I'm trying to get a list of abbreviations with the package acro. This is a minimal, reproducable Example:
\documentclass[13pt, titlepage]{article}
\usepackage{acro}
\begin{document}
\DeclareAcronym{uxo}{
short = UXO ,
long = Unexploded Ordenances ,
tag = abbrev
}
\printacronyms[include=abbrev, name=Abkürzungsverzeichnis]
\ac{uxo}
\end{document}
So printacronyms should print out all the acronyms I set with the tag abbrev, but all I get is the word "Abkürzungsverzeichnis". There are no Error-messages and I can use the abbreviations if I type \ac{auv} (like in the example). What is going on here?
The problem can be avoided by placing \DeclareAcronym in the preamble:
\documentclass[13pt, titlepage]{article}
\usepackage{acro}
\DeclareAcronym{uxo}{
short = UXO ,
long = Unexploded Ordenances ,
tag = abbrev
}
\begin{document}
\printacronyms[include=abbrev, name=Abkürzungsverzeichnis]
\ac{uxo}
\end{document}

For a CV, I want to underline my name wherever it appears in a bibliography. I am using LaTex with biblatex. Is there an easy way to automatically underline a certain name? Thanks!
For example, I want "Name Surname" to be underlined automatically in all the entries in the bibliography.
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[maxbibnames=99, sorting=ydnt]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{test.bib}
\begin{filecontents}{test.bib}
#article{paper1,
author = {Surname, Name and Another, Name and Thethird, Name and Andthe, Last},
journal = {JUR},
month = {5},
title = {{Title very good}},
year = {2015}
}
#article{paper2,
author = {Guy, Some and Surname, Name and Dude, The},
journal = {JUR},
month = {5},
title = {{Another brilliant title}},
year = {2016},
}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
You can use the trick from https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/355317/36296
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[maxbibnames=99, sorting=ydnt]{biblatex}
\begin{filecontents*}[overwrite]{\jobname.bib}

journal = {JUR},
month = {5},
title = {{Title very good}},
year = {2015}
}
#article{paper2,
author = {Guy, Some and Surname, Name and Dude, The},
journal = {JUR},
month = {5},
title = {{Another brilliant title}},
year = {2016},
}
\end{filecontents*}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\newboolean{bold}
\newcommand{\makeauthorsbold}[1]{%
\DeclareNameFormat{author}{%

\docsvlist{#1}%
\ifthenelse{\value{listcount}=1}
{%

Just to be sure, do you want to highlight all the authors or just a particular name?
In the first case, I invite you to look at the .bst files that format the bibliography to find the one that suits you or even create one yourself (which is quite long).
In the second case, I don't see any solution except to add \hl{Name, Surname} inside your bib file.
as a followup question to lua tables - allowed values and syntax:
I need a table that equates large numbers to strings. The catch seems to be that strings with punctuation are not allowed:
local Names = {
[7022003001] = fulsom jct, OH
[7022003002] = kennedy center, NY
}
but neither are quotes:
local Names = {
[7022003001] = "fulsom jct, OH"
[7022003002] = "kennedy center, NY"
}
I have even tried without any spaces:
local Names = {
[7022003001] = fulsomjctOH
[7022003002] = kennedycenterNY
}
When this module is loaded, wireshark complains "}" is expected to close "{" at line . How can I implement a table with a string that contains spaces and punctuation?
As per Lua Reference Manual - 3.1 - Lexical Conventions:
A short literal string can be delimited by matching single or double quotes, and can contain the (...) C-like escape sequences (...).
That means the short literal string in Lua is:
local foo = "I'm a string literal"
This matches your second example. The reason why it fails is because it lacks a separator between table members:
local Names = {
[7022003001] = "fulsom jct, OH",
[7022003002] = "kennedy center, NY"
}
You can also add a trailing separator after the last member.
The more detailed description of the table constructor can be found in 3.4.9 - Table Constructors. It could be summed up by the example provided there:
a = { [f(1)] = g; "x", "y"; x = 1, f(x), [30] = 23; 45 }
I really, really recommend using the Lua Reference Manual, it is an amazing helper.
I also highly encourage you to read some basic tutorials e.g. Learn Lua in 15 minutes. They should give you an overview of the language you are trying to use.
I would like to show the number in front of the full inline citation generated by \bibentry from the bibentry package, matching the one that appears in the bibliography.
In the following MWE, this would correspond to a [2] in front of the indented \bibentry. How would I do that?
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{bibentry}
\begin{filecontents}{test.bib}
#misc{Emma,
author = "Emma",
title = "Emma's publication",
year = "2001" }
#misc{Martha,
author = "Martha",
title = "Interesting thoughts",
year = "2003" }
#misc{Paul,
author = "Paul",
title = "Paul's essay",
year = "2000" }
\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
\nobibliography*
\noindent
This is a usual reference~\cite{Emma}.
Now I'm referring to\\[5pt]
\indent \bibentry{Martha}.\\[5pt]
The following is again a normal reference~\cite{Paul}.
\bibliography{test}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\end{document}
This image shows the output of the above MWE
I guess bibentry doesn't allow that, one possible solution is to define a new command (or redefine \bibentry) as a \cite and \bibentry.
Some thing like that:
\let\oldbibentry\bibentry
\renewcommand{\bibentry}[1]{\cite{#1} \oldbibentry{#1}}
So if we try this code:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{bibentry}
% redefine the bibentry command as cite then bibentry
\let\oldbibentry\bibentry
\renewcommand{\bibentry}[1]{\cite{#1} \oldbibentry{#1}}
\begin{filecontents}{test.bib}
#misc{Emma,
author = "Emma",
title = "Emma's publication",
year = "2001" }
#misc{Martha,
author = "Martha",
title = "Interesting thoughts",
year = "2003" }
#misc{Paul,
author = "Paul",
title = "Paul's essay",
year = "2000" }
\end{filecontents}
\nobibliography*
\begin{document}
\noindent
This is a usual reference~\cite{Emma}.
Now I'm referring to\\[5pt]
\indent \bibentry{Martha}.\\[5pt]
The following is again a normal reference~\cite{Paul}.
\bibliography{test}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\end{document}
it should produce:
I have a reference file (bib file) I want to convert it as
\bibitem[\protect\citeauthoryear{Allen C.W.}{1973}] {b1} Allen C.W., 1973,
Astrophysical quantities, ${3^{rd}}$ ed. (Athlone Press, London)
when I use
\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliography{bibfile}
Output ppl file as
\bibitem[Allen, 1973]{allen1973astrophysical}
Allen, C.~W. (1973).
Combining natbib with the newapa style gives something similar:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
#BOOK{1973asqu.book.....A,
author = {{Allen}, C.~W.},
title = "{Astrophysical quantities}",
keywords = {ASTROPHYSICS, ASTRONOMICAL CONSTANTS, TABLES, HANDBOOKS},
booktitle = {London: University of London, Athlone Press, |c1973, 3rd ed.},
year = 1973,
adsurl = {https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1973asqu.book.....A},
adsnote = {Provided by the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System}
}
\end{filecontents*}
\usepackage{natbib}
\begin{document}
\cite{1973asqu.book.....A}
\bibliographystyle{newapa}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}
Resulting .bbl file:
\begin{thebibliography}{}
\bibitem[\protect\citeauthoryear{{Allen}}{{Allen}}{1973}]{1973asqu.book.....A}
{Allen}, C.~W. (1973).
\newblock {\em {Astrophysical quantities}}.
\end{thebibliography}
I have a problem with reference style in LaTeX.
I use:
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=authoryear]{biblatex} %
But when I look at the references, the text is not inside parentheses.
For example:
,reviewed in Roy et al. 2010
should be
,reviewed in (Roy et al. 2010)
All bibliography package have a mean to either add or not parenthesis to a citation, depending on context.
Indeed, generally it is undesirable to have all citations bracketted.
For instance, if you say "see \cite{foobar}", you probably want "see (Foobar 1999)". But in a phrase like "(\cite{foobar} also has interesting examples)", you do not want parenthesis, as "((Foobar 1999) also ...)" looks ugly and is not advised in standard typographic rules. Probably "(Foobar 1999 also has ...)" is prefered.
For this reason, in vanilla bibtex, you have \cite (without parenthesis) and \citep (with parenthesis).
In biblatex, you can do the same. Instead of using \cite, use \parencite to get citations with parenthesis.
Another approach to add parenthesis around the citations is to change the definition of the \cite macro:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
#book{knuth,
author = {Knuth, Donald E.},
title = {The {\TeX} book},
