In Belarusian we have several language variants and two of them are supported with Babel and Polyglossia. But hyphenation rules are made for default variant only and so they are used by both variants. I have made a file with hyphenation patterns for the alternative spelling and I can use them putting them as hyph-be.tex in the project directory. I want to make them available to other users. But the problem is that I cannot understand how to add them. I see that Babel has babel-be.ini file that doesn't have any language variants but there is also babel-belarusian package that provides support for alternative spelling using \languageattribute{belarusian}{classic} and when I build my project I see that both files are used: (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/babel-belarusian/belarusian.ldf ... (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/babel/locale/be/babel-belarusian.tex So it seems for me that the right way to add them is: create a babel locale file, e.g. be-classic.ini set hyphenrules = be-classic in it How to ensure that Babel will use this new ini file instead of babel-belarusian? How to make them coexist?

I want to compile the greek.tex file in Brian Hamilton Kelly's Greek fonts: https://ctan.org/pkg/kelly-greek-font. The file is available here: https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/greek/kelly. This is a very old file (last updated 1992-09-27) and when one tries to compile it using pdflatex, one gets the message Entering LaTeX 2.09 COMPATIBILITY MODE. The file does not compile and we get the following error. ! Undefined control sequence. l.105 \@addfontinfo \@vpt{\def\pgr{\@prtct\gr@vpt}% How do I compile this file? I want to see the Greek glyphs in the font, and the package does not seem to provide a compiled pdf/djvu to preview. My primary motivation is that the Greek glyphs are based on Knuth's Greek glyphs, and other Greek fonts are generally based on other designs, such as Didot.

In the process of hopefully migrating some documents from pdflatex that use Computer Modern fonts (mostly Sans) to LuaLaTeX, I am looking at the different variants that have evolved since the original METAFONT Computer Modern family. The good news for me is that the differences seem to be smaller than it first appeared, both regarding glyphs and metrics. The most prominent difference in Latin Modern with “plain English characters” is that the dot on the lowercase letter “i” is a bit lower, at least in the Sans variants (except in ligatures like “fi” where the height of the dot matches the too of the “f”). Was that a conscious choice in Latin Modern? Or maybe already in an earlier variant which I could not find, yet? (Computer Modern Unicode and CM-Super seem to have the original height of the dot on the “i”.) CTAN does list various Computer Modern variants and there is also some info in its external references, but I was wondering if there is maybe additional historical info about the evolution of “Computer Modern” variants, maybe a TUGboat article about that or maybe that someone who was already somewhat involved at the time would still remember? Below some examples with sources and — to make sure — the font that was actually used from the console log, and some differences noticed in the example text. pdflatex / Computer Modern (the reference; same result with \usepackage{amsfonts}, as expected): % !TEX TS-program = pdflatex \documentclass{article} \renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault} \begin{document} Liegenstraße 95 in “larger” Wil… % </usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/amsfonts/cm/cmss10.pfb> \end{document} pdflatex / CM-Super: % !TEX TS-program = pdflatex \documentclass{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault} \begin{document} Liegenstraße 95 in “larger” Wil… % </usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/cm-super/sfss1000.pfb> \end{document} (Different “ß” and different spacing before “, rest same incl. “i”.)

LuaLaTeX / Latin Modern: % !TEX TS-program = lualatex \documentclass{article} \renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault} \begin{document} Liegenstraße 95 in “larger” Wil… % </usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmsans10-regular.otf> \end{document} Here the dot on the “i” is a bit lower. Also, the “a” has the same metric but is shifted a bit to the right. Also, more space inside “...”, and also denser ellipsis. Diff between LM and AMS OpenType (would be practically the same to pdflatex / Computer Modern, but wanted to stick to OpenType, into the future): The dot on the “i” is lowered and the “a” is shifted, otherwise letters just shifted a tiny little bit, but maybe that would be just a rendering artefact/limitation, at some point becomes the princess and the pea… But overall, seems like an “AMS to OpenType x Latin Modern” (as new font or maybe a virtual font on-the-fly) could already come close to the original pdflatex / Computer Modern look and feel for texts that could already be typset with the limitations regarding language support of pdflatex / Computer Modern.

Note: This question has been closed as off-topic on stackoverflow.com. I believe it's on-topic here under the [ipe] Tag. How can you draw a parabola in ipe? Usually, I use "Splines [I]" but it's not exactly convenient, as I need to construct four control points so that they correspond to a degree-elevated Bézier curve. Recently, I noticed the option "Ipelets > Goodies > Make parabolas". However, I am failing to guess the correct inputs. Here's what I tried: Make a line segment using "Lines and polylines [P]." Create a point using "Marks [M]." Select the line, press "Shift" and select the point. Go to "Ipelets > Goodies > Make parabolas." This fails with the following message. Neither in the manual, nor googling around have I found any further hints. Ideas?

I have some text above and below a table and I want all lines of text to have the same line spacing. The issue is that text outside the table has different spacing than text within the table. As you can see in the screenshot, the baseline of the text above and below the table is different. MWE to demonstrate the issue: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tabularx} \setlength\tabcolsep{0pt} \begin{document} Above table \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{l} \hline Inside table \\ \hline Inside table \\ \hline Inside table \\ \hline \end{tabularx} Below table \end{document}

I am writing a syntax paper where I use glosses with the expex package; however, I can't achieve the look I want. As in the first picture, I would like the gloss to align with the words, ignoring the subscripts.

MWE: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{anyfontsize} \usepackage[fontsize = 40]{fontsize} \begin{document} \centering \changefontsize{40} aaa \end{document} Notice how I am changing the font to the same size, yet the problem still happens. The large font size makes it easier to see that the line is off-center. Result: If I swap the order of \changefontsize and \centering or remove \changefontsize, the text will be correctly centered. Why is this?

I'm writing a PDF about 250 pages long, inside it there are about 300 images and about 180 subsections (this is just to give you an idea of the file size, but I don't know if they're helpful in resolving the issue.) I noticed this thing: when I compile it the first time without all the other files (.toc, .aut, .aux, etc...) the pdf file weighs 35.4 MB but the table of contents is not created; if I compile it a second time the index is created but the file size increases to 60.6 MB. How is it possible that there is a 70% increase in size just by compiling it a second time? Does it have to do with the table of contents/links created? Is there a way to reduce it? 60.6 MB seems exaggerated to me.

I have something like the following. \definefloat[figure:text][figure] [default=here, frame=on, offset=1em] \setupcaption[figure:text] [location={bottom, right}, width=0.4\textwidth, align={right}, spacebefore=halfline] \startdocument \startchapter[title={Test}] \input knuth \startplacefloat[figure:text] [title={Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.}, reference=fig:nonexisting] \externalfigure[figure][height=3cm, width=4cm] \stopplacefloat \input knuth \stopchapter \stopdocument that returns something like this I’d like the float’s width to always be \textwidth, regardless of the image’s width. I tried width and minwidth, but it doesn’t work. The result I expect would be something like this: UPDATE The idea is that, regardless of the width I choose for the image, the container should have a width of \textwidth (the container, not the image). In the following image, the red line only marks the edge of the image. Note that the image has a particular width, but the container spans the full width.

Currently I use arabtext (enter link description here). But now I'm facing the problem of create xy-pictures including arabic characters. In particular I'm wondering how to obtain the following pictures. The following code is my initial attempt: \documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside]{book} \usepackage{arabtex} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{figure}[] \centering \begin{tikzpicture} \node (a) at (3,3) {a}; \node (b) at (-1,-1) {\scalebox{5}{\fontsize{92pt}{32pt}\selectfont \textbf{< `>}}}; \draw [->] (b) -- (a); \end{tikzpicture} \caption{} \end{figure} \end{document} Unfortunately required arrows shall indicate the flow of the arabic characters drawing. I appreciate any suggestion or reference. Thanks in advance for your time.

I currently have a .dtx file containing the following three tags: <*doc-fr> ... </doc-fr> <*doc-en> ... </doc-en> <*package> ... </package> Running the .ins file (see below) then produces three files: a .sty file and two .tex files, each containing documentation in French and English. l3build is subsequently called to typeset the two .tex files with the appropriate build.lua configuration. I would like, however, to provide a commented (preferably, in both French and English) implementation in the two documents. As I'm not using a classic dtx structure with \DocInput, I'm not sure how I can achieve this. The obvious method would be to do it manually, i.e type the source code again by hand and comment it, but that would take a lot of time. I therefore wonder if I can still apply the usual method with the macrocode environment, where one writes: %<*driver> \documentclass{l3doc} \begin{document} \DocInput{intexgral.dtx} \end{document} %</driver> % Here is a documented macro % \begin{macrocode} \cs_new_protected:Npn \__example_macro:Nnn { ... } % \end{macrocode} Short example of the current structure of my project: %<*doc-fr> \documentclass{article} \begin{document} Documentation in French \section{Implémentation} > implementation here < \end{document} %</doc-fr> % %<*doc-en> \documentclass{article} \begin{document} Documentation in English \section{Implementation} > implementation here < \end{document} %</doc-en> % %<*package> \ProvidesExplPackage{...} %</package> .ins file: \generate{ \file{intexgral.sty}{\from{intexgral.dtx}{package}} \file{intexgral-en.tex}{\from{intexgral.dtx}{doc-en}} \file{intexgral-fr.tex}{\from{intexgral.dtx}{doc-fr}} } Thank you in advance for the help.

I'm using LaTex to write my physics bachelor thesis and I want it to look similar to one of my favourite undergraduate textbooks on physics: Griffith's Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, specifically the third edition of 2018. I've successfully mimicked the example/proof boxes and also the problem boxes using the tcolorbox package, but didn't manage to find out how to do the same chapter/section display and what font is being used. If anyone can help me on this I'd be extremely grateful! Here is one example page:

I've made a pretty set diagram! I'm not happy with how the colors are interacting on the set intersections, though. Because of the order the sets are built, each one is visibly 'above' or 'below' each other, breaking the symmetry of the figure. Of course, this behavior is expected. Can we make so that the colors interact additively instead? I know I can go intersection-by-intersection changing the colors to whatever I want, but this seems very inefficient and I wouldn't know how to manually combine the colors anyway... Here is the code. \documentclass[tikz,border=2mm]{standalone} \usetikzlibrary{calc} \tikzstyle{vertex}=[circle,fill=black,inner sep=2.2pt] \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1] \coordinate (A) at (18:{sqrt(5)}); \coordinate (B) at (90:{sqrt(5)}); \coordinate (C) at (162:{sqrt(5)}); \coordinate (D) at (234:{sqrt(5)}); \coordinate (E) at (306:{sqrt(5)}); \def\set{ellipse (2.618cm and 0.382cm)} \fill[magenta, opacity=.36] ($(A)!0.5!(C)$) \set; \fill[cyan, opacity=.36, rotate=72] ($(B)!0.5!(D)$) \set; \fill[yellow, opacity=.36, rotate=144] ($(C)!0.5!(E)$) \set; \fill[violet, opacity=.36, rotate=216] ($(D)!0.5!(A)$) \set; \fill[green, opacity=.36, rotate=288] ($(E)!0.5!(B)$) \set; \node[vertex] at (A) {}; \node[vertex] at (B) {}; \node[vertex] at (C) {}; \node[vertex] at (D) {}; \node[vertex] at (E) {}; \coordinate[vertex] (F) at ($(A)!0.382!(C)$); \coordinate[vertex] (G) at ($(B)!0.382!(D)$); \coordinate[vertex] (H) at ($(C)!0.382!(E)$); \coordinate[vertex] (I) at ($(D)!0.382!(A)$); \coordinate[vertex] (J) at ($(E)!0.382!(B)$); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I'm trying to make a template which uses wrapfigure (for wrapped text), marginnote, and lettrine. I've gotten all of the first 2 to play nice together, but the problem has started at lettrine. Basically, when I use lettrine and marginnote together then wrapfigure breaks and stops placing its text in the correct place. If I remove the marginnote then wrapfigure works with lettrine. The marginnote itself remains unaffected when I use lettrine, it just breaks wrapfigure. I've tried recreating the lettrine effect with wrapfigure only but ran into similar issues. I've made a minimum reproduction of this below, thank you in advance.

The first one is a keyword, the second one either a text explanation or a formula and the third one is a variable definition. The following is a minimal working example \documentclass[a4paper, twocolumn, landscape]{article} \usepackage[margin = 7mm, headsep=3mm, includehead]{geometry} \usepackage[fleqn]{amsmath} \usepackage{amsfonts, amssymb, mathtools} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{siunitx} \usepackage{braket} \newcommand{\dd}{\mathrm{d}} \newcommand{\pd}{\partial} \DeclareMathOperator{\ham}{\hat{H}} \DeclareMathOperator{\mom}{\hat{p}} \DeclarePairedDelimiter{\abs}{\lvert}{\rvert} \DeclarePairedDelimiter{\norm}{\lVert}{\rVert} \makeatletter \let\oldabs\abs \def\abs{\@ifstar{\oldabs}{\oldabs*}} % \let\oldnorm\norm \def\norm{\@ifstar{\oldnorm}{\oldnorm*}} \makeatother \usepackage{tabularx} \usepackage{booktabs} \usepackage{array} \usepackage{makecell} \newcommand{\mc}[1]{\makecell{#1}} \renewcommand{\cellalign}{tl} \newcolumntype{L}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{0.2\linewidth}} \newcolumntype{F}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash \abovedisplayskip=0pt \belowdisplayskip=0pt \abovedisplayshortskip=0pt \belowdisplayshortskip=0pt \mathindent=0pt \partopsep=0pt \topsep=0pt}p{0.5\linewidth}} \newcolumntype{E}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}X} \newenvironment{formtab}[1][1.2] { \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{#1} \fontsize{8}{8}\selectfont \tabularx{\linewidth}{@{} L F E @{}} } { \endtabularx } \begin{document} \subsubsection{Wavefunction - Discrete} \begin{formtab} discrete basis & set of discrete states $\{ \Psi_n \}$ with $\braket{\Psi_n | \Psi_m} = \delta_{nm}$ & \\ arbitrary state & \[ \ket{\Psi} = \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n \ket{\Psi_n}, \quad a_n = \braket{\Psi_n | \Psi} \] & \\ probability & $P_\Psi(n) = \abs{a_n}^2 = \abs{\braket{\Psi_n | \Psi}}^2$ & \\ normalization & $\braket{\Psi | \Psi} = 1$ \end{formtab} \end{document} The table now looks like this I want the display style formula to sit flush with the top of the cell though. I have tried using $\displaystyle a^2+b^2=c^2$. This causes the keyword to be centered with the formula. Using \vspace(-.5cm) works partially but that would require me to manually find the correction which is not sensible if the entire document is made up of formulas. Do you have any ideas how this could be achieved?

I am trying to draw a complete graph $K_5$ with 5 edges with different colors and the vertices are not big filled circles? I found this here A complete graph on 5 vertices with coloured edges but I do not know how to have 5 edges with different colors and the vertices are not big filled circles, just small filled circles. Any hints will be greatly appreciated. I also do not want this one here How to draw the following graph in latex? , I want the edges themselves to be of different colors not shaded by different colors.

How does the following MWE need to be modified to only visualize the decorated path but not the remaining path and draw the top right-hand corner not rounded? \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing} \usetikzlibrary{patterns} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \path[draw,pattern=north west lines] decorate[decoration={random steps,segment length=1,amplitude=.2},rounded corners=.2] {(-1,0) -- (0,0) -- (1,0)} -- (1,-.25) -- (-1,-.25) -- cycle; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Thanks in advance!

I have the following code to create a tikzpicture of a labelling algorithm. However, I am currently not satisfied with the way it looks right now. Every looks to big and to much spread out. How can I create a more condense but still clear version of it. For (1); the vertical space between the boxes should be smaller. (2) the box height should be decreased and (3) the text inside the box should be more condense. The font size could be decreased as well.

In LuaLaTeX, is it possible to use babel (or anything else) to simulate some language-related OpenType features not defined in the font? I give an example of what I mean: Writing in ecclesiastical latin requires to put an acute accent on some vowels. On my Italian keyboard I've only the character é, thus typing á, í, ó, ú is quite inefficient. I would like to tell LaTeX that, inside an ecclesiasticallatin environment, whenever I type à, ì, ò, ù, it must be rendered as á, í, ó, ú. Thanks in advance.
