General ⇒ Unloading a package

[Montag]

Hello,

I'd like to "unload" the package textcomp when I load the package kpfonts. Can that be done like

Code: Select all

\usepackage{kpfonts}
\unloadpackage{textcomp}

? Meaning ... I'm looking for the opposite of \usepackage.

Packages can not be unloaded thus there is not such a command.


Best regards
Thorsten

Ok, well, can packages be "deactivated"?

[localghost]

I'm not aware of a general solution. From some packages I know that they have some kind of "load only" option. But don't ask me for their names.

I think it might help to tell us why you think you want to do this, and maybe we can suggest an alternative.

I want to deactive/unload the package textcomp when loading the package kpfonts.
(I am simply stating what I want, honestly.)
There's an error when both packages are loaded and thus I do not want to switch between two tex files all the time when I load kpfonts. This is, of course, for testing purposes concerning the layout/look of the document.

[localghost]

The kpfonts package loads the textcomp package on its own and offers an option »notextcomp«. So this should be what you need. The manual has the details.

Right, thank you, I hadn't noticed that. Thank you.
