Outgoing from the question Dropping separator at line break in an inline list I want to achieve two/three more things. Line breaks should (if possible) only be placed between items The list should have a left and right margin (maybe it is easier to not use an inline list?) The list should be centered The list should be startet at a new line and end with a line break (Done, but I guess (2.) solves this automatically.

Consider the following example, in which I wish to define a command that draws a bold dot over a symbol (ideally, the first optional argument adjusts horizontal position, and the second adjusts vertical position). However, I cannot seem to get \raisebox work: no matter what length value I put in, the dot always remains at the current position. May I ask where have I done wrong, and how to fix it? \documentclass{article} \usepackage{mathtools} \begin{document} \NewDocumentCommand \dotted { O{0mu} O{-.1em} m } { \smash{\overset{\raisebox{#2}{\scalebox{.5}{$\mspace{#1}\bullet$}}}{#3}} } \( \dotted[5mu]{M} \) \end{document}

I am using xassoccnt.sty for coupling counters for equations and exe environment from gb4e.sty. However, it emits a warning (no error) because of using calc earlier. This screws up the submission system process when I have to submit a raw LaTeX file. Is it possible to hack xassoccnt and suppress this warning? silence didn't help here.

In this sample, one would have expected a hyphen at the end of the third line, निरोधम-भिमुखं. Of course, this is a question of conventions, and perhaps the current transformation was made with a convention in mind that hyphenates without actually using hyphens, such as was done in most manuscripts. In modern typesetting however I would expect hyphens to be used. Perhaps it is just a bug?

I am trying to reproduce a manuscript as “photographically” as possible. Sometimes words have been added after a first draft, above a line, centered in between two words. To get this, I used a \makebox with the width of \space and centered content, and within that box, I placed a \raisebox to place the added content vertically. It seemed to do the job just fine until I noticed that the length \space (or " ") which I wanted the box to have gives that box a fixed length (and after all you would indeed expect that in a box), whereas I would like the interword spacing to have the flexibility it has elsewhere, and just obtain a box in the middle of that flexible space. I first thought of a fix that would simply involve putting a half normal space on both sides of a box without width, but I find no such command seems to exist! (\, does not do that). Any ideas?

I'm translating Kazakh problems for the Art of Problem Solving forum, and I faced an obstacle with this problem: It translates like: Aigerim and Batyrkhan play the following game. There is a board of size $2\times2024$ (2 rows and 2024 columns). They take turns, with Aigerim moving first. On her move, Aigerim places a horizontal domino on the board $\boxed{\phantom{a}}\boxed{\phantom{a}}$, covering exactly two squares. On his move, Batyrkhan places a vertical domino on the board $\begin{aligned} \fbox{\rule{0pt}{1.2em}\hspace{1.2em}}[0em] \fbox{\rule{0pt}{1.2em}\hspace{1.2em}} \end{aligned}$, also covering exactly two squares. A player who cannot make a move loses. (Dominoes may be placed only on empty squares.) Who wins if both players play optimally? and I don't know how to do the vertical domino without separation between the squares. AoPS doesn't support features like tikzpicture, so I need to come up with a different method.

When using tcolorbox within multicols, it prematurely breaks columns, resulting in unexpected large blank spaces (as shown in the image), and the paragraph spacing between body text becomes excessively stretched.

I try to generate some colored box with predefined text which contain line breaks. I want to have the box width at a minimum width, meaning the longest line should be taken and wrapped. I've tried different approaches (e.g varwidth) but I didn't find a solution which is compatible with PDF-tagging.

I am typesetting a play in LaTeX. I would like all the lines to be numbered but of course the stage directions etc. should be excluded from the line numbers. In MS Word, this is easily by telling word to exclude some lines from the numbering, it then looks like this: Is there a way to acheive this in LaTeX too? My preferred way would be to tell the document to have line numbers everywhere except: in lines where there are stage directions (maybe this can be done by some command?) in lines that consist only of headings (i.e. scene numbering etc.). The numbers should only start after the actual play starts, not yet in the Dramatis Personae. Thanks in advance for any help!

I would like to have multiple equations with numbering inside the table, which should look something like this: I do not need borders, only \toprule, \midrule, and \bottomrule

I would like to add caption to my equation, how could I do that? \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \begin{equation} E = mc^2 \label{eq:emc} \end{equation} \ref{eq:emc} \end{document}

I have the following code, I would like to number the subcases with 1a, 1b, so not just one big case with (1). \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{equation} f(x) = \begin{cases} x^2& x \ge 0,\\ -x & x < 0. \end{cases} \end{equation} \end{document}

For a class of mine, I'm in the process to switch from ntheorem to keytheorems but, for compatibility reason, I would like to make the output of “theorems” as identical as possible.

I'm trying to read a simple csv into a datatool database and then populate a table with this data. The persistent error is reported as "Package datatool error: Database 'gradesDB doesn't exist' in the TeXworks console output. I'm using the current TeXworks 2025 full/complete installation. The csv was encoded as uft-8. This csv file is named data.csv (NOTE: In the preview of this post this file appears in a single row format. It is actually written as a 4 row x 3 column form with the first three rows terminated by CRLF) Name,Surname,Grade Albert,Einstein,147 Marie,Curie,159 Thomas,Edison,179 I've consulted online AI and version 3.4.3 2025-12-04 of The Datatool Bundle: Databases and Data Manipulation from Dickimaw Books for documentation. This package is new to me and I have a feeling is there is a simple error I'm not catching. I greatly appreciate any help you might offer.

Here are two different bits of code that difer by exactly one letter: Number 1: \documentclass{amsart} \usepackage[all]{xy} \begin{document} \begin{displaymath} \xymatrix{ { \begin{tabular}{c|c} \hline $x_2$ & 7 \\ \hline $x_3$ & 4 \\ \hline \end{tabular} } \ar@(ul,dl)[]_{\pi^0} } \end{displaymath} \end{document} Number 2: \documentclass{amsart} \usepackage[all]{xy} \begin{document} \begin{displaymath} \xymatrix{ { \begin{tabular}{c|c} \hline $x_2$ & 7 \\ \hline $x_3$ & 4 \\ \hline \end{tabular} } \ar@(l,dl)[]_{\pi^0} } \end{displaymath} \end{document} The difference is that in number 2, the arrow is modified with @(l,dl) while in number 1 it is modified with @(ul,dl) Number 1 doesn't compile. Number 2 does but looks ugly. I'd like Number 1 to compile and look better than Number 2 in the way it should. Since I know it will come up: no, I'm not willing to switch to tikz. Yes, I know tikz is better. But I know the syntax for xypic and have been using it for sneaking up on twenty years and I just turned 40 and am thus officially allowed to be a stick in the mud about things.

This MWE: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \MakeLowercase{\lipsum[1][1]} \end{document} generates: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

I know that I can make circular diagrams with the nice smartdiagram package, but arrows do not fit perfectly in a imaginary circle. In fact, the diagram is far from a circle when there are only two or three nodes: \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{smartdiagram} \begin{document} \smartdiagramset{ connection color=red, module shape= circle, circular distance=2cm, uniform color list=white for 6 items, uniform arrow color=true, arrow color=black} \smartdiagram[circular diagram:clockwise]{foo, bar} \end{document} I know also that there are several examples in this site about making circular diagrams without this package, but translating these examples to diagrams with a different numbers of nodes is complex, so I tried an automated solution with tikz (without really knowing what I was doing, I have to admit) so that I only have to modify a list of nodes in \mylist and little more to obtain the result: \documentclass[border=2mm]{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[ > = Stealth, every node/.style = {circle, draw, thick, minimum width=1cm, align=center} ] \def\mylist{foo, bar, baz} % play with this \foreach \x [count=\i from 1] in \mylist {\xdef\n{\i}} \def\radio{2cm} % and this if needed \foreach \texto [count=\i from 0] in \mylist{ \pgfmathsetmacro\ang{-\i*360/\n} \node (n\i) at (\ang:\radio) {\texto}; } \foreach \dummy [count=\i from 0] in \mylist{ \pgfmathsetmacro\j{int(mod(\i+1,\n))} \pgfmathsetmacro\angini{-\i*360/\n} \pgfmathsetmacro\angfin{-\j*360/\n} \pgfmathsetmacro\outang{mod(\angini - 90 + 720, 360)} \pgfmathsetmacro\inang {mod(\angfin + 90 + 720, 360)} \draw[->, thick, line width=1.4pt] (n\i) to[out=\outang, in=\inang, looseness=.9] (n\j); % and with the looseness } \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Mainly it works. The problem is that like in smartdiagram, the arrows don't perfectly follow an imaginary circle, that was the idea behind getting involved in this business. Playing with looseness is possible to correct a bit the curvature of the arrows, but it's tedious and the result is never perfect. So, the result should be ideally near to the image below (that I modified manually in Inkscape) and still require minimal settings to adapt the code to diagrams of n nodes. Fixes of the MWE as well as alternative approaches are welcome. Edit Thank you all for the excellent suggestions. This time, I am truly sorry I can only accept one.
