Although I used his/her method and got \oiiint, the not big display mode spacing wasn't handled well. https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/404609/329597 \documentclass{article} \usepackage{esint} \newcommand{\oiiint}{\oiint \hspace{-13.5pt} \int} \begin{document} $A\oiiint B$\\ \[A \oiiint B\] \end{document}

I am trying to achieve something like this in TikZ: The black path should go straight up and the red one should go down bent to the right, both must look like a coil. I have tried to do this using bezier curves and arcs, but the coil decoration of the bent path looks very strange, it's pointy in some parts. What am I doing wrong? MWE: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[-latex, decorate, decoration = {coil, aspect = 1.2}, color = red] (0,2) arc (90:-90:1); \draw[-latex, decorate, decoration = {coil, aspect = 1.2}] (0,0) -- (0,2); \draw[-latex, decorate, decoration = {coil, aspect = 1.2}] (3,0) -- (3,2); \draw[-latex, decorate, decoration = {coil, aspect = 1.2}, color = red] (3,2) .. controls (4,2) and (4,0) ..

I followed the LaTeX question reference below to adapt it to the tikz big operators version, but it didn't display in tikz "⅌" symbol. How can I define a big plus operator that works like \bigcup? ⅌ apply in tikz text symbols? % Source - https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/394912 % Posted by GuM, modified by community.

I'm trying to migrate from listings to piton, but unfortunately, piton doesn't have native support for Lua.

Although you can define \mathsfit or \mathsfbfit using \DeclareMathAlphabet, it \mathsfit doesn't work within \bm or \boldsymbol.

I have noticed that after a recent TexLive update, the behaviour of the sansmath package has changed. The two example below illustrate: The instructions: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{sansmath} \begin{document} \sansmath This is normal text. \begin{tabular}{ll} One & Two \\ \end{tabular} and the rest of the document follows. \end{document} result in the contents of the tabular environment to be italized (as if it is in a math environment). This is new, unexpected behaviour. If the \sansmath is omitted, then the content of the tabular environment is not placed in italics: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{sansmath} \begin{document} This is normal text. \begin{tabular}{ll} One & Two \\ \end{tabular} and the rest of the document follows. \end{document} I will greatly appreciate any advice on how to revert to the behaviour of \sansmath to what is expected: it impacts only math environments.

Packages on CTAN are tagged according to their licence; this information is displayed on each package's page along with other basic metadata such as its name, version, maintainer, and topics. I know that I can browse or search for all packages assigned to a given topic using the topics index or using the extended search form. Is there any similarly easy way of finding all CTAN packages with a given licence? Here's what I've tried so far: I checked the master licence list, but if I click on one of the licences in the list, the page I'm taken to gives me only basic information about the licence and (in some cases) some statistics about the number of packages that use that licence. I checked the extended search form form. It doesn't have a dedicated field for the licence. If I do search for a licence name, then it returns only the individual licence pages described above, not the packages that use that licence. I checked the XML API and JSON API. They provide endpoints for listing all licences, and for listing all packages, but not for listing packages by licence. The entries returned by the "List of licenses" endpoints list only a unique ID, name, and free/non-free status for each licence, but not which packages use that licence. The entries returned by the "List of Packages" endpoints list only a unique ID, name, and brief description for that package, but not its licence. I could use the XML or JSON API to get a full list of packages, extract the unique IDs to construct the URL for each package's page on CTAN, download each of those pages, and then scrape the licence data. But there are currently almost 7000 packages, so scraping the site in this way will take a long time, and I'm not sure that the site operators would appreciate all that traffic. (My use case, in case anyone is wondering, is finding packages that are available on CTAN but that are not distributed with TeX Live due to licensing restrictions. I'm curious as to what sort of functionality I and other TeX Live users might be missing out on, and might decide to code freely licensed replacements for any seemingly useful non-free packages.)

A MWE is probably better than lengthy explanations: \documentclass[tikz,10pt]{standalone} \usetikzlibrary{positioning} % savedbox with a sketch \newsavebox{\sdbox} \sbox{\sdbox}{% \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.35] \node (rbox) [fill=red] at (1,0) {}; \node (bbox) [fill=blue] at (1,1) {}; \end{tikzpicture}% } \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.5,font=\small] % blocks \node (comp) {computer}; \node[right = 1cm of comp] (sb) {\usebox{\sdbox}}; % arrow \draw[->] (rbox) -- (comp); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Upon compilation, you'll notice that the arrow does not link the node (rbox) from its absolute position after the node (sb) is drawn, as it should go from the red rectangle to the computer box. Would it be possible to achieve that goal?

How do I directly input foreign scripts into LuaLaTeX equations? I'm using LuaLaTeX with the unicode-math package. I have text mode setup that uses fallback font for any glyphs not covered. I also want to do the same for math mode, but with different font choices. I'm currently unable to input a foreign script like Kanji and Thai without adding commands like \text{} around it, despite having fonts that support Kanji and Thai. I want to be able to input scripts like Kanji and Thai into equations without extra commands as long as I have the proper font for it. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{unicode-math} \directlua{ luaotfload.add_fallback ("textFallback", { "SimSun:mode=harf;", } ) } \setmainfont{Arial}[RawFeature={fallback=textFallback}] \setmathfont{Latin Modern Math} \begin{document} This is a sample text. この文章は日本語です。 $∀天∈ℝ, ∀ค∈ℝ, 天+ค∈ℝ$ \end{document} Edit: Added clarification and included the Thai script.

I'm a physics teacher and I'd like to share here my way to write "dynamical" exercises. After posting a couple of questions more or less related, I've read comments implying that my way of doing could be improved. When I say "dynamical" I mean that the variables of my problem (\mass, \speed, ...) are coded in the questions. I don't wanna hard-code for the following reasons: If I write everything with, say, m=3kg, and then I wanna change to m=2kg, I don't wanna rewrite everything. I can reuse the questions very fast with different values, e.g. for exams or for the students to practise. Below a MWE of a "typical" problem. Please, do not focus on the Physics, but on the LaTeX ideas, mainly: Could I improve the way I store variables and compute other quantities? For the units, which command should I use: mathrm; text ; textup; ... ? Anything else? I want to make clear that, even if in this example I use basic maths (mainly the 4 operations), I typically need all the usual fonctions (powers, log, sqrt, exp, trigo), so any solution that you suggest should handle all these functions. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{xfp} % provides \fpeval \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \def\mass{3} \def\speed{10} \def\distance{1} \edef\Ekin{\fpeval{0.5*\mass*\speed^2}} \edef\force{\fpeval{0.5*\mass*\speed^2/\distance}} A mass $m=\mass\, \mathrm{kg}$ starts moving from rest.

I found a section formatting style on TeX Stack Exchange that I really like. The only issue is that it applies the same formatting to sections, subsections, and subsubsections, whereas I would like a clearer hierarchy with sections having boxed number + colored underline; subsections having colored number + underline; subsubsections having colored number and text (no underline). My current implementation is below. It mostly works, but for some reason, there is a gap in the underline between the section number box and the title. I am using titlesec and ulem for the underlining. \documentclass{article} % === Required packages === \RequirePackage[explicit]{titlesec} \RequirePackage{soul} \RequirePackage{xcolor} \definecolor{titlepagecolor}{rgb}{.13, .36, .38} % === Underline helper === \newbox\TitleUnderlineTestBox \newcommand*\TitleUnderline[1]{% \bgroup \setbox\TitleUnderlineTestBox\hbox{\colorbox{titlepagecolor}\strut}% \setul{\dimexpr\dp\TitleUnderlineTestBox-.3ex\relax}{.3ex}% {\color{titlepagecolor}\ul{\mbox{#1}}}% \egroup } % === (sub)Section numbers === \newcommand*\SectionNumberBox[1]{% \colorbox{titlepagecolor}{% \makebox[2.5em][c]{% \color{white}\strut\csname the#1\endcsname }% }% \hspace{0.5em}% } \newcommand*\SubsectionNumberColored{% {\color{titlepagecolor}\thesubsection}% } % === Section === \titleformat{\section} {\Large\bfseries\sffamily\color{titlepagecolor}} {\SectionNumberBox{section}} {0pt} {\TitleUnderline{#1}} % === Subsection === \titleformat{\subsection} {\large\bfseries\sffamily} {} {0pt} {% \TitleUnderline{% \SubsectionNumberColored\hspace{0.8em}#1% }% } % === Subsubsection === \titleformat{\subsubsection} {\normalsize\bfseries\sffamily} {} {0pt} {\textcolor{titlepagecolor}{\thesubsubsection\hspace{0.8em}#1}} \begin{document} \section{Section} \subsection{Subsection} \subsubsection{Subsubsection} \end{document}

I want to change the arrow style of NPN when I use circuiTikz. I read the manual of CircuiTikz. All I found is that: I can only change the arrow position in 4.15.5.2 \ctikzset{transistors/arrow pos=end} It do change the position of arrow. Then, I tried to change the arrow style. I tried the following ways: \draw (7, 0) node[npn, scale=2.0, flow arrow/.style={->, >=Stealth}] (T) {}; \ctikzset{bipoles/npn/arrow/.style={>=Stealth}} None works! Could you kindly give me a solution? Thanks!

With TeX Live 2024 cleveref can compress cross-references including subequations parent numbers, like so: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{cleveref} \begin{document} \begin{subequations}\label{eqn:one} \begin{align} a\label{eqn:onea}\\ b\label{eqn:oneb} \end{align} \end{subequations} \begin{align} c\label{eqn:two}\\ d\label{eqn:three} \end{align} \cref{eqn:one,eqn:two,eqn:three} \end{document} The \cref command gives as desired eqs. (1) to (3) However, with TeX Live 2025 and 2026, the compression does not occur and I get eqs. (1), (2) and (3) Is there a way to obtain the compressed output with TeX Live 2025 and 2026, without explicitly requiring a range (e.g., with \crefrange)? (This question is similar to this one, but the answer seems to indicate that I shouldn't get the compressed output with TeX Live 2024, which I do.)

Consider this MWE \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{autobreak} \begin{document} \begin{align*} \begin{autobreak} A= (x + a + b +c+d+e+f+g) +y +z +(x + a + b +c+d+e+f+g) +e +d \end{autobreak} \end{align*} \end{document} Compile with lualatex gives I do not know how to make the output something like this (*), i.e. shift second and the rest of the lines more to the left. Using \MoveEqLeft from mathtools made it worst \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{autobreak} \usepackage{mathtools} %\MoveEqLeft \begin{document} \begin{align*} \MoveEqLeft \begin{autobreak} A= (x + a + b +c+d+e+f+g) +y +z +(x + a + b +c+d+e+f+g) +e +d \end{autobreak} \end{align*} \end{document} Without modifying the lines themselves inside the autobreak manually by rewriting them, is it possible to obtain the desired output shown above in (*) by adding something in preamble or some other option for autobreak? Lualatex, TL 2026

A minimal working sample is as follows. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref} %\makeatletter %\def\tagform@#1{\maketag@@@{(\ignorespaces#1\unskip\@@italiccorr)}} %\DeclareRobustCommand{\eqref}[1]{\textup{\tagform@{\ref{#1}}}} %\makeatother \begin{document} \begin{equation}\label{eq} 1+2=3 \end{equation} TEXT \eqref{eq} TEXT \end{document} As you see, when using \eqref on the equation number, it produce only colorful equation number but black parenthesis, and also it produce a hyperlink only on equation number but including no parenthesis. Then how to make the parenthesis around equation number be colorful and hyperlinked too when using \eqref? I hope, the color could change when I reset linkcolor in hyperref. is it possible to redefine some setting to make the equation number be around with parenthesis when using \ref? In this case I think the parenthesis must be colorful and hyperlinked too.

The following MWE compile correctly, but if luacolor is uncommented the triangle is black instead of red. % !TEX TS-program = lualatex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{memoize} %\usepackage{luacolor} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \fill[red] (0,0)--(1,1)--(2,0)--cycle; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Is there a workaround? Or is this a bug in memoize and/or luacolor? (luacoloris needed for kerning reasons, that do not show in the above MWE.)

I'm trying to modify the theorem environment in ltx-talk so that it visually resembles the theorem environment in beamer. I was able to do so using talkthemetcolorbox. However, my attempt breaks the uncover overlay specification in a way that I don't quite understand. (MWE example below) \DocumentMetadata{tagging = on} \documentclass[aspect-ratio=4:3]{ltx-talk} \usepackage{talkthemetcolorbox} %Create a custom tcolorbox style for theorems \newtcolorbox{mythmbox}[1]{ title=#1, boxrule=0pt, enhanced, } \newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem} \RenewDocumentEnvironment{theorem}{D<>{all} +m}{ \begin{uncoverenv}<#1> \begin{mythmbox}{Theorem (#2)} }{ \end{mythmbox} \end{uncoverenv} } \begin{document} \begin{frame} Text \pause \begin{theorem}<3->{Pythagoras} The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides: \[ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \] \end{theorem} Text \end{frame} \end{document} The code above changes the theorem environment visually as I desire, but it doesn't have the intended uncover behavior. (e.g. I see the theorem on all three slides). However, the code does have the right visual theorem environment and respects the overlay if I replace uncoverenv with onlyenv. (e.g. I see the theorem only on slide 3, but the spacing on slide 2 is not what I desire). It also has the right uncover behavior, but the wrong visual theorem environment if I replace D<>{all} +m with d<>{all} +m. (e.g. I see the theorem only on slide 3 , and the spacing on slide 2 is right, but there is no tcolorbox).

I'm trying to learn how to set up tagging for a document with a custom structure. For example, consider a document containing a quotation from the Bible. This has built in structure with things like chapters, verses, (potentially headings), different layouts, and maybe a reference at the end. At a minimum, I need to use the new block code to set up the blocks. But I'm guessing I also need to tag other elements like chapters and verses. But there's still minimal examples out there of how to do all this. If I want to to support tagging in my scripture package, I need to make good design decisions up front. And I don't really know what I'm doing. Here's a MWE example showing a basic structure for a quote from the Bible along with my best guesses relating to tagging.

For my use case I think it makes sense to have headings and paragraphs as the main structural elements rather than chapters and verses since modern Bibles can place chapter breaks within paragraphs and verses can split across paragraphs. The below example does validate with VeraPDF and seems to give sane output at ngpdf.com But from Ulrike's answer below it seems like there's not a correct answer to this question at the moment. %!

What I want to replicate is something as below: My very first (failed) attempt is as below: \documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]{standalone} \definecolor{myyellow}{RGB}{224,239,158} \definecolor{myteal}{RGB}{47,89,85} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[ cover/.style={line width=3pt,myyellow,fill=myteal}, myrect/.pic={\draw[cover] (0,0) rectangle (3,3) --cycle;} ] \foreach \i in {0,45,...,315} {\pic[rotate=\i] {myrect};} % \foreach \i in {0,10,...,350} {\pic[rotate=\i] {myrect};} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} The last layer's order should be at the behind of the first one, which is not easy to be handle within the forloop \pic. Here below is my workaround: \documentclass[tikz,border=5pt]{standalone} \definecolor{myyellow}{RGB}{224,239,158} \definecolor{myteal}{RGB}{47,89,85} \begin{document} \tikzset{cover/.style={line width=3pt,myyellow,fill=myteal},myrect/.pic={\draw[cover] (0,0) |- (3,3) --++(0,-\fpeval{3*(2-sqrt(2))}) --(45:3)--cycle;}} \begin{tikzpicture} \pic{myrect}; \end{tikzpicture} \begin{tikzpicture} \foreach \i in {0,45,...,315} {\pic[rotate=\i] {myrect};} % \foreach \i in {0,10,...,350} {\pic[rotate=\i] {myrect};} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} However, if I want to extend the angle step: \foreach \i in {0,10,...,350} {\pic[rotate=\i] {myrect};} that is not quite easy to get the code: \draw[cover] (0,0) |- (3,3) --++(0,-\fpeval{3*(2-sqrt(2))}) --(45:3)--cycle; exactly, the ++(0,-\fpeval{3*(2-sqrt(2))}) here. Any suggestions to solve the layer order issues?
