Hi,I need to circle one or two letters, and the letters can be either a capital letter (only one in this case), a digit or two digits.I used \def\NRU#1{\tikz\node[circle,draw,inner sep=1pt,outer sep=1pt]{\scriptsize #1};}\def\NRD#1{\tikz\node[circle,draw,inner sep=1pt,outer sep=1pt]{\tiny #1};}And I have in my text \NRU{S}, \NRU{1}, \NRU{2} \NRD{13}, \NRD{23} and \NRD{24}Of course, I want the circleds letters be integrated perfectly in the line (without adding spacing).My solution is quite good, but there is a slight difference between one and two digits.Is it a solution for centering and reducing the letters in any cases?ThanksStatistics: Posted by PK_TeX — Tue Oct 21, 2025 10:50 am

Since it occurs with hyperref and not in regular text, you could post it as a Github issue. I recommend not calling it a bug, but a limitation or a problem. Such issues arise when complex macros are expanded and rewritten to create hyperlinks. There are commands to work around such issues, such as \protect and \expandafter.

The code of the page looks like the following: Code: \documentclass[ngerman,inputenc=utf8, % KORREKT: UTF-8, wie im Originaltoc=listof,toc=bibliography,footnotes=multiple,parskip=half,numbers=noendperiod]{scrartcl}% Die zweite, überflüssige \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} Zeile wird nicht benötigt.\input{Meta}\input{Allgemein/Packages}\input{Allgemein/Seitenstil}\input{Allgemein/Befehle}\input{Befehle}\begin{document}\phantomsection\thispagestyle{plain}\pdfbookmark[1]{Deckblatt}{deckblatt}\input{Deckblatt}\cleardoublepage% Preface --------------------------------------------------------------------\phantomsection\pagenumbering{Roman}\pdfbookmark[1]{Inhaltsverzeichnis}{inhalt}\tableofcontents\phantomsection\listoffigures\phantomsection\listoftables\phantomsection\lstlistoflistings\cleardoublepage\input{Abkuerzungen}% Content---------------------------------------------------------------------\pagenumbering{arabic}% Die manuellen Fußzeilen-Befehle wurden entfernt, da sie nun überflüssig sind.\input{Inhalt.tex}% Attachments---------------------------------------------------------------------\clearpage\appendix\pagenumbering{roman}\input{Anhang}\end{document}AndCode: % !TEX root = ../Projektdokumentation.tex% Page margins\setlength{\topskip}{\ht\strutbox}\geometry{a4paper, top=30mm, left=25mm, right=25mm, bottom=30mm}\setlength{\footskip}{10mm} % Abstand der Fußzeile anpassen\usepackage[automark,headsepline,ilines,footsepline]{scrlayer-scrpage}% Fallbacks (falls Meta.tex mal nicht geladen wurde)\providecommand{\titel}{}\providecommand{\untertitel}{}\providecommand{\autorName}{}\pagestyle{scrheadings}\clearscrheadfoot% -- HEADER--\renewcommand{\headfont}{\normalfont}\ihead{% \large\textsc{\titel}\\ \small\untertitel\\[1ex] \textit{\headmark}%}\chead{}\ohead{\includegraphics[height=12mm]{Bilder/Dachser-Logo.png}} % Logos lieber in Höhe begrenzen\setlength{\headheight}{21mm} % 18 mm ist knapp -> erhöhen!% -- FOOTER--\ifoot{\autorName}\cfoot{}\ofoot{\pagemark} % Seitenzahl rechts% Überschriften nach DIN 5008 in einer Fluchtlinie% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------\newcommand{\headingSpace}{1.5cm}% Abschnittsüberschriften im selben Stil wie beim Inhaltsverzeichnis einrücken\renewcommand*{\othersectionlevelsformat}[3]{ \makebox[\headingSpace][l]{#3\autodot}}% Für die Einrückung wird das Paket tocloft benötigt\cftsetindents{section}{0.0cm}{\headingSpace}\cftsetindents{subsection}{0.0cm}{\headingSpace}\cftsetindents{subsubsection}{0.0cm}{\headingSpace}\cftsetindents{figure}{0.0cm}{\headingSpace}\cftsetindents{table}{0.0cm}{\headingSpace}\cftsetindents{listing}{0.0cm}{\headingSpace} % General% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------\onehalfspacing % Zeilenabstand 1,5 Zeilen\frenchspacing % erzeugt ein wenig Platz hinter einem Punkt\clubpenalty = 10000\widowpenalty = 10000\displaywidowpenalty = 10000% Quellcode-Ausgabe formatieren (einfachste, stabile Version)\lstset{ numbers=left, numberstyle=\tiny, numbersep=5pt, breaklines=true, frame=single, showstringspaces=false}% Customise lists\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\arabic{enumi}.}\renewcommand{\labelenumii}{\arabic{enumi}.\arabic{enumii}.}\renewcommand{\labelenumiii}{\arabic{enumi}.\arabic{enumii}.\arabic{enumiii}}% table colouring:% Die folgenden zwei Zeilen sind die wahrscheinlichste Ursache des ursprünglichen Fehlers% und bleiben daher deaktiviert.\definecolor{heading}{rgb}{0.64,0.78,0.86}\definecolor{odd}{rgb}{0.9,0.9,0.9}Thanks in advance for a reply!Statistics: Posted by JanFeger — Tue Sep 30, 2025 9:35 am

Got the above error message trying to pdflatex a file:! Undefined control sequence.l.278 \citCouldn't see anywhere I had \cit{reference} instead of \cite{reference} etc.So I cut out the recently added text, saved to a new file, then added text paragraph by paragraph - the error has just gone.As far as I can tell, the contents of the file.tex are the same.Should I be thinking there is a problem with my OS or disk or memory or some such?ThanksEdit (update):Another outside possibility - I had just copy pasted from the latex version of a book supplied to me by the author (yes, actually happened, I didn't just download a random file off the internet and, that was many years ago but I'm wondering if there might have been some anti-copy pasta feature associated with the file ? I think I'm only suppose to cite from the published version. Is this possible?Edit (further update):Also noticed I had a few stray pdflatex processes hanging around which I have only just killed - might they have been involved in this?Thanks againStatistics: Posted by latex_fun — Mon Sep 29, 2025 2:59 am

Some options of the biblatex package can fix some of your problems. For the others, you might want to check the biblatex-ext package.Code: \documentclass{report}\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}\usepackage[french]{babel}%% URL managment\usepackage{hyperref}\hypersetup{ colorlinks=true, linkcolor=black, urlcolor=black, citecolor=black}%% Bibliography support part\usepackage[ backend=biber, style=iso-numeric, citestyle=verbose-ibid, abbreviate=false, % <--- sorting=nty, dateabbrev=false, % <--- alldates=long % <---]{biblatex}\DefineBibliographyStrings{french}{urlseen={Consulté le}} % <---\addbibresource{biblio.bib}\begin{document}\section{Citation de page web}Voici un exemple de citation d'une page web. \autocite{bonjour:epfl-principaux-logiciel-libre}\section{Bibliographie}\printbibliography\end{document}Statistics: Posted by NVV — Sun Sep 28, 2025 12:24 pm

As we only talk here about LaTeX related topics, you would not need to worry about the thesis. It's just about the writing Software, like we would discuss Microsoft Word and how to make a word bold or a footnote in a smaller font. Nothing related to the content of your thesis, nothing regarding scientific work.It's even good to talk technical things in technical forums to improve tools usage and typographic layout.A forum is not a place to delete things: people test your code, write improvements or fixes, help with troubleshooting, provide LaTeX information, explain how it works, and then it gets deleted? That's not a way; otherwise, this forum would be pretty empty if stuff got deleted after people worked on it. It's a public forum.In rare cases, when confidential information is accidentally posted and you can no longer edit it, you can flag it for a moderator's attention (the exclamation mark button "Report this post" at the top right of a post) to edit and remove a specific part that should not be public. We keep the forum content online, but of course we help when mistakes happen.StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Tue Sep 23, 2025 6:14 pm

As the title says, how to delete a post on this forum?I'm afraid I posted a couple of things that can give me trouble during the finals steps of presenting my thesis..Thanks in advance!Statistics: Posted by marbocam — Tue Sep 23, 2025 5:37 pm

Hi. I'd like to use the nice "screenplay" latex class, but I've only found a "fountain2latex" in Github written in Haskell that seems unmaintained and no releases available. Somebody knows any alternative? Thank you.Statistics: Posted by Deets — Thu Sep 18, 2025 8:11 am

Yes, you may use such a workaround. The reason is, that you use equations in table cells, and equations have vertical space around.Take a look here, I set the values to 0pt:Code: \documentclass{article}\usepackage{amsmath,array}\begin{document}\begin{table}[h!]\caption{Current amplitude response at low frequenciesin the mmW band (small signal regime)}\centering\small\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{0.1}% Tighter\abovedisplayskip=0pt\belowdisplayskip=0pt\abovedisplayshortskip=0pt\belowdisplayshortskip=0pt\begin{tabular}{p{1.5cm}p{7cm}}\hline\hline& \begin{equation*} i(2\omega_\text{RF}\pm\omega_\text{IF})\end{equation*}\\\hline\[\text{OB2B}\] & \begin{equation}\Re P_0 m_\text{AM}m_\text{RF}^2\sin^2 \varphi_\text{DC}\label{gain_OB2B}\end{equation}\\[-5pt]\[\text{SSMF}\] & \begin{equation}\Re P_0 m_\text{AM}m_\text{RF}^2\sin^2 \varphi_\text{DC}(1\pm j \alpha \kappa P_0 \beta L \omega_\text{RF}) \label{gain_SSMF}\end{equation}\\\hline\hline\end{tabular}\label{gainTable1}\end{table}\end{document}I would also recommend using \text for the indices, as they are not variables but kind of text labels.StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Fri Sep 12, 2025 5:48 pm
