@HarishKumar Yes. I can't work out what is happening in the MiKTeX case. In the TeX Live case, I can see exactly what happened and why things are going wrong. But I'm not sure about MiKTeX...
You can make this calendar easily without need to the packages you mentioned. Here is my solution:
%pdflatex
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\color{white}
\pagecolor{black}
\begin{document}
\noindent
\textbf{JANUARY} \\
\noindent\makebox[\linewidth]{\rule{\textwidth...
I posted an easy answer to the question
and another user posted a very difficult (at least for beginner user) by means of packages
which approach do you usually have when doing typesetting in latex?
@EnthusiasticStudent yes but you have to qualify "easiest" we ask people to make minimal examples for the site, but it's unlikely the OP just wanted a single month. If you lay the calendar out using explicit day/number assignments then it may look sort of reasonable if you jut set one month but of you do a year it looks tiresome, and if you want a macro that takes a date argument and sets that month, it doesn't really help.
@EnthusiasticStudent that doesn't mean you have to use tikz rather than tabular to lay out the calendar but probably does mean the answer should include date arithmetic to work out what day of the week each calendar day falls on.
@EnthusiasticStudent \\ \noindent don't use \noindent after \\
@JosephWright Ah! I have a curious problem, which may be due to cygwin or incompetence. Petra has just tested a zip file for me, produced by l3build, and all the file permissions are zero, which is, clearly, bad if true.
@JosephWright I'll explain all this in a new issue shortly.
@JosephWright If you'd care to send me a test archive, I can have a look at how the bits differ from mine. Looking at stuff with cygwin, Windows COPY appears not to copy any non-dos permission bits.
@JosephWright I'll also try a bit of hacking to see if I can get l3build to detect and use Cygwin utilities, but I know there'll be path separator issues (at least).
@Iplodman I can hardly write short texts with that thing. But it is ok for me. The camera bugs me, tough. Every once in a while i have to transfer a pic to the laptoop. using bluetooth. Yay.
@Iplodman For me the whole christmas thing (the commercial behind it) makes it faked. At this time of year, the people want to be happy, want to make others happy, want to ...
@Iplodman I think, if they would distribute all that christmas energy over the whole year, life would be better the whole year.
@Iplodman What would you like more, a christmas gift by your partner on christmas eve/morning or rather, when you have no clue at all, your partner says »I brought your favourite cake«
@Brent.Longborough Re the Cygwin business. When you made your zip file, exactly what did you do? For me, Info-ZIP on Windows sets files as (Unix) 600, one of two possible perfectly reasonable ways of mapping FAT to Unix permissions.
@Brent.Longborough I wonder if the problem is something to do with the settings Cygwin sets up in Info-ZIP for compressing files, perhaps ones outside of the Cygwin root
@Brent.Longborough I checked unzipping a fille made on Windows (600 permissions) and these come on on my Mac as 644: the zip file 'knows' the source was FAT so I guess the extract stage makes the adjustment.
@DavidCarlisle Could you check what the Cygwin command-line zip does in terms of file permissions (I'm not installing Cygwin to test this!)
@JosephWright well OK although there is a difference in how the files were created, if they were created by a cygwin application (including cygwin texlua, or cygwin cp etc) then they will have unix style permissions when created and cygwin will see those, if the file is generated by a windows application cygwin has to do some mapping to unix style permissions from what it gets from windows (or at least that's how I think it works, will test...)
@DavidCarlisle I was thinking specifically 'normal' Windows files zipped using the Cygwin Info-ZIP exec. As I said, using the 'normal' version of Info-ZIP I get sane permissions
@DavidCarlisle Also unzips fine, keeps 700 permissions as expected (as is treated as Unix not FAT). I wonder how Brent got a file with 000 permissions!
This looks like a duplicate: http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/80027/5763 It's not limited to Lyx - do we have a question that adresses this (using only sectioning commands leads to overfull pages)?
I do not like \land for logical and, in math mode, it shows as ^. I'd like to use && instead. How can I use && inside math mode, while I am in array environment? Since & is used for tabbing. I googled a little but not finding anything, thought to check. I can post question on main board if needed.
@Nasser \land is a binary operator used in logic. You're trying to use it as an informal connective, which is wrong. I'd simply use \quad\text{and}\quad.
@Nasser Symbol abuse is common with inexperienced mathematician. And also with experienced ones who like to obfuscate their writing.
@DavidCarlisle yes, I am working on alignment. This is Mathematica Latex code generated, so need to edit it by hand and copy it to my Latex document to clean it up a little.
@Nasser Ive not used mathematica for a decade or so but any numeric software can control the format for real numbers and print to a specified number of places,
@Nasser the lower bound of q1 and the range of q2 seems fixed so why print them every line?
David, controlling decimal points is possible, but for printing inside Mathematica. Sure. But I am using Latex export, which means Mathematica uses the actual numerical data in the variable. I am not printing here, just exporting to Latex. But no problem, easy to work around.
