’t take full credit on this solution, since the one who actually took the work to show working modification on the source code was TheEndofTheWorld in [this post](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/627585/package-tabularray-and-side-caption). But here goes something that may help you!

\end{longtblr}
\end{document}
```
And this example yields the following table.
So… what is going on? There are two modification on the “default” table loaded by `tabularray` here. The first on line 10 where the original said this...
```
\DefTblrTemplate{caption-sep}{default}{:\enskip}
```
And now we change it to this!
```
\DefTblrTemplate{caption-sep}{default}{.\enskip}
```
The contents of the last brackets tell what separator we are using. The `\enskip` command is just a hit of the space bar, but it can be pretty much edited to whatever. ~~Don’t quote me on this, but in theory, setting the second bracket to “fancy” and pasting this before your original definition should have worked, but I have no idea why it didn’t on my end and is probably an issue with my build so… I’m just using dynamite to get rid of a fly because… hey! It works!~~
Line 11 contains the entire definition of the default caption, so wether we like it or not, we have to re-write everything in there to avoid making something crash. Therefore, lines 12 to 32 as exactly as the source code is.
Line 34 has the edit you need. The original line was this.
```
\makebox[\hsize][c]{\box_use:N \l__tblr_caption_box}
```
And now we have this!
```
\makebox[\hsize][l]{\box_use:N \l__tblr_caption_box}
```
The parameter in `\makebox` tells you the orientation of the contents. The original was `c` for centered, and now we use `l` for left!
~~Again, this all should work without moving the defaults on line 11 to “fancy” but… for some odd reason I can’t get it to work and I’m still scratching my head over why so… dynamite time it is!~~
I know this is not the easiest solution, but I hope that helps you edit what you need for your project!

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/32704 | 26 | Is there a `minipage`-like environment that allows pagebreaks? Everything I can find is about avoiding page breaks (which `minipage` does well) but I want to indent a whole section, which is convenient to do by wrapping the section in `minipage` as `\leftskip` is overtaken by the environment enclosing this section.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/3602 | Minipage that allows page breaks? | false | For completion purpose, here comes another alternative that doesn't need any aditional package. Start a group in which you put the text to have the desired margins set as follows:
```
{
\leftskip=3cm %You can also use other units of glue.
\rightskip=2cm
This text will have margins adjusted for the parameters as desired. They specify glue to be inserted at the left and right of every line in a paragraph. Breakpages happens. After the group ends, the former margins are restored. You can also create a newenvironment for various uses of this.
}
```
Plain TeX also has the `\narrower` macro, described in the TeXbook, that increases both `\leftskip` and `\rightskip` by the current `\parindent`:
```
{\narrower\smallskip
This paragraph will have narrower lines than the surrounding paragraphs do, because it uses the ``narrower'' feature of plain \TeX. The former margins will be restored after this group ends. This may be useful for quoting lengthy passages from a book.\smallskip
}
```
Note it is necessary to end the paragraph before ending the group with a blank line or a `\par`, for example, otherwise the effect disappear.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/147114 | 13 | I have revised a manuscript in LyX, and as requested by the journal editor, coloured the new text in red.
Once I completed the revision I exported to LaTeX to do the final tweaking of the manuscript.
I now have a revised manuscript in pdf format with all changes marked up in red text.
The problem is that I also need a unmarked up version (with red text removed). I can remove the red coloring in the LyX file, but then need to re-export and re-tweak the entire document whenever I make a small change.
Because the color text was added in LyX I have `\textcolor{red}{Words and more words}` scattered all throughout the document.
Can someone give me a clue to an efficient way to strip out the `\textcolor{red}` tags and the corresponding `{}` throughout the Latex file?
I've tried searching online but have not managed to find an answer yet.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/41773 | Advice on an efficient method to strip out color tags from LaTeX | false | If you upload your LaTeX file to Overleaf and enable `vim` keybindings, you can type
```
<Esc>
:s/\\textcolor\{red\}//g<Enter>
```
to remove all the `\\textcolor{red}`. I used Overleaf because I assume 'canonical' implies 'can be used irrespective of OS' and this doesn't require even Windows users to install anything extra. However, I can't quite figure out what variant of regular expressions Overleaf is using, so I couldn't match even the simplest of the corresponding `{}` pairs in Overleaf. However, with `sed` or the variant featured in Kile, for example, you should be able to remove most of those, too. In Kile, say, you could also review and approve each match prior to replacement.
Note that I tested this with a regular LaTeX file. I didn't test with LyX, so I'm assuming it spits out something reasonably standard.
This said, I'm honestly not sure this merits a canonical answer unless LyX is peculiarly dependent on this kind of appearance-based markup. The obvious (LaTeX) approach is to define a macro which you toggle between making its argument red and not doing so in the preamble. But perhaps that's hard to do in LyX. I'm also not sure what a 'canonical' answer means here.

The `author` field contains both personal names (with first and last names) and institutions. For various reasons, I preferred to use the same field instead of separate fields (like `author` and `institution`).
Therefore, under certain conditions, `author` field must be wrapped in an extra pair of curly braces to prevent data parsing from treating them as personal names which are to be dissected into their components (see §2.3.3 of the biblatex Guide).
Since the value of the `type` field determines the "type" of the author (personal name or institution name), the "pseudo-conditions" regarding sourcemapping are as follows:
```
IF
entrytype = customa;
field "type" is defined and its value <> "type1";
THEN
wrap the field "author" in an extra pair of curly braces;
ELSE
nothing
```
So, what are the `\step`s to be set in `\DeclareSourcemap`?

My workaround is to typeset this via `\texttt{\textbackslash documentclass}`, or `\verb!\!\verb!documentclass!`.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/690905 | 5 | I'm trying to work with dates in Latex (via Overleaf) with the `datetime2` and `pdfgantt` packages.
I have created a command to increment a date using `\DTMsavejulianday`. The below code shows that it is correctly computing the date, but it is not happy when passing the computed date into the `pdfgantt` package.
In overleaf when I try to use the result of the `\startDatePlusDays` command it complains `missing number, being treated as zero`.
Put simply, `\DTMsavedate` creates dates I can use, but `\DTMsavejulianday` does not. Where am I going wrong?

```
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/300579 | How to calculate dates to pass as arguments to pdfgantt? | true | Your diagnosis is not quite correct: there is nothing wrong with `\DTMsavejulianday`. The fundamental issue has to do with the expansion of several of the `\DTM...` macros.
For example, if you had rewritten your preamble as follows:

\newcommand{\startDatePlusDays}[1]{%
\DTMsaveddateoffsettojulianday{StartDate}{#1}\daycount%

*The workaround I have found is using LaTeX packages via:*
`\input miniltx.tex`
`\input graphicx.sty`
And by replacing the image code with something like this:
`\includegraphics[height=4.5in,width=5.5in]{figures/Titlepicture.eps}`
**All of pictures are now showing, but unfortunately, some of these pictures need a horizontal offset and I can't figure out how to add that. I tried to incorporate the figure environment like in this tutorial (<https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Inserting_Images>) but had no luck.

On Overleaf, I'm using the LaTex compiler with TeX live version 2020 (legacy). The original code says it was written in XeTex. Here is my latexmkrc file:
```
#$latex = 'tex %O %S'; # to use Knuth's original TeX engine
#$latex = 'pdftex %O %S'; # to use the pdfTeX engine
#$latex = 'luatex %O %S'; # to use the LuaTeX engine

```
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/300595 | Plain TeX Image Workaround For Lab Manuals | false | The first `\figure` definition is probably been override so it has no use.
The thing needs to be updated is the second `\figure`. Since there are some dependency not know I have not run test samples my self, but this macro should be compatible with the original one.

```
However if you want to get rid of the old macros, which I think you should do, you may reference my previous answer.
---
**Previous answer:**
It seems the manuals requires XeTeX to be compiled, and `\figure` seems to be a custom made macro.
You problem with the figures not horizontally align is because
`graphicx` itself does not middle align images. You can to that by
using `\centerline{#1}` which is essentially the same as something like `\hbox{\hfil#1\hfil}`.
My workaround would be redefine `\figure` to use `graphicx` package. I implemented the macro by purely guessing about the `\midfigure` means use plain TeX's `\midinsert` and `\topfigure` means use `\topinsert` and based on what I use to insert figures in pdfTeX. You may adapt the third argument if you don't need the caption, and maybe include `\includegraphics` inside the macro if not going to adjust size of pictures. The example below tested on Overleaf with XeTeX, although I didn't test agains EPS specifically but it should work.
latexmkrc:
```
$latex = 'xetex %O %S';
```
```
\input graphicx
\def\figure#1#2#3{%
\edef\instr{\string#1}
\edef\midfigstr{\string\midfigure}
\edef\topfigstr{\string\topfigure}
\ifx\instr\midfigstr
\midinsert
\else \ifx\instr\topfigstr
\topinsert
\else \errmessage{What is #1?} \fi\fi
\centerline{#2}\par
\centerline{#3}\endinsert}
This is good.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/690686 | 1 | I'm using this macro to scale my pgfplots to a desired size:

```
However, when recompling without making changes to a `pgfplots` file I don't want to loop over that file again but just use the created pdf from the `external` library. So I thought it would be a nice idea to make a manual check for that file and omit the loop once the file is up to date.
In the library source code I found that `\def\tikzexternal@externalizefig@systemcall@uptodatecheck#1` makes that check and takes the content of the `tikzpicture` as the argument #1. Now my problem is, I cannot find out how the library reads the tikzpicture to put it in that function.
Here's a MWE:
```

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/272334 | Tikz Externalize: Manual up-to-date check | true | Ok, I figured out a solution how to make that manual up-to-date check. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to use the interal macros from the `external` library but therefore wrote my own macro `\make@uptodate@check` that is very similar to the ones used in the package.
```
\def\make@uptodate@check#1{
\def\scanText{}%
\def\name@tikzpicture{tikzpicture}%
\CatchFileDef{\myTikz}{#1}{}%
\long\def\collect@tikz@from@begin##1\begin##2{%
\def\name@environment@begin{##2}%
\ifx\name@environment@begin\name@tikzpicture%
\expandafter\collect@tikz@after@begin%
\else%
\expandafter\collect@tikz@from@begin%
\fi%
}
\long\def\collect@tikz@after@begin##1\end##2{%
\def\name@environment@end{##2}%
\ifx\name@tikzpicture\name@environment@end%
\g@addto@macro\scanText{##1}
\else%
\g@addto@macro\scanText{##1\end{##2}}%
\expandafter\collect@tikz@after@begin%
\fi%
}
\expandafter\collect@tikz@from@begin\myTikz
\filename@parse{#1}%
\tikzsetnextfilename{\filename@base}%
\expandafter\tikzexternal@check@uptodate@mode\expandafter{\scanText}%
}
```
For checking if the picture has to be updated, it extracts the content from the `tikzpicture` environment and passes it to `\tikzexternal@check@uptodate@mode` from the `external` library which also updates `\tikzexternal@file@isuptodate`. Then in `resizeToMeasure` it checks if the file is up-to-date to skip the for loop and directly insert the pdf file.
Here is a full MWE:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/690656 | 1 | There was a problem to slightly change the macro described in [Expandable macro that extracts the first character of UTF-8/cyrillic string without additional packages](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/631869/expandable-macro-that-extracts-the-first-character-of-utf-8-cyrillic-string-with) for the argument which may contain two or more words. That is, for example, for the argument Vladimir Fedorovich it would return V.F., and for Владимир Фёдорович - В.Ф.
Here is a working example by the highly respected **David Carlisle** for a one-word argument (of course it can contain many words, but only the first letter of the first word will be extracted):
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[russian]{babel}
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\firstof}[1]{\expandafter\checkfirst#1\@nil}
\def\checkfirst#1{%
\ifx\UTFviii@two@octets#1%
\expandafter\gettwooctets
\else
\expandafter\@car\expandafter#1%
\fi
}
\def\gettwooctets#1#2#3\@nil{\UTFviii@two@octets#1#2}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\firstof{Vladimir}
\firstof{Владимир}
\end{document}
```
I need the `\firstof{Vladimir Fedorovich}` macro call to return `V.F.` and the call `\firstof{Владимир Фёдорович}` - `В.Ф.`. But theoretically, there can be more than 2 words in the argument.
I will be grateful for help.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/73294 | Expandable macro that extracts the first characters of many words for UTF-8/cyrillic or UTF-8/ASCII string without additional packages | false | With `expl3` there is `\text_map_inline:nn` that can do what you want.

```
The `\show` command will print
```

```
on the console, witnessing the full expandability.

The project is build up from different files:
thesis.tex
preambel.tex
versuch.tex (this is a file for the glossary entries)

Might be, that some other problems are attached to it, which i don't know about.
These are the mentioned files, i have copied the whole file and marked the parts dealing with the glossary with two stars \*\*

It is hard to tell exactly what is going on with such a long code, possibly full of stuff not necessary to show your problem. Always try to post a [MWE](https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/140456).
An example showing how to use `glossaries` package is:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{glossaries}
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{LIP}
{name=lip,
description={Lippe ist ein Kreis}
}
\begin{document}
\gls{LIP}
\printglossary
\end{document}
```
The order is important! Glossary entries should be after `\makeglossaries`, `glossaries` package should be loaded after `hyperref` and both should be almost the last two packages in your preamble (see [here](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/1863/140456) for some details).
Finally the compilation chain should be:
```
pdflatex filename.tex
makeglossaries filename
pdflatex filename.tex
pdflatex filename.tex
```
More information can be found in the documentation of the package and you can see some working examples (with different styles) in [Dickymaw Books](https://www.dickimaw-books.com/gallery/index.php?topic=glossaries#glossaries).

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/690914 | 0 | I am attempting to draw an Argand diagram, with a circle centred at (0, −16*π*), radius 16*π*.
The issues are that my diagram has the real and imaginary axes adjacent to the axis, but I would like the labels to be directly above the imaginary axis for Im and directly to the right of the real axis (currently it is appearing above the real axis. I also want to have the axes labelled in terms of pi so they go like −32*π*, −16*π*, 0, 16*π*, 32*π*.
Currently I haven't managed to get my axes in terms of *π*.
Here is a snippet of my code:
```

Then it will use the language the text is in (if you state that for example by using the Babel package).

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/690836 | 1 | I have a multi-language CV written in LuaLaTeX. To switch between the different languages I am using two Lua functions that are called through these TeX commands:
```
\directlua{code = require("code")}
\newcommand{\lc}[1]{\directlua{code.sel_lang(#1)}}
\newcommand{\setlang}{\directlua{code.set_lang()}}
\begin{document}
\setlang{}
\lc{{
eng="Ravenna, Italy",
ita="Ravenna, Italia",
swe="Ravenna, Italien"
}}
\lc{{
eng="B.Sc.\\ in Computer Science",
ita="Laurea triennale in Scienze Informatiche",
swe="Kandidatexamen i datavetenskap"
}}
```
The Lua code is the following:
```
-- Language Table
local languages = {}
languages["eng"] = "english"
languages["ita"] = "italian"
languages["swe"] = "swedish"
-- Main Language
local main_language = "english"
-- Language defined in the jobname cmd parameter
local cmd_language = string.sub(tex.jobname, -3)
texio.write_nl("Command line language: "..cmd_language)
local language = languages[cmd_language]
-- Set language for TeX directives
function set_document_language()
texio.write_nl("Setting babel language")
tex.sprint("\\selectlanguage{"..language.."}")
end
-- Print text in the desired language
function select_language(langmap)
if (langmap[cmd_language] == nil) then
tex.sprint("!! Missing Text !!")
end
tex.sprint(langmap[cmd_language])
end
return { sel_lang = select_language, set_lang = set_document_language }
```
This used to work with an older version of LuaLaTeX but now the "`\\`" after B.Sc. trigger the following error:
```
[\directlua]:1: invalid escape sequence near '"B.Sc.\A'.
\lc #1->\directlua {code.sel_lang(#1)}
```
### Attempt to fix the error
To fix the error I have tried to pass the Lua function an escaped string instead:
```
\newcommand{\lc}[1]{\directlua{code.sel_lang("\luaescapestring{\unexpanded{#1}}")}}
```
and I have modified the Lua function as follows:
```
-- Print text in the desired language
function select_language(langmap)
texio.write_nl("String received:" ..langmap) --debug
string = load("return "..langmap)()
if (langmap[cmd_language] == nil) then
tex.sprint("!! Missing Text !!")
end
tex.sprint(langmap[cmd_language])
end
```
but now I get errors like the following one:
```
String received:{ eng="ABOUT ME", ita="PRESENTAZIONE", swe="OM MIG" }...exmf-dist/tex/luatex/luaotfload/luaotfload-auxiliary.lua:970: attempt to call a nil value (field 'lower').
```
where Lua is trying to call non-existent functions on the table structure.
Can you give me an idea on how to proceed/what to try?
I hope the issue is understandable and I apologize for any mistake and unclear explanation, I am not an expert in either Tex or Lua.
Thank you very much!
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/256530 | Exchanging strings between TeX and Lua | true | The [luacode](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/luacode) package is probably best known for providing the `luacode` and `luacode*` environments. However, that's not all this package has to offer. In particular, it also provides three LaTeX macros for passing string variables from TeX to Lua. They are
* `\luastring` -- fully expands its argument
* `\luastringN` -- does *not* expand its argument
* `\luastringO` -- expands its argument exactly *once*
Importantly, the arguments of these macros are always treated as strings. E.g., `\luastring{1}` passes `1` as a *string* rather than as an *integer* to Lua.
Using `\luastringN`, you could simplify
```
\newcommand{\lc}[1]{\directlua{code.sel_lang("\luaescapestring{\unexpanded{#1}}")}
```
to
```
\newcommand{\lc}[1]{\directlua{code.sel_lang(\luastringN{#1})}}

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/300109 | Latex drawing Argand Diagram with axes in terms of pi? | true | Sometimes, it's just simpler to use TikZ directly. It's not a plot after all.
The `x` and `y` key allows you to scale your *xyz* coordinate system. No need to get *π* involved here.
The ticks are drawn in the canvas coordinate system so that they don't scale with the *xyz* coordinate system. The same is true for extending the axes about 10pt in all directions.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/66519 | 8 | I have written a `beamer` presentation and I would like all the frames to have corresponding PDF bookmarks, much like as in this other question on here: [Beamer: how to make each frame appear in the PDF toc?](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/17230) . However, it seems that the answer given to that question makes every *slide* get a bookmark, so frames with `\pause`s which have multiple corresponding slides get duplicate bookmarks.
(My understanding is that in `beamer`, a `frame` is the logical concept defined as everything between the `\begin{frame}` and `\end{frame}` and may be represented in the output as one or more `slide`s.)
I include a minimum illustrative example, based on the previously referenced answer, which I compile with `pdflatex` (and my `\beamer@version`=`3.20`):
```
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{bookmark}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\apptocmd{\beamer@@frametitle}{\bookmark[page=\the\c@page,level=3]{#1}}%
{\message{** patching of \string\beamer@@frametitle succeeded **}}%
{\message{** patching of \string\beamer@@frametitle failed **}}%
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Title}
Hello \pause world
\end{frame}
\end{document}
```
Result: a PDF with one frame but two slides, and *two* bookmarks, one for each *slide*.
Wanted: a PDF with one frame but two slides, and *one* bookmark, one for each *frame*.
I am surprised that the example doesn't work, as I would have thought that `\frametitle` (or rather its `\@dblarg` helper `\beamer@@frametitle`) would get called once per frame instead of (as it appears given the result) once per slide. (Is there any implementation documentation for beamer that might help me with this, as so far I've failed to find it?)
Also, as my presentation is already written, I would like to avoid having to replace `\begin{frame}` with `\begin{myframe}` everywhere if possible (especially as some of my frames use the `\frametitle{Title}` syntax and others the `\begin{frame}{Title}` syntax of setting the frame title), and I'm aware that there will be a few difficulties in this approach.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/17427 | Make each frame (not slide) appear in the PDF bookmarks with beamer | false | Here is a variant of David Carlisle's answer obtained by using `\pdfbookmark` in place of `\bookmark`. The advantage here is that we do not need to `\usepackage{bookmark}`.
```
\makeatletter
\apptocmd{\beamer@@frametitle}{\only<1>{\pdfbookmark[3]{#1}{#1}}}
{\message{** patching of \string\beamer@@frametitle succeeded **}}
{\message{** patching of \string\beamer@@frametitle failed **}}

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/230245 | Tikz Calendar - how to pass argument with '\def' | true | Let's see...
1. Use `\newcommand` for your `\normal` and `\bday` (it's LaTeX; try to avoid internal TeX things if you can).
2. When you call `\bday` use `{}` to delimit the argument (not `()`).
3. Define the macros at the top level; defining macros inside macros can be done, but it's tricky and unnecessary here.
4. I adjusted the macro `\bday` to produce the two-lines output I *think* you were looking for; not sure if I understood correctly.

I want the `\bday` command to function. I want to pass one argument - the name of the person who has birthday on that particular day and I don't know the proper syntax. Thank you all ♥
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/230245 | Tikz Calendar - how to pass argument with '\def' | false | ### Adaptations
* define the commands `\normal` and `\bday` outside `\mymo` with `\newcommand`
* use curly brackets here `\bday{mum}`
* put the line break for `\bday` between the name and the day
* I combined parameter 1 and 2 of `\mymo` to be `yyyy-mm`

```
cmchar "Virgule (slash)";

```
The corners are round. I would like to have sharp corners (but the same thickness); the slash shold be a parallelogramm. I found out that `crisp.nib` draws sharp corners but it has to be used with `pos1 ... pos2`. So I tried:
```
cmchar "Virgule (slash)";

penlabels(1,2); endchar;
```
But the slash disappears, it is only a onedimensional line, now. What is wrong?
There are some Metafont tutorials but I did not find answers to some other questions:
* What are `crisp.nib`, `fine.nib`, `rule.nib` exactly?
* Why do some `.nib`s need assignments like `pos1(...); pos2(...), ...` and others not? Which ones do need that?
* What is the difference between `fill` and `fill stroke`?
* What are the arguments of `pos1(...)` exactly and how to find out the right values?
Thanks for your help.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/125730 | Sharp corners in Metafont? | true | I can't immediately answer the "What is wrong?" question, but you can get much of the detail that answers the other questions in the book [*Volume E: Computer Modern Typefaces*, D. Knuth, 1986](https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/%7Eknuth/abcde.html#abcde), and in particular the appendix that explains `cmbase.mf`. If you don't have access to the book, you can get some idea of what it going on by reading the source, which you should find in your local TeX tree at `..texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/cm/cmbase.mf`
### Nibs
The `.nib` variables are all copies of the built-in `pencircle` pen scaled to useful sizes:
* `crisp.nib` is scaled to the value of the `crisp` parameter, which sets the diameter of serif corners
* `tiny.nib` is scaled to `tiny`, which sets the diameter of rounded corners
* `fine.nib` is scaled to `fine`, which sets the diameter of sharply rounded corners
These are the three main pens used to draw Computer Modern. The parameters are set differently for roman, italic, bold, and so on.
There is also `rule.nib` which is also a copy of `pencircle` scaled to `rule_thickness` -- this is a special-purpose pen used to draw maths symbols like `+`, `/`, and `=`.
### The `pos()` macro
The `pos` macro is a generalization of the `penpos` macro in plain MF. It is defined like this:
```
newinternal currentbreadth;
vardef pos@#(expr b,d) =
if known b: if b<=currentbreadth: errmessage "bad pos"; fi fi
(x@#r-x@#l,y@#r-y@#l)=(b-currentbreadth,0) rotated d;
x@#=.5(x@#l+x@#r); y@#=.5(y@#l+y@#r) enddef;
```
The arguments are a suffix `@#` and two expressions `b` = breadth, and `d` = rotation. And it uses a global internal variable called `currentbreadth` which keeps track of the breadth of the current pen.
If you unpick the macro, you will see that it creates two linked sets of three variables: `x@#`, `x@#l`, `x@#r`, and `y@#`, `y@#l`, `y@#r`, where `@#` is replaced by whatever suffix you use.
So if you call `pos1(b, d)` the macro will define `x1`, `x1l`, `x1r`, `y1`, `y1l`, and `y1r`.
Or rather it will define *some useful relationships* between them; in particular the six variables can be combined to define three points: `(x1l, y1l)`, `(x1r, y1r)`, and `(x1, y1)` -- through the usual plain MF convention that defines `z@#` as `(x@#, y@#)`, you can now refer to these three points as `z1l`, `z1r`, and `z1`, and they will be defined so that `z1` is exactly 1/2 way between `z1l` and `z1r` and that the distance between `z1l` and `z1r` will be `b` and the angle of rotation will be `d`.
Note that you will still need to define the location of `z1` at this point -- all that `pos` has done is establish where to put `z1l` and `z1r` when `z1` is known...
And what (you may ask) is the point of all this? The answer is that is sets up the `stroke` macro...
### The `stroke` macro
The definition of the `stroke` macro in `cmbase.mf` is quite hard to understand at first, but the net result is that it turns a non-cyclic path like `z1 -- z2` into a cyclic box path that you can fill.
In order for this to work, you have to define the extra `l` and `r` variable for each point. Which is what `pos@#` does. So provided you have already called `pos1` and `pos2`, then `stroke z1e -- z2e` will return the cyclic path
```
z1l -- z2l -- z2r -- z1r -- cycle
```
which you can pass to `fill`. So to answer the OP question the difference is
* `fill z1e -- z2e;` is a mistake, you probably meant `draw z1 -- z2`.
* `fill stroke z1e -- z2e` will fill the box `z1l -- z2l -- z2r -- z1r -- cycle` provided the `l` and `r` suffixes are properly defined.
### The answer
So having got through all that, I *think* the answer to the question "What is wrong?" is that the `crisp.nib` is so small that you can't see the line when you do `draw z1--z2` at the end. The width may have rounded to a whole number of pixels equal to zero. So since you have set `pos1` and `pos2` you might try doing `fill stroke z1e--z2e` instead.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691000 | 1 | I have a general question, if I may:
When using the `book` class for a self-published book, do I need to either add or take away from the default values for `\oddsidemargin` and `\evensidemargin`? I want to make sure there is enough white space for the binding of the book so that it does not obliterate any of the text.
The dimensions of the book are 5.5" x 8.25".
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/192836 | Regarding Odd (Even) Side Margins in Book Class | false | You have actually asked two questions:
First is: how to add binding offset to the document?
You can use the [`geometry`](https://ctan.org/pkg/geometry?lang=en) package and specify a `bindingoffset`. The package documentation has a quick summary of all the lengths required.
Second is: do I need to specify a binding offset?
This is best answered by the FAQ from the printer of your book. For example, [Amazon's KDP](https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/GVBQ3CMEQW3W2VL6) provides minimum inner margin depends on the length of the book. A rule [found elsewhere on this website](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/249190/recommended-margin-and-binding-offset#comment592971_249190) suggests reserving
```
0.5 * thickness of the book
```
as the binding offset. The thickness of course would depend on the number of pages and the type of paper used.
Since you specifically asked about the *default* values from the `book` class: you can find out the default values by using the `layout` package as in [this Q+A](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/50258/margins-of-book-class). Compare that to the amount you need as suggested by the printer.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/690994 | 0 | I need to insert a 2 columns long table in my document with a large amount of text on each cell of the second column. However, the final result has been a table covering 6 pages of the document.
I have been trying to reduce the fontsize of the text inside the table, but so far, the only solution I found resulted in reducing the size of the table's caption as well, which looked weird.
One of the solutions I tried is [this](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/682357/how-to-resize-the-font-size-in-a-longtblr-tabularray), but for some reason, I couldn't understand, it didn't work as expected.
For now, the solution I'm using is to insert the `longtblr` environment inside `\begingroup`, and then set the fontsize of the text there.
Is there a way to resize the text only in the cells, or some specific rows, keeping the original fontsize of the caption?

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/188408 | Tabularray - resize text in rows of longtblr without resizing caption text | false | On the MWE there is a little mistake at the end of each row that makes compiling the document look a bit off. For `tabularray`, all rows have to end with `\\`, so this.
```

```
Should be like this!
```
row & some relatively long description so that the other entries can showboat their floatiness \\
```
Now, I’m assuming that’s not the case in your real document. To force a particular column width on your columns, you only need to add the `wd` specification when using the `Q` column macros, so, in this example, line 18 should look like this:
```
colspec = {Q[c,m]|Q[l,m,wd=10cm]}
```
The `colspec` command is just to tell the package that this should only affect the column setup, it’s good to put it like that since later you may need to edit other stuff in that field that will not affect columns. The “`wd`” option forces the cells of that column to use that value as the maximum text box width, so feel free to change it as you like! Also, as you were asking, you can control a column font size via the `Q` macro using the `font` option, like this:
```
colspec={Q[c,m]|Q[l,m,wd=10cm,font=\tiny]}
```
Which makes the text on that column tiny! Of course you can do that via `\SetCell` inside the content to affect only one cell, but that’s up to you.
Testing a more with the document, I think that the only error was the lack of `\\` on the rows, but hopefully that extra bit of info helps you to add more flavor to what you are cooking! Hope that helps a bit!

I try to define new variable `\var` with value `1`. Then I try to make if statement as the code above. But the result is `var not equal one`, instead of `var equal one`. Why this can happen?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/163815 | Incorrect result of if statement in LaTeX | false | Sorry, but you misunderstood what `\if` does.
When TeX finds `\if`, it starts expanding the next tokens until finding two unexpandable ones that it eventually compares.
So with `\if \var= 1` the comparison is between `1` and `=`, which are different as far as `\if` is concerned. The `1` that follows the `=` disappears as part of the false text.
What you possibly want is `\ifnum` that again does full expansion until finding something like
```
<number><relation><number>
```
where `<number>` is anything that TeX can interpret as a number and `<relation>` is one of `<`, `=` or `>`.
If you replace `\if` with `\ifnum` you get what you expect. But you need to be very careful.
By the way, `\edef\var{1}` and `\def\var{1}` do exactly the same thing.
```
\documentclass{article}
\def\var{1}
\newcommand{\foo}{%
\ifnum\var=1
this is the one case%
\else
this is the not one case%
\fi
}
\begin{document}
\foo\ and some text follows.
\def\var{0}
\foo\ and some text follows.
\end{document}
```
Note the `%` that protect against endlines to be considered as spaces. ***Don't*** put `%` after the `1` in the first line.
Exercise: guess where the following code fails.
```

I have installed with [ansible-texlive](https://codeberg.org/ansible/texlive/src/branch/main/defaults/main.yml) and seen that it attempts to have no local `texmf` dir. Now I fear that my problem is caused by the `texmfcnf.lua` file. I have
```
return {

TEXMFHOME = "/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local",
TEXMFVAR = "selfautoparent:/texmf-var",
TEXMFCONFIG = "selfautoparent:/texmf-config",

```
TEXMFHOME = /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local
TEXMFVAR = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-var
TEXMFCONFIG = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-config
```
Are these correct? If not, what should they contain? If yes, what else could be wrong?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/161067 | Luaotfload: no writeable cache path error | false | My problem was indeed in the two config files. They should not contain anything - except for intentional differences to a standard installation.
Thus I removed the all content in `texmf.cnf` and reduced `texmfcnf.lua` to
```
return {
content = {
variables = {
},
},
}
```
Then I ran `luaotfload-tool --update` which built the font name database (in a writable cache!) and checked
```
kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFCACHE
```
which points to a writable directory under my home dir:
```
/usr/local/texlive/2023/texmf-var:/home/frank/.texlive2023/texmf-var

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691034 | 1 | I have many overlapping paths in a drawing and they end up passing over labels (I am not opposed to paths passing over paths). How can I put the label in the foreground, but keep it positioned on the path and sloped? Is there a way to do it with layers or the backgrounds library?
For instance:
```
\node at (0,0) (1) {x};
\node at (2,2) (2) {y};
\node at (0,2) (3) {m};
\node at (2,0) (4) {n};

\draw[->] (3) -- node[near start, sloped, fill=white] {+} (4);
\end{scope}
```
Here, I would want the `node[midway, sloped, fill=white] {-}` to go into the foreground so it isn't covered by the next path.
Can this be accomplished in a way that every node is affected by some simple operation ideally? Something like `usetikzlibrary{all paths in background}`?

Which produces the following!
Now, this huge blob of code is just a patch to the `\l@chapter` command which is the responsible of creating the table of contents entry. All is commented so you can follow along, but the notable mentions are as follows.
Line 16 holds the entry and its format, this is inside brackets so the bold does not escape to the page number.
Line 21 has the separator set as the dot. You can change it, but if we do that, we have to do that for all the other entries so… a dot it stays.
Line 26 holds the page number, if you need to format it, here is where.
Line 34, which is outside the big blob, just redefines the contents name to Table of Contents. Again, you can change it to whatever.
Something that I can’t figure out yet but I’m trying to: The proper “Chapter #: Something” with the colon. In this solution this is not as straight-forward to implement since the argument `#1` will load “`[Number] [Chapter name]`” as a whole block. I’m working on it, but hopefully for the little time I had this does what you need to do!
Edit
----
I found the solution to the colon problem! However… this means we got to patch another mouthful of code, so here it goes the full version!

Which now yields this!
Now, all this weird stuff that comes from lines 4 to 36 is directly from the source of the default [LaTeX2e classes documentation](https://www.latex-project.org/help/documentation/classes.pdf). Most of it is untouched, just pasted as-is to avoid crashing the intended functionality.
The only patch on this blob is line 9, which as you can see, contains the colon! (The original one didn’t, that’s why in the last code #1 called the chapter as “`[Number] [Chapter name]`” while now the colon is between them!
Again, apologies if this seems a bit messy, but with all the functions at hand, maybe you can modify this to your needs!

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/194620 | draw a surface from a matrix of points in asymptote latex | false | There are several issues, I think.
First, the `surface(triple[][])` is part of `graph3`, and not `three`. So you need to `import graph3;` instead.
Secondly, if I read your code correctly, your code stuff all of `xyz.dat` into essentially a one-dimensional array of `triples` (it has width just 1). This will **not** work for `surface`; the function `surface(triple[][])` builds a wire frame parametrized by the two array dimensions. The way you are stuffing the info into the array, there is no surface to plot, as the whole thing is interpreted as a one dimensional curve.

What happens in your case can be explained: `\phantom` creates a horizontal box with the same dimensions as the material inside it. In such a horizontal box, it's not possible to make paragraphs, so display math mode is disallowed and `$` just starts math mode. A following `$` simply ends math mode. So you get an empty formula followed by `\mathit` in text mode, which triggers the error.
If you want to make a double version, it's better to define structures. This is a basic framework just to give you an idea.

2. `tlmgr install latexmk`
3. `tlmgr install texliveonfly`

5. deploy results and cache the tex-related part of the image.
Which package should I chose for `texlive-something` so that these steps work? Thanks in advance.
**edit**
It seems that the word *minimal* can lead to some confusion. In this case it means (for a package)
1. Has a set of binaries (`pdflatex`, `tlmgr`, `bibtex`/`biber`, `perl`, I might be missing something) that would allow me to compile an empty document. Should I need some other binaries, I'm ok with adding this dependencies by hand
2. Contains a minimal set of LaTeX packages so that an empty document would compile. If I understand correctly, most other packages will be handled by `texliveonfly` (barring some esoteric cases, of course, but that can be handled manually, too).
In other words, minimal in terms of total disk space under the hypothesis that an empty document compiles using the instruments I mentioned.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691073 | 1 | A colleague is writing a proposal collaboratively, in which the same proposal will be jointly submitted to two different funding agencies in different countries. There is a 70% overlap in content, but precise formatting in even the common portions is different (fonts, columns, etc) and there is a conditional inclusion of certain sections.
So, this cannot be done simply by using conditional `\input` and `\include` commands, as the markup inside the files needs to be treated differently. Also, just writing two independent documents is not the right solution, since the overlap is significant and you will always run into consistency issues. `beamer` has a package called `beameraudience` that allows you to fine tune the output based on change of a single switch. Can this package (or something more appropriate for article class documents) be used for the above application?
They are not looking to create two different PDF documents in a single compilation (though that would be ideal, though inadvisable, as `\write18` is potentially dangerous) but can things be conditionally included/formatted based on the value of a switch?

This is an error of more than a quarter mm. Seems not much, but saying `\pagewidth = 210mm`
means, my page is a quarter mm too small.
When I do `\dimen2 = 598.2905983pt` (the correct value for 210mm), `\the\dimen2` shows the nearly correct `598.2906pt`.

The apostrophe should be rendered as straight.
The second piece is that
```
\begin{lstlisting}
foo = 'Ren\'{e}'
parse upper var foo bar
\end{lstlisting}
```
renders as
>

> ```
> foo = ’Ren\’{e}’

where \_ is actually the visible space cup. The ' is not interpolated and the leading spaces on the second line are not rendered properly.
I was able to use \'{ } to display a bare accent aigu, and with a recent LaTeX I was able to use \textquotesingle for a straight apostrophe.
MWE for listing:
```
\documentclass[b4paper]{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{expl3}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{listings} %Requires luatex engine to handle UTF-8
%Consider using minted, but ...
\begin{document}
\lstset{language=Rexx, extendedchars=true, frame=trbl}
\begin{lstlisting}
foo = {\textquotesingle\}Ren\'{e}{\textquotesingle}
parse upper var foo bar
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}
```
The documentation for listings claims that it is possible to escape to LaTeX, but I have not been able to make that work. The markup I used above, in plain text, renders properly as "’Café’".
So my question is, without entering characters above U+7F, what luatex compatible package and markup should I use for the sample code without affecting the rendering of apostrophe elsewhere in the document? I can give up syntax highlighting as long as the code is indented, not wrapped, and is boxed or otherwise distinguished.

To clarify, when I use B4 paper I get massive left and right margins, with the text formatted in what looks to be an 8.5"x11" box. Is there an engine independent way to set the PDF geometry from the paper size?
Also, how do I report this in order to get engine dependency added to page 8?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/110591 | Undefined control sequence setting PDF geometry | false | See this [answer](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/425646/241621) by David Carlisle. From there we can see that `\pdfpageheight` is supported by `pdftex` and `xetex` but not `luatex`. So you can't use `luatex` as the compiling engine in this case.

-) I found out it works with pdflatex, so it seems to be a problem with lualatex. Although I don't know where the problem is and I would need it lualatex...
Would appreciate if someone could look into this and help me out.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691112 | 0 | I need in a `tufte-book` citations with `author-year` and used the [recommendations](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/68175/biblatex-autocite-in-case-of-would-be-nested-footnotes) for the `author-year` style. Unlike the case there, I want
* the simple citation in regular text as sidenote (as is automatically produced with `autocite=footnote` and the tufte style) and
* a plain citation in footnotes.
I have tried to change the code given there to have autocite a footnote in regular text and a plain citation in a footnote, but have not succeeded.
What must be changed?

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/161067 | Biblatex \autocite need adaption for nested footnotes for year-author in b=tufte-book | true | I think you don't need to define any new citation commands: You could be pretty happy with the standard `\smartcite` approach were it not for the fact that `biblatex` can't detect footnotes in `tufte-book`. So all we need to do is make it detect footnotes. This is done by inserting `\toggletrue{blx@footnote}` in the right place in the footnote implementation.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691154 | 3 | Tabularray emulates commands in some other packages and therefore requests that you enable them with `\UseTblrLibrary` instead. One such package is siunitx. When loading siunitx normally, one could pass options to it; unfortunately, when one loads siunitx as a tabularray library, one cannot pass options to it, or at least I cannot figure out how to. Proof below.
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularray}
\UseTblrLibrary{siunitx}
\PassOptionsToPackage{retain-explicit-plus}{siunitx}
\begin{document}
\num{+5}
\begin{tblr}{
colspec = {lS}
}
Hey & +1 \\
Ho & +2 \\
Hee & +40 \\
\end{tblr}
\end{document}
```
When compiled, the document produced has no leading plus signs. How can I remedy this behavior?
(My personal problem is to do with leading pluses, but I think the form of the problem is more general, so I'd appreciate answers which are similarly general.)
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/101980 | Pass options to package loaded as tabularray library | true | You have to change the order of things, if you use `\PassOptionsToPackage` after the package ran its code things are already too late to get picked up, you have to use that macro before a package is loaded to make it work.
So if you use the following you get leading signs:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularray}
\PassOptionsToPackage{retain-explicit-plus}{siunitx}
\UseTblrLibrary{siunitx}
\begin{document}

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691125 | 0 | I am transcribing a document into the `memoir` class that has a front matter "chapter" with a collection of epigraphs. Each epigraph has no page note mark in the text, but in the back matter Notes section there is an unnumbered list of references for the Epigraphs chapter, one reference for each quotation. Other main matter chapters have normal page notes with numerical marks in the text and numbered lists in the Notes chapter. I have achieved a `\pagenote` that temporarily does not put marks in the text, but how can I achieve an unnumbered list of references in `\printpagenotes` for one chapter only? MWE and my attempts below.
```
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\makepagenote
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\chapter{Epigraphs}
\let\orignotenumintext\notenumintext
\renewcommand*{\notenumintext}[1]{\relax} % don't print a page note mark
\lipsum[1]\pagenote{Cicero}\par
\lipsum[2]\pagenote{Augustus}
\let\notenumintext\orignotenumintext % restore original page note mark behavior
\mainmatter
\chapter{Body}
\lipsum[3-4]\pagenote{Caesar}
\backmatter
\printpagenotes
% results in:
% Notes
% Chapter 0 Epigraphs
% 1. Cicero
% 2. Augustus
% Chapter 1 Body
% 1. Caesar
\end{document}
```
In the above, I want to get rid of the `1.` and `2.` before `Cicero` and `Augustus`. I tried to override and then restore `\notenuminnotes` as I did with `\notenumintext`, but this did not produce the desired behavior. I guess `\notenuminnotes` is maybe not expanded until it's time to actually typeset the Notes chapter.
I also noticed in the `memoir` manual there is `\addtonotes`, but this command is more low-level and just splats some text into the `ent` file. So if you write `\addtonotes{Cicero}\addtonotes{Augustus}` you will not even get a line break. I'd like to use the usual `\pagenote` architecture if possible so I can play with the other commands like `\prenoteinnotes` etc. Is this possible?
