Hello everyone. Recently I've been trying to make a template document to be used by everyone in the company to easily create every kind of document in LaTeX without too much coding skills needed. Between these template files, there is one which if imported, it will print all glossaries (ToC, List of Figures, List of Tables). However, I've been noticing that some documents do not have any image or table, and once they compile, they display the LoT and LoF as empty pages. Since it's a bit ugly to see and these template files to be imported are not meant to be edited by the end-user (basically, removing the \listoftables and \listoffigures when needed is not an option unfortunately), do you know if there is a way to tell LaTeX to render the LoT and LoF ONLY if there is at least one image/table in the document? Thank you! submitted by /u/TrainMaster844 [link] [comments]

How do you, idk, activate? asymptote in Prism? I have \usepackage{asymptote} at the beginning but it shows "Package asymptote Warning: file `main-1.pdf' not found on input line 128.", and everytime I ask the AI, it always say to turn on terminal panel or something like what??? If I try to fix it though, it converts it to TikZ (I'm not too familiar to it, and even though I'm just a beginner, Asymptote is easier to handle) Speaking of, it says that I should run "latexmk -pdf -shell-escape main.tex" on the panel but again where is it? How do you that and all... Please help... Thank you! submitted by /u/FrostyCar281 [link] [comments]

Built this because I was tired of Overleaf's pricing and the fact that AI tools cost extra everywhere. What makes it different: — AI Error Fixer: one click explains and fixes broken equations. No more reading 500-line logs. — Journal Formatter: select IEEE/Nature/Elsevier/Springer/ACS/APA → auto-reformats abstract length, section names, and citation style. — DOCX export included free (Overleaf charges for this) — Runs entirely in the browser. Your files never leave your machine. Free beta: scholar.nirogstack.in Brutal feedback welcome — what breaks first? submitted by /u/Brilliant-Analyst745 [link] [comments]

hey everyone i want to ask if any one have used https://intotex.com and could tell me if it is good to convert PDF to LaTeX , tbh i i need a tool that converts PDF to LaTeX and i need some help in doing so if possible could someone verify me this tool and if there is another tool that can convert 80 pages flawlessly and thanks in advance submitted by /u/wjcdl003 [link] [comments]

Hi I'm pretty new to LaTeX and I'm trying to write my diss in Overleaf - I need to put images in tables and I've been doing that with the \minipage command and it's worked fine before, but in this particular case it gives me a runaway argument error when all the brackets are closed. Pls help!

Terribly sorry for the noob question, but I am at my wits end here... I try to make a very basic graph using the [miktek]{gnuplottex} package with the epslatex terminal, which, in the past, served me well enough, but now it seemingly decided to not function any more... As shown in the image, while epstopdf seems to work fine and constructs a "eps-to-converted-to.pdf" file for the terminal to pick up and work with; only then for pdftex to not find any such file anywhere. I'm using TeXstudio 4.9.1, compiling using pdflatex (with --shell-escape). If there's any additional info required to sort this out, I'm happy to provide it. Thanks in advance for your support. submitted by /u/EffectivlyComplex [link] [comments]

Basically the title. Here are the options I know about: There are a lot of websites where you can upload a PDF, and it will tell you if it has accessibility issues. Like any unknown website that comes up in a search engine, there are trust issues. I don't know how accurate the report is, and I don't know what it does with the data in my PDF, privacy-wise. There is Adobe Acrobat Pro which doesn't work on linux (my OS) and costs money. There is PAC (PDF Accessibility Checker) for Windows. I installed it on my wife's computer, but it gave a warning that the PDF was a PDF standard 2.0 file, and it only knew how to parse up through 1.7 standard files. So I'm wondering what you all use, and if one of the websites that comes up is reliable for you. Anyway, my story is that I am unable to produce a single accessible tagged PDF, at least according to the website I tried. Here is my MWE that i compile with lualatex: \DocumentMetadata{ lang=en-US, pdfstandard=UA-2, pdfversion=2.0, tagging=on } \documentclass{article} \begin{document} Hello world, does this work? \end{document} The website says that the PDF "does not claim PDF/UA compliance" and "No tags found. Critical failure." The pdfinfo utility says that it is indeed tagged, so I don't know who to believe. I got the same results with a chapter of my book. submitted by /u/ave_63 [link] [comments]

Hi! So for context, my department and college invested quite a bit of resources to get ready for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act requiring WCAG2.1AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), going into effect April 24th. We have an entire team of people working on it, including myself. I also do research, so it's natural for me to work on accessible slides. You can download the slides and the TeX source on my webpage. It seems to work pretty well, based on testing with NVDA with the MathCat add-on. However, there are a few things that I am not sure about, so I thought I'd ask here. First question Initially, the animation was compiling as several hundred individual images without alternative text, and JAWS was tabbing through each individual image. Obviously that's not good, so I tried making it intentionally untagged. NVDA now reads it as "button, multimedia button", which seems ok. I did this by using \usepackage{animate} and \begin{center} \leavevmode\SuspendTagging{animation}\animategraphics[loop,autoplay,height=2in]{12}{images/Time}{2}{260}\ResumeTagging{animation} \end{center} Is there a better TeX code for this? I don't want to recommend something to my very busy colleagues and then have to change it later. Second question: One of my colleagues here figured out getting \section{...} and \subsection{...} with page numbers into the footer of each slide. The footer is intentionally untagged. So I have my title, "Quantum Groups, Interacting Particle Systems, and Writing a Paper with GenAI" as a \section{}, which compiles as an H1. Then I have "Introduction" as a \subsection{}, which complies as an H2. Then the title page is an H4, which is at the top of each slide. However, the H1 and H2 aren't visually shown, and there's no H3. What do you all suggest? Thanks in advance! EDIT: in case you don't want to click to my webpage, here is the relevant code for the second question: \DocumentMetadata{ lang=en-US, tagging=on, pdfversion=2.0, tagging-setup={math/setup=mathml-SE} } %... \documentclass[10pt]{ltx-talk} \section{Quantum Groups, Interacting Particle Systems, and Writing a Paper with GenAI} \subsection{Introduction} \begin{frame}\frametitle{Title Page} %it seems that there can be a compilation error if the first line or last line of the frame in LaTeX is empty \begin{center} \Large Quantum Groups, Interacting Particle Systems, and Writing a Paper with GenAI \normalsize NAME AUTHOR \end{center} \end{frame} submitted by /u/JKUAN108 [link] [comments]

I'm an undergrad studying CS, Math and Art, and when my professors started assigning me things in LaTeX, I hated it at first because I couldn't easily add the visuals that I wanted to my projects. Thus, instead of doing the normal thing and spending a bit of time learning TikZ, I decided to spend a year building a tool that would let me build basically any figure I wanted and let me export it to TikZ code. Above are just a few things I was able to create, each image taking between 10-20 mins to make. Each of them has auto-generated TikZ code that allows me to copy paste it straight into LaTeX. If y'all want to try it out, the link is figrex.com/vecdraw, you do need an account for some of the tools which use the backend. I still have a huge list of things that I want to make better, but I would love to hear other ways to make it better if you do try it out. submitted by /u/Danks_you [link] [comments]

Does anyone happen to have (or know a link to a website that has) a list of LaTeX devs experienced at writing packages that would be open to considering new package requests?

My neovim is leaking memory when editing latex files. The memory leak happens only in insert mode. As soon as I start typing, RAM usage starts rising (some 50MB per line) and doesn't stop until I restart neovim. Editing other filetypes doesn't cause the issue. LSPs are configured in native neovim. Texlab is installed and working. If I disable texlab at lsp.lua and restart neovim, the memory leak stops (but I lose an important part of my workflow because the LSP grabs references from the .bib file, so disabling it doesn't help me much). Disabling the LSP with :lsp disable on the active buffer doesn't stop the leak immediately, but after typing some more it stops adding RAM usage. Google and AI results tell me that this might also be a treesitter issue. However, there's no treesitter parser for latex installed. Running :lua vim.treesitter.stop() also doesn't help. Since this is a problem that happens only with texlab but the memory leak is in neovim, I'm not even sure on which github repo should I post an issue. Any further help diagnosing the problem is appreciated. Thanks! Edit: this is a bug in neovim. I've opened an issue here: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/38968 submitted by /u/HeathenHeart87 [link] [comments]

I am trying to graph a system of 3 inequalities in 3 dimensions. These ineuqalities are: [; y-z\ge\frac{1}{2}x ;], [; x-z\ge0 ;], and [; x+y\ge3z ;].

Please verify that you have enabled system calls. For pdflatex, this is 'pdflatex -shell-escape'. Sometimes it is also named 'write 18' or something like that. Or maybe the command simply failed?

Latexdiff sometimes produces results that cannot be compiled, and I do not know why. There used to be the diff-pdf, but it is now blocked by the antivirus that my University installed on all working machines, and I cannot change it. So what is an option? I'm thinking about scientific STEM papers with equations, tables, diagrams, and figures. The goal is not to track changes by author, but rather to ensure there are no unexpected rendering issues when macros are removed before the final journal submission. submitted by /u/Arastash [link] [comments]

I am thinking of building a free browser extension for Overleaf that adds faster LaTeX typing features, like: autocomplete for LaTeX commands and math symbols snippet expansion (;a → \alpha, // → \frac{}{}) environment templates (align, equation, theorem, etc.) possibly citation/ref autocomplete later maybe optional AI help in the future Before I build it, I want to understand whether this is actually useful. A few questions: What slows you down most when writing in Overleaf? Would you use autocomplete/snippets if they worked well? Which features would matter most: math symbols, environments, refs/citations, tables, custom snippets? Do you currently use any workaround or existing tool? Would you install a browser extension for this, or would you prefer a native Overleaf feature? submitted by /u/manikk69 [link] [comments]

Hi, I suppose I'm new to LaTeX, never really learned much about it, but I use templates in overleaf for my resume for easy editing and formatting. However, I ran into this issue where my first line is cut off and I cant figure out why or how to fix it. I've been reading the overleaf learning database, but of course the examples given for individual parts of the code are insufficient. the images attached are as follows: the environment code. I have made 2 pertinent changes: the [8] used to be [2], and I changed the formatting of the itemize function, the original line is the comment at the bottom. the actual text for the environment, with personal information omitted how the document looks when recompiled Not sure if this is relevant, but, I have some coding experience with python, matlab, C, and C++, but I am not very good at it and struggle with some basic concepts. submitted by /u/radfanwarrior [link] [comments]

New to Latex. I'm trying to understand if it is possible to separate as much as possible the data (text+images) from the layout. My objective would be, among others, to be able to translate more easily a book project in another language (just have to translate the pure text data). I came to the conclusion that maybe the python package pandoc could help. Did some of you used scripting to produce complex latex (scientific books for example), and how did you do. Are they known books that have been produced with Latex + scripting ? submitted by /u/SietJP [link] [comments]

Not a mod. But I was hoping to raise awareness that if you post a question that gets an answer then other people also benefit from that exchange. We've all googled a LaTeX question and found an old answer, and been glad it is there. Some people lurk here, picking things up over time. I'm not sure why so many people delete exchanges. There are good reasons to delete things sometimes, but asking for a clarification on a technical point does not seem, at least to me, to be one of them. The only other thing I can think is that those folks think that their question is clogging up the stream. I was hoping with this post to convince them that they are mistaken, and to leave it in place. In particular, if the answerer spends 15 mins on that answer and you delete the question, then you've been not too kind back to the person who was kind to you. submitted by /u/JimH10 [link] [comments]
