@yo' if you do that I have also a fix for ieeecolor.sty (boy, I don't understand why their template are so...)

9:18 AM

@Rmano this one? tex.stackexchange.com/questions/570510/… You shouldn't need to define ver@color, xcolor takes care of that. (Actually I'm surprised you say that tikz has issues with color, It includes xcolor but loading xcolor and color should not hurt. (the extra groups you added are neeed of course!)

@DavidCarlisle Ah, didn't know that, so loading xcolor before should suffice (otherwise there is a warning for each section-caption...)

@Rmano I would take a look, but I have no idea how to find this class, this template selector is like playing lotto ;-(

David Carlisle

@Rmano I didn't actually try the example, I'll look in a bit. But in general if you load xcolor first it suppresses color (by defining ver@color), but if you load color first it should also work as xcolor takes care to redefine anything it wants to redefine

Rmano

@DavidCarlisle @UlrikeFischer I am preparing an example...

@DavidCarlisle @UlrikeFischer overleaf.com/read/fbfnjxqxdmjn

I can share also the write-enable link if you like

This is the distributed template, I just added tikz which loads xcolor and then generates zillions (well, 56) warnings about incompatible colors...

@Rmano a bit shorter:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{nblue}{rgb}{0,0.263,0.576}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\begin{document}
\color{nblue} blub

\end{document}

Rmano

@UlrikeFischer Yes, just a bit ;-)

Thanks

David Carlisle

hey I was going to post this:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{color}

 \definecolor{nblue}{cmyk}{0,0,0,1}

\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\textcolor{nblue}{a}
\end{document}

which is even shorter :-)

Ulrike Fischer

@Rmano well the easiest work around is to load xcolor earlier then all definitions are xcolor definitions and it will be happy.

\RequirePackage[table]{xcolor}
\documentclass{article}

@DavidCarlisle but the log-file is longer

David Carlisle

@Rmano if you load color the xcolor then xcolor silently handles the predefined colours like black and red, but if you define your own colours using the (standard, original and greatest) version of \definecolor then use that color it moans at you. (it could have not moaned and just fixed it but....)

The obvious solution is to switch it to l3color then blame @JosephWright for any problems.

@DavidCarlisle :)

David Carlisle

@Rmano @JosephWright I think it doesn't come up often (and I had forgotten it was an issue) as usually when people load both they have \usepackage{color,xcolor}....\definecolor... which is harmless, it's only an issue if you make color package definitions then load xcolor.

Rmano

10:59 AM

@DavidCarlisle So in the case of ieeecolor.sty just loading xcolor before the documentclass should fix it...

Yes, it does. I will simplify my answer...

David Carlisle

11:17 AM

@Rmano but it does mean your suggested change to the class (to load xcolor) would be good to stop the warnings in general

Rmano

Yes --- but I still do not know who to contact. I will try to search the info later... xcolor things are not dangerous, but I had color leaks in my last paper, so that should be fixed

Just wondering: Is there any reason ỳ is not setup for pdflatex? (came up in a biber question where \`y was used)

David Carlisle

2:51 PM

@daleif this came up the other day with another one from the extended latin block, I think we just missed it. @egreg added an issue to add them I thought but I don't see it now

@daleif ah it was email not an issue, referenced from

A: ! Package inputenc Error: Unicode character ḱ (U+1E31)(inputenc) not set up for use with LaTeX

if you type h to the error prompt it tells you: ! Package inputenc Error: Unicode character ḱ (U+1E31) (inputenc) not set up for use with LaTeX. See the inputenc package documentation for explanation. Type H <return> for immediate help. ... ...

@daleif the suggestion in the email was to try to cover all these for translitertaed cyrillic ISO 9: g̀ǵëêžẑïǰl̂n̂ḱćŭčd̂šŝʺěèûâʼǎf̀ỳ Other: ġďīīľńćǵăģḟẏ

modulo usual typos

@DavidCarlisle might give less clutter, especially when biber converts \`y to utf8. That might surprise some people.
