I am using the LaTeX beamer package. How do I draw a border around each slide when I use the handout format (eg. {4 on 1}). I would like to have something silmilar to the "-d" option available in Unix "psnup" which I used with my old seminar style slides and PostScript output.
This adds a rectangle around each logical page:
\usepackage{pgfpages}
\pgfpagesuselayout{4 on 1}[a4paper, landscape, border shrink=5mm]
\pgfpageslogicalpageoptions{1}{border code=\pgfusepath{stroke}}
\pgfpageslogicalpageoptions{2}{border code=\pgfusepath{stroke}}
\pgfpageslogicalpageoptions{3}{border code=\pgfusepath{stroke}}
\pgfpageslogicalpageoptions{4}{border code=\pgfusepath{stroke}}

I’ve been trying for the days now to format attractive code listings in lyx for an Erlang programming book that I’m working on.
The tcolorbox package looks like it should do the trick, but frustrates me at every turn,
Requirements:
Shaded Box with rounded corners, white header text on black, black outline, black on white body text
Head centered and of the form “Listing CN.LN comment” where CN is chapter number and LN is listing number and comment is in italics.
I can do this with a LaTeX macro, but can’t make it work in the head of a shaded box.
Code listing in the body must be mono space font with bold face highlighting.
I’ve read the tcolorbox manual, but still don’t understand how it works in lyx.
Can some kind souls please help dispel my ignorance?

I'm not sure about all the details of your requirements (could you post the LaTeX that works?) Try the following to get you started (I'm using LyX 2.2.x):
Document > Settings > Modules > Fancy Colored Boxes > Add > Apply
Insert > Custom Insets > Color Box
Inside the Color Box inset, you can find Color Box Options (right-click, or ALT-A 1 in Windows). Those options look similar to the syntax of tcolorbox, e.g.:
title=An enhanced box with a color gradient, enhanced, frame style={left color=red!75!black, right color=blue!75!black}, interior style={left color=red!20!white, right color=yellow!50!white}
Finally, there's an Example (in the LyX Resources/Examples folder) called colored-boxes.lyx that has a lot of info.
I have a series of markdown files that I am turning into slides using Pandoc and the Beamer template. I am creating my own custom Beamer template in order to format those slides.
pandoc --slide-level 2 -fmarkdown-implicit_figures -t beamer --template mytemplate.beamer -o test.pdf *.md
I am struggling with making certain elements look the way I would like them to.
My simplified markdown looks like this:
## Header
Normal Body Text
Specifically, my images are coming out left justified. I can't figure out how to get them to center. If I remove the -fmarkdown-implicit_figures option, then the images are properly centered, but includes captions that I don't want. Adding that flag eliminates the captions but also eliminates the centering.
At the same time, I want the normal body text to be centered as well. So in the above example I would like the text Normal Body Text to be centered. Again, I can't figure out how to do that. I have managed to center other elements (such as the header), but I can't find an appropriate name for the element that represents normal body text.
Can anyone offer a solution to either of these issues?
I found a way to center the images. It may not be the best option, but this seems to work:
\usepackage{letltxmacro}
% Save the meaning of \includegraphics
\LetLtxMacro\latexincludegraphics\includegraphics
% Update the include graphics command to include centering
\renewcommand{\includegraphics}[2][]{%
\centering
\latexincludegraphics[#1]{#2}}
To ensure the normal text was centered, I used the following, again I am unsure if this is the best way:
% Center Text By Default
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\centering
Bokeh does not handle Latex. A solution has been proposed: http://docs.bokeh.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/extensions_gallery/latex.html#userguide-extensions-examples-latex
This is great for adding Latex on top of the canvas. Is there an easy way to use this strategy so we can use Latex in the axis labels?
Bokeh 2.4 adds support for LaTeX (and MathML) to some elements in Bokeh. Currently, you can use LaTeX on axis labels, tick labels, div widgets, and paragraph widgets. LaTeX support for more elements should be added soon. For more information about the new math text feature and how to use them, see the Bokeh 2.4 release blogpost, the new blackbody radiation example, and the Bokeh user guide!
So I am using the flashcard software Anki which uses LaTex for its math equation formatting
So when I write an equation with a fraction in the same line as standard text, it automatically allignts the lowest point of the equation, in the case the denomitor of the fraction, with the bottom the normal text. How can I get the equation and text to be horizontally aligned.
Some text before an equation: [$]\frac{x^2}{y}[/$]
What I did was to make the equation itself a bit smaller to better match the text around it.
To add it for all equations go to: Tools > Manage Note Types > Options > Header
Or you could place it inline: [$]\tiny[/$]
An excellent writeup on sizing text this way can be found at tex.stackexchange
And you may be able to get better results by changing the font itself.
As the LaTeX snippets are finally rendered as images, this is a CSS issue. The equations become centered when you add the following rule to your card CSS:
img[src*="latex"] {
vertical-align: middle;
}
This CSS rule matches all images whose file name contains the string latex and centers them in their respective line of text. It thus matches all anki-generated latex images.
If needed, I can supply info on how to edit the card CSS or on how to make Anki and Latex work together.
Hi I'm using LateX. I have a block of text that I'd like to have a small box like space highlighting the are (just like a \begin{equation} but for text).
Is there such a thing in LateX?
I'm not 100% sure what you're asking I'm afraid, but if you just want to indent text with a margin on each side of the page to make it stand out, you can use...
\begin{quotation}
Quotation is good for long blocks of text that you want highlighted
\end{quotation}
\begin{quote}
Quote is suited to a single block of quoted text.
\end{quote}
If you actually want to have a physical black box around the text, you might want to consider wrapping it in a tabular / table, or you might want to delve into minipages and/or par box environments...
Is \makebox what you're looking for?
To create boxes of text that behave differently from the rest of the text, we can use
\makebox[width][pos]{text}
The width sets the width the of the box. The pos sets the positioning of the text - either r (right justified text), l (left justified), or s (stretched to fill the box). If the pos parameter is left out, as in \makebox[1in]{centerme}, the text is centered. The text is placed in the box. If you want to draw a box around the text, use \framebox just as you would use \makebox.
\mbox{text} and \fbox{text} are quick versions of \makebox and \framebox, which create a box to fit the size of the text.
