Hi,welcome to the forum!You can use a Windows TeX Live within WSL by calling them with the .exe extension, such as "pdflatex.exe filename".And you can install and use TeX Live completely in WSL using the wsl command before, such as "wsl pdflatex filename".Looks to me like what you request is already supported.If you have further suggestions or need a specific feature, you could post an issue to the TeX Live GitHub page or discuss in the TeX Live mailing list, as this is a general LaTeX users' forum here. But of course feel free to talk here as well. StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Wed Dec 31, 2025 2:33 pm

Hi everyone,I recently updated MiKTeX (December 2025) and encountered a breaking error when compiling my thesis. I managed to fix it and wanted to share the solution here to help others.**The Error:**! LaTeX Error: Unknown message 'caption-code-by-class-deactivated' for module (LaTeX) 'tocbasic'.**The Cause:**It seems to be a bug in the latest version of `tocbasic.sty` (v3.49). The package tries to use an error message before it is actually defined in the file.**The Solution (Workaround):**You need to manually edit the file `tocbasic.sty` in your LaTeX distribution folder (e.g., `.../tex/latex/koma-script/tocbasic.sty`).1. Open `tocbasic.sty`.2.

Actually, all my work is done within WSL. For commands like LaTeX, I just need to prefix them with 'wsl'. Using Linux package managers for common software is much more convenient. On Windows, maintaining package versions takes a lot of effort. While there are tools for this, they are often unsafe or require too much manual intervention. I strongly suggest adding support for TeX Live running in WSL to the Windows version.Statistics: Posted by tty2099 — Wed Dec 31, 2025 5:51 am

Vincent Coen and I are updating and correcting the GnuCOBOL manual, trying to understand how to proceed by looking at what's in the files.I won't deny that sometimes we feel like converting everything into a Word or LibreOffice file, with which we'd be more familiar, but for now we insist on keeping everything as is, and we're managing, albeit with difficulty.Everything we have is on this site:https://sourceforge.net/p/gnucobol/code ... doc/guide/I believe they also contain everything necessary, such as the command files for creating PDFs.Here are also the PDFs created and updated each time.Unfortunately, as you may have guessed, we don't have the experience to figure out how to fix this annoying behavior on my own. We'd love our manual to be perfect, even aesthetically.I'm looking for help on this site, hoping to find someone who can give us the right direction.I don't need you to run tests for us, but I do need detailed instructions on how to proceed.Statistics: Posted by EugenioDiLorenzo — Sat Dec 20, 2025 1:07 pm

Hi Eugenio,welcome to the forum!I think it's not TeX inserting additional spaces, but that's done by texinfo, which controls whitespace and adds its own punctuation spacing rules. To prevent spacing, you may use {} after a command, likeCode: @code{OBJECT-COMPUTER}{},or use @ before punctuation to suppress a space, likeCode: @code{OBJECT-COMPUTER}@,Try both at such a place and see if @ or {} helps at that point.StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Thu Dec 18, 2025 1:32 pm

Hi,I need to run my work by an editor who isn't familiar with LaTeX and usually relies on options provided by Word and pilcrow signs. I would like to make this process as smooth and easy as possible for the both of us, so I would like to compile a second version of my final draft where all the relevant info is overlaid on the page or printed on a separate page.So far I have found the layout package and I am using the option showframe with the geometry package for the general formatting. I would like to also display the size of spaces after/before a figure or a list since this is something they are strict about. It would be grand if I could display that in terms of empty lines in my font size.Are there any other packages or ways to print things like the size of vertical space after a list environment in terms of the font size I am using, or all the information [verbose] on geometry gives, but on the PDF output itself? Sadly I will not have the opportunity to show any code or log files to the editor, so running the .log file or terminal output by them is not an option.Statistics: Posted by Nouber — Tue Dec 16, 2025 12:05 pm

Hi everyone.I use LaTeX to write journals with dated entries. The way I deal with the entries with a small bit of code and a new command:Code: % journal entry command\usepackage[en-CA]{datetime2}\newcommand{\journalentry}[2]{ \renewcommand{\thesection}{\DTMdate{#1}} % numbering to date \section{#2}}With this code, I can now create new journal entries with \journalentry{2025-01-01}{My Journal Title}. The content body shows the localized date as the "section number" for each entry.This works in LaTeX. I want to do this in LyX. Instead of having to insert TeX code every time I need to use \journalentry, I want to add an entry to the top-left drop down. I'm guessing what I would do is have two entries in the drop-down, one to set the next journal entry's date and then another to set the journal entry's title.I guess custom module would let me do this, but I cannot find any documentation on how to implement a custom module.

Welcome to the forum!Those SSL libraries belong to Qt, right, LyX just uses Qt. LyX can use it to download from external repositories or sources such as remote BibTeX/biblatex sources, or via URL-inserted stuff. I don't work with LyX myself, but I can imagine it works when used locally without Internet access, just using the local TeX installation. So, an option may be removing the DLLs and telling users that LyX can be used without external parts (and ignoring Qt TLS warnings like “No functional TLS backend” / “incompatible OpenSSL” etc.Replacing with updated DLLs can be better, but it may require some testing (or research). Use the same kind of DLLs (64-bit) with the same major and minor versions, just patched. Test a bit, like inserting something from an external URL. If it survives a small test, then SSL/TLS should work in general.You could also ask on more official channels, such as the mailing lists, or give this a try.StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Wed Nov 19, 2025 3:21 pm

Dear LyX community,I am contacting you because i am evaluating the use of LyX in a corporate environment, and i have encountered a security compliance issue regarding the OpenSSL libraries distributed with the Windows version of LyX.Specifically, the LyX installation includes the following DLLs:libcrypto-3.dlllibssl-3.dllThe internal security tools have flagged these files as containing known OpenSSL 3.x vulnerabilities (based on current CVE reports).Updating LyX to a newer version did not resolve the issue, and replacing the DLLs manually is difficult without knowing which OpenSSL 3.x build is officially supported and compatible with the LyX Windows binaries.I would appreciate guidance on the following questions:Does LyX actively use OpenSSL on Windows, or are these DLLs only present because of Qt’s network module?In other words, is OpenSSL actually required by LyX, or only loaded when optional network features are used (e.g., update checks)?Is it safe and officially supported to replace the included libcrypto-3.dll and libssl-3.dll with patched OpenSSL 3.x DLLs from trusted sources (e.g., the Win64 OpenSSL builds)?If yes, are there specific version requirements, ABI constraints, or known compatibility issues?Is there a way to disable SSL/HTTPS functionality in LyX entirely, for environments where outbound network connections are blocked anyway?Are there any plans to update or decouple the bundled OpenSSL libraries in future LyX releases?This is an important question for corporate-wide deployment, because we need a clear and supportable mitigation that does not rely on sandboxing or user-level workarounds.Any information or recommendations from the LyX developers or experienced users would be very helpful.Thank you very much for your assistance,Statistics: Posted by lyx_user1221 — Wed Nov 19, 2025 11:31 am

So just take care that your macros don't insert line spaces just because the code line ends. Just comment out the line ending by a % where it should not cause a white space.That's the reason why you often can see percent signs at the end of lines in longer LaTeX macros that generate text, to avoid generating spaces. After a while one gets used to it and ends every macro code line with a % because the "end of line space" is only needed in text.StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Tue Oct 28, 2025 7:15 pm

One way of handling it is to use nested if statements, but the more cases your have the uglier/more-cumbersome it becomes, and I am also getting a weird spacing issue where the text is placed (large spacing after the colon).Is there a smarter way of handling this?Thank you for taking the time to read and reply,AlanExample nested statement, spacing issueCode: \documentclass{article}\usepackage{etoolbox}\begin{document}\newbool{customer1}\newbool{customer2}%...\newbool{customerN}This is general text all customers get.\booltrue{customer1}This is special information:\ifboolexpr{bool{customer1}}{customer1 specific information}{\ifboolexpr{bool{customer2}}{customer2 specific information}{\ifboolexpr{bool{customer2}}{customerN specific information}{No previous customers were matched}}}\boolfalse{customer1}\booltrue{customerN}Notice the larger spacing after the colon using customerNThis is special information:\ifboolexpr{bool{customer1}}{customer1 specific information}{\ifboolexpr{bool{customer2}}{customer2 specific information}{\ifboolexpr{bool{customerN}}{customerN specific information}{No previous customers were matched}}}\bigskipIf the text is on a new line, no spacing issue\booltrue{customer1}\boolfalse{customerN}\ifboolexpr{bool{customer1}}{customer1 specific information}{\ifboolexpr{bool{customer2}}{customer2 specific information}{\ifboolexpr{bool{customer2}}{customerN specific information}{No previous customers were matched}}}\boolfalse{customer1}\booltrue{customerN}\ifboolexpr{bool{customer1}}{customer1 specific information}{\ifboolexpr{bool{customer2}}{customer2 specific information}{\ifboolexpr{bool{customerN}}{customerN specific information}{No previous customers were matched}}}\end{document}Statistics: Posted by Shea12Shea12 — Tue Oct 28, 2025 6:55 pm

I get 0 errors. Perhaps post your updated code and the .log file you get with that code to see the exact error message and related information. I don't get an !Extra \fi error.StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Tue Oct 28, 2025 3:58 pm

Dear StefanThank you very much. I have tried re-positioning \usepackage{BSPMsample} but I am still getting the same error. I will probably try to avoid subcaption at all cost. Or is there anyway I can do it?Statistics: Posted by gmbokoma_94 — Tue Oct 28, 2025 3:43 pm

Sure, that's why I suggested keeping it, but moving it to a later place. If you have it on the top, first loaded, the other packages are not only interfering but can also change the journal's settings. If you move it to the end, it applies its settings later, when another package's settings cannot overwrite them. But if you don't have another error, you can keep that, the errors I got may be related to my local LaTeX version.StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Tue Oct 28, 2025 12:59 pm

Thank you StefanThe \usepackage{BSPMsample} is a special package for journal submission that I am trying to submit my article too. I can not by pass it. Maybe their package does not support \subcaptionbox, otherwise everything else is good.Statistics: Posted by gmbokoma_94 — Tue Oct 28, 2025 12:23 pm

You have this line here:Code: \caption{ Numerical, exact solution and absolute error at $T = 5$, with $\Delta t = 0.1$, $\Delta x = 0.12 $ for %Eq.~(\ref{eq-27}).}Eq.~(\ref{eq-27}).} is commented out by that percent sign, so the closing brace is missing. Remove that % symbol.Also, I think better moveCode: \usepackage{BSPMsample}to the end of the preamble, right before \begin{document}, because it seems to interfere with the other packages otherwise.StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Tue Oct 28, 2025 12:11 pm

Hi StefanThank you so much.Kindly, see attached the attached file. I literally just cut the parts that is giving problem. Test.zipStatistics: Posted by gmbokoma_94 — Tue Oct 28, 2025 10:52 am

A quick example to show that it's usually working:Code: \documentclass{article}\usepackage{subcaption,lipsum}\begin{document}\section*{Demo of subcaption with subcaptionbox}\lipsum[1]\begin{figure}[htbp!] \centering \subcaptionbox{First dummy image}[.45\linewidth]{% \fbox{\rule{0pt}{3cm}\rule{5cm}{0pt}}% }\hfill \subcaptionbox{Second dummy image (longer caption to show wrapping)}[.45\linewidth]{% \fbox{\rule{0pt}{3cm}\rule{5cm}{0pt}}% } \caption{Two subfigures created with subcaptionbox} \label{fig:main-fig}\end{figure}\lipsum[2]\end{document}StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Tue Oct 28, 2025 10:21 am

Hi,welcome to the forum!There may be an error in your code. Perhaps post your code here as a small, reduced copy (complete with relevant preamble like \documentclass, etc.). That code should bring the error when we test it.Once we can test the code and see the error, we can fix it most of the time. Without code, a hint is rarely possible.StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Tue Oct 28, 2025 10:14 am

Hi Kindly, assist with !Extra \fi error for subcaption package. The package is working perfectly for other projects but not working for this specific one. This error is rising from having \subcaptionbox inside the figure enviroment.Statistics: Posted by gmbokoma_94 — Tue Oct 28, 2025 9:47 am

Working with LaTeX and input files that have variable filenames can be tricky, but using commands like \jobname or external scripts can help automate the process and make your workflow much smoother. While tackling complex document structures, it’s also important to stay mindful of personal wellness. For example, a intermittent fasting app can help you track your fasting windows, set reminders, and maintain consistency, making it easier to stay healthy even during long coding or writing sessions. Additionally, https://wellness-app.com/ offers a variety of tools and resources to support your overall well-being, helping you balance productivity and self-care in a structured way.Statistics: Posted by Amaydennis — Tue Oct 28, 2025 8:23 am
