@DavidCarlisle -- the problem with figure is that it has its own ideas about where to put something on a page (and not always the current page). but if you know where you want something (e.g. a tabular) and there's room for it where you input it, then there's not always a good existing latex environment.

@santimirandarp -- @DavidCarlisle's answer that \par is needed is correct. if it's not there, and the passage you want to be centered is just enclosed by braces, it won't be centered, because the decision on things like centering and baselines isn't made until a paragraph break occurs. this is a feature of tex itself, not altered by latex.

@DavidCarlisle Consider this: after I changed my profile pic to TikZ, I was in every month the reputation charts before @egreg. This pictures make one look much more competent than one actually is. Does that sound convincing? ;-)

David Carlisle

@marmot egreg could use that help, I agree, I'm sure I look very competent already:-) Good night:-)

marmot

@DavidCarlisle How could he be in the charts before himself? ;-)

Hi

I have a latex file, in which a very particular page, which is not so important to me every time I compile code for that file. But, in every other latex files that I have, front page opens, as i expect. Can I solve this issue?

Any one knows what happened to micropress-inc.com and if there is any other way to get their math fonts (namely micropress-inc.com/fonts/ifmath/ifmain.htm). An acquaintance of mine is trying to contact them but no luck with email or phone.

@KhaledHosny someone asked on tex list the other day and got an answer pointing to Michael Vulis' academic address tug.org/pipermail/texhax/2018-November/023338.html

@DavidCarlisle Well, that is the same person I’m asking for :) so I guess he had no luck with that either.

David Carlisle

@KhaledHosny I thought it might be:-)

I'd like to put some big bold red text right on top of a verbatim environment. Any ideas? :(

Harald Hanche-Olsen

@NaCl Put it before the verbatim environment, perhaps?

NaCl

@HaraldHanche-Olsen No, I mean it should overlay the verbatim

Harald Hanche-Olsen

@NaCl Oh. Well, that's different. Are you in a situation where you are sure there won't be a page break in the verbatim? That would complicate things.

The verbatim fits on one beamer frame

I see, there is no rather simple solution, is there?

Harald Hanche-Olsen

@NaCl If a bit of manual fiddling is acceptable, put the command to generate the overlay text after the verbatim environment. Something like \raisebox{48pt}[0pt][0pt]{\makebox[0pt][l]{\huge\textcolor{red}{foo!}}}. If you need to measure the height of the verbatim, more work is needed.

Ulrike Fischer

@NaCl easy:

\documentclass[]{beamer}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[fragile]

\begin{verbatim}
abc\\
abc\\
abc\\
\end{verbatim}

\vspace{-3\baselineskip}
\textcolor{red}{on verbatim}
\end{frame}


\end{document}

Harald Hanche-Olsen

@UlrikeFischer So long as you don't want other content to appear after the verbatim on the same frame, this will work well. Otherwise, there is the question of adding the right amount of positive space to get back below the verbatim for the continuation.

NaCl

oh, thanks!

Need to play around with the colour, though, as it appears pink. Might be because of pygmentize

Ulrike Fischer

8:26 AM

@HaraldHanche-Olsen sure. but without context or mwe it is difficult to know what would be the best solution so you can only offer some options.

Harald Hanche-Olsen

@UlrikeFischer No complaints from me; we both offered ideas, he can pick and choose according to his needs.

NaCl

You both helped me well :-)

@PauloCereda I am in the forecourt of hell, in terms of my arara rules.
None of it still works :(

Q: arara: How to fix ghostscript.yaml due to arara - version 4?

I have the arara rule ghostscript.yaml written by @clemens and @esdd and some lints added by myself, which converts pdf-files into graphic files, like png, using ghostscript. I set up TeXLive 2018. My old arara rules do not work any more. I tried the rule converter rc.jar without succes. What ...
