I don't know what I'm doing wrong, here, but I'd like to style the \writetolist item in the TOC to be a different color than black. I realize I can add the color to the text content itself but that does not change the color of the page number and dots/periods. The \writetolist reads that it inherits from \setuplist; and I think I've tried all the color options in \setuplist without success; and it appears the color option is supposed to apply to the entire entry. If the color=MyBlue line in the \setuplist of the entire TOC is uncommented, then everything in the TOC is color MyBlue. But that doesn't work in just the \writetolist declaration. What am I doing wrong or failing to do? Thank you. \setupcombinedlist[content][list={chapter},criterium=all,alternative=c,] \setuplist[chapter][ stopper={.}, distance=5mm, numberalign=flushright, numbercommand={\sc}, textcommand={\sc}, % color=MyBlue, style={\setupinterlinespace[2.5ex]\sc}] \definecolor[MyBlue][r=.2,g=.2,b=.7] \starttext \completecontent[criterium=all] \writetolist[chapter][ location=here, color=MyBlue, textcolor=MyBlue, numbercolor=MyBlue, pagecolor=MyBlue]{}{% {Write to List Line}% } \startchapter[title={Something significant}] Paragraph \stopchapter \stoptext

I have just started using the package quantikz and created my first "quantum circuit" diagram \begin{equation} \begin{quantikz} \lstick{$\ket{\psi}$} & \gate{A} & \gate{B} &\gate{C} & \qw \end{quantikz} \end{equation} However, I am now struggling to produce the following circuit: I tried the following code but it doesn't seem to work \begin{quantikz} \lstick{|0\rangle} & \gate{A} & \multigate{1}{B} & \qw & \gate{D} & \qw \\ \lstick{|1\rangle} & \qw & \ghost{B} & \multigate{1}{C} & \gate{E} & \qw \\ \lstick{|1\rangle} & \qw & \qw & \ghost{C} & \gate{F} & \qw \end{quantikz} Any help in generating that diagram would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to make such a nice bracket like in the picture? \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb} \newcommand{\Z}{\mathbb{Z}} \begin{document} \begin{align*} a\!\in\!\Z\mid b\!\in\!\Z &\left\{ \begin{aligned} &\Leftrightarrow\left\{ \begin{aligned} \pm a &\mid \mp b\\ ac &\mid bc:\forall c\in\Z \end{aligned}\right.\\ &\Rightarrow\left\{ \begin{aligned} a\mid bc:\forall c\in\Z\\ |a|\le |b|\lor b=0 \end{aligned}\right.\\ &\land\left\{ \begin{matrix} a=0 &\Rightarrow& b=0\\ b\mid a &\Rightarrow& a=\pm b\\ b\mid c &\Rightarrow& a\mid c \end{matrix}\right. \end{aligned}\right. \end{align*} \end{document}

My question is almost completely identical to the extremely popular question How to restrict width of tcolorbox according to the length of the text it contains Except that the top answer does not solve my problem in that my tcolorbox contains math, e.g., $\begin{align*} f & = ma \\ & = x^2 - x^3 \end{align*}$ As such, when using the hbox solution as provided in the answer, and using a box that looks like this: \usepackage[breakable, most, skins]{tcolorbox} \newtcolorbox{mybox}{ enhanced, colframe=black, boxrule=0.5pt, arc=2mm, left=6pt,right=6pt,top=4pt,bottom=4pt, boxsep=3pt, hbox (<---- hbox from linked question) } I receive the following error: Error Package amsmath Error: \begin{aligned} allowed only in math mode. \end{frame} What is the workaround to this problem?

In a recent LaTeX document, I've had a weird behavior with pythontex : the value I get with \py{variable_name} wasn't correct. After some research, the problem seems to be related to the \text{} amsmath command. Below is a short example illustrating this. I can avoid the problem by not using \py{} inside \text{} but I wonder if this could be considered as a bug. Thanks for your answers. \documentclass[12pt,french,fleqn]{article}% \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}% \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}% \usepackage{babel} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{pythontex} \begin{pycode} a=2 b=5 \end{pycode} \begin{document} % \py{b} outside \text{} : OK $a=\py{a} \text{\quad{} et \quad{}} b=\py{b}$ $a : \py{a}$ $b : \py{b}$ % \py{b} inside \text{} : not OK $a=\py{a} \text{\quad{} et $b=\py{b}$}$ $a : \py{a}$ % here one gets the value of 'b' instead of 'a' $b : \py{b}$ \end{document}

I am trying to add some space at the left of each subsection of my document as shown in the code below. Is there a way to obtain the same result without manually adjusting the width each time I create a subsection? I tried with \renewcommand{subsection} but I can only change the title doing so. Minimalist example: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{changepage} \parindent=0pt \begin{document} \section{This is a section} It should be at the left margin of the page. \begin{adjustwidth}{1cm}{2cm} \subsection{This is a subsection} There should be some space between the text and the margin. \end{adjustwidth} \section{This is another section} I want the spacing to be automatic for each subsection of the document without having to write \textit{begin/end adjustwidth} around each subsection. \end{document} Compiled minimalist example:

This code produces the table I'm expecting with fully expandable copying: % same as \ltx@\ReturnAfterFi \long\def\ReturnAfterFi#1\fi{\fi#1} % expandable copies % #1=number, #2=text \def\xcopies#1#2{% \ifnum#1>0 #2% \ReturnAfterFi{\expandafter\xcopies\expandafter{\the\numexpr#1-1}{#2}}% \fi} \def\hundredtable{% \vtop{\offinterlineskip \global\count255=1 \everycr{\noalign{\hrule}}\tabskip0pt \halign{\strut \vrule ##&& \global\advance\count255 by 1 \hbox to 2.5em{\hss##\hss}\vrule\cr \xcopies{10}{\xcopies{10}{& \number\count255}\cr}\crcr}}} \hundredtable But an error occurs if I put a space after the \number command in the code block above, as shown here: ... \xcopies{10}{\xcopies{10}{& \number\count255 }\cr}\crcr}}} I thought the space would be optional. I've tried \relax and it, too, produces an error, with TeX saying the \ifnum doesn't complete. I suspect the \number command with the register is checking if it should multiply what follows and is therefore expanding the \ReturnAfterFi. But the space would seem to solve this, not cause it. Can someone explain the expansion error here?

I am using a template based on the document class scrbook to write my thesis. The default font family is sans-serif (?) and I wanted to change it to Latin Modern Serif: \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{lmodern} \renewcommand{\familydefault}{\rmdefault} This does not change anything. Inside \begin{document} I put \rmfamily. Does not change anything. Then I tried using a makro: \newcommand{\changefont}[3]{ \fontfamily{#1} \fontseries{#2} \fontshape{#3} \selectfont} and call it with \changefont{\rmdefault}{m}{n}. Does not change anything. So the last thing I did: \renewcommand{\sfdefault}{\rmdefault} And this did the trick. Is this supposed to work like this? I am using pdftex coming with Miktex 25.12 on Windows. Thanks in advance for reply and insights! EDIT: The template I am using is this one provided by a prof at my university: https://github.com/valentin-schwind/frauas-thesis-template/blob/master/latex/Thesis.tex

I'm trying to use the zref-clever package in LaTeX to reference multiple figures in a compact, readable way. I want the output to: Merge consecutive figure numbers with a dash (-) Separate non-consecutive numbers with commas Never use "and" Work for any order of figure labels MWE \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{float} \usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref} \usepackage{zref-clever} \begin{document} % Example of referencing figures \zcref{fig:figA, fig:figB, fig:figC, fig:figE, fig:figF} % figures 1-3, 5-6 \zcref{fig:figB, fig:figA} % figures 1-2 \zcref{fig:figD, fig:figA} % figures 1, 4 \zcref{fig:figA, fig:figB, fig:figC, fig:figE, fig:figG} % figures 1-3, 5, 7 \begin{figure}[H] \caption{Caption} \label{fig:figA} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[H] \caption{Caption} \label{fig:figB} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[H] \caption{Caption} \label{fig:figC} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[H] \caption{Caption} \label{fig:figD} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[H] \caption{Caption} \label{fig:figE} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[H] \caption{Caption} \label{fig:figF} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[H] \caption{Caption} \label{fig:figG} \end{figure} \end{document}

I am using LaTeX with the cleveref package and I want to reference multiple figures like this: \cref{fig:figA, fig:figB}. However, it only works if there is no space after the comma: \cref{fig:figA,fig:figB}. Is there a clean way to make \cref handle spaces after commas in multiple labels automatically? I only came up with one idea: \crefspace which removes the every space. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{float} \usepackage[colorlinks]{hyperref} \usepackage{cleveref} \begin{document} \begin{figure}[H] \caption{Caption} \label{fig:figA} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[H] \caption{Caption} \label{fig:figB} \end{figure} \begin{figure}[H] \caption{Caption} \label{fig:figC} \end{figure} \cref{fig:figA,fig:figB} % works \cref{fig:figA, fig:figB} % does NOT work \end{document}

Decades ago a colleague wrote a macro for type setting Attribute Value Matrices (AVMs) for me. It is simple and can be used for AVMs with a type (italics at the left top bracket) and AVMs without type. The problem is that sometimes the AVMs are very close to preceding text and I do not see why. The distance between "Perfekt" and AVM is perfect, but the distance between "Passive" and the AVM is not. Of course this could be fixed by inserting a newline with 2pts extra space, but I would like to understand the problem and have a solution for it. Apart from this the whole AVM should be some points further to the left, so that it aligns with the text. I guess this is due to the array package, which probably adds some space for nesting brackets. This is of course welcome but should not happen at teh outermost bracket. This is my code: \documentclass{scrartcl} \usepackage{langsci-gb4e} \usepackage{array} \newcommand{\nliste}[1]{% \mbox{$\langle$\upshape\normalfont#1$\rangle$}% } \newcommand{\eliste}{% \mbox{% $\left\langle\right\rangle$}% } \newcommand{\ms}[2][]{% \mbox{% \delimiterfactor=1000 \delimitershortfall=0pt\tabcolsep=0pt% $\left[% \begin{tabular}{>{\upshape\scshape}l@{}>{\hspace*{5pt}\normalfont\itshape}l} \if\relax\detokenize{#1}\relax\else \multicolumn{2}{>{\normalfont\itshape}l}{#1}% \\% \fi% #2% \end{tabular}% \right]$% }% \vspace{1mm}% } \newcommand{\onems}[2][]{% \mbox{% \delimiterfactor=1000 \delimitershortfall=0pt \tabcolsep=0pt $\left[% \begin{tabular}{>{\upshape\scshape}l} \if\relax\detokenize{#1}\relax\else {\normalfont\itshape #1}% \\ \fi #2% \end{tabular}% \right]$% }% \vspace{1mm}% } \newcommand{\menge}[1]{% \mbox{% $% \left\{% \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}\ignorespaces#1\end{tabular}% \right\}% $% }% } \newcommand{\str}{{\normalfont\textit{str}}}% xspace does not work with NP[\str] \begin{document} The second AVM is too close to the `P'. There seems to be too much space before the AVM. \eal \ex Perfekt:\\ \ms{ spr & \nliste{ NP[\str]$_i$ }\\ comps & \nliste{ NP[\str]$_j$ }\\ arg-st & \nliste{ NP[\str]$_i$, NP[\str]$_j$ } } \ex Passiv:\\ \ms{ spr & \nliste{ NP[\str]$_j$ }\\ comps & \eliste\\ arg-st & \nliste{ NP[\str]$_j$ } } \zl \eal \label{linking-konstruktionen} \ex\label{transitiv-Konstruktion} die \emph{Transitive Construction}:\\ \ms{ syn & \ms{ cat & v\\ voice & active\\ }\\ val & \menge{ \onems{ role \ms{ gf & obj \\ %$\theta$ & \textsc{da}$-$\\ \textsc{da} & $-$\\ }\\ }}\\ } \ex die \emph{Subject Construction}:\\ \ms{ syn & \ms{ cat & v\\ }\\ val & \menge{ \onems{ role \onems{ gf \textit{subj} } }}\\ } \ex die \emph{Passive Construction}:\\ \ms{ syn & \ms{ cat & v\\ form & PastPart\\ }\\ val & \menge{ \ms{ role & \ms{ gf & obl\\ da & $+$\\ }\\ syn & \textrm{P[von]/}zero\\ }}\\ } \zl \ms[test]{ feature1 & value\\ feature2 & value} \ms[word]{ feature1 & value\\ feature2 & value} \ms[passive]{ feature1 & value\\ feature2 & value} \end{document} Another problem is the type in the last three AVMs. It seems to take all the space that would be needed if there were letters like `t' that stick out towards the top. But this is not the case for words like "passive". Could such types be raised by some points (according to font properties)? Sorry, for asking two questions in one. I can split them up, but since it is the same code, I thought it might be better this way.

This is my first question here; please let me know if anything is missing. I am trying to center an interlinear gloss produced with the expex package. The center environment works correctly for normal text, but it has no effect on the gloss created with \begingl … \endgl. Here is a minimal working example: %!TEX program = xelatex \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{expex} \begin{document} \begin{center} vṛndāyai tulasī-devyai priyāyai keśavasya ca viṣṇu-bhakti-prade devī satyavatyai namo namaḥ \begingl \gla keśavasya ca // \glb {to Lord Keśava} and // \endgl \end{center} \end{document} I compile this using latexmk with the xelatex engine. The first two lines are centered correctly, but the gloss remains left-aligned. I would like the gloss to be centered in the same way as the text above it. How can I center an expex gloss so it looks similar to the lines above it? Here is the resulting output:

Consider the code: \documentclass{book} \usepackage{xcolor,graphicx,comment} \usepackage[abs]{overpic} \usepackage{tikz} \definecolor{cadmiumgreen}{rgb}{0.0, 0.42, 0.235} % 0, 107, 60 \definecolor{Gold}{RGB}{228,168,73} \usepackage{transparent} \begin{document} \thispagestyle{empty} \begin{center} \begin{tikzpicture} \clip (0,0) ellipse (4.25cm and 5.5cm); \draw[line width=5pt,Gold,fill=cadmiumgreen] ellipse (4.25cm and 5.5cm); \node at (0,0) {\includegraphics[scale=.37,clip, trim = 0 0 0 0]{example-image-a}}; \draw[line width=12pt,Gold!70!black] ellipse (4.25cm and 5.5cm); \end{tikzpicture} \end{center} \begin{comment} \begin{center} \begin{tikzpicture} \clip (0,0) ellipse (4.25cm and 5.5cm); \draw[line width=5pt,Gold,fill=cadmiumgreen] ellipse (4.25cm and 5.5cm); \node at (0,0) {\includegraphics[scale=.37,clip, trim = 0 0 0 0]{example-image-a}\llap{\texttransparent{0.5}{\color{blue!35}}}}; \draw[line width=12pt,Gold!70!black] ellipse (4.25cm and 5.5cm); \end{tikzpicture} \end{center} \end{comment} \begin{figure} [!htb] \centering \includegraphics[width=8em,height=11em]{example-image}\llap{\texttransparent{0.5}{\color{blue!35}\rule{8em}{11em}}} \end{figure} \end{document} which produces the output: Now, I would like to add a visible (bluish) transparent effect to the first (green oval) image. However, when I try to incorporate the effect shown in the second image into the first, nothing seems to happen; that is, when I run the MWE with the \begin{comment}, \end{comment} taken out---nothing seems to happen. QUESTION: How may I add a transparent (blueish in this case) effect to the first (oval) image? Thank you.

I modified cfr's previous answer to draw three evenly spaced vertical dots. A sketch of the desired look is as follows, where the blue line is imaginary (only there for illustrative purposes) and should not be actually drawn by TikZ. But, only one set of my custom vdots are drawn by TikZ. Any idea how to fix this? I tried appending the node names (e.g. (A)) with a counter ((A \the<counter_name>)) that is incremented with each invocation of vdots. But that didn't seem to work at all.

I am using the metre package for metrical notation of Latin text. Here is my MWE: \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{metre} \begin{document} \begin{metrica} \=a \={ae} \-a \-{ae} \end{metrica} \end{document} This produces: The ā and ă are fine, but as you can see, with both of the "ae"s, the diacritics don't stretch to fill the whole width of the letters. Is it possible to change this so that the symbol matches the width of however many letters are under it? I would like it to work for not just 2 letters, but ideally as many as possible, e.g. I want to be able to draw a macron or even a breve over "huius" when I mark it as being one single syllable and the diacritic should then stretch to be as wide as it has to be to cover the whole word. This is what it should look like (note the macron in the first line on "praebeo" and the brevia on "aut" and "improbae". Thanks in advance!

Consider the following example: \documentclass{article} % \usepackage{kpfonts-otf} \usepackage{unicode-math} \setmathfont{KpMath-Regular.otf} % \setmathfont{texgyrepagella-math.otf}[range={\prime}] \begin{document} \( E^{E'}_{E'} \) \( E' \) \end{document} The prime symbol in the subscript is clearly in the wrong position: I tried to replace this symbol by, say, \setmathfont{texgyrepagella-math.otf}[range={\prime}], but instead of replacing the symbol from another font, it makes the situation worse: Is there any way to fix this behavior, or at least be able to replace this symbol from another font for which the display is correct? (Perhaps other than contacting the author of kpfonts-otf, as he is quite busy recently...)

I want to plot something as below in an elegant appraoch, with a handy control of the angle and eccentricity: (the pattern is not important here) Here below, I make some calculations: \documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[line join=round] \def\R{5} \def\ell{0.9} \def\startAngle{40} \def\endAngle{90-\startAngle} \def\rhoo{\fpeval{\R*sind(45-\startAngle)/cosd(\startAngle)}} \def\Rx{\fpeval{\rhoo*(sqrt(1-(\ell^2*cosd(\startAngle)^2)))/(sqrt(1-\ell^2))}} \def\Ry{\fpeval{\Rx*(sqrt(1-\ell^2))}} \def\ellstartAngle{\fpeval{atand(\Rx/\Ry*tand(\startAngle))}} \filldraw[ fill=cyan!30, draw=cyan, very thick ] (\R,0) arc[start angle=0, end angle=\startAngle, radius=\R] { [rotate=-\startAngle] arc[start angle=-\ellstartAngle,end angle=180+\ellstartAngle,x radius=\Rx,y radius=\Ry] } arc[start angle=\endAngle, end angle=90, radius=\R] -- (0,\R) -- (\R,\R) -- cycle; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} But it gives some drawbacks of the ellipse's ending tip: With the following sketch: My calculation thoughts is as below: noted that \StartAngle is \theta, and \ell is the ellipse's eccentricity with \def\rhoo{\fpeval{\R*sind(45-\startAngle)/cosd(\startAngle)}}, I want to derive the radius from origin of the ellipse, that is the \rho's distance in the sketch with the formula of the radius length from origin of the ellipse, that is: I want to derive the x-radius of ellipse, that is a(\Rx) via \def\Rx{\fpeval{\rhoo*(sqrt(1-(\ell^2*cosd(\startAngle)^2)))/(sqrt(1-\ell^2))}} Then I calaulated the y-radius with \Rx and \ell via \def\Ry{\fpeval{\Rx*(sqrt(1-\ell^2))}} Finally, I calculate the geometric angle of sub-path rotation learning from this answer via \def\ellstartAngle{\fpeval{atand(\Rx/\Ry*tand(\startAngle))}} I really have no idea of any mathematical calculation issues or just my tikz's parameter misunderstandings. Could somebosy give me a hand? (Any approach with neat syntax are all welcome! My calculation above is just to draw this in one \path)

I am using the chemnum package together with chemstyle to label compounds in reaction schemes. By default, chemnum only provides a single global counter (cmpdmain), so compounds are numbered like: 1, 2, 3a, 3b, 4 … However, I need multiple independent numbering series, for example: literature compounds -> 1, 2, 3… target compounds -> T1, T2… intermediates -> INT1, INT2… supplementary information -> S1, S2… So effectively I want arbitrary named numbering series: \seriesBegin{EG} \replacecmpd{a} \seriesEnd \seriesBegin{INT} \replacecmpd{b} \seriesEnd and each series should continue later in the document without resetting.

I am working on a typographical project that consists in an English translation from a foreign language text with a commentary. I would like to organise the material as follows: on the left page (i.e., on even-numbered pages) the original text on the right page (i.e., on odd-numbered pages) the English translation The two texts should run independently of each other. In other words, the original text should scroll along the left pages and the English text along the right. Moreover I would like to have the commentary at the bottom of each page and this should also run independently of the rest, following, contrarily to the two previous points, the flow of each page, without distinction of even or oddness. I would like also an horizontal line separating the commentary from the rest, although at the moment I do not care whether the line on the left page is aligned with the one on the right. What packages should I use? Are there any templates already available with similar characteristics? Suggestions from the experts? Thank you in advance for your help. Later edit: with the help of the packages reledpar and reledmac I managed to address 1. and 2. Here is a minimal example with a solution I am satisfied with. \documentclass[12pt,twoside]{book} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage[T1{fontenc} \usepackage[series{},nocritical,noend,noeledsec,nofamiliar,noledgroup]{reledmac} \usepackage{reledpar} \usepackage{blindtext} \usepackage{geometry} \title{Test} \author{Cardinal Puff} \date{\today} \begin{document} \frontmatter \maketitle \mainmatter \begin{pages} \begin{Leftside} \selectlanguage{latin} \beginnumbering \pstart \blindtext[12] \pend \endnumbering \end{Leftside} \begin{Rightside} \beginnumbering \pstart \blindtext[12] \pend \endnumbering \end{Rightside} \end{pages} \Pages \end{document} However, in those packages I did not find an option to have a running bottom text independent of the upper part. In conclusion, 3. has still to be solved.

However, the code above is manually seperated, my \foreach version didn't get expected result: \documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]{standalone} % https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/656167/322482 \usetikzlibrary{bending,decorations.markings,arrows.meta,calc,spath3} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[>={Kite[inset=0pt,length=.32cm,bend]}] \filldraw[ thick,fill=gray!40, spath/save=curve, ] (4,0) node[below]{$R$} arc (0:180:4) node[below]{$-R$} -- (-3,0) arc(180:0:1) -- (1,0) arc(180:0:1) -- cycle; \foreach \pos in {.1,.4,.675,.9}{% \path[ draw=blue,tips=true,->, spath/clone={tmp}{curve}, spath/remove empty components={tmp}, spath/split at keep start={tmp}{\pos}, spath/use=tmp, ]; } \draw[-Stealth] (-5,0) -- (5,0) node[below]{$\Re$}; \draw[-Stealth] (0,0) -- (0,5) node[right]{$\Im$}; \path node[below] {$O$} (60:4) node[above=3pt] {$C_{R}$}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Edited: (I seemed to find some out-of-my-intuition features with spath3 and also reported at here, but actually turn out to be my fault of understanding the pos parameter of curve).

Find the intersections of circles automatically using pgfmath: \documentclass[tikz,border=1cm]{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \pgfmathsetmacro{\circleonex}{0} \pgfmathsetmacro{\circleoney}{0} \pgfmathsetmacro{\circleoner}{2} \draw (\circleonex,\circleoney) circle[radius=\circleoner]; \pgfmathsetmacro{\circletwox}{1} \pgfmathsetmacro{\circletwoy}{1} \pgfmathsetmacro{\circletwor}{1.5} \draw (\circletwox,\circletwoy) circle[radius=\circletwor]; % Goal: use a sequence of \pgfmathsetmacro to find both % intersections automatically, if they exist. % It should cleanly degenerate when they no longer coincide. \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I am trying to achieve exactly the same result as this question butwith LuaLaTex (so,possibly using Lua OTF handler): Can one set a specific character variant in xelatex for the word first letter only? EDIT: Another approach may be to use a Babel transformation, even though this would make the feature language-related. Any advice? I give here a (very) minimal working example: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont{EBGaramond12-Italic.otf} % I want to add: [CharacterVariant=5:0] only to initial v % probably using \directlua {fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature \begin{document} Ha visto un valvassore vivere come un valvassino invidioso che gridava evviva! \end{document}
