https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/572356 | 12 | For some context, I recently learned about [Cistercian numbering system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cistercian_numerals). I'm loving it, and want to number the pages of my thesis with it.
Using tikz package, I can plot a 4 digit number with self made commands like \cistercian{3751}.
The idea is to pass it the page number (padded with zeros) and draw it next to the page number in decimal. But I can't seem to be able to pass it the page numbers. The error is on line 74 when calling \cistercianpagenumber:
Missing character: There is no ; in font nullfont!
! Argument of \XC@definec@lor has an extra }.
From my researchs, it may come from the fact that page number should not be passed as an argument, or something else, I'm lost here...
I put all the code below. It is not yet able to plot the page numbers at the right position, but this can be done after. This problem must be solved before going in the presentation details.
Thank you for your help.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691190 | 3 | TL/DR
-----
I understand this is a perverse question, but—is it possible, in fontspec/XeLaTeX|LuaLaTeX, to separately scale uppercase and lowercase letters of a monospace typewriter font to achieve the effect of having
* lowercase letters scaled to "MatchLowercase", and
* uppercase letters to "MatchUppercase",
so that the cap-to-x-height ratio matches the main font.
I understand that this would destroy kerning calculations in a normal font, but for monospace, it seems reasonably straightforward to horizontally stack non-overlapping boxes. (Though I suspect this may create eye-soreness for initial-case words where simple stacking will create extra space between the uppercase first letter and the lowercase tail: `W·ord`.)
Bonus for suggesting a monospace typewriter font that harmonises with EB Garamond.
Longform
--------
I'm using XeLaTeX at the moment, but I have a lot of branches so the document compiles with LuaLaTeX as well. I'm using fontspec.
I'm writing a document with lots of code and I'm using EB Garamond for the body (and `Garamond-Math.otf` for math). I've had a heck of a time finding a monospace/typewriter font that looks good with garamond.
I've settled on IBM Plex Mono:
```
\setmonofont{IBMPlexMono}%
[
, Path = {…}
, UprightFont = *-Regular.otf
, ItalicFont = *-Italic.otf
, BoldFont = *-Bold.otf
, BoldItalicFont = *-BoldItalic.otf
, Scale=MatchLowercase
]
```
though I welcome recommendations, especially those that have fairly broad unicode support for UTF in comments.
Given the fixed choice of IBM Plex Mono, my problem is that the cap-to-x-height ratio between EB Garamond and Plex are so different that it looks a little strange with inline code when I scale by MatchLowercase.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/19569 | Fontspec: separately scale uppercase and lowercase so `tt` has same cap-to-x-height ratio as main font | false | I wrote [some code similar to this](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/444453/61644) back in 2018, which scales uppercase and lowercase separately to fake small caps.
For this purpose, you could simplify it considerably. You don’t want to capitalize the scaled lowercase letters, and you might or might not want to scale them horizontally as I did. The code to automatically determine the x-height would change to instead use the x-height of the main font.
However, you should first look for a sans-serif monospace font with a more similar x-height.

This has me confused, for I have never seen anything other than `\` used for escapes. Is this character configurable? If yes, how? Just curious.

```
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/213962 | How to capitalize \zcref as \Cref does? | true | The equivalent to `\Cref` in `zref-clever` is the `S` option (for "sentence"), which is an alias to `capfirst=true,noabbrevfirst=true`, meaning it ensures a capitalized and not abbreviated name for the first type block in given call to `\zcref`. So, all you need is `\zcref[S]{<label>}`. The same for `\zvref[S]{<label>}`.
Regarding:
```
\let\oldlabel\label
\renewcommand{\label}[1]{\oldlabel{#1}\zlabel{#1}}
```
you shouldn't do this. It may lead to trouble in some scenarios and it is actually not needed. If you have the latest version of `zref-clever` it already uses the new `label` hook made available by the kernel and sets both a `\label` and a `\zlabel` for a given call of `\label`. So you can just use `\label` already.
Now, if you are doing this in your actual document and not getting duplicate label warnings, it may be that you are using an older version of `zref-clever`. Ideally, if you can, you should update. On the other hand, you report to be using `\DocumentMetadata{testphase=phase-III}`, so you seem to have an up to date TeX installation and, probably, were getting duplicate label warnings. Either way, you shouldn't redefine `\label` like that.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691190 | 3 | TL/DR
-----
I understand this is a perverse question, but—is it possible, in fontspec/XeLaTeX|LuaLaTeX, to separately scale uppercase and lowercase letters of a monospace typewriter font to achieve the effect of having
* lowercase letters scaled to "MatchLowercase", and
* uppercase letters to "MatchUppercase",
so that the cap-to-x-height ratio matches the main font.
I understand that this would destroy kerning calculations in a normal font, but for monospace, it seems reasonably straightforward to horizontally stack non-overlapping boxes. (Though I suspect this may create eye-soreness for initial-case words where simple stacking will create extra space between the uppercase first letter and the lowercase tail: `W·ord`.)
Bonus for suggesting a monospace typewriter font that harmonises with EB Garamond.
Longform
--------
I'm using XeLaTeX at the moment, but I have a lot of branches so the document compiles with LuaLaTeX as well. I'm using fontspec.
I'm writing a document with lots of code and I'm using EB Garamond for the body (and `Garamond-Math.otf` for math). I've had a heck of a time finding a monospace/typewriter font that looks good with garamond.
I've settled on IBM Plex Mono:
```
\setmonofont{IBMPlexMono}%
[
, Path = {…}
, UprightFont = *-Regular.otf
, ItalicFont = *-Italic.otf
, BoldFont = *-Bold.otf
, BoldItalicFont = *-BoldItalic.otf
, Scale=MatchLowercase
]
```
though I welcome recommendations, especially those that have fairly broad unicode support for UTF in comments.
Given the fixed choice of IBM Plex Mono, my problem is that the cap-to-x-height ratio between EB Garamond and Plex are so different that it looks a little strange with inline code when I scale by MatchLowercase.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/19569 | Fontspec: separately scale uppercase and lowercase so `tt` has same cap-to-x-height ratio as main font | false | Perhaps something like this might be of some limited use?
Adapting from my answer at [Fake small caps with XeTeX/fontspec?](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/55664/fake-small-caps-with-xetex-fontspec/225078#225078), I control the vertical scale of upper and lower-case letters in `\fauxtt` with `\Cscale` and `\Vscale`. The horizontal scale of the tt letters is adjusted, if desired, via `\Hscale`.
In the MWE, the first line of output is unadjusted tt. In the 2nd line of output is `\fauxtt`.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691204 | 6 | I'm novice TeX user who inherited 100 **plain TeX** files that I want to convert to PDF. I installed TeX Live 2013 on a Mac to do so.
Before converting to PDF I would like to add each TeX file's date and time to the resulting PDF. I assumed that the **\FIRST-LINE** argument would allow me to do so since according to pdftex usage:
###### pdftex [OPTION] ... \FIRST-LINE
###### if the first non-option argument begins with a backslash, interpret all non-option arguments as a line of pdfTeX input
First I created a simple plain TeX file to test:
```
\hbox{HEADLINE}
\line{{Amortization computations} \hfil{10/10/03}}
\bye
```
I then tested this command under bash:
>
> pdftek test.tex '\line{hello}'
>
>
>
but the \line argument is ignored even though it appears in the log file:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691187 | 1 | I am reading Knuth's *The TeXbook* and in Chapter 4, he talks about italic correction `\/`. He always uses it in the scope of the *preceding* font, for instance:

3. ``{\bf f\/}’`

\
There are 10 columns, and the first row is supposed to have two empty cells, and two cells that each span 4 columns.
The Second row is supposed to have 5 cells that each span two columns.
Instead, these columns are somehow overlapping/merging into each other, and only take up the first 6 columns -- the last row contains one element in each column and therefore should help span up the entire table.
If I add additional `&` inbetween the columns, I can get the layout that I want, but this cant be the correct approach, can it?

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691190 | 3 | TL/DR
-----
I understand this is a perverse question, but—is it possible, in fontspec/XeLaTeX|LuaLaTeX, to separately scale uppercase and lowercase letters of a monospace typewriter font to achieve the effect of having
* lowercase letters scaled to "MatchLowercase", and
* uppercase letters to "MatchUppercase",
so that the cap-to-x-height ratio matches the main font.
I understand that this would destroy kerning calculations in a normal font, but for monospace, it seems reasonably straightforward to horizontally stack non-overlapping boxes. (Though I suspect this may create eye-soreness for initial-case words where simple stacking will create extra space between the uppercase first letter and the lowercase tail: `W·ord`.)
Bonus for suggesting a monospace typewriter font that harmonises with EB Garamond.
Longform
--------
I'm using XeLaTeX at the moment, but I have a lot of branches so the document compiles with LuaLaTeX as well. I'm using fontspec.
I'm writing a document with lots of code and I'm using EB Garamond for the body (and `Garamond-Math.otf` for math). I've had a heck of a time finding a monospace/typewriter font that looks good with garamond.
I've settled on IBM Plex Mono:
```
\setmonofont{IBMPlexMono}%
[
, Path = {…}
, UprightFont = *-Regular.otf
, ItalicFont = *-Italic.otf
, BoldFont = *-Bold.otf
, BoldItalicFont = *-BoldItalic.otf
, Scale=MatchLowercase
]
```
though I welcome recommendations, especially those that have fairly broad unicode support for UTF in comments.
Given the fixed choice of IBM Plex Mono, my problem is that the cap-to-x-height ratio between EB Garamond and Plex are so different that it looks a little strange with inline code when I scale by MatchLowercase.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/19569 | Fontspec: separately scale uppercase and lowercase so `tt` has same cap-to-x-height ratio as main font | true | It's indeed a perverse question, I'm afraid.
The font designer decided about the proportion between capital and lowercase letter and you're trying to ruin their artwork.
Anyway, it's possible to do it with kernel commands.

Comment: the picture clearly show how bad your idea is. Look at the uppercase “S” and you'll see that the stroke thickness is visibly different from the “m”. You also lose the “monospacedness”, because capital letters will be wider than lowercase.
For long verbatim-like parts don't use this. And don't use it at all.

In my custom entrytype I use two alternate fields: `author` (names of persons) and `usera` (names of institutions).
In any pre-existing sorting template (e.g. nty, anyvt, etc.), the `usera` field must be handled as if it were an `author`/`editor` field.
So, without having/wanting to create a custom sorting template, I thought of using the `sortname` field, through sourcemapping.

The sourcemapping code should be equivalent to the following .bib file:

A computer algebra system (CAS) like Mathematica or SAGE.
A simple calculator isn't dead because it gives wrong answers to some problems and is useless in solving other problems. You'll find they are still widely used in some asian markets as they can cheaply do what is expected from them. A similar argument applies to other calculators; they have a time and place. Even a CAS has limitations but that doesn't stop us from using them. When you bump up against limit you just need to figure out what option will work best for your situation.
A lot the mathematical capabilities in LaTeX have increased dramatically over the last decade or so and `pgfplots` is good enough for most users. You (like me) have bumped up against some of the limitations of calculations/plotting in LaTeX. This brings us to your second question: "Do you know whether there are good replacements for PGFPlots which I can integrate easily into LaTeX and are quick to learn?". The short answer is *no*, so now you have to figure out the option that works best for you. Some have suggested Asymptote but since your profile says you are a mathematics student I think you will appreciate using [sagetex](https://ctan.org/pkg/sagetex), [SAGE](https://www.sagemath.org/), and [Cocalc](https://cocalc.com/). With respect to your linked posted question, you can go to a [SAGE cell server](https://sagecell.sagemath.org/) and copy/paste the code below:
```
x, y = var('x y')
cm = colormaps.jet
def cf(x,y): return (2+sqrt(x)*sin(y/2))/4
parametric_plot3d((x*cos(y),x*sin(y),sqrt(x)*cos(y/2)), (x,0,4),(y,-pi,3*pi),mesh=True, color=(cf,cm))
```
Press `Evaluate` and you'll get something like this (done using a SAGE app on Ipad):
You can reach into the picture and rotate it (not here, with the SAGE cell server or SAGE app). Notice the little `I` in the bottom right corner, pressing this gives more options (for example, download the picture as a `.png` file). The line `def cf(x,y): return (2+sqrt(x)*sin(y/2))/4` is defining color value given a particular `(x,y)` pair. The line below it includes `color=(cf,cm)` which uses the value of `cf` under the colormap `cm = colormaps.jet` to create the color. Nothing particularly difficult in understanding the code but you will need **lots** of time to read the instructions. The documentation for just [graph theory](https://doc-gitlab.sagemath.org/pdf/en/reference/graphs/graphs.pdf) is 1219 pages. A [free book](https://www.sagemath.org/sagebook/english.html) can help speed up the process dramatically. As a CAS, SAGE will have the least mathematical limitations. It also has a lot of mathematics built into (derivatives, [graph theory](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/367694/can-i-draw-my-graphs-graph-theory-with-tikz-online/367719#367719), [matrices](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/283081/is-there-a-way-to-automatically-transpose-a-matrix-written-in-latex), etc). Yet another bonus, SAGE gives you access to Python; see my answer to plotting the [Weierstrass function](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/156993/plotting-weierstrass-function/157219#157219) which used Python programming. Search this site for lots of other `sagetex` examples.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691172 | 0 | I use Overleaf to write LaTeX-documents, but my department requires a very specific bibliography style. According to [this guide](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12806/guidelines-for-customizing-biblatex-styles) I need to temper with `biblatex.cfg` and `bibltex.def`. Where can I find and change them in Overleaf, if at all? And what would be a good alternative? (Learning to use LaTeX on my computer isn't really an option due to due dates).
For reference: [the guidelines](https://musikwissenschaft.univie.ac.at/fileadmin/user_upload/i_musikwissenschaft/Studium/RichtlinienSchriftlicheArbeiten.pdf) pp.31-43 (in german)
Example:
Name, First name / Name, First name: „Article title. Subtitle“, in: Name, First name / Name, First name (Hrsg.), *Book title. Subtitle*, Publishing place(s): Publisher year, S. x-y.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/300755 | Accessing and changing biblatex.cfg in Overleaf | true | You don't have direct access to the TeX system used by Overleaf, so accessing system files is not easy. But it should not be necessary in your case anyway.
The default `biblatex.cfg` is functionally empty. So you could just create a new empty file on Overleaf and use that.
But I wouldn't even do that. I disagree about `biblatex.cfg` with <https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/13076/35864> (and answer that I hold in very high regards). `biblatex.cfg` is supposed to be a global configuration file that is loaded by all documents loading `biblatex`. That means that it can be sort of "invisible" to you that the file is used and loaded until you check the `.log` file. This can lead to confusion and unexpected output.
There are many places where you can put your `biblatex` modifications ([Biblatex.cfg vs .cls vs .sty](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/296732/35864)), but unless they are really long I think the preamble is the best place: That way you always see your modifications right away so you can never be surprised by them.
Just from the example you gave in your question you might want to try something like
```

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691255 | 8 | In the 1980s there was a Swedish format for TeX named "SweTeX" in use at least at Uppsala University, maybe also at KTH in Stockholm and elsewhere. It was meant for writing texts in Swedish using a Swedish version of the ISO-646 character encoding family (ISO-646-SE). There `[\]{|}` doesn't exist but are replaced by `ÄÖÅäöå`, so with this format category codes were changed so that `/` was used as escape character and `<>` as grouping characters. I don't remember if there was some special hack for using `<` and `>` in math or if you used commands for those. (Actually many users really used terminals that showed US-ASCII most of the time, so would see the Swedish letters as \*}{|][\* when writing the text, and not see the right characters until the DVI, but that was really not a problem after you got used to it.)
I think that a special format was made for this, built on "Plain", but I'm not sure, maybe you just included a file `swetex.tex` every time. I think that some people used `.stex` as extension for SweTeX files.
Where was this created? By whom? Where there additional changes? Is the source still available? Can my recollections be confirmed?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/48251 | What was the source of SweTeX using / and <> instead of \ and {}? | false | Not sure this warrants a proper answer, but here goes:
I don't know much about this particular package, but it can still be [found on CTAN](https://ctan.org/pkg/swetex). The README file mentions quite a few people and might provide further insight, even though it's clearly only of historical interest at this point.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/690403 | 2 | I created a command with 3 optional arguments.
Here is a MWE:

```
It works fine but in the case `$\pliste[a][][p]$`, the default value (1, here) doesn't appear for the second argument.
So maybe it is not a good idea to only have optional arguments? Am I doing anything wrong?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/249670 | NewDocumentCommand with only optional arguments? | false | I agree with @egreg that this should be avoided, but just for the sake of it, this shows another possibility using `ltcmd`'s argument processors. The idea is pretty simple, just set them as empty by default, and use the argument processor to change them to their true defaults if they are empty/blank.
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}

Another possibility is to insert otherwise unused optional stars, with those you can jump over the unneeded optional arguments if necessary:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/690466 | 1 | I would like to create a template that provides some kind of interface for entering content. Some of the content should be repeated in multiple places in a final document, but I don't want to write duplicates in code. In fact, I want to let the template decide how to structure the content I give it. Let me try with an example. This is how I imagine my template:
```
\begin{document}
\section*{Products}
\begin[itemize}
% for each product in the list of products
% \item product.name - product.description
\end{itemize}
\section*{Prices}
\begin{itemize}
% for each product in list of products
% \item product.name: product.price
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
```
I would like the template to provide interface for defining list of products, and use it something like this in my main tex file:
```
\begin{products}
\product{Product 1}{description for product 1}{\$10}
\product{Product 2}{description for product 2}{\$20}
\end{products}
```
The final document should look like this:
```
\begin{document}
\section*{Products}
\begin[itemize}
\item Product 1 - description for product 1
\item Product 2 - description for product 2
\end{itemize}
\section*{Prices}
\begin{itemize}
\item Product 1: \$10
\item Product 2: \$20
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
```
I might want another template that structures the products differently. Ideally, I would just change the template file. In other words, the main file that defines list of products should not care how the products will be structured, it only provides data.
I might want to have template that would present data like this:
```
\section*{Products}
\begin{itemize}
% for each product in the list of products
% \item product.name \(product.price\) - product.description
\end{itemize}
```
or
```
\begin{tabular}{lll}
% for each product in the list of products
% product.name & product.price & product.description \\
\end{tabular}
```
or
```
\section*{Products}
\begin{itemize}
% for each product in list of products
% \item.product.name - product.description
\end{itemize}
% some other sections here that have nothing to do with products
\section*{Prices}
...
```
and it should all work with the same data file. Imagine REST API how it provides data and different applications can display it in different ways. That's kind of thing that I am trying to achieve here - have a file in which I provide data that can be displayed in different ways which are defined by templates.
I've only used LaTeX for basic stuff so I don't know even if this is possible.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691299 | 1 | In the process of moving almost entirely to OpenType fonts for text and math, but trying to retain MathTime Pro II as the math font, I am realizing that some of these commands may not actually do what I thought they did. In math mode, both `\mathbf` and `\textbf` pull upright boldface characters from the selected text font. I had believed that `\mathbf` was getting characters from `mtpro2`, but that actually requires one to use `\mbf`. The characters in `mtpro2` have slightly increased side-spacing as explained in the manual `guide2.pdf` available from the website. So what are the differences between `\mathbf` and `\textbf` (or, for that matter, `\mathrm` and `\textrm`, `\mathsf` and `\textsf`, etc.) when used in math mode? Is this to give you the option of having two different fonts available for each family, series, shape, etc. in math mode (to deal with the spacing issue perhaps)?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/224317 | Specific difference between \math<xx> and \text<xx> in math mode | true | `\mathbf` will give the bold upright font declared for math or with `unicode-math` package optionally is an alias for `\symbf` which selects the bold math alphabet and is not a font change.
`\textbf` switches to text mode from math mode and selects whatever font is declared as bold for the text current outside the current math. It may happen to use the same font as `\mathbf` but typically will not.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691306 | 1 | I am currently working on a project where I have linked Mendeley with Overleaf directly. My problem arises when Mendeley automatically escapes out `$` characters, which I need for math mode in my bibliography.
I understand that Overleaf essentially treats the Mendeley-generated BibTeX file as read-only; therefore, I cannot make any changes directly in Overleaf.
I was wondering if there is a way to access the BibTeX file directly and edit it manually, despite it being connected to my Mendeley account (and keeping the changes after the bibliography refreshes of course). I cannot seem to find this option in Mendeley Online and the desktop version is discontinued and thus would prefer not to use it.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/185001 | Manual Editing of BibTex File Linked to Mendeley and Overleaf | false | No. By virtue of synchronising with Mendeley, any changes you make would be overwritten on subsequent synchronisations, so even if it is possible to make edits to the bib file (which it makes sense for Overleaf to prevent) this is unwise to rely on.
You either need to fix things on the Mendeley end so it generates an appropriate bib file, or generate a one-off bib file which you can manually upload and edit.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/42961 | 6 | I'm trying the add a grey highlight to the `\texttt` command to essentially achieve the same effect as the `code blocks on here.`
This is something I attempted to do when I first started writing my current document. I don't remember how I got there but the renew command I wrote looks like this:
```
\definecolor{Light}{gray}{.90}
\sethlcolor{Light}
\renewcommand{\texttt}{\hl}

This gives me the grey highlight, but the font it no longer monospace.
Can anyone help me?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/11338 | Adding a highlight to \texttt blocks | false | Peter Grill already provided a [great answer](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/42964/164255). Just as an alternative, you can also achieve this using `\colorbox` or `\fcolorbox`. The letter additionally allows you to specify a border color:
### Code:
```

\definecolor{codebg}{gray}{0.95}
\definecolor{codeframe}{gray}{0.8}
\newcommand{\inlinecode}[1]{\fcolorbox{codeframe}{codebg}{\small\!\texttt{#1}\!}}

Adapted from the example of the tabularray manual on page 46. However I am not quite sure why I need the empty `{}` in the definition of my empty row.
Nevertheless I want to understand why the initial latex3 approach didn't work. The problem seems to be related to the replicate function.
**Edit**
Using `lualatex` seems to work with the expand-key as mentioned by @JamesT in the comment above:
```
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{luacode}
\begin{luacode}
function makerows(n)

\begin{tblr}[expand=\directlua]{c|c|c|c}
a & b & c & d \\\hline
\directlua{makerows(10)}
\end{tblr}
\end{document}
```
**Edit 2**
I also tried `pythontex` which does **not** work even with the expand key:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularray}
\usepackage[gobble=auto]{pythontex}
\begin{pycode}

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691259 | 0 | I use the integration of zotero and overleaf to store the references I use. However, now that the bibliography file is very big, it takes a long time to add every single reference to the .bib file.
Is there a way to speed this up? Perhaps a way in which only some files are uploaded?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/92346 | Speeding up zotero-overleaf sync | true | I'm a member of Overleaf's support team. Please feel free to reach out to Overleaf support directly for Overleaf-specific questions: <https://www.overleaf.com/contact>
Very large Zotero libraries can be slow in Overleaf (slow for autocompleting citations, slow for advanced reference search, and slow for compiling).
The recommendation would be to put the references that you are using for the specific project in a Zotero group. Zotero provides an API that allows you to access a specific group as an addressable resource (URL). You can either use the URL directly to bring the .bib file into Overleaf, or use Overleaf's Zotero integration, which does support groups.

You could load the `threeparttable` package and enclose the `\caption` directive, the `tabular` environment, and the subsequent legend in a `threeparttable` environment. However, in view of the facts that the table isn't wide and the legend is quite long, I wouldn't recommend taking this approach for the table at hand.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/300870 | Difficult to label and joining the nodes in fitzpicture | false | That's a lot of nodes!
It's easy to place them in a circle. For the labels I've chosen to rotate them as well.
You will have to use a big radius and/or very small nodes to have straight lines not intersect with the nodes.
Here are two solution for just this example.
The first one connects all nodes via a straight line (but behind the nodes).
The second one has some bended curves.

-----------------------
With thanks to Alan I was able to resolve the issue. My two problems were.
1. I didn't know how to set the correct paths in LaTeX Workshop on VSCode
2. I hadn't corrrectly run the perl installation command from the [tex-live installation page](https://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html)
Just a note to anyone struggling with the installation, when you get to the part with the perl script on this page. It will take at least 20 minutes - 40 minutes to download the necessary dependencies. I thought I had done something wrong, but in the end it all works now!
A big thanks to Alan for his help.
Original Issue
--------------
I'm new to this site and while I have read previous posts that are similar, I'm still unclear about the process. I'd appreciate it if you could hold off from judgement, until you've read the post.
I read [this article](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/580398/texlive-latexworkshop-unable-to-build-or-preview-latex-files/580410#580410?newreg=9257f9ed9bf34aca95c24a6198f8161f) which produces the unsuccessful result I'm getting. There are clues in it, but nothing crystal clear.
I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm trying to make sense of a lot of new processes... I would like to view .tex files in VSCodes LaTeX Workshop.
I'm able to see that I have 40 associated packages with latexmk which I found through the `apt-file search latexmk`.
usr/share/texlive exists and there are 174530 packages associated with it. I've downloaded LaTeX Workshop on to my VSCode instance.
I'm not sure which executables need to be presented in the path as there are so many packages although I do know how to to update the path. I also know that there are paths in the LaTeX Workshop setting configuration. Most of which I can set with usr/bin/latexmk or similar.
I'm really not sure what I'm missing. I've included a log of the error that I'm getting when I try to run `Build LaTeX Project`/

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/300915 | VSCode Texlive / LatexWorkshop - unable to Build or Preview Latex Files (Unable to understand the previous responses to the same question) | true | You need to add the PATH to the "env": key of the LaTeX tools in the settings.
To do this:
Command-Shift-P
-> Preferences Open User Settings (JSON)
Search for `latex-workshop.latex.tools`
Inside this array of objects are each of the build tools. When you first install they look (roughly) like this:
```
{
"name": "latexmk",
"command": "latexmk",
"args": [
"-synctex=1",
"-interaction=nonstopmode",
"-file-line-error",
"-pdf",
"-outdir=%OUTDIR%",
"%DOC%"
],
"env": {}
},
```
You can see that there is an empty `"env":` attribute. This is what you need to change for all of the tools. So instead of having `"env": {}` you should replace it with the following. You first need to know what the path is for the TeX Live binaries after you install. To do this you can type in the command line:
```
which pdflatex
```
This will return the full path for `pdflatex`. On my machine, (a Mac) it returns:
```
/Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex
```
So I would add the following to the `"env":` attributes:
```
"env": {"PATH": "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:"}
```
For a Linux distribution like yours, the path will be somewhat different, perhaps something like:
```
/usr/local/texlive/2023/bin/x86_64-linux/
```
and this is what you should use in your `"env":` attributes:
```
"env": {"PATH": "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/texlive/2023/bin/x86_64-linux/:"}
```
You should add this for all the objects in the `tools` array (including the `arara` tool, which doesn't have an `"env":` attribute, but should).
You don't need to do anything with the `recipes` array.
Save the settings file and things should work as you expect.

How come `\hfill` works fine in math mode while `\vfill` does not? Is there a workaround to make it usable in math mode? When typing manually I could just open and close math mode eveytime I need a `\vfill`, but when using `sagetex` the output is printed using `$\sagestr{some_custom_functions(some_variable)}$`, which means that everything the function outputs must be usable in mathmode.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/300928 | Why does \hfill work in math mode but not \vfill? | false | `$` is inline math, which is why `vfill` won't work.
But you can also use an array to do something similar. Here's an MWE:
```
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\[\arraycolsep=10pt\def\arraystretch{3}
\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 2 & 3 \\
4 & 5 & 6 \\
7 & 8 & 9
\end{array}
\]
\end{document}
```
The `arraycolsep` is your `hfill` and the `arraystretch` is your `vfill`. You can adjust these values as necessary.
You can also add extra vertical space to just one line by adding something like `[30pt]` after the line break in the array:
```
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\[\arraycolsep=10pt\def\arraystretch{3}
\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 2 & 3 \\[30pt]
4 & 5 & 6 \\
7 & 8 & 9
\end{array}
\]
\end{document}
```

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691340 | 1 | I am trying to write a proof tree using the ebproof package. I have a long list of predicates most of which are short but one is really long e.g.:
```
\begin{prooftree}
\hypo{h_0}
\hypo{h_1}
\hypo{h_2}
\hypo{h_3 : \textit{a long predicate}}
\hypo{h_4}
\infer5[label]{\textit{conclusion}}
\end{prooftree}
```
Now due to the length of `h_3` I want to stack the hypothesis to render something like:
```
h_0 h_1 h_2
h_3 : a long predicate h_4
---------------------------- Label
conclusion
```
I have come up with two related solutions using an inner proof tree to stack the hypotheses but both have some slight weirdness.
First attempt:
```
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\begin{prooftree}
\hypo{h_0}
\hypo{h_1}
\hypo{h_2}
\infer[no rule]3{
\begin{prooftree}
\hypo{h_3 : \textit{a long predicate}}
\hypo{h_4}
\infer[simple]2[label]{\textit{conclusion}}
\end{prooftree}
}
\end{prooftree}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
```
This almost works but the first line ends up centered over the whole inner proof tree including the label e.g.:
```
h_0 h_1 h_2
h_3 : a long predicate h_4
---------------------------- Label
conclusion
```
Now I can correct this by making the inference in the inner proof tree empty and adding a infer1 to the outer tree. This does better but inserts some weird excess vertical white space (likely do the empty infer):
```
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\begin{prooftree}
\hypo{h_0}
\hypo{h_1}
\hypo{h_2}
\infer[no rule]3{
\begin{prooftree}
\hypo{h_3 : \textit{a long predicate}}
\hypo{h_4}
\infer2{}
\end{prooftree}
}
\infer1[label]{\textit{conclusion}}
\end{prooftree}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
```
results in:
```
h_0 h_1 h_2
h_3 : a long predicate h_4
---------------------------- Label
conclusion
```
Is there a better way to achieve this? If not is there a robust way to fix either method?
Full working example:
```
\documentclass{article}

\end{center}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
```
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/174982 | Stacked hypothesis in ebproof | true | I have discovered the solution. It is possible to control vertical space around the inference line with the option `rule margin`. By setting it to 0 I can eliminate the excess whitespace in my second solution:

edit:
A generalization of this is
```
% Usage:
% #1 : Number of \hypo in line 1
% #2 : line 1, it probably will do weird things if its not just a series of \hypo
% #3 : Number of \hypo in line 2
% #4 : line 2, same note as above
\newcommand{\stackedhypos}[4]{%
\hypo{
\begin{prooftree}
#2 % line 1
\infer[no rule]#1{
\begin{prooftree}[rule margin=0ex]
#4 % line 2
\infer[no rule]#3{}
\end{prooftree}
}
\end{prooftree}
}
}
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\begin{prooftree}
\stackedhypos3{
\hypo{h_0}
\hypo{h_1}
\hypo{h_2}
}2{
\hypo{h_3 : \textit{a long predicate}}
\hypo{h_4}
}
\infer1[label]{\textit{conclusion}}
\end{prooftree}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
```
Putting line `#2 % line 1` inside a `prooftree` eliminates a bug when the top line is longer than the bottom. The more direct generalization e.g.:
```
\newcommand{\stackedhypos}[4]{%
#2 % line 1
\infer[no rule]#1{
\begin{prooftree}[rule margin=0ex]
#4 % line 2
\infer[no rule]#3{}
\end{prooftree}
}
}
```
Would render like this (when the lines are swapped):
```
h_3 : a long predicate h_4
h_0 h_1 h_2
------------------- Label
conclusion
```
instead of like
```
h_3 : a long predicate h_4
h_0 h_1 h_2
--------------------------- Label
conclusion
```

**ADDENDUM:**
-------------
In a more exhaustive review, he found the solution proposed by muzimuzhi Z, in the post [Tcolorbox - footnotes at end of each page](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/558922/154390), review it and give your approval to this great solution; For my part, I only removed the definition that made the decoration look very high and I was deleting the kern command, I hope it is helpful and well, sometimes it is only a matter of formulating a question correctly, otherwise the result will be 42.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691416 | 3 | I'm trying to write a piece of code in LaTeX which includes a crossed set of arrows (the \nearrow and \searrow). Here is my code

I can't seem to understand how to resolve this and get the symbol I'm looking for. After some research I learnt about a \toea command but I can't seem to implement this. Any help would be great!
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/300946 | Crossed NE and SE arrows? | true | Assuming these composite arrows will never show up in first- or second-level subscripts or superscripts (or, more generally, while TeX is in `\scriptstyle` or `\scriptscriptstyle` math mode), the following solution, which creates a macro called `\crossedarrows` with the help of the low-level `\ooalign` command, may be of interest to you.
Note that the definition of `\crossedarrows` assumes that the new symbol is to be used as a relational operator (hence the `\mathrel` directive). If, instead, the symbol should be used as a binary operator, you should change `\mathrel` to `\mathbin`.
```
\documentclass{article}
\newcommand\crossedarrows{\mathrel% % or '\mathbin' ?

Now I want the three lines to be spread out across the page with equal spacing inbetween. However when I change the newlines to `\vfill` I get an error:

Only when I put the `\vfill`s out of math mode will it compile:
```

```
How come `\hfill` works fine in math mode while `\vfill` does not? Is there a workaround to make it usable in math mode? When typing manually I could just open and close math mode eveytime I need a `\vfill`, but when using `sagetex` the output is printed using `$\sagestr{some_custom_functions(some_variable)}$`, which means that everything the function outputs must be usable in mathmode.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/300928 | Why does \hfill work in math mode but not \vfill? | false | The `\vfill` primitive inserts `\par` before it if it is in horizontal mode and it causes error in math mode. TeX suggests to close the math mode by inserting `$` and `\vfill` is "to be read again" as we can read in the error message.
You can insert your `\vfill` in the `\vadjust` parameter. This primitive waits to finishing the paragraph and then inserts the vertical material from its parameter between lines of created paragraph. Your example can look like this:
```
\noindent
$1\hfill2\hfill3\hfill4\vadjust{\vfill}\break
5\hfill6\hfill7\hfill8\vadjust{\vfill}\break

However, I am facing challenges with the configuration. My goal is to automate the process of typesetting my documents with luaLaTeX using latexmake, and I believe this will save me a significant amount of time.
I have tried variations of `latexmake main.tex -lualatex -outdir=output -auxdir=auxil` in the terminal but it tells me that lualatex is not recognized as an argument
For the code examples, I have a template that works and needs lualatex but needs several compilations. Hence the need for a latex maker.
I also have tried to read the documentation for latexmake but I didn't find any solution and there isn't much content about this library online.
If someone could provide guidance on how to configure latexmake to work with luaLaTeX, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/39506 | Constantly have to delete aux.file | false | I realize that this is a very old question, but I have just stumbled upon it experiencing the same problem. The root cause turned out to be radically different than a mistake in the code for me, so I thought I will leave it here for others who also happen to stumble upon this question.
I am using VS Code together with the LaTeX Workshop extension to edit my LaTeX document. In default configuration, the extension launches compilation of the document whenever any changes to the files are saved. What I did not realize is that I had two instances of VS Code open with the same document, so whenever a file was saved, **two compilations** were simultaneously launched, causing the auxiliary files to get corrupted.
The solution was obviously closing one of the instances and making sure that only one LaTeX compilation runs at a time.

In difference to John's answer the note is not forced to fit the height of the paragraph beside, but just tries to use the full width of the margin column.
You can change `origin=c` to `origin=l` or `origin=r` to get another vertical alignment of the notes. You can change `\minboxwidth` to define another width of text, that should not be broken into several lines.
Note: If the maximal number of iterations is too low, the final `\parbox` can be wider as needed, but not wide enough only if the box has to be wider than `\textheight`.

Why does this happen? How do I fix it?
I am running **Linux Mint 21.2**. And yes, documentation is installed as you can see by the result of the locate command.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/300758 | Texdoc can't find some packages | false | **I found the problem and found the solution.** Thanks to @Fran and @daleif for helping.
The problem is that the documentation was installed after installing the **texlive** package. Apparently `texdoc` has a mechanism similar to the `locate` command, which needs to be updated with `sudo updatedb`. The difference is that the `locate` command's database is automatically updated after a reboot (or something like that), but `texdoc` does not.
I discovered this after uninstalling the **texlive** package (which also uninstalled some dependencies), and reinstalling texlive and its dependencies again. After that I was able to locate and open **xcolor.pdf** with `texdoc`.
```
$ sudo apt purge texlive
$ sudo apt install texlive asciidoc-dblatex dblatex dblatex-doc fonts-gfs-baskerville fonts-gfs-porson texlive-bibtex-extra texlive-lang-greek texlive-science
```
During installation, I noticed that it ran the following command:
```
Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... done.
Running updmap-sys. This may take some time... done.
Running mktexlsr /var/lib/texmf... done.
```
With that I discovered the command needed to update the `texdoc` database!
```

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/546467 | 1 | I have a document with equations containing many mathematically not strictly necessary brackets.
These brackets are customary in order to simplify the identification of certain blocks of the equations.
However, they also bring a lot of noise into the document.
I was considering to replace the brackets with a spaces around these blocks.
In order to play around with this idea I want to define a macro that defines something like a new math atom that ensures that there is a space whenever two of these new atoms are next to each other or next to a mathord atom.
However, when this new atom is next to a mathrel, mathbin or another of the usual math atoms it should just behave like a mathord.
```

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691480 | 6 | I am reading Knuth's *The TeXbook*, and experimenting around as directed in Chapter 6, I found that the quality of **overfull** warnings is reported by `x pt too wide` where x is a decimal; whereas, that of **underfull** warnings are reported as `badness N` where N is a nonnegative integer.
**Questions:** Why not report both warnings in the same format (or in both formats)? Also, how to convert from one to another?
---
**Edit:**
This is how I understand it currently: `x pt too wide` means that the line sticks out of the right margin by x points; on the other hand, `badness N` means that the interword spacing is too wide (wide, not narrow, since we have "under"-full) by N units on a linear scale where 0 is "perfect". So, the underfill boxes won't stick out of the right margin. So it does make sense to not report the `x pt too wide` for underfill lines. However, not reporting the badness of overfull lines seems to suggest that **the badness of each of the overfulls is the same, namely the worst 10000, is that so**?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/207649 | Why overfull in terms of pts and underfull in terms of badness? | true | The amount a box is overfull is a length, it sticks out that much, so `pt` is as good a unit as any.
The amount a box is underful is not a length, it is a measure of how much any white space has been stretched to make the content stretch to the box dimensions. Badness is a formula which combines the stretch and shrink components of all white space in the box and gives a measure of how much it is stretched.

Further, the headings should be normal-sized and bold.
I tried to achieve this numeration by using the `\chapter`, `\section`, `\subsection`, `\subsubsection`, `\subparagraph` and `\paragraph`. But I had problems regarding the `\chapter`, which is far too big and shows like "Chapter A: Heading", after I set the counter to big letters with `\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Alph{chapter}}` (which I did with the other layers likewise. The problem with the "Chapter" before each heading could be solved with `\chapter*` and insert the right letter manually (but of course that's not the elegant solution).
The
```
\renewcommand{\thesubsubsection}{\alph){subsubsection}}
\renewcommand{\theparagraph}{\alph\alph){paragraph}}
\renewcommand{\thesubparagraph}{(\arabic){subparagraph}}
```
of the low levels somehow didn't work as with the upper levels, as the heading is displayed as "heading" only (without the the right respectively any enumeration). Also e.g. the `\subparagraph` is too small.
I tried to redefine the commands, so that all headings show the right numeration and embedded as normal-sized in the text body, and tried a few solutions I found in the internet, but somehow I got to no real, good-working conclusion.
So is there somebody who can tell, how exactly the commands can be redefined, that I achieve normal-sized, bold headings in the style of "A. Heading", "I. Heading", ... (that show up in the `\tableofcontents`) ?
I will be very grateful for any working solution!

Notes:
* I've used a flat ToC (which needs at least 3 LaTeX runs!), because IMHO indent per level does not make sense, with this kind of numbering. But you can change this (and the indention in the ToC) using additional options. See the documentation of `\RedeclareSectionCommand` and `\DeclareTOCStyleEntry` in the KOMA-Script manuals. If you want indent of the ToC levels, you can activate the `tocdynindent=true`, currently commented. However, if you would have problems with further adaptions of the table of contents, please ask a new question.
* I've also made `\chapter` behave similar to `\section` etc., i.e., don't start a new page. If you don't like this, just activate the second `\RedeclareSectionCommand` line currently commented. This would result in:
You can do similar settings for the standard classes, using a combination of a package like `sectsty`, `titlesec` etc. with a package like `tocbasic`, `etoc`, `tocloft` etc. IMHO there are already several questions and answers about changing sectioning and table of contents.

Using `align` environment lets you use `&=` instead of just `=`, the ampersand (`&`) makes the equations align at that symbol. The spacing is improved of your original code but perhaps might not be enough, if so please comment.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691496 | 4 | I’m trying to compile the template of the Copernicus Latex package (used for Copernicus journals). I downloaded the package from Copernicus website: <https://publications.copernicus.org/for_authors/manuscript_preparation.html#templates>
I get the warning “Unsupported document class (or package) detected,(caption) usage of the caption package is not recommended” that refers to the file caption.sty
Besides that they layout of the compiled document is 1-column whereas I expect it to be 2-columns (not sure about that, it’s my first submission to a Copernicus journal).
So I have 3 questions:
1. Is it normal that the layout is 1-column and not 2-columns?
2. What causes the “Unsupported document class” warning?
3. Is this warning important or can I go on with the writing without worrying about it?

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/300992 | unsupported document class detected with Copernicus Latex Package | true | `caption` package patches the `\caption` command to add additional features.
It does this assuming the original behaviour is the same or close to `\caption` in `article` class.
Normally if you use a publisher class with radically different caption layout and try to load `caption` package in the document, you get this warning, warning that it may not work correctly.
Here though the authors of the class are loading `caption` *within the class itself* and choosing to ignore (rather than silence) the warning. That's a bit unfortunate but it is by design, so as a user you can assume that the behaviour is as intended, and the warning is spurious.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/190368 | How to format date inputed from file in date format and percentage? | true | You can make use of the `xticklabel` and `yticklabel` options to put into the labels whatever you wish. First of all, you can remove the scientific notation with `scaled ticks=false`.
For the percentages, you could simply multiply 100 with `\tick` which is the variable that stores the current tick value and output the result of this calulation (with a percent sign added to it) to the label via `yticklabel` (see: [pgfplots with percentage on the axis](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/87415/47927)).
To get a proper date formatting, you could make use of the `calendar` library that comes with Ti*k*Z. With the command `\pgfcalendarjuliantodate` you can calculate a date (more correctly, three values for year, month and day respectively that can be stored in three commands) from a given integer. We can again grab this integer via the `\tick` value (which we need to convert to an integer) and add the magic number of 2415019 to it to sync the value of 44000 with the date of 2020-06-18 (I used `\numexpr` for the calculation because Ti*k*Z would run into a dimention-too-large error, but we only need integer calculation here anyways which can be done by TeX directly).

In the subfile, use the command `\ifSubfilesClassLoaded` to make the generation conditional. The code below works when run locally.
With Overleaf, there is the problem that it cannot access the files in the parent folder when processing `mini.tex`, so bibtex fails with the error that `../bib.bib` cannot be found.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691414 | 0 | Inside a macro I would like to establish a new type of float. One of the parameters to be set during that process is \ftype@TYPE, where TYPE is the float type: figure, table, and so on. I know, that \ftype@figure = 1 and \ftype@table = 2 normally are already set in the classes, e.g. report.cls, and I know, that each following float type gets a number, that is double the one before, so the next one would be 4, then 8, then 16 and so on.
What I don't know, though: How can one inside a macro find out, which is the highest float type number already in use -- for not using one twice?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/202047 | Automatically establishing new floattype | false | Unfortunately latex does not provide a good answer here. Effectively the `float` package provides a standard `\newfloat` allocator but it has to guess the initial state, if you load it after floats other than `figure` and `table` are defined then they will be over-written by `\newfloat`.
---
If you don't want to force `float` to be loaded then I would suggest
a) test if `\newfloat` is defined, and if so use it.
b) if it is not defined set a value to 1 then test the usual suspects and double the value each time one is defined, to get the free number so perhaps test `\c@figure\c@table\c@listings\c@algorithm`
---
`listings` package does a simpler version of the same idea with
```
\AtBeginDocument{%
\@ifundefined{c@float@type}%
{\edef\ftype@lstlisting{\ifx\c@figure\@undefined 1\else 4\fi}}
{\edef\ftype@lstlisting{\the\c@float@type}%
\addtocounter{float@type}{\value{float@type}}}%
}
```
so if `\newfloat` is defined in the preamble it uses the next free number from that allocation, otherwise hope for the best and use 1 or 4 depending whether figures are defined or not.

A suggestion about notation (*not* implemented in the code below): Would it be ok to replace all instances of `(L)` and `(L-1)` with just `L` and `L-1`, respectively? Making this change would greatly reduce the high degree of visual clutter.
The code shown below doesn't specify a font size option when executing the `\documentclass` directive, implying that the default `10pt` document font size is employed.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691508 | 3 | Following Chapter 6 of *The TeXbook*, I analyze the errors in the `story.tex` file containing `\errorcontextlines=0` in the beginning, and an erroneous control sequence: `\centerline{\bf A SHORT \ERROR STORY}`. As expected, on running `tex story.tex`, I get the following error:
```
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \bf A SHORT \ERROR
STORY
...
l.4 \centerline{\bf A SHORT \ERROR STORY}
```
But then, similar to what is suggested in the ending double-dangerous section, I type the following after the `?` prompt:
1. `? I\errorcontextlines=100 \oops` (with space, as actually suggested in the book)
This gives the expected follow-up prompt:
```
! Undefined control sequence.
<insert> \errorcontextlines=10 \oops
<argument> \bf A SHORT \ERROR
STORY
\centerline #1->\line {\hss #1
\hss }
l.4 \centerline{\bf A SHORT \ERROR STORY}
```
2. `? I\errorcontextlines=100\oops` (without space)
This gives unexpected prompt:
```
! Undefined control sequence.
<insert> \errorcontextlines=10\oops
...
l.4 \centerline{\bf A SHORT \ERROR STORY}
```
(`\oops` is an undefined control sequence.)
**Question:** This seems to suggest that TeX cares about the space in the above, but this seems wrong! What is going on here?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/207649 | Why does space matter while error-handling in plain TeX? | true | When TeX is scanning for a number, the space after the digits terminates the scanning, so `\errorcontextlines=10<space>` is a "complete" instruction, while `\errorcontextlines=10` is "incomplete", in the sense that what comes after it might change the outcome. The next token might as well be another digit, changing completely the value stored in `\errorcontextlines`, so TeX keeps on expanding looking for more digits or something that terminates the scanning.
You can more clearly see the order in which things happen by comparing the outcome of these two (it doesn't have to be a `?` prompt):
```
% \test shows the value of \errorcontextlines and shows the following token
\def\test{\showthe\errorcontextlines \show}
\afterassignment\test
\errorcontextlines=10 \oops 0x

In the first example, `\errorcontextlines` is assigned 10, then `\text` is executed (because of `\afterassignment`) and shows that the following token is `\oops`. Then `0x` is typeset to the `dvi`.
In the second example, TeX is still scanning for an integer when it sees `\oops`, then it complains that `\oops` is undefined (then ignores it) and resumes scanning for an integer. The `0` is seen and added to the integer, then the `x` is seen, which is not a valid digit, so it stops the scanning. `\errorcontextlines` is assigned 100, then `\text` shows that the following token is `x`. Nothing is typeset.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1319 | 976 | If you were asked to show examples of beautifully typeset documents in TeX & friends, what would you suggest? Preferably documents available online (I'm aware I could go to a bookstore and find many such documents called 'books'). Extra bonus for documents whose LaTeX source is available.
This is not an idle question. Seeing great examples of any craft is both educational and inspiring, let alone explaining why we prefer TeX to Word or other text editors.
For instance, I like how Philipp Lehman's [Font Installation Guide](https://texdoc.org/serve/fontinstallationguide/0) looks. I don't know enough LaTeX to realize how much customization was done, but the ToC looks polished.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/691518 | 4 | Ahoj,
I have an `.eps` file that does some random number calculations in order to look different on each execution.
Now I want to include it into a LuaLaTeX document several times, and each time it is included the postscript code should be run to make each inclusion look different.
But in fact, when I `\includegraphics` the `.eps` file several times, each inclusion looks the same.
With a new LuaLaTeX run it looks different, but I want to have each instance of the `.eps` within the same document looking different.
(How) is this achievable?
I now have a working solution with TikZ, but I am still interested if it is possible with EPS.
Here the EPS file in question:
```

```

\end{axis}

```
What I want now is something like this:
```
\addplot[blue,thick] {x^2+(x+1)^2+...+(x+100)^2};
```
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/298700 | Sum of functions in \addplot | true | A little late but the short answer is to change your ymin and ymax: `ymin=305000, ymax=380000,`, adjust your y-axis labels as you see fit and change your function to `101*x^2+10100*x+338350`. The result running in Gummi is:
That answer might seem a bit strange, so go to a [Sage Cell Server](https://sagecell.sagemath.org/) and copy/paste the code below in
```
f=x^2
for i in range(1,101):
f+=(x+i)^2
plot(f,-100,100)
```
then press `Evaluate` to get
We're dealing with what looks like a parabola and if you think about it, each of the 101 terms in the sum is a quadratic. The x^2 terms all have coefficient 1, so the function has 101x^2. The x terms are 2x, 4x, ..., 200x so the coefficient of x is 2(1+2+...+100). There's a formula for that 2(100/2)(1+100). The constant terms are 1^2+2^2+3^2+...+100^2. There's a formula for that as well (1/6)(100)(100+1)(2(100)+1). The Sage cell server can do the work, though:
In a more general case, which couldn't be reasoned through, you can use the [sagetex](https://ctan.org/pkg/sagetex) package, which relies on an open source computer algebra system to do the work. For this problem we could write
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{sagetex,amsmath,amssymb,tikz,pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.18}
\begin{document}
\begin{sagesilent}
f=x^2
for i in range(1,101):
f+=(x+i)^2
g=diff(f,x)
sol = solve(g==0,x)
\end{sagesilent}
Let $f(x,k)=\sum_{i=0}^{k}(x+i)^2$. For $k=100$ this becomes, after
explanding and collecting like terms, $f(x,100)=\sage{simplify(expand(f))}$
which is a parabola. Since $f'(x)=\sage{g}$ the minimum value is when
$x=\sage{sol[0].rhs()}$.
The plot of $f(x,100)$ looks like this over $[-3,3]$:
\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[axis lines=middle,xmin=-3, xmax=3,ymin=305000,ymax=380000,domain=-3:3,samples=100, smooth,xlabel=$x$,ylabel=$f(x)$, every axis y label/.style={at=(current axis.above origin), anchor=south},every axis x label/.style={at=(current axis.right of origin), anchor=west},xtick={-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3},xticklabels={-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3},enlargelimits=upper, clip=false]
\addplot[blue,thick] {101*x^2+10100*x+338350};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}
\end{document}
```
The result in Cocalc is:
Note that `f=x^2 for i in range(1,101):f+=(x+i)^2` defines the function (the last number, 101, doesn't get executed in Python). I can pull up the expansion `\sage{simplify(expand(f))}`, calculate its derivative, `g=diff(f,x)` and find the value of the minimum `sol = solve(g==0,x)`. These values can then be put into the LaTeX document.
Sage is not part of LaTeX so you will need a free Cocalc account or download Sage to your computer.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/227880 | Minipage with figures, cannot use space after figures for text | false | Since you not provide MWE(minimal Working Example) which reproduce your problem is hard to say what is your problem and by what it is cause.
Anyway:
* Use of the `minipage` is superfluous.
* Sum of images widths can be greater than is size of `\textwidth`, consequently they are not positioned on page as desired.
* Use of the `figure*` indicate that you have two column document where figure should span both columns. It always appear on the next page from point of its insertion in text.
* In the next page, `figure*` without position option will be at top of page, if it occupies less than 30% of page, otherwise it will use the whole page. That it be at top of page with followed text, you need to add to `figure*` position option `[t]`.

* or in preamble insert command

The problems with this code are that:

2. since the pictures have different size, the text on the side gets vertically shifted when switching to the big picture
edit: changed code
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/249546 | Overlay animation with multiple pictures | true | * I would avoid using unscoped `\onslide` if you build your frame non-linearly. You can control the appearance of elements much easier if you use `\only<>{...}` etc.
* to avoid shifts due to the changed image, you can use an `overlayarea` environment. Just make sure that the height of the environment (3cm in the example below) is tall enough to accommodate your tallest picture
* if you use `\uncover` you can avoid that new text will influence the page layout because the text is present on all overlays, just not visible at first
* beamer does not have a floating mechanism. It makes no sense to specify a floating specifier `[H]`. In fact, if your image does not have a caption, you don't really need a `figure` environment unless you want to centre your image.
