I am using biber and cite with \citet{}. While on Windows the output was something like: Kosse and Pfeiffer (2012) After I changed to Ubuntu, I get: Kosse and Pfeiffer, (2012) I don't get rid of the comma. Does anybody have an idea? The header includes: \usepackage[backend=biber, style=a...

I am using an elegant solution to place a logo on each slide, however for some slides (e.g. a full-screen image slide) I want to remove it. I have searched across stack for a solution to this. Whilst there are work-arounds, none use the tikz package elegantly to achieve the problem. Currently t...

I'm currently trying to make the spyder IDE work for a few days now and I'm out of ideas. Somehow, spyder never likes my PyQt5 installation regardless of the source of installation. What I have done first was to use the stable version of spyder v2.3.9 however it refused to work with my PyQt4. T...

A very simple question that is How can I insert ~ that goes above the letter in Latex? Thanks

I've heard that you should use \[ ... \] for displayed equations instead of $$ ... $$, but why is that? I'd assumed that it's so that you can more easily tell which are starting and which are ending delimiters, but if I always use a syntax-highlighting text editor, I can see that easily based o...

I am preparing a document of my research work so far. I am working with temporal logic. Hence, I need to use temporal operators like next and until. I am unable to do this in Tex Studio. Are there any specific packages for this?

Portions of my masters thesis work, which was never published officially, could be pretty easily adapted to a very comprehensively answer to a question on Programmers about Particle Swarm Optimization. However, I foolishly wisely1 chose to write it in LaTeX which means I cannot just copy/paste i...

I'm trying to turn my latex document into an odt file to be able to open it with LibreOffice (to then be able and save it as MS Word file so colleagues can open and comment on it). Although the file is quite complicated I get it more or less to the same stage as a very basic latex document, such ...

This summer I wrote my thesis (with a lot of this sites help). Last week I "renew" my computer and installed Latex again (MikTex and Texmaker). Since then I cannot run my code anymore. I always get the error: "undefined sequence" for the \subfloat command. I googled it and saw that there are some...

I've recently installed MikTeX 2.9 for Windows 7, 64. After installation I try to compile an IEEE template downloaded from their website. I get the following error: miktex-pdftex.exe: Invalid control sequence. I've tried many things I've read online but nothing seems to work. Any ideas? Thanks

I'm doing a project where I need to copy a table several times throughout a document. The basic structure for the table is the same, however, some of the input needs to change. I was wondering if it is possible to define a basic layout (or some kind of template) where I need only to fill in the v...

Well, yesterday I posted here this question. I could solve that problem on my WS with Windows 7 and MikTeX 2.9 (64 bits) with the trick suggested by Mark Birtwistle. Nevertheless, today, working on my PC at the Institute (where I use MikTeX 2.9 on Windows XP) I have another unexpected and strange...

if you change align* to equation*, you can embed either split or aligned within it, and \fiteq does what is wanted. it's also good to nullify \abovedisplayskip to avoid a large gap above the formula. \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage[most]{tcolorbox} \newcommand\fiteq[1]{% \sbox{\mybox}{$\...

When trying to draw a Feynman diagram using the feynmp-auto package, there simply is no result, the pdf comes out as a blank page. I use TeXstudio and MikTeX, and run the file with pdflatex. I have read the documentation (in which it is stated that in the case one uses MikTeX, -shell-espace shou...

I'm trying to debug a Too deeply nested error in LaTeX. It's not an obvious case of too deeply nested itemize or enumerate items. It's happening far into the document, at a \begin{quote}. Is there a way to get LaTeX to tell which counter(s) are causing the problem?

I just read this: Disable printing of fonts/packages to STDOUT and I was wondering whether the same could be effected somehow from the .tex file being compile (probably you would want to do this before the \documentclass, or at least before all of the \usepackages).

I've tried reading various sources (in particular Tex By Topic; I don't have a copy of the TeXBook) and experimenting on my own, but I'm still unclear as to how exactly the line spacing in and around a multiline math environment is determined by the parameters \abovedisplayskip, \belowdisplaysk...
