I'm writing a piece of music for guitar on which I add chord schemas. The problem is that the 'x' and 'o' to indicate if a string as to be played free or not are not well aligned, they all smashed at the left. Here is a MWE: \documentclass{report} \usepackage[top=2cm, bottom=2cm, left=2cm, right=2cm]{geometry} \usepackage{musixtex} \usepackage{musixguit} \begin{document} \begin{music}% \instrumentnumber{2}% \nobarnumbers% \setclef20% % \setlines16\setclefsymbol1\tabclef% % \raiseguitar{20}% % \interinstrument=2\internote% % \startextract% \notes% \tab53\tab42\tab30\tab21\tab10&% \guitar{Do~M}{}x--o-o\gdot23\gdot32\gdot51% \qu{cegjl}\en% \endextract% \end{music} \end{document} The compilation command: xelatex test.tex && musixflx test.mx1 && xelatex test.tex && rm test.mx2 Here is the result: As we can see, at the top there is xoo , while it should be x o o. How can I make it well aligned?

There is alignment problem with enumerate environment from enumitem package if I use \begin{align*}..\end{align*} and use \noalign. Here is a mwe: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{enumitem} \newcommand{\Z}{\mathbf{Z}} \begin{document} \begin{enumerate} \item Definition of strong pseudoprime:\\ Let $n$ be an odd composite number and $b \in (\Z /n\Z)^*$. Write $n-1 = 2^st$ where $t$ is odd. If $b$ and $n$ satisfy the condition that either \begin{align*} b^t &\equiv 1 \bmod n, \\ \noalign{or there exists $r$, $0 \leq r <s$, such that} b^{2^rt}&\equiv -1 \bmod n, \end{align*} then $n$ is called a \emph{strong pseudoprime to the base $b$}. \end{enumerate} \end{document} As one can see in the output, the text within \noalign is not properly aligned.

From interface3.pdf \tl_if_eq:NNTF is expandable (note: NN); \str_if_eq:nnTF is expandable but \tl_if_eq:nnTF isn't (note: nn); \if_charcode:w and \if_catcode:w are expandable. Could it be done an implementation for \tl_if_eq:nnTF that would be expandable? I couldn't provide a MWE. With seqs, there is \seq_map_pairwise_function:NNN but there is no equivalent to token lists, so both charcode and catcode could be compared. I see that there is a difficulty with \tl_item:Nn: \ExplSyntaxOn \edef\bbb{ \tl_item:nn { a{b}c } { 2 } } \show\bbb % log: \bbb=macro: ->b. so the { is now shown with \tl_item:Nn as I naively would suppose it returns. I realized that I don't know enough about token lists. If one could map through the token list and output the catcodes as one token (like hexadecimal code for the catcode) this "catcode-string" could be compared. I don't know how to do that.

I used https://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/historic/systems/texlive for a long time to download above all historical versions of texlive. But this server does not respond any more. It is very hard to find an alternative. I don't trust a Chinese server. I know that on https://tug.org/historic/ several servers are listed but this list seems quite outdated. Maybe someone knows more what happens or has some contact?!?

I have noticed that if I set up my \DocumentMetadata according to the PDF/A-4f standard and fill some of the entries using hyperref, the resulting PDF shows nothing in the document info whenever I inspect it using any one of my PDF readers (viz, Skim, Preview, and Zathura). Despite this, this metadata can be seen if I run, for instance, exiftool on the resulting PDF. I also notice that this is not the case when I set it to use only the UA-2 standard-- my PDF readers all detect this info as-expected in this case. I figure this has something to do with how this data is encoded that I do not quite understand. Here is a short example: % !TeX program = lualatex \DocumentMetadata{ uncompress, lang=en, pdfstandard=UA-2, pdfstandard=A-4f } \documentclass[12pt]{report} \usepackage{hyperref} \hypersetup{ pdftitle={An example}, pdfauthor={John Doe}, pdfsubject={Nonsense}, pdfcopyright={Copyright (C) John Doe}, pdfpubtype={Thesis}, pdflang={en}, pdfmetalang={en}, } \begin{document} abc \end{document} If I try to "Get Info" in Skim, for instance: If I comment out the pdfstandard=A-4f, I get the (desired?) output:

I use multiple computers and was wondering if there was a way to keep all the installed packages in the local repo and reference those? Basically how python uses package managers, like venv, pipenv, poetry, uv, etc I saw some discussion about using texmf in a local folder, but those discussions date 15 years back and unsure if thats the best approach (obviously deploying a docker system is another option but would love to avoid that!)

Some characters in NewCM have italic correction in the text fonts. This forces fontforge to emit a MATH table. I was informed that unicode TeX engines do not use italic correction in text mode so I have to remove this information, and with this the MATH table too. But if I write f| and f\/| the output is not the same. So what is true? I am confused. \begin{document} \usepackage{fontsetup} \begin{document} X\textsubscript{2} \textit{X}\textsubscript{2} \textit{X\nocorr}\textsubscript{2} f| f\/| \end{document}

I am trying to create a worksheet layout in LaTeX where one column of a table contains a writing area with a grid (like squared paper), while the other column contains several questions (Here is an example with just one question). \documentclass{article} \usepackage{array} \usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage{geometry} % \usepackage{arydshln} \usepackage{lipsum} \geometry{a4paper, left=0.35in, right=-0.1in, top=0.6in, bottom=0.4in} \definecolor{burgundy}{HTML}{8B2252} \usepackage{scrlayer-scrpage} \usepackage{tikz} \newcommand*\Circled[1]{\tikz[baseline=(char.base)]{\textcolor{burgundy}{\node[shape=circle,draw,inner sep=2pt] (char) {#1};}}} \usepackage{tikzducks} \usetikzlibrary{calc} \newcommand{\pageframe}{% \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay] \fill [burgundy!80!white] (current page.north west) rectangle (current page.south east); \fill [white, rounded corners=1cm] ($(current page.north west)+(0.5cm,-1cm)$) rectangle ($(current page.south east)+(-0.5cm,1cm)$); \node [align=center] at ($(current page.north)+(0,-0.6cm)$) {$\color{white}\mathrm{Chapitre \ 2 - Diffusion \ thermique}$}; \node [align=center] at ($(current page.south)+(0,1.9cm)$) {\centering\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.5] \shuffleducks \duck[\randomhead,\randomaccessories, /tikz/nodes={scale/.evaluated={\value{page}>99?0.4:0.6},font=\bfseries}, signpost=\scalebox{1.6}{ \parbox{6cm}{\hspace{-0.4em}\color{black} \centering\thepage}}, signback =white] \end{tikzpicture}}; %%% Background grid \draw[step=5mm, gray!30, very thin] ($(current page.north west)+(7cm,-1.5cm)$) grid ($(current page.south east)+(-1cm,5cm)$); \end{tikzpicture} } \cehead[\pageframe]{\pageframe} \cohead[\pageframe]{\pageframe} \pagestyle{scrheadings} % Another try \usepackage{makecell} \newcommand{\gridcell}[1][4cm]{% \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[step=5mm, gray!40, very thin] (0,-0.2) grid (\linewidth, #1); \end{tikzpicture}% } \begin{document} \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{6} \begin{tabular}{>{\centering\raggedright}m{0.25\textwidth}||>{\centering\arraybackslash}m{0.60\textwidth}} \Circled{1} \'Enoncer le théorème de Green-Ostrograski & \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{document} Goal I would like the second column of the table to contain a grid background (like graph paper) so that students can write their answers.

I'm trying to draw a 3D panel, within each panel there are dashed panel frame, some circles, lines connecting the circles, text, and maybe other objects. I tried to draw all these within a scope, then apply a projection so that all of these drawings can be 3D-rotated, but this trick only works on the panel frame, not properly on the other objects, see the screenshot: And here is the standalone tex code: \documentclass[tikz,border=6pt]{standalone} \usepackage{xcolor} \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta,calc} % Example colors \definecolor{Accent}{RGB}{60,90,150} \definecolor{PersistCol}{RGB}{70,130,90} \definecolor{ReactCol}{RGB}{180,110,60} \definecolor{NewCol}{RGB}{180,70,80} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[ font=\small, >=Latex, side layer projection/.style={x={(0.46cm,0.25cm)}, y={(0cm,0.75cm)}}, frame/.style={ draw=black!78, dashed, line width=.72pt, dash pattern=on 5pt off 4pt, line cap=round }, v/.style={ circle, draw=gray!55, fill=gray!22, minimum size=4pt, inner sep=0pt }, pe/.style={draw=PersistCol, line width=1.0pt}, re/.style={draw=ReactCol, line width=1.0pt}, ne/.style={draw=NewCol, line width=1.0pt} ] \def\P{1.10} \newcommand{\PlaneFrame}{% \draw[frame] (-\P,-\P)--(\P,-\P)--(\P,\P)--(-\P,\P)--cycle; } \newcommand{\PlaneLabel}[1]{% \path (-.86,-\P)--(.86,-\P) node[midway, below=2pt, sloped, transform shape, font=\scriptsize] {#1}; } \newcommand{\PoolNodes}{% \node[v] (a) at (-.75,.55) {}; \node[v] (b) at (-.10,.88) {}; \node[v] (c) at (.68,.42) {}; \node[v] (d) at (-.70,-.55) {}; \node[v] (e) at (.65,-.55) {}; } % One projected layer only \begin{scope}[side layer projection] \PlaneFrame \PlaneLabel{selected \(E_t^\star\)} \PoolNodes \draw[pe] (a)--(b); \draw[re] (d)--(e); \draw[ne] (c)--(e); \end{scope} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} What I did wrong here?

I have a weird problem with arrow heads at the end of plots, where they look wrong, as you can see in the picture (look below left; the line seems to exceed the arrow tip). Removing colour or changing thickness did not solve the problem. Interestingly, making the arrow longer does fix the issue, but is not a plausible fix. Also increasing the scale seems to hide the issue, but I would not like to do that, as diagrams would get too big. This issue does not appear with the longer parabola or the blue line which I drew normally. Here is an MWE. \documentclass[10pt]{book} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta} % Tikz libraries \tikzset{>={Stealth}} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.4] \draw[->, thick, red, domain=-1:3.5, variable=\t, smooth, samples=75] plot ({\t,2-0.5*\t*\t}); \draw[<-, thick, red, domain=-2:-0.5, variable=\t, smooth, samples=75] plot (2*\t,\t-1); \draw[draw=red, fill=white] (-1,-1.5) circle (4pt); \draw[thick, blue,<->] (0,-3) -- (1,-2); \draw[red, fill] (-1,1.5) circle (4pt); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Any idea what is going wrong?

I would like to use the light and normal/medium variant of Roboto Slab from the package roboto.

Adding \fontencoding{T1} as suggested here does not seem to change a thing...

How do I write the eyelet character (T1 code 24) in LaTeX? Is there a dedicated command or is \char24 the only option? If there is no dedicated command, I am using \char24 and it works but if the font isn't T1 it spits out a different mark as \char is a generic command and does not look at encoding. If you don't know what this character is, it's used after % to make ‰ and ‱. Here is this character in my own font I designed using METAFONT: and here it is in the T1 version of Computer Modern The question is: is there a dedicated command, or is \char24 all there is?

unicode-math provides for two calligraphic sets. These are \mathcal/\symcal and \mathscr/\symscr. By default they produce the same output but one can separate them using something like \setmathfont[rang={\mathscr,\mathbfscr},StylisticSet=1]{NewCM10-Regular.otf} Then \mathscr will give different results than \mathcal. Unicode supports three variants accessed with Variation Selectors U+FE00 and U+FE01. The former switches to chancery and the latter to roundhand. However, TeX engines do not support Variation Selectors. So it seems proper to introduce a third alphabet variant called for example \mathchancery or \symchancery. NewComputerModern will provide three calligraphic alphabets in next release after restoring Knuthian Calligraphics as default (mathcal). The Euler style calligraphic is now the chancery variant and the roundhand remains as \mathscr. My question is if it is easy to introduce this extra \mathchancery alphabet with newcomputermodern.sty until unicode-math incorporates such an addition, and how to do it?

I use tcolorbox to create exercises. How can the exercise counter be set so that the numbering starts at 4 instead of 1? Exercice 4 Exercice 5 Exercice 6 \documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article} \usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{calc} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage[many,most]{tcolorbox} \tcbset{mystyle/.style={ breakable, enhanced, outer arc=0pt, arc=0pt, colframe=blue, colback=blue, attach boxed title to top left, boxed title style={ colback=blue, outer arc=0pt, arc=0pt, left=5pt, right=5pt, top=1pt, bottom=1pt, }, fonttitle=\large\bfseries\sffamily } } \newtcolorbox[auto counter]{exercise}[1][]{ mystyle, colback=white, leftrule=0pt, rightrule=0pt, toprule=1.2pt, bottomrule=0pt, title= >> Exercise \textnumero \,\thetcbcounter, overlay unbroken and first={ \path let \p1=(title.north east), \p2=(frame.north east) in node[anchor=west,font= \bfseries\sffamily\itshape,color=blue,text width=\x2-\x1,align=left] at (title.east) {#1}; } } \begin{document} %%% Here I want to start exercise at 4 instead of 1 \begin{exercise}[... some text] \lipsum[2] \end{exercise} \begin{exercise}[... some text] \lipsum[2] \end{exercise} \begin{exercise}[... some text] \lipsum[2] \end{exercise} \end{document}

I am writing a problem sheet for my students (I'm a math teacher) and I would like a way for my code to compute dynamically the solutions: The numerical variables are stored in a \def, so then I can change them anytime and the solution are automatically adapted. I need a way to create a "dynamical list" to print the solution at the end of the document. For example, the questions would be something like this \begin{enumerate} \def\a{5} \def\b{3} \edef\MYsum{\fpeval{a+b}} \edef\MYproduct{\fpeval{a*b}} \item Compute the sum $a+b$. %What to write here to store the answer "somewhere"? \item Compute the product $ab$. %What to write here to store the answer "somewhere"? \end{enumerate} %Here goes other questions, some text, etc. %And here, at the very end, I want the solutions: %The command below should print something like \MYsum ; \MYproduct %It will display, in my example, 8 ; 15 but if then I change the values of \a and \b, the results are also modified. \printthesolutiosn

I am typesetting a worksheet in landscape A4, two columns, where each spread (two pages) contains: several exercises (\begin{enonce}) occupying at least two columns (possibly spilling onto the next page), and their solutions (\begin{solution}) occupying at most two columns, printed upside down at the bottom of the page so that the reader must flip the sheet to read it. See the diagram below for the intended layout. The document must support several such spreads in sequence. Constraints The total content of one spread never exceeds two landscape pages. I take responsibility for avoiding overlap between the exercise and the solution; the code does not need to handle it automatically. What the code must guarantee is that the solution columns are exactly superimposed on the exercise columns (same \textwidth, same \columnsep, same horizontal offsets). Question What is the cleanest way to make this pattern repeatable for an arbitrary number of spreads, while keeping the column alignment guarantee? I am open to approaches based on atbegshi, everypage, pgfpages, scrlayer, or anything else that fits. Remarks Here is what my document looks like so far, without having handled this "upside down" feature. I have dealt with columning with multicol.

What I tried to replicate is something as below: Noted that the double-dotted is aligned as the red line denoted, and the "rotated box" is NOT what I want(just because the image I get rotated itself), I just want something the same as \dashbox or \doublebox, the normal horizonal box. The post here, I think, just want to focus the dots alignment. Now I have the following code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[most]{tcolorbox} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{dashbox} \usepackage{fancybox} % https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/101263/322482 \makeatletter \tikzset{ dot diameter/.store in=\dot@diameter, dot diameter=3pt, dot spacing/.store in=\dot@spacing, dot spacing=10pt, dots/.style={ line width=\dot@diameter, line cap=round, dash pattern=on 0pt off \dot@spacing }, } \tcbset{ doubledotted/.style={ empty, sharp corners, frame engine=path, frame empty, frame code={ \draw[dots](frame.south west) rectangle (frame.north east); \draw[dots]([xshift=-\dot@spacing,yshift=-\dot@spacing]frame.south west) rectangle ([xshift=\dot@spacing,yshift=\dot@spacing]frame.north east); }, } } \makeatother \begin{document} AAA \qquad\tcbox[doubledotted,nobeforeafter,box align=center]{This is a tcolorbox.}\qquad BBB \vspace{1cm} \begin{tcolorbox}[doubledotted] \lipsum[2] \end{tcolorbox} \bigskip \fbox{This is a framebox.} \dashbox{This is a dashed framebox.} \doublebox{This is a doublebox.} \end{document} which gives: The disturbing point is that the dotted in a \path is hard to control the alignment precisely. I have to cliam that, I think that would be two different approach to achieved this: One with tcolorbox and tikz Another with some "plain" approaches for example dashedbox and fancybox: fancybox.sty:

A book-length document to be processed with lualatex has main language English, with only occasional words or phrases from Russian, French, German, or Polish.

I'm trying to get something like this (taken from Microsoft Word): The left cell is going to be "fixed", meaning it shouldn't grow with the text filling the right one; viceversa, the right cell should adapt to the text put in it, but: being at least as high as the left cell with the background for the entire cell the table should take horizontally all of the \textwidth optionally, the left cell should have a minimum height For now I kinda managed to get this, with LuaLaTeX (1): \documentclass{report} \usepackage{tabularx} \usepackage{multirow} \usepackage[table]{xcolor} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \noindent\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}[h]{p{6cm} >{\columncolor{gray}}X} {\cellcolor{red}\color{white}\textbf{Title of boxed section:}} & \multirow[t]{2}{=}{\lipsum[1]} \\ & \end{tabularx} \lipsum[1] \end{document} but as you see it overlaps both in the right cell, and with the rest of the text: We can use LuaLaTeX and LaTeX3. Do you have any advise? Thanks! (1) EDIT: added \usepackage{...} to provide complete MWE

I'm currently working on a math paper about some concepts in virtual knot theory. It is a very "visual" field of mathematics and we are often challenged to draw some original figures using Tikz code. The following is a hand made version of the figure I want to draw using Tikz code: I was able to produce the code for the left hand side figure (the crossings with the shaded bands spanning over its strands). But I could not produce the right hand side figure. Here is a minimal working example that could be given here. 🙂 \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{calc,arrows.meta} \tikzset{>={Stealth[length=2mm]}} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \coordinate (P) at (-0.5,0); \draw[gray!55, line width=2mm, line cap=round] ($(P)+(-1,1)$) .. controls ($(P)+(0.2,-0.1)$) and ($(P)+(0.2,0.1)$) .. ($(P)+(-1,-1)$); \coordinate (Q) at (0.5,0); \draw[gray!55, line width=2mm, line cap=round] ($(Q)+(1,1)$) .. controls ($(P)+(0.8,-0.1)$) and ($(P)+(0.8,0.1)$) .. ($(Q)+(1,-1)$); \draw[thick, line cap=round,->] (-1.4,-1.4) -- (1.4,1.4); \draw[thick, line cap=round,->] (-1.4,1.4) -- (-0.2,0.2) ( 0.2,-0.2) -- ( 1.4,-1.4); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I am struggling to make a professional looking coin catalogue on LaTeX, but don't want to go back to using word. Need to figure out a way of formatting in a way that looks professional but is semi easy to use.

I have two rectangular TikZ nodes placed one below the other: B1 is above B2. I would like to create a third rectangular node B3, shifted to the right in the x-direction, such that: the top of B3 is aligned with B1.north the bottom of B3 is aligned with B2.south I am not sure what is the best TikZ way to do this cleanly. Here is a minimal example of the situation: \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{calc} \begin{document} \tikzstyle{block} = [draw, fill=white, rectangle, inner xsep=0pt, align=center, font=\small]% \begin{tikzpicture} \node [block, text width=3em] (B1) {Block 1}; \node [block, anchor=north, text width=3em] (B2) at ([yshift=-5em]B1.south) {Block 2}; \node [block, anchor=west] (B3) at ([xshift=5em]$(B1.east)!0.5!(B2.east)$) {Block 3}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} I tried using minimum height with coordinate differences, but I could not make it work properly. What is the recommended approach?

I am debugging somebody else's .tex file. The first line is: %&xx I also see files xx.fmt and xx.tex in the same folder. What does this line mean ? Is it like \input ? But apparently faster (I guess it includes a pre-compiled represemtation of the .tex file),is it ? The file xx.tex loads a number of packages, which makes it slow to compile. I guess the intention might have been to speed up the compilation. I am trying to compile the file that I am debugging with pdflatex (MikTex on Windows-10) . Strangely, pdflatex does not even produce a .log file -- Iguess it fails before that?
