I am making arrays of numbers. How can I align them automatically by the one's digit? I understand that this won't work for arrays with math expressions in them, but I think it would be more legible for arrays which contain only decimal numbers. \documentclass{article} \begin{document} I want to align the numbers in the following array by the 1's digit, which I can't deem to accomplish using column specifiers. \[ \begin{array}{rr} -1 & 12.009 \\ 98 & -98 \end{array} \] like this, but without the phantoms: \[ \begin{array}{rr} -1 & 12.009 \\ 98 & -98\phantom{.009} \end{array} \] \end{document}

How do you use more than one font for the same language with Polyglossia? I need to use two different fonts for English and two different fonts for Ancient Greek. (So four fonts in total). The problem I’m having is that I do not always get the hyphenation features of Polyglossia when I use other fonts. Consider the following code: \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text,Scale=MatchLowercase} \setmainfont{EB Garamond} % This is English font 1. \newfontfamily{\greekfont}[Script=Greek]{Old Standard} % This is Greek font 1. \newfontfamily\englishfonttwo{Gentium Book Plus} \DeclareTextFontCommand \englishtwo \englishfonttwo % This is English font 2. \newfontfamily{\greekfonttwo}[Script=Greek]{New Athena Unicode} \DeclareTextFontCommand \greektwo \greekfonttwo % This is Greek font 2. \usepackage{xunicode} \usepackage{polyglossia} \setdefaultlanguage{english} \setotherlanguage[variant=ancient]{greek} \usepackage{multicol} \setlength{\columnsep}{1.5cm} \begin{document} \begin{multicols*}{2} Greek Font 1\\ \textgreek{Θουκυδίδης Ἀθηναῖος ξυνέγραψε τὸν πόλεμον τῶν Πελοποννησίων καὶ Ἀθηναίων, ὡς ἐπολέμησαν πρὸς ἀλλήλους, ἀρξάμενος εὐθὺς καθισταμένου καὶ ἐλπίσας μέγαν τε ἔσεσθαι καὶ ἀξιολογώτατον τῶν προγεγενημένων, τεκμαιρόμενος ὅτι ἀκμάζοντές τε ᾖσαν ἐς αὐτὸν ἀμφότεροι παρασκευῇ τῇ πάσῃ καὶ τὸ ἄλλο Ἑλληνικὸν ὁρῶν ξυνιστάμενον πρὸς ἑκατέρους, τὸ μὲν εὐθύς, τὸ δὲ καὶ διανοούμενον.}\\ English Font 1\\ \textenglish{Thucydides, an Athenian, wrote the history of the war between the Peloponnesians and the Athenians, beginning at the moment that it broke out, and believing that it would be a great war, and more worthy of relation than any that had preceded it.

The preparations of both the combatants were in every department in the last state of perfection; and he could see the rest of the Hellenic race taking sides in the quarrel; those who delayed doing so at once having it in contemplation.}\\ Greek Font 2\\ \greektwo{Θουκυδίδης Ἀθηναῖος ξυνέγραψε τὸν πόλεμον τῶν Πελοποννησίων καὶ Ἀθηναίων, ὡς ἐπολέμησαν πρὸς ἀλλήλους, ἀρξάμενος εὐθὺς καθισταμένου καὶ ἐλπίσας μέγαν τε ἔσεσθαι καὶ ἀξιολογώτατον τῶν προγεγενημένων, τεκμαιρόμενος ὅτι ἀκμάζοντές τε ᾖσαν ἐς αὐτὸν ἀμφότεροι παρασκευῇ τῇ πάσῃ καὶ τὸ ἄλλο Ἑλληνικὸν ὁρῶν ξυνιστάμενον πρὸς ἑκατέρους, τὸ μὲν εὐθύς, τὸ δὲ καὶ διανοούμενον.}\\ English Font 2\\ \englishtwo{Thucydides, an Athenian, wrote the history of the war between the Peloponnesians and the Athenians, beginning at the moment that it broke out, and believing that it would be a great war, and more worthy of relation than any that had preceded it.

The preparations of both the combatants were in every department in the last state of perfection; and he could see the rest of the Hellenic race taking sides in the quarrel; those who delayed doing so at once having it in contemplation.} \end{multicols*} \end{document} The two English examples and the first Greek example work fine, but the second Greek example is really messed up. My guess is because it is within an English environment since that is the default language. So the \textgreek{} command must be putting its text into a Greek environment, while \greektwo{} is not. I understand that I can put the \greektwo{} command within Polyglossia’s Greek environment (by using \begin{greek}...\end{greek}) to get the hyphenation features, but I will be working in multiple columns with single words and small phrases of both Greek and English (The paragraphs in my MWE are to make the hypehnation problem more apparent and the code less cluttered). So I need to be able to use the \greektwo{} command within the English environment and still have Greek words hyphenated when they need to be. How, then, do I make \greektwo{} function just like \textgreek{} with the only difference being the font they print? I looked in the Fontspec and Polyglossia manuals, but couldn’t find anything dealing with this problem. It seems like there should be a simple solution to this; I’m still new to LaTeX, so I could have miss it. I apologize for such a long-winded post, but this problem is hard to explain. In short, I need all four fonts to be “connected” to Polyglossia, so that when I use the command for one I get the hyphenation features of that package. Thank you for your time and help.

When I teach the Baire category theorem, I write on the board the following diagram: I would like to have a TeX version of this diagram. The easiest possible solution would be with arrays, but then I can’t get the long underbraces and diagonal $\in$ symbols. Maybe this requires tikz?

Predefined TikZ patterns have always worked quite well for me, with one exception: I could never figure out how to set a specific "scale" or "zoom factor", so to say. Currently, I am creating graphs with shapes that span over the better part of an A4 page's width, hence in some cases, the provided patterns like north west lines are visually too dense. The following straightforward sketch visualizes what I would like to achieve, ideally without needing to create a pattern from scratch: MWE: \documentclass[margin=5mm]{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{shapes,patterns} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[pattern=north east lines] (0,0) rectangle ++(4,4); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I would like to be able to use commands with default arguments in captions of figures/tables without causing an error in \listoftables or \listoffigures. For example, the following code causes an error stating "Undefined control sequence.": \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \listoftables \newcommand{\acommand}[1][X]{b(#1)} \begin{table} \caption{I'm using a command $\acommand$ in a caption.} \end{table} I'm using the command again $\acommand[Y]$. \end{document} This code does not generate any errors if the optional argument is removed from the definition of \acommand (and any calls). Things like \protect and supplying the argument doesn't make any difference. Anyone know how to avoid this error? Edit: Sorry I forgot to mention that the definition of \acommand is deliberately placed after the call to \listoftables. In reality I'm managing a very large document made of many subdocuments and to keep things organised, its extremely helpful to have my commands defined in the relevant subdocuments/subsections instead of defining everything before the \listoftables which must appear near the start of the document. This works for any commands that don't have optional arguments. You can test this by removing the optional argument in the MWE above and see that the error disappears. I'm hoping there is a way that I can remove the error while retaining optional arguments.

I found that exist strange space at pagebreak with equation. normal case only with long paragraph text across pages: Empty Line(\par) between para. and equation \documentclass{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage[showframe]{geometry} \begin{document} \lipsum[7-13] \begin{equation} \pi(w_i)=\frac{2\epsilon (w_i)}{\sum_{j=1}^{N_{\delta}}(w_i)} \end{equation} \end{document} No Empty Line(with nopar option) between para. and equation: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[nopar]{lipsum} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage[showframe]{geometry} \begin{document} \lipsum[7-13] \begin{equation} \pi(w_i)=\frac{2\epsilon (w_i)}{\sum_{j=1}^{N_{\delta}}(w_i)} \end{equation} \end{document} The content shrink. However, if I add more text, things go wrong again. \documentclass{article} \usepackage[nopar]{lipsum} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage[showframe]{geometry} \begin{document} I can eat the glass and it doesn't hurt me. I can eat the glass and it doesn't hurt me. I can eat the glass and it doesn't hurt me. I can eat the glass and it doesn't hurt me. I can eat the glass and it doesn't hurt me.

I know that there is no reason for a equation to start a new paragraph, but in the last case, things still not behave well. It stuck me. My Questions: Why these strange spaces at pagebreaks happened? What's the best practice to handle equation after(or exactly, at the end of) the paragraph, that is, to prevent these spaces?

I am using bibtex with the alphaurl style and I want to highlight one author in the citation call-outs by making its letter bold, e.g. [ABC25]. The solution should only modify the .tex and the alphaurl.bst files, but not require any changes to the .bib file.

I'm trying to create a formatted table using booktabs, multirow, and \rowcolor for highlighting some rows. However, when I compile my LaTeX file, I get the following error: Misplaced \noalign. You have used a \hline command in the wrong place, probably outside a table. If the \hline command is written inside a table, try including \\ before it. Here's a minimal example that produces the issue: \documentclass[final,3p,number]{elsarticle} \usepackage[dvipsnames, table]{xcolor} \usepackage{arydshln} \usepackage{booktabs} \usepackage{multirow} \usepackage{colortbl} \definecolor{lgreen}{RGB}{236, 255, 201} \definecolor{lightblue}{rgb}{0.678, 0.847, 0.902} \begin{document} \begin{table}[ht] \centering \caption{Pruning efficiency comparison} \label{tab:efficiency} \resizebox{\columnwidth}{!}{% \begin{tabular}{lllrrrrrr} \toprule \multirow{2}{*}{Model} & \multirow{2}{*}{Dataset} & \multirow{2}{*}{Method} & \multicolumn{3}{c}{Time cost (seconds)} & \multicolumn{3}{c}{Compression result} \\ \cmidrule(lr){4-6} \cmidrule(lr){7-9} & & & Phase 1 & Phase 2 & Total & Top-1 & MACs (CR) & Params (CR) \\ \midrule \multirow{3}{*}{Mo} & \multirow{3}{*}{Da} &\rowcolor{lightblue} M1 & 5387 & 1712 & 7099 & 93.08 & 82.81M (74) & 1.67M (89) \\ & &\rowcolor{lightblue} M2 & 810 & 3935 & 4745 & 93.68 & 66.95M (79) & 1.90M(87) \\ & &\rowcolor{lightblue} \textbf{M3} & \textbf{485} & \textbf{1548} & \textbf{2033} & \textbf{93.74} & \textbf{59.23M (81)} & \textbf{1.16M (92)} \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular}% } \end{table} \end{document} I suspect the issue may be related to the use of \rowcolor in combination with \multirow, or possibly the interaction with booktabs. How can I fix this error and keep the row coloring as intended?

Although this question may at first appear to have been answered, in reality this version is slightly different.

That is, just using this line: \renewcommand{\thefigure}{\arabic{figure}} as opposed to doing something like this: \renewcommand{\thefigure} \arabic{chapter}.\arabic{section}} Here is a minimal example: \documentclass{usaalthesis} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \makefrontmatter \chapter{Introduction} \begin{figure} \centering \fbox{Diagram placeholder} \caption{Diagram} \label{fig:plot} \end{figure} See figure \ref{fig:plot}. \end{document} I have tried tweaking this \renewcommand within the class definition by manually adding a trailing period (.) after the figure argument like this: \renewcommand{\thefigure}{\arabic{figure}.} But while this appears to solve the problem (Refer to this screenshot:) , however, it also results in the entries on the list of figure entries having double periods following their respective numbers, like this "1..": . I have also played around with the \titleformat{}[] macros by trying to customize only the \figurename, \thefigure or \listfigurename or [display] parameters respectively, but this did not work. Further, I tried to use the key-value pair specifier [label=\arabic*.{thefigure}]. However, this has either resulted in errors or not worked altogether. Please, anyone with ideas that could resolve this issue? Thank you in advance.

I've just spent the past ~hour digging through the pgfplots documentation, and Stackoverflow but have not been able to find an example of a floating bar chart, where individual bars do not start at 0. What I am looking to accomplish is something like this: I.e. if the specific bar finishes at e.g. 0.7, I want it to start at a value greater than 0. Here is a MWE, in which the bars presently start at 0, but where I would want them to start at e.g. 0.05. Thank you so much for all the help! \documentclass[crop,tikz]{standalone} \usepackage{pgfplots} \usepackage{tikz} \pgfplotsset{compat=1.17} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[symbolic y coords={cat1, cat2}] \addplot [xbar] coordinates {(0.3,cat1)}; \addplot [xbar] coordinates {(0.7,cat2)}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} (The number of y-axis labels can be ignored)

In a twocolumn document, I'd like to specific a different geometry on the first page, so I use \afterpage: We know that \restoregeometry will start a new page, but \afterpage makes the \restoregeometry execute at the end of the first column, not the end of the first page.

Let me be the first to address this; this is not a duplicate of this question, rather a follow-up. The answer in the question contains a solution that has worked for me for a while, but recently I used my "old" code again and I now consistently get this error: ! Package tabularray Error: Unknown outer key name '1'. I noticed there have been some updates to the packages recently, I wonder if that might've caused it. Considering the error appears only when I make use of my new environment (see MWE below), I suspect it's related to that. Can someone help me resolve this issue? MWE: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tabularray} \usepackage{spreadtab} \usepackage{environ} \begin{document} % This works \begin{spreadtab}{{tblr}{ colspec = {XXX}, hlines,vlines }} @ Description & @ Value 1 & @ Value 2 \\ @ Item 1 & 1 & 2 \\ @ Item 2 & 3 & 4 \\ @ Total & sum(b2:[0,-1]) & sum(c2:[0,-1]) \end{spreadtab} % Define it as I used to \NewEnviron{book}[2][1]{% \edef\x{% \unexpanded{ \begin{spreadtab}{{tblr}[#1]{#2}} } \unexpanded\expandafter{\BODY} \unexpanded{ \end{spreadtab} } }\x } % Try it \begin{book}{ colspec = {XXX}, hlines,vlines } @ Description & @ Value 1 & @ Value 2 \\ @ Item 1 & 1 & 2 \\ @ Item 2 & 3 & 4 \\ @ Total & sum(b2:[0,-1]) & sum(c2:[0,-1]) \end{book} \end{document}

I'm using ltablex to create a multi-page table. I import the header using input. However, an unwanted space is created below the header: tableheader.tex header1 & header2 & header3\\ \hline\endinput% main.tex \documentclass{report} \usepackage{ltablex} \begin{document} \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{XXX}% \input{tableheader}% \endfirsthead% test & & \\ \hline test & & \\ \hline \end{tabularx} \end{document} Some observations: I have tried the usual tricks with % and \unskip, but I can't eliminate the space. When I move \endfirsthead to the tableheader.tex, the issue does not occur (not an option since this header is used multiple times in my documents). Same problem with \endhead (which is not used in my MWE)

I am using a new template, and the end of proof symbol is not being shown at the end of my proofs. I have been adding it manually with \hfill \qed but I'd like to know if there is a way to fix the problem from the root.

Could someone help me?

I'm writing a linguistic paper and was told by the publisher than they "cannot process" trees written with the xyling package, so they asked me to do it with FOREST instead. I'm new to FOREST, but I downloaded the manual, loaded the package and started redoing my trees. As expected, issues arise. In one of my trees, I used a feature in xyling that allowed me to insert into my tree an arrow with text under it, and also a dotted (or full), diagonally running line with text surrounding it. I have absolutely no idee how to reproduce this with the FOREST package, and having scrolled through all the trees given in the manual, I see no example of anything similar... Tips?

I am creating a handout that includes some trees created using tikz-qtree, and I'm having two inter-related issues: one of unnecessary white space and one where a potential solution behaves unexpectedly. Sometimes, a tree ends up moved to the next page even though there's enough space for it to fit, leaving a lot of white space unnecessarily. I can force the tree to fill that space with something like \vspace{-6em}, but I don't understand why it works like it does. First, if you only do -1em for example, up to 5, nothing changes, and then with -6em, the tree does move to the previous page to fill the white space BUT too high, overlapping the text, like this (notice the "1" at the bottom where the page ends): I understand that as you move something up it will eventually overlap text above where it would have been. What I don't understand is why 1 more em is just enough to move the tree even though the space under the tree, once it moves, is clearly much more then 1em. In summary, (A) why does the tree move to the next page when there is enough space for it and (B) why does \vspace not work until some tipping point, overlapping the text? MWE (BUT recall that you need to adjust \vspace{-2em}to see what happens with the tree) \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{tikz-qtree} \usepackage{tikz-qtree-compat} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amssymb} \begin{document} \section{Some heading} \begin{itemize} \item Some text to fill this page. \item Some text to fill this page. \item Some text to fill this page. \item Some text to fill this page. \item Some text to fill this page. \item Some text to fill this page. \item Some text to fill this page. \item Some text to fill this page. \item Some text to fill this page. \end{itemize} \section{Another heading} \begin{itemize} \item Some text. \vspace{-2em} \end{itemize} \begin{tikzpicture}[baseline]\tikzset{every tree node/.style={align=center,anchor=north}} \Tree [.CP \phantom{Test} [.C' \node(C){C\\$\varnothing$}; [.TP [.\node(SpecTP){DP}; ] [.T' \node(T){T}; [.VoiceP \phantom{Test} [.Voice' \node(Voice){Voice\\t_{\text{pass}}}; [.VP [.V' \node(V){V}; \node(Object){t_{\text{DP}}}; ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] \draw[->] (Voice) to[out=240,in=240,looseness=1.9] (T); \draw[->] (Object) to[out=240,in=200,looseness=1.2] (SpecTP); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I'm using tipauni package to write IPA symbols, but there is a problem with the accent marker. I wanted to write /aˈʧitə/, but as you can see in the following image, the ' just goes above the a. Tipa doesn't give me this problem, but if possible I'd want to use tipauni. Another example: the first one is right, the second is not (I guess the ' can only go above "short" letters"): I'm using LuaLaTex, but the problem is the same with XeLaTex too. MWE to reproduce the output of the first image (run with LuaLaTeX): \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tipauni} \begin{document} \textipa{/aˈʧitə/} \end{document}

I find that ConTeXt's letterspacing command does not adjust the interword space the way I'd expect it to. As the letterspacing factor grows, it gets hard to tell words apart, as the spaces between letters and between words become of similar size. (Perhaps it is simply adding the same space factor to both.) Is this by design? And if so, is there a way to tweak the interword space, to compensate? (The ConTeXt wiki tells me that \definecharacterkerning takes some extra parameters, but I can't quite tell what they do.) I'm using ConTeXt MkXL 2025.04.01 12:45. Edit: To give an example, the chapter titles of Bringhurst's Elements of Typographical Style look something like this (I've eyeballed it, and bear in mind the original uses a different, non-free, font): Using the same factor in ConTeXt's \letterspacing, however, yields which is not as legible IMO, and even less so for bigger spacing factors. But Max Chernoff's answer is workable, and I'll gladly accept it if there's no proper "ConTeXt-y" solution. Thanks! \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond] \startTEXpage[offset=1em] %{\spaceskip=.33em \letterspacing[.16]{THE GRAND DESIGN}} \letterspacing[.16]{THE GRAND DESIGN} \stopTEXpage
