I need one more numbered level for my report. I used \paragraph{title} but it only appears without numbering.
In the config file, the paragraph is described as:
\titleformat{\paragraph}[runin]
{\normalfont\normalsize}{\theparagraph}{0pt}{\spacedlowsmallcaps}
I believe that the command \theparagraph is responsible for the numbering. Why doesn't it appear?
I searched the net for answers and tried the following commands (at once) before the beginning of the document:
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{\paragraphnumdepth}
Replace the previous command to get rid of run-in with:
\titleformat{\paragraph}
{\relax}{\textsc{\MakeTextLowercase{\theparagraph}}}{1em}{\normalsize\itshape}
\renewcommand{\theparagraph}{\thesubsection.\arabic{paragraph}}
I put the last two commands in \makeatletter and \makeatother.
The paragraph name appears like the section names now, but still no numbers. Any ideas? Here is a small example that works because I didn't include the classicthesis config files.
\documentclass{scrreprt}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{\paragraphnumdepth}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Chapitre}
\section{Introduction}
\subsection{Première sous-partie}
\subsubsection{Un cran en dessous}
\paragraph{Paragraphe with number: what I would like in my report}
Functional here because the problem clearly comes from the two classicthesis config files...
\end{document}
Thank you
I am writing a document in spanish, and I'm trying to add 'í' to the word
Montréal.However if I put the i like this: \'{e} in the code below, I just get a space instead of the é. Why is this not working?
\begin{tabbing}%
\hspace{2.3in}\= \hspace{2.6in}\= \kill % set up two tab positions
{\bf Engineer}\> Panagro S.A.\> Summers 2004-2010\\
\>Montréal, Colombia
\end{tabbing}\vspace{-15pt}
Also I might add that when I try putting Montréal outside of the tabbing block, it works fine.

Tabbing environment
Some of the accent marks used in running text have other uses in the tabbing environment. In that case they can be created with the following command:
\a' for an acute accent
\a` for a grave accent
\a= for a macron accent
source: LaTeX/Accents at Wikibooks
Related question on tex.stackexchange with a great solution to accented characters.
Save your file as UTF-8 and put
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
in your preamble.
Then you can just type the characters normally into your source file.
Or, use XeLaTeX which accepts UTF-8 input natively. In that case you need to add
\usepackage{fontspec}
to your preamble.
If your text editor doesn't support UTF-8 encoded files, you should probably get another editor. But if you're stuck with one, you can also use:
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} % for PCs
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc} % for Macs
and save the files in the default encoding for your machine.
Thanks to Alan Munn for the solution!
I'm trying to change the appearance of one of the native sectioning commands in LaTeX. But after doing so, latex cannot handle references as expected.
The code given later is expected to output a document with the text
1 One
See section 2.
2 Two
See section 1.
But instead I get the following.
1 One
See section .
2 Two
See section .
What can I change in the renewed command, such that the references will work again.
The code for the document is as follows:
\documentclass{article}
\newcounter{seccnt}
\renewcommand{\section}[1]{\vspace{2em}\stepcounter{seccnt} \theseccnt~ {\Large #1}\vspace{0.5em}}
\begin{document}
\section{One}
\label{secOne}
See section \ref{secTwo}.
\section{Two}
\label{secTwo}
See section \ref{secOne}.
\end{document}
I think you need to use \refstepcounter instead of \stepcounter, so that the reference is stored.
How do I insert code into a LaTeX document? Is there something like:
\begin{code}## Heading ##
...
\end{code}
The only thing that I really need is indentation and a fixed width font. Syntax highlighting could be nice although it is definitely not required.
Use listings package.
Simple configuration for LaTeX header (before \begin{document}):
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{dkgreen}{rgb}{0,0.6,0}
\definecolor{gray}{rgb}{0.5,0.5,0.5}
\definecolor{mauve}{rgb}{0.58,0,0.82}
\lstset{frame=tb,
language=Java,
aboveskip=3mm,
belowskip=3mm,
showstringspaces=false,
columns=flexible,
basicstyle={\small\ttfamily},
numbers=none,
numberstyle=\tiny\color{gray},
keywordstyle=\color{blue},
commentstyle=\color{dkgreen},
stringstyle=\color{mauve},
breaklines=true,
breakatwhitespace=true,
tabsize=3
}
You can change default language in the middle of document with \lstset{language=Java}.
Example of usage in the document:
\begin{lstlisting}
// Hello.java
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class Hello extends JApplet {
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
g.drawString("Hello, world!", 65, 95);
}
}
\end{lstlisting}
Here's the result:
You could also use the verbatim environment
\begin{verbatim}
your
code
example
\end{verbatim}
Here is how to add inline code:
You can add inline code with {\tt code } or \texttt{ code }. If you want to format the inline code, then it would be best to make your own command
\newcommand{\code}[1]{\texttt{#1}}
Also, note that code blocks can be loaded from other files with
\lstinputlisting[breaklines]{source.c}
breaklines isn't required, but I find it useful. Be aware that you'll have to specify \usepackage{ listings } for this one.
Update: The listings package also includes the \lstinline command, which has the same syntax highlighting features as the \lstlisting and \lstinputlisting commands (see Cloudanger's answer for configuration details). As mentioned in a few other answers, there's also the minted package, which provides the \mintinline command. Like \lstinline, \mintinline provides the same syntax highlighting as a regular minted code block:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{minted}
\begin{document}
This is a sentence with \mintinline{python}{def inlineCode(a="ipsum)}
\end{document}
Specialized packages such as minted, which relies on Pygments to do the formatting, offer various advantages over the listings package. To quote from the minted manual,
Pygments provides far superior syntax highlighting compared to conventional packages. For example, listings basically only highlights strings, comments and keywords. Pygments, on the other hand, can be completely customized to highlight any token kind the source language might support. This might include special formatting sequences inside strings, numbers, different kinds of identifiers and exotic constructs such as HTML tags.
Minted, whether from GitHub or CTAN, the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network, works in Overleaf, TeX Live and MiKTeX.
It requires the installation of the Python package Pygments; this is explained in the documentation in either source above. Although Pygments brands itself as a Python syntax highlighter, Minted guarantees the coverage of hundreds of other languages.
Example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{minted}
\begin{document}
\begin{minted}[mathescape, linenos]{python}
# Note: $\pi=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{P_n}{d}$
title = "Hello World"
sum = 0
for i in range(10):
sum += i
\end{minted}
\end{document}
Output:
Use Minted.
It's a package that facilitates expressive syntax highlighting in LaTeX using the powerful Pygments library. The package also provides options to customize the highlighted source code output using fancyvrb.
It's much more evolved and customizable than any other package!
A very simple way if your code is in Python, where I didn't have to install a Python package, is the following:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{pythonhighlight}
\begin{document}
The following is some Python code
\begin{python}
# A comment
x = [5, 7, 10]
y = 0
for num in x:
y += num
print(y)
\end{python}
\end{document}
which looks like:
Unfortunately, this only works for Python.
Since it wasn't yet mentioned here, it may be worth to add one more option, package spverbatim (no syntax highlighting):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{spverbatim}
\begin{document}
\begin{spverbatim}
Your code here
\end{spverbatim}
\end{document}
Also, if syntax highlighting is not required, package alltt:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{alltt}
\begin{document}
\begin{alltt}
Your code here
\end{alltt}
\end{document}
Use Pygments !
Instead of making a macro for each letter, as in
\def\bA{\mathbf{A}}
...
\def\bZ{\mathbf{Z}}
Is there a way to loop over a character class (like capital letters) and generate macros for each? I'd also like to do the same for Greek letters (using bm instead of mathbf).
\def\mydefb#1{\expandafter\def\csname b#1\endcsname{\mathbf{#1}}}
\def\mydefallb#1{\ifx#1\mydefallb\else\mydefb#1\expandafter\mydefallb\fi}
\mydefallb ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ\mydefallb
New for Greek
\def\mydefgreek#1{\expandafter\def\csname b#1\endcsname{\text{\boldmath$\mathbf{\csname #1\endcsname}$}}}
\def\mydefallgreek#1{\ifx\mydefallgreek#1\else\mydefgreek{#1}%
\lowercase{\mydefgreek{#1}}\expandafter\mydefallgreek\fi}
\mydefallgreek {beta}{Gamma}{Delta}{epsilon}{etaex}{Theta}{Iota}{Lambda}{kappa}{mu}{nu}{Xi}{Pi}{rho}\mydefallgreek
$\bGamma\bDelta \bTheta \bLambda \bXi \bPi $
$\bbeta \bgamma\bdelta \bepsilon \betaex \btheta \biota \blambda \bkappa \bmu \bnu \bxi \bpi \brho$
Expanding on Andrew's answer, here is a solution without \expandafter:
\makeatletter
\#tempcnta=\#ne
\def\#nameedef#1{\expandafter\edef\csname #1\endcsname}
\loop\ifnum\#tempcnta<27
\#nameedef{b\#Alph\#tempcnta}{\noexpand\mathbb{\#Alph\#tempcnta}}
\advance\#tempcnta\#ne
\repeat
This will define \bA, \bB, and so on, to expand to \mathbb{A}, \mathbb{B}, and so on.
Wouldn't be better to define one command
\newcommand\bm[1]{\ensuremath{${\boldmath$#1$}}$}
and it can be used both in text mode and math mode.
Usage:
\[\bm{F(x)}=\int\bm\delta(x)\ dx]
\where \mb F is blah blah blah and \bm \delta is halb halb halb...
Result:
F(x)='inegral delta(x)'dx
Where F is blah blah blah and 'delta' is halb halb halb...
Outer dollars are there to leave math (roman) mode because \boldmath command has no effect in math mode. Inner ones switch back to math (bold). Additional braces (${\boldmath) ensures that \boldmath command will work only with #1
Another advantage of this code is testing new commands for existence of \bb and \bg. So you can't crash LaTeX makros easily.
I hope this is what you're looking for.
I would recommend doing:
\newcommand{\b}[1]{\mathbf{#1}}
as Crowley says, and similar for all the other alphabets. However, if you really want to do it using LaTeX code, here's one that seems to work:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\newcounter{char}
\setcounter{char}{1}
\loop\ifnum\value{char}<27
\edef\c{\Alph{char}}
\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\def\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\csname\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter b\expandafter\c\expandafter\endcsname\expandafter{\expandafter\mathbb\expandafter{\c}}
\addtocounter{char}{1}
\repeat
\begin{document}
\(\bZ\)
\end{document}
I lost count of how many 'expandafter's there are in that! To get lowercase letters, replace the Alph by alph.
