I wanted to raise a broader issue I see with the LaTeX ecosystem and asking what folks think is the best way to address it. The issue is how to encourage maximum portability of LaTeX projects (so if you share your project with others and it "just works"). To explain the broader issue, let's walk through a specific, real work example. If a user goes to Overleaf and creates a new project, and wants to create a glossary feature, they only have to use the \makeglossaries command, etc and everything "just works". But then they go and sync that project to Github, and their collaborators try and run it with LaTeX workshop, and they notice their glossary doesn't show up. They do some Googling / Ask ChatGPT, and see some posts mentioning to modify their LaTeX workshop "recipes". Later, another collaborator is added who uses vim / latexmk and the project doesn't compile for them. They read and see similar posts mentioning the use of a modified .latexmkrc file. The question is, in an ideal world, what is the "correct" solution? I think the third, since it's the most portable, and would work in all three cases, but it's also somewhat intimidating to new users, who don't want to have to jump through so many hoops when just starting out. The reason I'm asking is I'm developing yet another online LaTeX editor, and I have the opportunity to to configure what this new default should be. The way Overleaf does it is tempting as it'll make it more seamless for new users, but at the cost of portability / collaboration complexity. As one option, I was considering having the AI assistant recommend the "fix" if you try to use glossary package without the extra needed configuration. We do something similar now for projects that need to be compiled with xelatex / lualatex. This is configurable with the !TEX program = lualatex and intentionally is not selectable in the UI. submitted by /u/vicapow [link] [comments]

so my goal is to get this kind of list with a vertical line connecting a top entry with a bottom entry which has an indent. https://preview.redd.it/widdh8lc9zlf1.jpg?width=794&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1fd8efe9f50678021aeb77b2a4676d52d3503d1d Im using the code below to define an entry list where each block is an individual entry - with a date block and a description block for my CV. Now since I need these special connected entries for some of them I was thinking to make two new entry types - lead and follow where the follow has an indent and the lead the line? I cant really get it to look how I want though with the date blocks being level while the actuall text blocks have an indent and a line connecting to of them. %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % ENTRY LIST %---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \usepackage{longtable} % Required for tables that span multiple pages \setlength{\LTpre}{0pt} % Remove default whitespace before longtable \setlength{\LTpost}{0pt} % Remove default whitespace after longtable \setlength{\tabcolsep}{0pt} % No spacing between table columns % Environment to hold a new list of entries \newenvironment{entrylist}{ \\begin{longtable}\[H\]{l l} }{ \\end{longtable} } \newcommand{\entry}[4]{% First argument for the leftmost date(s) text, second is for the bold entry heading, third is for the bold right-aligned entry qualifier and the fourth is for the entry description \\parbox\[t\]{0.25\\textwidth}{% 17.5% of the text width of the page \#1 % Leftmost entry date(s) text }% &\\parbox\[t\]{0.75\\textwidth}{% 82.5% of the text width of the page \\textbf{#2}% Entry heading text \\hfill% Horizontal whitespace {\\footnotesize \\textbf{\\textcolor{black}{#3}}}\\\\% Right-aligned entry qualifier text \#4 % Entry description text }\\\\\\\\} % Command to output a separator slash between lists, e.g. ' / ' \newcommand{\slashsep}{\hspace{3mm}/\hspace{3mm}} in the main text it then looks like this: \begin{entrylist} \\entry {2013 -- 2017} {Master's Degree} {Another University Name} {\\lorem\\lorem\\lorem} \\entry {2014} {Postgraduate Diploma} {A University Name} {\\lorem\\lorem}== \\entry {2007 -- 2013} {Bachelor's Degree} {A University Name} {\\lorem\\lorem} \end{entrylist} submitted by /u/wontonbleu [link] [comments]

Hi everyone! I hope not to bother, but I have always struggled with LaTeX and even though I tried giving it another go I can’t seem to get any better. Apart from many tips I collected scrolling the sub, I would like to ask for help: I’m trying to make a small modification to an existing CV template but I can’t seem to figure out the way for the life of me. This is the template: “Simple Hipster CV” by Sarah Lang on overleaf. What I want to do is just remove the heading bar (the grey “Jack Sparrow - captain”) and have the paracol span the entire page. Can you help me understand how to do it and, most of all, why it should be done like that? Thank you all in advance 🥲🫡 submitted by /u/Ok-Quit-8288 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I’m just starting out with LaTeX and I’m running a MacBook Pro M4. I’d love some advice on which editors or tools are good for beginners—especially ones that work well on the newer Macs. I’m looking for something relatively easy to set up and use, with a good PDF preview and maybe some templates for basic stuff. Any beginner tips or personal recommendations for getting started are seriously appreciated. And what helped you avoid the usual rookie mistakes? submitted by /u/IchHebelBisEsWehTut [link] [comments]

Hi there, I made a macro that draws lines on the basis of intersections between two paths, but I want it not to crash when there are no intersections. However, \ifnum doesn't seem to work in my case. I guess, because when there are no intersections, the variable doesn't exist (not an integer to compare). How should I proceed? Sorry for the lack of a MWE here, but I think the answer should be straightforward with the snippet below that shows the not working if statement. Thanks! \newcommand*{\Drawverticals}[2]{ \draw [name intersections={of=#1 and #2, name=i, total=\t}] \ifnum\t>0 \foreach \s in {1,...,\t}{ (i-\s |- {{(0,0)}}) -- (i-\s |- {{(0,1)}}) }; \fi } submitted by /u/eegsynth [link] [comments]

I have seen some LaTeX formulae extractors and PDF/Word converters in this subreddit, and most of them don't meet my requirements and perform not so well, some loses images and some loses format. I was just thinking if there is something that edits LaTeX files and automatically integrates journal templates. All I need to do is to provide a word/pdf version and a template from a format template (from journal or OverLeaf), and the editor first uses OCR or whatsoever to make it into an editable LaTeX file, then reads the template, at last generates a full set of LaTeX code and image files and with real time PDF preview. Does anyone knows if there are such editors?I really need help, thank you! submitted by /u/Mother_Pianist2312 [link] [comments]

Hi, I'm using LaTeX in R Markdown for the first time to develop a report. There was a request to use a specific font and font color for the text int he whole document. Is it possible to use - \setmainfont to set a specific font and color for the entire document? I have the font downloaded and stored in a folder named "Fonts" inside my directory. I have both the standard version of the fond and the italicized version of the font. Both are saved as .ttf. The requested color of the font is given as a hex code (#013047). If this is possible, then can you please give me an example of how to write this statement? Thank you! Edit: Solved! Here's how I did it after installing the .ttf file to my PC's font library: header-includes: - \usepackage{fontspec} - \setmainfont{Plus Jakarta Sans} - \usepackage{xcolor} - \definecolor{mycolor}{HTML}{013047} - \color{mycolor} submitted by /u/djn24 [link] [comments]

My paper currently has many hyperreferences between the main section and supplement. For example, "Proof of Theorem 1" is a reference to "Theorem 1" in the main text, along with instances of equation references or references in the main text to lemmas that only appear in the supplement. These will all break when I separate the document. Although there are easy workarounds to get hyper-references to work with external documents (like the 'xr' package) or other hacks with .aux files, I don't think this will work with the journal I'm submitting to. We're at the publication stage, not peer-review, hence these issues now matter. I need two self-contained .tex files for the main section and the supplemental section. According to my .aux file, I have 167 'newlabels' in total, a subset of which (somewhere between 20-50% if I had to guess) are soon to be cross-document. (Citations by contrast are not a problem, since I can just refer to the same .bib file) What are my options? I could simply go through this manually, probably 3 hours of work, I'm just wary of potentially making mistakes. (It's the proofreading that would take much longer) I would like something systematic that I could apply to my 'original', unseparated text. If I must do this manually, any tips to check for errors or to do so in a straight forward manner? For context, this is about a ~75-80 page paper. submitted by /u/AP9384629344432 [link] [comments]

Dear Community, how can I place floating figures in latex that do not break my layout (especially long ones). Specifically, when the text includes multiple short paragraphs or item lists. Hence, the text should just use the available space next to the image. If there is a line break, I should simply be a line break next to an image, if there is a paragraph stretching the whole line, it should be split to two lines (or three if the image is wider) For example to do this better: tex \begin{wrapfigure}{r}{0.5\textwidth} \centering \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{figures/figure.jpg} \caption{A lot of text to explain what is displayed.} \label{fig:figure} \end{wrapfigure} Thank you very much in advance for your support! submitted by /u/WhyNot7891 [link] [comments]

I wanted to ask if I could render a TikZ graphic or a LaTeX table in Word? I know I could render them as a pdf, convert to png and insert in that way, but it makes the text in a graphic un-selectable (unlike \includegraphics for the original pdf graphic). Is there an external software where one could do that, similar to IguanaTex for Powerpoint? submitted by /u/alibaba613 [link] [comments]

​Hello everyone, I know many of us love writing in LaTeX but sometimes have to collaborate with colleagues who use MS Word. Moving complex equations over is often a pain. To make this easier, I built a small online tool called MD2MathML. It's a Markdown previewer that renders LaTeX math. The cool part is you can just right-click on any formula in the preview pane, and it copies the MathML to your clipboard. You can then paste it directly into Word, and it shows up as a native, editable equation. Link: https://md2mathml.uuuu.site/ It's completely free and runs in the browser. Hope some of you find this useful for your workflow. Feedback is welcome! submitted by /u/Alternative-Match594 [link] [comments]

I have started using latex in vscode so I can version control my work with git. I have run into a problem where these extra files get made - I am guessing they are for the construction of the pdf, but aren't getting deleted. I have looked around but haven't found an answer that I can understand what I need to do to fix the issue, just a one line fix that only works if I know what I am doing, and I really don't lol! Could I get some advice on how to fix this?

Not a mod. But I was hoping to raise awareness that if you post a question that gets an answer then other people also benefit from that exchange. We've all googled a LaTeX question and found an old answer, and been glad it is there. Some people lurk here, picking things up over time. I'm not sure why so many people delete exchanges. There are good reasons to delete things sometimes, but asking for a clarification on a technical point does not seem, at least to me, to be one of them. The only other thing I can think is that those folks think that their question is clogging up the stream. I was hoping with this post to convince them that they are mistaken, and to leave it in place. In particular, if the answerer spends 15 mins on that answer and you delete the question, then you've been not too kind back to the person who was kind to you. submitted by /u/JimH10 [link] [comments]
