How to create a recipe in the LateX workshop of the form: pdflatex -> asy -> pdflatex?

I have the following code to create a tikzpicture of a labelling algorithm. However, I am currently not satisfied with the way it looks right now. Every looks to big and to much spread out. How can I create a more condense but still clear version of it. This is my code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{amsmath} \usetikzlibrary{positioning, arrows.meta, shapes.multipart, calc} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \lipsum[1] \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \begin{tikzpicture}[ scale=1, % --- STYLES --- node distance=2.5cm and 3cm, font=\sffamily\footnotesize, % Label Box labelnode/.style={ rectangle split, rectangle split parts=2, draw=black!80, rounded corners, fill=gray!5, align=center, inner sep=3pt, minimum width=2.1cm }, % Infeasible (MS Pruning) - Rot infeasible/.style={ labelnode, draw=red!80, fill=red!5, dashed }, % Dominated (History Dominance) - Lila dominated/.style={ labelnode, draw=violet!80, fill=violet!5, dashed }, % Optimal Path Node - Grün optimal/.style={ labelnode, draw=green!50!black, fill=green!10, line width=1pt }, % Edges worker/.style={-{Latex[length=3mm]}, blue!70!black, thick}, ai/.style={-{Latex[length=3mm]}, orange!80!black, thick}, optedge/.style={worker, line width=1.5pt, green!40!black}, prunededge/.style={-{Latex[length=3mm]}, red!70, dashed}, domedge/.style={-{Latex[length=3mm]}, violet!70, dashed} ] % --- ZEITACHSE --- % Verschiebung nach oben (y=7) und Skalierung x (Faktor 3.2) \draw[->, thick, gray] (0, 7) -- (10.5, 7) node[right] {Time $t$}; \foreach \x in {0,1,2,3} \node[gray] at (\x*3.2, 7.3) {$t=\x$}; % --- KNOTEN --- % t=0 \node[labelnode] (start) at (0,0) { \textbf{Start} \nodepart{second} $V=0$\\$\omega=0$ }; % t=1 % Worker \node[optimal] (t1_w) at (3.2, 2.0) { \textbf{W1} \nodepart{second} $V=3$\\$\omega=1.0$\\$h=[1]$ }; % AI \node[labelnode] (t1_a) at (3.2, -2.0) { \textbf{A1} \nodepart{second} $V=1$\\$\omega=0.3$\\$h=[0]$ }; % t=2 % PATH A: \node[optimal] (t2_ww) at (6.4, 3.8) { \textbf{W $\to$ W} \nodepart{second} $V=6$\\$\omega=2.0$\\$h=[1,1]$ }; % PATH B: \node[labelnode] (t2_aw) at (6.4, 0) { \textbf{AI $\to$ W} \nodepart{second} $V=4$\\$\omega=1.3$\\$\mathbf{h=[0,1]}$ }; % PATH C: \node[dominated] (t2_wa) at (6.4, -2.5) { \textbf{W $\to$ AI} \nodepart{second} \textit{Dominated}\\$V=4$\\$\omega=1.3$\\$\mathbf{h=[1,0]}$ }; % PATH D: \node[infeasible] (t2_aa) at (6.4, -4.5) { \textbf{AI $\to$ AI} \nodepart{second} \textit{Pruned}\\$h=[0,0]$ }; % PATH A+: W -> W -> W \node[optimal] (t3_www) at (9.6, 4.8) { \textbf{3 Workers} \nodepart{second} $V=9$\\$\omega=3.0$\\Target Met }; % --- Arcs --- % t0 -> t1 \draw[optedge] (start) -- (t1_w) node[midway, above, sloped] {W (+3)}; \draw[ai] (start) -- (t1_a) node[midway, below, sloped] {AI (+1)}; % t1 -> t2 \draw[optedge] (t1_w) -- (t2_ww) node[midway, above, sloped] {W (+3)}; \draw[ai] (t1_w) -- (t2_wa) node[midway, below, sloped, pos=0.3] {AI (+1)}; \draw[worker] (t1_a) -- (t2_aw) node[midway, above, sloped, pos=0.4] {W (+3)}; \draw[prunededge] (t1_a) -- (t2_aa) node[midway, below, sloped] {Violation}; % t2 -> t3 \draw[optedge] (t2_ww) -- (t3_www) node[midway, above, sloped] {W (+3)}; % --- DOMINANCE --- \draw[->, violet, thick] (t2_aw) -- (t2_wa) node[midway, right, align=left, font=\scriptsize, xshift=2mm] {\textbf{Dominance Check}}; % --- NOTES BEREICH UNTER DEM PLOT --- \node[align=left, text width=12cm, anchor=north west, font=\sffamily\small] at (-0.5, -5.5) { \textbf{Notes:}\\ }; \end{tikzpicture} \caption{Your caption here} \label{fig:your-label} \end{figure} \lipsum[2] \end{document}

In earlier versions (verified with v9.1) of the Astronomy & Astrophysics template, it was possible to remove the line numbers by \documentclass[desactivate]{aa}. However, in the current version (9.3) this does not compile. How do I fix this. A current version of the template with a some content can be found on overleaf. A MWE is here: \documentclass{aa} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \title{Astronomy \& Astrophysics \LaTeX\ template} \author{M. Example\inst{1}} \institute{nowhere} \abstract{no context}{aimless}{stupid method}{without results}{or conclusions} \maketitle \lipsum[1] \end{document} Note that line numbers are only printed if \maketitle is present.

In LuaLaTeX, is it possible to use babel (or anything else) to simulate some language-related OpenType features not defined in the font? I give an example of what I mean: Writing in ecclesiastical latin requires to put an acute accent on some vowels. On my Italian keyboard I've only the character é, thus typing á, í, ó, ú is quite inefficient. I would like to tell LaTeX that, inside an ecclesiasticallatin environment, whenever I type à, ì, ò, ù, it must be rendered as á, í, ó, ú. Thanks in advance.

Please note, I am not a very advanced user of Lyx (or Latex). I am trying to accomplish the following when I export the PDF document from Lyx. I want to have two Table of Contents (TOC) in my document. The first TOC, named "Brief Contents" should have only the Sections and Parts. I know this can be done using: \setcounter{tocdepth}{0} and \addto\captionsenglish{% \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Brief Contents}% } Right after the first TOC I want a detailed TOC, named "Detailed Contents" with Sub-Sections also. The issue is adding this second TOC with a different tocdepth and name. I am not sure how to accomplish this in Lyx. I have spent a lot of time trying to various things. But I have not been able to do this. There is a crude solution that might work. Generate two PDFs each one with different \setcounter{tocdepth}{0} and combine them. But I am hoping there is a better solution than manually having to generate two PDFs and combine them.

I compile with LuaLaTeX this quite simple code: \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont[RawFeature=+onum]{EBGaramond} \usepackage{fontsize} %\changefontsize[14.5pt]{10.9pt} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \lipsum \end{document} If I uncomment %\changefontsize[14.5pt]{10.9pt}, I'd expect the output to be slightly smaller; yet, in fact it's slightly larger. Without \changefontsize: With \changefontsize: Why? (I fear it's just some trivial oversight of mine...)

I am trying to write a macro to input a set of small text files into a larger file, in lualatex, but seeing some variances how the text is inserted in the main file. So far I prepared this: \documentclass[11pt]{report} \usepackage{amsthm} \usepackage{polyglossia} \setmainfont{STIX Two Text} \usepackage[ a4paper, margin=4cm, marginparwidth=50pt, ]{geometry} \newtheoremstyle{problemstyle}% name of the style to be used {\topsep}% measure of space to leave above the theorem. E.g.: 3pt {\topsep}% measure of space to leave below the theorem. E.g.: 3pt {}% name of font to use in the body of the theorem {0pt}% measure of space to indent {\bfseries}% name of head font {}% punctuation between head and body { }% space after theorem head; " " = normal interword space {\thmname{#1}\thmnumber{ #2}\textbf{\thmnote{ (#3)}}} \theoremstyle{problemstyle} \newtheorem{problema}{\textbf{Problem}}[section] \newcommand{\bp}[1]{\begin{problema}[#1] \input{#1} \label{#1}\end{problema}} \begin{document} \bp{Fa87}% \begin{problema}[Fa87] Prove that $\cos^p \theta \leq \cos p\theta$ for $0 \leq \theta \leq \pi /2$ and $0 < p < 1$. \end{problema} \begin{problema}[Fa87] Prove that $\cos^p \theta \leq \cos p\theta$ for $0 \leq \theta \leq \pi /2$ and $0 < p < 1$. \end{problema} \begin{problema}[Fa87] Prove that $\cos^p \theta \leq \cos p\theta$ for $0 \leq \theta \leq \pi /2$ and $0 < p < 1$. \end{problema} \end{document} ẁith the text of Fa87 to be exactly Prove that $\cos^p \theta \leq \cos p\theta$ for $0 \leq \theta \leq \pi /2$ and $0 < p < 1$. all of it to be processed with lualatex. The variance can be seen here: where the spacing after the entry that uses the command \bp is about twice as much as the spacing of all others, entered directly into the text. Observe that the text introduced by the command is exactly the same as the one directly in the main file. The problem seems to be related to the text getting closer to the end of the line, but I fail to gresp how to address it.

I am having a problem with a multipart rectangle. I give a MWE below. I understand that the max number of parts are limited to 20. Following this, I added definitions for twentyone (newbox\pgfnodeparttwentyonebox) and twentytwo (newbox\pgfnodeparttwentytwobox) and that works when the multipart rectangle is horizontal. But, when it is vertical, it does not show twentyfirst and twentysecond parts and the node height of twentieth entry is very high. Not sure how to fix this and would appreciate help \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{shapes.multipart} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \newbox\pgfnodeparttwentyonebox \newbox\pgfnodeparttwentytwobox \node[ rectangle split, rectangle split parts=22, draw, align=center, rectangle split part fill={ green!50,green!50,green!50,green!50,green!50, % dict dates green!50,green!50,green!50,green!50,green!50,green!50, yellow,yellow,yellow,yellow,yellow, % bitmaps yellow,yellow, yellow,yellow,yellow,yellow,yellow } ] (recSt) {% % Dictionary (dates) \nodepart{one} {2005-11-01}% \nodepart{two} {1998-05-01}% \nodepart{three} {2009-04-22}% \nodepart{four} {1998-11-01}% \nodepart{five} {2010-05-01}% \nodepart{six} {2022-09-01}% \nodepart{seven} {2021-03-18}% \nodepart{eight} {2011-01-01}% \nodepart{nine} {0216-07-01}% \nodepart{ten}{2013-01-08}% \nodepart{eleven}{2017-10-10}% % Bitmaps (one-hot) \nodepart{twelve} {10000000000}% \nodepart{thirteen} {01000000000}% \nodepart{fourteen} {00100000000}% \nodepart{fifteen} {00010000000}% \nodepart{sixteen} {00001000000}% \nodepart{seventeen} {00000100000}% \nodepart{eighteen} {00000010000}% \nodepart{nineteen} {00000001000}% \nodepart{twenty}{00000000100}% \nodepart{twentyone}{00000000010}% \nodepart{twentytwo}{00000000001}% }; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

\pgfmathparse{(1*2),(2+2),(sqrt(36))} yields defining \pgfmathresult as macro:->{2.0}{4.0}{6.00000} : \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \pgfmathparse{(1*2),(2+2),(sqrt(36))} \ttfamily \meaning\pgfmathresult \end{document} But this feature of processing a comma-separated list of ⟨expressions⟩ via \pgfmathparse in one go for obtaining a list of undelimited macro arguments seems not documented clearly/explicitly in pgfmanual.pdf. Precise syntax-rules for the quantity "⟨expression⟩", which is introduced and referred to in in pgfmanual.pdf, seem to be missing, too. So the question is: Can you rely on \pgfmathparse calculating all components of a comma-separated tuple of independent ⟨expressions⟩ in one go and via \pgfmathresult delivering the results as a tuple of undelimited macro arguments? (In section "96 Customizing the Mathematical Engine" of the TikZ & PGF Manual for Version 3.1.11a you find: For functions with more than nine arguments, or functions with a variable number of arguments, these macros are only defined as taking one argument. The public macro expects its arguments to be comma separated, for example, \pgfmathVariableArgs{1.1,3.5,-1.5,2.6}. Each argument is parsed and passed on to the private macro as follows: \pgfmathVariableArgs@{{1.1}{3.5}{-1.5}{2.6}}. However, this does not exactly refer to \pgfmathparse/\pgfmathresult...)

I made partial progress on this question thanks to two answers to this question. The first answer, by David Carlisle, provides some very useful diagnostic code, which I used. The second answer, by Matthew Leingang, talks about a similar error to what I got involving TikZ and in particular pgfid*. The solution that worked for Leingang is not relevant to my code because I do not use \tkzstyle. Since I know next to nothing about TikZ and use it only occasionally, I am hoping someone can help me find the cause of the warning. It took me a while to isolate the problem in this code for a (rather odd-looking) table. The table is just showing two balance sheets, with nonsensical filler text. In this code example the arrows are not properly placed, but this is just because I am using a different class file. When using the class file of the journal this is supposed to go into the arrows come out fine (and, importantly, I get the same error). \documentclass[pdftex]{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{arrows,through} \usepackage{nicematrix} \usepackage{multirow,array} \usepackage{ragged2e,booktabs} \makeatletter \def\Cline#1#2{\@Cline#1#2\@nil} \def\@Cline#1-#2#3\@nil{% \omit \@multicnt#1% \advance\@multispan\m@ne \ifnum\@multicnt=\@ne\@firstofone{&\omit}\fi \@multicnt#2% \advance\@multicnt-#1% \advance\@multispan\@ne \leaders\hrule\@height#3\hfill \cr} \makeatother \newcolumntype{M}[1]{>{\Centering\arraybackslash}m{#1}} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%% This code by David Carlisle addresses the warning %%% 'Label(s) may have changed...' %%% It causes the specific labels causing the problem %%% to be output in the log file: \makeatletter \def\@testdef #1#2#3{ \def\reserved@a{#3}\expandafter \ifx \csname #1@#2\endcsname \reserved@a \else \typeout{^^Jlabel #2 changed:^^J% \meaning\reserved@a^^J% \expandafter\meaning\csname #1@#2\endcsname^^J}% \@tempswatrue \fi} \makeatother %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{document} \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.2} \begin{table} \small \centering \begin{tabular}{wc{2.3cm} !{\vrule width 1pt} wc{2.3cm} M{2.5cm} wc{2.3cm} !{\vrule width 1pt} wc{2.3cm} } \multicolumn{2}{c}{}&&\multicolumn{2}{c}{}\\ \small{A} & \small{B} & & \small{C} & \small{D} \\ \Cline{1-2}{1pt}\Cline{4-5}{1pt} \tikz[remember picture]\node (AD) {\small{11111}}; \tikz[remember picture]\node (X) {\small{22222}}; & \tikz[remember picture]\node (LD) {\small{33333}}; \tikz[remember picture]\node (X) {\small{44444}}; & & \tikz[remember picture]\node (X) {\small{11111}}; \tikz[remember picture]\node (AC) {\small{22222}}; & \tikz[remember picture]\node (X) {\small{33333}}; \tikz[remember picture]\node (LC) {\small{44444}}; \\ \tikz[remember picture]\node (AD) {$+\qquad$ }; \tikz[remember picture]\node (X) {$-$}; & \tikz[remember picture]\node (LD) {$-\qquad$}; \tikz[remember picture]\node (X) {$+$}; & & \tikz[remember picture]\node (X) {$+\qquad$}; \tikz[remember picture]\node (AC) {$-$}; & \tikz[remember picture]\node (X) {$-\qquad$}; \tikz[remember picture]\node (LC) {$+$}; \end{tabular} \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, ->, >=stealth', shorten >= -0.3cm, shorten <= -0.3cm, line width=1pt, auto] \draw[thick, draw=black, bend right=15] (LD) to (AC); \draw[dotted, draw=black, bend right=20] (AD) to (LC); \end{tikzpicture} \caption{This is the table caption} \label{tab:table1} \end{table} \end{document} Any help debugging this code is much appreciated.

I have sectioning elements in my documents in bold smallcaps of various sizes. I was hoping to be able to achieve this with my theorems, remarks, etc. as well. However, while this works for the labels (i.e. "Theorem", "Definition", etc.) for some reason the numbers remain in upshape (although they are bolded). Is there some way to "smallcap" the number too? Here is a minimal (not) working example: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tgpagella} % Need a font with scshape \usepackage{amsthm,thmtools} \declaretheoremstyle[ headfont=\scshape\normalsize\bfseries, ]{definition} \declaretheorem[style=definition] {definition} \begin{document} \setcounter{definition}{2} % Difference is clear with 3 \begin{definition} Number is bold, but not \\smallcaps. Bold \emph{and} small caps: \textbf{\textsc{3}}. \end{definition} \end{document} The result is N.B. I've tried using the headformat key of declaretheoremstyle too, passing things like \textsc{\NUMBER}, but this doesn't seem to help. [Although it does work with \NAME.] N.B.B. I'm using thmtools for reasons I've omitted from this MWE, so if an answer is possible within the framework of this package that would be excellent. Of course, if it can be done internally in amsthm or ntheorem that would be fine too. On the other hand, even though it may be possible to simply write a whole theorem environment from scratch, I'm not at this point inclined to fix this (minor) issue in this way.

The following code: \{ \frac{m}{n} \} creates a fraction that is larger than the brackets: how do I fit the fraction inside the brackets?

I want to illustrate the different cases that can arise in a typical calculus course of functions of one variable. After searching a lot, I found a relevant question here. So, I am using the following code to plot a function for illustrating the various cases (local extremums, inflection and saddle points) along with the respective tangents. \documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]{standalone} \usepackage{pgfplots} \usetikzlibrary {intersections} \pgfplotsset{compat=1.18} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ width=12cm, height=7cm, axis x line=middle, axis y line=middle, xlabel={$x$}, ylabel={$f(x)$}, xmin=-0.08, xmax=1.3, ymin=-0.008, ymax=0.01, samples=300, domain=-0.08:1.3, clip=false, xtick=\empty, ytick=\empty, xlabel style={at={(ticklabel cs:1)}, anchor=west}, ylabel style={at={(ticklabel cs:1)}, anchor=south} ] % === Polynomial (The function) === \addplot[very thick, blue, name path=poly] {(1/16)*x - (3/8)*x^2 + (37/48)*x^3 - (21/32)*x^4 + (1/5)*x^5}; % ======================================================= % === Critical points (f'(x)=0) and Horizontal Tangents === % Points: (0.125, 0.0033045), (0.5, -0.0009115), (1, 0.0020833) \addplot[only marks, mark=*, blue] coordinates { (0.125,0.0033045) (0.5,-0.0009115) (1,0.0020833) }; % Tangent segment 1 (Horizontal) \addplot[red, very thick, domain=-0.075:0.325, samples=2] {0.0033045}; % Tangent segment 2 (Horizontal) \addplot[red, very thick, domain=0.3:0.7, samples=2] { -0.0009115}; % Tangent segment 3 (Horizontal) \addplot[red, very thick, domain=0.8:1.2, samples=2] {0.0020833}; % ======================================================= % === Inflection points (f''(x)=0) and General Tangents === % Points: (0.2673, 0.0015571), (0.7014, 0.0004592) % Slopes: m1 ~ -0.019, m2 ~ 0.0104 \addplot[only marks, mark=*, orange] coordinates { (0.2673056,0.0015571) (0.7014444,0.0004592) }; % Tangent segment 4 (Inflection 1) \addplot[green, very thick, domain=0.0673:0.4673, samples=2] {-0.019*(x-0.2673056)+0.0015571}; % Tangent segment 5 (Inflection 2) \addplot[green, very thick, domain=0.5014:0.9014, samples=2] {0.0104*(x-0.7014444)+0.0004592}; % Origin label \node[anchor=north west] at (axis cs:0,0) {\small $O$}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} But this require a lot of manual calculations on my own. Is there a way or package to accelerate such calculus visualisations? A big thank you!

(2nd picture from here) I was wondering if it's possible to create a 2D-image of a coil winding around a cylinder, similar to the example shown above, using a dash pattern. If so, how do I configure it? \documentclass[margin=5pt]{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[] \draw[] (0,-0.4) rectangle (5,0.4); \draw [decorate, decoration={coil, aspect=0.4, amplitude=5 mm, segment length=4mm, }, dash pattern=on 11mm off 8mm, dash phase=0mm ] (0,0) -- (5,0); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I thought I finally fixed a size issue, but when I wanted to fix a character and re-ran METAFONT, the dimensions are too big, and there is too much empty space. The results are similar to what I see here. I tried everything: define_pixels, removing hash marks, changing mode - NOTHING works. here is what I have: % strokeff.mf mode_setup; xoo#:=10pt; yoo#:=10pt; thick#:=8pt; define_pixels(xoo, yoo, thick); beginchar(0, 7*xoo#, 7*yoo#, 0); %H pickup pencircle scaled thick; draw (0*xoo#, 3*yoo#)--(6*xoo#, 3*yoo#); endchar; % more characters here, omitted beginchar(66, 0*xoo#, 0*yoo#, 0); %meant to be unused, just to test font pickup pencircle scaled thick; draw (0*xoo#, 0*yoo#)--(0*xoo#, 7*yoo#)--(7*xoo#, 7*yoo#)--(7*xoo#, 0*yoo#)..cycle; endchar; font_quad:=7*yoo#; font_normal_space:=7*xoo#; font_normal_stretch:=1*xoo#; font_normal_shrink:=1*xoo#; font_identifier:="strokeff"; font_coding_scheme:="FONT SPECIFIC" end and the .fd file: \DeclareFontFamily{U}{strokeff}{} \DeclareFontShape{U}{strokeff}{m}{n}{<-> strokeff}{}

I have defined a command called \defn which formats its argument in bold and creates an index entry for it. I use it when defining a term in the text of the document. Here's a MWE showing a simplified version of it: \documentclass{book} \makeindex \newcommand\defn[1]{\textbf{#1}\index{#1}} \begin{document} I can write \defn{Q~set} instead of \textbf{Q~set}\index{Q~set}. \end{document} The problem arises in examples like the one above where I have a ~ in the index entry. (My publisher's house style is not to hyphenate this particular term and use a non-breaking space: it's not my choice.) My document, like the MWE above, has a mixture of instances of \defn and direct uses of \index where I don't want the bold formatting. However, they come out differently in the .idx file, meaning I get two identical looking index entries instead of one. This is what the MWE's .idx file looks like: \indexentry{Q\nobreakspace {}set}{1} \indexentry{Q~set}{1} I still want to be able to use \index directly as well as my \defn command. How do I fix the command or otherwise fix the code so that the two commands produce the same index entry? I've also tried changing the definition of \defn to use the TeX's \def built-in, in case this was a weirdness of how \newcommand works, but to no effect. I'm using XeLaTeX, but I've tested it in LaTeX which does the same.

It's not very easy to describe the case in the title, I could only show the example: \documentclass[tikz]{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}% % \draw[blue] (0.0,.5cm) -- +(1,0);% \node[anchor=south west,inner sep=0pt,outer sep=0pt,fill=red,text=white] at (0,0){test test};% \end{tikzpicture}% \end{document} However, if the extra line is \drawed: \documentclass[tikz]{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}% \draw[blue] (0.0,.5cm) -- +(1,0);% \node[anchor=south west,inner sep=0pt,outer sep=0pt,fill=red,text=white] at (0,0){test test};% \end{tikzpicture}% \end{document} It gives: Noted the left blank area, appeared from the \draw[blue] (0.0,.5cm) -- +(1,0); . That looks like that \draw would extend the bounding box. Learning from here: Adding overlay is okay, but it would make the bounding box smaller, and is not elegant to eliminate the left blank area. My Question is as below: Is that elegant method to make \draw not extend bounding box around? How is this behavior documented? Is this the expected behavior that TikZ regards?

Consider the epigraph macro in the following MWE: \documentclass[11pt,twoside]{report} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[tt=false]{libertinus} \usepackage[french]{babel} \usepackage[stretch=50]{microtype} \usepackage[letterpaper,left=1.25in,right=1in,top=0.5in,bottom=0.5in,includeheadfoot,headheight=15pt]{geometry} \usepackage{epigraph} \renewcommand{\textflush}{flushleft} \setlength{\epigraphrule}{0pt} \newcommand{\epig}[2]{\epigraphhead[1in]{\epigraph{\itshape\centering{#1}}{\itshape{#2}}}} \renewcommand{\epigraphflush}{center} \setlength{\epigraphwidth}{\textwidth} \begin{document} \chapter{Some title} \epig{ An epigraph. } Some text \end{document} My main text have many chapters, each one with an epigraph from that epig macro. For testings and various other reasons, I need to compile with and without the epigraphs. I can turn them off by adding % in the code, but it's tedious to do and to remove. So is there a way to turn the macro off by adding a simple piece of code to the macro definition, while leaving all the \epig{...} in the whole code (without having to add/remove %), and without getting compilation issues (warnings and errors)?

This manual seems to say that this package does the arithmetic for you and only gives results that are correct and complete. I don't know how anyone who teaches mathematics fails to see what's wrong with that before they notice anything else. What if you want to write something like this: \begin{array}{rccccccccccccc} \bullet\bullet & ) & \bullet & \bullet & . & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ & & \bullet & \bullet \\ {} \\ & & & 3 & 0 \end{array} etc., and fill in some, but far from all, of the digits that follow, and then ask a question of students on an exam? You are concealing some of the digits from them and expecting them to answer the question with only the partial information given. Everybody does that every day, except those who don't teach things like this. Or what if you want to insert a digit that's wrong, and either ask examinees to identify the error or ask them why it's wrong? Apparently you can't do that with this package. How is it to be done?

The ibrackets package doesn't seem to work when I use \underset or \overset. \[ ]-\infty\underset{\substack{\uparrow \\ \frac{\pi}{2n}}}{,} a] \text { oppure } [a\underset{\substack{\uparrow \\ \frac{\pi}{2n}}}{,} \!+\infty[ \] I would like your opinion on how to adjust the spacing in this case as well, when I have a long text that should remain in normal style. \[ -\infty<\underset{\substack{\uparrow \\ punto \\di \\massimo}}{\frac{\pi}{2n}}<a \] I would prefer not to write the \text command three times.

Based on the documentation, I would expect the two rectangles generated by this code to look identical: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \pgfdeclarehorizontalshading{myshadingA} {1cm}{rgb(0cm)=(1,0,0); color(2cm)=(green); color(4cm)=(blue)} \begin{tikzpicture} \pgfuseshading{myshadingA} \shade [shading=myshadingA] (-2,-1) rectangle (2,-3); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} However, this is clearly not the case. What am I doing wrong and/or misinterpreting in the documentation?

I was courious to know how many line of expl3 code is in the LaTeX kernel. I run a python script (code below) to count the number of lines in each dtx file in the base directory of the LaTeX2e repository. The result I got is taht around 17% of the code is written in expl3. The breaking of this number for each file is below. I guess there are some improvements to be done: Don't count documentation lines. Include files in other directories (requires, tools ...) Use the striped tex files instead the dtx files? Some other? Can someone improve this estimate? (Apologize the use of python for these; I am force today to use a Windows machine, and I can't use some awk and shell tools to this work easier.
