I'm having trouble with the nomenclature not showing up when all content enters via an \include statement. It seems the nomenclature cannot be compiled independently, but needs some content before it. A minimal not working example is: % main.tex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{nomencl} \makenomenclature \begin{document} % content \include{content} % nomenclature \nomenclature{\(c\)}{Speed of light in a vacuum} \nomenclature{\(h\)}{Planck constant} \printnomenclature \end{document} where content.tex is file with just the word 'test': % content.tex test A minimal working example would be exchanging \include{content} with test. How can I have my nomenclature show up and neatly separate all preceding sections with \include without having to add extraneous content?

The question is similar to this classical one. I followed the following instructions with inkscape and svg2tikz: Procedure: import your bitmap image. vectorize it by Inkscape (potrace algorithm). delete bitmap image. adjust document to content. export it by inkscape2tikz extension. Then, export the svg figure with svg2tikz, it give me the following: \documentclass[tikz]{standalone} \begin{document} \def \globalscale {1.000000} \begin{tikzpicture}[y=1cm, x=1cm, yscale=-\globalscale,xscale=\globalscale, every node/.append style={scale=\globalscale}, inner sep=0pt, outer sep=0pt] \path[fill=black] (8.9, 20.3).. controls (8.8, 20.3) and (8.7, 20.2) ..

Here below is the original blurry image: Says that I want a closed and smooth path, any suggestion on the process above? Edited: I try with Gemini-3.5-Flash with the following prompt: Identify the path and return to me a smooth TikZ Bezier closed curve. Which give the code: \documentclass[tikz,border=10pt]{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw [ line width=1.5pt, color=black!80, line cap=round, line join=round ] (0.2, 2.2) .. controls (1.0, 2.2) and (1.5, 1.9) ..

I am using the "related entries" feature of Biblatex to cross-reference and show relationships among the publications in my Biblatex + Biber bibliography. The bibliography uses the default numeric citation style (e.g., "[1]"). For some reason, the citations generated by my related:... macros have extraneous space between the opening square bracket and the first digit of the citation key. Consider the following minimal example: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{biblatex} \begin{filecontents}{test.bib} @article{eger2025transforming, author = {John Eger}, title = {Transforming Science}, journal = {Journal of Foo}, year = 2025, volume = 1, related = {eger2026transforming}, relatedtype = {later}, } @article{eger2026transforming, author = {John Eger}, title = {Transforming Science}, journal = {Journal of Bar}, year = 2026, volume = 1, } \end{filecontents} \NewBibliographyString{later} \DefineBibliographyStrings{english}{later = {Later published as }} \newbibmacro*{related:later}[1]{% \entrydata{#1}{\autocite{\thefield{clonesourcekey}}}} \addbibresource{test.bib} \begin{document} \nocite{eger2025transforming,eger2026transforming} \printbibliography \end{document} The first entry in the bibliography is rendered as [1] John Eger. “Transforming Science”. In: Journal of Foo 1 (2025). Later published as [ 2]. rather than as [1] John Eger. “Transforming Science”. In: Journal of Foo 1 (2025). Later published as [2]. I can't see anything in my related:later macro that would be causing this extra space. Is this a bug in Biblatex or some problem with my code?

I have a file for course notes that uses subfiles for each section of the notes, and phantomsection to group several sections into a "Unit". My main file is mathNotes.tex, with multiple subfiles: testFile1p1.tex, testFile2p1.tex, etc. (the actual project is significantly larger). In the following MWE, the phantomsection's are before each subfile for the corresponding unit, but the phantomsection appears in the TOC after the subfiles: mathNotes.tex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{subfiles,hyperref} \begin{document} \tableofcontents \pagebreak \phantomsection \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Unit 1} \subfileinclude{subfiles/testFile1p1.tex} \phantomsection \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Unit 2} \subfileinclude{subfiles/testFile2p1.tex} \end{document} testFile1p1.tex: \documentclass[../mathNotes]{subfiles} \begin{document} \section{Section in unit 1} stuff and things \end{document} testFile2p1.tex: \documentclass[../mathNotes]{subfiles} \begin{document} \section{Section in unit 2} things and stuff \end{document} Here is how the document appears in Evince: What syntax should I use to correct this? I know I could put each phantomsection at the beginning of the first file for that unit, but I want the phantomsection's in the main file since it makes organizing the units more straightforward. Also, I'm certain I had this working at one point, but despite my best efforts, I can't find what I changed in my git history.

I have a collection of exercise files that I later assemble into worksheets/tests. A simplified example looks like this: \begin{subexercises} \subexercise Hello \subexercise World \subexercise ! \subexercise ? \end{subexercises} \subexercise is a custom wrapper around \item that also handles additional formatting (margin notes, points, etc.). I would now like to selectively include only certain subexercises without editing the source files each time. For example, with something like \renewcommand{\subexselect}{1,4} I would want the output to contain only a) Hello b) ? So the numbering should remain continuous even though some subexercises are skipped. I also would like to keep the \item-like syntax \subexercise Hello instead of changing all files to something argument-based like \subexercise{Hello} because I already have many existing exercise files and like the syntax better (and partly also because I'm interested in how to achieve this and maybe learning something new that way). What I tried 1. Using conditionals inside \subexercise I experimented with \if...\fi constructs and tried to place balancing \iftrue / \fi pairs into begin/end hooks of the environment. I could not get this to work reliably. 2. Using pgfparser to gobble unwanted items I then tried parsing tokens until the next \subexercise and discarding them when the current item should not be printed. This almost works, except for the final item because there is no following \subexercise token to stop the parser. I also tried using \end{subexercises} as an alternative stop condition, but I could not figure out how to do this properly since it is not a single token. It works with an additional stop-marker at the end of the environment but having to manually insert this marker at the end of the environment is bad. Here is a minimal example of that attempt (when not including 4 in the list I get an emergency stop): \documentclass{article} \usepackage{enumitem} \usepackage{pgfparser} \newlist{subexercises}{enumerate}{1} \setlist[subexercises]{label=\alph*)} \newcommand{\subexselect}{} \newcounter{subexcount} \setcounter{subexcount}{0} \newcommand{\subexercise}[1][]{% \stepcounter{subexcount}% \ifnum\pdfmatch{\thesubexcount}{\subexselect}=1% \item \else \pgfparserparse{subex}% \fi } \pgfparserdef{subex}{all}\subexercise{\pgfparserswitch{final}\pgfparserreinsert} \pgfparserset{subex/silent=true} %\newcommand{subexend}{} %\pgfparserdef{subex}{all}subexend{\pgfparserswitch{final}} %\pgfparserdeffinal{subex}{} \begin{document} \renewcommand{\subexselect}{1,4} \begin{subexercises} \subexercise Hello \subexercise World \subexercise ! \subexercise ? %subexend \end{subexercises} \end{document} Question How can this kind of selective inclusion be implemented while preserving the \item-like syntax, i.e. not replacing subexercise by a macro that takes the body of the \item as argument?

Question similar to this, but not solved with that solution. Working on a Mac machine with TeXShop. I am compiling a sample bibliography with biber (but found the error on a much more complex project, arisen out of a blue...), but no Bibliography or citations are printed. MWE test.tex \documentclass{book} \usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex} \addbibresource{biblio.bib} \begin{document} Hello\autocite{test} \nocite{*} \printbibliography \end{document} biblio.bib is this: @book{test, author = {Smith, John}, title = {Test title}, year = {2026}, publisher = {Publisher} } I compile (regardless from terminal or from TeXShop, the result is the same): xelatex test.tex biber test xelatex test.tex xelatex test.tex biber "crashes silently" with this result (no other responses, even after waiting): INFO - This is Biber 2.21 INFO - Logfile is 'test.blg' INFO - Reading 'test.bcf' INFO - Using all citekeys in bib section 0 INFO - Processing section 0 INFO - Looking for bibtex file 'biblio.bib' for section 0 INFO - LaTeX decoding ...

If I enquire with which I get: mysistem@mysistem test % which -a biber /Library/TeX/texbin/biber mysistem@mysistem test % which -a xelatex /Library/TeX/texbin/xelatex I updated all packages from TeXLive/MacTex. I notice that this issue has arisen out of nothing while hours ago it was working all seamlessly... Can you enlighten me? I don't know what's wrong! It looks that biber does not proceed correctly...

I'm wanting to validate that my PDF satisfies WCAG accessibility. PDFix lists several WCAG profiles that it will use, but I would rather use veraPDF (which shares the same backend as PDFix). Is it possible to do so? How do the profiles relate to each other?

I am hapily using TeXmaker for writing my files and many things are done out of my sights. Now I'm generating the .tex via script and I want to use batch process to compile them automatically. I have found quite mysterious line in TeXmaker's Options: lualatex -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex. Recently I have found another option for the arguments passed to the luaLaTeX -output-folder=[desired folder] and I started wondering what are other arguments i can pass to (lua)(La)TeX compiler. So far I couldn't find anything remotely helpful while googling for it. Is there any list of compiler arguments?

I am converting a dissertation written in LaTeX to docx format using pandoc. By fine-tuning my pandoc command and my reference document, I have made it so that pandoc can produce an almost perfect docx output, with one exception: I am getting extra outside parentheses around the citations generated by \cite{key} commands. Initial long citations are appearing as: "(Author, Title (Place: Publisher, Date), [page #])"; when they should be: "Author, Title (Place: Publisher, Date), [page #]". And subsequent short citations are appearing as: "(Author, Short Title, [page #])"; when they should be: "Author, Short Title, [page #]". My pandoc command is: pandoc -s dissertation.tex --filter pandoc-crossref --citeproc --bibliography=dissertation.bib --csl=chicago-notes-bibliography-subsequent-ibid-classic.csl --reference-doc=dissertation-reference.docx -o dissertation.docx My MWE of the LaTeX is: \documentclass[12pt, oneside]{book} \setcounter{secnumdepth}{5} \setcounter{tocdepth}{5} \usepackage{geometry} \geometry{letterpaper} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage{csquotes} \usepackage{setspace} \singlespacing \usepackage{titlesec} \usepackage{microtype} \usepackage[backend=biber, style=verbose-ibid, language=english]{biblatex} \addbibresource{dissertation.bib} \renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}} \renewcommand*{\thesubparagraph}{\alph{subparagraph}.} \newcommand{\fn}{\footnote} \title{Title} \author{Author} \begin{document} \setlength{\emergencystretch}{1em} \include{Introduction} \include{Chapter_1} \include{Chapter_2} \printbibliography \end{document} All of my \cite{key} commands (so far as I can tell) are located in footnotes, which are created by my custom command: \fn{}. What I have done: (1) I have attempted to figure out where in the CSL file there would be an option to remove the prefix and suffix parentheses that I don't want. I cannot find an applicable option. (2) I have attempted to create lua and python scripts that would strip out the parentheses after --citeproc runs (the lua option didn't work because, so far as I understand, lua files are always accessed before citeproc). When I compile to PDF, everything works as expected. Is there anything I could be doing, particularly on the LaTeX end of things, to prevent this? Thank you for reading and your help!

How can I autocomplete a command in TeXmaker with placeholders, e.g. writing \frac and pressing a key results in \frac{}{} and the cursor cues into the first curly bracket? And how can I jump between placeholders? Tab doesn’t work and I don’t know why, although I’ve seen that the Tab key should do that?

I have a template and a style, which combined should output a PDF. The content comes from Markdown, and the conversion is made with Pandoc. The idea is to create a recipe book. There are environments for dedication, acknowledgements, and preface, and color boxes for ingredients and preparation (with a customized list for preparation steps). Since the book will be created in three different languages, the titles of each section should be customizable (either via the yaml header in the Markdown file, or any similar method which doesn't include changing the LaTeX files). Right now it doesn't output the titles of Dedication, Acknowledgements, Preface – just the contents. It also puts all those on the same page, although I have \cleardoublepage in the begin-code of each environment. I'm quite sure I'm doing something wrong around the environment and colorbox definitions, but my LaTeX knowledge is rusty (to say the least), and none of the small changes I made helped to solve this. Can anybody detect my error and help me to actually print the titles of the environments? What about the fonts? If I try to use Merriweather and Montserrat, I always get an error. (I have them installed on the PC.) Does my Markdown make any sense? Is there a better way of doing the whole thing?

If I have a complicated font declared with many series and shapes under babel applying to one language, then a font for another language is specified that only has much more limited series and shapes, many warnings are produced like this: LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `TU/Aboensis(0)/m/it' undefined (Font) using `TU/Aboensis(0)/m/n' instead on input line... It's possible to get rid of these by manually declaring the font to fallback, e.g., ItalicFont = {Aboensis} But this becomes tedious if you are working with many families and series and shapes. I guess it's also possible to use the silence package, but I wouldn't want to supress all these warnings, only ones related to the particular font in question. What are my options to declare things neatly and avoid the warnings? Here's a MWE that produces warnings: %! TeX Program = lualatex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{babel} \babelprovide[import,main]{australian} \babelprovide[import]{german} \babelfont{rm} [ FontFace={l}{n}{Font=Noto Serif Light}, FontFace={l}{it}{Font=Noto Serif Light Italic} ] {Noto Serif} \babelfont[german]{rm}{Aboensis} \begin{document} {\itshape English \foreignlanguage{german}{Deutsch}} {\fontseries{l} English \foreignlanguage{german}{Deutsch}} {\fontseries{l} English \foreignlanguage{german}{Deutsch}} {\fontseries{l}\itshape English \foreignlanguage{german}{Deutsch}} \end{document} The warnings can be removed using: \babelfont[german]{rm}[ ItalicFont = Aboensis, FontFace={l}{n}{Font=Aboensis}, FontFace={l}{it}{Font=Aboensis}, ]{Aboensis} But If I have to deal with lots of series and shapes as well as sf and tt families, it becomes verbose. I want something simpler and more compact.

I need to draw some balls at the entrance (and if possible at the bottom) of the Galton board like the following picture: Code: \documentclass[tikz]{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \def\distance{0.3cm} \def\layer{10} \def\radius{2pt} % draw the nails \foreach \i in {0,...,\layer} { \foreach \j in {0,...,\numexpr\i+1\relax} { \draw ({-\distance*\i/2 + \distance*\j}, {-sqrt(3)*\distance*\i/2}) circle[radius=\radius]; } } % draw the slant board on both sides \draw ({-\layer*\distance/2-sqrt(3)*\radius}, {-sqrt(3)*\distance*\layer/2-\radius}) -- (0,2*\radius) -- +(-4pt,4pt); \draw ({-\layer*\distance/2+\distance*(\layer+1)+sqrt(3)*\radius}, {-sqrt(3)*\distance*\layer/2-\radius}) -- (\distance,2*\radius) -- +(4pt,4pt); % draw the separator plates \foreach \i in {0,...,\numexpr\layer+1\relax} { \draw ({-\layer*\distance/2 + \i*\distance}, {-sqrt(3)*\layer*\distance/2 - \radius}) -- ++ (0,-0.5cm); } % draw the bottom line \draw ({-\layer*\distance/2},{-sqrt(3)*\layer*\distance/2 - \radius - 0.5cm}) -- ++ ({(\layer+1)*\distance},0); % number the separated areas \foreach \i in {0,...,\numexpr\layer\relax} { \node at ({-\layer*\distance/2 + \distance*(\i+0.5)},{-sqrt(3)*\layer*\distance/2 - \radius - 0.7cm}) {\footnotesize\i}; } \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I am trying to draw a 3D graph that looks like the attached picture. However, I cannot make the axes behave in the same way. In the picture, some intervals of the axes appear on top of the surface, while on other intervals the surface appears above the axes. I would also like the axis labels to stay outside the arrow tips. What I have tried so far is shown below, together with the attached picture. I would like a solution that works for arbitrary functions, not only for this particular example. \documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]{standalone} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat=1.18} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[ view={45}{20}, axis lines=center, %axis on top, axis line style={-latex}, xlabel={$x$}, ylabel={$y$}, zlabel={$z$}, ticks=none, xmin=-5, xmax=5, ymin=-5, ymax=5, zmin=-4, zmax=4, width=7cm, height=7cm, colormap/jet, declare function={ f(\x,\y)=10*\y/((\x^2 + 1)*(\y^2 + 2*\y + 4)); }, ] \addplot3[ surf, opacity=0.6, faceted color=black!80, samples=60, samples y=60, domain=-4:4, y domain=-4:4, line width=0.01pt, ] (({x},{y},{f(x,y)}); \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I'd like to change the arrow style to eg stealth for voltages and currents, \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage[europeanresistors]{circuitikz} \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta} \begin{document} \begin{circuitikz} \draw (0,0) to[R, l=$R$, i=$I_R$, v<=$V_R$] (4,0); \end{circuitikz} \end{document}

I have a monster LaTeX project that I'm making accessible with tagging: \DocumentMetadata{ tagging=on, lang=en-US, pdfstandard=UA-2, tagging-setup={ math/alt/use, math/setup=mathml-SE } } This takes a non-instantaneous amount of time to compile. To speed things up while I'm editing with TeXShop, I will often turn off tagging and/or includeonly a single chapter. Once I'm done with my edits, I'll turn tagging back on and compile from the command line so that I can increase the required memory limits. My problem is that I will sometimes forget and try to compile the entire tagged document from within TeXShop. Because the compilation won't complete, my aux files get corrupted. This takes a few more compilations to fix, and is annoying. Is there a way that I can abort the compilation (1) before opening any of the aux files (2) if tagging is active, (3) I'm compiling the entire document, and (4) I haven't increased the memory limits?

I am working with the following document class: \documentclass[pra,superscriptaddress,twocolumn,amsmath,amssymb]{revtex4-1} The document is in two-column mode, and I am trying to typeset a table that contains long mathematical expressions in the column headers. However, I am running into issues with column width control and overfull boxes. Here is a minimal working example of the table I am using: \begin{table}[h] \centering \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|} \hline S.No. & Enzyme type $\alpha_1/\xi_1, \alpha_2/\xi_1, \alpha_3/\xi_1, \alpha_4/\xi_1, \alpha_5/\xi_1, \alpha_6/\xi_1, \alpha_7/\xi_1$ & Findings $\beta_1, \beta_2, \beta_3$ & Conclusion $R/P$\\ \hline First run & & & \\ \hline Second run & & & \\ \hline Third run & & & \\ \hline Fourth run & & & \\ \hline \end{tabular} \caption{Experimental trials} \label{tab:mytab} \end{table} Problem: Because the second column contains a long sequence of mathematical expressions, the table exceeds the column width in the two-column layout. What is the best way of fitting this table in single column in a two column layout?

I’m trying to create professional-looking molecular polarity diagrams in LaTeX (using TikZ or chemfig if possible). I need help sketching the partial charges cloud distribution for the following molecules: HCl H₂O CO₂ Moved from a non-answer (it's no solution, just problem description), and adding missing lines to make the posted code compile by MS-SPO this is so far my code, but I don't know how to connect all the clouds to give me a similar figure like the image \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{calc} \begin{document} % Source - https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/763072 % Posted by Abdelhalim AANIBA, modified by community.

I have a png image that contains pure black crosshatching and the rest is fully transparent. I added that to a tikz image, but against a black background, a fine white line is added (see the picture) around the edges of the hatching. Why is the white line there and how can I get rid of it? Is this an issue with the image or with how I am using tikz? edit: here is a link to the file: https://limewire.com/d/47cga#KK6HtC3jAV (I am using an external file sharing site, because pasting the file here as an image actually removed the issue. My problem is solved, but I still don't know what was wrong or how to fix this outside of making an SO question, pasting the image there, downloading a second copy and discarding the question without posting it. At least this confirms that the issue was with the image.) Edit: I am using the default Ubuntu Document Viewer. I also tried several free online pdf viewers, all had the same issue. Here is my code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[paperheight=8cm, paperwidth=6cm, left=0pt, top=0pt, right=0pt, bottom=0pt]{geometry} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay, shift = {(current page.south west)}] \node at (current page.center) [] {\includegraphics[height=\paperheight]{example-image-a.png}}; \node at (current page.center) [] {\includegraphics[height=\paperheight, width=\paperwidth]{ims/border_pure_black.png}}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

I encountered a problem while writing. Consider the following example in Plain TeX: \def\cmd{ \par\noindent\hfil ??? \par\noindent\hfil ??? \par\noindent\hfil ??? } {\cmd} \par \bye The compilation generates: Note the last misaligned line. Why didn't \par remove the two spaces preceding it? Note that if I add a percentage mark to the end of the definition of \cmd or to the end of {\cmd}, the problem disappears: \def\cmd{ \par\noindent\hfil ??? \par\noindent\hfil ??? \par\noindent\hfil ???% } {\cmd} \par \bye Or \def\cmd{ \par\noindent\hfil ??? \par\noindent\hfil ??? \par\noindent\hfil ??? } {\cmd}% \par \bye Generates: The original code that generated this question is similar to (the definition of \eject in Plain TeX is \def\eject{\par\break}): \def\printA{ \par\noindent\hfil City \par\noindent\hfil Year } \def\printB{ \eject more... } \def\printC{ \printA \printB } \printC \bye

Is it the bracealign package that generates such large exponents equal to the base of the power? \documentclass{article} \usepackage{bracealign} \begin{document} \[ \begin{bracealign} = x^{\overbrace{(m+1)+\cdots+(m+1)}^{k}} = x_{\underbrace{(m+1)+\cdots+(m+1)}_{k}} \end{bracealign} \] \end{document}

For some reasons, I need to create a multi-column layout without using the popular packages for multi-column text. What I do is, I grab the text, set it inside a box of restricted \hsize, split the box with \vbox_set_split_to_ht:NNn. Then the split boxes are unpacked inside coffins, they are attached with some x offset and typeset. Have a look at the following MWE: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[margin=3cm]{geometry} \usepackage{kantlipsum} \usepackage{microtype} \begin{document} \ExplSyntaxOn \vbox_set:Nn \l_tmpa_box { \hsize = 0.475 \linewidth \prg_do_nothing: \kant [ 1 - 3 ] } \vbox_set_split_to_ht:NNn \l_tmpb_box \l_tmpa_box { \textheight - \baselineskip % to get the effect of a \vtop } \vcoffin_set:Nnn \l_tmpa_coffin { 0.475 \linewidth } { \vbox_unpack_drop:N \l_tmpb_box } \vcoffin_set:Nnn \l_tmpb_coffin { 0.475 \linewidth } { \vbox_unpack_drop:N \l_tmpa_box } \coffin_join:NnnNnnnn \l_tmpa_coffin { r } { t } \l_tmpb_coffin { l } { t } { 0.025 \linewidth } \c_zero_dim \coffin_typeset:Nnnnn \l_tmpa_coffin { l } { t } \c_zero_dim \c_zero_dim \ExplSyntaxOff \end{document} This produces: I read that \splittopskip could be causing this, but it is 10pt which nearly is of a line's height and as can be seen from the screenshot, our difference is smaller than that. I tried \lineskip and that did produce a tiny amount of space which I thought could be related to the spurious space, but I require 3 times the \lineskip to get both the columns at the right position. \documentclass{article} \usepackage[margin=3cm]{geometry} \usepackage{kantlipsum} \usepackage{microtype} \begin{document} \ExplSyntaxOn \vbox_set:Nn \l_tmpa_box { \hsize = 0.475 \linewidth \prg_do_nothing: \kant [ 1 - 3 ] } \vbox_set_split_to_ht:NNn \l_tmpb_box \l_tmpa_box { \textheight - \baselineskip % to get the effect of a \vtop } \vcoffin_set:Nnn \l_tmpa_coffin { 0.475 \linewidth } { \vbox_unpack_drop:N \l_tmpb_box } \vcoffin_set:Nnn \l_tmpb_coffin { 0.475 \linewidth } { \vbox_unpack_drop:N \l_tmpa_box } \coffin_join:NnnNnnnn \l_tmpa_coffin { r } { t } \l_tmpb_coffin { l } { t } { 0.025 \linewidth } { 3 \lineskip } \coffin_typeset:Nnnnn \l_tmpa_coffin { l } { t } \c_zero_dim \c_zero_dim \ExplSyntaxOff \end{document} I am almost sure that \lineskip is not the correct macro to be used there, but then which one exactly is it? What stores the culprit skip/glue? What would be a recommended (and preferably L3) way of doing it?

What I want is the arrow path patterns as below, but not only work for straight line, but ployline, curve, as path style/decoration: \documentclass[tikz,border=6pt]{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \foreach \i in {1,...,5} \draw[-latex,shorten >=2pt, shorten <=2pt] (\i,0) -- ({\i+1},0); \end{tikzpicture} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[-latex,shorten >=2pt, shorten <=2pt] (0.5,0) -- (1,0); \foreach \i in {1,...,5} \draw[-latex,shorten >=2pt, shorten <=2pt] (\i,0) -- ({\i+1},0); \node[text width=5.5cm,align=left,anchor=north] at (3,-.25) {If the length is not exactly N cm, then I hope the starting point could be shortened. For instance, the 5.5cm here, I want the first arrow to start at 0.5cm, then follows five 1cm arrows.}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} I don't think the following is the same as my case: Draw consecutive arrows with TikZ Generating Multiple Arrow Decorations in Series Here below is my attempt with decoration, but not what I want: \documentclass[tikz,border=6pt]{standalone} \usetikzlibrary{decorations.markings,arrows.meta} \tikzset{ multiarrow/.style={ decoration={ markings, mark=between positions 0.1 and 0.9 step 0.2 with { \draw[-Stealth,shorten >=1pt, shorten <=1pt] (-10pt,0) -- (10pt,0); % the gap here not what I want... and hard to control the `0.1 and 0.9 step 0.2' } }, postaction=decorate } } \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \path[multiarrow] (-2,-3) -- (2,-3); % good! \path[multiarrow,yshift=-1cm] (-2,-3) -- (2,-3)-- (5,-2); % not good! % \draw[multiarrow] plot[ % domain=-5:5, % samples=160, % smooth, % variable=\x % ] ({\x},{sin(\x r)}) % -- (5,-2) % -- (-5,-2) % -- cycle; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} I want every arrow to be, says, fixed, 1cm length, shorten 1pt of both sides, for example of the closed path, I want something as below: (Quite sure that may be duplicated post, but I can't find that...)

The tensor product symbol \otimes comes with a big version \bigotimes. Then there is also the external / box product symbol \boxtimes, however it doesn't come with a big version unlike the tensor product. Is there a way to get a big version of \boxtimes, e.g. \bigboxtimes, that behaves similarly to the good ol' \bigotimes in math mode? Here is a MWE with the symbol packages in use: \documentclass[11pt,a4paper,twoside]{report} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amsthm} \usepackage{latexsym} \usepackage{mathtools} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{gensymb} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{calc} \usepackage{tikz-cd} \usepackage{mathcomp} \begin{document} Here are the three products in display math mode: \[ \otimes,\bigotimes,\boxtimes \] \end{document} Here is a comparison between \bigboxtimes from kabenyuk's solution and \bigotimes: I feel like typographically it would more aesthetic if \bigboxtimes were a little smaller due to the fact that it's a square. I think the right size comparison should be that both inside crosses should be of equal size.
