I want to be able to calculate the maximum point size I can use for a phrase in a serif font so that it fits within \textwidth. For the calculation, there would be two inputs:

Phrase
\textwidth

The output would be the point size of the font. In a simple way, I'm thinking it would go something like ...

I found the solution. I needed to change \poemtitle{To the Lighthouse} to a starred version: \poemtitle*{To the Lighthouse} to stop it putting entries into the table of contents.

I'm using this code to define a list of poems:

\documentclass[11pt,raggedbottom]{book}

\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{verse}

% For the package verse
\newcommand{\attribution}[1]{%
\nopagebreak{\raggedleft\footnotesize #1\par}}

\renewcommand{\listfigurename}{Photos ...

Got it!

I needed to read the tcolorbox manual to figure it out. Here is the code to set up the box to take three parameters:

Left indicator (heart)
Recipe title
Right indicator (check)


\makeindex

% Define custom gray colors
\definecolor{mylightgray}{RGB}{220, 220, 220} % RGB example ...

I discovered the reason for the varying vertical between the bottom of the grey band and the "Prep/Servings/Rating_Stars/Cook/Temp" line. If the recipe title has descenders, i.e, g, j, p, q, and y, then the band adjusts by widening to accommodate them. The top of the band stays exactly where it is ...

I have some success with this code using a tabularx environment to reposition my two indicators:


\vspace{-20pt}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{p{0.43\textwidth}p{0.44\textwidth}}
\hspace{0pt}\ding{164} & \hfill\ding{52}\hspace{0pt}
\end{tabularx}
\vspace{20pt}

I still have to test it out through ...

I'm creating a simple cookbook for my wife and I to use in our kitchen. A typical page output looks like this:

The problem I'm having is to get consistency in the vertical positioning of elements. The order in which I apply ...

I just tested the code and it fails to find Recipes.csv. How do I connect it so the code finds it? ~ Peter

I’m using the datatool package to structure a book of family recipes for my wife and I to use. I plan to divide it into three parts:

Common (recipes that we both use)
Mary (recipes that only she likes)
Peter (recipes that only I like)

To define the book structure, I’m starting simply using an ...

Thanks you, Stefan! Not understanding the code meant I was not experimenting for fear of breaking it. Wonderful!
