What package I have to use if I want to get French text in superscript? I want to write "57ème croche sur 92" with the term "ème" in superscript.

I use countwords to count the number of words in some LaTeX documents. The package counts words into a standard LaTeX counter. I then use totcount to display this wordcount at the beginning of the document. The number is generally in the thousands. Totcount provides a single macro \total{<counter>} for printing the eventual value of a counter, but it doesn't do any intelligent formatting, like dividing thousands with a comma/space (and fair enough -- very few situations call for counters in the thousands!). I would like to print the eventual value of the counter at the beginning of the document in a nicely formatted way. How can I do this? Based on other discussions of formatting counters, I have tried using numprint and siunitx, but neither of these work -- MWEs below. TIA! Failure #1 numprint \documentclass{article} \title{Foobar} % For counting words \usepackage{countwords} \newcounter{words} \setcounter{words}{0} % For printing final value \usepackage{totcount} \regtotcounter{words} % For dummy text \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{numprint} \begin{document} \maketitle % Prints `1112' (no comma) \total{words} % `Should' print `1,112', but gives an error. \numprint{\total{words}} \countwordsstart{words} \lipsum[1-12] \countwordsstop{words} \end{document} I get an error: ./test.tex:27: Package numprint Error: Invalid characters `\def ' in mandatory argument of (numprint) \numprint.

A fix for the "well worn" warning about the redefinition of \label in revtex 4-1 and 4-2 has been posted. Is is possible to have this implemented in the distribution? Conflict revtex4-2 class and nameref package Yes, it a warning but it is annoying. thank you.

I'm wondering why columns in tabular seem to not add space but \hline does. Is there a way to make it so that everything overlaps? \documentclass{article} \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \setlength{\parskip}{0pt} \setlength{\tabcolsep}{0pt} \begin{document} Line\\ Line \vspace*{-2\baselineskip} \begin{tabular}{|l|} \hline Line\\ \hline Line\\ \hline \end{tabular}%\par\prevdepth=\dp\strutbox \vspace*{-2\baselineskip} Line\\ Line \end{document} EDIT: Thank you to all who answered. Using David Carlisle's comment, I now have the below: \documentclass{article} \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \setlength{\parskip}{0pt} \setlength{\tabcolsep}{0pt} \setlength{\lineskip}{0pt} \begin{document} \def\newhline{% \noalign{\kern-.5\arrayrulewidth}\hline\noalign{\kern-.5\arrayrulewidth}% } Line\\ Line \vspace*{-2\baselineskip} \begin{tabular}[t]{|l|} \newhline % <- causing problems Line\\ \newhline Line\\ \newhline \end{tabular}\par\prevdepth=\dp\strutbox % for overlap \vspace*{-2\baselineskip} Line\\ Line \end{document} Seems the top \newhline prevents everything from lining up.

I am a beginner LaTeX user who's utilizing the conference booklet template (found here) for a document, but I've run into a problem when having a chapter title be too long. Leaving it in a single line messes up its placement (and even makes it go through the end of the page if the title is long enough). I cannot seem to manage to get a line break there. Putting a \\ in the middle of \chapter{Long \\ title} gives me a 'somethin's wrong, perhaps a missing \item' error message, whereas \linebreak and \newline in its place both do nothing at all. Here are some screenshots to showcase what I mean: vs What I'm ideally looking for is to be able to break the chapter title into two lines and having the colored bar be thicker enough to compensate for it, but at this point I'd also be happy if I can just introduce any line break at all and just have the text aligned properly (to the side of the bar). Apologies if the solution is right there in my face or I've not provided sufficient information. Any help is appreciated!

Using knitr in LyX provides a very convenient way of dynamic (and reproducible) report generation. It works well for me except for preview of the knitr and \Sexpr{} chunks. I wrapped my \Sexpr{} with a preview box, but it didn't generate or insert a preview. Of course, knitr requires a preceding run (evaluation) with R to resolve R code into text, but I don't see a reason why the preview shouldn't work.

I want to draw the graph of z = x^2 + y^2, and I am using tikz for that. I used the following command: \begin{tikzpicture}[ x={(1cm,0cm)}, y={(-0.6cm,-0.35cm)}, z={(0cm,1cm)}, line join=round, line cap=round, scale=1, ] % Axes \draw[->] (0,0,0) -- (2,0,0); \draw[->] (0,0,0) -- (0,2.5,0); \draw[->] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,4); % Graph \draw[thick,smooth,variable=\t,domain=-1.8:1.8] plot ({\t},{0},{\t*\t}); % Circle that gives a 3d impression \draw[thick,smooth,variable=\t,domain=0:360] plot ({1.8*sin(\t)},{1.8*cos(\t)},{3.24}); \end{tikzpicture} However, the circle does not "fit" the graph: How can I adjust this?

I've gone through several threads on this forum, as well as videos by Javier Bezos, and these samples, but as the title says I'm unable to get Hindi text to work within a mostly English Beamer presentation, using Babel. Polyglossia works for me: \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{polyglossia} \setdefaultlanguage{english} \setotherlanguage{hindi} \newfontfamily\devanagarifontsf[Script=Devanagari]{Noto Sans Devanagari} \begin{document} \title{\texthindi{नमस्ते}} \author{Lorem Ipsum} \begin{frame} \titlepage \end{frame} \end{document} However, I want to switch from Polyglossia to Babel because compilation is taking too long with Polyglossia for a large presentation. But I'm unable to find a snippet that works. For e.g.: \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage[english]{babel} \babelprovide[import, onchar=ids fonts]{hindi} \babelfont[devanagari]{sf}{Noto Sans Devanagari} \begin{document} \title{नमस्ते} \author{Lorem Ipsum} \begin{frame} \titlepage \end{frame} \end{document} When I compile this snippet with lualatex, I get this error: [1 Missing character: There is no न (U+0928) in font [lmsans12-regular]:+tlig;! {/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map} Missing character: There is no म (U+092E) in font [lmsans12-regular]:+tlig;!

I am aware for creating historical documents, the DVI format is still in use. And there is still tex4ht, as far as I know the only way to convert latex to HTML offered in TeXlive, but, apart from this, is there any use case for the DVI format? Maybe another package relying on it. I ask because i maintain a kind of build tool (very roughly comparable with latexmk) and ask myself on the details of supporting the dvi format.

I'm having trouble understanding Asymptote's (3.11) light rendering. When I run this code below: import three; size(8cm); currentprojection = orthographic((5,4,2), up=Y); currentlight = light(new pen[]{white}, new triple[]{(1,1,1)}); draw(unitcube, surfacepen=material(cyan)); real L = 2; draw(O--L*X, Arrow3); draw(O--L*Y, Arrow3); draw(O--L*Z, Arrow3); label("$x$", L*X, E); label("$y$", L*Y, N); label("$z$", L*Z, Z); I expected it to light up the whole cube (from my viewpoint; I understand the backside might not be lit). However, I instead got this: The left side of the cube is completely dark, which does not make sense considering the unit cube should essentially be lit with the placement of the light. However, changing the perspective to (5, 4, -2) yields this: The side that's pitch black here is the side that was initially lit in the first image. Considering there was no change to the light's position, I did not expect this to happen. I experimented with the emissive argument, however that is not what I wish to do. How does the lighting actually work in asymptote, and how do I fully illuminate all three sides of the cube, using the initial orthographic projection?

I've been working with google AI on this for 2 hrs. It can't figure a solution. One time it gave me 100 lines javascript code to fix this. Then it gave 50 lines .css code which made the date vanish. Here is MWE \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{latexml} \begin{document} \title{my book} \author{me} \date{\today} \maketitle \tableofcontents \section{first section} text \end{document} latexml always adds () around the date for some reason: How to tell it not to do that? commands used >latexml --dest=A.xml A.tex >latexmlpost --format=html5 --dest=A.htm A.xml

I am trying to make the next complex citation with suffixes and prefixes: Shabica, 1970, 1971, Baird et al., 1985a; Baird & Sroka, 1990, their figure 5, p. C12-C13; Baird, 1997a, c, his figure 5A.4, p. 40) I know that in this case, we have to use \cite[prefix={}, suffix={}]{\reference}, but here there is another suffix at the end. I tried a lot of combinations using the previous command, but none of them worked.

Is there a way to improve my solution? Thank you in advance.

Using latexml (LaTeXML version 0.8.8) I am not able to compile an existing latex document which has listings inside tabular. I asked google AI but it does not know why.

In the file where I load the packages for my book, I noticed that introducing \usepackage{mleftright} \mleftright changes the shape of the delimiters when I use mtpro2 Lite. I no longer remember why I added the \mleftright command. I also checked that, if I remove \mleftright but keep \usepackage{mleftright} nothing changes. Moreover, I expected the "new" curly braces to appear only when I use \ccases (the version with the braces that I prefer), while the standard cases environment should still use the default mtpro2 delimiters. However, in the last example I still get the new braces even though I am using cases rather than \ccases. Could you explain why this happens? \documentclass{book} \usepackage{mathtools} \usepackage{newtxtext} \usepackage[lite]{mtpro2} \usepackage{mleftright} \mleftright \begin{document} Il sistema associato ad $R$ è il seguente: \begin{equation}\label{rotassz} \ccases{\begin{aligned} x&=x'\cos \psi -y'\sin \psi \\ y&=x'\sin \psi +y'\cos \psi \\ z&=z' \end{aligned}} \end{equation} \begin{equation}\label{sisto1} \ccases{\begin{aligned} x_1&=a_{11}x'_1+a_{12}x'_2+a_{13}x'_3+a_{14}x'_4\\ x_2&=a_{21}x'_1+a_{22}x'_2+a_{23}x'_3+a_{24}x'_4\\ x_3&=a_{31}x'_1+a_{32}x'_2+a_{33}x'_3+a_{34}x'_4\\ x_4&=a_{41}x'_1+a_{42}x'_2+a_{43}x'_3+a_{44}x'_4 \end{aligned} } \end{equation} \[ \delta_{jk}= \begin{cases} 0 & \text{per $j\ne k$} \\ 1 & \text{per $j=k$} \end{cases} \] \end{document} Without \mleftright command:

Turning on LaTeX3’s experimental Tagged PDF support with the newpx fonts sometimes causes spacing between characters to be incorrect, especially when there are digits next to commas. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a workaround? The LaTex3 Project’s tagging status page lists newpx as compatible with tagging. The problem disappears if either tagging is turned off or if a different typeface (e.g. Computer Modern) is used. I am using TeXLive 2026 with pdftex. Minimal example: \DocumentMetadata{tagging=on} \documentclass{article} \usepackage{newpx} \listfiles \begin{document} \((1,2)_3\) \begin{tabular}{cccc} \((1,2)_3\) \\ \(J\) & \((1,2)_3\) \end{tabular} \end{document} Further technical info (output with \listfiles): This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.29 (TeX Live 2026/Debian) (preloaded format=pdflatex) restricted \write18 enabled. entering extended mode (./example.tex LaTeX2e <2025-11-01> L3 programming layer <2026-05-15> (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/documentmetadata-support.ltx (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/pdfmanagement/pdfmanagement-testphase. sty (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/tagpdf/tagpdf-base.sty) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/pdfmanagement/pdfmanagement.ltx))) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/l3backend/l3backend-pdftex.def) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/pdfmanagement/l3backend-testphase-pdft ex.def) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-latest.s ty (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/tagpdf/tagpdf.sty (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/tagpdf/tagpdf-mc-code-generic.sty)) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-names.st y) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-new-or-2 .sty (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-footnotes.ltx )) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-block.st y (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-kernel-changes.sty (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/glyphtounicode-cmex.tex)) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-context. sty)) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-sec.sty) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-toc.sty ) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-minipage .sty (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-new-or-1 .sty)) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-graphic. sty) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-float.st y) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-bib.sty) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-text.sty ) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-marginpa r.sty) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-title.st y) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-table.st y (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/tools/array.sty)) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-math.sty (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-math.ltx) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-mathpkg.ltx) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-mathintent.ltx)) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-firstaid .sty) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/latex-lab/latex-lab-testphase-tikz.sty )) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/pdfmanagement/pdfmanagement-firstaid.s ty) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/article.cls Document Class: article 2025/01/22 v1.4n Standard LaTeX document class (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/size10.clo)) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/newpx/newpx.sty `newpx'v1.551, 2025/10/30 Integrated loading of newpxmath and a text font for all latex engines (msharpe) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/fontenc.sty) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/fontaxes/fontaxes.sty (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/figureversions/figureversions.sty)) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/ifthen.sty) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/iftex/iftex.sty) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/etoolbox/etoolbox.sty) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/carlisle/scalefnt.sty) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/trimspaces/trimspaces.sty) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/kvoptions/kvoptions.sty (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/graphics/keyval.sty) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/ltxcmds/ltxcmds.sty) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/kvsetkeys/kvsetkeys.sty)) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/xstring/xstring.sty (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/xstring/xstring.tex)) IV (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/newpx/newpxmath.sty `newpxmath' v1.551, 2025/10/30 Math macros based on pxfonts (msharpe) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsmath/amsmath.sty For additional information on amsmath, use the `?' option.

I noticed that when I try to type unicode-math "⦦", the angle symbol is smaller than "∠" and "∟". Is there a way to draw another angle symbol that is outwardly slanted and the same size as "∠" and "∟"? \documentclass{article} \usepackage{unicode-math} \setmathfont{NewCMMath-Regular.otf} \begin{document} $∠∟⦦$ \end{document}

For certain tagged documents I need the following: Periods after numbers both in numbered headings and in ToC entries. Centered single-line chapter titles, no extraneous vertical space. No extraneous vertical space between chapters in List of Tables / Figures. The word “Part” / “Chapter” / “Appendix” in ToC lines for part and chapter. Up until the June 2026 release of LaTeX, I achieved the above by modifying bits copied from book.cls: \def\numberline#1{\hb@xt@\@tempdima{#1.\hfil}} %% Add period after numbers in ToC \def\@chapter[#1]#2{ ... 4 lines unchanged code ... \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\@chapapp\space\thechapter.\hspace{1em}#1}% %% Custom ToC ... 7 lines unchanged code ... %%\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\addvspace{10\p@}}% %% No extra blank lines in LoF %%\addtocontents{lot}{\protect\addvspace{10\p@}}% %% No extra blank lines in LoT ... 6 lines unchanged code ... } \def\@makechapterhead#1{% %%\vspace*{50\p@}% %% Eliminate vertical space {\parindent \z@ \centering \normalfont %% Centered ... 2 lines unchanged code ... \huge\bfseries \@chapapp\space \thechapter. %% Add period after number %%\par\nobreak\vskip 20\p@ %% Eliminate newline and vertical space ... 4 lines unchanged code ... %%\vskip 40\p@ %% Eliminate vertical space }} %% Similarly modified versions of \@makeschapterhead, \@part, \@spart In the presence of \DocumentMetadata (the PDF needs to be tagged), the LaTeX June 2026 release uses the template mechanism for sectioning commands. The old fragile approach shown above no longer works. I can now achieve my first three goals by editing appropriate key-value pairs as in the following MWE: \DocumentMetadata{lang=en-us,tagging=on} \documentclass[oneside]{book} \makeatletter \def\numberline#1{\hb@xt@\@tempdima{#1.\hfil}} \EditInstance{heading}{chapter} { , after-penalty-vspace = 0pt , after-vspace = \baselineskip , prefix = \@chapapp , number-format = \thechapter. , heading-decls = \centering \parindent0pt \bfseries \Huge , contents-extra = } \EditInstance{heading}{part} { , number-format = \thepart. , heading-decls = \centering\bfseries\Huge } \DeclareInstanceCopy{headformat}{part}{std} \DeclareInstanceCopy{headformat}{chapter}{std} \makeatother \begin{document} \tableofcontents \mainmatter \part{My part} \chapter{My chapter} \section{My section} \appendix \chapter{My appendix} \end{document} Kudos to the developers for providing this more convenient and robust approach! As for the ToC lines for part and chapter, is there a key-value pair that controls how \addcontentsline gets called?, or how should I control those lines? I currently have the output but want the following output: My current (totally fragile) “solution” is to modify a copy of \__head_handle_marks_etc: \cs_set:Npn \__head_handle_marks_etc:nnnnn #1#2#3#4#5 { ... 23 lines of unchanged code ... \str_case:VnF{\l__head_name_tl} { {part}{\partname\space\thepart.\space} %% Custom ToC for Part {chapter}{\@chapapp\space\thechapter.\space} %% Custom ToC for Chapter } {\protect\numberline{ \use:c{ the \l__head_name_tl } } } %% Original code is fallback for Sections etc ... 8 lines of unchanged code ... } Is there a better way?

I have the following \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb} \usepackage{geometry} \usepackage{lipsum} \geometry{margin=2cm} \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.25} \newsavebox{\leftbox} \begin{document} \begin{lrbox}{\leftbox} \begin{minipage}[t]{0.33\textwidth} \textbf{Given:}\hspace{2.5cm}\textbf{SI:} \vspace{2mm} \begin{tabular}{@{}l|l@{}} $m_1=120$ g & $0.12$ kg\\ $m_2=50$ g & $0.05$ kg\\ $c_1=4200\ \dfrac{\text{J}}{\text{kg}\cdot^\circ\text{C}}$ &\\ $c_2=920\ \dfrac{\text{J}}{\text{kg}\cdot^\circ\text{C}}$ &\\ $R=2\ \Omega$ &\\ $U=5$ V &\\ $\Delta t=12^\circ\text{C}$ &\\ $\eta=20\%$ &\\ \hline \multicolumn{2}{@{}l@{}}{\textbf{Find:}}\\ \multicolumn{2}{@{}l@{}}{$U-?$} \end{tabular} \end{minipage} \end{lrbox} \noindent \usebox{\leftbox} \hfill \begin{minipage}[t][\dimexpr\ht\leftbox+\dp\leftbox\relax][t]{0.64\textwidth} \textbf{Solution:} \vspace{2mm} \lipsum[1] \vfill \end{minipage} \lipsum[1-2] \end{document} which gives me this However I would like to write text in the right minipage as a continuous text without the need to break it (now it is causing problems with overlapping). I also would like to automatically left align the word 'SI' with the letters below it. It obviously comes from the fact that neither 'SI' or 'Given' are in the table, but that's on purpose - I need 'Given', 'SI' and 'Solution' to be on the same level vertically. How do I do that?

I have a complicated environment that scans for presence of tokens and "patches" them by adding some tokens before. I implemented this using macros with arguments delimited by the tokens I want to patch. Once the patching is done, I'd like to respect the token stream as much as possible (i.e. make it as close to the original as possible). However, whenever the text between the delimiters is exactly of the form "{ text }", the braces are sadly removed. I'd like to find a way to avoid this behavior. I had a look here but I'm afraid this will change the token stream too much, so I'm wondering if there is a simpler fix. Edit: Better MWE based on David's reply. Goal: Implement such a patch command so that the token stream after \patch is as close as possible (identical?) to the original one. \documentclass{article} \def\Z{Z} % Does not work with first def of \A \def\patch\A#1\Z{patched:\A#1\Z} % Does not work with second def of \A \def\patch\A#1{\xpatch\A{{#1}}} \def\xpatch\A#1\Z{patched:\A#1\Z} \begin{document} First def of A :\def\A#1{(A #1)} \A{arg} \Z \patch\A{arg} \Z \A{arg}\Z \patch\A{arg}\Z Second def of A:\def\A[#1]{(A #1)} \A[arg] \Z \patch\A[arg] \Z \A[arg]\Z \patch\A[arg]\Z \end{document} Output (first def of \A) (A arg) Z patched:(A arg) Z (A arg)Z patched:(A a)rgZ Thanks a lot for your help!

I have the following code partly comes from here: \documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]{standalone} \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta,bending,nfold} \makeatletter \tikzset{ shrink/.style={thick,shorten >=5pt,shorten <=5pt}, offset/.code= \tikz@addoption{% \pgfgetpath\tikz@temp \pgfsetpath\pgfutil@empty \pgfoffsetpath\tikz@temp{#1}% }, foo/.tip={Straight Barb[harpoon,length=5pt]}, foo'/.tip={Straight Barb[harpoon,swap,length=5pt]}, dualharpoon/.style={ draw=none, postaction={path only,draw,foo'-,shrink,offset=+#1ex}, postaction={path only,draw,-foo',shrink,offset=-#1ex}, }, dualharpoon/.default=1, dualharpoon'/.style={ draw=none, postaction={path only,draw,-foo,shrink,offset=+#1ex}, postaction={path only,draw,foo-,shrink,offset=-#1ex}, }, dualharpoon'/.default=1, relarrow/.style={ dualharpoon,orange,thick,#1 }, relarrow'/.style={ dualharpoon',orange,thick,#1 }, } \makeatother %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \node[fill=cyan,circle] (A) at (-2,-1) {A}; \node[fill=magenta,circle] (B) at (2,-1) {B}; \node[fill=cyan,circle] (C) at (-2,1) {C}; \node[fill=magenta,circle] (D) at (2,1) {D}; \draw[relarrow=teal] (A) -- (B); \draw[relarrow'] (C) -- (D); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} which declare two arrow style, relarrow and relarrow': However, I did the similar things twice here! Which I was not quite comfortable with dupliacted syntax: foo/.tip={Straight Barb[harpoon,length=5pt]}, foo'/.tip={Straight Barb[harpoon,swap,length=5pt]}, dualharpoon/.style={ draw=none, postaction={path only,draw,foo'-,shrink,offset=+#1ex}, postaction={path only,draw,-foo',shrink,offset=-#1ex}, }, dualharpoon/.default=1, dualharpoon'/.style={ draw=none, postaction={path only,draw,-foo,shrink,offset=+#1ex}, postaction={path only,draw,foo-,shrink,offset=-#1ex}, }, dualharpoon'/.default=1, relarrow/.style={ dualharpoon,orange,thick,#1 }, relarrow'/.style={ dualharpoon',orange,thick,#1 }, I wonder I could simplify the code to define the '-version in a reverse dualharpoon direction?

Consider the code: \documentclass[12pt]{book} \usepackage{tikz,xcolor} \usetikzlibrary{decorations.text} % Spaceout Algorithm \def\theLetterSpace{0.5pt} \def\theWordSpace{1.5\LocalLetterSpace} \newlength\LocalLetterSpace \newcommand\spaceout[2][\theLetterSpace]{% \setlength\LocalLetterSpace{#1}\expandafter\spaceouthelpA#2 \relax\relax} \def\spaceouthelpA#1 #2\relax{% \spaceouthelpB#1\relax\relax% \ifx\relax#2\else\ \kern\theWordSpace\spaceouthelpA#2\relax\fi } \def\spaceouthelpB#1#2\relax{% #1% \ifx\relax#2\else \kern\LocalLetterSpace\spaceouthelpB#2\relax% \fi } \begin{document} \thispagestyle{empty} Here is some text. \vspace{10pt} {\spaceout[2pt]{Here is some "spaced out" text.}} \vspace{65pt} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[-latex,white,postaction={decorate},decoration={text along path, text={I WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE SPACING BETWEEN THESE ARCHED LETTERS},text color={blue!85!black},text align=center}] (7,0) arc [start angle=180,end angle=0,radius=8]; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} which produces: The above "spaceout" algorithm (if I recall correctly) cf. Steven B. Segeletes. As you can see, I have encountered no difficulty in applying the algorithm to a regular sentence. However, I have not been apply to apply it correctly to the arched words above. QUESTION: How may I, using this algorithm or by some other method, increase the spacing between the displayed arched letters? I compile the code with xelatex. Thank you.

I am trying to get a matrix with an overbrace and sidebrace which looks like the following; I tried the following code so far, \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{epsfig} \usepackage{amssymb} %\usepackage[dvips]{color} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amsthm} \[ \begin{array}{ccc} \overbrace{\text{Col 1}}^{\text{Label A}} & %\overbrace{\text{Col 2 \quad Col 3}}^{\text{Label B}} & %\overbrace{\text{Col 4}}^{\text{Label C}} \\ \begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33} \end{bmatrix} \end{array} \] \end{document} But it is not giving the desired output. Kindly help.

I'm trying to make a worksheet where students need to fill out parts of a long division statement. I usually use the longdivision package, but realized that I can't cover up parts of it for students to fill out. Any suggestions? I've attached an image for reference.
