I want to define a command that expands to two completely different things depending on whether I supply, or not, an optional argument. For example,
\mycmd{normal} -> something(normal)
\mycmd[optional]{normal} -> anotherthing(normal, optional)
How can I do this?
@cgnieder I have read the manual. It is no clear to me how the \NewQuSolPair work because I dont know know what the question options and general options are. The code you gave me to avoid numbers in the solutions headings was:
@leo You don't need the part between \ExplSyntaxOn and \ExplSyntaxOff any more. You still need to declare the instance and renew the standard environments with \RenewQuSolPair
@leo exsheets has options specific to the question environment (like type, or ID), options specific the solution environment (name and print) and options that determine some general behaviour (like headings). \NewQuSolPair and RenewQuSolPair allow to preset most of them.
It's certainly possible to write class files with macros for introducing number chapter, sections etc. that do not make use of \thechapter, \thesection to typeset the numbers (so stopping numbering from being configured in the usual way). But are there any class files in use that are annoying in this way?
(My question comes from commenting on whether a question should be closed)
I really like the style of Springer book (which is available here), so I decided to customize it for my own book.
In that template, the section in chapter is labelled as : 1.1 (1st section in chapter 1), x.y(xth section in chapter y).
I want to change numbering the section in each chapter by a...
I'm sure this must have been asked already, so can somone point me to the appropriate documentation? I have two tables in a document, and they are showing as Table 1 and 2, of course. But I want them to be Table 5 and Table 6. So, how can I hardwire these numbers in?
@CharlesStewart I should think it's generally applicable (but hard to believe it isn't a duplicate) although normally if changing from 1.1 numbering to 1 you also want \removefromreset so that the numbering doesn't start from 1 again every chapter, but in this case the OP said that is what he did want.
I'm having to do a lot of extra work here because the silly publisher insists on using freaking Word. Why can't people see the light? I thought Springer was supposed to know about LaTeX...
Successful weekend :-) got minted working in miktex, assembled a self installing winedt macro for cmhughess' indent (for winedt 7) and above all set up context working alongside miktex (windows 7) using winedt 7 as the editor.
@topskip It's the value to which \clubpenalty is restored after it's modified by \@afterheading. If you don't set it, you get the default 150 after the first section title.
@topskip Luck. There was at least one .ldf file for babel that set \clubpenalty but not \@clubpenalty. Since this setting is performed at \begin{document} as part of \selectlanguage, it comes after the one performed by default. Guess what? :)
@Bugbusters using aligned in inline math seems a little brave. I haven't traced exactly what it is doing but if you use that aligned in display math you get a more constructive message:
Package amsmath Warning: Cannot use `split' here;
(amsmath) trying to recover with `aligned' on input line 10.
Package amsmath Warning: Cannot use `split' here;
(amsmath) trying to recover with `aligned' on input line 14.
Package amsmath Warning: Cannot use `split' here;
(amsmath) trying to recover with `aligned' on input line 18.
@topskip Right, that is what I said (or meant to say). Basically, because Indians aren't good at technical stuff, in my experience. Though I admit I've not had good experiences with publisher typsetting in other places. Most of the typesetting people I've dealt with have seemed a bit half-witted.
If I had a choice, I would not consider using a typesetter who was not proficient at TeX. At a minimum, it would show good taste.
@PauloCereda If you look at my linkedin page you see I'm endorsed (so presumably an expert?) in lots of languages, some of which I've never seen. (does anyone understand linkedin?-)
I was trying to get some idea about how I'd tackle and that is what I could guess. But, I need to learn minipage syntax. Could you give me pointers to something about it (you may have written too, so, your own write up is OK too.)
I am trying to make my first LaTeX file and have been reading syntax for a bit and have not been able to figure one thing out yet and don't seem to find anything about it online so I thought I might just ask:)
How is it possible to place an image next to an equation?
I tried to do it by wrappin...
Now, that I read the message I wrote for you, it reads terrible. Hope you could make out what I wanted to say: I was trying to guess how I'd accomplish and array was what I could guess but, did not work. But, I should learn minipage syntax [...]
@TorbjørnT. Thanks for the link... I'll look through.
@TorbjørnT. Perhaps, @Nicola should add it.
@TorbjørnT. Thanks for the link... I'll look through.
@kan That would be me. And I stand by the statement. And I'm Indian, so I think I know something about it. I should be more precise and say that I had in mind e.g. Indian software engineers. However, don't really want to have an argument/discussion about it.
@user4035 Joseph gave an example here (I'd have to look up the current version syntax as I've not really used the latex3 syntax since before latex2e came out:-)
@user4035 No you don't want to index into an array you just want to iterate over the sequence (most likely) there's probably someone here who's used this more recently than 1990 who can give the syntax without having to look it up:-)
@user4035 the above defines a command separated list them maps the \fbox function over it so you get three boxes. (First L3 code I've written this millenium:-)
@doctorate You could load \usepgfplotslibrary{decorations.markings} and then use \path [decoration={markings, mark=at position 1 with {\arrow[scale=2]{latex}}}, decorate] (0,0);

I'm trying to draw an arrow with a bigger head than normal. Is it possible without changing the style of the line itself?
