Re: Announcing TyX - A LyX-like experience rewritten for Typst and the modern era

Hi Noam,

I see that Typst is like combining easier syntax (markdown-like) with a LaTeX-like quality of output with a smaller codebase, and so easier to install and web-friendly. Putting it into the backend omits the syntax/learning benefits while it keeps some limitations compared to full LaTeX ...

Re: Announcing TyX - A LyX-like experience rewritten for Typst and the modern era

Hi Noam,

welcome to the forum!

Most of our users work with LaTeX, some with LyX, and we are happy to support LyX users as well, especially when it involves ERT.

TyX sounds interesting. My first understanding is, that it may be a front-end/editor and the backend shall be Typst. When the backend is ...

Re: Help: Creating Pascal-esque triangle (different structure and numbers) with TikZ for academic paper

Hi,

welcome to the forum!

I'm glad you got these books. I wrote them, and I'm happy when I hear that people read the books. I hope you liked them! Would you please be so kind to post a review for each on Amazon? (even if you got them in another bookstore). Reviews help me find readers and convince ...

Re: customize beamer miniframes bullets spacing

Hi,

you can patch the \slideentry command, after loading the miniframes theme:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\slideentry}{\ifbeamer@compress}%
  {\ifbeamer@compress\ifnum#2>1\ifnum#3=1\advance\beamer@xpos by 1\relax\fi\fi}{}{}
\makeatother

Re: Emergency stop error in running preamble

No problem, that's why we have a forum for LaTeX users to talk. :-)

And by the way, after an update, the email notifications stopped working in the forum; when I noticed your posts without receiving a notification, I found it and fixed it; another good reason to talk here.

Re: Emergency stop error in running preamble

Hi Bob,

that's probably you compile preamble.tex (that starts without \documentclass as preamble.tex is actually be input after \documentclass in your document, and of course it contains no \end as in your first post's error message) and not your document. Ensure that your editor compiles your ...

Re: Emergency stop error in running preamble

Hi Bob,

you have \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{book} in the preamble, but \documentclass[openany]{book} in the document, you cannot have both. Remove one (better from the preamble) and see if it's better.

Re: Multiline Equation with Alignment

You can nest split or aligned environments, or use an alignat environment for aligning at several places, but a quick easy way is to have an invisible equal sign:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
x &= a + b + c + d \\
&= e + f + g + h ...
