Compiling: LaTeX->dvips->distiller This process creates a PDF file. I use AcroTeX packages that allow the following lines, among others: \begin{docassembly} \insertPreDocAssembly aebTrustedFunctions(this, aebSaveAs, "Save"); \end{docassembly} Until a few days ago, this meant that the PDF document was saved at the end. Now that the document is no longer saved automatically, this must be done manually before each further compilation process, otherwise Distiller cannot create the new PDF. Does anyone know how this problem can be solved so that the PDF is saved automatically again? Many thanks in advance for any helpful ideas.

I'm trying to recreate a diagram for my research paper using TikZ in LaTeX. It’s a vertical mechanical system showing a base-excited spring-damper setup with two masses: one representing the wings and one for the body of a flapping-wing aerial vehicle.

A simple LaTeX document like \begin{document} \section{One} Text. \section{Two} More text. \end{document} will be compiled into a PDF with numbered sections, like 1 One Text. 2 Two More text. Is there a way to convert the .tex source to any more or less plain text format that would have numbered sections?

I am trying to get the solution in https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/747040/319072 to work for some tikz commands I am making, but am running into roadblocks when it comes to implementing a tikz key interface (built on pgfkeys). I want to use many optional keys in a command, but I don't know how to properly interface them with lua commands. With lua commands, I only really know how to accept mandatory parameters, namely integers. I want feedback on my attempt to implement a basic parametric curve generator. My goal is to interface the "pgfkeys" (actually, the tikz keys) with the lua. Yes, I know that it doesn't follow the linked post, but I couldn't get that post to work with the tikz key interface, hence my mwe being the way it is. % texse.tex % arara: lualatex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{texse} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \appendcurve[ u min = 0 ,u max = 2*math.pi ,u samples = 36 ,fx = { 2 * math.cos(u) / 0.7 } ,draw options = { red ,ultra thick } ]{name} \rendersegments \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} % texse.sty \NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}[1994/06/01] \ProvidesPackage{texse}[ 2025/07/01 v0.01 LaTeX package for a TeX.SE question. ] \RequirePackage{tikz} \tikzset{ u min/.estore in = \tikz@umin ,u max/.estore in = \tikz@umax ,u samples/.estore in = \tikz@usamples ,fx/.code n args = {1} {\edef\tikz@fx{"#1"}} ,fy/.code n args = {1} {\edef\tikz@fy{"#1"}} ,fz/.code n args = {1} {\edef\tikz@fz{"#1"}} ,draw options/.code n args = {1} {\edef\tikz@drawoptions{"#1"}} ,u min = 0 ,u max = 5 ,u samples = 5 ,fx = math.cos(u) ,fy = math.sin(u) ,fz = 0 ,draw options = {"line cap = round"} } \newcommand{\appendcurve}[2][]{ \begingroup \tikzset{#1} \directlua{ local texse = require "texse" texse.append_curve{ u_start = \tikz@umin, u_end = \tikz@umax, u_samples = \tikz@usamples, fx_str = \tikz@fx, fy_str = \tikz@fy, fz_str = \tikz@fz, draw_options = \tikz@drawoptions, name = #2 } } \endgroup } \newcommand{\rendersegments}{ \begingroup \directlua{ local texse = require "texse" texse.render_segments() } \endgroup } -- texse.lua local texse = {} local segments = {} function texse.append_curve(hash) local u_start = tonumber(hash.u_start) local u_end = tonumber(hash.u_end) local u_samples = tonumber(hash.u_samples) local fx_str = load(("return function(u) return %s end"):format(hash.fx_str))() local fy_str = load(("return function(u) return %s end"):format(hash.fy_str))() local fz_str = load(("return function(u) return %s end"):format(hash.fz_str))() local draw_options = hash.draw_options local name = hash.name local u_step = (u_end - u_start) / (u_samples - 1) local function parametric_curve(u) return {fx_str(u),fy_str(u),fz_str(u),1} end for i = 0, u_samples - 2 do local u = u_start + i * u_step local A = parametric_curve(u) local B = parametric_curve(u+u_step) table.insert(segments,{{A,B}, draw_options, name}) end end function texse.render_segments() for _, seg in ipairs(segments) do S, E = seg[1][1], seg[1][2] tex.sprint( "\\draw["..seg[2].."]".. string.format( '(%f,%f) -- (%f,%f);' ,S[1],S[2],E[1],E[2] ) ) end segments = {} end return texse

on this tikzpicture, there are two exploded slices, but I would like them to be exploded "together", as a group.

I have published a book on Amazon and IngramSpark. I have been using TexShop to compile with XeLaTex. The IngramSpark printers have had no problems with my PDF. For long stretches, I have sold print copies on Amazon, but twice now, they suddenly say my PDF is corrupt on the same page: The interior file is corrupt and cannot complete in production. While reviewing the file we found there was a drawing error on PDF Page 352. Resolution: Please create a new PDF from the native file, using a new PDF producer. This should be a new file, with a new name, and should not be a resave over the previous file. When creating a new PDF, please follow the "Print to PDF" section of the following resource: https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G202145060 My early physical proof copies show no errors on the page they mention. They have no problem with the eBook. The first time I fixed the problem (or so I thought), I trashed the aux files and compiled from scratch in TeXShop. I also changed the image on that page from a PGFPlots vector image to a PNG screenshot because I thought a drawing error referred to an image issue. They also made me change all my fonts to outlines because Libertinus wasn't on their list. I Printed to PDF (as Amazon KDP wants) using my Mac's Previewer app. Since the page has those two changes and is coming back with the same problem, I guess I do need to use a new PDF producer like they say. Would using a different editor to compile a PDF prevent "corruptions"/"drawing errors" when attempting to print the PDF? If so, please advise on which editor I should use on my Mac. Alternatively, give any advice, including on different ways to Print to PDF if you think that is the issue. At the moment, TEXstudio and Texifier are at the top of my consideration list. More possibly relevant info: Going to the link they provide, you can see they prefer that submitted files are optimized. I did not do that because the original file was only 33 MB and I didn't want to reduce the resolution of images. The second time I submitted, I used Adobe Acrobat Pro to make a PDF/X-1a compliant PDF, but their Print to PDF step makes it non-compliant.

I want to define a new environment called property similar to the equation environment in the sense that it has a customisable \tag to which I can refer to later. Here's an example of how I have done it before: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath, amsthm} \usepackage{hyperref} \usepackage{cleveref} \makeatletter \newcommand{\leqnomode}{\tagsleft@true\let\veqno\@@leqno} \newcommand{\reqnomode}{\tagsleft@false\let\veqno\@@eqno} \makeatother \theoremstyle{plain} \newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem} \newenvironment{property}[1][$\star$]{\begin{equation*}\tag{$#1$} \begin{minipage}{0.80\linewidth}}{\end{minipage}\end{equation*}} \crefname{property}{property}{properties} \Crefname{property}{Property}{Properties} \begin{document} \begin{theorem} This is a theorem. I have some set $Y$ such that the following property holds true: \begin{equation} \tag{$*$} \label{statement} \leqnomode \parbox{0.75\linewidth}{For any $y \in Y$ we have that $\overline{y}\neq y$} \end{equation} \end{theorem} \begin{proof} This is a proof. By property (\ref{statement}), the statement is trivial. \end{proof} \end{document} and how it turned out The reason I want to do this is so I can then use the cleveref package and refer to statement and have it show as "property (*)" My goal is to have only have the text and inline math be written within the property environment, so the syntax should/could be something like \begin{property}{*}\label{statement} For any $y \in \Y$ we have that $\overline{y}\neq y$ \end{property} This is what I tried so far \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath, amsthm} \usepackage{hyperref} \usepackage{cleveref} \makeatletter \newcommand{\leqnomode}{\tagsleft@true\let\veqno\@@leqno} \newcommand{\reqnomode}{\tagsleft@false\let\veqno\@@eqno} \makeatother \theoremstyle{plain} \newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem} \newenvironment{property}[1][$\star$]{\begin{equation*}\tag{$#1$} \begin{minipage}{0.80\linewidth}}{\end{minipage}\end{equation*}} \crefname{property}{property}{properties} \Crefname{property}{Property}{Properties} \begin{document} \begin{theorem} This is a theorem.

I continue working on the project mentioned here (dynamic height of tikzpicture). Now I need to draw a grid inside of the box after a text. Although drawing most of the grid is easy, I face a problem with the last horizontal line. Since I have rounded corners, there's a case when the last line should start at a rounded line, but I have troubles drawing that. Here's what I mean: I tried to code it using simple maths, but for some reason it still doesn't work. I also have the same problem with the ending of the line. My code is: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[a4paper,top=20mm, bottom=20mm, left=10mm, right=10mm]{geometry} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage{pgf} \makeatletter \newcommand{\textwidthVal}{\strip@pt\textwidth} \makeatother \definecolor{checkeredgray}{HTML}{b3b3b3} \newlength{\remaining} \newcommand{\problem}[1]{ #1\\ \setlength{\remaining}{\dimexpr \textheight - \pagetotal\relax} \def\offset{5} \def\size{0.5} \def\radius{10} \def\lineWidth{0.3} \pgfmathsetmacro{\coef}{0.0352778} \pgfmathsetmacro{\remainingMM}{(\remaining - \offset - 1)*\coef} \pgfmathtruncatemacro{\numberOfLines}{\remainingMM / \size} \noindent\begin{tikzpicture} \draw[rounded corners=\radius,checkeredgray,line width=\lineWidth mm] (0,0) -- (0,-\remaining + \offset) -- (\textwidth,-\remaining + \offset) -- (\textwidth,0) -- cycle; \foreach \i in {1,...,37}{ \draw[checkeredgray,line width=\lineWidth mm] (\i*\size,0) -- (\i*\size,-\remaining + \offset); } \pgfmathtruncatemacro{\numberOfLinesMinusOne}{\numberOfLines - 1} \foreach \i in {1,...,\numberOfLinesMinusOne}{ \draw[checkeredgray,line width=\lineWidth mm] (0,-\i*\size) -- (\textwidth,-\i*\size); } \pgfmathsetmacro{\lastY}{\numberOfLines * \size} \pgfmathsetmacro{\cornerLimit}{(\remaining - \offset - \radius)*\coef} \pgfmathsetmacro{\xStartLast}{\radius*\coef - sqrt((\radius*\coef)^2 - (\lastY - \cornerLimit)^2)} \pgfmathsetmacro{\xFinishLast}{\textwidthVal*\coef - \xStartLast} \pgfmathparse{\cornerLimit < \lastY} \ifnum\pgfmathresult=1 \draw[checkeredgray,line width=\lineWidth mm] (\xStartLast,-\lastY) -- (\xFinishLast,-\lastY); \else \draw[checkeredgray,line width=\lineWidth mm] (0,-\lastY) -- (\textwidth,-\lastY); \fi \end{tikzpicture} } \begin{document} \problem{\lipsum[1]\vspace{1.15cm}} \lipsum[2] \end{document} How do I fix the last line?

How do I use pgfplots to plot something like this? as you can see, this is the locus of the curve $x^2y+xy^2-x^4-y^4=0$. Here is an example which did work, where my work-around was to use a parametrisation of the curve. However, ideally I'm looking for a more direct solution. \documentclass[tikz, border=1cm]{standalone} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat=1.18} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ axis lines=none, ] \addplot[ domain=-1.20:1.20, samples=100, smooth, black, variable=t, ] ({t^2 - 1}, {t^3 - t}); \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I'm writing to ask if someone could help me figure out how to remove the word "continued" from the caption of a chart that appears below a long table, and also how to make the entire caption title appear in a larger font. It seems to be smaller than the font size set in the document (10pt). I know that the caption should normally be placed above the table, but I want to mimic an internal document format for automation purposes.

Is it possible to have the title and Section 1 the same height as Section 1.2.1?

When I put a tikzpicture inside a marginnote, the tikzpicture is shifted to the left (see B). Is there a way to put the tikzpicture inside the marginnote? What I really want is to put a tikz rectangle (with text) in marginnote. Using the center environment, the tikzpicture does go into the margin, however it's shifted down (see C). Is there a way to have the tikzpicture automatically appear at the same level as the text in the main body where the margin note is created? Thanks. \documentclass[a4paper, openany,oneside,chapterprefix, 12pt, parskip=full] {scrbook} \setlength{\textwidth}{5in} \setlength{\hoffset}{-0.25in} \setlength{\marginparwidth}{2in} \usepackage{showframe} \usepackage{marginnote} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} A.

For example, I want to create a simple matrix, \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 \\ 1 & -1 \end{bmatrix} But this looks a bit messy visually (especially for larger matrices), However, I want to align the 1s with the 1s, so I write \begin{bmatrix} -1 & \hphantom{-}1 \\ \hphantom{-}1 & -1 \end{bmatrix} This achieves the alignment and looks more visually pleasing. However, usually the matrices are a lot bigger than 2x2 and I find myself copying and pasting \hphantom{-} many many times. It works, but it is very messy. Is there a better way?

Where is the mistake or incompatibility? If I comment out tikzsetnextfilename everything works as expected. Consider the following setup (Windows machine, MikTeX installation): <project_directory> mwe.tex <-- the main document, see below fig/ <-- figures go here cs/ <-- some folder mwe_3d.tikz <-- tikz picture, see below external/ <-- tikz externalize should put the produced files here ... <-- mwe3d.log etc. are here ... <-- mwe.log etc. are here Contents of mwe.tex: \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat=newest} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{tikzscale} \usepackage{tikz-3dplot} \usepgfplotslibrary{external} \newcommand{\externaldirectory}{fig/external/} \tikzexternalize[prefix=\externaldirectory,optimize=false,shell escape=-enable-write18] \pgfmathsetmacro{\csxglob}{70} % these variables are reused in a lot of pictures \pgfmathsetmacro{\csyglob}{105} \pgfmathsetmacro{\cssamples}{54} \pgfmathsetmacro{\csradius}{4} \pgfmathsetmacro{\cstheta}{60} \pgfmathsetmacro{\csphi}{55} \begin{document} % in real document, this is in a float etc. \tikzsetnextfilename{mwe3d} % if this is commented out, mwe-figure0.pdf gets successfully produced \includegraphics[width=15cm] % in real document, this is \textwidth {fig/cs/mwe_3d.tikz} \end{document} Contents of mwe_3d.tikz: \tdplotsetmaincoords{\csxglob}{\csyglob} \begin{tikzpicture}[tdplot_main_coords] \coordinate (0) at (0,0,0); \tdplotsetcoord{P}{\csradius}{\cstheta}{\csphi} \node[right] at (P) {$P$}; \draw[thick,->] (0) -- (P); \draw[red] (-10:\csradius) arc (-10:100:\csradius); \end{tikzpicture} While the PDF output seems OK: the compiler throws error and does not produce an mwe3d.pdf within the external directory: <path_to_project>\fig\cs\mwe_3d.tikz:13: Package tikz Error: Sorry, the system call 'pdflatex -enable-write18 -halt-on-error -interaction=batchmode -jobname "fig/external/mwe3d" "\def\tikzexternalrealjob{mwe}\input{mwe}"' did NOT result in a usable output file 'fig/external/mwe3d' (expected one of .pdf:.jpg:.jpeg:.png:). 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?

I am trying to use siunitx to write tables. I am coming across two problems. Using Multirow like so: \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article} \usepackage{siunitx} \sisetup{separate-uncertainty=true, separate-uncertainty-units=single} \usepackage{threeparttable} \usepackage{booktabs} \usepackage{multirow} \begin{document} \begin{table}[h!] \begin{threeparttable} \caption{Mass balance of the three cycles of extraction.} \begin{tabular}{l l S[table-format=2.2+-2.2] S[table-format=2.2+-2.2] S[table-format=2.2+-2.2] S[table-format=2.2+-2.2] } \toprule \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{Fraction}} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{Cycle}} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{Mass}} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{Proteins}} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{Sugars}} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{Phenolics}} \\ \midrule \multirow{3}{*}{Solvent} & Cycle 0 & 2.07(5) & 0.15(1) & \multirow{3}{*}{--} & \multirow{3}{*}{--} \\ & Cycle 1 & 2.13(12) & 0.15(0) & & \\ & Cycle 2 & 2.00(8) & 0.15(1) & & \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{threeparttable} \end{table} \end{document} Generates the error: ! Use of \@@array doesn't match its definition. <argument> \let \reserved@d =[\def \reserved@a ! Use of \\multirow doesn't match its definition. <argument> ...d@d =[\def \reserved@a {\\multirow } If you say, e.g., `\def\a1{...}', then you must always put `1' after `\a', since control sequence names are made up of letters only. ! Illegal parameter number in definition of \l__siunitx_table_collect_tl. <to be read again> I tried to add the array package as noted in this previous question: Use of \@array doesn't match its definition, but to no avail. So to circumvent this, I modify the code by removing the multirow with the under the S type columns and manually put dashes in the middle row, but the spacing for the uncertainty is incorrect, like so: \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article} \usepackage{siunitx} \sisetup{separate-uncertainty=true, separate-uncertainty-units=single} \usepackage{threeparttable} \usepackage{booktabs} \usepackage{multirow} \begin{document} \begin{table}[h!] \begin{threeparttable} \caption{Mass balance of the three cycles of extraction.} \begin{tabular}{l l S[table-format=2.2+-2.2] S[table-format=2.2+-2.2] S[table-format=2.2+-2.2] S[table-format=2.2+-2.2] } \toprule \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{Fraction}} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{Cycle}} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{Mass}} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{Proteins}} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{Sugars}} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{Phenolics}} \\ \midrule \multirow{3}{*}{Solvent} & Cycle 0 & 2.07(5) & 0.15(1) & & \\ & Cycle 1 & 2.13(12) & 0.15(0) & {--} & {--} \\ & Cycle 2 & 2.00(8) & 0.15(1) & & \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{threeparttable} \end{table} \end{document}

I need advice with how best to do this. I'm using siunitx to typeset quantities and units in a standard way, but I do not know how to handle approximate quantities. Look at my sentence (complete with minimum working environment) here that involves an approximate value followed by units: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{siunitx} \begin{document} Aryl transmission peaks at \(\approx \SI{820}{\per\cm}\) are also present as expected. \end{document} This gives the following: Here, we see the math mode handling the space between the almost equal to sign and the numerical value (820), and then siunitx handling the spaces between the number (820) and the unit (per centimeter). Sometimes I see articles and books remove the space between things like ≈ and > and the numerical value (e.g., ≈820 cm^-1 or <820). What is the correct way to handle this according to the standards implemented by siunitx?

I am trying to install moresize.sty package into my CentOS Stream 9 machine. Unfortunately, when I run this command: sudo dnf install texlive-moresize I will get: Last metadata expiration check: 1:49:03 ago on Mon 30 Jun 2025 01:20:04 PM CEST. No match for argument: texlive-moresize Error: Unable to find a match: texlive-moresize Also, this command: dnf provides '*/moresize.sty' returns: Error: No matches found. If searching for a file, try specifying the full path or using a wildcard prefix ("*/") at the beginning. How do I solve this issue? Also, I performed a full texlive installation but the problem persists.

Can anyone tell me what package I should use in order to draw diagrams like this? Also, could you direct me to an instruction manual that explains how to draw such diagrams? I am currently using tikz-dependency package, with instructions by Daniele ?Pighin, but it only explains how to draw the bottom quarter of such diagrams. I need to be able to draw the upward arrows and the parts where the words are in bold font. Thanks!

The issue I have is with Arabic specifically and what happens when enabling kashida justification, sometimes a line is pushed outside the bounds of the cell like the MWE below. Why is this happening and how can I resolve it? \documentclass[10pt]{article} \usepackage{tabularray} \usepackage{ragged2e} \usepackage[english, provide=*, bidi=basic, layout=counters.tabular]{babel} \babelprovide[import, mapdigits, justification=kashida, transforms=kashida.base]{arabic} \babelprovide[import]{coptic} \babelprovide[import]{greek} \babelfont[arabic]{rm}{Scheherazade New} \babelfont[coptic]{rm}{Antinoou} \babelfont[greek]{rm}{Palatino Linotype} % To justify the arabic when it is right aligned by tabularray \RenewDocumentCommand\TblrAlignRight{}{\RaggedLeft} % ^^a0 is code for U+00A0, which I use to ensure no line breaks happen just before a separator \begin{document} \begin{tblr}{colspec={|X|X|X[r]|}} \begin{otherlanguage}{english} {Sing to the Lord a new song^^a0•︎ O people who love Christ;^^a0•︎ The Lord had compassion upon us^^a0•︎ and has given life to the world.} \end{otherlanguage} & \begin{otherlanguage}{coptic} {Ϩⲱⲥ ⲡⲟ︦ⲥ︦ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲥ ⲙ̀ⲃⲉⲣⲓ^^a0⳾ ⲱ ⲛⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲙ̀ⲙⲁⲓⲡⲭ︦ⲥ︦^^a0⳾ ϫⲉ ⲡⲟ︦ⲥ︦ ⲁϥϣⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲁⲣⲟⲛ^^a0⳾ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϯ ⲙ̀ⲡⲓⲱⲛϧ ⲙ̀ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ} \end{otherlanguage} & \begin{otherlanguage}{arabic} {سبِّحوا الربَّ تسبيحاً جديداً^^a0؞ أيها الشُعوب مُحبي المسيح^^a0؞ فالربُ ترأف علينا^^a0؞ وأعطى الحياةَ للعالم.} \end{otherlanguage} \\ \end{tblr} \end{document} UPDATE Here is the output following Javier's suggestion. It certainly has helped, although it looks like for some other lines, the line is shifted into the table further than before. In the below example, lines 3 and 4 in the Arabic have shifted left by a small amount. \documentclass[10pt]{article} \usepackage{tabularray} \usepackage{ragged2e} \usepackage[english, provide=*, bidi=basic, layout=counters.tabular]{babel} \babelprovide[import, mapdigits, justification=kashida, transforms=kashida.base]{arabic} \babelprovide[import]{coptic} \babelprovide[import]{greek} \babelfont[arabic]{rm}{Scheherazade New} \babelfont[coptic]{rm}{Antinoou} \babelfont[greek]{rm}{Palatino Linotype} % To justify the arabic when it is right aligned by tabularray \RenewDocumentCommand\TblrAlignRight{}{\RaggedLeft} \UseTblrLibrary{varwidth} \def\nbs{\char"00A0} \begin{document} \begin{tblr}{colspec={|X|X|X[r]|},measure=vbox} \begin{otherlanguage}{english} {Sing to the Lord a new song\nbs•︎ O people who love Christ;\nbs•︎ The Lord had compassion upon us\nbs•︎ and has given life to the world.} \end{otherlanguage} & \begin{otherlanguage}{coptic} {Ϩⲱⲥ ⲡⲟ︦ⲥ︦ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲥ ⲙ̀ⲃⲉⲣⲓ\nbs⳾ ⲱ ⲛⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲙ̀ⲙⲁⲓⲡⲭ︦ⲥ︦\nbs⳾ ϫⲉ ⲡⲟ︦ⲥ︦ ⲁϥϣⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲁⲣⲟⲛ\nbs⳾ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϯ ⲙ̀ⲡⲓⲱⲛϧ ⲙ̀ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ} \end{otherlanguage} & \par\vskip-\baselineskip\begin{otherlanguage}{arabic} {سبِّحوا الربَّ تسبيحاً جديداً\nbs؞ أيها الشُعوب مُحبي المسيح\nbs؞ فالربُ ترأف علينا\nbs؞ وأعطى الحياةَ للعالم.} \end{otherlanguage} \\ \end{tblr} \end{document}

I need to type the symbol for the intuitionistic relation of apartness that is different from inequality (\neq or \ne), as it can be seen in this paragraph below: I looked it up in lists of TeX symbols, but I couldn't find anything useful. # bears some resemblance, but it’s not what I’m looking for. Does anyone have an idea on how to get the symbol I need? Thank you in advance for your help.
