https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/139863 | 1 | I am using TexPad for Mac and I have a central `*.bib` file with my bibliography which is automatically generated using Mendeley. Everything works nicely, but now I want to send my colleague the bibliography (but not my entire `*.bib` file) of our joint work, i.e. the `*.bbl` file and I can't seem to find it anywhere, because TexPad takes care of all the auxiliary files so neatly that they are apparently nowhere to be found - anybody every had that problem?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/38633 | How can I export the *.bbl file after compiling with TexPad and using central *.bib file? | false | Open terminal under the folder, and find the temporary files stored in `.texpadtmp/`.
```
ls .tempadtmp/
cp .tempadtmp/xxx.bbl .

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693288 | 2 | I want to write my own library. How could one define a new command equivalent to the following ?
```
\par\noindent\rule[5pt]{\textwidth}{1pt}
```
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/302287 | Making new commands | true | The general answer is the one from my comment:
you can wrap most macro sequences into a `newcommand` macro. In your case e.g. `\newcommand{\commandname}{\par\noindent\rule[5pt]{\textwidth}{1pt}}` where you can exchange `\commandname` with your preference.
At the regular user level command names can't contain hyphens, underscores an other special characters.
Of course, there are many possibilities more to define new commands, like `\NewDocumentCommand`, simple `\def` or `expl3` variants.
But for your simple use case `\newcommand` seems best for me.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693142 | 0 | As expected, biblatex substitutes a dash to the name of the author after the first reference in a list.

Any way to force the dash even after a page break?

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/102277 | 1 | The question [Back-referencing in LaTeX](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/37918/back-referencing-in-latex) was marked a duplicate, so I can't post to that thread. Nonetheless, I found the code provided there by Ryan Reich to be a good learning exercise. His solution provided a comma-separated list of back references, without spaces.
I just thought that his approach would be even more useful, if it could be modified to produce not just a string of comma separated numbers, but actual legible text that might be used in a document.
So I tried to improve his solution
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/25858 | Making Back-Referencing More Pretty | false | The [`cleveref-usedon`](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/cleveref-usedon) package allows for easy back referencing that uses `cleveref`'s formatting (E.g., "Theorem 1", "Section II").
To use it, I needed to install it as it didn't come as part of my LaTeX installation.
EDIT: As of August 2023, there is a bug in `cleverf-usedon` that causes some back-references to not appear. See [this issue](https://github.com/SvenPistre/cleveref-usedon/issues/4) on GitHub.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693280 | 1 | What would be the procedure to see the value of a latex variable such as `\baselinestretch` and `\parskip`.
Macros, such as `\baselinestretch): \show\baselinestretch` and for a dimension such as `\parskip): \showthe\parskip` have been suggested to me.
Are the above commands that would be displayed in the latex document ?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/302229 | Displaying values of latex variables | false | It depends on what kind of “variable” you want to show the value of.
Here's a fairly general method; however, primitive parameters should be dealt with case-by-case, so I only provide a method that will work in most cases.
```
\documentclass{article}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\NewDocumentCommand{\showvariable}{sm}
{
\IfBooleanTF { #1 }
{
\exp_args:Nc \agava_showvar:N { #2 }
}

\showvariable{\baselinestretch}

```
No output in the first case, because the default initial value of `\baselinestretch` is empty.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693383 | 6 | I noticed recently that changing the size of parentheses in LaTeX results in a different encoding of the text in the pdf (as determined using the copy/paste functionality in my pdf viewer). For instance, in the command
```
$\sin(x) + \sin\bigl(x\bigr)$
```
the first term is encoded as `s i n ( x )` whereas the second term is encoded as
`s i n <CR> <LF> <U+FFFD> <CR> <LF> x <CR> <LF> <U+FFFD>`. (Here `<CR>` is [carriage return](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carriage_return), `<LF>` is [line feed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline#Unicode), and `<U+FFFD>` is the unicode symbol for an [unknown, unrecognised, or unrepresentable character](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specials_(Unicode_block))).
This behavior is undesirable because it makes it impossible to find all instance of "sin(x)" by searching the file. As a mathematician who exclusively reads papers and books on the computer, I find it very important that pdf documents be easily searchable. This is also critical from an accessibility perspective.
**Question**: Is there any easy way to improve the encoding of the pdf file so that (for instance) the two terms above are encoded in the same way?
This site has [a related problem](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/119713/making-equations-copyable-in-pdf) that was solved using the `accsupp` package, but in my case that method results in the text string `\sin (x) + \sin \big (x\big )`, which is not so desirable either and is a hassle to make work in the LaTeX file. [Random question: do some visually impaired users prefer that the size of delimiters be recorded, as this output suggests?]
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/63544 | Big LaTeX delimiters have a weird encoding in the pdf. How can I avoid this? | true | How glyphs are copied and pasted depends on the ToUnicode values of the font. Setting them is not trivial with the old type1 fonts. The easiest way to improve copy&paste and accessibility of math is to use lualatex and the unicode-math package and so an open-type math font:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\begin{document}
$\sin(x) + \sin\bigl(x\bigr)$
\end{document}
```
The formula is then copied as
sin() + sin()
But you can't search for `sin(x)` as the real text is `sin()` unless your pdf viewer uses some heuristic to map the two x.
With pdflatex and the standard fonts you can try the mmap package:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mmap}
\begin{document}
$\sin(x) + \sin\bigl(x\bigr)$
\end{document}
```
This then copies as
```
sin(x) + sin
\bigl(
x
\bigr)
```

Occasionally you will find a package which is only distributed via the author's web site or GitHub repository, but there is no other general source. There are a couple of commercial sites including Overleaf that distribute "templates" that are not on CTAN, but in my experience these are often of dubious quality. This is not to say that everything on CTAN is great either; CTAN does not vet any submissions for quality, but in general, CTAN submissions receive more community visibility given that they get automatically added to TeXLive and MikTeX (assuming they are appropriately licensed).

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/302362 | Number raised to a power enclosed in parenthesis and raised to a power | false | **TL;DR**
```
(2^{2})^{x+1}
```
**Extended answer**
In the official LaTeX manual you'll not find instances of code similar to `2^2`, but always in the style `2^{2}`; the same for subscripts.
This is not only for uniformity, but mainly to avoid doubts such as yours.
You want to specify what's the superscript and if you type
```
2^x+1
```
TeX will just take `x` as the exponent: what else could it do? It cannot read your mind.
True, a possibility for specifying “two to the power 2, plus one” might have been
```
2^2 +1
```
with a space. However Knuth decided that spaces in math formulas are *always* ignored; moreover, `2^2 +1` would be ambiguous anyway.
So the right syntax is
```
(2^{2})^{x+1}
```
The single token exponent inside the parentheses *can* also be `2^2`, but leave this for when you'll be more experienced.

Is it expected? Yes. The default font with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX is Latin Modern, which doesn't cover Cyrillic at all. If you want to typeset Cyrillic text with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX you need to use a font that supports it.
For instance, `fontsetup` will choose NewComputer Modern.

Despite my earlier comment, using `\centerline` in LaTeX is a bad idea according to various TeX.SE answers.
I used the `xhfill` package for the rules (otherwise difficult to get a raised `\hrulefill`), and [this answer](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/233857) to get an asterisk that should be centered vertically on the line for different fonts. You may have to play with the height of the rule (hard-coded to `0.5ex`) to get it perfectly aligned with the asterisks for some fonts. MinionPro didn't look perfect, but everything else I tried did. I don't know if you can make it totally foolproof.

CJK characters are **JAchar**, and their fonts are different from **ALchar**'s. `\newfontfamily` is using to set ALChar's font.
You can use `AlternateFont` key to set alternate fonts, so that this font command can switch to another font automatically.

\chapter{Introduction}
\begin{justify}
In recent years, the rapid advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized various industries, and one of the most promising applications lies in healthcare, especially for the senior citizen population. With the global population aging at an unprecedented rate, the need for innovative solutions to cater to the healthcare needs of elderly individuals has become increasingly pressing. This thesis focuses on the development of IoT-based healthcare systems tailored for senior citizens, addressing critical challenges such as mobility assistance, fall detection, and fall prevention.\\
The first component of this thesis revolves around the creation of a low-cost smart walking assistant, designed to enhance the mobility and independence of seniors. By incorporating sensor-based technology, this system aims to provide real-time support and feedback to elderly individuals during their daily walks, ensuring a safer and more confident experience.\\
The second aspect of this thesis tackles the specific issue of fall detection, which is particularly pertinent for patients with Parkinson's disease. Through the utilization of smartphone-based sensors and intelligent algorithms, a fall detection system will be developed, offering timely alerts to caregivers or medical professionals, ultimately reducing the fear of falling and enhancing the overall quality of life for Parkinson's patients.\\
Lastly, the thesis delves into the creation of an indigenous fall prevention system, specially designed to address the unique needs of senior citizens. This system, characterized by its affordability and ease of use, aims to empower elderly individuals in preventing falls, thereby mitigating potential injuries and improving their sense of security.\\
In conclusion, this thesis endeavors to contribute to the well-being of senior citizens by presenting low-cost, sensor-based, and user-friendly IoT solutions, focusing on enhancing mobility, reducing fear of falling, and preventing falls. These innovations hold great promise in improving the quality of life for lonely seniors, while also providing caregivers and healthcare professionals with valuable tools to monitor and assist this vulnerable population.

```
Repeating the mandatory argument without `\internallinenumbers` as optional argument is needed to avoid writing (the expansion of) `\internallinenumbers` to the `lof` file, which is used to generate the list of figures.
You could even place the `\internallinenumbers` automatically to the mandatory argument only:
```

```
Note: This suggestion would not work, if you'd put `\captionof` inside a box or minipage. In this case the box/minipage would get it's own line number. So you would have to switch off line numbering before the box and reactivate them after it:

There is also a second vertical line crossing the text that I haven't figured out to remove and when I try to include it in a documentclass[article], I get 1.5 empty pages upfront for a reason I don't understand, but these are secondary questions.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/297368 | How can I label points in a timeline? | true | The second vertical line comes from the second iteration of the first loop.
The linked Q/A used the value `34`, I don't know why OP had that in his original code. Just remove the `5` and/or replace the loop and substitute `0` for `\xValue` (which I did in the code below).
You can just do
```
\node[base right=of Text] {\Label};
```
after you add `\Label` to the loop variables.
**Notes:**
* `1995.01`–`1995.12` will not be recognized as a linear progession through the years. You will need some adjustments to allow real dates.
* If the `\Label` will be multiline it might be higher than the `\Year` node and thus produce bad results when the chain isn't adjusted for that.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693441 | 0 | I am using texshop on a mac (version below) and when compiling the main thesis file it is missing out two of the chapters as it 'cant find the aux file'. Why would this be and how can I resolve the issue? I created the files in the same way and they are formatted the same as the previous results chapters so shouldnt be any different.
It continues to write the main file just excluding these chapters.
Can I force create aux files? Or why would they not be created?
Here is some of the code I get on the console:
```
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.22 (TeX
Live 2021) (preloaded format=pdflatex)
restricted \write18 enabled.
No file Main-pages/ch6-results-ch4.aux.
No file Main-pages/ch7-results-ch5.aux.
```
Please could anyone help - please explain in simplified tex speak with some instructions as I am not the most confident user.
Thank you so much!!
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/302402 | .aux files missing or not being created in texshop | false | You have shown no source so it is hard to help, but your main document presumably has
```
\include{Main-pages/ch6-results-ch4}
```
if you add such a line you will always get the warning
```
No file Main-pages/ch6-results-ch4.aux.
```
on the next run of latex, but that run should write `Main-pages/ch6-results-ch4.aux` so on the next run, the warning should go.
If that did not happen then something is preventing the `aux` file.
* TeX might not have write permission to that directory (this would generate an error, which you should show)
* The main document could specify `\includeonly{..}` for some list of files not including `Main-pages/ch6-results-ch4` in which case that chapter will be skipped and no aux file will get written.
* Some other unrelated error caused TeX not to complete properly and write the aux file. In which case you should show the error.
* Some over-aggressive "clean" script from your editor or build pipeline is removing aux files between latex runs. (Don't do that:-)

You can avoid this by using a fixed length as distance instead of `\hfill`. This way the distance between the image will remain the same when you change their size.
You could for example use `\hspace{1cm}`, `\qquad` or similar macros:
```

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/498034 | 3 | I am submitting an article in Arxiv.
I need to write abstract for that.
I have written in latex but when I copy the same in abstract there is a problem with citation. I have uploaded .bbl file in Arxiv. When I compile, its is not taking \cite{some name} where “some name” is some label in .bbl file.
I have written `\<https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0605694>` but it is not compiling correctly.
Can some one suggest how to cite a webpage correctly in Arxiv abstract?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/165931 | Latex in Arxiv abstract | false | arXiv-ids entered into the metadata abstract are automatically linked into a clickable link at the time of announcement. Currently the submission system does not convert links into clickable entities in order to keep you within the submission system and prevent mistakenly leaving a submission.
You do not need (or want) to enter the full URI for a link, as this will get converted into "this HTTPs URL" at announcement rather than `arXiv:YYMM.NNNNN` (or for the older formats, `arXiv:archive/YYMMNNN`). The `arXiv:` prefix is not required, but is considered the standard form of the canonical identifiers.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693462 | -1 | I would like to use `\hfill` (or it could be a similar command) the same way it works outside the math environment.
Right now I have
```
\begin{align*}
dw=ddf=0.
\end{align*} \hfill $\#$
```
But I would like to have the `$\#$` in the line above, because that is the way it is in the rest of the document.
I already tried
```
\begin{align*}
dw=ddf=0. \hskip0.7\textwidth
\end{align*}
```
but then the formula is no longer centered, which is no coherent with the rest of my document.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/300642 | hfill in align environment, so that the formula is still centered | true |
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\noindent
X\dotfill X
\[ dw=ddf=0.\tag*{\#} \]
\end{document}
```
Note you should never use `align*` for single line equations or without `&`. `\[` or for numbered equations, the `equation` environment, will generally produce better vertical spacing for singe line equations. Without a `&` in an align you only have the left hand side of the equation, so it is set flush right.
`\tag*` produces an alternative label (without `(` `)` for the `*` form)

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693471 | 0 | #### Summary of issue
I followed the [guide](https://web.archive.org/web/20160712215709/http://www.howtotex.com:80/tips-tricks/faster-latex-part-iv-use-a-precompiled-preamble/) linked in [this](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/377033/179104) answer, and it works perfectly for me. However, I find that if I use a precompiled preamble, and then specify `\includeonly{}`, the full document is still compiled.
Is there something obvious I'm missing?
#### MWE
File: `main.tex`
>
> %&preamble
>
> \includeonly{part1}
>
> \begin{document}
>
> \include{part1}
>
> \include{part2}
>
> \end{document}
>
>
>
File: `preamble.tex`
>
> \documentclass{article}
>
> \usepackage{amsmath}
>
> \csname endofdump\endcsname

>
>
File: `part1.tex`
>
> Part 1.
>
>
>
File: `part2.tex`
>
> Part 2.
>
>
>
#### Precompilation
I precompiled the preamble using `pdftex -ini -jobname="preamble" "&pdflatex" mylatexformat.ltx "preamble.tex"`
If you change `%&preamble` in `main.tex` to `\input{preamble}`, it works as expected.
#### System info
Compiled under the LaTeX Workshop extension for Visual Studio Code on Windows 10, using latexmk.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/179104 | \includeonly{} not Working with Precompiled Preamble | true | Once a document using the precompiled format starts being processed TeX skips over the preamble as far as `\endofdump` or `\begin{document}`. This allows a document to be used for both pre-compiling the format, and as the actual document, even though you used separate files here.
So you need to add `\csname endofdump\endcsname` to your main document at the point you want processing to start, before `\includeonly` otherwise no commands in the preamble will be executed.

I don't want to define the variable n myself; I want its value to be determined automatically by the macro.

I am unaware if this can even be done, but if it can then I would appreciate a method that would work in Overleaf.

[URLs in bibliography: LaTeX not breaking line as expected](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/115690/urls-in-bibliography-latex-not-breaking-line-as-expected)
to no avail. Interestingly, arxiv.org expects .bbl file, not the .bib file.
I tried to manually insert '\-' hyphenation into the .bbl file but that didn't work.
How can I break long URLs on arxiv.org?

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693465 | 4 | To save space in tables, I want to reduce the tracking in the words. To do this I am using code from [here](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/95898/176762).
The code below works correctly and is displayed as expected, but for every occurence of \test I am getting a warning like this:
`Package microtype Warning: tracking amount list `output.tex/8' will override list `default' for font `OT1////' on input line 8.`
I wasn't able to figure out why this happens, maybe someone with deeper insight could help me out here.
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{microtype}
\newcommand\narrowstyle{\SetTracking{encoding=*}{-50}\lsstyle}
\newcommand{\test}{\narrowstyle Test}
\begin{document}
\test\test\test
\end{document}
```
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/176762 | microtype Tracking warning | true | I ended up using `\textls` instead, which works fine and without errors and doesn't require silencing any errors (though that is also a helpful option):
```

\usepackage{microtype}
\newcommand\narrowstyle[1]{\textls[-50]{#1}}
\newcommand{\test}{\narrowstyle{Test}}

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693493 | 16 | Online Judges are platforms used in competitive programming. Participants write code that solves a problem. Competitors submit their programs to the online judge, which runs all pieces of code in the grading server under the same predetermined input (if any) and environment. The judge compares the output of the programs with the correct output and determines whether the participants solved the task or not.
I was upset when I was forced to ditch my favorite language because major coding competitions did not support it. Now I am working on a project to incorporate as many languages as possible to an online judge, focusing on unpopular languages. Recently I successfully integrated \*sh and powershell. While searching for new candidates, the TeX family came to mind. It would be a fabulous addition to the group.
My plan was to compile, collate all PDF pages to a long image, OCR it then compare it with the right output. That is, `pdflatex | pdftocairo | tesseract | diff`. However I was met with numerous challenges. Since TeX writes to PDF which has a length limit, problems that require users to output a long line of text cannot be judged properly.
For example, consider a basic problem that asks contestants to simply print the numbers 1 to 100 in a line, separated by one space. Using C, one could do this:
```
$ cat ./example.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
printf("%d ", i);
}
return 0;
}
```
The code would be judged by this process:
```
$ gcc ./example.c -o ./example.o
$ ./example.o
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100
```
This would be diffed and the online judge would rule it correct. However in LaTeX the output would inevitably span on multiple lines, resulting in a different output when ocr'd. Formatting matters in competitive programming and this cannot be deemed correct. I can't modify tesseract params to assume all output is in one line, since that would break any question that requires more than two lines of output. Giving exemptions to TeX would be unfair for other languages.

Not only does the output span over multiple lines, numbers 1 to 9 were erroneously combined into a single string by tesseract. Would there be a feasible way to adjust this procedure so that there would be a reliable automated grading system for TeX akin to other established languages that would not give it a disadvantage nor an advantage?
If this is not viable the only other way would be to make TeX output to stdout or a plaintext file like all others. Can TeX be instructed to do this?

A slightly shorter code variant using an expandable function to map over the integers from 1 to 100 and an expandable macro adding a space (TeX can be weird when it comes to stuff being expandable or not, so this might be the harder to use variant in writing to a file if you have more complicated things to be done):
```
\ExplSyntaxOn

\cs_new:Nn \my_addspace:n { #1~ }

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693501 | 2 | I use LaTeX on my Macbook through VSCode and the LaTeX workshop extension. This lets me edit my documents with a real time preview. I don't use (and have no plan to) any of the other programs that were installed when I downloaded LaTeX on my machine. Specifically, I would like to get rid of TeX Live Utility but there is also TeXShop and LaTeXiT that I would like to remove.
I am not sure how LaTeX installations work in terms of structure, but would it be safe to delete these files from my Applications folder? Or would this cause issues with my LaTeX installation(s)?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/302444 | Can you safely remove TeX Live Utility on macOS? | false | TeX Live Utility is a GUI wrapper for `tlmgr` which allows you to keep your distribution up-to-date. It will not cause any problems to delete it, but it only takes 120 Mb of space, and is extremely useful. See
* [TeX Live Utility, don't know how to start it](https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/254375/2693)
for an explanation of how to use it and what it does.
If you do decide to delete it, then you must use `sudo tlmgr` from the command line to update your distribution. Personally, this is not something that I ever do, despite the fact that I do many other things from the command line. TeX Live Utility is a great app, and I really don't see any reason not to use it.
TeXShop is a great editor, but if you're happy with VSCode then by all means delete it. LaTeXit is also a useful app, although it can easily be replicated with the `standalone` class, so this is the least useful of the included apps in my opinion.
You didn't mention BibDesk, but if you plan to use `bibtex` at all for your writing, then it is another excellent app included with MacTeX that I would not recommend deleting.

So finetuning is still needed. I suggest to remove the comments (=line deletions) step-by-step-with-compiles to ensure, it still compiles AND things move into the right direction.
This way you can localize problems when they occure (and sometimes it's a good idea to disable those lines and leave solutions for later ... often they are gone, anyway).

The file compiles but however it doesn't show the nomenclature in the pdf.
I read that I had to do some other steps when compiling but I don't know exactly what those are and I can't find the file where to add those.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/232181 | \printnomenclature doesn't work | true | I had the same issue and **solved it by changing the latex recipe** used to build the latex document.
After running LaTeX on your source file (e.g., filename.tex), you need to run makeindex to generate the nomenclature list. The command for this is usually:
```
makeindex filename.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o filename.nls
```
This step is crucial. If you skip it, the nomenclature will not be generated. Since you are using LaTeX Workshop in VSCode, you might need to configure the build recipe to include this step.
This can be done by editing your settings.json in VSCode.
You can access settings.json under **Files->Preferences->Settings**
Then go to Extensions and click on **"Edit in settings.json"**.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693493 | 16 | Online Judges are platforms used in competitive programming. Participants write code that solves a problem. Competitors submit their programs to the online judge, which runs all pieces of code in the grading server under the same predetermined input (if any) and environment. The judge compares the output of the programs with the correct output and determines whether the participants solved the task or not.
I was upset when I was forced to ditch my favorite language because major coding competitions did not support it. Now I am working on a project to incorporate as many languages as possible to an online judge, focusing on unpopular languages. Recently I successfully integrated \*sh and powershell. While searching for new candidates, the TeX family came to mind. It would be a fabulous addition to the group.
My plan was to compile, collate all PDF pages to a long image, OCR it then compare it with the right output. That is, `pdflatex | pdftocairo | tesseract | diff`. However I was met with numerous challenges. Since TeX writes to PDF which has a length limit, problems that require users to output a long line of text cannot be judged properly.
For example, consider a basic problem that asks contestants to simply print the numbers 1 to 100 in a line, separated by one space. Using C, one could do this:
```
$ cat ./example.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
printf("%d ", i);
}
return 0;
}
```
The code would be judged by this process:
```
$ gcc ./example.c -o ./example.o
$ ./example.o
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100
```
This would be diffed and the online judge would rule it correct. However in LaTeX the output would inevitably span on multiple lines, resulting in a different output when ocr'd. Formatting matters in competitive programming and this cannot be deemed correct. I can't modify tesseract params to assume all output is in one line, since that would break any question that requires more than two lines of output. Giving exemptions to TeX would be unfair for other languages.
```
$ cat ./example.tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgffor}
\pagenumbering{gobble}
\begin{document}
\foreach \i in {1,...,100} {%
\i\space%
}%
\end{document}
```
```
$ pdflatex ./example.tex
$ pdftocairo ./example.pdf -jpeg -singlefile
$ tesseract -c debug_file=/dev/null ./example.jpg -
123456789 1011 12 13 1415 1617 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54
55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80
81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100
```
Not only does the output span over multiple lines, numbers 1 to 9 were erroneously combined into a single string by tesseract. Would there be a feasible way to adjust this procedure so that there would be a reliable automated grading system for TeX akin to other established languages that would not give it a disadvantage nor an advantage?
If this is not viable the only other way would be to make TeX output to stdout or a plaintext file like all others. Can TeX be instructed to do this?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/302437 | Evaluating TeX output in competitive programming | false | The other answers change the input document, one a bit more radical than the other. This may not be desired for a programming competition, where you would want to judge somewhat 'natural' code.
Instead of compiling to pdf you could also compile to html using `tex4ht`. This allows the input to be the same, and produces a html file containing plain text which may be easier to diff than PDF+OCR over multiple lines etc.
Basic example:
`example.tex`
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgffor}
\pagenumbering{gobble}
\begin{document}
\foreach \i in {1,...,100} {%
\i\space%
}%
\end{document}
```
```
make4ht example.tex
```
Resulting `example.html`:
```

</p>
</body>
</html>
```
Of course executing a for loop to print a list of numbers is something that is not very TeX-like, and it would therefore be a poor choice for a programming competition. You could also assign the participants a math exercise. For this you can choose between an image format in the output, which is not suitable for automatic judging, or MathML, or MathJax.
Examples:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgffor}
\pagenumbering{gobble}
\begin{document}
\foreach \i in {1,...,100} {%
\i\space%
}%
$c = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}$
\end{document}
```
Terminal command for MathML:
```
make4ht example.tex "mathml"
```
Resulting html (snippet, lightly formatted for readability):
```
<!-- l. 9 --><p class='indent'> <!-- l. 9 -->
<math display='inline' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML'>
<mrow>
<mi>c</mi> <mo class='MathClass-rel'>=</mo>

<mo class='MathClass-bin'>+</mo> <msup><mrow><mi>b</mi></mrow>
<mrow><mn>2</mn></mrow></msup></mrow>
</msqrt>
</mrow>
</math>
</p>
```
Terminal command for MathJax:
```
make4ht example.tex "mathjax"
```
Html snippet:
```
<!-- l. 9 --><p class='indent'> \(c = \sqrt {a^2+b^2}\)
</p>
```
If you want to make parsing/diff-ing the file a bit easier then you can introduce one or more environments in the LaTeX file and assign a html `class` attribute to the part of the output that corresponds to that exercise. This requires a separate configuration file for TeX4ht.
`mycompetition.cfg`
```
\Preamble{xhtml}
\ConfigureEnv{assignment}
{\HCode {<div class="assignment">}}
{\HCode {</div>}} {} {}

\end{assignment}
\begin{assignment}

\end{document}
```
Terminal command:
```

This would be diffed and the online judge would rule it correct. However in LaTeX the output would inevitably span on multiple lines, resulting in a different output when ocr'd. Formatting matters in competitive programming and this cannot be deemed correct. I can't modify tesseract params to assume all output is in one line, since that would break any question that requires more than two lines of output. Giving exemptions to TeX would be unfair for other languages.

Not only does the output span over multiple lines, numbers 1 to 9 were erroneously combined into a single string by tesseract. Would there be a feasible way to adjust this procedure so that there would be a reliable automated grading system for TeX akin to other established languages that would not give it a disadvantage nor an advantage?
If this is not viable the only other way would be to make TeX output to stdout or a plaintext file like all others. Can TeX be instructed to do this?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/302437 | Evaluating TeX output in competitive programming | false | **EDIT:** The following approach **doesn't work** for the intended purpose, as Pandoc will not really evaluate all of tex (unless I am missing something) and thus e.g. the `foreach` in the example does not render the numbers via Pandoc...
Unless the goal is to test fine-grained skills in Latex formatting, I think the best output format is Markdown - you can use Pandoc to do the conversion (see Example 5 at <https://pandoc.org/demos.html>). The desirable properties of markdown output is that it is
1. almost plain text, so easy to diff
2. somewhat robust to different latex coding styles - i.e. where mild changes to Latex source would create mildly different PDF or add extra <div> tags to HTML output, they could still result in exactly identical Markdown output
You'd probably want to set `--wrap=preserve` to avoid having the output wrapped to 80 char width (which is the default)

```
\begin{itemize}

```
\begin{itemize}

```
\let\itemaux\item

The supplied code changes the color of "\* Cat" to red, but is not limited to the `\coloritem`, so "\* Dog" is also displayed in red instead of in the color that was active before the `\begin{itemize}`.

Zarko's answer to that question (<https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/693393/277990>) includes an **Addendum** whose code gives exactly the output I want for situations in which there is only one group of successive statements whose '=' symbols are horizontally aligned.
I would like to allow for situations in which there is more than one such group. Please see my remarks in the following code:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\begin{document}
% The code given in the Addendum to Zarko's answer:
\begin{tabularx}{250pt}{r l @{\;} >{$\raggedright}X<{$} l}
1. & \multicolumn{2}{l}{Math}
& Words \\
2. & m & = 9/3 & Words \\
3. & & = 3 & Words \\
\end{tabularx}
\vspace{1cm}
The above code is succcessful.
However, it cannot cope with situations in which
there are two or more different groups of successive statements
requiring separate horizontal alignments of = symbols.
For example, look what happens to the output if we keep going
(e.g. if we add lines 4 and 5 to the above):
\vspace{1cm}
\begin{tabularx}{250pt}{r l @{\;} >{$\raggedright}X<{$} l}
1. & \multicolumn{2}{l}{Math}
& Words \\
2. & m & = 9/3 & Words \\
3. & & = 3 & Words \\
4. & 34x+2 & = 30/2 & Words \\
5. & & = 15 & Words \\
\end{tabularx}
\vspace{1cm}
We see that the horizontal alignment of all four `=' symbols
is determined by the `=' symbol in line 4,
whereas what we want is for the `=' symbol in line 3
to be aligned with the `=' symbol in line 2
and for the `=' symbol in line 5
to be aligned with the `=' symbol in line 4.
In other words, we want to eliminate
the space between `m' and `= 9/3',

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/3450 | Bug in siunitx? | true | By using `\tothe{\sfrac{1}{2}}` you are relying on `siunitx` printing the power with no mathematical intervention: the unit is handled in 'parsed' mode as everything 'looks' parsable (there are no out-and-out literals). However, once you add `\per`, in parsed mode `siunitx` needs to do maths with the exponent. That fails as `\sfrac{1}{2}` is not a number.
What you should be doing here is helping out `siunitx` using `parse-units = false`: that forces literal printing, and no inversion of the fraction is attempted.

I will think a bit about whether this should *always* be an error. I have in the past toyed with conversion of fractions in exponents, but it looks quite a lot of code and not 100% reliable. I will though look at this again: I'll log some issues.

I have found the package `dashrule` [via this answer](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12537/how-can-i-make-a-horizontal-dashed-line), but this only works for `\rule` situations; i.e. it can't be directly used as a line in a table, and LaTeX won't compile it. Conversely, I've tried wrapping the `\hdashrule` in a multicolumn:
```
\multicolumn{5}{|c|}{\hdashrule{130mm}{1pt}{4pt}} \
```
However, the padding around the table cell breaks the flow of the table, and the horizontal rule is not aligned with the other `\hline`s of the table. (It also means that the rule width must be specified manually.)

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693639 | 0 | I'm using ModernCV to create my CV and I've spent a long time playing around with link styles. I find coloured links to stand out too much or clash with other colours on the page, and the standard underline to be too strong, especially under headings or bold text.
The solution I've landed on is to underline all links with a `lightgray` underline. This is just subtle enough and works well throughout the document.
I understand the default solution is supposed to be to configure the outline settings in the `hypersetup`, but I have never got this to work. If I set `pdfborder` to anything other than `0 0 0` I'll always get horrible boxes around links that I can't configure.
The main package I've found that allows you to control the colour of underlines is [soul](https://ctan.org/pkg/soul?lang=en), with the `\setulcolor` command to customise soul's custom `\ul` command. The main problem I had with that was that whenever I tried to use that in conjunction with a hyperlink I got an error about too many `}`s that I couldn't explain.
How can I successfully set the link underline to `lightgray`?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/302527 | How to add a coloured underline to all links | true | The solution I found is customised from [this lifesaver of an answer](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/311136/302527), using `hyperref` and `soul` together to replace the old `href` function.
The solution provided there actually gave me the error "Package soul Error: Reconstruction failed", but [this answer](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/413338/302527) told me I just needed to add an `\mbox`.
So, here's how to make all links underlined with a `lightgray` underline:
```
\usepackage{hyperref,xcolor, soul}
\setulcolor{lightgray}
\let\oldhref\href
\renewcommand{\href}[2]{\oldhref{#1}{\hrefstyle{#2}}}
\newcommand{\hrefstyle}[1]{\ul{\mbox{#1}}}
```
Which results in nice subtle links looking like this:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693635 | 0 | Is translating old research paper in Math, Physics or CS (which are not written in the modern LaTex form but old font using typewriters which do not look good or appealing to the eyes and are not easily readable) to latex a good way to learn LaTex?
For example here is an old paper by Leslie Valiant titiled [The complexity of enumeration and reliability problems](https://www.math.cmu.edu/%7Eaf1p/Teaching/MCC17/Papers/enumerate.pdf). I am trying to convert it to latex file and then produce its pdf. Similarly other old papers from the time when Latex( say early 20th centurey ) was not available can also be rewritten in LaTex. Is it a good practice to enhence LaTex skills?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/302526 | Learning Latex by converting old research papers to Latex | true | My first thought: probably the most painful way to approach LaTeX.
Second thought: why not?
Third: why not going over such papers, identify interesting parts and reproducing them in LaTeX? I.e. focus on parts, not the whole paper, at least in the beginning.
Let's illustrate the third thought.
### Layout, 1st page
An almost no-brainer is adding a title, the author and the abstract-environment. With `\usepackage{blindtext}` you can mimic the structure of the content (1. Introduction, 2. Preliminaries etc.)
For the header you need to have indication, that there's a package waiting for you: `fancyhdr`. And in almost no time you've mimicked 80 % or more of the first page.
What did you learn? Well the standard and its extensions via packages.
### Page 2: all the math inside
That's a good exercise to try the standard implementation of the math environment. I.e. here you probably won't have the need to have a look at `amsmath` etc.
### Same page: more environments
Right, that is, or should be, an environment, as it's used more than once. So, either time to find an existing one, or to spend some time on your new friend, the `\newenvironment` statement.
It's also a good idea to identify other repeating patterns, like "TM" here, and may be put them into a macro `\newcommand`: that improves consistency and makes changes easy.
### And so on
It will probably be a good idea to do several things in parallel while you're learning, e.g.:
* read a good book introducing LaTeX, like on [wikibooks](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX)
* try the codes you read there, i.e. write and compile simple documents
* try identifying what you read in the research papers you mentioned
* if you don't find it now, leave it for later: it will become more self-evident (or have a search here)
* do what I lined out above, i.e. replicate parts which are relevant from a LaTeX point of view, like `\section`, `\newcommand`, lists etc.
Not to forget: many times there is more than one way to let LaTeX do the typesetting. After some time you'll know which solution came first (and might have had problems, or are still useful), why certain extensions were made (some are very versatile, others are trading trouble for problems).
BTW, a nice search term for google is:
* ctan //your keywords//
e.g. [ctan header](https://www.google.com/search?q=ctan%20header) leads you quickly to `fancyhdr`.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/287680 | Problem with 'memoir' v3.8 and 'csquotes' | true | It is not really `memoir` related. The Hook code in the kernel has issues with active chars ( `\MakeBlockQuote{<}{|}{>}` makes `>` active).

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/81930 | 6 | I am working in a minipage, because I want two columns next to each other in landscape mode.
In the first column I would like to place a figure, and then a tabular. I am scaling the tabular to exactly fit the minipage. This is roughly the outline:
```
\newpage
\begin{minipage}{0.50\textwidth}
\begin{center}
\resizebox{\columnwidth}{!}{%
% latex table generated in R 2.14.1 by xtable 1.6-0 package

}
\end{center}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{0.50\textwidth}
\end{minipage}
```
What I now would like to do is plot the remaining figure in exactly the correct proportions to fill the remainder of the page - the width is fairly easy, but what is the height? The problem is also that I don't know the number of rows of the table in advance.
So I need some way to determine the height of the tabular, subtract it from the textheight, to obtain my remaining space for the figure.
`\settoheight` unfortunately only works on text.

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/35243 | Backrefs not working when creating a pdf using bookdown/latex | false | So here's my answer. But, as said in the comments multiple times, your code and the workflow is too long to run all commands and debbug the output by myself.
As your using a `csl` style with pandoc there will be no `bibitems` produced which `hyperref` could use as ref point. I would recommend to run pandoc without `citeproc` and use `biblatex` option instead to output a `tex` file. Something like `pandoc <your input file> -t latex --biblatex -o xyz.tex` with the fitting files and additional arguments.
Then you can set the correct `biblatex` options, like `style=apa`, `backref` etc. and compile the `tex` file using `xelatex` and `biber`.
**Attention**: As mentioned I didn't test it for R-markdown compatibility and output due to your extensive file contents and complex workflow.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/593907 | 2 | I'm taking a beating from biblatex's punctuation tracker, and thought I'd better ask for some assistance.
I'm trying to create a macro which is meant to be used as a general flag that I have translated a certain quotation. The natural place for this would be the citation postnote, but I wouldn't want to overdo it, and I think it is enough to do it every chapter, or section.
So, I came up with the following macro:
```
\newcounter{mytranslationcount}[section]
\newrobustcmd*{\mytranslation}{%
\ifnum\value{mytranslationcount}=0
\addcomma\addspace\printtext{my translation, as will be all following ones
in a foreign language}%
\stepcounter{mytranslationcount}%
\fi}
```
It mostly works, but not quite. It does print the intended text when it should. However, it messes with `biblatex`'s punctuation tracker, and this results in undesired output when the macro prints nothing, and there is nothing else in the postnote. In this case, the printing of the postnote, which from biblatex's point of view is not empty, triggers the punctuation tracker and we get a comma. And, as nothing else comes after it, we also lose the final period (in the case of a footnote).
A MWE:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear,autocite=footnote]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\newcounter{mytranslationcount}[section]
\newrobustcmd*{\mytranslation}{%
\ifnum\value{mytranslationcount}=0
\addcomma\addspace\printtext{my translation, as will be all following ones
in a foreign language}%
\stepcounter{mytranslationcount}%
\fi}
\begin{document}
\section{Section 1}
% Looks good.
\autocite[\pnfmt{3333-3345}\mytranslation]{sigfridsson}

\autocite[\pnfmt{3333-3345}\mytranslation]{sigfridsson}
\section{Section 2}
% Still good.
\autocite[\mytranslation]{sigfridsson}
% This is the offending one. When there is nothing else in the postnote and
% \mytranslation prints nothing, biblatex has already called in the postnote
% punctuation from the tracker, so that we get an unwanted comma and lose an
% wanted period.
\autocite[\mytranslation]{sigfridsson}
\end{document}
```
I was hoping for one such macro I could use like this in the postnote, for the semantic value of doing it this way. Given this hope, I haven't yet tried to resort to `\AtNextCite(key)`, or to tampering with the `postnote` macro directly, but I'm all ears...
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/105447 | Conditionally print something in a biblatex postnote (punctuation issue) | false | I'm revisiting this problem, and I've never been completely happy with the alternatives. But, that given, perhaps this is the best place to keep track of them. So, I leave below possible working alternatives, each with their caveats.
First, testing the content of `postnote`:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear,autocite=footnote]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\newcounter{mytranslationcount}[section]
\NewDocumentCommand{\mytranslation}{}{%

}
\AtEveryCitekey{%
\ifboolexpr

\section{Section 2}
% Still good.
\autocite[\mytranslation{}]{sigfridsson}
% OK.
\autocite[\mytranslation{}]{sigfridsson}
\end{document}
```
Second, making `\mytranslation` a flag (to be used outside of the citation):
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear,autocite=footnote]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\newcounter{mytranslationcount}[section]

\xapptobibmacro{postnote}{%

and

) }
{\addcomma\addspace\printtext{my translation, as will be all
following ones in a foreign language}%
\stepcounter{mytranslationcount}}
{}}{}{}
\begin{document}
\section{Section 1}
% Looks good.

\mytranslation\autocite[\pnfmt{3333-3345}]{sigfridsson}
\section{Section 2}

\mytranslation\autocite{sigfridsson}
% OK.

You need several compilations (because `nicematrix` uses PGF/Tikz nodes under the hood).

If you wish, you can add a background under the matrices with Tikz (by using the PGF/Tikz nodes created by `nicematrix` under the row, columns and cells of the matrices).

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693600 | 4 | I'm writing a handbook for my students and I want to create a command which should draw a task definition, its type and possible features, like source and link to the solution on YouTube.
In my plan all of these definitions should work (of course I use pseudo syntax here on purpose, just to show you my intention):
* `\task{definition=$x=3$}`
* `\task{definition=$x=3$, source='ABC'}`
* `\task{definition=$x=3$, link='https://youtube.ru'}`
* `\task{definition=$x=3$, source='ABC', link='https://youtube.ru'}`
But I cannot find any tool similar to optional and named arguments.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/302499 | Is there a way to add optional and/or named argument to command | false | For a simple task, imho1, nothing beats the simplicity of `expkv-cs` and `\ekvcSplit` (this only works for up to 9 keys, for more it's most likely better to use methods from `expkv-def` which work similar to `\DeclareKeys` -- or another key=value implementation like the one built into LaTeX).
1I'm the author of `expkv` and family.
To have an easy way to add formatting instructions and extra text to a key one can use a front facing key that decorates some internal key. So every time you say `link = www.example.com` this becomes `link-internal={ (See www.example.com)}`.
Also in `expkv` you don't have to hide an additional `=`, but you'd have to hide a `,`.
This borrows the example created by @campa and modifies it to use `expkv-cs`:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{expkv-cs}
\ekvcSplit\task
{
% set up primary keys, all defaulting to an empty value
definition = {}
,source-internal = {}
,link-internal = {}
}
{This is a task with definition #1.#2#3}
% set up decorators
\ekvcSecondaryKeys\task
{
meta source = {source-internal = { You can find its source in #1.}}
,meta link = {link-internal = { (See #1)}}
}
\begin{document}
\parindent0pt
\task{definition=$x=3$}\par
\task{definition=$x=3$, source=ABC}\par
\task{definition=$x=3$, link=https://youtube.ru}\par
\task{definition=$x=3$, source=ABC, link=https://youtube.ru}
\task{definition=$x=3$}
\end{document}
```
---
Alternatively to the `\ekvcSplit` version, you could also use the `\ekvcHash` version, in which you can access the key-values by name (the entire list will be forwarded inside of `#1`, and `\ekvcValue` can be used to access items from that list -- this works for arbitrary many keys).
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{expkv-cs}
\ekvcHash\task
{
% set up primary keys, all defaulting to an empty value
definition = {}
,source-internal = {}
,link-internal = {}
}
{%
This is a task with definition \ekvcValue{definition}{#1}.%
\ekvcValue{source-internal}{#1}%
\ekvcValue{link-internal}{#1}%
}
% set up decorators
\ekvcSecondaryKeys\task
{
meta source = {source-internal = { You can find its source in #1.}}
,meta link = {link-internal = { (See #1)}}
}
\begin{document}
\parindent0pt
\task{definition=$x=3$}\par
\task{definition=$x=3$, source=ABC}\par
\task{definition=$x=3$, link=https://youtube.ru}\par
\task{definition=$x=3$, source=ABC, link=https://youtube.ru}
\task{definition=$x=3$}
\end{document}
```
---
If you want an interface closer to the one provided by `\DeclareKeys` you could use `expkv-def`. In addition to a `store`-handler it also provides `dataT`. The instruction `dataT link = \taskLink` will define `\taskLink` such that by default it'll gobble the next token or brace-group, but if the key was used it'll put the value as `{<value>}` behind the next token or brace-group (and would strip the braces from that following brace-group).
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{expkv-def}
\ekvdefinekeys{task}
{
store definition = \taskDefinition
,dataT source = \taskSource
,dataT link = \taskLink
}
\newcommand\taskSourceFormatter[1]{ You can find its source in #1.}
\newcommand\taskLinkFormatter[1]{ (See #1)}
\newcommand\task[1]
{%
\begingroup
\ekvset{task}{#1}%
This is a task with definition \taskDefinition.%
\taskSource\taskSourceFormatter
\taskLink\taskLinkFormatter
\endgroup
}
\begin{document}
\parindent0pt
\task{definition=$x=3$}\par
\task{definition=$x=3$, source=ABC}\par
\task{definition=$x=3$, link=https://youtube.ru}\par
\task{definition=$x=3$, source=ABC, link=https://youtube.ru}
\task{definition=$x=3$}
\end{document}
```
---
And if you really want to, you could use basically the same syntax as for `keyval` by using the basic `expkv` without any of the extension packages:
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{expkv}
\newcommand*\taskDefinition{}
\newcommand*\taskSource{}
\newcommand*\taskLink{}
\ekvdef{task}{definition}{\def\taskDefinition{#1}}
\ekvdef{task}{source}{\def\taskSource{#1}}
\ekvdef{task}{link}{\def\taskLink{#1}}
\newcommand\task[1]
{%
\begingroup
\ekvset{task}{#1}%
This is a task with definition \taskDefinition.%
\ifx\taskSource\empty\else\space You can find its source in \taskSource.\fi
\ifx\taskLink\empty\else\space (See \taskLink)\fi
\endgroup
}
\begin{document}
\parindent0pt
\task{definition=$x=3$}\par
\task{definition=$x=3$, source=ABC}\par
\task{definition=$x=3$, link=https://youtube.ru}\par
\task{definition=$x=3$, source=ABC, link=https://youtube.ru}
\task{definition=$x=3$}
\end{document}
```

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693505 | 1 | while there have been similar questions, mine have not been answered yet.
I am using `\usepackage[backend=biber, style=apa]{biblatex}` to cite my sources.
My paper cites a lot of organizations, UN Women, World Bank, UNICEF, and the like. Using Zotero, I have exported the corresponding Bibtex files and added the to my reference list. Multiple problems have occurred using `\autocite`:
1. For example, *UN Women* is always cited as *United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women*. While that is the correct title, this heavily affects the flow of reading and I only want it to be written out the first time it is cited, afterwards it should be written as *UN Women* only. Same for the other organizations and other sources from UN Women.
2. Titles like the one above are only cited as *(for Gender Equality & the Empowerment of Women)* if no curly brackets are added to the author in the Bibtex source. As many organizations with long names are quoted within my theses, manually going through all citation keys would be very tedious, is there a way to solve this?
Any ideas how to solve this?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/302448 | How to cite organizations properly? | false | 1. With the APA style, this is automatic as long as you have the full author in the `author` field and the short form in the `shortauthor` field.
2. You should usually put the full `author` field for group authors like this in braces so that they are not parsed as a normal name.
See examples 8.7d in the APA style documentation and data file:

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/286293 | How do I enclose and color vertices? | false | The quiver software/website isn't really the best to get started with TikZ-CD, it's rather verbose. The [library's manual](https://texdoc.org/serve/tikz-cd/0) is rather short and has examples.
Here's the same diagram with `\ar`rows from inside the cells with the target specification and no unnecessary empty rows and columns.
It doesn't look good. TikZ-CD is not the best tool for this diagram.
---
I believe placing the nodes in a circular fashion is much better which is what I show in the other two diagrams via the [`graphs` libraries](https://tikz.dev/tikz-graphs).
The first diagram only uses subgraphs of the `graphs.standard` library, however it isn't easy to specify colors for individual nodes here (it will need [a small bugfix](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/659120)) but you can do the same manual and just add things like `[blue]` or `[draw=red]` as usual.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693679 | 4 | Is there a function akin to scanf of C that can simultaneously parse stdin or txt and assign them to variables? For example, I am trying to typeset a pdf from a text file. The first line contains the number of lines I should typeset, and the rest contains three numbers that form an addition problem.
```
$ cat input.txt
5
5 2 7
4 7 11
8 0 8
7 5 12
9 7 16
```
In C one could do as follows:
```
$ cat program.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
FILE* input = fopen("input.txt", "r");
int n, a, b, c, i;
fscanf(input, "%d", &n);
for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
fscanf(input, "%d %d %d", &a, &b, &c);
printf("%d + %d = %d\n", a, b, c);
}
return 0;
}
$ gcc program.c -o program.o
$ program.o
5 + 2 = 7
4 + 7 = 11
8 + 0 = 8
7 + 5 = 12
9 + 7 = 16
```

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/167081 | Inconsistency between \int_compare and \fp_compare when dealing with logical operators | true | Something like `2<3` is a valid ⟨fp expr⟩ and `\fp_eval:n { 2<3 }` returns 1. You can also use logical operators. Examples:
```
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\fpeval{1<2}
\fpeval{1<2 && 2<3}
\fpeval{1<2 || 3<2}
\fpeval{1>2 || 3<2}
\end{document}
```
This prints
1
1
1
0
So `\fp_compare:nTF { 1<2 && 2<3 } { yes } { no }` returns “yes”, because the evaluation is 1, which is nonzero.
To the contrary, `1<2` is not a valid ⟨int expr⟩. Moreover, you cannot use `\int_compare:nTF { 1<2 && 2<3 } { yes } { no }`, because the argument is invalid: the argument has to be in the form
⟨int expr⟩⟨relation⟩⟨int expr⟩⟨relation⟩…⟨int expr⟩⟨relation⟩⟨int expr⟩
and logical operators are not allowed.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693651 | 0 | I just started using `LaTeX` again after a long hiatus to prepare a new CV. I'm using [this template](https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/awesome-source-cv/wrdjtkkytqcw). So I looked at the class definition .cls and found the custom photo command and the newcommand `\idphoto` and where everything is used, but I'm totally lost how to change the code so the picture is rectangular. Otherwise I really like the template, so it would be really nice if somebody knows how to do this.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/302538 | How to change photo format from circle to rectangle in a cv template | false | In the `cls` file, you have the definition of the `idphoto` command between lines 261 - 263, there you can show that is using the option circle.
```
\newcommand\idphoto{
\tikz\path[fill overzoom image={\@photo}]circle[radius=0.5\linewidth];
}
```
if you change the circle part with something like `(0, 0) rectangle (2.5, 2.5)` you will have the photo into a rectangular shape.

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/272065 | 3 | I'm using Zotero to manage and export reference lists. Sometimes text fields contain an accent, circumflex, umlaut etc.
When I used such bib files in LyX (tried the `plain` and `unsrturl` styles), I get the following errors:
* `Command \texteuro unavailable in encoding T1` (similar error for OT1; using `\usepackage{textcomp}` [makes the error disappear](https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/191813/command-texteuro-unavailable-in-encoding-t1))
* `Undefined control sequence`
* `Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined` (still appears, even after using `\usepackage{textcomp}`)
Only when I replace accented characters with regular characters the code compiles.
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/49734 | How to solve encoding issues with Zotero-generated BibTeX file? | false | I am not using Lyx, but I have just gone through this issue with my own Zotero setup. The issue is that Zotero encodes everything with UTF-8 (Unicode), so the exported .bib files it creates will also have UTF-8 encoding. BibLaTex is UTF-8-compatible, but BibTex is not; so, if you are trying to compile with BibTex or Biber, i.e., you have a line such as `\usepackage[backend=biber, citestyle=chem-acs, maxbibnames=99]{biblatex}` in your preamble, it will give you an error complaining about UTF-8. In my case, I'm using TexWorks, so I only get the error when I *recompile* with pdfLaTex. This is a major issue and there are many open questions about it.
I tried adding `\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}` to my preamble, but it didn't help.
A currently-working solution is to use the excellent 3rd party Zotero Add-on [zotero-better-bibtex](https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex) to export a BibTex-formatted .bib file with the UTF-8-encoded characters swapped to LaTeX-encoded characters. There is currently no way to do this by default in Zotero.
In order to install the add-on, I had to [upgrade to the latest version of Zotero](https://www.zotero.org/support/installation) and then install zotero-better-bibtex [according to the instructions](https://www.zotero.org/support/installation):
* Save the XPI file from <https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/releases/tag/v6.7.111> to `~/somewhere`
* Manually install the .xpi from Zotero Add-ons menu
* restart Zotero
In order to export the .bib with unicode swapped to LaTeX
* select export > Format: `Better BibTex` (*not* `Better BibLaTex` (BibLaTex is UTF-8-compatible))
* In TexWorks,
1. Compile with pdfLaTeX
2. Compile with Biber
3. Compile with pdfLaTeX
I can now compile without errors and get a PDF of the bibliography with properly formatted special characters

This will create some text-boxes with a rule that is horizontally connected to other text-boxes.
**What I want** is the text-boxes on the left to be centered on top each other, but still with a rule coming out right where the text-boxes end (as is it is right now, just that the boxes are not centered but left aligned). Seems tricky.
**Sketch**:
I got:
```
name, name ------------------- name, name
place
place ------------------------
place
```
I want:
```
name, name ------------------- name, name
place

So that the text on the left is centered but the rules are still coming out from it.

To set the initial list may need another command, depending on how many times you need to change the list.
EDIT: I have a bit more time now, so a small amount of explanation.
I chose `clist` rather than `seq` (like @Skillmon's answer), but they behave (at least from a user's perspective) much the same (on the version I tested against). I did look through `interface3.pdf` for "shuffle", but didn't find it. I suspect that is due to the age of the install - it's the one that my (not exactly new) Linux package manager supplies (I think it's TeX Live 2018, but am not at that computer right now). I can see (on a more modern TeX Live) that `seq` has shuffle, and `clist` doesn't, though.
I have edited the style a bit, but I suspect it is still not fantastic.
Explanation of code:
* `\clist_set:Nn` sets the named variable to the provided comma-separated list
* the sort algorithm decides to swap two members of the list depending on if a random floating-point number (from 0 to 1) is bigger than .5 (rather than inherent features of the list)
* the `\clist_use:Nnnn` will print commas between items (except for the last two, which will be a comma and the word "and")
* This version will keep the order, unless `\randomisestudents` is called, which is slightly different from the other answer. This can be changed, by putting a call to `\randomise_students:` in the `\print_students:` method (either before or after the `clist_use`)
As @DavidCarlisle mentions, the use of `rand > 0.5` in a sort may lead to the sort never terminating, if the sort algorithm assumes `a>b` and `b>c` then `a>c`. As a result, I would not use this method or code for anything but a one-off project, where I can stop the run and restart if it looks like it is non-terminating.
Because it worked during testing, I didn't think too much about potential pitfalls.

After doing some debugging I found that the offending command appears to be `fleqn` in the call to `\documentclass[12pt,fleqn,letterpaper]{article}`. If I remove `fleqn` the spacing is uniform. Any ideas how to get uniform vertical spacing and still use `fleqn`?
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/18450 | Why is there a larger vertical space after the first subequation? | false | I just ran into this problem and did not want to change what I already have much. Here is a workaround by adding an empty row to the top and setting a negative vertical distance for the line-break. It is based on the answer at <https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/223999/150849> .

| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/18450 | Why is there a larger vertical space after the first subequation? | false | There are `\abovedisplayskip` and `\belowdisplayskip` around the first equation but there are `\abovedisplayshortskip` and `\belowdisplayshortskip` around other equations. Because these registers have set different values, you see the uneven spacing. TeX internal algorithm uses `\*short*` registers for vertical spacing if there is a horizontal space between the last word of the previous paragraph and the beginning of the equation. Something like this:
```
last word
equation
```
but it uses no "short" registers in other cases, like this
```
last last lats last word
equation
```

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/693800 | 1 | As a teacher I would like to create some work sheets with gridded space after the question for the students to type their solutions in. I used tikz in order to make a 4mm x 4mm grid and this works just fine.
However, I want to have a solution paper, which is the same sheet but instead of an empty grid I would like to have the solution written on that grid. Is this somehow possible?
Thanks in advance!
| https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/292979 | How to overlay a tikz grid with text? | true | With no code there's a good amount of guessing. In my own school class I use something like this
```
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\newif\ifsolution
\newcommand*{\grid}{}
\def\grid(#1,#2)#3{%
\tikz[baseline=(text.base)]{%
\draw[gray,step=.4](0,0)grid(.4*#1,-.4*#2);
\node[align=flush left,text width=.4*#1cm-3mm,anchor=north west] (text) at (0,0.1) {\strut\ifsolution#3\fi} ;
}%
}
\begin{document}
\solutiontrue
Hello \grid(4,7){world! How are you?}
\end{document}
```
The *x* and *y* values here are just the numbers of "boxes" (in your case 4mm each). The boolean `\ifsolution` controls the appearance of the solution.
