How would you make an input box for a website which takes math functions but displays Latex format during input Does it need some kind of function in JavaScript for example (an event listener or handler for input to make it Latex) submitted by /u/Technical_Log_7845 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I'm working on formatting a homework sheet in LaTeX/Overleaf. I am hoping to get the problems arranged into 6 rectangular blocks on the page (like a 2×3 grid) or a way that can make tthings compact in a small space (like to maximize each page), where each problem sits inside a bordered box so the layout is very space-efficient. This is purely formatting the math content is already written. I just need someone who understands LaTeX enviro ments/tables/minipages to reorganize it cleanly. I'm' not really good at latex and asking claude opus to do it didnt work since it couldnt unfortunately. I’m willing to pay a small amount via PayPal or Venmo for someone experienced who can help me make the document look polished, like if you can discuss fo rlike 10 minutes on a call and then format a few long docuemnts into this way, I can pay $25 If you're comfortable with Overleaf and good with layout, please DM me and I’ll send the project link. and pls comment. thank you. Thanks! submitted by /u/Kitchen-Ingenuity658 [link] [comments]

Hello everyone, for a whole host of reasons I want to move my project locally (reaching compile limit, want a setup that automatically compiles when .csv file has been changed, sync said csv file with a 3rd party cloud service etc.). Now, I have done this in the past, but it has been a long while. I am using xelatex due to fontspec. Aside from the wall of errors I am met with when trying to compile, I am having two main issues: 1: Hyperref. In my front page I have links to various sections in the document. On Overleaf, this compiles with no problems at all. When I try locally I get this error: LaTeX Warning: Hyper reference \sec:Sparkling' on page 1 undefined on input line 91.` Telling me the section has not been defined yet, but ofcourse it has not? How do I get around this? And why does it ust work flawlessly on Overleaf? For refference, it also does not create any links. For refference this is (the part in question on) line 91: \centering \hyperref[sec:Sparkling]{\Large Sparkling} 2: Background/Frame. I have a background, or rather frame on all pages except the first one defined as such in my preamble: \newcommand{\MyTikzLogo}{ \begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,draw=text,thin] \draw (1,0.5) -- (7,0.5) -- (7,20.5) -- (-7,20.5) -- (-7,0.5) -- (-1,0.5); \includegraphics[trim=25mm -10mm 0 0,height=25pt]{Symbols/logo.png}; \hspace*{50mm}\hyperref[sec:front]{\includegraphics[trim=0 -300 0 0,height=55pt]{Symbols/arrow.png}} \end{tikzpicture} } \SetBgContents{\MyTikzLogo} \SetBgPosition{current page.south} \SetBgOpacity{1.0} \SetBgAngle{0.0} \SetBgScale{1.0} And on the frontpage its just a frame defined in the text of the frontpage: \begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,draw=text,thin] \draw (0,-2) -- (7,-2) -- (7,18) -- (-7,18) -- (-7,-2) -- (0,-2); \end{tikzpicture} The front page works perfectly, but for the other pages, the fram is horribly missaligned, being set top right, way off where it should be (and where it goes on its own in overleaf) Any ideas of how to fix either of these issues? Please let me know if you need more information about this code. submitted by /u/16piby9 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, what’s the LaTeX/PGFPlots code needed to turn the second graph into the first one? I’m trying to create a progressive line chart where each line is stacked on top of the previous one, and the area under each segment is filled with color so you can clearly see the cumulative growth of the data. How can I achieve this in PGFPlots? submitted by /u/Lost_in_Camelot [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I’m a researcher, and while I love the control LaTeX gives me, I’ve been getting increasingly frustrated with the friction of the writing process. Specifically, I feel like existing tools (like Overleaf) haven't really kept up with modern AI capabilities or the actual workflow of collaborating with supervisors who might not be tech-savvy. I’m planning to build a tool to solve my own headaches, and I wanted to ask this community if these are problems you face too: Supervisor feedback: It’s hard for me to easily locate a supervisor’s feedback. Overleaf’s commenting system is clunky and easy to miss on the compiled PDF, so I often waste time hunting through side panels or the source to find what the comment refers to. I want comments to be visible where they matter highlighted on the rendered PDF and linked to the exact spot in the LaTeX source so I can jump straight to the change. Figure generation: I’d love a simple canvas inside the editor where I can sketch or describe a diagram and an AI give me a clean, editable SVG figure to refine something that gets me 80% of the way there without leaving the writing environment. Maybe implemented through TikZ. Finding citations: When I highlight a claim I want to back up, it’s a pain to search multiple sites and assemble a proper BibTeX entry. I want a tool that suggests candidate sources for a highlighted sentence, provides the citation (BibTeX/DOI), and shows how confident it is so I can quickly verify and cite. A big problem I see is that sometimes you have a bunch of secondary references to the point where you lose the paper that has the original claim or statistic you want to cite. Also it’s hard to see the literature landscape at a glance. I lose time making sure I didn’t miss seminal or related work. A simple interactive map of connected papers with short AI summaries would help me spot clusters, important classics, and recent trends without digging through dozens of search results. Context-aware autocomplete and a natural-language → LaTeX option (e.g., “table with 3 columns: name / value / error”) would save small but constant time and keep me focused on writing. An integrated grammar checker instead of relying on things like Grammarly. Is this something you would actually use? Is the pain of switching from your current setup worth these features? I’m trying to validate if this is a "just me" problem or a "community" problem and if there are alternatives that solve all of those issue. Any feedback is appreciated! submitted by /u/RutabagaIcy5942 [link] [comments]

After years of wrestling with LaTeX syntax during my PhD, I started building Lyra Editor - basically Google Docs but for LaTeX. You edit visually, it compiles to proper LaTeX/PDF behind the scenes. I tried to make it as much WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) as possible. I've been using it myself for a few months now and it's finally at a point where I think others might find it useful, even though it’s still an early version. Looking for early feedback from anyone who's interested in giving it a try. This is the link: www.lyraeditor.com . Would love to hear what you think - especially if you've dealt with LaTeX pain before. submitted by /u/GabDev1234 [link] [comments]

I have an image with a plot in it. I wanted to add a description of the plot after the caption or below it. I saw a few answers on various forums on the internet about this issue, but I am unable to add to it satisfactorily. I am unable to add the description after the caption, but I can add it below the caption. However, when I add the description below the caption, it isn't justified but centered, because I am using centering for the image. Does anyone know how to address this issue? Please let me know. submitted by /u/No_Appointment8535 [link] [comments]

I’m coursing engineering and need to maintain my researches organized at my website. So I made an project that takes HTML + BibTeX and outputs HTML with formatted references.

The minos style of the very pretty 'Form & Number' and other books created in LaTeX has been made available online here. https://preview.redd.it/9ns7uvizv76g1.png?width=1020&format=png&auto=webp&s=1c921aa87b0cab9f51f71f39a0cb0631fb62e423 See also https://mathstodon.xyz/@ajcain/115685444339649249 submitted by /u/badabblubb [link] [comments]

As the title alludes to, I like to work on my LaTeX documents across multiple computers. Historically, I have used overleaf, but I have moved institutions and no longer have access to Overleaf premium. That said, my lecture notes for the courses that I teach exceed the free compile time. I would like to begin moving away from Overleaf. It's a crutch I've been leaning on for far too long. The best intuition I have so far is to create a Git repository for all of my LaTeX code so that I can still work from multiple devices, but this feels like it might be too over-engineered. Has anyone else made this change? If so, how do you keep your documents updated across multiple devices? Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/DumbSpaceJunk [link] [comments]

Hi, I use AMC on a regular basis and I generally like it. However, I wonder if anybody here knows any better alternative. Maybe I am asking for too much but it would be great to have automatic linking for written names with the ones in a list. submitted by /u/marhaiden [link] [comments]

I switched to TexStudio from Overleaf recently. I do miss the autocomplete suggestions in Overleaf where you don't have to get the cases or even the order of the words in the label right for the autocomplete to suggest it. For example, if the label is "Def cusp aut form", I would like to have it suggested to me if I type in "def aut" or "Aut". Is there a way to configure TexStudio to do this? Or a plugin perhaps? submitted by /u/adityaghosh50 [link] [comments]

Every so often I see a question here about how to migrate out of Overleaf and I typically recommend using GitHub Codespaces, LaTeX Workshop in VS Code, etc., so the online/in-browser aspect is retained. This video shows how to get a setup like that going with minimal effort. This setup is also fairly straightforward to run locally in a VS Code dev container, though I don't get into that here. submitted by /u/Bach4Ants [link] [comments]

Hi all, I'm curious what other instructors out there who use LaTeX think about the various exam-writing package options from CTAN? I used to use LaTeX a lot more back in the aughts, and wrote a few exams using the "examdesign" package. It worked fine at the time, but it worries me a little that it doesn't seem to have been updated since 2006, and I'm a little worried it may break with a future LaTeX update if it's not being actively maintained. No disrespect to the author intended - I appreciate the effort and that it was shared freely. So I figured I'd see what else is available before I spend a lot of time re-learning one particular package. It looks like the "exam" package has similar functionality and has some extensions that go with it. I also see "eqexam" and "examz." Has anybody done their research on all of these packages and to decide which they prefer? Any thoughts appreciated - ease or use, or flexibility or requisite features that helped you decide are all things I'd be interested in hearing opinions on. submitted by /u/auntanniesalligator [link] [comments]

The project I'm doing for uni is the first time I'm using overleaf I'm writing a section on dummy encoding, and would like to demonstrate it with a table looking like the one I drew in the attached picture, but I have no idea on how to do this.

Can anyone suggest equation editors that can paste LaTeX code into LaTeX documents on the macOS? My work involves applied math. Used to be able to do it fast in MathType using keyboard shortcuts. But MathType has not kept up with 64 bit macs, and even since typing equations in native LaTeX format has been painful. I am planning to check out LyX but perhaps there are better options?

My Overleaf account still has free perks from the old ShareLaTeX referral program (extra collaborators, Dropbox sync, full history, etc.). If I buy an individual subscription and later cancel it, will those legacy perks still be there when my account goes back to the free plan? submitted by /u/sleepy-on-the-job [link] [comments]

Hi all, I really like the clean, Tufte style for LaTeX documents. On the other hand, I have never had the opportunity to see it applied to scientific articles by a publisher. I know about the MDPI layout, but MDPI doesn't use marginal figures. Does anyone know of any actual scientific journals (in any field) that use this layout for their published papers? submitted by /u/Opussci-Long [link] [comments]

I’ve heard Tufte-style documents might be good for this. Is it the best approach, or are there better LaTeX layouts for note-taking that keep everything readable and organized ? submitted by /u/agro_kid [link] [comments]

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]
