I agree, that looks like a bug, I suspect in the moderncv code because it's only related to the order if it own commands. Like if \moderncvstyle already applies "color" values and later changes don't have an effect. On an older LaTeX installation I also saw it working fine in both orders.StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Tue Jun 24, 2025 7:32 pm

Thank you a lot. That worked for me too - was the order of the original template - so something must have changed in latex here. Smells a little like a bug. The order should not be important for this. Also this was working for me with older latex versions.Statistics: Posted by canuzzi — Tue Jun 24, 2025 6:31 pm

Hi Enzo,thanks to your example code, I could test it. I found that it works if you reverse the order of commands and choose the color before the style:Code: \moderncvcolor{green}\moderncvstyle{classic} StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Tue Jun 24, 2025 5:12 pm

Hi Canuzzi,welcome to the forum!The warnings happen because you are using fancy font shapes / combinations which are not available.ams_cv.tex 99 LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `T1/lmss/m/scsl' undefined using `T1/lmss/m/sc' instead on input line 99.This means, small caps slanted (scsl) font is not available, so small caps (sc) is used. If that looks ok for you, don't worry. If you need it, use the kpfonts package instead of lmodern, for example.Regarding the color, I can only tell you if I see the code and the output. Maybe post the code here, and a screenshot as attachment. You can use dummy placeholder text instead of your CV data.StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Tue Jun 24, 2025 1:47 pm

Small comment, please always use the "Code"-Button when posting Code here (editor button with </> symbol when writing), for formatting and also direct online compiling. I edited it in the previous code for you.The preamble doesn't tell me anything about what happened in or after the table. Please always post a small example with the issue, so it can be tested and fixed. Also in the first examples, \begin{document} and \end{document} were missing, but I quickly added that to make the code snippets compilable.Show some code that produces the issue (when I click the "Run LaTeX here" button) and I'm sure I can fix it.StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Tue Jun 24, 2025 1:40 pm

To anybody that answers me plea for help:As the subject line says, I just started using LaTeX the past few weeks. I am trying to create tables, but cannot. I have looked everywhere I can think on the internet to try to find answers, and some of them are close, but none are perfect. So it looks almost perfect, the problem is I would like the table name and number to be further left justified. I put the {l} code in there, but it's not as far justified as I would like (this is a minor problem). Second, and more important, I cannot get the very bottom row to put my source information in there correctly. I can either have the information in first, left, cell, but the info is crammed into the left, small cell. OR, I use the \multicolumn command to combine the two cells, but then the cell content doesn't scroll.

Hi Stefan,Unfortunately, it seems one of the solutions is to completely ban domains. It is not the domain that spams, but the user. I am using Yandex.com as my main email service. I had left Gmail some years ago. But for the sake of this forum, I have had to reopen my Gmail account. This seems a little too drastic and troublesome to me. Since it is obvious that I have been a member here for a while and certainly did not spam, can we not have the Yandex.com domain allowed again. I hate having to maintain another email account just for this purpose. If somehow this is not possible, may I request that I my specific email from Yandex to be added to some exclusion list if that exists? I can send it to you via a private message. Let me know.

That may happen if the footnote contains too much text for the available space, or there are unusual commands on the page, such as \enlargethispage or \vspace tweaks. Hard to say without seeing it.Perhaps you can find a warning in the logfile for that position?I would not add a manual page break.

Hi, Probably sort itself out by final copy, but with the current draft I have text from the body of the page overlapping with a footnote.The footnote is from the first line of the page currently. With edits (new text getting added earlier in the document) that line will probably get pushed down the page and perhaps the problem will be solved. Just in case ... should I add a page break in the body of the above where the overlap starts (which I might subsequently need to remember to delete)?

Nacemos y crecemos expuestos a la búsqueda de sensaciones fuertes que han de justificar nuestra vida”\cite{1} comienza el texto, resumiendo quizás en una gran frase uno de los problemas principales que desarrolla el autor, y a su vez sacando a la luz una cuestión social bastante compleja, que alude a la pérdida de un sentido o norte en la vida, y relegándola solamente a satisfacer repetida e incansablemente momentos “intensos” pero sin un norte o fin de largo plazo, lo cual amenaza con crear “Individuos frustrados”\cite{2} y sin mayor sentido profundo de la vida.“Vivir, por tanto, era ser eléctrico”\cite{3} afirma ya en el desarrollo del concepto de intensidad, haciendo analogía con la electricidad misma, y como esta electricidad al ser descubierta y “controlable” por el hombre científico, evoca a una característica esencial sobre lo que conforma a los seres que están vivos y describiendo como esta electricidad es un combustible esencial para poder tener una vida sensitiva; dado que los seres vivos dependemos de esta electricidad para generar estímulos neurológicos. Entonces, mayor electricidad significaría por ende mayores estímulos mentales y por ende mayor cantidad de vida, lo cual García ilustra como un “ideal de juventud intensa y eléctrica”\cite{4} bajo una caricatura sarcástica del “joven rockero”\cite{5} representativa del individuo en búsqueda inalcanzable de intensidades y sensaciones para engloriar superficialmente su vida, pero sin un fin sincero y genuino de ella misma.“La intensidad se convertía en un ideal ético”\cite{6} definiendo uno de los principales dilemas de esta intensidad instaurada en la sociedad, lo cual a su vez permite dar luces de que para atacar la raíz del conflicto, se debería generar un ideal ético-moral mayor que erradique con fuerza al actual ideal. No obstante, esta idea de solución en base a una “ética contemporánea mayor”\cite{7} , no la desarrolla con fundamentos, sino que sólo con mayor crítica al problema mismo el que finalmente define como un hombre que “no ha querido ser sabio”\cite{8} , pero sin describir justificadamente soluciones prácticas, y simplemente dando aluces de “salvación”\cite{9} a la búsqueda de una “verdadera vida”\cite{10} o verdad, basada en la espiritualidad y con gran énfasis en diferentes promesas de diferentes religiones sobre como alcanzar este estado de mayor sabiduría espiritual, apelando a “mantenerse fuerte”\cite{11} éticamente y concebir una mejor forma de vivir, pero insisto, sin dar soluciones prácticas a nivel antropológico-social.No obstante, el mismo autor reconoce que el problema no tiene soluciones sencillas o incluso habla de “no tener salida”\cite{12} , lo cual lamentablemente pareciera ser una condición bastante real de la actualidad social -al menos del mundo occidental- y por ende una condición ya estructural de nuestra sociedad moderna, lo cual amenaza con un deterioro continuo no solamente del ser humano como ser tanto racional como espiritual, sino que también del entorno global que habitamos.En términos morales, el dilema de la “intensidad” genera un circulo vicioso, que socaba de manera perpetua las bases morales basadas en costumbres, creencias y valores estructuradas con fines espirituales de mayor profundidad, reemplazando un ética de sentido de largo plazo, por un ética de la inmediatez; y la inmediatez no perdura por ende nunca es sino que fue, y es siempre inmediata, pasajera y deja de existir al ser sustituida por una nueva inmediatez que a su vez busca nuevamente no ser, dado que busca nuevamente la nueva inmediatez. Finalmente, nunca es. Y si nunca es, no existe. Y si no existe es nada, que es justamente lo que aterroriza pensar que podamos llegar a ser: Nada.%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------%BIBLIOGRAPHY%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\renewcommand\refname{Referencias}\bibliographystyle{elsarticle-num}\begin{thebibliography}{999}\bibitem{1}Introducción, La Vida Intensa, Tristán García\bibitem{2}Introducción, La Vida Intensa, Tristán García\bibitem{3}La promesa de la ilustración eléctrica, La Vida Intensa, Tristán García\bibitem{4}El Rockero, un adolescente electrificado, La Vida Intensa, Tristán García\bibitem{5}El Rockero, un adolescente electrificado, La Vida Intensa, Tristán Garcíaa\bibitem{6}Contra el aburguesamiento de las intensidades, La Vida Intensa, Tristán García\bibitem{7}Concepto definido por Felipe Garrido (Autor presente crítica), dentro de crítica a La Vida Intensa\bibitem{8}Como sabiduría, La Vida intensa, Tristán García\bibitem{9}Como salvación, La Vida intensa, Tristán García\bibitem{10}Como salvación, La Vida intensa, Tristán García\bibitem{11}La suerte, La Vida intensa, Tristán García\bibitem{12}Sin Salida, La Vida intensa, Tristán García\end{thebibliography}\end{document}Statistics: Posted by FelipeLatex — Sat Jun 14, 2025 1:29 am

Wow!Statistics: Posted by noamzaks — Sun Jun 08, 2025 11:52 am

Hi Noam,I see that Typst is like combining easier syntax (markdown-like) with a LaTeX-like quality of output with a smaller codebase, and so easier to install and web-friendly. Putting it into the backend omits the syntax/learning benefits while it keeps some limitations compared to full LaTeX. Just other words for my first thought. But I see that Typst may evolve and get many more capabilities over time. It depends a bit on the commercial success of the company, but having a company behind is also a support in development.Getting in LaTeX development today is super hard, I guess, seeing the LaTeX3 code and what the team does. A fresh start like Typst can help.While I wish that LyX would have been better in design and usability (when I tried it a long time ago), and TeXmacs could also have been a thing. For fun, here's LyX on my Blackberry phone in 2016. I wish TyX (and Typst) great success!StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Sun Jun 08, 2025 11:38 am

Hi Stefan,Thanks for the reply!From my perspective, as you say, TyX as a frontend poses several possible benefits over LyX (which some may view as downgrades…) among them:- Automatic updates by Tauri.- Be possible to use as a web editor without major struggles.- Smaller codebase more reliant on robust third-party libraries.As for the Typst vs. LaTeX backend, I believe Typst can be a good choice for some cases - here are some of the benefits I see:- Can be easily used by the Rust side of the app, or used as a “sidecar” binary as opposed to LaTeX installation and package management- Typst might be better suited for incremental compilation as it was built for that; Therefore, having “live preview” should be simpler- Typst syntax is (arguably) easier to learn and work withDoes this make sense?In any case, I know this forum is for LaTeX and LyX - looking forward to hearing your perspectives on this Statistics: Posted by noamzaks — Sun Jun 08, 2025 1:09 am

Hi Noam,welcome to the forum!Most of our users work with LaTeX, some with LyX, and we are happy to support LyX users as well, especially when it involves ERT.TyX sounds interesting. My first understanding is, that it may be a front-end/editor and the backend shall be Typst. When the backend is hidden anyway and doesn't bother the user, I would guess LaTeX would be the more capable backend. I understand that using Typst directly is a very different experience compared to using LaTeX. But what benefit does it have to let Typst run in the background, instead of a pdfLaTeX/XeLaTeX/LuaLaTeX? Would TyX have more features or different features that LyX cannot cover with LaTeX because Typst is behind? Or is it like: when you use ERT, it's Typst syntax and that's the benefit?StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Sun Jun 08, 2025 12:46 am

Hey all,LyX has been prominent throughout the last decade of my life. It is amazing software which let me create math documents very quickly and has always shocked me with the depth of its design, both in source code and user experience.Recently I have discovered Typst, a new take on a typesetting system. I fell in love with it, and shortly after started pondering about how to develop TyX - a LyX-like experience rewritten for Typst and the modern era.TyX uses amazing libraries like MathLive, TipTap and Tauri among many others. You can read more about it on https://tyx-editor.com or view the source at https://github.com/tyx-editor/TyX.I would really love to hear your thoughts on this, your suggestions, anything you have to say and of course your contributions.NoamStatistics: Posted by noamzaks — Sat Jun 07, 2025 11:54 pm

Hi everyone,I'm relatively new to LaTeX and have started using it to create my school assignments. I'm not writing technical papers yet, but I’ve found that using LaTeX with Zotero in VS Code is much more accessible with a screen reader than most other setups I’ve tried.Since my discussion posts need to follow APA style, I’m using LaTeX to format both those and my full papers. That part is going well—but I’m running into trouble when I need to actually post what I’ve written.My school uses Brightspace, which allows discussion posts in either rich text or HTML. I have Pandoc installed, so I tried converting my .tex file to HTML and pasting the code into the discussion editor. The problem is: the references section doesn’t show up in the HTML output.I also tried copying from the PDF, but that strips all formatting.Here’s the command I’ve been using:pandoc main.tex \ --bibliography=references.bib \ --csl=apa.csl \ --standalone \ -o main.htmlIt creates the HTML file, but the references section is missing.Has anyone run into this before? Is there a way to get a clean HTML version of my LaTeX document with the references included so I can paste it into Brightspace?Any help would be appreciated!Statistics: Posted by OBaryman — Thu Jun 05, 2025 8:43 am

Hi,welcome to the forum!I'm glad you got these books. I wrote them, and I'm happy when I hear that people read the books. I hope you liked them! Would you please be so kind to post a review for each on Amazon? (even if you got them in another bookstore). Reviews help me find readers and convince my publisher to allow me to produce another, extended edition. I want to create an extended edition of the TikZ book, so reviews would be greatly appreciated. For now, I made a Japanese translation (see TikZ.jp) and I'm working on a Japanese translation of the LaTeX Cookbook.Regarding the workflow, I think that when you get more experience with LaTeX, you may switch from LyX to a LaTeX editor, such as TeXstudio or TeXworks. With a good template, you may not need LyX anymore. Compiling is fast nowadays, allowing you to track progress in a LaTeX editor that displays Code and PDF side by side. When I create TikZ pictures, I often compile them every few seconds to see the changes as I adjust. But LyX is good with ERT for now, of course.I saw the Pascal triangle video. It's a short piece of not much explained code, but basically it is a \foreach loop for the rows a \foreach loop for the columns a calculation for the coordinates of the nodes from row n and column k a pgfmath calculation for the value in the node textYou can make it similar. If you like, share your code here and I can help improve it.As your focus is on the paper as a result, and not on a TikZ code, you could also simply use tabular or array and put the calculated values in, using Excel for example. Ultimately, it's the PDF that's important, not the smart code, especially if there's a time pressure.StefanStatistics: Posted by Stefan Kottwitz — Tue Jun 03, 2025 2:01 pm

I am new to using TikZ, but have been using LaTeX via LyX for several years now. While I am not the most adept user, I am somewhat confident in my understanding of how the program works, albeit unfamiliar with all of its features. I understand this is a fairly high level task to try to implement, but I have very concerted reasons why this is my immediate aim.I do not think the details of my project are entirely relevant or necessary to explain, however, I will say this:–I am writing an academic paper that I hope to be able to submit to arxiv.org in the area of Number Theory;–I have the vast majority of the paper written, with the exception of this particular diagram and an addendum to the end;–I have recently purchased the LaTeX Cookbook, as well as LaTeX Graphics with TikZ, and have numerous other resources;–I am willing to take the time necessary to under to learn the concepts, but have only limited coding experience (and via GUI in, LabVIEW).Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.The basic problems I need help with are:1) some practical advice about most sensible workflow (I have read about so-called ERTs, and using text editors, etc. to insert "child documents" in LyX, exporting from CAS programs (I have installed Maxima, but yet to really learn how the program works);2) how to make customizations to the generation of Pascal's Triangle-like structures (I have watched this tutorial:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1XBdHdofuw) such that, for example, I can stipulate the diagonal "column" containing the terms which would otherwise be the binomial coefficients k=0 (the left-most infinite series of ones), as being numbers generated according to a particular formula of my choosing, each successive diagonal row extending from the terms in the right-sided row of the triangle (i.e. the infinite series from n=1, k=1 down and to the left, and so on), being self-similar in their ratio to those terms contained in the first, with each term in the right-sided row (i.e. from n=0, k=0 down diagonally to the right) being the powers of any given input x, such that x^0=(n=0, k=0), *EDIT* x^1=(n=1, k=1), x^2=(n=2, k=2), etc. *EDIT*. I hope I have explained this adequately.I understand this may be a very difficult problem... I have already begun, with some chagrin, to appreciate how difficult it is going to be to use this as a pretext for learning TikZ, and more of the fundamentals of LaTeX, but it is, I think, the only way to finish my paper as I have envisioned it. Any help that would be so graciously offered would be invaluable.Statistics: Posted by spe420 — Tue Jun 03, 2025 9:27 am
