Since sometime between August 2025 and March 2026, a \label inside equation* causes an unwanted horizontal shift of the displayed equation when advancing overlays, provided the equation ends with , or ;. (Text removed: ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶h̶i̶f̶t̶ ̶d̶o̶e̶s̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶o̶c̶c̶u̶r̶ ̶w̶h̶e̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶e̶q̶u̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶e̶n̶d̶s̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶̶.̶̶,̶ ̶n̶o̶r̶ ̶w̶h̶e̶n̶ ̶̶e̶q̶u̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶̶ ̶(̶n̶u̶m̶b̶e̶r̶e̶d̶)̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶u̶s̶e̶d̶ ̶i̶n̶s̶t̶e̶a̶d̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶̶e̶q̶u̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶*̶̶,̶ ̶n̶o̶r̶ ̶w̶h̶e̶n̶ ̶̶\̶l̶a̶b̶e̶l̶̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶a̶b̶s̶e̶n̶t̶.̶ ) Update: Further testing shows that the conditions are more general than initially described. The shift does not occur when \label is absent (this seems to be a necessary condition in all cases identified so far). However, with \label present, the bug also occurs with equation (numbered), and can be triggered by other elements affecting horizontal spacing in math mode, such as an operator defined via \DeclareMathOperator — regardless of the final punctuation character. The conditions listed below reflect only the cases identified so far and may not be exhaustive. The following MWE reproduces the problem: \documentclass{beamer} \begin{document} \begin{frame}{Test} \begin{equation*}\label{E:Test} A, \end{equation*} \pause Text. \end{frame} \end{document} Observed behavior: On overlay 1, the equation appears at one horizontal position. After advancing to overlay 2 (via \pause), the equation shifts slightly to the right. Expected behavior: The equation should remain at the same horizontal position across all overlays. Conditions that trigger the bug (all three must hold simultaneously): (Text removed: ̶e̶q̶u̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶*̶̶ ̶(̶u̶n̶n̶u̶m̶b̶e̶r̶e̶d̶)̶;̶ ) equation* (unnumbered) or equation (numbered); \label{...} inside it; (Text removed: t̶h̶e̶ ̶e̶q̶u̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶e̶n̶d̶s̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶̶,̶̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶̶;̶̶ ̶(̶m̶a̶t̶h̶e̶m̶a̶t̶i̶c̶a̶l̶ ̶p̶u̶n̶c̶t̶u̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶,̶ ̶i̶.̶e̶.̶ ̶̶\̶m̶a̶t̶h̶p̶u̶n̶c̶t̶̶)̶.̶ ) the equation ends with , or ; (mathematical punctuation, i.e. \mathpunct), or contains certain elements that affect horizontal spacing in math mode, such as an operator defined via \DeclareMathOperator. Conditions under which the bug does not occur: \label removed from the equation environment; (Text removed:̶e̶q̶u̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶̶ ̶(̶n̶u̶m̶b̶e̶r̶e̶d̶)̶ ̶u̶s̶e̶d̶ ̶i̶n̶s̶t̶e̶a̶d̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶̶e̶q̶u̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶*̶̶;̶ ) (Text removed: e̶q̶u̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶e̶n̶d̶s̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶̶.̶̶ ̶i̶n̶s̶t̶e̶a̶d̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶̶,̶̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶̶;̶̶.̶ ) equation ends with . instead of , or ; in some cases. Suspected cause: During the overlay retypsetting pass, the \label inside the equation environment triggers a write to the .aux file. This side effect appears to disturb the internal state of display math mode at the moment the final content is processed. Since , and ; are \mathpunct and insert spacing via \mskip, they are sensitive to the math mode state at that point; . is not a \mathpunct in math mode. Similarly, \DeclareMathOperator also involves spacing adjustments that appear sensitive to the same disturbance. Workaround: Remove \label from equation environments, or place it at the very end of the equation, just before \end{equation*} (credit: greg). Note that a \label inside equation* is semantically questionable in any case, since an unnumbered equation cannot be meaningfully referenced; however, keeping labels in slides that share code with a book may be a legitimate reason to have them. Environment: MiKTeX (updated) with a recent Beamer version. The problem was not present in August 2025 and began occurring by March 2026 or before, suggesting it was introduced by an update to Beamer or one of its dependencies in that interval.

I have some code here that calculates the functions \bdceval{\n}{\p}{\k}, row by row, for fixed \n and \k values ​​and values ​​p from a list \def\pList{0.1, 1/6, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5}. It works and is correct. But I'm wondering: Is this well-designed in terms of performance? I can only manage to implement \makePListRow{\n}{\k} with two commands. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{xintexpr} \def\pList{0.1, 1/6, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5} % Function: \xintNewFloatExpr{\bdceval}[3]{add(binomial(#1,v)*#2^v*(1-#2)^(#1-v), v=0..#3)} % Commands for List: \newcommand{\myRowMapper}[1]{\xintRound{4}{\bdceval{\n}{#1}{\k}}} \NewExpandableDocumentCommand{\makePListRow}{mm}{% \xintListWithSep{, }{% \xintApply{\myRowMapper}{\xintCSVtoList{\pList}}% }% } \begin{document} \foreach \n in {2,3,7}{% \foreach \k in {0,...,\n}{% \n, \k, \makePListRow{\n}{\k} \par }% } \end{document}

Here, for this example I'm always including the same page #1 and using a sample image to be able to compile it. When I look at my tags I see this: <Document> <Private> <Figure> <p> <Figure> <p> As I declared the artifact, the <Private> tag shows the appropriate alt-text. However, the <Figure> tags contain the path to the image as alt text. How can I change that? I do not want that path to be made public. And what are the <p> tags? Where did they come from?

For this example purpose, I'm adding the example-image.pdf as a page so the code can be compiled without external files. The <Artifact> I declare shows as a <Private> tag inside the <Sect> tag. But in this particular file I'm working, it would make more sense for it to be at the same level as the <Sect> tag instead of inside it. Is this possible? In other words, I want this: <Document> <p> <p> <Sect> <H1> <p> <Private> instead of this: <Document> <p> <p> <Sect> <H1> <p> <Private> Note: The code is compiled with LuaLaTeX using MiKTeX 26.2.

I wish to draw something like this: I can draw the two lines, though it is difficult to be precise. However I don't know what to do next as for the dashed line and the arrow line. The dashed lines are perpendicular to MK and JL, but the arrow line are parallel to those lines. And the difficult part is connecting the dashed line with the arrow line. I failed to draw the 90 degree sign, it looks too big and ugly. My attempt: \documentclass[tikz,border=3pt]{standalone} \usepackage{amsmath} \usetikzlibrary{calc,intersections,angles,quotes,arrows.meta} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[line cap=round,line join=round,>=Stealth] % ---------- circle ---------- \def\r{3.0} \coordinate (O) at (0,0); % points on the circle chosen by polar coordinates % (this is the important part) \coordinate (J) at (86:\r); \coordinate (M) at (142:\r); \coordinate (L) at (232:\r); \coordinate (K) at (332:\r); % circle \draw[black,line width=0.9pt] (O) circle (\r); % ---------- cyan lines ---------- \colorlet{mycyan}{cyan!70!blue} % main solid chords \path[name path=JL] (J) -- (L); \path[name path=MK] (M) -- (K); \draw[mycyan,line width=1.1pt] (J) -- (L); \draw[mycyan,line width=1.1pt] (M) -- (K); % intersection N \path[name intersections={of=JL and MK, by=N}]; % ---------- right-angle mark at N ---------- \coordinate (Nu) at ($(N)!0.42!(M)$); \coordinate (Nv) at ($(N)!0.42!(J)$); \coordinate (Nw) at ($(Nu)+(Nv)-(N)$); \draw[black,line width=0.8pt] (Nu) -- (Nw) -- (Nv); % ---------- center ---------- \fill (O) circle (2.2pt); % ---------- labels ---------- \node[font=\fontsize{21}{21}\selectfont] at ($(J)+(0.02,0.35)$) {$J$}; \node[font=\fontsize{21}{21}\selectfont] at ($(M)+(-0.45,0.08)$) {$M$}; \node[font=\fontsize{21}{21}\selectfont] at ($(L)+(-0.28,-0.18)$) {$L$}; \node[font=\fontsize{21}{21}\selectfont] at ($(K)+(0.5,-0.02)$) {$K$}; \node[font=\fontsize{21}{21}\selectfont] at ($(N)+(0.38,0.02)$) {$N$}; \node[font=\fontsize{25}{25}\selectfont] at ($(O)+(0,-0.55)$) {$O$}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Also, explain to me what the trick is, so that I can implement it in other cases.

PAC (or look at the tags in PDF-XChange Editor) I see that before each <p> or <L> tag there is a <Part> tag. The PAC complains that this tag is being misused.

Working on a timeline for a legal case in which all events occurred over five months. So far, I have twelve events and two time periods, and I still need to add more.

I'm a PhD student evaluating cloud LaTeX editors for writing my dissertation. I've used Overleaf for years but I'm noticing a new wave of editors claiming AI-powered features. I've looked at: Overleaf — familiar, but not reliable, and compilation is slow on large documents OpenAI Prism — new, AI-native, backed by OpenAI (I don't trust OpenAI) Papeeria — free tier, minimal AI Bibby AI (trybibby.com) — seems focused on bibliography error detection specifically with a good AI benchmark they published outperforming OpenAI and Overleaf. My question is: for someone writing a 200-page dissertation with 300+ citations, what are the meaningful technical differences between these editors, particularly: How does real-time bibliography validation differ across platforms? Do any of them integrate with arXiv directly? Is AI autocomplete in LaTeX actually useful or is it mostly marketing?

The ltx-talk class for slides defines its own basic lists, so that they can be used with overlays. I am interested in using custom lists, for example ones that pre-format dialogue. Doing this in the usual way with enumitem currently fails. A brief example follows. Is there a way to insulate custom lists from the class's baked-in list definitions, so that this will work, by putting them in something like a minipage environment? Failure case \DocumentMetadata{tagging = on, lang = en-us} \documentclass[aspect-ratio=4:3]{ltx-talk} \usepackage{enumitem} \newlist{dialist}{description}{1} \setlist[dialist]{font=\textsc, leftmargin=2cm, style=nextline} \begin{document} \begin{frame} \frametitle{Dialogue} \begin{dialist} \item[Socrates] And your opinion is right, as you can prove in this way: if some one asked you “Is there, Gorgias, a false and a true belief?” you would say, Yes, I imagine. \item[Gorgias] I should. \item[Socrates] But now, is there a false and a true knowledge? \end{dialist} \end{frame} \end{document} error: !

A follow up question to How to modify the chapter headings using \EditInstance. The accepted answer solved the basic layout, but how can I eliminate the vertical space between the top of the text area and the top rule of the chapter heading when using the ruled headformat?

I am using babel package with Spanish style (in amsart class), which puts acute accents in math symbols such as \lim, \max, \inf, etc. It is actually nice, because it keeps all the formatting in the same language and style. However, it doesn't put the accent in \varprojlim, which doesn't go with the general layout. Is it possible to make \varprojlim have the accent as everything else? MWE: \documentclass{amsart} \usepackage[spanish]{babel} \usepackage{amssymb,amsfonts,amsmath} \begin{document} \[ \lim \; \inf \; \max \] \[ \varprojlim \] \end{document} Result:

Consequently at driving of an line, the use for example scale=2 make line only longer and its thickens is not changes, see MWE below: \documentclass[margin=3mm, varwidth]{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta} \tikzset{LA/.style = {-Straight Barb, line width=1mm}} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[LA] (0,0) -- ++ (2,0); \end{tikzpicture} \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=2] \draw[LA] (0,0) -- ++ (2,0); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Does exist some trick by which will be scaled thickness of line too? The best way would be as option of the line style, which will has effect just on this particular line. My quick search on site so far didn't give me any suggestion ...

The following loop is an example of a loop that, starting from a certain sequence member, is rounded to 1.0000. How can I break the loop at the second term, which is 1.0000 (in this example, that's the 13th)? Note: I'm using TikZ and xint; both are possible options. \documentclass[margin=5pt, varwidth]{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{xintexpr} \begin{document} \foreach \x in {1,...,15}{%% \x: \xintround{4}{\xinteval{1-exp(-\x/1.2)}}\par }%% \end{document}

I'm creating a landscape booklet with top ring binding, and I want it to be read across both pages when opened. I've been trying to set up inner and outer margins, but the information I find mostly covers how to do this when the book is bound on the left edge. What I need is to have different top and bottom margins for odd and even pages, like: Odd pages: 25mm top margin, 10mm bottom margin Even pages: 10mm top margin, 25mm bottom margin I’ve tried using the memoir and book classes, along with geometry, but I’m open to other suggestions as well. Could someone explain the recommended setup for this kind of book format? Any help would be greatly appreciated! A (blurry, will update..) picture of the layout I am thinking of. Thanks!

I am giving a try at coffins, and I joined two coffins to typeset material side by side on a line. However, \TypesetCoffin does not put the resulting coffin at the left hand side of the page, but introduces a small gap, as evidenced by the boxes below. Why is that, and how do I tell it not to ? \documentclass{article} \usepackage{showframe,xcoffins} \fboxsep 0pt \begin{document} \noindent \NewCoffin\CoffinExG \NewCoffin\CoffinExD \SetVerticalCoffin\CoffinExG{.72\textwidth}{material} \SetVerticalCoffin\CoffinExD{.28\textwidth}{\hfill material} \JoinCoffins\CoffinExG[b,r]\CoffinExD[b,l] \fbox{\TypesetCoffin\CoffinExG} \end{document}

I draw an arrow with a label like this. \documentclass[dvipdfmx]{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[auto=left] \node[name=A] at (0,0) {$A$}; \node[name=B] at (1,0) {$B$}; \draw[->] (A) -- (B) node[pos=0.5]{$f$}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} I like this notation because the order is “a coordinate, a coordinate, and a label.” This is more readable than “a coordinate, a label, and a coordinate.” I want to bend the arrow while keeping this order. I tried the following: \documentclass[dvipdfmx]{article} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[auto=left] \node[name=A] at (0,0) {$A$}; \node[name=B] at (1,0) {$B$}; \draw[->] (A) to[bend left=30] (B) node[pos=0.5]{$f$}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} However, this does not work properly—the label appears at coordinate A. I know I can achieve this with a \newcommand, but is there another way? Thank you.

Why can't I use \newline? Even entering and giving it \vspace doesn't work. \documentclass[border=6pt]{standalone} \usepackage[table]{xcolor} \usepackage{array} \definecolor{headorange}{RGB}{255,127,0} \definecolor{creamlight}{RGB}{255, 242, 215} \definecolor{creamdark}{RGB}{255, 255, 143} \arrayrulecolor{white} \setlength{\arrayrulewidth}{1.6pt} \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.9} \setlength{\tabcolsep}{0pt} \newcolumntype{C}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}m{#1}} \newcolumntype{H}{>{\columncolor{headorange}\color{white}\centering\arraybackslash\bfseries\itshape}m{1.25cm}} \newcolumntype{L}{>{\columncolor{creamlight}\centering\arraybackslash}m{1.8cm}} \newcolumntype{D}{>{\columncolor{creamdark}\centering\arraybackslash}m{1.8cm}} \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{|H|L|D|L|D|L|D|} \hline $x$ & $-1$ & $-0.8$ & $-0.4$ & $0$ & $0.4$ & $1$ \\ \hline $y$ & & $1.4$ & & $-1$ & $-0.6$ & \\ \hline \end{tabular} \newline \vspace{4mm} \begin{tabular}{|H|L|D|L|D|L|} \hline $x$ & $1.2$ & $1.6$ & $2$ & $2.4$ & $2.8$ \\ \hline $y$ & & $2.6$ & & & \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{document} I want the second table on the right side is exactly under the first table and they are left aligned. Like this:

I have an MWE that when processed (lualatex) produces an error ! Argument of \__math_grab_dollar_delim:w has an extra }. which, as far as I know, is not true and impedes the processing of the file. When you comment the DocumentMetadata statement line, the file process fine and produces a PDF fine. \DocumentMetadata{pdfversion=1.7, pdfstandard=A-2b, lang=en-US} \documentclass{report} \usepackage{tikz-cd} % Enable modern LaTeX3 programming syntax \ExplSyntaxOn \NewDocumentCommand{\testinput}{ m } { \file_input:n { #1 } } \ExplSyntaxOff \begin{filecontents*}{diag.tex} \begin{tikzcd}[sep = .8 cm] S^2 \arrow[d, "\pi"] \arrow[r, "\pi"] & (P^2,d) \\ P^2 \arrow[ru, "{\overline{\pi}}"] \end{tikzcd} Since $P^2$ is compact... \end{filecontents*} \begin{document} \testinput{diag.tex} \end{document} I read the DocumentMetadata documentation and it mostly says that the command is a statement, and does not elaborate on the implications that it may have on the processing of the file. The numbers I choose for the example only implies that when you save a file as PDF/A-2b, you are creating a PDF 1.7 file that has been stripped of prohibited features (like JavaScript, encryption, and external references). How does one determine what allows the file to be processed and what not?

I would like to cite theorems in my manuscript by specifying the reference in the theorem title. I tried using the following code: \begin{theorem}[{\cite[Thm.~2.5]{reference_paper}}] Statement of the theorem \end{theorem} or \begin{theorem} \cite[Thm.~2.5]{reference_paper}. Statement of the theorem \end{theorem} These produce the first two results shown in the attached image, but I would prefer something similar to the third row. Being able to remove the space after '(' in the first example would also be fine. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance! This question is similar to this, but I do not want to specify the number manually and was looking for a more LaTeX-style way of doing it.

I'm working on a LaTeX document where I have multiple image files, some of which have a -converted version. For example, my files might look like this: a.png b.png b-converted.png c.png c-converted.png d.png I want to include the images in my document using a command like: \includegraphics{a.png} % includes a.png \includegraphics{b.png} % include b-converted.png \includegraphics{c.png} % include c-converted.png \includegraphics{d.png} % includes d.png That is, the logic should be: If basename-converted.ext exists, include that. Otherwise, include the original file: basename.ext. MWE \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \includegraphics{a.png} \includegraphics{b-converted.png} \end{document} EDIT: I should work with multiple multiple file extension, like png, jpg, pdf, svg ...

I was trying to copy this figure (from Elementary Classic Analysis Marsden Hoffman): And I don't know how. I've already seen various posts about a distorted circles where they drawed it randomly and I tried it but the result I get it's not quite like I want. I want like it's a sketch of a set I could have drawn (like the picture), but I get a circle "that has random noise". I know that making figures can be hard (at least for me) so if someone could just give me some indications I'd be really grateful.

is there a TeX-based solution or is external tooling required? Like many of you (I suppose), I maintain a relatively large LaTeX repository used to produce lecture slides and course material. The project has grown over several years and now contains several hundred .tex files twice as many graphics (.png, .pdf) nested directories shared figures reused across multiple documents Typical usage is simply \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \includegraphics{figures/payoff_diagram.png} \end{document} As the project evolves, files are sometimes moved or renamed. When this happens, some paths referenced by \includegraphics become invalid. Maintaining a clean path becomes a nightmare... In practice this leads to two types of issues graphics referenced in .tex files that no longer exist graphics present in the repository but not used anywhere Compiling documents eventually reveals missing files, but in a large repository this becomes slow and inconvenient. So my question is essentially about project-level integrity checks. Is there a way within the TeX ecosystem to automatically audit a repository and detect files referenced by \includegraphics that do not exist graphics present in the repository but never referenced For example Does LaTeX provide tooling to inspect file dependencies across a project Are there packages or TeX utilities designed for this Or is the typical solution to rely on external tooling such as scripts or CI workflows More broadly, with the recent development of automation tools and AI-assisted repository analysis, I am also wondering whether people have started using such approaches to maintain consistency in large LaTeX projects. I would be interested in knowing what workflows people use in practice for this type of problem.

Learning from Mico's answer, I have the following code to add \, between number and letter automaticlly via: s:gsub ( "(%d)(%a)" , "%1\\,%2" ) Here below is the code: \documentclass{article}% lualatex required \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb} \usepackage{luacode} \begin{luacode} function digit_letter_spacer ( s ) return s:gsub ( "(%d)(%a)" , "%1\\,%2" ) end \end{luacode} \newcommand\DigitLetterSpaceOn{\directlua{luatexbase.add_to_callback ( "process_input_buffer" , digit_letter_spacer , "DigitLetterSpace" )}} \newcommand\DigitLetterSpaceOff{\directlua{luatexbase.remove_from_callback ( "process_input_buffer" , "DigitLetterSpace" )}} \AtBeginDocument{\DigitLetterSpaceOn} \begin{document} 23x $23x$ 1a2b3c $E=mc^2$ \[ 23x + 45y - 6z = 114qwq\] \begin{align*} \sum_{i=3n}^{\infty} \frac{5x}{7y} - \sqrt{100w} &\cong 3\mathbb{R} \\ 3x^2+4y^2&=5z^2 \end{align*} While the greek letter is not detected: $5\lambda+6\kappa=7\eta$ \begin{gather} 5\alpha+6\beta=7\gamma \end{gather} \end{document} However, the greek letter is not reconginzed. Any approach to regard Greeks Letter as letters in luacode?

I am trying to use the Roboto font everywhere in my LaTeX document. I load it using the roboto package: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[sfdefault]{roboto} \begin{document} Some random text A \textrightarrow\ B Some random text \end{document} However, the arrow produced by \textrightarrow does not seem to come from the Roboto font. It looks different from the surrounding text. How can I make \textrightarrow use the Roboto so that it matches the rest of the document?

I am trying to recreate this picture from the College Board. I am able to recreate the image with the x-axis labeled in fourths (pi). However, the original shows each label being 1/8 (pi). Each time I try to use specific xtick and xlabel, the spacing is incorrect. Is there an easier way I can do this?
