It seems that currently OnlyOffice offers the possibility to type directly latex formulas but I can't seem to make ir work and the official documentation does not solve my problem.
I tried clicking on "insert", then "formula", then in the little expand menu, I click on the button that says "{ } Latex" and I type a latex formula but nothing shows up. I tried for example
$4 \leq 5$
{4 \leq 5}
{$ 4\leq 5$}
and other variants. I must be mising something.
I had the same problem so I experimented a bit and found that you can switch between the traditional formula view and the latex view by selecting the "Professional" and "Linear" options in that little floating menu. I don't think you need the dollar signs to delineate the equation.
So, type your Latex code in "Linear" mode and then view the equation in "Professional" mode I guess.
I've also noted that any formatting you do on the text in the equation, such as making any units non-italic is lost when switching between these modes.

My question in short is: How can you create a boxed text with a label that can be referenced?
Background: I am generating LaTeX output from a Markdown document to be included in a larger LaTeX document. I would like to describe the steps of an algorithm as boxed text with a label that can be referenced. I know how to create a labeled figure and how to create boxed text, but I haven't been able to figure out how to combine the two, i.e. how to label the boxed text as if it was a figure, or how to include the text in a figure (other than converting it to an image, which I'd like to avoid).
An initial "solution": Just putting a the box and an empty figure next to each other (see below) kind of works, except that nothing ensures that the figure label won't float away from the box as I work on the document, since figures are floating objects while text boxes are part of the text, and the two are handled differently by LaTeX. Moreover, you may need to use LaTeX vertical space commands to make it look reasonably good, but it is hard to get it perfect. Is there a simple solution? Thanks!
P.S. I know that I could just switch to LaTeX and figure out a solution there, but here I am looking for a solution in Markdown, possibly making use of some embedded LaTeX commands.
You can see the algorithm in Figure \ref{methods:estimating}.
\fbox{\parbox{5in}{
1. Initialize $b_r=0$ for $r=1..R$ \\
2. For each item $i, i=1..U$, calculate ... \\
3. Re-estimate ... \\
4. Proceed to Step 2 until it converges.

It is rendered like this:
You can use one of the packages for writing algorithms. See https://www.sharelatex.com/learn/algorithms.
Mathematica appears to have difficulty horizontally aligning accents (e.g. bars, hats, and tildes) when placed on top of certain mathematical symbols.
Here's a simple example:
Using the AdjustmentBox typesetting construct (or Alt-Left/Right arrow in the frontend), one can manually adjust the relative horizontal position of the hat and the symbol j to produce the more aesthetically pleasing:
There are two problems here:
1). It is inconvenient and time-consuming to make these manual adjustments when this should really be the job of the typesetting engine proper. Indeed, LaTeX is able to position accents correctly over all of the standard symbols (roman and greek letter forms) without the need to manually tweak their relative positioning.
2). The relative re-positioning of the symbols using AdjustmentBox is lost when exporting the Notebook to PDF for printing and re-distribution.
Question:
Does anyone have any suggestions for a more convenient way (preferably automatic) to improve the typeset quality of formulas in Mathematica notebooks that use accents, that preferably will also survive export of the notebook document to PDF format before printing?
You can select " ĵ " from the Windows character map and paste it in.
Style[ĵ, Italic, 24, Bold, FontFamily -> "Times"]
Also you can assign it to an input alias (borrowing from Andrew Moylan)
n = SelectedNotebook[];
SetOptions[n,
InputAliases ->
Append[Options[n, InputAliases][[1, 2]], "j^" -> "ĵ"]]
Typing Escj^Esc produces ĵ.
Well, I do not think that this is possible.
You may ask Wolfram Research to include unicode character 0135 , i.e., they should add \[JHat], like
\[IHat]. Then italics display nicely.
This is my first post here. I can usually find what I'm looking for using questions other people have asked, but this time I'm stumped. Please can anyone help?
I'm trying to get Latex to generate a text file every time it is compiled (this bit I can do). I need the text file to have the following format
text text
I have found out how to output a text file from LaTex, but I can't get it to insert a tab, only a space. A post here on StackOverflow shows how to include the backslash character in the text output using the following code:
\makeatletter
\immediate\write\outputfile{text \#backslashchar text}
\makeatother
I'm sure that something similar must work for inserting a tab, but I can't find a solution.
If anyone here knows how to do this I would be very, very grateful.
Many thanks!
There is no counterpart to the concept of a tab in (La)TeX, except when you are aligning the columns in a table. If what you meant by a tab is indentation at the beginning of a paragraph, that is considered a matter of design. Namely, the \parindent parameter specifies the distance that each paragraph should be indented. There is no 'tab' character that occupies the initial position of each paragraph.
However, you can forcefully insert a space in an arbitrary position. For example, use \hspace{distance}, where distance can be something like '3em' (3 times the width of m) or '1cm'.
I am trying to write a report and stuck with a wide figure. My document type is PRL using revtex4.1 with two columns. I have a wide figure which consists of 8 subfigures. I am trying to place it bottom of a page but it insists to go next page. Here is code for my wide figure:
\begin{figure*}
\centering
\subfloat[s1]{\label{fig:s1}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s1.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s2]{\label{fig:s2}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s2.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s3]{\label{fig:s3}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s3.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s4]{\label{fig:s4}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s4.png}}\\
\subfloat[s5]{\label{fig:s5}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s5.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s6]{\label{fig:s6}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s6.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s7]{\label{fig:s7}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s7.png}}\qquad
\subfloat[s8]{\label{fig:s8}\includegraphics[width=0.20\textwidth]{s8.png}}
\caption{\label{fig:s}Caption}
\end{figure*}
Try also
\begin{figure*}[!hb]
If your figure is too wide, this might help: Centering wide tables or figures.
I don't know whether it will work, but have you tried using placements, ie:
\begin{figure*}[b]
where b stands for bottom?
You could also try using the float package (put this in the preamble, before \begin{document}:
\usepackage{float}
and then using
\begin{figure*}[H]
to specify exactly where you want your figure to be, i.e. put the figure exactly in the position in relation to your text where you want the figure to be placed.
It may be that your figure is just too big and it won't fit there, so you may have to reduce the size of the figures or fiddle with the margins (not recommended, but possible).
Lastly, in 6 days the LaTeX question and answer website will be open to everyone, and you might find it useful.
I am using LaTeX and the figure environment.
I am well familiar with the parameters to that environment: [htbp], and I am also generally familiar with the strategies that LaTeX takes, by default, to decide where to put each figure. For example, by placing figures at the top or bottom of the page.
What I am wondering is whether there is a package, macro, or some commands that I can give so that if I have a single-column document and I mostly have a single in-text reference to a figure, that the figure would be more likely to be placed in the same page of the reference?
For example, imagine that I have a long paragraph which in the middle has a \ref{FIG:X}. When rendered, some of the paragraph appears before the page break, and some appears after the page break. I can also place the figure command somewhere before and after the whole paragraph. Is there a way to get it to actually be placed in the same page as the actual reference?
I don't want to sound too negative, but there are occasions when what you want is almost impossible without a lot of "artificial" tuning of page breaks.
If the callout falls naturally near the bottom of a page, and the figure falls on the following page, moving the figure back one page will probably displace the callout forward.
I would recommend (as far as possible, and depending on the exact size of the figures):
Place the figures with [t] (or [h] if you must)
Place the figures as near as possible to the "right" place (differs for [t] and [h])
Include the figures from separate files with \input, which will make them much easier to move around when you're doing the final tuning
In my experience, this is a big eater-up of non-available time (:-)
In reply to Jon's comment, I think this is an inherently difficult problem, because the LaTeX guys are no slouches. You may like to read Frank Mittelbach's paper.
Yes, include float package into the top of your document and H (capital H) as a figure specifier:
\usepackage{float}
\begin{figure}[H]
.
.
.
\end{figure}
You can always add the "!" into your float-options. This way, latex tries really hard to place the figure where you want it (I mostly use [h!tb]), stretching the normal rules of type-setting.
I have found another solution:
Use the float-package. This way you can place the figures where you want them to be.
I solve this problem by always using the [h] option on floats (such as figures) so that they (mostly) go where I place them. Then when I look at the final draft, I adjust the location of the float by moving it in the LaTeX source. Usually that means moving it around the paragraph where it is referenced. Sometimes I need to add a page break at an appropriate spot.
I've found that the default placement of floats is reasonable in LaTeX, but manual adjustments are almost always needed to get things like this just right. (And sometimes it isn't possible for everything to be perfect when there are lots of floats and footnotes.)
The manual for the memoir class has some good information about how LaTeX places floats and some advice for manipulating the algorithm.
If you want force this behaviour on all of your figures try
...
\usepackage{float}
\floatplacement{figure}{H}
...
Maybe this will help you?
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{picture_name}
\end{center}
I think is better to use the graphics command when your figures run away.
I have some useful comments. Because I had similar problem with location of figures.
I used package "wrapfig" that allows to make figures wrapped by text.
Something like
...
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{graphicx}
...
\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{53pt}
\includegraphics[width=53pt]{cone.pdf}
\end{wrapfigure}
In options {r} means to put figure from right side. {l} can be use for left side.
