I am submitting an article written in LaTeX (document class elsarticle) to an Elsevier journal. For journal abbreviations in the bibliography, I have been using jabbrv.sty, together with the lists of abbreviations in jabbrv-ltwa-en.ldf and jabbrv-ltwa-all.ldf. However, Elsevier’s online system for building a PDF from LaTeX source files only allows for certain file types, not including .ldf files. What is the simplest workaround for this problem?

I am plotting a family of parabolas in TikZ, and there is a stray parabola. I'm confused. \documentclass[tikz,border=1cm]{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \pgfmathsetmacro{\SIGMALstart}{-3} \pgfmathsetmacro{\SIGMALstop}{3} \pgfmathsetmacro{\SIGMALsamples}{50} \pgfmathsetmacro{\SIGMALstep}{(\SIGMALstop-\SIGMALstart)/(\SIGMALsamples-1)} \foreach \SIGMAL[parse=true] in {\SIGMALstart,\SIGMALstart+\SIGMALstep,...,\SIGMALstop} { \draw[ variable=\TAUL, domain=-3:3 ] plot ( {\SIGMAL*\TAUL}, {((\TAUL)^2-(\SIGMAL)^2)/2} ); } \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I want the following simple layout with enumitem: Blah blah noindent I. Foo II. Bar blah blah long line paragraph wrapping continues here III. Baz Blah blah noindent non-enumerate text Labels are right aligned, \labelsep can be fixed (e.g. 0.5em), and text continues from the same horizonal position on the next line in the case of a longer paragraph (I think this means \itemsep should be zero). enumitem apparently has the capacity to calculate the width of the widest label and set \labelwidth accordingly, though I can't determine under what circumstances that happens after reading the documentation. I can set widest=<whatever> to achieve the output I want, but I'd like to know if I can achieve the same by setting one or more parameters to ! or *, i.e. computing the parameters automatically. MWE and output are below, basically I just want the widest label (maybe VI or III or IV) label to be left-aligned with the left edge of the VVVVV (the left edge of the text area), everything else the same. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{enumitem} \begin{document} \begin{enumerate}[label=\Roman*.,nosep,align=right, leftmargin=*, labelindent=0pt, labelsep=0.5em, itemsep=0pt, % widest=VI, % I don't want to use this! ] \item Alpha. \item Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Etiam lobortis facilisis sem. Nullam nec mi et neque pharetra sollicitudin. \item Gamma \item Delta \item Epsilon \item Zeta \end{enumerate} VVVVV \end{document}

I am preparing the schedule for a conference and using a time counter controlled by the macro \Next. By default, \Next advances the time by 15 minutes, but it can also accept an optional argument to specify a different increment. The definition of \Next is not perfect; a full discussion appears in this question. However, for convenience, I am using the version shown below. My preamble is: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{calc} \def\kntime{45} \def\pttime{35} \def\qatime{5} \def\kntottime{\kntime+\qatime} \def\pttottime{\pttime+\qatime} % % \newcounter{hour} \newcounter{minute} \newcounter{flag} \newcommand{\Time}[2]{% \setcounter{flag}{0}% \setcounter{hour}{#1}% \setcounter{minute}{#2}% } \newcommand*{\Next}[1][15]{% \addtocounter{minute}{#1}% \ifnum\value{minute}>59% \stepcounter{hour}% \addtocounter{minute}{-60}% \fi% \ifnum\value{hour}>11% \stepcounter{flag}% \ifnum\value{hour}>12 \addtocounter{hour}{-12}% \fi \fi% % \ifnum\value{hour}<10 0\fi% \thehour% :% \ifnum\value{minute}<10 0\fi\theminute% \ifnum\value{flag}<1\ am\fi% \ifnum\value{flag}>0\ pm\fi% } % \newcounter{tsession} \renewcommand{\thetsession}{\Roman{tsession}} \newcommand{\tsession}{% \stepcounter{tsession}% Technical Session -- \thetsession% } I would like to display the total runtime of each session in the table header (masthead). Specifically, I want a macro \endtsession{\thetsession} that can be used as follows: \begin{document} \Time{8}{10} \begin{tabular}{ll} \multicolumn{2}{c}{\tsession: \Next[0] -- \value{\endsession{\thetsession}}}\\\hline \Next[\kntime] & Keynote Speaker\\ \Next[\qatime] & Q\&A\\ \Next[\pttime] & Plenary Speaker\\ \Next[\qatime] & Q\&A\\ \Next[0] & Speaker 1\\ \Next\endsession{\thetsession} & Speaker 2 \end{tabular} \end{document} The macro \endtsession should return the final time of the session in the same format produced by \Next. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I get two Missing character: There is no ; (U+003B) in font nullfont! warnings when I compile the below code with LuaLaTeX. I don't see any line numbers for the warnings in the .log file. I don't see any visual problem with the output though. \documentclass{article} \usepackage[newcmbb]{fontsetup} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat=1.18} \usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings} \usetikzlibrary {arrows.meta,bending} \newcommand{\e}{\symrm{e}} \begin{document} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \begin{tikzpicture}[line cap=round] \begin{axis}[ samples=200, domain=0.24:4.5, xmin=0, xmax=5, ymin=-4.4, ymax=0.5, axis lines=middle, ticks=none, width=0.5\textwidth, xlabel={$r$}, ylabel={$V(r)$}, x axis line style={thick, -{>[bend]}}, y axis line style={thick, {<[bend]}-{>[bend]}}, y label style={anchor=south}, x label style={anchor=west}, legend style={ draw=none, at={(axis cs:2,-1.8)}, anchor=north west, row sep=10pt } ] \addplot[thick, red] {-exp(-x)/(x)}; \addplot[thick, blue, dashed] {-1/(x)}; \addlegendentry{$\displaystyle\frac{-\e^{-r}}{r}$}; \addlegendentry{$\displaystyle\frac{-1}{r}$}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{figure} \end{document} I saw another question with the same warning but there was a \tikz command in it which was causing issues. There is not \tikz command in my code. And I can't seem to find any stray semi-colons in the TikZ code either.

This is probably a long shot, but I have the following problem: when a bibliographical reference appears within parentheses, my supervisor would like the inner parentheses to be changed to square brackets, like this: Der Titel lautet Geschichte des Abramo (cf. R. Penna, ”Abramo“, RS 3 [1997]: 15–31 [hier 10]). Here is my example file: \documentclass{scrbook} \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[autostyle=true,german=quotes]{csquotes} \usepackage[style=sbl,citepages=separate,backend=biber,sblfootnotes=false,ibidpage=true,ibidtracker=true,idemtracker=true,pagetracker=spread,sorting=nyvt,url=false,isbn=false,doi=false,clearlang=false,uniquename=false]{biblatex} \usepackage{filecontents} \begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib} @article{Penna.R, author = {Penna, R.}, gender = {sm}, date = {1997}, title = {Abramo}, pages = {15–31}, volume = {3}, keywords = {sekundaer}, journaltitle = {RS}, } \end{filecontents*} \addbibresource{\jobname.bib} \begin{document} Abramo schrieb ein Buch.\footnote{Der Titel lautet Geschichte des Abramo (cf. \cite[10]{Penna.R}).} \printbibliography \end{document}

I would like to generate a document that merges two documents: the first one states the theory, and the second one presents examples. Both documents have exactly the same structure: the chapters, sections, and subsections are identical. However, the lengths of these structural elements differ. The merged document should show the theoretical part on the even pages and the examples on the odd pages. And of course, despite the difference in length between the chapters, sections, etc., their titles must appear at the same height on the page. I have no MWE to show (and I tried to follow question 354456, but unsuccesfully). What I want to achieve is completely beyond my skills. Note that the “two documents” do not exist yet, so nothing needs to be imported from an existing source. In addition, I am using the following template (class memoir): https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/matnat-compendium/xbfgbfgzpcxz

This is somehow a continuation of Usage of the `\lastskip` as a flag and \intextsep gives doubled space The code snippet below produces the following fragment of the vertical list: ...\glue 12.0 plus 2.0 minus 2.0 <-- \intextsep added by the figure environment ...\glue 0.0 plus -1.0 ...\glue -16371.99998 plus 2.0 minus 2.0 ...\glue 16383.99998 <-- \maxdimen added by \myfancybreak ...\penalty 10000 I want to move \glue 16383.99998 AFTER \penalty 10000 so that it will be accessible in \lastskip after the figure environment and thus accessible by \addvspace in \myfancybreak.

So how do I avoid pagebreak between sectioning commands and the new defined \paragraph ?

General overview The titlesec package provide commandes to tweek the rendering of paragraphs and subparagraph. I use it to get a rendering like this one: As you see, the \paragraphs should be in bold and in wrap mode, when \subparagraphs should be in inline mode, emphasis, and ended by a point. What I did This is my MWE: \documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside,french]{article} \RequirePackage{fontspec} \RequirePackage{xunicode} \RequirePackage{fontenc} \usepackage{titlesec} % Tweek of \paragraph \titleformat{\paragraph}[wrap]{\centering\bfseries\normalsize\small}{}{0em}{} \titlespacing*{\paragraph}{0.3\textwidth}{3.25ex plus1ex minus.2ex}{0.75em}%} % Tweek of \subparagraph \titleformat{\subparagraph}[runin]{\em\normalsize}{}{1em}{}[.] \begin{document} \paragraph{An undesired gap appear…} \subparagraph{…When a \texttt{\textbackslash{}subparagraph} immediatly followed the \texttt{\textbackslash{}paragraph}} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. \end{document} And this is the related rendering: The problem As you see in the red frame in the rendering, when a \paragraph is immediatly followed by a \subparagraph then the wrap mode is broken. A line break appear after the paragraph and the subparagraph start in a new line. The \subparagraph doesn’t behave just like other regular text. The question How to make \paragraphs just get the desired wrap rendering even if they are followed by a \subparagrah?

I am trying to generate PDF/UA-2 compliant PDFs, and so far most of what I tried works with the last updates to the tagging support (thanks!). But with this file: \DocumentMetadata{lang=en,tagging=on,pdfstandard={UA-2}} \documentclass{article} \usepackage{newtxmath} \title{.} \begin{document} \maketitle \[\Bigg|\] \end{document} compiled with LuaLaTeX, verapdf tells me that the produced PDF is not valid because of a font issue, namely: The glyph can not be mapped to Unicode The Font dictionary of all fonts shall define the map of all used character codes to Unicode values, either via a ToUnicode entry, or other mechanisms as defined in ISO 14289-2, 8.4.5.8 I am assuming "the glyph" is the stretched vertical bar, and that the issue is with missing info from the math font loaded by newtxmath. What can I do, given that I would really like to keep newtxmath? Teach LuaLaTeX about the Unicode equivalent to that glyph (and others)? Use stretchable characters from another font? (but how?) Put the info in the font? (but how?)

I am trying, for the purposes of a reusable library, to create dynamic class names in tabularray. Here is my minimal code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tabularray} \usepackage{xcolor} \date{} \newcounter{stylectr} \setcounter{stylectr}{1} % compiles, but non-dynamic \newcommand{\style}{\SetChild{id=Idstylei}\stepcounter{stylectr}} %% does not work %% command to expand the argument before the \SetChild (see https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/133768/430417) %\def\expandArg #1#2{\expandafter\expandArgaux\expandafter{#2}{#1}} %\def\expandArgaux #1#2{#2{#1}} %\newcommand{\style}{\expandArg{\SetChild}{id=Idstyle\roman{stylectr}}\stepcounter{stylectr}} \begin{document} \begin{table} \SetTblrOuter{expand=\style} \begin{tblr} { colspec=lll, cell{Idstylei} = {red9} } \style 1 & \style 2 & 3\\ \end{tblr} \end{table} \end{document} My goal is that, every time I call \style, the cell is given the id Idstyle{ctr} where {ctr} is a roman number (or anything that will yield a valid tblr id name). For instance, in the above code, only the first cell should have red background. I have tried several related solutions (1 2) but none seems to be working, or at least none that I can make to work. Edit: weird behaviour from tabularray, if I try to use the line \newcommand{\style}{\SetChild{id=Idstyle\roman{stylectr}}\stepcounter{stylectr}}, the code compiles but does not work (no cell has id Idstylei or even Idstyle), and an extra comma , appears left of the table. Does anyone knows where this comma is coming from?

MWE \documentclass{article} \usepackage{mathtools} \begin{document} Le signe $(-1)^{i+j}$ suit un motif en damier : \( \begin{bsmallmatrix} + & - & + & - & \cdots \\ - & + & - & + & \cdots \\ + & - & + & - & \cdots \\ - & + & - & + & \cdots \\ \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \ddots \end{bsmallmatrix} \) \end{document} Questions There appears to be some horizontal empty space around the matrix.

The author list is long and also the affiliation. All affiliations do not fit on one page. However, the wiley-article class seems to typeset the entire title block (authors + affiliations) inside a single unbreakable box, so the affiliations cannot continue onto the next page. Is there a way to break the affiliation list across pages. \ or \clearpage or loading authblk doesn't solve the problem.

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \node[fill=yellow!80!black,align=right, minimum width=10cm] {This is a\\ demonstration text for\\ alignments.}; \end{tikzpicture} \begin{tikzpicture} \node[fill=yellow!80!black,align=left, minimum width=10cm] {This is a\\ demonstration text for\\ alignments.}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} When using align=right and align=left, the text is usually flushed to the right. But when I set a minimum width for the box it appears in the center instead: This feels like a bug in tikz. In Left alignment in TikZ, people suggested setting text width or wrapping the content in a parbox. However, these require knowing the width of the text beforehand, otherwise one gets overfull/underfull box warnings, so I do not consider them real solutions. I would expect the text width to be chosen automatically.

usrguide motivates \NewCommandCopy with ... If the existing command is robust, then the old trick of using the low-level \let for this doesn’t work, because it only copies the top-level definition, but not the part that actually does the work. this suggests that \NewCommandCopy can somehow copy the full definition of a robust command. The only way I can image it can do this, is by expanding the command. However, the whole point of a robust command is that it might not be expandable and might break in an expansion only context. Does \NewCommandCopy just accept the risk and hence is basically quite similar to \edef\oldcommand{\command} or am I missing something here?

I am using the parskip package and wonder if there is a way to always avoid the extra spacing before equations regardless if having a space in the .tex file or not? That is, when doing something like text blablablablabla \begin{equation} ... \end{equation} there is an extra (unwanted) space which doesn't show when doing text blablablablabla \begin{equation} ... \end{equation} So I wonder if there is a way to achieve the compiled output as in the latter case, for both alternatives. (For equations, align, etc.) I found a tip about using \abovedisplayskip in another post, but didn't get this to work.

I have the following situation: where the first \clip in the second frame is very small and I wish to present it a bit bigger for visibility reasons.

I want to focus on the variables in particular TEXMFVAR ~/.texlive2025/texmf-var The first observation is, that ~/.texlive2025 seems unused, i.e. does not show up but lualatex writes ~/.texlive. If I erase it reappears. I wonder whether my setting is ignored. Since I have in parallel release 2024 and 2025 I would like to keep separated. If I understand the settings in the profile right, this is done, but reality differs: all is written into one folder, namely ~/.texlive. If I have a look inside, some strange files show up: ~/.texlive/texmf-var/luatex-cache/generic/names/luaotfload-names.lua.gz gunzipping unveils: ... ["/usr/share/fonts/truetype/luxisri.ttf"]={ ["index"]={ [false]=458, }, ["timestamp"]=1770577183, }, ["/usr/share/fonts/xscreensaver/OCRA.ttf"]={ ["index"]={ [false]=180, }, ["timestamp"]=1763843231, }, ... which means that lualatex scans my system fonts. This is not a nice observation because I want to make my texlive reproducible. How can I prevent this problem??? Next bad ovservation: ~/.texlive/texmf-var/luamplib_cache/luamplib_input_F4_05someMetapost_mp I am sure this is from luamplib and the name is that of a specific figure in some (Chapter 4, Figure 5) so part of my document leaks into my home folder. Also very bad but not as bad as the above problem, because I can just avoid luamplib. Last problem: TEXMFHOME ~/texmf does not show up, but I am worried what this is for and what kind of information is stored there and I fear also mixing up several releases of texlive. Updates: I found some rest of my old linux distributions installation of texlive. That explains the presence of ~/.texlive/ without year.

Can someone help me create a macro like \MyList{A;B;C;D;E;F} which returns “A, B, C, D, E[,] respectively F" independently on how many ”arguments” (2+) that are specified and also support math, e.g. \MyList{\(A\);\(B\);\(C\);\(D\);\(E\);\(F\)} ? (I used the [,] notation since I’m not sure if the Oxford comma is used today.) If the number of arguments is two; \MyList{A;B} I would like it to return “A respectively B”. Edit: I tried using sinuitx but it might not be suitable for this task as it mainly(?) handles numbers. Here is a test \documentclass{article} \usepackage{siunitx} \begin{document} \numlist[parse-numbers=false]{A;2;3} \numlist[parse-numbers=false]{\text{A};2;3} \numlist[parse-numbers=false]{\(A+B\);2;3} \end{document} but it gives an error on the last line and I would like to have ”roman letters” if no ”math mode” is used, and avoid using \text{}.

Is there a resource that goes through (La)TeX fonts, gives them a pairing, and a description? I asking, which fonts like serif for body text, and sans serif for headers and stuff complement each other; and fonts good for long reading like a book? To be clear: it would pair Serif fonts with Sans Serif fonts, specifically ones that are shipped with TeX Live and MiKTeX. I think this would be very handy for everybody, especially people who do not know which fonts to use for the headings and which ones for their body text. With type families that have matching faces (Serif, Sans Serif, Monospaced,etc) is easy, e.g., Latin Modern, Kp-Fonts, etc. The amount of pairings is just baffling, and you searched the web for TeX font pairings and came up with nothing. 🙂 Hopefully, this question doesn't violate any rules, and I don't think I need a MWE?

Can I configure this loop, or a similar loop, to add rows until the end of the text body is reached? A small gap at the end will probably be unavoidable. Could this be achieved with \pdfpos? \documentclass[a5paper]{article} \usepackage[margin=14mm, showframe=true, paperheight=126mm, ]{geometry} \newcounter{mycount} \setcounter{mycount}{0} \def\mylines{}% \loop\ifnum\themycount<7% \addtocounter{mycount}{1} \expandafter\def\expandafter\mylines\expandafter{% \mylines & & \themycount \\ }% \repeat% \begin{document} \section{Table} \begin{tabular}{| c c | c|} \hline \multicolumn{3}{|c|}{Something} \\ \hline A & B & (My Head) \\ \hline a & b & n\\ a & b & n\\ a & b & n\\ \mylines \hline A & B & (My Foot)\\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{document}

Claim This post is more likely asking for better approach, focused on the arc's plot. And that is similar to, but I don't find the same one: Drawing cyclic quiver Drawing a circular graph using xypic https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/759710/322482 Descrption I found that just with： \draw[<->,shortstyle,violet] (\ang:\RR cm) arc[radius=\RR cm,start angle=\ang,delta angle=\deltaang]; The arc is not exactly centered at (0,0)(the violet part), thus I learnt from here and calculate the \deltaangg with cosline rule manually.

Any suggestions on the code?

I need a verse environment that for each verse, checks if there is a heading line and a number at the end and puts them with a special formatting if it finds. Of course not forgetting to dump that verse too. And if the verse does not have either the header or the number or both, skip this task. In the past I once asked for a verse environment that automatically numbers the verses. (Environment honouring newlines and add stuff before empty lines). I want that your solution is based on that one there that i validated. Don't use fontsize as it is creating a problem (though subtle). Here a header is starting with > and takes the entire line as the header. This header must be put bold in the document. The number at the end of the verse is always the last character in its line and preceded by "||" and any white-spaces. Latex must dump the verse up to the "||" and" puts the number this way 1 || 2 || 3 || after the verse's "||". \documentclass[a4paper]{article} \usepackage{fancyhdr} \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \fancyhead[C]{lipsum text (dummy text)} \begin{document} lipsum text \\ (dummy text) \begin{myenv} Laborum molestias nam possimus omnis.

I have found the following question: Extend custom \IMG macro: add percentage-based overlay label (white box + letter) at (x%, y%) with separate scale I want exactly the same, but with more options: Multiple text boxes, so having two different text boxes should be feasible Multi-line support, so not just single-line, e.g., A\\B should work I also want to use \keys_define Previous question: I have a basic macro that inserts a figure with \includegraphics, caption, and label: \documentclass{report} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{float} \newcommand{\IMG}[4]{ \begin{figure}[H] \centering \includegraphics[scale=#1]{#2} \caption{#3} \label{fig:#4} \end{figure} } \begin{document} \IMG{0.5}{example-image}{Caption}{figA} \IMG{0.6}{example-image}{Caption}{figB} \end{document} I want to extend it so I can overlay a letter inside a white square with a black border on top of the image, with the position given in percentages of the image size, and with a separate scale that affects only the overlay (box + letter), not the image. Desired call syntax: \IMG{imgscale}{filename}{caption}{label}{y}{x}{letter}{overlayscale} Where: imgscale is passed to \includegraphics[scale=...] (scales the image) y and x are relative coordinates inside the image (fractions / percentages of the image size): (y=0, x=0) corresponds to the top-left corner of the image y increases downward (south) x increases to the right (east) e.g. y=0.10 means 10% from the top, x=0.05 means 5% from the left letter is something like A, B, etc. (only one letter) overlayscale scales only the overlay (white square + letter), not the image the letter should be centered inside the square Example usage I want: \IMG{0.5}{example-image}{Caption}{figA}{0.10}{0.05}{A}{1.2} This should place a small white square (black border) near the top-left, at 5% from the left and 10% from the top, and put the letter A inside it. I’m open to tikz, overpic, etc., as long as the coordinates are relative to the image (not the page). Ideally the overlay moves correctly when the image scale changes. It should look like this: Maybe the best answer: \documentclass{report} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{float} \usepackage{color} \newcommand{\IMG}[7]{% don't forget % at EOL \begin{figure}[H] \centering \sbox0{\includegraphics[scale=#1]{#2}}% \usebox{0}% \rlap{\hspace{-#5\wd0}{\raisebox{#6\ht0}{\llap{\fcolorbox{black}{white}{#7}}}}}% \caption{#3} \label{fig:#4} \end{figure}% } \begin{document} \IMG{0.5}{example-image}{Caption}{figA}{.1}{.2}{A} \IMG{0.6}{example-image}{Caption}{figB}{.3}{.3}{B} \end{document} just measures the scaled image, then uses \hspace and \raisebox to move the box.

I apologized if this is a duplicate. What is the best way to draw such figures with tikz (or other packages)? For the time being just the potato like figure. I do not care for the vectors and the infinitesimal mass element. I do not want someone to do the work for me. Just some advice or suggestions.
