QUESTION: How to create table with ALOT of text in cells

You should provide a Infominimal working example, so that others can help you. You cannot expect others to type all (or part of) the material you have shown.

Take a look at the tabularray package, and check for long tables spanning multiple pages. This is easily doable.

Extracting sections from a large document into a database

In principle, it should be possible. Without looking at how you have structured your LaTeX file, it is difficult to guess. If you are adding new citations (only), biber/biblatex may serve the purpose.

Please post a snippet of your tex file, and let suggestions come in.

Using Google Noto fonts (with multilingual or unilingual documents)

When I checked today (Aug 16, 2024), colon is there in the font. I had faced the very same problem with Kannada font. After downloading the current version, I got the 'regular' ascii chars in the font. Hope this late reply helps, if it is not already solved.

First I tried your working example. CHanged 3 to 5; it worked. Copied your "non-working" code. That also compiled without any errors.

TeXmaker. Regular expression. Question.

Thanks :-)

I tried texdoc l3regex and it came up empty. No documentation seems to be bundled with TeXLive. CTAN page also was not helpful (for me). Where can I find info about how to use this package?

TeXmaker. Regular expression. Question.

Hi Stefan,

Can you elaborate what you mean by that? I am under the impression that regex is a function provided by editors/programs/etc. I do not understand "LaTeX supports it".

How to make my table prettier?

The 'c' column specifier will not wrap long lines of text. You have to break it manually and put the extra text on the next row. Alternately, you can use the 'p' column specifier and get better results.

Since your question is bout getting a 'prettier table, as is commonly suggested, avoid using ...

Take a look at the package `listings' package. If you want to go fancy, then use `tcolorbox'.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{listings}

\begin{document}

\noindent
This is a piece of octave code:

\lstset{language=octave}
\begin{lstlisting}
octave:2> a * 10.5
ans = 105

Latex Beamer error

Please use the code tags to enclose your code.

It compiles, and $D$ comes out as expected. Are you getting any error messages?

move symbol to the left


What do the \[ \] do? And what about the \pqty ? How do I write the fat symbols for my vectors?

The `\[' and '\]' is the shorthand for the environment [env]equation*[/env]. The pqty is for typesetting quantities within parentheses.

As pointed out to you by Johannes, you should *really* read up ...
