I am using Beamer, and trying to personalize the frame title. Most of the personalizations are already in place, but there is a subtle change I want that I am not able to achieve. I have a top bar with a background that stops at a certain point, let's say 11 cm. Then at the right of the bar I have the logo. The point is that I am not able to have the frame title vertically aligned at the top, when the title is on two lines (for instance due to a newline or a long title). In practice, the background box gets larger if the title is on two lines, and if I redefine the frametitle template, for instance setting a fixed height of the beamercolorbox, I get the text vertically aligned at the bottom. The code that produce the current format: \setbeamercolor{frametitle}{fg=white} \addtobeamertemplate{frametitle}{\setlength{\textwidth}{115mm}}{\vskip-0.5em} \setbeamertemplate{sidebar right} { \vskip4pt% \llap{\insertlogo\hskip0.1cm}% \vfill% \llap{\usebeamertemplate***{navigation symbols}\hskip0.1cm}% \vskip2pt% } Title over one line: If the title is over two lines the box is taller: The use of sidebar, as suggested here sidebar, does not give the wanted result. The desired result is a red box of a fixed height, with the frame title text vertically aligned at the top, i.e. the second line must not move the first one vertically. Any help is appreciated, as I have tried several solutions, also using tikz, without luck.

In the following code, how can I colour the slide numbers on bottom right with the same color of frame title (or title frame)? \documentclass{beamer} \usetheme[microtype]{fibeamer} \title{Presentation Title} \subtitle{Presentation Subtitle} \author{Author's name} \begin{document} \begin{frame} How can I colour ``1/1’’ on the bottom? \end{frame} \end{document}

I have the code below for a wider frame but there are several problems, namely, I can control only left and right margin with the same distance, and long text overlay slide numbers. So, how can I control left margin, right margin, text height and text width with different distances (and prevent text overlay)? \documentclass{beamer} \usetheme[microtype]{fibeamer} \usepackage{lipsum} \title{Presentation Title} \subtitle{Presentation Subtitle} \author{Author's name} \newcommand\Wider[2][3em]{% \makebox[\linewidth][c]{% \begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\textwidth+#1\relax} \raggedright#2 \end{minipage}% }% } \begin{document} \begin{frame}{Long text} \Wider{\lipsum} \end{frame} \end{document}

I would like to create a multi-panel figure with two subpanels of different width and height. The labels should be placed in the upper left corner of each subpanel with the left margin of the labels aligned to the left margin of the graphic in the corresponding subpanel (and baseline of the letters on the same height just on top ("north") of the highest graphic of the subpanels: My approach in TikZ does not exactly align the left margin of the labels to the left margin in the corresponding subpanel: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} % the files green_ellipse and blue_square are on my disk; any graphics file would do \node[anchor=east, inner sep=0pt] at (0,0){\includegraphics[width=.3\textwidth]{green_ellipse}}; \node[anchor=south east] at (-3.7,1.8) {a}; \node[anchor=west,inner sep=0pt] at (1,0){\includegraphics[width=.6\textwidth]{blue_square}}; \node[anchor=south east] at (1,1.8) {b}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} How could the left margins of the labels with the left margins of the graphics in the subpanels and the baseline of the letters just on top ("north") of the highest graphic of the subpanels.

I cloned the repository https://gitlab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/texlive/metapost/ and try to compile the file source\texk\web2c\mplibdir\mp.w with cweave like this: $ pwd /metapost/source/texk/web2c/mplibdir $ cweave mp.w $ pdftex mp.tex I got a error message: !

My question is: how can I compile the file mp.w correctly to a PDF file?

I am creating a report in LaTeX. I would like to write some highlighted text, similar to a theorem, but I would like it to remain accessible. Is it possible? Or are there better packages than amsthm or amsmath? \DocumentMetadata{ lang = en-EN, pdfversion = 2.0, pdfstandard = ua-2, tagging = on, tagging-setup = {math/setup=mathml-SE} } \documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{report} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amsthm} \newtheorem{theorem}{Highlight} \begin{document} \begin{theorem} This should be a properly tagged theorem environment. \textbf{Some text :} And some other text here. \end{theorem} \end{document}

What is the size of the slide numbers on bottom right, and can I use that size in a word/letters of a frame? \documentclass{beamer} \usetheme[microtype]{fibeamer} \title{Presentation Title} \subtitle{Presentation Subtitle} \author{Author's name} \begin{document} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Long text} \end{frame} \end{document}

I have a figure to which I add representation of axis. Using scope environment I'm able to scale and move it where I want on the figure. Would it be possible to make it always at a specific position in the figure (for instance bottom left), so if I change the content of the figure by adding other element, the scope would still be placed where I intended. For a node I would use anchor. Here is a MWE: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{backgrounds} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[show background rectangle] \draw[red,fill=yellow] (0,0,0) -- ++(-2,0,0) -- ++(0,-1,0) -- ++(2,0,0) -- cycle; \draw[red,fill=yellow] (0,0,0) -- ++(0,0,-1) -- ++(0,-1,0) -- ++(0,0,1) -- cycle; \draw[red,fill=yellow] (0,0,0) -- ++(-2,0,0) -- ++(0,0,-1) -- ++(2,0,0) -- cycle; \begin{scope}[xshift=-3cm, yshift=-0.56cm, scale=0.4] \draw[->, red] (0,0) -- (0,1) node[anchor=north east] {$x$}; \draw[->, green] (0,0) -- (-1,0) node[anchor=north west] {$y$}; \draw[blue] (0,0) node {$\odot$}; \draw[blue] (0,0) node[anchor=north west] {$z$}; \end{scope} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} I manually set the xshift and yshift so the arrows are on the bottom part of the figure. (Note: here the scope does enlarge the figure on the left because there is nothing, but in my case where I'm facing this issue, there are other object on the top left part of it)

I have been using the academicons package in Overleaf and have noticed that certain icons are not aligning with the ones that appear in the documentation. I have reproduced the error in both Overleaf and TexStudio. For example, the arXiv and Zenodo icons are mismatched: \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{academicons} \begin{document} ArXiv and Zenodo icons: \begin{itemize} \item \textbackslash aiarXiv: \aiarXiv \item \textbackslash aiarXivSquare: \aiarXivSquare \item \textbackslash aiZenodo: \aiZenodo \item \textbackslash aiZenodoSquare: \aiZenodoSquare \end{itemize} \end{document} Compare this to what the package documentation professes to yield for these two icons: I ensured (1) that I am using the most recent version of academicons (v1.9.6-2, as in the docs) and (2) that I am compiling with XeLaTeX, so those aren't the issue. Does anyone know what is going on here or how to fix this?

How do I reduce the gap between only one equation (or two, or generally math environments) to the text above and below for a single slide only? I've tried \vspace, but this only reduces the gap to the text above but produces weird things below. And doing it for all slides I would use something like \expandafter\def\expandafter\normalsize\expandafter{% \normalsize% \setlength\abovedisplayskip{0pt}% \setlength\belowdisplayskip{8pt}% \setlength\abovedisplayshortskip{-8pt}% \setlength\belowdisplayshortskip{2pt}% } right?

In plain TeX (not eTeX, and definitely not LaTeX), I am trying to test if a macro argument was just previously used (the last time the macro was invoked). The idea is I am trying to create an extremely crude "index", and I want to print all the references to the same entry on the same line. (The entries are already sorted, this is literally just a printing problem. I cannot determine if the current entry coincides with the entry "currently being worked on".) A minimal working example: \def\currentparam{} \def\printrefs#1#2{% \if#1\currentparam% -- apparently always false!? , #2% \else% \gdef\currentparam{#1}% \par\noindent#1 #2% \fi} \printrefs{Hilbert, David}{17} \printrefs{Hilbert, David}{23} \printrefs{Hilbert's programme}{2} \printrefs{Martin-L{\accent "7F o}f, Per}{3} \printrefs{Martin-L{\accent "7F o}f, Per}{19} \bye This will (sadly) print five lines, looking like: Hilbert, David 17 Hilbert, David 23 Hilbert's programme 2 Martin-L{\accent "7F o}f, Per 3 Martin-L{\accent "7F o}f, Per 19 Instead of the sought behavour of printing three lines: Hilbert, David 17, 23 Hilbert's programme 2 Martin-L{\accent "7F o}f, Per 3, 19 Something is going wrong with the \if#1\currentparam line to always evaluate to false, but the solution to the bug eludes me.

The following MCE: \documentclass[french]{article} % \usepackage{fnpct} \usepackage{babel} \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} Foo\footnote{Bar.}\footnote{Baz.}. \end{document} compiled with current lualatex, typesets the footnotes according to the French typographic rules: Bar. Baz. But, if fnpct is loaded, that's not the case since the footnotes are typeset as follows: ¹Bar. ²Baz. At least with TeX Live 2025, we got the expected result even when fnpct was loaded.

Edit With current TL 2026, the result is the same with pdftex and with lualatex but, with TL 2025, the result is the expected one: not with pdflatex with lualatex.

I am designing playing cards, and I use a print service (https://meinspiel.de if that's relevant). I create my cards with a heading styled with tikz, like so: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[paperwidth=65mm,paperheight=97mm, margin=7mm]{geometry} \pagestyle{empty} \RequirePackage[x-4]{pdfx} \setCMYKcolorprofile{coated_FOGRA39L_argl.icc} {Coated FOGRA39} {FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2 300\% (ECI))} {http://www.argyllcms.com/} \usepackage[overprint]{colorspace} \RequirePackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{positioning,shapes,calc,backgrounds} \definecolor{blue1}{cmyk}{0.6818,0.3939,0,0.7412} \definecolor{blue2}{cmyk}{0.6339,0.2768,0,0.5608} \tikzset{ pics/heading/.style={code={ \node[anchor=north west] (heading) at ($(current page.north west) + (7, -7)$) {\textoverprint[0]{\textcolor{white}{\textsf{#1}}}}; \begin{scope}[on background layer] \fill[top color=blue1, bottom color=blue2] (current page.north west) -- (heading.south west-|current page.north west) -- (heading.south east) .. controls +(right:5) and +(left:5) .. +(10, 2) -| (current page.north east) -- cycle; \end{scope} }} } \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[x=1mm, y=1mm, remember picture, overlay] \pic {heading={My Heading}}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} As you can see, I set the card's dimensions, specify PDF/X-4 output and the ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI) color profile just like the print service requires. Then I enable overprint (unsure whether this is relevant for my issue) for black text (but the heading is white, so I disable it there again). I define a tikz pic to use for drawing the heading of each card. Finally, I create a document with a single card that uses that pic as heading. The result looks like this: I gave that to the printing service, and they printed the heading as two areas split horizontally with different colors, instead of the gradient. When I asked them what the problem is, they answered this (translated from German): The data is set up in a strange way. The gradient consists of two parts, which lead to it being cut back during conversion. Also, the size of the gradient is extremely huge. I don't exaggerate. It has a width of 352777777777,425mm, i.e. 352.777,78km! While we do have meter scale from time to time, I've never seen kilometers. (The circumference of Earth at the equator is about 40.075 km to put that into context.) It may be that this is why there was an error during conversion. We suggest to embed the gradient as picture to avoid such errors. Also, when gradients are pictures, the print is cleaner and smoother. So, I guess my question is: How do I create the gradient so that the print service is happy? I don't feel like I have enough control over whatever tikz does here.
