It is easy to produce a path between two nodes consisting of a single horizontal and a single vertical line (from the manual):
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (0,0) node(a) [draw] {A} (1,1) node(b) [draw] {B};
\draw (a.north) |- (b.west);
\draw[color=red] (a.east) -| (2,1.5) -| (b.north);
\end{...
@GonzaloMedina Yes. I actually was looking for one of my answers regarding one of those paths but finally found this one with Google. This question comes up at least one a week …
Hey guys, I had a quick question about tables. I am getting overful \hbox with the following table and I've tried to fix it with `@{}` and `p{5cm}` but it's not working. What could be the issue? `\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline Module(Overview of classes) & Input & Process & Output \\ \hline Runner & None & Controls the calling of Main.java & Main.java \\ \hline Main & None & Controls functions of sub-classes & sub-class output \\ \hline User & First name and last name & Group the inputted information & The inputted information \\
@Kan I tried the following code `\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{|X|X|X|X|} \hline \textbf{Module(Overview of classes)} & \textbf{Input} & \textbf{Process} & \textbf{Output} \\ \hline Runner & None & Controls the calling of Main.java & Main.java \\ \hline Main & None & Controls functions of sub-classes & sub-class output \\ \hline User & First name and last name & Group the inputted information & The inputted information \\ \hline UserInformationDialog & None & Organization of user informatino & Output of user information \\
@gekkostate Due to this replyTo give clear scope of your question and concise, If i may suggest the title as " Visual comparison between LaTeX and Word ouput" in terms of typesetting, hyphenation,kerning, fonts, ligatures, glyphs, transparency with support/links to nitens.org/taraborelli/latex. feel free.
@texenthusiast I think google fonts might be way to go. The P can be had from the Petite Formal Script. There are several script fonts of that kind... Brent has a Git repository and he has a Google fonts in LaTeX version... But, I could not wok out how that was done.
@texenthusiast Oh, you don't see them at all. Sorry, my browser sometimes show these characters other places as well, and I've never bothered to investigate. I'll upload an image in a sec.
@kan Did you see my last version? The one where only one control sequence is defined. Tell the person that complicated notation will bite her/him somedays.
@egreg In this case, this is more of a necessity! :( The problem is they have to type so many pages of calculations that involve expressions of this kind... some manipulations...
@egreg Your recommended solution works for this case they have in mind too! Thanks!
I am also looking forward to helping them out with some thing like a sympy implementation...
when i have a theorem environment and and enumeration, and i label one of the items, how can i say latex to print the name of the environment the number of it and the itemname?
pdfTeX warning (dest): name{Def.3.2} has been referenced but does not exist, replaced by a fixed one
I use amsthm and hyperref and I refer to one of the amsthm environments which i labeled. I don't see the difference to the other label refs i made earlier or later
it is the only one with theoremstyle{remark} could that be a problem ?
@DominicMichaelis usually they sort themselves out if you re-run you can get that if you delete (or renumber) a numbered thing as hyperref builds the pdf bookmarks links based on information on the previous run, and it's trying to link to something that isn't there now.
@David Carlisle When i put the label at the end of the environment it gives no warnigns, the environment breaks over a page may that cause the problem ?
I would like to typeset some easy polyomino puzzles and therefore need a suitable LaTeX package. I could not find an easy to use package (other than using TikZ of course). Is there any approach other than using TikZ/PSTricks?
For anybody not aware of what polyominos are:
http://en.wikipedia.org/...
@JosephWright Well, every great tool starts like that :) But based on your answer to my earlier PSTrikz/Tikz question PDF lacks most of the tools. What is the idea to close the gap in between with pure PDF?
How to Talk Like Shakespeare
Instead of you, say thou or thee (and instead of y’all, say ye).
Rhymed couplets are all the rage.
Men are Sirrah, ladies are Mistress, and your friends are all called Cousin.
Instead of cursing, try calling your tormenters jackanapes or canker-blossoms or poisonous bunch-back’d toads.
Don’t waste time saying "it," just use the letter "t" (’tis, t’will, I’ll do’t).
Verse for lovers, prose for ruffians, songs for clowns.
When in doubt, add the letters "eth" to the end of verbs (he runneth, he trippeth, he falleth).

Any such package would in turn use TikZ/PSTricks, and probably have a very TikZ/MP-like interface. If you can make a polyomino with TikZ, then I suggest you simply write such a package, as one does not appear to exist. — Sean Allred3 hours ago

I am using it but I'm not using it for the overall document geometry, just for single pages.
Shouldn't the a5paper option I give to the \documentclass also apply to geometry? I mean it seems it does, it just has a different opinion on what that means than memoir does.
I use a template for beamer that redefines the block environment to make a real shadow, outline and custom bend corners. The look of it is quite nice but unfortunatly comes with the side effect of an incorrect position of the hyperref links inside the block environment. I would like to leave the ...

@PauloCereda When I was living in Catania, I met a colleague during my holidays at home, he was going to Barcelona for a semester; his son was quite surprised that from Padova to Catania was a bit longer than to Barcelona.
@MarioS.E. I strongly disagree with the detailed personal communication citation. First, nobody cares how you did, second, if they are more than two exchanges basically that means you are collaborating so it needs full acknowledgements.
It's used for that guy taught me that type of acknowledgements.
Not for we met in the cafeteria and he ordered strawberry ice cream while I was chilling .....
@percusse I get the idea, but still... don't you think that when you have an email back and forth about some topic this should be mentioned? Specially when it's the product of a large deliberation
another example then. What about if in one mail a persons says something you like so much you want it to be included as one of your conclusions. Of course that is not your idea, and that idea is not published anywhere... so... what to do in this case?
@PauloCereda You pass by Bologna, Florence, Orvieto, Rome, Naples, Pompei, Salerno; then the whole coast of Calabria, Messina, Taormina, the Etna. Very different places and landscapes. Or you can go along the Adriatic Sea: Ravenna, Rimini, Pesaro, Pescara, Foggia, Bari; then the other coast of Calabria.
During the preperation of this thesis, This person kindly suggested to include bla bla which is a very good idea... or a clever idea or something like that
theses are even more informal
since it's your document and it should only be defendable as opposed to publishable
@PauloCereda Well, Trento has only a few things to see: the cathedral and the castle. For a short visit of Venice reserve at least two weeks in your program.
