I have LaTeX paper that I need to include in my dissertation. I am working in OverLeaf. That paper was written under one document class while the university has its own class. I need to include the paper in the dissertation so that it has the university style, its images need to be listed in the list of figures of the dissertation, and the authors listed in the paper's bibliography needs to be listed in the university's class bibliography. Is there any way I can do that in OverLeaf?
There are several dedicated packages for this. For example have a look at the combine, subdocs or docmute packages (A list with even more suggestions can be fond at https://www.ctan.org/recommendations/docmute).
Here a short example with the docmute package
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{docmute}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
text
\chapter{imported paper}
\input{test}% assuming your paper is called test.tex
\end{document}
A Latex document cannot have multiple \documentclass. One solution would be to split the header/content of your latex document in overleaf:
Create a master.tex with the documentclass and put all your content (text between \begin{document} and \end{document} in a second content.tex. In the master, just \input{content}.
In your dissertation, just copy content.tex, its figure and add \input{} in the master file of your University which has the specific documentclass and bibliography settings.

I am building a multi-file latex project with overleaf, following this guide.
In short, I like moderncv title, and i want to use that together with a simple article to have my cover letter be consistent with my cv.
I tried setting up a main file
\documentclass[class=moderncv, crop=false]{standalone}
\moderncvstyle{classic}
\moderncvcolor{blue}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[subpreambles=true]{standalone}
\usepackage{import}
\usepackage[scale=0.75]{geometry}
\renewcommand*{\namefont}{\fontsize{30}{29}\mdseries\upshape}
\name{Name}{Surname}
\title{Presentation Letter}
\address{Street n 1}{City}{Country}
\phone[mobile]{+42~(123)~456~6789}
\email{my#email.com}
\photo[64pt][0pt]{picture}
\begin{document}
\makecvtitle
\import{sections/}{presentation}
\end{document}
and in presentation.tex there is just
\documentclass[class=article, crop=false]{standalone}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\setlength{\parindent}{0.5em}
\setlength{\parskip}{1em}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.2}
\begin{document}
...presentation..
\end{document}
Unfortunately, while the moderncv title looks good, the imported presentation does not have the expected formatting (article + custom parindent, parskip, baselinestretch).
I would also like to point out that in order to compile, I had to revert the TexLive Version to 2016 (Overleaf V1 legacy), otherwise it wouldn't work at all.
I hope somebody can help me, or at least point me towards another direction, maybe supported by latest overleaf engine, to combine two different files with two different preambles. Thanks
I am creating presentation slides using beamer, and on the slides I want to include pieces of code from Agda and Isabelle standard libraries. All I can find online is generating latex from Agda (lagda) or from Isabelle (document preparation). I want to go the other way, as my slides will have code from different systems.
I can still use lstlisting or verbatim, but I would rather not copy-paste and reformat code.
I would prefer to have something like including line numbers from files, or maybe code between tags
Your best bet is to use the catchfilebetweentags package: given two files IsabelleCode.tex and AgdaCode.tex generated by the respective LaTeX backends of each language, you can capture the code between an opening tag %<*TAGNAME> and a closing tag %</TAGNAME> in either file by using the appropriate directive e.g.:
\ExecuteMetaData[IsabelleCode.tex]{TAGNAME}
\ExecuteMetaData[AgdaCode.tex]{TAGNAME}
With \lstinputlisting from the listings package, you can directly include code from the source file. Optionally you can specify the start and end line numbers
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{basicstyle=\ttfamily}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\lstinputlisting[firstline=1,lastline=7,language=C]{duck.C}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\lstinputlisting[firstline=1,lastline=7]{test.agada}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\lstinputlisting[firstline=1,lastline=7]{test.isabelle}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
At least for Agda, you can render individual .lagda modules into LaTeX. If you can do the same with Isabelle's pretty-printer, you should be then able to write toplevel LaTeX by hand, and then import (parts of) the Agda and Isabelle-generated LaTeX where appropriate.
Some years ago I created a Beamer presentation (using only basic features). Unfortunetaly, I've lost the source code but still have the output PDF. Is there a convenient way to extract the original code from the presentation? Simple copy methods does not handle the mathematics well.
No, I don't think it is possible to do that. LaTeX is a typesetting language, in which you say "put a section here, this text here, some formulae here, etc., and use this style file to weight the fonts and spacing" and then compile it to PDF. The PDF document tells the PDF viewer (loosely speaking): "here's the font, place these sets of characters at these places in the document". It has no notion of section/heading/figure/equation/equation number etc.
It would be very hard to do PDF->LaTeX because of the multiple possibilities. i.e., LaTeX->PDF is a many-to-one function, so the inverse operation is going to have ambiguities.
For e.g., here's a test file using two different methods:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
This is a StackOverflow test file.
\section{Method A}
\begin{equation}
ax^2+bx+c=0
\end{equation}
\end{document}
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
This is a StackOverflow test file.\\[0.1in]
\noindent {\Large \textbf{1\quad Method B}}
\begin{center}
$\displaystyle ax^2+bx+c=0$
\end{center}
\vspace{-0.25in}
\hfill{(1)}
\end{document}
You can see that you can't tell the two documents apart. A PDF to LaTeX converter will face the same problems.
That said, some word processing applications (open office?) can interpret PDF documents (usually only if all text) and convert it to a word document, and then you can convert that into LaTeX (usually provided by the same application). This might be one option worth trying. Other than that, there is no software that I know of that will do this for you.
I'm trying to include a simple glossary to my LaTeX document,
I already searched for something like that on google, but never got it running.
I would like to use glossary or glossaries.
how to write it in the text?
how to print it?
what to execute on which position?
Well, there is a glossaries package on CTAN. Read the pdf documentation.
Check if you already have it in your installation, if not install it, and put \usepackage{glossaries} in the preamble of you document and it will be available to you.
It looks like you need \usepackage{glossaries} and \makeglossaries in the preamble, and some number of \newglossaryentry and \newacronym calls (it is not immediately clear to me if these only go in the premble or can go in the document text). Finally, you will need one or more \printglossary calls in the text. Use \gsl to connect glossary entries on the argument with the pages they occur on.
Processing the file will have to include a call to makeglossaries followed by at least one more invokation of latex.
In addition to the samples mentioned in the documentation there is a Stack Overflow question which includes a minimal file making use of glossaries. You may be particularly interested in the acronym glossary.
There is a nice blog for beginners: LaTeX glossary and list of acronyms
Here is an example:
\documentclass{article}
% Load the package
\usepackage{glossaries}
% Generate the glossary
**\makeglossaries**
\begin{document}
%Term definitions
\newglossaryentry{utc}{name=UTC, description={Coordinated Universal Time}}
\newglossaryentry{adt}{name=ADT, description={Atlantic Daylight Time}}
\newglossaryentry{est}{name=EST, description={Eastern Standard Time}}
% Use the terms
\gls{utc} is 3 hours behind \gls{adt} and 10 hours ahead of \gls{est}.
%Print the glossary
\printglossaries
\end{document}
I am currently stuck, having two separate glossaries: main & acronyms. Acronyms glossary prints footnotes on first use in the text, but main glossary does not. Is there any way to make any other glossary than acronyms to print footnote on first use of the term? I don't get how to do it.
Here is the code example compiled with TeXnic Center and MiKTeX 2.7:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{index}
\usepackage[toc,style=long3colheaderborder,footnote,acronym]{glossaries}
\makeindex
\makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{appdomain}{name={application domain}, description={app Domain Description...}}
\newglossaryentry{sample}{name={[has been inserted aaa]},description={testing testing 123}}
\newacronym{aca}{aca}{a contrived acronym}
\begin{document}
\section{this is a test section}
This is the test line... a \gls{sample} \gls{appdomain}
\index{entry} and \gls{aca}
\thispagestyle{empty}\cleardoublepage
\printglossary[type=main,title={Glossary},toctitle={Glossary}]
\thispagestyle{empty}\cleardoublepage
\printglossary[type=\acronymtype,title={List of Abbreviations},toctitle={List of Abbreviations}]
\printindex
\thispagestyle{empty}\cleardoublepage
\end{document}
I want sample and appdomain either contain a footnote with description or a footnote stating: please refer to Glossary
Many thanks,
Ovanes
In short, with the glossaries package, you can't get footnotes on the first use for non-acronym glossaries.
However, you can redefine some commands in the preamble (after you \usepackage{glossaries}) to get what you want:
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\gls#main#displayfirst}[4]{
#1#4\protect\footnote{#2}
}
\makeatother
But that will be really fragile.
I think there is an easier way of doing this. Maybe it's new, but
\defglsdisplayfirst[main]{#1#4\protect\footnote{#2}}
appears to achieve the exact same thing (correct me if I'm wrong). See the glossaries manual, version 2.03, subsection 2.4.1 changing the format of the text.
Unfortunately, it appears commands like \gls or \autoref does not work in those footnotes.
Following is a good technique, to put a footnote stating where the definitions are:
\label{nom} %put this on the page your term appears, so that it can collect page number
\newcommand{\g}{\footnote{For all abbreviations see the glossary on page \pageref{nom}.}}
I've found this from here.
