I'm learning to draw commutative diagrams using the xy-pic package. I don’t know how to insert pictures on this forum yet, so I’ll write what I got with xymatrix: \documentclass[12pt,reqno]{report} \usepackage[all,cmtip]{xy} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[russian]{babel} \begin{document} $$\xymatrix{% Z \ar@{-->}[r]_h \ar `u/8pt[r] `[rr]^{g} [rr] & \displaystyle Y \ar[r]_f & X }$$ $$\xymatrix{% F(Z) \ar[r]_{\alpha} \ar `u/8pt[r] `[rr]^{F(g)} [rr] & \displaystyle F(Y) \ar[r]_{\beta} & F(X) }$$ \end{document} I would like to align both charts in width and and want to turn the ends of the arrows $g$ and $F(g),$ respectively, towards $X$ and $F(X).$ Edit. Here's what I got with your help:

Drawing this type of arrow turned out to be quite complex. I looked at the macro in this post and modified accordingly so that I get the shape I want. However, that macro only prints a single color arrow and it looks painfully difficult to modify to get what I want. Therefore, I thought that I would "emulate" the result by printing two superposed arrows, an original one and one scaled slightly so as to mimic that I have a different border color. This is what I have so far: \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{calc, arrows.meta, bending} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat=1.18} \makeatletter \tikzset{ ararrow/.default={open}{open}, ararrow/.code 2 args={% \tikz@addoption{% \pgfset{tips=true}% draw tips even if the path isn't. \pgfgetpath\currentpath \pgfprocessround{\currentpath}{\currentpath}% \pgf@decorate@parsesoftpath{\currentpath}{\currentpath}% \pgfsetarrowsstart{% Triangle[bend, length=1.*(\pgf@decorate@totalpathlength), width =0.08*(\pgf@decorate@totalpathlength), % <-- added line join=round,#1] } \pgfsetarrowsend{% Stealth[ angle'=60, length=0.22*(\pgf@decorate@totalpathlength), width =0.26*(\pgf@decorate@totalpathlength), line join=round,#2]}% \tikz@mode@drawfalse % disable drawing of path } }, ararrow **/.style={ararrow={}{}}, ararrow oo/.style={ararrow={open}{open}}, ararrow *o/.style={ararrow={}{open}}, ararrow o*/.style={ararrow={open}{}}, } \makeatother \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \coordinate (P) at (0,0); \coordinate (Q) at (1,1); \coordinate (C) at ($(P)!0.5!(Q)$); % outer arrow \draw[blue, ararrow **] (P) to[bend left=45] (Q); % inner arrow: same curve, scaled about C \begin{scope}[ shift={(C)}, scale=0.9, shift={($-1*(C)$)} ] \draw[yellow, ararrow **] (P) to[bend left=45] (Q); \end{scope} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} which produces the image you see. Ideally, it would be great if the macro can be modified to get what I need so the user can simply type: \draw[draw=blue, fill=yellow, ararrow **] (P) to[bend left=45] (Q);

I need to automatically reserve empty space at the bottom of the second column on the first page only in a two-column article. This space will be used later for stamping a thumbnail image during PDF post-processing. Requirements: Only affect the first page, second column Reserve approximately 100pt of blank space at the bottom of the column The text in the second column should be shorter to leave this space empty First column should remain at normal height Should be automatic (no manual commands in document body) Must work with LuaLaTeX (TeX Live 2025) I've tried various approaches with @opcol and @outputdblcol but they either create space at the top instead of bottom, or affect all pages instead of just the first page. \documentclass[twocolumn]{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \makeatletter % Need solution here to reserve 100pt at bottom of second column on page 1 \makeatother \begin{document} \title{Sample Document} \author{Author Name} \maketitle \lipsum[1-20] \end{document} Expected result: The second column on page 1 should have normal text at the top, but stop 100pt before the bottom, leaving that space blank for later thumbnail insertion. What I've tried:I attempted using \afterpage with \footnotetext to create the reserved space: \afterpage{\footnotetext{\fbox{\vbox to 100pt{second column reserved space}}}} This works well for short paragraphs, but fails when long paragraphs continue onto the second page - the reserved space appears on the wrong page. I've also tried various approaches with @opcol and @outputdblcol hooks, but they either create space at the top instead of bottom, or affect all pages instead of just the first page.

I'm trying to follow pages 51-52 of the book Fonts out of ConTeXt to define a font by file: rather than name:; but I must be overlooking something. The path to the font file is /home/gary/programs/context/context-linux-64/tex/texmf/fonts/data/gust/tex-gyre/termes/texgyretermes-​regular.​otf By-name works as: \definefont[Times][name:texgyretermesregular*default at 11pt][line=2.8ex] But by-file does not load. \definefont[Times][file:texgyretermes-​regular.​otf*default at 11pt][line=2.8ex] I did not see an error in the CLI output but the font remains the body font when declared as \Times in an environment within the body. All I did was toggle between commenting the \definefont lines and did not change the body at all. One time the font loads, the other it does not. Thank you. Below is the result of mtxrun --script font --list --all termes and you have to scroll right to see the filename column. I guess I didn't read far enough to the next section that reads The first two columns mention the names that we can use to access a font. This explains why using only texgyretermes loads bold. But I do not understand the meaning of file versus name. identifier familyname fontname filename subfont instances texgyretermesbold texgyretermes texgyretermesbold texgyretermes-bold.otf texgyretermesbolditalic texgyretermes texgyretermesbolditalic texgyretermes-bolditalic.otf texgyretermesitalic texgyretermes texgyretermesitalic texgyretermes-italic.otf texgyretermesmath texgyretermesmath texgyretermesmathregular texgyretermes-math.otf texgyretermesmathcompanion texgyretermesmathcompanion texgyretermesmathcompanionregular TeXGyreTermesMathCompanion-Regular.otf texgyretermesmathcompanionnormal texgyretermesmathcompanion texgyretermesmathcompanionregular TeXGyreTermesMathCompanion-Regular.otf texgyretermesmathcompanionregular texgyretermesmathcompanion texgyretermesmathcompanionregular TeXGyreTermesMathCompanion-Regular.otf texgyretermesmathnormal texgyretermesmath texgyretermesmathregular texgyretermes-math.otf texgyretermesmathregular texgyretermesmath texgyretermesmathregular texgyretermes-math.otf texgyretermesnormal texgyretermes texgyretermesitalic texgyretermes-italic.otf texgyretermesregular texgyretermes texgyretermesregular texgyretermes-regular.otf

I am adding a new feature to circuitikz to simplify the usage of "user-defined" voltages (and currents and "flow"s). The question is not specific to circuitikz, although the MWE is — sorry for the complication. If I manage a smaller MWE I'll post here. The basic question is: when a TikZ \path command is processed (and a \draw, etc., which are basically the same), is it possible to add a hook to be expanded at the end of it? I mean, after the final ; is found. In the following MWE, I would like to add some code to the addcall key so that I do not need to add the final \DoAdvVoltages. Ideally, the macro should be called after each path is finished, but calling it before the end of the environment would be acceptable. In order of preference, the solution should: call \DoAdvVoltages at every end of the path, when in the path the to[..., addcall=...] is used; if that's not possible, call \DoAdvVoltages at the end of the tikzpicture, in every tikzpicture where at least one path used the addcall key; if that's not possible, call the \DoAdvVolteges at the end of every tikzpicture. The solution should be engine-independent (well, it should work in the engines supported by TikZ, basically LaTeX and ConTeXt). Option 3 is easy in LaTeX, I do not know if it's as easy in ConTeXt. Option 2 could be achievable in LaTeX: add a one-shot hook at env/tikzpicture/end the first time it's called, protected by an if, from the .code itself — I'm not sure if this is a use-case possible in the current hook code, I'll dig into it when I have time, but it would be an acceptable answer (Is \AddToHookNext what I'm looking for here?). \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[RPvoltages]{circuitikz} % just an example \ctikzset{voltage=raised, !v sym/.style={no v symbols}} \newcommand{\placesigns}[2]{% place the +- signs at a fixed distance \path (#1voltage.center) ++(-\ctikzgetdirection{#1}:0.5cm) node[]{$+$}; \path (#1voltage.center) ++(180-\ctikzgetdirection{#1}:0.5cm) node[]{$-$}; } % add a command queue to circuitikz \makeatletter \gdef\local@voltages{} \def\addcommand#1#2{%add to \commands the macro \#1{nodename}{#2} \begingroup \edef\@@name{\ctikzvalof{bipole/name}} \edef\@@temp{% \noexpand\pgfutil@g@addto@macro\noexpand\local@voltages{% \expandafter\noexpand\csname #1\endcsname {\@@name}{#2}% }% }% \@@temp \endgroup } \def\DoAdvVoltages{\local@voltages\relax\gdef\local@voltages{}\ctikz@hook@setfalse} \makeatother % This works, but just for LaTeX (or not?) % Moreover, I'd like to add this from the addcall keys, so that % I don't call it for *every* tikzpicture! % \AddToHook{env/tikzpicture/end}{\DoAdvVoltages} \ctikzset{addmyv/.style = {v={#1}, !v sym, addcall={#1}}} \ctikzset{addcall/.code ={\addcommand{placesigns}{#1}}} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw (3,0) -- ++(1,0) coordinate(Rbot) to[R=R, name=vR, addmyv={$u_R$}] ++(0,+3) -- ++(-1,0); \draw (Rbot) -- ++(2,0) coordinate(Cbot) to[C=C, name=vC, addmyv={$u_C$}] ++(0,+3) -- ++(-2,0); \draw(Cbot) to [L=L, name=vL, addmyv={$u_L$}] ++(2,0); \DoAdvVoltages \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} A partial solution (the option 2 above) could be something like this, that seems to work: \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[RPvoltages]{circuitikz} % just an example \ctikzset{voltage=raised, !v sym/.style={no v symbols}} \newcommand{\placesigns}[2]{% place the +- signs at a fixed distance \path (#1voltage.center) ++(-\ctikzgetdirection{#1}:0.5cm) node[]{$+$}; \path (#1voltage.center) ++(180-\ctikzgetdirection{#1}:0.5cm) node[]{$-$}; } % add a command queue to circuitikz \makeatletter \newif\ifctikz@hook@set\ctikz@hook@setfalse \gdef\local@voltages{} \def\addcommand#1#2{%add to \commands the macro \#1{nodename}{#2} \begingroup \edef\@@name{\ctikzvalof{bipole/name}} \edef\@@temp{% \noexpand\pgfutil@g@addto@macro\noexpand\local@voltages{% \expandafter\noexpand\csname #1\endcsname {\@@name}{#2}% }% }% \@@temp \endgroup } \def\DoAdvVoltages{\local@voltages\relax\gdef\local@voltages{}% \typeout{EXECUTE DoAdv} \global\ctikz@hook@setfalse } \def\ctikz@set@hook{% \ifctikz@hook@set \else \global\ctikz@hook@settrue % I have no idea if I can do this in context/plain... \ifpgfutil@format@is@latex \typeout{EXECUTE AddToHookNext} \AddToHookNext{env/tikzpicture/end}{\DoAdvVoltages}% \fi \fi } \ctikzset{addcall/.code ={\addcommand{placesigns}{#1}\ctikz@set@hook}} \makeatother % This works, but just for LaTeX (or not?) % \AddToHook{env/tikzpicture/end}{\DoAdvVoltages} \ctikzset{addmyv/.style = {v={#1}, !v sym, addcall={#1}}} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw (3,0) -- ++(1,0) coordinate(Rbot) to[R=R, name=vR, addmyv={$u_R$}] ++(0,+3) -- ++(-1,0); \draw (Rbot) -- ++(2,0) coordinate(Cbot) to[C=C, name=vC, addmyv={$u_C$}] ++(0,+3) -- ++(-2,0); \draw(Cbot) to [L=L, name=vL, addmyv={$u_L$}] ++(2,0); \end{tikzpicture} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw (3,0) -- ++(1,0) coordinate(Rbot) to[R=R, name=vR, addmyv={$u_R$}] ++(0,+3) -- ++(-1,0); \draw (Rbot) -- ++(2,0) coordinate(Cbot) to[C=C, name=vC, addmyv={$u_C$}] ++(0,+3) -- ++(-2,0); \draw(Cbot) to [L=L, name=vL, addmyv={$u_L$}] ++(2,0); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} But clearly, this is not valid (I think) for ConTeXt at all.

I have the following codes to typeset following: \documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]{standalone} \usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathreplacing} \ExplSyntaxOn \cs_new:Nn \__my_Aterm_tl:n { \tl_set:Nn \l_tmpa_tl { a \sb 1 } \int_step_inline:nnn {2} {#1} { \tl_put_right:Nn \l_tmpa_tl { + a \sb {##1} } } \tl_use:N \l_tmpa_tl } \NewDocumentCommand{\Aterm}{ m }{\__my_Aterm_tl:n{#1}} \ExplSyntaxOff \begin{document} \def\NN{5} \begin{tikzpicture} \foreach \i[evaluate=\i as \nexti using int(\i+1)] in {1,...,\NN}{ \draw (0,{-(\i-1)}) rectangle (\i,-\i); \ifnum\i<\NN\relax \draw[decorate,decoration={brace,amplitude=5pt}] (\i,{-(\i-1)}) -- node[midway,right=3pt] {$b_{\i}-b_{\nexti}$} (\i,-\i); \else \draw[decorate,decoration={brace,amplitude=5pt}] (\i,{-(\i-1)}) -- node[midway,right=3pt] {$b_{\i}$} (\i,-\i); \fi \draw[decorate,decoration={brace,mirror,amplitude=5pt}] (0,{-(\i-1)}) -- node[midway,below=3pt] { % $a_{\i}$ $\Aterm{\i}$ } (\i,{-(\i-1)}); } \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} It works! But the code looks not elegant, for the abrupt \ifnum and expl3-syntex(I have heard from that may cause unexpected result to mix tikz and expl3), is that possible to make good use of evaluate=<variable> as <macro> using <formula> or /remember=<variable> as <macro> (initially <value>)?

I’m trying to define a LaTeX command that creates a figure containing multiple subfigures from a comma-separated list of image names. I’d like a macro with this interface: \multipleIMG{<images per row>}{<comma-separated list of image files>}{<main label>}{<main caption>} Requirements: Use the full available width (\linewidth). No horizontal and vertical gaps between images. Each row should be centered as a whole (even the last row if it’s not full). All images must have the same width (based on <images per row>). Create sublabels automatically as <main label>_1, <main label>_2, … (1, 2, 3, …). I’m using subcaption. I don’t want visible subcaptions, only labels for referencing (\phantomcaption is fine). Example input: \multipleIMG{3}{location-1,location-2,location-3,location-4,location-5}{fig:first}{Five Figure} This should produce 3 images in the first row, then 2 centered images in the second row, all with equal widths, and labels: fig:first_1, fig:first_2, fig:first_3, fig:first_4, fig:first_5 So that I can reference both the main figure and a subfigure like: \ref{fig:first}, \ref{fig:first_1} Here is an MWE showing the layout I want (hard-coded manually for 5 images). I want to replace this manual code with \multipleIMG. \documentclass{report} \usepackage[demo]{graphicx} \usepackage{subcaption} \usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref} \begin{document} \begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \newlength{\imgw} \setlength{\imgw}{\dimexpr\linewidth/3\relax} \makebox[\linewidth][c]{% \begin{subfigure}{\imgw} \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{} \phantomcaption \label{fig:first_1} \end{subfigure}% \begin{subfigure}{\imgw} \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{} \phantomcaption \label{fig:first_2} \end{subfigure}% \begin{subfigure}{\imgw} \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{} \phantomcaption \label{fig:first_3} \end{subfigure}% } \vspace{-\baselineskip} \makebox[\linewidth][c]{% \begin{subfigure}{\imgw} \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{} \phantomcaption \label{fig:first_4} \end{subfigure}% \begin{subfigure}{\imgw} \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{} \phantomcaption \label{fig:first_5} \end{subfigure}% } \caption{Five Figure} \label{fig:first} \end{figure} \ref{fig:first}, \ref{fig:first_1} \end{document}

I have the following code: \documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]{standalone} \begin{document} \ExplSyntaxOn \keys_define:nn {mykey} { foo .tl_set:N = \l_tmpa_tl } \keys_set:nn {mykey} { foo = {O\quad K},%<- } \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[dotted] (0,0) -- (2,0); \node[inner~sep=0pt] at (1,0) {\l_tmpa_tl}; \end{tikzpicture} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[dotted] (0,0) -- (2,0); \node[fill=white,inner~sep=0pt] at (1,0) {\l_tmpa_tl}; \end{tikzpicture} \ExplSyntaxOff \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[dotted] (0,0) -- (2,0); \node[fill=white,inner sep=0pt] at (.7,0) {O}; \node[fill=white,inner sep=0pt] at (1.3,0) {K}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} For the sake of the template settings, the text O\quad K should be put as a token list, as a whole, but I need the third picture's result. Is that possible to just fill=white to just shade the "text area"? Edited: Since cfr commented for the original template case, I would provide more information. Claims: The original package is exam-zh package It depends on xeCJK, so xelatex is must I was not sure that whether it's CJK fonts settings works on every OS. See here. What I want, is to achieve something sealline style as below: It appeared in the leftmargin of exam paper: Now I have the following code: \documentclass{exam-zh} \usepackage{zhlipsum} % \ExplSyntaxOn % % Line 1487 in exam-zh.cls % % https://github.com/xkwxdyy/exam-zh/blob/main/exam-zh.cls#L1487-L1496 % \cs_set:Npn \__examzh_sealline_odd_text_around_line: % { % \node [ anchor = east ] % at ([xshift = -\g__examzh_sealline_odd_text_xshift_dim, yshift = \g__examzh_sealline_odd_text_yshift_dim]current~page~text~area.west) % { % \g__examzh_sealline_odd_text_format_tl % \__examzh_sealline_odd_spread_box:nn { \g__examzh_sealline_odd_text_width_dim } % { \g__examzh_sealline_odd_text_tl } % }; % } % \ExplSyntaxOff \examsetup{ sealline={ show=true, circle-show=false, line-type={loosely-dotted}, text={密封线},%<- the text here is put as `\g__examzh_sealline_odd_text_tl' text-format={\huge\bfseries}, line-thickness={2.5pt}, text-xshift={.375cm} } } \begin{document} \zhlipsum[name=zhufu] \end{document} That is the original case. Noted that 密封线, the l3keys sealline/text is put into \g__examzh_sealline_odd_text_tl ands \g__examzh_sealline_even_text_tl here(why I say as a whole). Which need to be processed by \__examzh_sealline_odd_spread_box:nn here. I want to change the present settings of exam-zh's setting code to the minimal extent.(Of course, I can type text={}, leave it empty, and follow \__examzh_sealline_odd_circle: here to draw multiple \node[fill=white] {密}s) But that change too much the package's setting. So, I simplified it to my origianl post😊.

Here is my attempt at a code (excuse my choice of naming the counters): \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{enumitem} \usepackage{lipsum,blindtext} \newcount\div \newcount\divs \newcount\somnum \newcount\yes \newcount\yess \newcount\numberofprimes \newcommand{\isthisprime}[1]{% %Decide if #1 is prime \div=2 \yes=0 \ifnum#1<2 \yes=1 \fi \loop \ifnum\div<#1 \ifnum#1=\numexpr(#1/\div)*\div\relax \yes=1 \fi \advance\div by 1 \repeat \numberofprimes=0 \somnum=2 \yess=0 \divs=2 %Checking every number less than or equal to #1 \ifnum\yes=0 \loop \ifnum\somnum<\numexpr#1+1\relax \loop%checking if somnum is prime \ifnum\divs<\somnum \ifnum\somnum=\numexpr(\somnum/\divs)*\divs\relax \yess=1 \fi \advance\divs by 1 \repeat \ifnum\yess=0 \advance\numberofprimes by 1 \fi \yess=0\divs=2\advance\somnum by 1 \repeat \fi \ifnum\yes=0 #1 is a prime with index~\the\numberofprimes. \else #1 is not a prime. \fi } \begin{document} \isthisprime{101}\newline \isthisprime{102} \end{document} The idea: the first part of the code decides whether or not <number> is a prime; if it is we set the counter \yes=1, otherwise it remains equal to 0. So if \yes=1 we check every number less than or equal to <number> to see if it is prime or not. At every occurrence of prime, we increase the counter \numberof primes. Hence \numberofprimes will determine the order of <number>, if it prime that is. The part where it decides whether or not the input is prime or not is fine. However, it cannot find its order. It just says that the order is 1 if the input is prime. It cannot see what is wrong with my code, so I would appreciate any advice! Thank you in advance.

i'm trying to do some geometric frieze with tikz. The last goal is to do a command to draw one of the 7 possible frieze (see wikipedia). But, first, i just do 1 frieze. Results: My code: \documentclass[tikz]{standalone} \begin{document} \newcommand{\footstep}[4]{ \begin{scope}[ xshift=#3cm, %for translation yshift=#4cm, %for translation xscale=#1, %for reflexion yscale=#2 %for reflexion ] \draw (1, 3) -- (1, 0); \draw (1, 0) -- (7, 0); \draw (6, 3) -- (7, 0); \draw (6, 3) -- (5, 0); \draw (5, 0) -- (4, 2); \draw (4, 2) -- (2, 0); \draw (2, 0) -- (1, 3); \end{scope} } \begin{tikzpicture}[rounded corners=1pt, very thick, scale=.75] \draw[help lines] (0,-1) grid (22,5); \footstep{1}{1}{0}{0} \footstep{1}{-1}{7}{3} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} but i have to find the parameters by myself. I'd like something automatic. Something like : xshift = "scope width" yshift = "scope height" Thanks

In this tikz MWE, why is the node placement not even close to pos=0.7 on a plotted curve? \documentclass[tikz,border=1cm]{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[ domain = 0:2, samples = 100, variable = \y ] plot (\y*\y,\y) node[pos = 0.7, above left] {\(x=y^2\)} ; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}

The mathtools package can automatically insert italics correction when using \(...\) for inline math mode. See this answer. However, I much prefer $...$ for inline math as I find it more readable and comfortable to type on my keyboard layout. I am currently using the following hack to keep using the $...$ syntax while preserving the italics correction. \catcode`\$=13% \def$#1${\(#1\)}% I haven't had issues with it in my current document, but I was wondering whether there are reasons this might be a bad idea. I would image that if this was harmless the mathtools package would use it to also patch the $...$ syntax for the mathic feature. So my question is: Is this safe and are there any caveats I might be overseeing?

In the 1572 algebra book L'Algebra by Rafael Bombelli, he uses his own notation for powers. I want to reproduce this notation in LaTeX. Below is a screenshot from the book that shows how he wrote to the sixth power, the fifth power, etc. In general, x to the power of n is written as n above a kind of circular arc. I have found a good example where it is made nicely in LaTeX. But I don't know how to reproduce it. Can anyone offer a solution to writing this power notation in LaTeX?

I have the following table. I am particularly interested in columns 1-2. There, I have three different values of \mathcal{T} for each value of \mathcal{J}.

My problem is that in a two-column book, when the marginnote is placed as the last word (or near the last word) of the left column line end, the note jumps to the right margin instead of being placed on the left margin.

The unicode-math package re-defines ellipsis to be the ellipsis character in whatever font you're using, instead of spaced dots. This looks bad in my opinion, and violates the guidance on ellipses in every style guide I own. A solution for \ldots is provided here: variations-in-ldots. But that solution does not fix \cdots, \vdots, or \ddots. I managed to find a solution for \cdots that works in this MWE, but seems to fail in other instances that I haven't figured out a reliable way to reproduce. And I can't figure out a solution for \vdots or \ddots at all. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{unicode-math} \AtBeginDocument{ % From https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/120627/variations-in-ldots \renewcommand\mathellipsis{\mathinner{\ldotp\ldotp\ldotp}} \renewcommand\cdots{\mathinner{\cdotp\cdotp\cdotp}} % sometimes works %\renewcommand\vdots{\mathinner{\vdotp\vdotp\vdotp}} % doesn't work %\renewcommand\ddots{\mathinner{\ddotp\ddotp\ddotp}} % doesn't work } \begin{document} $\dots, \ldots, \cdots, \vdots, \ddots$ \end{document} Found an example of where my solution for \cdots didn't work. It's when \dots is used instead of \cdots explicitly to centrally place dots: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{unicode-math} \AtBeginDocument{ \renewcommand\mathellipsis{\mathinner{\ldotp\ldotp\ldotp}} \renewcommand\cdots{\mathinner{\cdotp\cdotp\cdotp}} % sometimes works } \begin{document} $x+\dots+ y$ % Do not get spaced dots $x+\cdots+ y$ % Do get spaced dots \end{document}

I would have thought that if I declare \let\stdeqref\eqref, then the \stdeqref macro and the \eqref macro would be interchangeable. But here is an example where it fails! Moreover, this failure is (somehow) caused by the microtype package?! What is going on, and how to fix it? \documentclass{article} \usepackage{microtype} \usepackage{amsmath} \let\stdeqref\eqref \begin{document} \begin{equation}\label{a} A \end{equation} This is good spacing: \eqref{a}\allowbreak\eqref{a} This is bad spacing: \stdeqref{a}\allowbreak\stdeqref{a} But the bad spacing becomes good if we remove microtype! \end{document} The reason I'm asking is that I would like to redefine the \eqref macro in a way which uses the usual \eqref macro as a subcomponent, via the usual strategy I've seen time and time again on this site: \let\stdeqref\eqref \renewcommand\eqref[1]{Something fancy containing \stdeqref{#1} etc.} but that doesn't work anymore if \let isn't behaving as expected . . .

I'm typesetting my math document in Times New Roman using XeLaTeX and the fontspec package. I'm using mtpro2 as the math font, but I've noticed that certain letters, such as u, v and w, look quite different from their TNR italic counterparts (maybe because it's advertised as a Times-compatible font). Considering I'm already using the fontspec package, I tried ditching mtpro2 entirely and using other math fonts. I consulted the LaTeX Stack Exchange master list of maths fonts and tried XITS Math, TeX Gyre Termes Math and STIX Two Math. However, these fonts lack some features that I really like about mtpro2, such as round brackets (especially for matrices) and the letter z identical to the letter z in TNR. mtpro2 is here to stay. Next, I found the 'mathastext' package, which enables alphanumeric glyphs from the text font to be used in maths environments. For example, \usepackage[basic, italic]{mathastext} replaces all the alphanumeric characters in the maths font with the corresponding characters in the text font. However, this approach led me to another issue: the spacing between letters is awful, especially the subscripted ones. Since my only issue is with the letters u, v, and w, is there a way to just replace those three and use the rest of the mtpro2 glyphs? The code I'm using for my document is really bog standard: \documentclass{memoir} % Throw an error if this is not XeLaTeX. \usepackage{ifxetex} \RequireXeTeX \usepackage[lite]{mtpro2} \usepackage[no-math]{fontspec} \setmainfont{Times New Roman} \begin{document} \end{document} Any help would be appreciated.

Can somebody explain what is happening? Edit: Also in the first case autocompile doesn't work, saying that my code has errors that must be fixed first before that can run, but for the second case autocompile works. I also found out that autocompile works when I type: \begin{problem}[some text here] Fix an integer $n \ge 1$. Tom has a scientific calculator.

First of all "Merry Christmas" to everyone. I'm trying to get decimal output with luacas and don't get it. \documentclass[paper=a4,fontsize=12pt]{scrartcl} \usepackage{luacas} \begin{document} \directlua{ a=3 b=8 c=a/b tex.print('$',c,'$') } \end{document} The code above gives the expectet 0.375. Changing to \documentclass[paper=a4,fontsize=12pt]{scrartcl} \usepackage{luacas} \begin{document} \begin{CAS} a=3 b=8 c=Rational(a,b) \end{CAS} $\print{a}$ $\print{b}$ $\print{c}$ $\print{c.numerator}$ $\print{c.denominator}$ \end{document} gives 3, 8, the fraction 3 over 8, 3 and 8. In the manual there is the funtion :asnumber() given but \documentclass[paper=a4,fontsize=12pt]{scrartcl} \usepackage{luacas} \begin{document} \begin{CAS} a=3 b=8 c=Rational(a,b) d=c:asnumber() \end{CAS} $\print{a}$ $\print{b}$ $\print{c}$ $\print{c.numerator}$ $\print{c.denominator}$ $\print{d}$ \end{document} gives Lua-Error and the $\print{d}$ is ignored. I also tried something like d=Rational:asnumber(c) or used the funktions ZZ(), QQ() and RR() but without any success. Also $\print{c:asnumber()}$ fails. Trying to print the decimal with $\directlua{tex.print(string.format("\csstring\%.3f",c))}$ gives also a Lua error ('c' is a table but a number is expected by 'string.format()'). I'm not having any ideas how to solve it any more. Thank you for your help.

I am making the following table using LaTeX. One way to do it is to make a separate row for the "Top Header" header. However, this results in space below that header and the "sub headers": \documentclass{article} \usepackage{booktabs} \begin{document} \begin{table} \centering \begin{tabular}{ll rr} \toprule (1) & (2) & (3) & (4) \\ \midrule & & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Top Header} \\ \cmidrule(lr){3-4} Main & Main & \\ Header 1 & Header 2 & Sub 1 & Sub 2 \\ \midrule 0.01 & 0.25 & 0.05 & 0.00 \\ 0.02 & 0.25 & 0.11 & 0.03 \\ 0.05 & 0.25 & 0.16 & 0.09 \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{document} An alternative way is to include "Top Header" on the same line as the top line of the "Main Headers", but the use of \cmidrule creates awkward space for the two "Main Headers": \documentclass{article} \usepackage{booktabs} \begin{document} \begin{table} \centering \begin{tabular}{ll rr} \toprule (1) & (2) & (3) & (4) \\ \midrule Main & Main & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Top Header} \\ \cmidrule(lr){3-4} Header 1 & Header 2 & Sub 1 & Sub 2 \\ \midrule 0.01 & 0.25 & 0.05 & 0.00 \\ 0.02 & 0.25 & 0.11 & 0.03 \\ 0.05 & 0.25 & 0.16 & 0.09 \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{document} A third way, with no \cmidrule gets the vertical spacing right, but I do want a to use \cmidrule to get a line under "Top Header": \documentclass{article} \usepackage{booktabs} \begin{document} \begin{table} \centering \begin{tabular}{ll rr} \toprule (1) & (2) & (3) & (4) \\ \midrule Main & Main & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Top Header} \\ Header 1 & Header 2 & Sub 1 & Sub 2 \\ \midrule 0.01 & 0.25 & 0.05 & 0.00 \\ 0.02 & 0.25 & 0.11 & 0.03 \\ 0.05 & 0.25 & 0.16 & 0.09 \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{document} How can I get columns 1 and 2 to behave as in the first table, but columns 3 and 4 to behave as in the second table? In other words, I'd like the headers to take up two lines, as in the second table, and I'd like to use the \cmidrule command for columns 3 and 4, but I don't want the the extra space in between "Main" and "Header 1" and "Main" and "Header 2" that we see in the second table.
