This example is a bit ugly and I tried to remove as much as possible from it. The line below \setuptexts [header][text] [chapternumber][pagenumber][pagenumber][chapternumber] sets the inner margin side of the header to show the chapternumber which is a lowercase romannumeral. Using \setupheader[text][leftstyle=\sc], its style can be changed; but how can text be added to it? Such as "Ch. " || chapternumber || ".". As soon as text is added to chapternumber in \setuptexts it becomes text also rather than a keyword. Thank you. For example, I'd like the II to be Ch. II or Ch.

I'm trying to create a worksheet-like template, and I run into some issues with the grid. Really big space pops up, and I don't know how to get rid of it. I'm using tikz.

Similar to the challenges with long tables described here, I also struggle with wide tables consisting of several columns, as they tend to run out of the screen. Is there a way to fix the width of a table to the screen size and automatically reduce the text size accordingly? While \adjustbox, for example, is working for fitting graphics to the screen size, it does not work for tables in my case. I also tried \resizebox, but was unable to find a working solution there either. Is there a solution to avoid the table running out of the screen other than statically (e.g. with \footnotesize) reducing the text size?

I have an old XeLaTeX document that relies on the XeTeX interchartoks with the predefined classes 0 for latin, and 1, 2, and 3 for CJK, and 255 as boundary. I updated that to the new(ish) boundary class 4096, but kept getting errors that my latin font didn't support any Japanese characters, suggesting that transitions from {0} to {1,2,3} didn't kick in. Writing a small test, it looks like classes 1, 2, and 3 are no longer prespecified, even though the XeTeX manual says they are, so... do I need to manually define a new class 1 through 3, or is there some command in addition to \XeTeXinterchartokenstate = 1 that I need to issue to make sure classes 1 through 3 are predefined? \documentclass{book} \usepackage{fontspec} \newfontfamily{\mainfont}{Palatino Linotype} \newfontfamily{\cjkfont}{Kozuka Mincho Pro} \XeTeXinterchartokenstate = 1 % explicitly mark a single Japanese kana as a custom class: \XeTeXcharclass `\ほ 999 % but assume classes 1, 2, and 3 are still predefined CJK: \XeTeXinterchartoks 1 0 = {\mainfont} \XeTeXinterchartoks 2 0 = {\mainfont} \XeTeXinterchartoks 3 0 = {\mainfont} \XeTeXinterchartoks 999 0 = {\mainfont} \XeTeXinterchartoks 4095 0 = {\mainfont} \XeTeXinterchartoks 0 1 = {\cjkfont} \XeTeXinterchartoks 0 2 = {\cjkfont} \XeTeXinterchartoks 0 3 = {\cjkfont} \XeTeXinterchartoks 0 999 = {\cjkfont} \XeTeXinterchartoks 4095 1 = {\cjkfont} \XeTeXinterchartoks 4095 2 = {\cjkfont} \XeTeXinterchartoks 4095 3 = {\cjkfont} \XeTeXinterchartoks 4095 999 = {\cjkfont} \begin{document} \mainfont Test 1: に Test 2: ほ \end{document} This results in: Which shows the first line seemingly ignoring the transition from class 0 to class 1, but the second line with the explicit class rule for ほ working just fine.

From time to time I search if there is a practical/eficient way to create maps, similar to the next ones, even with a terrain texture or even contour level. Are there any tikz library appropiate for this purpose? Images from https://rpgmapsforge.com/

pdflatex Problem: need old-style numerals in main text Solution: \RequirePackage[osf]{newtxtext} Works fine in main text, but not in math mode. Problem: need old-style numerals also in math mode Solution: \DeclareMathSymbol{0}{\mathord}{letters}{`0} Works fine. Problem: need raised decimal point Solution: RequirePackage{decimal} Works fine as long as all numerals with a decimal point are in math mode, which is clear must be the case. That is not really relevant for the next problem, but it means that more numerals must be in math mode (unless I want 123$.$456 and so on). Problem: In text smaller or larger than normalsize, numerals are somewhat larger and bolder. Solution: Put all numerals in math mode if text is not normalsize. Remark: I noticed the problem since my tables are footnotesize. There, it's easy to get all numbers in math mode automatically, and it's only a minor problem that the numerals look a bit larger and bolder than they should. Problem: The user should not have to worry about whether the text is normalsize. Numbers in tables can be handled automatically. However, in an actual footnote numerals will differ in appearance whether or not they are in math mode. Ditto for text in any other size larger or smaller than normalsize. Note that the problem is NOT that the numerals are not scaling in math mode with the text. They are, whether the text is larger or smaller than normalsize. But they are always slightly larger and bolder than they should be (but not as large as the next larger size, nor as bold as boldfaceseries). Remark: I would be willing to switch to LuaLaTeX if I have to change little or nothing else. (I'll presumably have to use another font-selection mechanism and another font, but presumably there is a font similar to newtxtxt and newtxmath.) In particular, the raised decimal point via the decimal package should still work (or there must be an easy alternative), and of course I still want old-style numerals not just in the main text but also in math mode. %class file \ProvidesClass{test}[2026/01/03] \LoadClass[8pt,twoside]{extarticle} \RequirePackage[T1]{fontenc} \RequirePackage[osf]{newtxtext} \RequirePackage{newtxmath} \RequirePackage{extsizes} \RequirePackage{fontsize} \changefontsize[10.2pt]{8.6pt} \DeclareMathSymbol{0}{\mathord}{letters}{`0} \DeclareMathSymbol{1}{\mathord}{letters}{`1} \DeclareMathSymbol{2}{\mathord}{letters}{`2} \DeclareMathSymbol{3}{\mathord}{letters}{`3} \DeclareMathSymbol{4}{\mathord}{letters}{`4} \DeclareMathSymbol{5}{\mathord}{letters}{`5} \DeclareMathSymbol{6}{\mathord}{letters}{`6} \DeclareMathSymbol{7}{\mathord}{letters}{`7} \DeclareMathSymbol{8}{\mathord}{letters}{`8} \DeclareMathSymbol{9}{\mathord}{letters}{`9} %user file \documentclass{test} \begin{document} \noindent Now is the time. 0123.456\\ Now is the time. $0123.456$ \noindent \tiny Now is the time. 0123.456\\ Now is the time. $0123.456$ \scriptsize \noindent Now is the time. 0123.456\\ Now is the time. $0123.456$ \footnotesize \noindent Now is the time. 0123.456\\ Now is the time. $0123.456$ \small \noindent Now is the time. 0123.456\\ Now is the time. $0123.456$ \normalsize \noindent Now is the time. 0123.456\\ Now is the time. $0123.456$ \large \noindent Now is the time. 0123.456\\ Now is the time. $0123.456$ \Large \noindent Now is the time. 0123.456\\ Now is the time. $0123.456$ \LARGE \noindent Now is the time. 0123.456\\ Now is the time. $0123.456$ \huge \noindent Now is the time. 0123.456\\ Now is the time. $0123.456$ \Huge \noindent Now is the time. 0123.456\\ Now is the time. $0123.456$ \end{document} \ProvidesFile{decimal.sty}[2011/06/03 v1.1 Package`decimal.sty'] \let\peri@d\. \def\.{\ifmmode\mbox{.}\else\expandafter\peri@d\fi} \DeclareMathSymbol{\cd@t}{\mathord}{symbols}{"01} \mathcode`\.="8000 {\catcode`\.=\active% \gdef.{\cd@t} } \endinput %% %% End of file `decimal.sty'.

I need a styled muxdemux like this. I asked myself: is it possible to get some annotations with path picture here (as a style addition)?

I'm trying to place a certain text inside a rectangle on several pages using TikZ (for more context, please see this question). The Text is obtained from a python script called from within a nested while loop. The script is called with a parameter given by the loop iteration number. The text is stored on a variable for later use once the nested loop is completed. Here is the code of the while loops: \newdimen\loremwidth \makeatletter \newcount\j \newcount\i \newcount\k \j=1 \i=1 \k=1 \newdimen\loremwidth \@whilenum \i<10\do{% \@whilenum \j<151 \do {% \lorem={\input{|python3 lorem/loremipsum.py --dolor Lorem --sit \the\j\space --amet 1}}% \setbox0=\hbox{\tiny \the\lorem}% \loremwidth=\wd0% \ifdim\loremwidth < 355 pt% \ifnum \c@loremcounter = 1\relax% \loremA={Lorem \the\j.1 - \the\lorem}% Here the \loremA is defined. \stepcounter{loremcounter}% \else% \ifnum\c@loremcounter=2\relax% \loremB={Lorem \the\j.1 - \the\lorem}% Here the \loremB is defined. \setcounter{loremcounter}{1}% \k=\j% \j=151% Breaks the nested loop \fi% \fi% \fi% \advance\j by 1\relax% }% \j=\k% next time the nested loop begins at the same value it was broken previously \the\loremA% Here \loremA is different from what it supposed to be, because of the value of \j \the\loremB% \loremB is exactly the same as \loremA because \j hasn't changed. \advance\j by 1\relax \advance\i by 1\relax% }% \makeatother The output of the python script is simply a text with no formatting chosen by a number between 1 and 150 and output simply by: print(lorem, flush=True) The problem is that the \loremA and \loremB are evaluated based on the value of \j at the point of use. The question is, how can I store the raw contents from this python script, in order to remove this dependency to \j? So far I have tried the following approaches: \newcommand \gdef\lorem{...} \edef \newtoks \immediate\write18 However, I haven't been able to get rid of the dependency of \j (I know there is a better name for this, but I don't know it. Sorry for my ignorance). Any suggestions?

I'm trying to create a table of contents for my book (that I'm making using the book class) like the one used in "Single Variable Calculus" by James Stewart, using the titletoc package. Below is a screenshot of the TOC in question: So far, I have successfully implemented the different font sizes and styles for each entry in the table of contents, as well as page number positioning. However, my book also includes a preface, which is implemented as an unnumbered chapter in the front matter. If you take a look at the image I posted above, you will notice that there is much less vertical space between the preface and the other two unnumbered chapters at the beginning of the book ("To the Students" and "Diagnostic Tests") than there is between the numbered chapters ("the unnumbered chapter entries are closer together"). Unfortunately, the code I am using does not allow me to set different horizontal spacing for unnumbered chapters — all chapters are spaced the same way vertically, globally. Here's a MWE with the code I'm using for setting up my TOC... \documentclass{book} \usepackage{titletoc} \titlecontents{chapter} [0em] {\bigskip}% global formatting {\sffamily\thecontentslabel\quad\enspace\MakeUppercase}% numbered chapters {\normalfont}% unnumbered chapters {\quad\contentspage}[\hrule\smallskip] \titlecontents{section} [1.8em] {\smallskip\normalsize}% global formatting {{\sffamily\bfseries\thecontentslabel}\quad\enspace}% numbered sections {}% unnumbered sections {\quad\contentspage} \begin{document} \frontmatter \tableofcontents \chapter{Preface} \chapter{To the student} \mainmatter \chapter{Test chapter} \section{A section} \section{Another section} \section{Yet another section} \end{document} ...and here's the result: Can you help me make the unnumbered chapter entries look like the ones in the TOC of Stewart's Book? EDIT: also, I wish the hrule not to be present under the unnumbered chapters.

Since the pgfornament package is PGF/TikZ (and it appears from the pgfornament site that there is a version that uses Lua), is it possible to use the package in ConTeXt somehow? I've used it by adding the images by number only and primarily the vectorian group. If one needs to draw something original and new, I suppose one should use MetaPost? Thank you. EDIT: What I mean is can the images (which I assume are instruction files not actual images; but I'm not sure) from this package be used directly in ConTeXt? With the package, all one has to do is \pgfornament[height=1.5cm]{70}, where 70 identifies the ornament, to get a Can the package be added with \usemodule in order to reference these by simple number, as opposed to learning how to create them (if that's even legal)? Thank you.

This is related to another question that I recently asked, but it deserves a separate question. MWE: \documentclass[draft]{article} %% compile only with lualatex \directlua{ % Uncomment next line to see effect: % luatexbase.add_to_callback('hpack_quality', function() texio.write_nl('BOOHOO') end, 'boo_hoo') } \setlength\textwidth{50mm} \begin{document} zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz \end{document} Without the callback, the black overfull rule (black rectangle) appears. With the callback, the rectangle disappears. So it seems that instead of adding to the existing callback, add_to_callback replaces it! In the luatex manual 9.5.10, I see that hpack_quality allows the code to "return a node, for instance an overfull rule indicator." That sounds promising. But how can I do that? The manual does not say how I might describe that node. To put that another way, the node is un-knowed.

I am trying to make the arrow symbol ($\rightarrow$) from the notomath font bold, but I run into an issue. When I use the \contour{black}{$\rightarrow$} command to apply boldness, it works, but the arrow becomes rounded around the edges, which I don't want. Is there a way to keep the arrow bold while avoiding the rounded edges? I'm currently using the following code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[sfdefault]{notomath} \usepackage[outline]{contour} \contourlength{0.02em} \begin{document} $\rightarrow$ \contour{black}{$\rightarrow$} \end{document} With pdflatex:

I use the notation $CX$ for the cone on $X$, and the notation $C^\circ X$ for the open cone (cone without its base). I'm finding that $CX$ always looks natural, but the spacing between $C^\circ$ and $X$ is often ugly -- sometimes there's too much space and sometimes there's not enough. The problem occurs the same way in display mode and in ordinary math mode. I tried making $C^\circ$ an operator, and putting it inside an \mbox, and various combinations of braces, with no effect. How can I make LaTeX solve the spacing problem for $C^\circ X$ the same way it solves the spacing problem for $CX$?

I tried using an environment for formatting my NMR data in LaTeX. Since the entries were old and didn't work properly, I tried updating them. See old references here: Chemmacros: Adjusting the properties of the coupling constant J Chemmacros: Font of coupling constant J How to reproduce typesetting of coupling constant in chemmacros Chemmacros: Font of coupling constant J Is there a better way to do this, since I am new to LaTeX? I still have the problem of an error appearing that says "must be inside math mode." I still didn't changed the fonts, since I also dont get if there is a reason for the scale of 0.83{beramono}. Edit: the distance between the coupling number #1 and the coupling constant J is somehow still too large. Edit 2: I forgot to ask how to change the sign of the position number from - to — (en dash) Thank you alot!

I would like to give two case-based equations and have them aligned. I've tried several different ways of doing it and always end up with something like this: \begin{equation}\begin{aligned} A & = \left\{\begin{matrix} bb \, , & q=0 \\ c \, , & q\ge1 \end{matrix}\right. \\ D & = \left\{\begin{matrix} ee \, , & q=0 \\ f \, , & q=1 \\ gggggg \, , & q\ge2 \end{matrix}\right. \end{aligned}\end{equation} The issue is that I want to have the bracket outside the matrix, so it can fit the size of the separate cases, and I also want to have the conditions aligned with one another, but I cannot do this unless they are not separated into two matrices for the brackets. I also need to have the expressions on the left side of the cases centered properly. Also, I would like to have the different cases to be left-aligned How can I have all three - the centered expressions on the left with properly-sized brackets, the aligned conditions, and the left-aligned cases?

The unicode-math package re-defines ellipsis to be the ellipsis character in whatever font you're using, instead of spaced dots. This looks bad in my opinion, and violates the guidance on ellipses in every style guide I own. A solution for \ldots is provided here: variations-in-ldots. But that solution does not fix \cdots, \vdots, or \ddots. I managed to find a solution for \cdots that works in this MWE, but seems to fail in other instances that I haven't figured out a reliable way to reproduce. And I can't figure out a solution for \vdots or \ddots at all. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{unicode-math} \AtBeginDocument{ % From https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/120627/variations-in-ldots \renewcommand\mathellipsis{\mathinner{\ldotp\ldotp\ldotp}} \renewcommand\cdots{\mathinner{\cdotp\cdotp\cdotp}} % sometimes works %\renewcommand\vdots{\mathinner{\vdotp\vdotp\vdotp}} % doesn't work %\renewcommand\ddots{\mathinner{\ddotp\ddotp\ddotp}} % doesn't work } \begin{document} $\dots, \ldots, \cdots, \vdots, \ddots$ \end{document} Found an example of where my solution for \cdots didn't work. It's when \dots is used instead of \cdots explicitly to centrally place dots: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{unicode-math} \AtBeginDocument{ \renewcommand\mathellipsis{\mathinner{\ldotp\ldotp\ldotp}} \renewcommand\cdots{\mathinner{\cdotp\cdotp\cdotp}} % sometimes works } \begin{document} $x+\dots+ y$ % Do not get spaced dots $x+\cdots+ y$ % Do get spaced dots \end{document}
