In this example I'm using the same table, but in reality the number of rows may vary. The tables used in \input are produced automatically and as read-only, so the longtable cannot be replaced by another environment, nor the 'preamble' edited (the code producing the tables may be, in any case). The point is that I need both table and subsection to pass to the next page if they don't fit in the current page, that's why I used \vspace*{\fill}. Is there another way of doing this? Does \vspace interfere with longtable? As I said, the code producing the tables may be edited (not my code, BTW), so a solution involving tinkering with the table code is possible, except for the constraint of using longtable, which is a must. Apart from a solution (i.e. removing those lines) I'd like to understand why this happens. I know longtable is supposed to break tables along pages, but I don't understand why the 'preamble' produces the above pictures. Thanks!

Lualatex, TeXlive 2026, Linux. Compiling via command line. Technical question. MWE: \documentclass{article} %% Compile with lualatex. \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont{LibertinusSerif} %% Or any OpenType font. \begin{document} Hello, World. \end{document} Even though \fontspec requires packages xparse and luaotfload, I do not see those files included in either the Terminal output, or the log file. But obviously they are used. The same with fontenc if using only OpenType with UTF-8. In fact, I can comment-out the associated \RequirePackage lines in the various fontspec files, and all is good. I recall reading that xparse has been in the l3kernel (or related files) for several years. I can see why fontenc is not needed for the situation here. My question: Is it the case that luaotfload is now in the l3kernel when lualatex is the compiler? How I discovered this: Using my own custom document class, I experimented (cargo cult) with code that invoked luaotfload, but forget to \RequirePackage{luaotfload}. Nevertheless, my code worked, just as if I had loaded the package.

Hello, I want to understand the spacing after a minipage. As you can see in the image, after a minipage, it doesn't behave like two normal paragraphs. Please help me understand What does that space (marked '??' in the image) consist of? Is there anyway to make it automatically behave like two normal paragraphs or I can only fix it manually by adding \vspace? Thank you!

I would like to reproduce the angle symbol in the picture below, but I don't know how. I found this similar question (How can I do this angle symbol?), but the symbol asked there is somewhat different than the one I want (notice that the arc in that question is way bigger than the one in my picture). The answer provided there produces that symbol, but I don't see a way to modify that code so that it would produce something closer to my symbol.

I am using the xskak and chessboard packages in MikTeX to typeset chess games. I have encountered an issue with pawn promotion with the ordinary command d1=Q given in xskak document. Then, after some debeates with claude.ai, I used d8=\figsymbol{Q} and interestingly, in text it worked well, as follows: \mainline{21. d5 $1}. some text... \mainline{21... Nd8 22. d6 Rc5 23. d7 Re7 24. Qf4 Bg7 25. Qb8 $1 Qxh6 26. Qxd8+ $1 Bf8 27. Re3} (27. \qq$\times$f8+ some text). \mainline{27... Bc6 28. Qxf8+ Qxf8 29. d8=\figsymbol{Q}}. In another promotion in the same document, I again used d1=\figsymbol{Q} (this time for black), but it returned me following errors (with some other errors, but I thought these are essential ones): Missing \endcsname inserted. Improper alphabetic constant. Here is the related part: \mainline{24... cxd4 25. Rxc8 Bxc8 $1 26. Re1 d3 27. Qd1} (\variation[invar]{27. Qxe5 Qxe5 28. Rxe5 d2}, some text). \mainline[outvar]{27... Bg4 28. Qa1 d2 29. Rxe5 d1=\figsymbol{Q} 30. Re8+ Rxe8 31. Qxf6 Be2 32. Ng3 Bg7}, some text. Then I tried the same with the famous generic position in xskak doc for white and black, and my "solution" worked for both. I have no any idea about what's going on. Moreover, why cannot I see promoted figures on the board? I read the 10-year-old post here, but I could not solve my issue. What is the clearest method to promote a pawn and to see it on the board? In that respect xskak file is too limited.

In my document, tabularray is my main table engine, but I also have a few macros that use classic tabular with \arrayrulecolor (from colortbl) for colored rules.

I am using TeXworks to compile a file that is a mixture of Gregorian chant and regular music scores. In order to use the GregorioTeX package, I have to use a modified LuaLaTeX processing tool with the following arguments: --shell-escape $synctexoption $fullname The Gregorian chant works just fine, but my issue occurs when I try to use MusixTeX to include a metered song. The music does not wrap properly, and it looks clunky. Reading through the MusixTeX documentation file here, it appears that I need to use musixflx to fix this issue. However, I have no idea how to do that. I think I need to include it somehow in the processing tool's arguments, but I'm unsure. Is there a way to use musixflx while also running the necessary commands for GregorioTeX? Also, do I need to download anything to use musixflx, or is it part of the MusixTeX package?

Recently, I came across a multiplication table in Visual Group Theory (Fig. 4.6). I tried to reproduce it, including asking AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude), but without success. It seems that AI struggles to handle the subtle blanks in this table. I believe TikZ could produce something similar, but the result would feel unnatural. Is it possible to construct this in the form of a table? The closest result I've achieved so far is as follows. It uses the package nicematrix . \documentclass{article} \usepackage{nicematrix} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{NiceTabular}{c*{4}{c}}[ hvlines, corners = NW, ] & $N$ & $R$ & $B$ & $RB$ \\ $N$ & $N$ & $R$ & $B$ & $RB$ \\ $R$ & $R$ & $N$ & $RB$ & $B$ \\ $B$ & $B$ & $RB$ & $N$ & $R$ \\ $RB$ & $RB$ & $B$ & $R$ & $N$ \\ \end{NiceTabular} \end{document} The book also contains more intricate tables of this kind(same elements have a same color), and I'm curious how those might be reproduced as well.

I am currently working on a document that uses both Greek and English. For these two languages, I would like to use two different fonts, namely EB Garamond and GFS Neohellenic. I would also like to use old style numbers. For some reason, I am not able to get both options working. Here's an example of what I mean: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont[Numbers=OldStyle,Language=English]{EBGaramond-Regular} \setmainfont[Script=Greek]{GFSNeohellenic-Regular} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \lipsum[1] \begin{quote} Ἥκω Διὸϲ παῖϲ τήνδε Θηβαίαν χθόνα‎\\ Διόνυϲοϲ‎, ὃν τίκτει ποθ‎' ἡ Κάδμου κόρη‎\\ Ϲεμέλη λοχευθεῖϲ‎' ἀϲτραπηφόρωι πυρί‎·\\ μορφὴν δ‎' ἀμείψαϲ ἐκ θεοῦ βροτηϲίαν‎\\ πάρειμι Δίρκηϲ νάμαθ‎' Ἱϲμηνοῦ θ‎' ὕδωρ‎.\\ (Eur. \textit{Bacch.} 1-5)\end{quote} \end{document} This gives the following output: Then, when I flip the two font options around, this happens: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont[Script=Greek]{GFSNeohellenic-Regular} \setmainfont[Numbers=OldStyle,Language=English]{EBGaramond-Regular} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \lipsum[1] \begin{quote} Ἥκω Διὸϲ παῖϲ τήνδε Θηβαίαν χθόνα‎\\ Διόνυϲοϲ‎, ὃν τίκτει ποθ‎' ἡ Κάδμου κόρη‎\\ Ϲεμέλη λοχευθεῖϲ‎' ἀϲτραπηφόρωι πυρί‎·\\ μορφὴν δ‎' ἀμείψαϲ ἐκ θεοῦ βροτηϲίαν‎\\ πάρειμι Δίρκηϲ νάμαθ‎' Ἱϲμηνοῦ θ‎' ὕδωρ‎.\\ (Eur. \textit{Bacch.} 1-5)\end{quote} \end{document} When I try to use a different font, however, a different problem occurs: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont[Numbers=OldStyle,Language=English]{EBGaramond-Regular} \setmainfont[Script=Greek]{New Athena Unicode} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \lipsum[1] \begin{quote} Ἥκω Διὸϲ παῖϲ τήνδε Θηβαίαν χθόνα‎\\ Διόνυϲοϲ‎, ὃν τίκτει ποθ‎' ἡ Κάδμου κόρη‎\\ Ϲεμέλη λοχευθεῖϲ‎' ἀϲτραπηφόρωι πυρί‎·\\ μορφὴν δ‎' ἀμείψαϲ ἐκ θεοῦ βροτηϲίαν‎\\ πάρειμι Δίρκηϲ νάμαθ‎' Ἱϲμηνοῦ θ‎' ὕδωρ‎.\\ (Eur. \textit{Bacch.} 1-5)\end{quote} \end{document} What happens in the last picture is almost what I would like to happen, except for the fact that the numbers are not in old style and that the Latin font is not EB Garamond... Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have tried to manually do this without complete success. I am using here the GS1 package and am using \EANBarcode. (I did not have so much trouble doing this with the pst-barcode package, though I did have other difficulties to contend with.) QUESTION: How may I, if possible, automatically specify that the ISBN and barcode be placed in the lower right-hand corner location from the onset? If this is not possible, perhaps someone could advise an efficient way to do it manually. Before posting this question, I was able to make vertical shifts; however, I was no able to do so horizontally where the entire ISBN and barcode picture moved in unison. I compile with xelatex. Thank you.

First of all, how do we name a boolean variable? I tried \l_myvar_bool by similarity with what i found in an online tutorial. Why do we need \l_? For toggling the variable value i used \bool_set_inverse:N. I think here it's fine. I might have done it right. For printing I used \cs_meaning:N. It prints \char", don't know why. I don't want it. I need a better command. So I'd like to improve this piece of code. \documentclass[a4paper]{article} \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \ExplSyntaxOn \bool_new:N \l_myvar_bool \NewDocumentCommand{\togglebool}{ }{ \bool_set_inverse:N \l_myvar_bool \cs_meaning:N \l_myvar_bool } \ExplSyntaxOff \begin{document} \togglebool \togglebool \togglebool \end{document}

Why do I want to create a new mapping for unicode-math? I noticed that Unicode has sans-serif arrow keys in U+1F850 - U+1F859 range, but unicode-math and \symsf seem to only superficially include them. Also, I noticed that the NewCMMath font has additional sans-serif non-bold Greek characters, but it's not being recognized. Is it possible to create a new mapping in \symsf? \documentclass{article} \usepackage{unicode-math} \setmathfont{NewCMMath-Book.otf} \begin{document} Expected glyphs: $\symbol{"E002}\symbol{"E003}\symbol{"E007}\symbol{"E018}\symbol{"E019}\symbol{"E01A}\symbol{"1F850}\symbol{"1F851}\symbol{"1F852}\symbol{"1F853}\symbol{"E043}\symbol{"E044}\symbol{"E048}\symbol{"E059}\symbol{"E05A}\symbol{"E05B}$\\ Actual glyphs: $\symsf{\Gamma\Delta\Theta\alpha\beta\gamma\leftarrow\uparrow\rightarrow\downarrow}\symsfit{\Gamma\Delta\Theta\alpha\beta\gamma}$ \end{document}

I am a beginner at using LATEX. I have a question about increasing/decreasing the radius/curve/bulge of the voltage arrow. I am creating a very simple RLC series circuit along with a DC voltage source. I have attached my code below: \begin{circuitikz} \draw (0,0) to [american voltage source, invert, l=$V_s$] (0,6) to [R, l=$R_1$] ++(2.5,0) to [L, l_=$L$] ++(2.5,0) to [C, l=$C$, i=$i_C$, v^<=$v_C$] ++ (0,-6) to [short] ++(-5,0); \draw (2.5,6) to [R, l=$R_2$, *-*] ++(0,-6); \draw (0,0) node[ground, label=west:G] (GND) {}; \end{circuitikz} The output of this code is: As you can see, the text C and the arrow of v_c are sort of overlapping each other. I can easily overcome this issue by bringing the label C to the left or by bringing the voltage arrow to the left. However, I would like to know how I can manipulate the curvature of the arrow itself. I went through the CircuiTikZ User Manual, and questions such as this, this, this, and this but I was unable to solve the issue. I look forward to the opinion of the advanced LATEX users.

I am required to break the links within url{} to my references only after / or //, not after any other symbol that also might occur in a link. As can be seen in this post, this was achieved by adding \def\UrlBigBreaks{\do\/} to my code. Fixing this issue made another problem apparent though, as there would be no line break within certain links but right before them, leaving most of the line blank. How can this problem be resolved? By given guidelines, the list of references is to be formatted left-aligned without hyphenation, yet, links can include a line break after said symbols, thus replacing \raggedright globally by \RaggedRight of \usepackage{ragged2e} unfortunately isn't an option. Setting it locally by wrapping \url{} with \RaggedRight like {\RaggedRight\url{}} seems to make no difference. Potential alternative phrasing for title question: How can I locally allow hyphenation for certain passages in a text that globally doesn't allow hyphenation?
