- pgf-PeriodicTable: monochrome (black/white) Periodic table - problem with radiation symbol and 'Ra' shorthandby cis on April 4, 2026 at 6:57 am
I want to create a perfect monochrome Periodic table (for black and white printing, etc.). 1/2. Instead of the colored "radioactive symbol" (which seems to be set hard-coded by the package), I'd like to use an asterisk '*' or a simple text character. 2/2. Secondly, the term 'Ra' in the legend must also be replaced by the star (or the other symbol used). Note: The aforementioned "radioactive symbol" seems to be (hard-coded) retrieved from the file /texmf-dist/tex/latex/pgf-periodictable/pgfPT_radio_symbol.pdf → which is located near the package file. One could therefore "hack" the problem by placing a PDF file with the same name in one's working directory. However, I'm wondering if there's a more elegant solution. PS: Since I'm not yet very familiar with the package, general suggestions for improvement are welcome. My progress so far: \documentclass[paper=a4, paper=landscape]{scrarticle} \usepackage[margin=11mm,showframe=false,]{geometry} \usepackage{lmodern} \usepackage{pgf-PeriodicTable} \begin{document} \pgfPT[ cell font=\sffamily,% normal LaTeX font (avoids font warnings of pgf-PeriodicTable) csSolid, show title=false, %Z list={1,...,36,87,88},% test Z backcolor=white, Z color=black, Z font=\footnotesize\bfseries, %CS render mode=fill and outline,% default CS outline color=black,% Outline always black CS solid=black, % Solid: black CS liquid=gray,% Liquid: gray CS synt=white,% Synthetic: white ("inline color") CS gas=lightgray,% Gaseous: white (only outline visible) light gray name color=black, name font=\fontsize{5.125pt}{6.125pt}\selectfont,% default: \tiny but seems to large Ar color=black, capitalize element names=true,% please! period label color=black,% Color of period numbers (left) group label color=black,% Color of group numbers (top) %legend radio color=red,% test MNM line width=1.4pt,% default: 0.8pt MNM line color=black,% default: red!80!black %show MNM line=false,% alternative ] \end{document}
- Fix large spacing when using align with casesby Your neighbor Todorovich on April 4, 2026 at 6:06 am
I have a simple piece of code: \begin{align} \nabla_x L(x, \mu) = \nabla f(x) + A^\top \mu & = 0\\ Ax & = b \end{align} which generates However if I put a cases around it \begin{align} \begin{cases} \nabla_x L(x, \mu) = \nabla f(x) + A^\top \mu & = 0\\ Ax & = b \end{cases} \end{align} then a very large white space appears What gives? And is there a fix to this?
- How to create a four-line style arrow and apply the style of a native LaTeX font? (include⟰⟱)by 2023 Siri on April 4, 2026 at 4:43 am
Example: ⭅⭆⟰⟱ The size of the 4-line arrow should be the same as the font size in mathematical format. Can only be used as a LaTeX mathematical format command Summary of requirements: The size must not differ from the original LateX symbols; it must maintain the native style.
- tikz, multipart node: how to define height of empty partby Zarko on April 4, 2026 at 3:21 am
My question is very similar to this question which unfortunately hasn't answered yet. in one comment is mentioned, that multi part node has a bug. Do anyone know, if meantime was this bug fixed or know some work around it? \documentclass[border=1mm, 11pt]{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{shapes.multipart} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[ MPNV/.style args = {#1/#2}{%, rectangle split parts=#1, text width=#2, shape=rectangle split, draw, rectangle split empty part height=7mm, rectangle split part fill={white, cyan!50}, inner sep=1mm, outer sep=0mm, align=center, }, ] \node [MPNV=2/7mm] {\nodepart{one} \rotatebox{90}{some test} \nodepart{two} }; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} As temporary solution I insert in the second node part the rule \rule{0mm}{5mm}. However, I would be much happier, if I can add some fix to my document preamble. BTW, I use recent version of tikz: 3.1.11a from August 29, 2025.

I bet some people would be asking why would I convert wordx to LaTeX, bcz I just moved to Linux and I don't have Microsoft Word, let alone on Google Docs doesn't have a feature to write maths equations, so I only have LaTeX as my best option. I hope you don't mind helping me with that. Thank you in advance. What I meant by "not flowing naturally" is like this: The document has a weird format. The text should filled up the whole first left column and then it goes to the next second right column, after all filled up, I want it to automatically to get next page. Honestly, this is a generated code, so I realise that it has no two columns format (I don't know how to do that). and I need a help with the footer to match with the original data.

- pgf-PeriodicTable: Adjust font alignment (and color scheme)by cis on April 3, 2026 at 6:37 pm
First of all: I've noticed that the search for pgf-PeriodicTable isn't currently yielding any significant results. I've created a new tag and hope to vitalize this wonderful package with this post; and I look forward to seeing many more great PTEs in the future. I want to create a very simple periodic table, similar to the one you find with a Google search (see image below); ideally, it should also use this color scheme for the text and background. I'm having a few problems with pgf-PeriodicTable: · How do I ensure that Z (in a slightly larger font) is perfectly left-aligned? · And that Ar is perfectly right-aligned? Since I am not very familiar with the package, suggestions for improvement of a general nature are welcome. My current approach: \documentclass[paper=a5]{scrarticle} \usepackage[margin=5mm, showframe=true, ]{geometry} \usepackage[en]{pgf-PeriodicTable} \begin{document} \pgfPTbuildcell(6,3)% [(1;1-2;Z), (1;2.5-3;Ar),% not sure but I set this (2-4;1-3;CS),(5-6;1-3;name) %,(4.75;1-3;radio)% do not know where to place best yet ] \pgfPTpreviewcell[1.8] \noindent\pgfPT[ % Common =========================== show title=false, show legend=false,% true does not work cell width=7.25mm, cell height=7.25mm, %back color scheme=Wikipedia, % Z =============================== Z font=\tiny\bfseries, Z backcolor=none, Z color=black, % Ar =============================== Ar font=\fontsize{4}{4}\selectfont, Ar precision=1, % names ============================ capitalize element names=true,% please! name font=\fontsize{3.5}{4}\selectfont, ] \end{document}
- Spurious Horizontal Line in longtable Documentby Masroor on April 3, 2026 at 6:26 pm
Please take a look at this MWE. Well, I understand that an MWE should be much leaner. But this issue is challenging my experience. I cannot find the reason for the line at the top of the second page. I was unable to identify the cause and decided to keep all the packages involved. I need to use all of them. (This is part of a huge project where the documents are generated using a dotnet based application using the data pulled from a PostgreSQL DB.

I'm running miktex on a Lenovo Thinkpad. I was told I haven't checked for updates in a long time, so I updated it. Then when I click on a .tex file, I get an error message: miktex-texworks This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. When I try to unistall the application so that I can reinstall it, I get the same error message. How can I fix this?

- How to correctly write \hom_{k\text{-alg}}?by Gargantuar on April 2, 2026 at 3:17 pm
How do I write \hom_{k\text{-alg}} correctly? Semantically, this is incorrect since -alg is not text, so it shouldn't be in the normal text font but in math font. Using \mathrm however is also wrong as the - sign will become a minus sign, which has wrong spacing. What is the best way to write this? If possible, I want to avoid stuff like \mathchardef\hyph="2D and use \hyph instead of - (this is meant for a beginners course). Edit: As there is a lot of debate and confusion, here an MWE (with the "correct" command in one of my commands). \documentclass{article} \usepackage{newtxtext} \usepackage{amsmath} \newcommand{\alg}[1]{\mathord{#1\!\operatorname{-alg}}} \begin{document} \[ \hom_{k\text{-alg}}, \hom_{k\mathrm{-alg}}, \hom_{\alg{k}} \] \end{document}
- exam class: How to create a solution space that automatically spans multiple pages?by Dimitrios ANAGNOSTOU on April 2, 2026 at 9:04 am
I am using the exam class to create tests and would like to provide students with a solution area that can span multiple pages if needed. The built-in environments such as solutionbox, \fillwithlines, or \makeemptybox work well for fixed-height spaces, but they do not naturally extend across page breaks (or I failed to do so...). What I would like is: a solution environment or command, that provides a large writable area, and automatically continues onto the next page(s) if necessary (e.g., like a long answer space). Here is a minimal example: \documentclass{exam} \usepackage{hyperref, graphicx} \begin{document} \begin{questions} \question[3] In no more than one paragraph, explain why the earth is round. \begin{solutionbox}{1in} The solution \end{solutionbox} \question[10] Long question requiring more space. % Desired: a solution space that can span multiple pages \begin{solution} % large writable area for students \end{solution} \end{questions} \end{document} I tried using solution, but I am not sure how to turn it into a multi-page writable area for students (not just for typeset solutions). What is the best way (within the exam class or with additional packages) to create a solution space for students that can automatically split across multiple pages?
- How to correctly parse tokens and preserve command-argument structure in expl3?by Alexander Rodríguez on April 1, 2026 at 6:49 pm
I am parsing input in expl3 token by token. I want to wrap characters like a or + as [a], [+], while preserving commands such as \textbf{...} and \textit{...}. The problem is that my current approach separates the command from its argument, so something like \textbf{text} is no longer preserved as a single structure. How can I correctly parse the input so that commands keep their arguments, while still processing the content recursively? \documentclass[8pt]{article} \usepackage[ paperwidth=28cm, paperheight=4cm, margin=0.5cm ]{geometry} \usepackage{xparse} \ExplSyntaxOn \NewDocumentCommand{\Brackets}{m} { \brackets_process:n {#1} } \cs_new_protected:Npn \brackets_process:n #1 { \tl_map_inline:nn {#1} { \brackets_case:n {##1} } } \cs_new_protected:Npn \brackets_case:n #1 { \tl_if_single:nTF {#1} { \tl_if_head_is_group:nTF {#1} { % Es un grupo \BracketsGroup:n {#1} } { % Es una lista \token_if_cs:NTF #1 { \BracketsCommand:n {#1} } % Es un comando { \token_if_space:NTF #1 { [\c_space_tl] } { \BracketsToken:n {#1} } } % Es un caracter } } { { \BracketsGroup:n {#1} } } } \cs_new_protected:Npn \BracketsGroup:n #1 { \brackets_process:n {#1} } \cs_new_protected:Npn \BracketsCommand:n #1 { #1 } \cs_new_protected:Npn \BracketsToken:n #1 { \str_case:nnF {#1}{{$}{$}{^}{^}{_}{_}}{ [#1] } } \ExplSyntaxOff \begin{document} \Brackets{Text \textbf{textbf \textit{textit} text } text {text {group}} text $ x^{1+1}+2x+4$ $\frac{1}{2} \sqrt[3]{x}$ text. {{Text}} } \vspace{5mm} Expected:\\ [T][e][x][t] \textbf{[t][e][x][t][b][f][ ]\textit{[t][e][x][t][i][t]}[ ][t][e][x][t]}[ ][t][e][x][t][ ]{[t][e][x][t][ ]{[g][r][o][u][p]}}[ ][t][e][x][t][ ]$ [x]^{[1][+][1]}[+][2][x][+][4]$[ ]$\frac{[1]}{[2]} \sqrt[{[3]}]{[x]}$[ ][t][e][x][t][.][ ]{{[T][e][x][t]}} \end{document} Expected behavior:
- Is there a straightforward way to break and align an equation on more than one 'level'?by Simon on April 1, 2026 at 4:46 pm
There is an equation that I would like to break and align as follows: ( in the second line and - in the third line should be aligned the same way that [ in the first line and + in the second line are, which requires aligning on more than one 'level' if level is the correct term. Intuitively, it would work as shown in the MWE, just with && not commented out: & for the first 'level' and && for the second one. (The concept could be extended by &&& for the third one and so on.) \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{align} E_\mathrm{kinetic}=\frac{1}{2}&\left[m_\mathrm{1}\left(v_\mathrm{1}-v_\mathrm{2}\right)^2\right.\notag\\ &\left.+m_\mathrm{2} % && \left(v_\mathrm{3}+...+...+...+...+a\omega_\mathrm{1}\right.\right.\notag\\ % && -\left.\left.b\omega_\mathrm{2}-...-...-...-...-v_\mathrm{4}\right)\right] \end{align} \end{document}

- circuitikz, how to prettify connection between transformer and connecting lines?by Zarko on March 31, 2026 at 10:52 pm
I would like to reproduce the following image using the circuitikz package: So far I was able to write the following MWE: \documentclass[border=1mm, 11pt]{standalone} \usepackage{circuitikz} \usetikzlibrary{positioning} %---------------------------------------------------------------% \begin{document} \begin{circuitikz}[ node distance = 3mm and 7mm, N/.style = {draw, minimum height=13mm, text width=#1, font=\small\linespread{0,84}\selectfont, align=center}, ] \ctikzset{inductors/coils=6, quadpoles/transformer core/inner = 1.0, quadpoles/transformer core/width = 0.5, quadpoles/transformer core/height= 0.68} \node (n1) [N=13mm] {SPE\\ PHY}; \node (n2) [transformer core, rotate=90, transform shape, right=of n1, anchor=base] {}; \node (n3) [transformer core, right=of n2.south] {}; \node (n4) [N=23mm, right=of n3] {common mode\\ termination}; %--- \draw[semithick] (n2.north east) -- (n2.north east -| n1.east) (n2.north west) -- (n2.north west -| n1.east) % (n2.south east) |- (n3.north west) (n2.south west) |- (n3.south west) % (n3.north east) -- (n3.north east -| n4.west) (n3-L2.midtap) -- (n4.west) (n3.south east) -- (n3.south west -| n4.west); %-------------------- \end{circuitikz} \end{document} which produce: As you can see, connections between transformers and connecting lines are not as on image, which I want to reproduce. Is there a (if possible simple) way to improve these connections?
