Re: Problem starting Miktex with BAT file

Hi Gerry,

were you able to solve it? If yes, what was the cause?

If not, perhaps provide some more information. Like the error messages, or a .log file, as attachment here. Try running the commands manually in a cmd window to see any errors, and let us know.

Re: BAT file does has stopped working

This looks exactly like the topic here, so I close it and it can continue there. I'll update in the other thread.

Re: cmd acronym error when compiling with pdfLatex

Sorry to see there's no answer yet. Perhaps that's because no code is here that can be tested.

Were you able to fix it? If yes, what was the reason? If not, perhaps post code here, that brings the error message.

Thanks!

Re: IMage captions

Hi Sheena,

welcome to the forum!

That is defined by your document class, or your preamble settings. If you show us the preamble, we may say why, and how to change it.

Regarding the second question, you could use this:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\figurename}{Photo}

Re: How to Format a Multi-Part Practice Exam with Section Headers in LaTeX?

This looks like spam and an online search confirmed, so it seems no answer is needed. I keep that though as it looks like a valid question, in case anybody is interested in commenting.

Re: [Beamer] adding line box

Hi Roberto,

were you able to solve it?

Quick idea: use the tikzmark package, set markers in the title, use them as anchors and draw the lines as an overlay.

Re: Trouble converting from Overleaf to TeXStudio

Hi Dlongddsma,

sorry to see there's no answer yet. I guess that's because the code is incomplete and cannot be tested.

Were you able to solve it? If not perhaps post a compilable example code, with the My CollectionForDisProposal.bib too. Either copied in here as source code formatted (using the ...

Re: filename and ifthen

An update: this was resolved on TeXwelt.de .

The \ifdefstring command from the etoolbox package is more robust and handles macro expansion better. It works if your file is named TestFile.tex (the online compiler uses an auto-generated filename).

Re: Getting certain characters when not in math mode [ ] for example

Hi,

welcome to the forum!

There was no answer yet, perhaps because it wasn't clear what the problem is, no error message and unclear what the output is with your document. This simply works without problem:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Normal text: [parts]
\end{document}

Re: citation in maths mode

The correct way is to write it as text:

Code: Select all

\begin{equation*}
      55+2\ \text{\cite{dopey}}
\end{equation*}
