In beamer, I want all the solution environments' contents to appear in normal beamer mode but disappear in handout mode. Typically this can be achieved by something like \documentclass[handout]{beamer} \begin{document} \begin{frame} \begin{example} example text \end{example} \begin{solution}<2-|handout:0> solution text \end{solution} \end{frame} \end{document} However, adding handout:0 for every solution environment is tedious. Is there any automatic may?

I already know \left<opening operator> <content> \right<closing operator> automatically scales up the operators to adapt to the <content> size. I have the opposite problem: I want to scale a set of parentheses down, specifically in a superscript. Take the symbol below in (1) which I use to refer to a specific curve in my paper. I sometimes want to take the first derivative of it, which needs a \prime in superscript, leading to (2). % (1) The regular curve symbol. \NewDocumentCommand{\curve}{m}{% \phi_{\vphantom{m}\smash{f}}^{\text{\upshape gen}}% \IfBlankF{#1}{(#1)} }% % (2) Its derivative \NewDocumentCommand{\curvederivative}{m}{% \phi_{\vphantom{m}\smash{f}}^{\text{\upshape gen}\prime}% \IfBlankF{#1}{(#1)} }% However, these can easily be confused. I want to add parentheses around the \prime in order to make the difference stand out. The problem is the parentheses have a lot of height, but no depth (quite the change compared to the "gen" text, only having depth). This version also adds some height to the surrounding line in text mode... % (3) My attempt with parentheses... \NewDocumentCommand{\curvederivativeparen}{m}{% \phi_{\vphantom{m}\smash{f}}^{\text{\upshape gen}(\prime)}% \IfBlankF{#1}{(#1)} }% Is there an automatic way to scale the parentheses down to the size of the content (in that case, only the \prime symbol)? I know I can play around with \scalebox and \raisebox, but I don't want to fiddle with the lengths if the content changes...

I try to use Emacs + AUCTeX + Miktex to compile the following code which fails to output the index I expect. The options of the engine is: (add-to-list 'TeX-command-list '("XeLaTeX" "%`xelatex -shell-escape -aux-directory=./tmp -recorder %(mode)%' %t" TeX-run-TeX nil t)) Then I remove the option -aux-directory=./tmp and the index is created.

Dieses entstand in Italien frühestens Ende des 14.~Jahrhunderts und bezeichnete einen Vertreter jener damals an Universitäten aufkommenden Gelehrsamkeit, die -- innerhalb der mittelalterlich-scholastischen Bildungskategorien der „Septem artes liberales“ (sieben freien Künste) -- die Dialektik (bzw.~deren Teilbereich, die Logik) durch die Rhetorik ersetzte und die Bedeutung der Grammatik in den Vordergrund rückte. Nach wie vor unterschied man innerhalb der sieben freien Künste zwischen dem Trivium („Dreiweg“: Grammatik, Poetik, Dialektik bzw.~Logik) und dem Quadrivium („Vierweg“: Arithmetik, Geometrie, Musik, Astronomie inklusive Astrologie). War aber bisher im Bereich der Dialektik bzw.~Logik die spezifisch scholastische, sich auf Schriften des Aristoteles und auf kirchliche Autoritäten berufende Form des Denkens und Argumentierens gelehrt worden, so wurde nun allmählich mehr Gewicht auf den reflektierten Gebrauch des Lateinischen gelegt, das im ganzen Abendland als Sprache der Wissenschaft im akademischen Bereich galt. Gleichzeitig traten die Fächer des Quadriviums als Grundlagen der universitären Bildung zunächst in den Hintergrund, und das Hauptgewicht verlagerte sich auf das Trivium; für letzteres wurde der Ausdruck „studia humanitatis“ üblich. Unbeschadet des Festhaltens an dem als wahr erkannten Glauben an die Heilslehre Jesu Christi suchten die Humanisten durch das Studium der Antike und die Beschäftigung mit antiken Schriftstellern, allen voran \underLine{Cicero} % <---- (106--43 v.\,Chr.), die menschliche Persönlichkeit zu ihrer höchsten Entfaltung zu bringen. Vor allem in der Wissenschaft, der Staatskunst, der Technik, der Dichtkunst, der bildenden Kunst und in den weltlichen Tugenden hielt man die Vertreter der Antike für überlegen und nachahmenswert. Das neue Menschenbild des Humanismus sah als Ideal den „Universalmenschen“, der die Eigenschaften eines Poeta, Orator und Philosophus (Dichters, Redners und Philosophen) vollkommen in sich vereinigte. Die Scholastik des Mittelalters war der Ansicht gewesen, daß der Mensch in seiner Unvollkommenheit ganz \end{document} Compiling this snippet with lualatex aborts with !

As my second question with regard to reledmac's endnotes (the first one), as I am trying to shift the critical apparatus to a separate part of the book, I am trying to understand why \Xfootnote{}s look so different from \Xendnote{}s, and if there's a reasonable way to make them look practically the same way. See the following example: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{reledmac} \numberstanzatrue \Xstanza \setstanzaindents{5,0,1,0,1} \Xstanzaseparator[B]{} \Xstanzaseparator[C]{.} \begin{document} \beginnumbering \linenumberstyle{alph} \stanza AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA & BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB & CCCCCCC\edtext{CCCCC}{\Bfootnote{test 1}\Bendnote{test 1}}& DDDDDDDDDDDD \& \bigskip \linenumberstyle{arabic} \setlinenum{0}% \pstart This is the commentary on Verse 1. \edtext{something in the commentary}{\Cendnote{test 2}\Cfootnote{test 2.}}. \pend \endnumbering \section{Endnotes on Verse 1} \doendnotesbysection{B} \doendnotesbysection{C} \end{document} The footnotes look like this: The endnotes like that: By default, they do look quite different, which to some extent is probably because they are not displayed together with their text, but perhaps they were originally intended for a very different purpose than I would want to use them for here? Actually, I'd like them to appear identical. I do not need the page number as the internal structure of the text is clear if you print the stanza number, and use headings. I suppose the printing of page numbers can be disabled in some way, perhaps using \Xendpagenumberonlyfirst and manually setting the required counter to two or something like that. The lemma marker can be inserted by the \Xendlemmaseparator. What I am more worried about though is that \linenumberstyle{alph} and \Xstanza are not applied to the numbering in the endnotes. Well, I suppose there will be ways of getting these to work, too. Just I am wondering if I am somehow on the wrong track if I need to make so many changes?

I'm writing a lemma with italics font style where I need enumeration in lowercase Roman numerals. I tried different ways and the best I could do is to use the package enumerate like this: \usepackage{enumerate} \begin{document} \begin{lemma} For any graph G, \begin{enumerate}[(i)] \item L(G) is symmetric. \item L(G) is positive semidefinite. \item etc. \end{enumerate} \end{lemma} \end{document} But the problem I'm facing is the tilts of parentheses are more than that I like. Actually I want like this: Any help would be appreciated.

Suppose, I want to draw a 3D cylinder using TikZ’ 3D library. If I just want to draw the outline, it’s straightforward, as I can draw each line in a separate command: \documentclass[tikz]{standalone} \usetikzlibrary{3d} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[z={(0.5cm,0.2cm)}] \newcommand{\atan}{26.565} % the visually rightmost angle \newcommand{\radius}{2} \newcommand{\height}{3} % top \draw[canvas is xz plane at y=0] (\atan:\radius) arc(\atan:\atan-180:\radius) coordinate(top left); % left \draw (top left) -- ++(0,-\height); % bottom \draw[canvas is xz plane at y=-\height] (\atan-180:\radius) arc(\atan-180:\atan:\radius) coordinate(bottom right); % right \draw (bottom right) -- ++(0,\height); % back of top face \draw[canvas is xz plane at y=0,red] (\atan:\radius) arc(\atan:\atan+180:\radius); \end{tikzpicture} This gives me: Now, if I want to fill the faces of the cylinder, I cannot simply adapt the above as the planes are changing all the time. Changing coordinate systems mid-command as described here doesn’t work (or I am using it wrong). How can I do this? I prefer answers that are generalisable and where it is clear what the current coordinate system is at any point (like the above solution). For reference, the desired output is something like this:

I have the current situation where I handled a panel/composite figure with subfigure; I have adjusted sizes so that both images can be visible and occupy the entire page space. The problem is that when I add the caption it covers the page number... I wish for it to break at some point and continue to the next page. I have attempted to use \ContinuedFloat but this has the undesired effect of positionning each subfigure in an independent page. Is there a way to keep images in one page, possibly part of the caption, and having the rest naturally finishing on the following page? Thanks.

I'm putting together a collection of poems I've written. The poems are already written separately in txt files, and I would like to import them directly into my LaTeX file. The reason I don't want to simply copy and paste them is that I want the ability to access and modify them directly, independently of the broader collection I'm writing, and for any modifications to then be reflected directly in the final LaTeX file. The issue I'm having is that if I just \input the files, the line breaks aren't respected. Is there any way to import the file in such a way that LaTeX understands that every new line in the txt file should represent a line break in the final PDF ?

I am submitting a minor revision of my manuscript. One of the reviewers has asked me to remove a section from the manuscript because it is somewhat misaligned with the main focus of the work. I am using the changes package, and the commands \added{...}, \replaced{...}{...}, and \deleted{...} work perfectly well when applied to a single word or even an entire paragraph. However, when I use \deleted{...} to delete an entire section (including the section heading and all of its contents), it does not work as expected. I am aware that there are other solutions, such as latexdiff, but I am not very familiar with it and would prefer to continue using the changes package. Is there a way to use \deleted{...} to mark an entire section as deleted while using only the changes package? If not, is there a recommended way to achieve this with changes without manually applying \deleted{...} to every paragraph?

A document compiled with lualatex used the "Source Sans Pro" font: \setsansfont{Source Sans Pro} However, the new version of the font distributed via TeXLive 2026 is "Source Sans 3".

How to use the "Source Sans 3" font when available, and fall back to the "Source Sans Pro" font otherwise ?

For the edition of a poem together with its commentary, I am considering shifting my critical apparatus to a separate part of the book. This task, I fear, is everything but trivial. I will need to ask a number of questions related to this. Here is the first one. How does one control several registers of endnotes when using \doendnotesbysection? What I am essentially trying to achieve is something like this: verse 1 commentary on verse 1 verse 2 commentary on verse 2 ... [Further down in the book] notes on verse 1 notes on commentary on verse 1 notes on verse 2 notes on commentary on verse 2 ... Where critical notes to the verses go to register B and notes to the commentary to register C. Later, at least one more register is going to be added, for citations/parallels. Even later, possibly more once I edit more than one commentary. But let's start with two registers. Here is an example: \documentclass[article]{memoir} \usepackage{reledmac} \Xstanza \numberstanzatrue \setstanzaindents{5,0,1,0,1} \begin{document} \chapter{Edition} \section{Verse 1} \beginnumbering \stanza AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA & BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB & CCCCCCC\edtext{CCCCC}{\Bendnote{test 1}}& DDDDDDD\edtext{DDDDD}{\Bendnote{test 2}} \& \endnumbering \bigskip \beginnumbering \pstart This is the commentary on Verse 1. \edtext{something in the commentary}{\Cendnote{test 3}}. \pend \endnumbering \section{Verse 2} % Later, I'd rather go with the stanza numbers without inserting sections. \beginnumbering \stanza EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE& FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF & GGGGGGGGGGGGGGG & HHHHHHHH\edtext{HHHHH}{\Bendnote{test 4}} \& \endnumbering \bigskip \beginnumbering \pstart This is the commentary on Verse 2. \edtext{something more.}{\Cendnote{test 5}}. \pend [3]: https://i.sstatic.net/V07RqpTt.png \endnumbering \chapter{Critical Apparatus} \section{Verse 1} \doendnotesbysection{B} \doendnotesbysection{C} \section{Verse 2} \doendnotesbysection{B} \doendnotesbysection{C} \section{does not exist} \doendnotesbysection{B} \doendnotesbysection{C} \section{does not exist either} \doendnotesbysection{B} \doendnotesbysection{C} \end{document} The last two sections in the apparatus I had to add in order to understand what happens, which was a surprise to me: In the result, we see that for each section in the apparatus, only one set of notes is printed, and I do not understand the logic by which it is happening. It looks as if first all notes of the B series are printed, followed by all notes of the C series. Now if I try to catch that, and adapt my example as follows: \section{Verse 1} \doendnotesbysection{B} \section{Commentary on Verse 1} \doendnotesbysection{C} \section{Verse 2} \doendnotesbysection{B} \section{Commentary on Verse 2} \doendnotesbysection{C} I get the following output: Why is there no output at all in the sections “Commentary on Verse 1” and “Verse 2”? How do I control the output of the different series of registers?

I trying to make some algorithmic in LaTeX (how crazy am I !), but I'm stuck on something. I make a for loop to count some elements of an array (actually 2D array, but the issue is not from that). Do do that, I use a counter that I increment on each steps of the foreach loop: \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \newcount\mycounter \mycounter=0 \foreach\i in {0,1,...,5}{% \advance\mycounter by1 It. \i : Counter is \the\mycounter } In the end : \the\mycounter \end{document} But in the end, the counter seems to be updated only locally and its value is 0 : It. 0: Counter is 1 It. 1: Counter is 1 It. 2: Counter is 1 It. 3: Counter is 1 It. 4: Counter is 1 It. 5: Counter is 1 In the end : 0 I did not managed to find an explanation to this, and how to fix this :/ I also tried to look another way to make for loop in (La)TeX, but except this discussion that I did not manage to adapt to my case, I did not found it...

I’m writing to report a reproducible issue with TeXShop’s built-in PDF preview after upgrading to macOS Golden Gate. Description: After each compilation, the PDF preview window systematically shows the page one page before the expected SyncTeX position. This happens even with a minimal document. Minimal example: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \section{First section} \lipsum[1-10] \section{Second section} \lipsum[11-20] \section{Third section} \lipsum[21-30] \end{document} Steps to reproduce: Open this file in TeXShop. Ensure SyncTeX is enabled (Preferences → Typeset → Sync Method: SyncTeX). Place the cursor in the “Third section”. Compile with Cmd-T. The PDF preview shows the previous page instead of the page corresponding to the current source line. Environment: macOS: Golden Gate TeXShop: 5.57 TeX Live: 2026 tlmgr revision 79639 (2026-07-10 18:45:34 +0200) installation: /usr/local/texlive/2026 Engine: pdflatex (SyncTeX enabled via -synctex=1) The issue started immediately after upgrading to macOS Golden Gate and did not occur on the previous macOS version. Could this be a regression in TeXShop’s PDF preview / SyncTeX handling under macOS Golden Gate? I’m happy to provide additional information (logs, screen recording, etc.) if needed.

I want to reduce the dimension of the formula in the image, keeping the arrow pointing to the green square containing ’2’. It works fine without \scalebox. However, using this command a displacement of the arrow's endpoint emerges... how can I solve this? With thanks. Below, find my code (compiled via LuaLatex): \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{tikzmark,calc,positioning,fit,arrows,shapes,backgrounds,shapes.geometric,arrows.meta,patterns.meta,decorations.pathreplacing} \begin{document} \begin{frame} \begin{equation*} \text{\scalebox{0.95}{$f(t) = \left\{ \begin{array}{l} x \; \; \text{if $t < 0$ or $t = 1.05\tikzmarknode[fill=green,inner sep = 2pt,outer sep=1pt]{a}{2}3$} \\[10pt] y, \; \; \text{otherwise} \end{array} \right.$}} \end{equation*} \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay] \node[inner sep=2pt] (b) [above right=3.0cm and 4.0cm of current page.center]{$z$}; \path[<-] (a) edge [out=90,in=180] (b); \end{tikzpicture} \end{frame} \end{document}

In what situations should I use \noexpand after \romannumeral? For example, the trimspaces package contains the following code: \catcode`\Q=3 \newcommand\trim@spaces[1]{% \romannumeral-`\q\trim@trim@\noexpand#1Q Q% } \long\def\trim@trim@#1 Q{\trim@trim@@#1Q} \long\def\trim@trim@@#1Q#2{#1} \catcode`\Q=11 Why is the \noexpand in \trim@spaces necessary? Edit: I managed to create an example where \noexpand does not seem to be important. % !TeX TS-program = lualatex \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \def\y{1} \expandafter\def\expandafter\x\expandafter{\romannumeral-`\. \y} \show\x % >\y . \end{document} Note how the \y macro survived expansion.

I want to show a sequence of reaction, keeping the environment reaction: for the first alcyne, the triple bond is clearly visible; on the other hand, for the next two, it no longer appears \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{chemfig} \usepackage{chemmacros} \begin{document} \begin{reaction} \chemfig{R_1-C~C-H}->[ base~forte] "\chemfig{R_1-C~C\mch{}}" %+\ch{BH} ->[ "\chemfig{R_2-X}" ] "\chemfig{R_1-C~C-R_2}" \label{rxn:bilansnalcyne}% \end{reaction} \end{document}

In the following example, to be compiled with LuaLaTeX, I have a Sanskrit text which, while in the source file it is written in IAST transliteration, in the PDF output it is rendered in Devanāgarī, which is done by babel's transform mechanism. \documentclass{memoir} \usepackage{fontspec} \defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX} \setmainfont{Noto Serif} \usepackage[english]{babel} \babelprovide[% typography/prehyphenchar = `-, transforms=transliteration.iast, ]{sanskrit} \babelfont{rm}{Noto Serif} \babelfont[*devanagari]{rm}[Renderer=Harfbuzz]{Noto Serif Devanagari} \usepackage{reledmac} \linenumberstyle{arabic} \setcounter{firstlinenum}{1} \setcounter{linenumincrement}{1} \begin{document} \begin{otherlanguage}{sanskrit} \beginnumbering \pstart athety ayam adhikārārthaḥ. yogānuśāsanaṃ śāstram adhikṛtaṃ veditavyam. yogaḥ samādhiḥ. sa ca sārvabhaumaś cittasya dharmaḥ. kṣiptaṃ mūḍhaṃ vikṣiptam ekāgraṃ niruddham iti cittabhūmayaḥ. tatra vikṣipte cetasi vikṣepopasarjanībhūtaḥ samādhir na yogapakṣe vartate. yas tv ekāgre cetasi sadbhūtam arthaṃ pradyotayati kṣiṇoti ca kleśān karmabandhanāni ślathayati nirodham abhimukhaṃ karoti sa saṃprajñāto yoga ity ākhyāyate. sa ca vitarkānugato vicārānugata ānandānugato 'smitānugata ity upariṣṭān nivedayiṣyāmaḥ. sarvavṛttinirodhe tv asaṃprajñātaḥ samādhiḥ. 1.1 \pend \endnumbering \end{otherlanguage} \end{document} I would prefer the line numbering to be exempt from that transformation, so that the numbers in the left margin appear in the usual Arabic form. One possibility to do that could be to open the Sanskrit environment only after \pstart and close it before \pend, but that would then lead to the lemmas not being displayed properly, and possibly other complications. Is there a way to wrap the line numbers in an English language environment?

As indicated in the title, I am trying to create new delimiters (variable-sized if possible!) derived from the pair (\rceil, \lceil) by adding an arrowhead at the bottom of these symbols. After looking at these questions How do I superimpose two math symbols? Exact positioning of superimposed symbols How do you superimpose two symbols over each other? I tried to superimpose \downarrow and \rceil (respectively \lceil), using the following code \documentclass[]{article} \newcommand{\da}{\downarrow} \makeatletter \newcommand{\dar}{\mathrel{\mathpalette\eqdr@t\relax}} \newcommand{\eqdr@t}[2]{% \ooalign{% $\m@th#1\rceil$\cr \hidewidth$\m@th#1\da$\hidewidth\cr }% } \newcommand{\dal}{\mathrel{\mathpalette\eqdl@t\relax}} \newcommand{\eqdl@t}[2]{% \ooalign{% $\m@th#1\lceil$\cr \hidewidth$\m@th#1\da$\hidewidth\cr }% } \makeatother \begin{document} $u\dal I \dar$ \qquad $u\dal I \cup J \dar$ \end{document} but, as you can see on the picture, the downarrow is slightly too high and does not superimpose perfectly. I'm not particularly keen on using \downarrow if there are better ways to obtain the arrowheads.

I have a large TikZ picture showing the different steps from a pipeline. I have grouped different steps inside their own scope, to make it easier to differentiate paths and file names (which have similar names). In the main text, I describe the different steps of the pipeline. My advisor suggested putting the picture of the steps I'm describing in a small picture next to the paragraphs (as the description goes on for a while). Here is a MWE, which should convey what I want to to in my document: \documentclass{scrarticle} \KOMAoption{parskip}{half-} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta, fit, math, positioning} \begin{document} \begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{pipeline.tikz} \begin{tikzpicture}[x = 1cm, y = 1cm, inner sep=0pt, outer sep=0pt]% \begin{scope}[local bounding box=setup]% \draw[red,fill=red!90!white] (-2, 0) circle [radius=1cm];% \end{scope}% \begin{scope}[local bounding box=result]% \draw[blue,fill=blue!90!white] (1.5, -1) rectangle (3.5, 1);% \end{scope}% \draw[->,thick] ([xshift=5mm]setup.east) -- ([xshift=-5mm]result.west);% \end{tikzpicture}% \end{filecontents} \begin{figure}% \centering% \input{pipeline.tikz}% \caption{The whole pipeline.}% \label{fig/pipeline}% \end{figure}% This text is supposed to explain the pipeline: \begin{itemize} \begin{minipage}{.7\textwidth}% \item% This is the first step of the pipeline. A long text is supposed to explain what exactly is going on, which can be quite long. Sometimes, the description goes on for more than three lines! \end{minipage}\hfill% \begin{minipage}{.28\textwidth}% \centering% \includegraphics[width=.8\textwidth,height=2\baselineskip]{example-image-a}\\% Should be the scope \texttt{setup} from figure 1. \end{minipage}\\% \begin{minipage}{.7\textwidth}% \item% This is the second step of the pipeline. An even longer text is supposed to explain what exactly is going on, which can be quite long. And even then, three lines are the minimum; sometimes I get crazy and get to four lines! \end{minipage}\hfill% \begin{minipage}{.28\textwidth}% \centering% \includegraphics[width=.8\textwidth,height=2\baselineskip]{example-image-b}\\% Should be the scope \texttt{result} from figure 1. \end{minipage} \end{itemize} \end{document} Which gives the following (LuaLaTeX from TeXLive 2026): Is there a way to tell TikZ to only draw a certain scope from a larger TikZ picture ? Or should I maybe do an export of the steps in a PDF file and only include them when necessary ? I'm looking for a TeX/TikZ-only solution to avoid having picture contents "out of sync", since I will have to tweak the larger pipeline picture a bit. Note: As far as I can tell, the spy library (related question here) cannot help me here, as my text should live outside of the TikZ picture.

I'm writing a text and I'd like to quote a small rhyme in the middle of my paragraphs. I'd like it for the rhyme to be centered and specifically for all its verses to occupy the same length (that is, for the rhyme to look like a square basically, margins-wise, instead of a line followed by a longer line, then a shorter one, etc.). What I'd been writing till now was something like \begin{center} \textit{Littera gesta docet;} \\ \textit{quid credas Allegoria.} \\ \textit{Moralis quid agas;} \\ \textit{quo tendas, Anagogia} \end{center}`. This, as I said, doesn't give me what I want, for, say, the second line ends up longer than the first. I'd like it for the whole rhyme to have "margins," as long as its longest line, and have the other, shorter lines, perhaps stretched just a tiny bit so that they all fit this length. (Normally this might not be all that desirable, but since all the lines of this rhyme don't differ that much in length, I figured it wouldn't look all that bad visually speaking.)
