I'm using enumitem to typeset paragraphs, whether contiguous or joined using \par. For this last case, itemjoin={\par} triggers an error, hence the shown workaround.

I'm trying to make a template which uses wrapfigure (for wrapped text), marginnote, and lettrine. I've gotten all of the first 2 to play nice together, but the problem has started at lettrine. Basically, when I use lettrine and marginnote together then wrapfigure breaks and stops placing its text in the correct place. If I remove the marginnote then wrapfigure works with lettrine. The marginnote itself remains unaffected when I use lettrine, it just breaks wrapfigure. I've tried recreating the lettrine effect with wrapfigure only but ran into similar issues. I've made a minimum reproduction of this below, thank you in advance. I'm using Tectonic. \documentclass{article} \usepackage[ letterpaper, % or letterpaper, etc. margin=3cm, footskip=1cm % space between bottom of text and baseline of footer ]{geometry} \usepackage{lettrine} \usepackage{wrapfig} \usepackage{marginnote} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{marginnote} \newcommand{\colnote}[1]{% \marginnote{% \footnotesize% #1% }% \normalmarginpar% in my main code this is determined by a \whichcolumn } \newcommand{\wrappedtext}[1]{% % in my main code this is l/r depending on column \begin{wrapfigure}{l}{0.4\linewidth}% \textit{#1}% \end{wrapfigure}% } \begin{document} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % when this is uncommented the whole thing breaks %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %\lettrine{L}{orem} \lipsum[1][1-8] \wrappedtext{\lipsum[1][1-2]} \lipsum[1][11-15] \colnote{\lipsum[1][3-4]} \lipsum[2-3] \end{document}

I am currently working on a cheat sheet. It is composed of a table with three columns. The first one is a keyword, the second one either a text explanation or a formula and the third one is a variable definition. The following is a minimal working example \documentclass[a4paper, twocolumn, landscape]{article} \usepackage[margin = 7mm, headsep=3mm, includehead]{geometry} \usepackage[fleqn]{amsmath} \usepackage{amsfonts, amssymb, mathtools} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{siunitx} \usepackage{braket} \newcommand{\dd}{\mathrm{d}} \newcommand{\pd}{\partial} \DeclareMathOperator{\ham}{\hat{H}} \DeclareMathOperator{\mom}{\hat{p}} \DeclarePairedDelimiter{\abs}{\lvert}{\rvert} \DeclarePairedDelimiter{\norm}{\lVert}{\rVert} \makeatletter \let\oldabs\abs \def\abs{\@ifstar{\oldabs}{\oldabs*}} % \let\oldnorm\norm \def\norm{\@ifstar{\oldnorm}{\oldnorm*}} \makeatother \usepackage{tabularx} \usepackage{booktabs} \usepackage{array} \usepackage{makecell} \newcommand{\mc}[1]{\makecell{#1}} \renewcommand{\cellalign}{tl} \newcolumntype{L}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{0.2\linewidth}} \newcolumntype{F}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash \abovedisplayskip=0pt \belowdisplayskip=0pt \abovedisplayshortskip=0pt \belowdisplayshortskip=0pt \mathindent=0pt \partopsep=0pt \topsep=0pt}p{0.5\linewidth}} \newcolumntype{E}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}X} \newenvironment{formtab}[1][1.2] { \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{#1} \fontsize{8}{8}\selectfont \tabularx{\linewidth}{@{} L F E @{}} } { \endtabularx } \begin{document} \subsubsection{Wavefunction - Discrete} \begin{formtab} discrete basis & set of discrete states $\{ \Psi_n \}$ with $\braket{\Psi_n | \Psi_m} = \delta_{nm}$ & \\ arbitrary state & \[ \ket{\Psi} = \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n \ket{\Psi_n}, \quad a_n = \braket{\Psi_n | \Psi} \] & \\ probability & $P_\Psi(n) = \abs{a_n}^2 = \abs{\braket{\Psi_n | \Psi}}^2$ & \\ normalization & $\braket{\Psi | \Psi} = 1$ \end{formtab} \end{document} The table now looks like this I want the display style formula to sit flush with the top of the cell though. I have tried using $\displaystyle a^2+b^2=c^2$. This causes the keyword to be centered with the formula. Using \vspace(-.5cm) works partially but that would require me to manually find the correction which is not sensible if the entire document is made up of formulas. Do you have any ideas how this could be achieved?

I am trying to draw a complete graph $K_5$ with 5 edges with different colors and the vertices are not big filled circles? I found this here A complete graph on 5 vertices with coloured edges but I do not know how to have 5 edges with different colors and the vertices are not big filled circles, just small filled circles. Any hints will be greatly appreciated. I also do not want this one here How to draw the following graph in latex? , I want the edges themselves to be of different colors not shaded by different colors.

Problem I have two bibliographic entries in my database with similar author fields. In the first case, it is an article only by author A. In the second case, A (Luz) is the first author, followed by B, C, and D (Luz, Frank, Riches, Klimkeit). I abbreviate with et al. for more than 3 authors. However, in my bibliography the entries appear under the same name A, which is quite confusing. Any idea, folks, why this happens? I think it might have to do with the csl-style I wrote by myself, but I am not sure. I use .json as file format for my bibliography for different reasons. Thanks for any help!

We can use the \showglyphs commannd in ConTeXt to show the bounding boxes of glyphs, both text and math. It also shows the baseline. \showglyphs \starttext Lorem ipsum \startformula \int_\Gamma f \cdot dx = 1 \stopformula \stoptext What are the equivalent commands with other engines, such as Lua(La)TeX, Xe(La)TeX, OpTeX, and even pdf(La)TeX if possible? The answers here don't work for math: Bounding box for each letter. The package lua-visual-debug does not seem to create boxes for all the glyphs involved in the equations.

How can I create a more condense but still clear version of it. For (1); the vertical space between the boxes should be smaller. (2) the box height should be decreased and (3) the text inside the box should be more condense. The font size could be decreased as well.

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 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.

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.

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?

This question comes from the fact, that norms are quite expensive, except PDF/UA-1/2 normed as ISO 14289-1/2 which i read. Extrapolating a bit, what I read in Section 5 and 6 to the other norms, it seems as if the entries in xmp data setting up the claim, i.e. for example that it is UA-2 or A-2b is a prerequisite for satisfying UA-2 or A-2b or whatsoever, although not a sufficient condition of course. But this means that at most one of the PDA/A norms can be satisfied. Likewise for PDF/X and for PDF/UA. But on the other hand, a single document may well be conform to one two or all three norms out of the families PDF/A,X,UA. Is this correct? I tried to specify two norms out of one family in \DocumentMetadata, e.g. \DocumentMetadata{pdfstandard=a-2a,pdfstandard=a-2b} then seemingly the later overwrites the former. Is this correct? I am aware that 2a is more restrictive than 2b. I am just interested how latex resolves the situation. Also i write a build tool and I want to have overview which situations emit a warning ... because the setting is for sure erroneous.

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?

The following is an example from an English book. I'm planning to rewrite it in latex. The layout is with an itemize of points in the middle, and with "CONNECTIONS" notes along the two sides. I tried to solve it using TikZ, but the vertical align is hard to control. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} % Required for inserting images \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{center} \begin{tikzpicture} \node[draw,text width=3.1cm] at (0cm,0) {CONNECTIONS Because \\ \vspace{\baselineskip} It \\ and \\ Though \\ Since ... not \\ only \\ but also \vspace{\baselineskip} }; \node[draw,text width=6.3cm] at (5.1cm,0) {\begin{center} POINTS \end{center} 1.

I would like to draw a sphere, of radius 3, and an ellipsoid of semi-axis 2, 3 and 4 together. They intersect at two great circles on the sphere (marked in red). I started out with the sphere and the great circles: \documentclass[border=2mm]{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{3dtools}% https://github.com/marmotghost/tikz-3dtools \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[3d/install view={phi=120,theta=70},line cap=butt, line join=round,declare function={R=3;},c/.style={circle,fill,inner sep=1pt}] \path (0,0,0) coordinate (O) ; \draw[blue,3d/screen coords] (O) circle[radius=R]; \shade[ball color=white,3d/screen coords,opacity=0.7] (O) circle[radius=R]; % \shade[ball color=blue!30,3d/screen coords,opacity=0.7,xscale=2,yscale=3,zscale=4] (O) circle[radius=1]; \path pic[blue]{3d/circle on sphere={R=R,C={(O)}}}; \path pic[red]{3d/circle on sphere={R=R, n={(0.592,0,-1)}}}; % plane x = sqrt{7/10) z \path pic[red]{3d/circle on sphere={R=R, n={(0.592,0,1)}}}; % plane x = sqrt{7/10) z \draw[3d/hidden] (0,0,0) -- (0,0,R) (O)--(R,0,0) (O)--(0,R,0) (O)--(0,-R,0); \draw[3d/visible, -stealth] (R,0,0) -- (R + 4,0,0) node[below]{$x$}; \draw[3d/visible, -stealth] (0,R,0) -- (0,R + 1,0) node[right]{$y$}; \draw[3d/visible, -stealth] (0,0,R) -- (0,0,R + 1.5) node[above]{$z$}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} and everything is right so far: but when I remove the comment on the line that I would expect to draw the ellipsoid \shade[ball color=blue!30,3d/screen coords,opacity=0.7,xscale=2,yscale=3,zscale=4] (O) circle[radius=1]; I get something that is far from what I expected, including the fact that the zscale is not understood. How can one add the intersecting elipsoide to this image?
