After updating miktex today I get the message Undefined control sequence. \mathemptydisplaymode in the luabidi.sty. I removed miktex completely and installed it, the same result. Could you please help me?

I am creating a beamerposter with linguistic examples in expex with a custom font (libertine). I originally wrote most of it using pdflatex but have to switch to lua or xetex now. However, when I do so, the spacing within the examples changes drastically. Simply loading fontspec has the same effect, so it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the font specifically. Loading neither libertine nor fontspec produces the same spacing as pdflatex. \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{beamerposter} % loading either of these increases the spacing within expex's (cf. second picture) %\usepackage{fontspec} %\usepackage{libertine} \usepackage{expex} \begin{document} \begin{frame} \pex \a \begingl \gla text// \glb gloss// \glft `transl'// \endgl \xe \ex \begingl \gla text// \glb gloss// \glft `transl'// \endgl \xe \end{frame} \end{document} pdflatex with libertine: lualatex with libertine (same spacing with xetex and/or fontspec): lualatex without libertine or fontspec:

I want to pose a question to resolve the issue described in https://stackoverflow.com/a/32463868/32395400, by simplicial partitioning.

Under normal circumstances BibLaTeX uses the same coordinating conjunction "and" for two authors that may have their names in one script (Latin, for now) and also to join two translator names that could have their names in another (Cyrillic in this example). You may change the scripts above to any other pair and the problem remains the same. This has the unfortunate consequence of placing a pair of names in English joined by a Russian conjunction in the text as seen here: generated by the simple MWE: \documentclass{article} \begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{isaac.bib} @BOOK{isaacson:en, author = {Isaacson, Eugene and Keller, Herbert Bishop}, title = {Analysis of Numerical Methods}, publisher = {Dover Publications}, address = {Mineola, New York}, year = {1994}, langid = {english}, } @BOOK{isaacson:ru, author = {Isaacson, Eugene and Keller, Herbert Bishop}, title = {Анализ численных методов}, author-ru = {Э.

Have another to be used with the translator names (и) or inside the record, that is mostly in Cyrillic The russian.lbx file (as all others I know of) seems to have only one coordinating conjunction. and = {{и}{и}}, Is there a way to separate them, or define a new one, to be used in the bibliographical tags?

My code snippets: \renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{\scshape\chaptername\ \thechapter. #1}{}}% \renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\scshape\S\thesection. #1}}% worked just fine in TeXLive 2022 (using amsbook format in LaTeX), but in TeXLive 2026 the section heads do not appear at all. I gather this is due to the changes in the way headers are handled now. Can you suggest a modern modification I can make to get section heads to appear? fancyhdr did nothing for me. EDIT: OK.

We shall now see that we can associate to each smooth ($C^3$) arclength-parametrized curve $\alpha$ a natural ``moving frame" (an orthonormal basis for $\mathbb R^3$ chosen at each point on the curve, adapted to the geometry of the curve as much as possible). We begin with a fact from vector calculus that will appear throughout this course. Suppose $f, g: (a,b)\to\mathbb R^3$ are differentiable and satisfy $f(t)\cdot g(t)=\text{const}$ for all $t$. Then $f'(t)\cdot g(t) = -f(t)\cdot g'(t)$. In particular, $$\|f(t)\|=\text{const} \quad\text{if and only if}\quad f(t)\cdot f'(t)=0 \quad\text{for all }t\,.$$ What distinguishes a circle or a helix from a line is their curvature, i.e., the tendency of the curve to change direction.

I have been looking into switching my lecture presentations from Beamer to ltx-talk for the automatic tagging functionality. For frame titles, the default behavior does not vertically center the text in the colored header/banner. Here is a minimum working example (most recent release of MacTeX). % !TEX TS-program = lualatex \DocumentMetadata{tagging=on} \documentclass{ltx-talk} \EditInstance{header}{std}{ background-color = blue!50, color = white, } \author{John Doe PhD} \title{An interesting title} \institute{Interesting Conference} \begin{document} \begin{frame} \maketitle[framestyle = wallpaper] \end{frame} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Frame title not vertically centered in colored header} Some text \ldots \end{frame} \end{document} Does anyone know how to achieve a frame title that is vertically centered in the header/banner when using ltx-talk?

I am using exam clas with liguistix package to create an exam paper in Marathi. As English has base line, the Devanagari script used for writing Marathi has head-line or Shiro-rekha (ꣻꣻꣻ). As in english the space for an answer is provided using an \hrulefill command which is at the position of base line of Latin characters, I wan to use Shiro-rekha for providing answering space for Marathi text. I can type the shiro-rekha character many times (like this: ꣻꣻꣻꣻꣻꣻꣻꣻꣻꣻꣻꣻꣻꣻꣻꣻꣻꣻ) to fill the space. But it will take time and will be unevenly filled. Is there any way to use this shiro-rekha character and get filled it like a hrulefill?

First I tried to set the main font to Helvetica using \usepackage[scaled]{helvet} with \renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault}, but it didn't set the sans-serif font to Helvetica - the document was now in CM Sans Serif. I then switched to XeLaTeX and tried the following code for fontspec, but now when I save the document, after a few seconds it gives me the error in the image along with "Recipe terminated". Then if I reload the window after those errors appear (I use VSCode), the PDF is updated with whatever text I added anyway as if there was no error. Just still in CM Sans Serif instead of Helvetica. I have Helvetica installed on my computer, I can find it in C:\Windows\Fonts. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec, lipsum} \setmainfont{Helvetica} \renewcommand\familydefault{\sfdefault} \begin{document} \lipsum[1-10] \end{document}

I'm currently writing my thesis in LaTeX and I'm dealing with a lot of E/Z isomers. I'm using \chemnum to label my compounds and I already figured out a way to replace the usual chemnum sublabels with custom ones (1a, 1b to 1E 1Z). The problem is the standard nomenclature for labelling these isomers is E-1, Z-1. Is there a way to reverse the order in which chemnum displays my compound label from <label><sublabel> to <sublabel><label>?

I am typesetting a Hebrew book using XeLaTeX with reledmac (multiple footnote series) and polyglossia+bidi for RTL support. The Problem I need footnotes to be: Rendered Right-to-Left (Hebrew text) Able to split across pages when they exceed the available space These two requirements conflict with each other in the current setup. What I've Tried Without footgroupX override: If I don't define a custom \footgroupX, the footnotes render Left-to-Right despite \bhookgroupX{\setRTL} and \beforeinsertingX{\setRTL} being set. The hooks affect the text direction within each note, but the overall block is still placed LTR. With footgroupX override using \beginR...\endR: If I define: \expandafter\def\csname footgroupA\endcsname#1{% \csuse{bhookgroupX@#1}\csuse{notefontsizeX@#1}% \setbox0=\box\csname footins#1\endcsname% \hb@xt@\hsize{\beginR\box0\endR\hss}% }% This makes the footnotes RTL, but: \box prevents page splitting (all footnotes are placed in a single unbreakable box) \beginR...\endR causes a ! Missing } inserted error at \endnumbering The footnotes overflow massively (400+ pt) because they can't split With \unvbox instead of \box: Using \unvbox should allow splitting, but combined with \beginR...\endR, the group opened by \beginR gets separated from its \endR at page breaks, causing the same Missing } error. With \setRTL + \unvbox (no \beginR): \expandafter\def\csname footgroupA\endcsname#1{% \bgroup\setRTL% \csuse{bhookgroupX@#1}\csuse{notefontsizeX@#1}% \unvbox\csname footins#1\endcsname% \egroup}% This still produces Missing } and the footnotes display LTR.

I have been trying to understand what is behind this warning: Package biblatex Warning: Patching footnotes failed. (biblatex) Footnote detection will not work. which is produced by, for example, this code: % !TeX program = lualatex \DocumentMetadata{ uncompress, lang=en, tagging=on, pdfstandard=UA-2, pdfstandard=A-4f, tagging-setup={math/setup={mathml-SE,mathml-AF}, extra-modules={verbatim-mo, verbatim-af}} } \documentclass[12pt]{report} \usepackage{setspace} \usepackage{biblatex} \begin{document} Example. \end{document} Searching on this forum for similar issues, I am led to believe this has to do with the (re)definition of \@footnotetext.

In other words, if I remove either the \DocumentMetadata or setspace then I no longer get this warning. (I don't know if this is worth mentioning, but for what it's worth, I originally also use hyperref in the document where I found this issue-- its inclusion seems to have no bearing on this behavior).

How to use IL3 encoding? IL3 is for languages like Esperanto or Maltese? And the same for the encoding CS? If I specifically want to demonstrate this encoding and how it's used? I know there's XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX but this is not what I'm talking about. EDIT: It appears that some of you don't know what IL3 is, and to be honest... I don't really know either. I was able to find very little information about this. because of mention of Esperanto and Maltese, it appears this was somewhat inspired by the ISO Latin-3 encoding, but whether it is actually the same or a different variation, I have no idea

Please help me to include a header and footer in the meetingmins class. I want to right-align a logo, and have page x of y at the bottom of the page. In addition, I want the logo on the first page only. I wish the page numbers to be on all pages. Thank you for any time you spend on this. Here is a MWE from the meetingmins package documentation: \documentclass[11pt]{meetingmins} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{fancyhdr} % Remove header line (optional) \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} % Add space so content doesn't overlap header \setlength{\headheight}{90pt} \setlength{\headsep}{20pt} % Meeting info \setcommittee{Project Team Alpha} \setmembers{Alice Smith, Bob Johnson, Charlie Lee, Dana White} \setdate{April 8, 2026} \newcommand{\meetingstart}{10:00 AM} \newcommand{\meetingend}{11:30 AM} \newcommand{\setlocation}{Conference Room A} \begin{document} \maketitle \section{Call to Order} The meeting was called to order at \meetingstart. \section{Attendance} \textbf{Present:} Alice Smith, Bob Johnson, Dana White \textbf{Absent:} Charlie Lee \end{document}

This seems like a task which should have an answer somewhere out there, but I'm having trouble finding it. I am trying to align a nested enumeration in ConTeXt so that the inner level is offset from the outer level. I am using alternative=left, but the inner numbers remain flush with the outer numbers regardless of distance, width, and margin. I would appreciate any advice on which options to test or which manuals to consult for a more detailed understanding. % Define the primary level \defineenumeration[outer] [ text=, alternative=left, width=1em, margin=1em, distance=1em, ] % Define the nested level \defineenumeration[inner] [ text=, alternative=left, width=2em, margin=2em, distance=2em, within=outer ] \starttext \startouter This is the outer enumeration (Level 1). \startinner This is the inner enumeration (Level 2). I need the numbers here to be shifted right. \stopinner \stopouter \stoptext

While I know that I can use % to comment out a line of code, I would like to get the same result (i.e. non-compiling text) in the middle of a block of text, like this (the brackets are here just to show the example): Blabla blabla bla bla bla [some non-compiling comments] bla bla blabla blab I don't want to write something like the following (i.e splitting the text paragraph): Blabla blabla bla bla bla % some non-compiling comments bla bla blabla blab Is it possible? I guess that I'll need to use some non-compiling macro, like \nc{} but I would prefer not to use something like it. In Mathematica, we have the ability to insert non-compiling codes with (* non-compiling text *)

Consider the code: \documentclass[12pt]{book} \usepackage[paperwidth=6.00in,paperheight=9.00in,top=.5in,bottom=.5in,left=.75in,right=.5in]{geometry} \textheight=7.25in \voffset=0.35in \usepackage{lipsum,enumitem} \begin{document} \pagestyle{empty} \begin{enumerate}[label={(\Roman*.)},itemindent=1em,leftmargin=0em] \item \lipsum[12] \item \lipsum[12] \item \lipsum[12] \item \lipsum[12] \item \lipsum[12] \end{enumerate} \end{document} which produces the output: I would like to reduce the width of the enumerate items by say, a factor of .75; however, when I tried embedding the enumeration within a minipage environment, there is no pagebreak. QUESTION: How may I adjust the width of the displayed items in the enumerate environment? Thank you.

I’d like to include the skull emoji 💀 in a document compiled with pdfLaTeX but with colors similar to how it displays on my device in other contexts. I can get a skull with fontawesome, but it’s not quite the same: \documentclass{scrartcl} \usepackage{fontawesome5} \begin{document} \faSkull \end{document} creates a skull like which is black/white inverted compared to how my device normally shows 💀, where the skull is white, and the eye sockets are black. I cannot change to LuaTeX because what I am compiling is like, super large. I also tried something along the lines of \contourlength{0.5pt} and \contour{black}{\color{white}\faSkull} but that did not work well. Can anyone help get 💀 with black eye sockets on a white skull or something close to it? Thanks!

Does anyone know a way to "overlap" two disjunction (or conjunction) symbols? Almost looking like a "W". It is sometimes used in infinitary logic!

experimenting with groff output, i found the following warning in the grodvi man page: Bugs DVI files produced by grodvi use a different resolution (57,816 units per inch) from those produced by TeX. Incorrectly written drivers which assume the resolution used by TeX, rather than using the resolution specified in the DVI file, will not work with grodvi. I used to work with either 180dpi and 300dpi resolutions on TeX output; but to tell the truth, I think I forgot what the "resolution" in this context means. What is the "resolution" of TeX, if not 57 (decimal comma or thousand marker?) 816 units per inch? How how do I adjust my drivers to generate pk fonts in the default sizes for grodvi? My dvi driver reports the following in the logs (edited for space): Opening f:\progs\groff\dict.dvi (1 pages) Opening cmbx10 at 300 dpi from \progs\pkfonts\lj_base.fli: OK Opening cmr10 at 241 dpi from \progs\pkfonts\241\cmr10.pk: FAILED Opening cmr10 at 220 dpi from \progs\pkfonts\220\cmr10.pk: FAILED Opening cmr10 at 264 dpi from \progs\pkfonts\264\cmr10.pk: FAILED Opening cmr10 at 201 dpi from \progs\pkfonts\201\cmr10.pk: FAILED Opening cmr10 at 289 dpi from \progs\pkfonts\289\cmr10.pk: FAILED Opening cmr10 at 183 dpi from \progs\pkfonts\183\cmr10.pk: FAILED Opening cmr10 at 317 dpi from \progs\pkfonts\317\cmr10.pk: FAILED Opening cmr10 at 167 dpi from \progs\pkfonts\167\cmr10.pk: FAILED Opening cmr10 at 347 dpi from \progs\pkfonts\347\cmr10.pk: FAILED Opening cmr10 at 153 dpi from \progs\pkfonts\153\cmr10.pk: FAILED Opening cmr10 at 380 dpi from \progs\pkfonts\380\cmr10.pk: FAILED Opening cmr10 at 139 dpi from \progs\pkfonts\139\cmr10.pk: FAILED Opening cmr10 at 416 dpi from \progs\pkfonts\416\cmr10.pk: FAILED Cannot open font cmr10 at 241 dpi; 1 font files are open [etc] [1] TeX \special{papersize=8.500in,11.000in} ignored TeX \special{color gray 0} ignored So it is clear to me that the driver is finding the title font at 300dpi, magstep 2 (1.244 times larger than regular design) iirc of the body cmr10 241dpi.

The following code snippet works, but I'm looking for a more elegant solution. Perhaps one using an inverse tree environment. \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} Problem: Find the next number in the following sequence:\\ 7 \quad 10 \quad 15 \quad 22 \quad 31...\\ Solution:\\ \begin{tikzpicture} \node (a) at (0,0) { 7}; \node (b) at (0:0.75) {10}; \node (c) at (0:1.50) {15}; \node (d) at (0:2.25) {22}; \node (e) at (0:3.00) {31}; \node [red] (f) at (0:3.75) {42}; \node (g) at (0.50,-1) { 3} edge [<-] (a) edge [<-] (b); \node (h) at (1.25,-1) { 5} edge [<-] (b) edge [<-] (c); \node (i) at (2.00,-1) { 7} edge [<-] (c) edge [<-] (d); \node (j) at (2.75,-1) { 9} edge [<-] (d) edge [<-] (e); \node [red] (k) at (3.50,-1) {11} edge [red] [<-] (e) edge [red] [->] (f); \node (l) at (1.00,-2) {2} edge [<-] (g) edge [<-] (h); \node (m) at (1.75,-2) {2} edge [<-] (h) edge [<-] (i); \node (n) at (2.50,-2) {2} edge [<-] (i) edge [<-] (j); \node [red] (o) at (3.25,-2) {2} edge [red] [<-] (j) edge [red] [->] (k); \node (p) at (5,-3.5) {}; \draw [->,red] (0,-3.5) .. controls +(up:1cm) and +(left:1.5cm) .. node {}(g); \end{tikzpicture} \setlength{\parskip}{0pt} \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} Compute the difference between each pair of numbers in the list.\\ Observe the pattern (every odd number beginning with 3, in this case.) \end{document}

See the following example: % !TEX TS-program = pdflatex \DocumentMetadata{lang=en,pdfstandard=ua-2,pdfstandard=a-4f,tagging=on,tagging-setup={math/setup=mathml-SE}} \documentclass{article} \usepackage[OT1]{fontenc} \usepackage{kantlipsum} \renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault} \begin{document} \section{Start} \kant[42] \end{document} As-is (with TexLive 2026) uses Computer Modern (cmss*.pfb), but if I remove the \usepackage[OT1]{fontenc} line, it uses Computer Modern Super (cm-super/*.pfb), hence I guess is then using T1 fontenc, and if I additionally remove the \DocumentMetadata line, then I am back to Computer Modern, the expected default in pdflatex. Was that a conscious decision? I could imagine that some tagged pdf features would not work (or not work well) with OT1 (i.e. more than generally with pdflatex)? If intentional, is it documented somewhere? I could not find it via search engines and looking at a few documents, but maybe is somewhere? Side note: The position of the text also moved in the example when activating tagged pdf (independently of fontenc).

I am using circuitikz to make 2 small diagrams with spring mass. I'd like to put a frame around each.

All examples I saw says to put frame around the whole tikz picture. But that is not what I want. May be \node[draw=black, inner sep=5pt]{...}; does not work inside circuitik?

To use CTAN one has to know what one is looking for. I would like to browse a list for packages, and (hopefully) say to myself, "that is something that may help me now or in the future". Then I would like to know what it does (usually omitted, along with the syntax, from the code). As an example: I would like a list of all the font syles (especially the ones that I never heard of) so that I can use fntsample to print out the characters. If one types "font styles" in CTAN there are only 28 hits, omitting fonts that I know exist. (I now see from answer that tug.org/FontCatalogue will work for fonts). That still leaves the myriad of other packages

The following code snippet draws a box in box for a heading. I would like some help to improve the code so that only the top right corner of the bottom box is rounded. Most of the values are currently hardcoded, as this forms part of a larger code that calls the macro \tikzspecial defines keys that are passed as options. The height of the blue top box should be 3cm, I seem to be about a couple of mm out, any help with that I would also appreciate. \documentclass[10pt,twoside]{book} \usepackage[bottom=2cm,top=2cm, left=3cm, right=4cm,showframe]{geometry} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{kantlipsum} \ExplSyntaxOn \makeatletter \NewDocumentCommand{\tikzspecial}{s O +m}{ %% First band \begin{tikzpicture}[remember~picture,overlay,inner~sep=0pt,outer~sep=0pt] \draw[draw=none,fill=cyan,outer~sep=0pt,inner~sep=0pt, xshift={-2cm},yshift=-\dimexpr3cm+10pt] (current~page.north~west) rectangle (\paperwidth,2.5cm); \end{tikzpicture} %% Second band with rounded corners \begin{tikzpicture}[remember~picture,overlay] \node~at~(current~page.north~west)~[yshift=-\dimexpr3cm+5.4pt,xshift=-10pt,%.3 klls corners on left anchor=south~west,inner~sep=10pt, outer~sep=0,white,fill=black, draw=none,rounded~corners=10pt,align=left, text~width=\textwidth]{\leftskip10pt \large \sffamily\LARGE\bfseries \IfBooleanTF{#1}{}{\thechapter.\space} #3\par }; \end{tikzpicture} \vspace*{4\baselineskip} \par \@afterindentfalse \@afterheading } \makeatother \ExplSyntaxOff \begin{document} \parindent=2em % simulate chapter \stepcounter{chapter} \tikzspecial*{Some Special Layout\\ Format} \kant[1-9] \end{document}

I'm currently trying to graphically represent Feynman's technique. Specifically, I have the function rad(atan(sqrt(2-x*x)))/(1+x*x) which is being parametrized as rad(atan(t*sqrt(2-x*x)))/(1+x*x). I managed to create the graph for the function, \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz,pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat=1.18} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ axis lines = center, axis on top, view={50}{30}, xlabel={$x$}, ylabel={$t$}, zlabel={}, xmin=-2, xmax=2, ymin=-2, ymax=2, zmin=-2, zmax=2, tick label style={font=\tiny} ] \addplot3[ surf, shader=faceted interp, faceted color=black!60, opacity=0.85, samples=22, samples y=18, domain=-1.4:1.4, domain y=-2:2, ] {rad(atan(y*sqrt(2-x*x)))/(1+x*x)}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} But I'm having trouble figuring out how to a) highlight the specific line along the function that represents rad(atan(sqrt(2-x*x)))/(1+x*x) and b) getting the axis lines to be above and below the 3d surface when the surface is above and below.

I would like to plot the following function in LaTeX using TikZ or pgfplots: \[ y = x^{2/3} + 0.8 \cdot \cos(kx) \cdot \sqrt{3 - x^2} \] The domain is \( - \sqrt{3} \leq x \leq \sqrt{3} \). I need to create a nice graph where: The curve looks smooth I can easily change the value of \( k \) (number of oscillations) The modulated amplitude (the \( \sqrt{3-x^2} \) part) is clearly visible I have tried basic \addplot but I have problems with the fractional power \( x^{2/3} \) and with making the cosine oscillation look good.
