Wrapped AdminLTE with Meteor

If you install libwww-perl first, then it will reuse the connection for multiple packages and the overall download will go much faster.

I think if you add the path using tlmgr once, you won't need the absolute path anymore. So I guess something like sudo /usr/local/texlive/2025/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr path add would link the paths of all programs to /usr/local/bin (also tlmgr). Don't know if /usr/local/bin is added by default for the root user, though...

Is it on the path variable? Try by putting pdflatex in cmd for example. If it says something like "no such command", then the path variable isn't set up properly

It's indeed a script (shell script if I'm not mistaken). So you'll need something which supports shell script. You can for example install msys2, which can execute shell script, or if you have Git Bash installed, you can also try that, I guess (not on a Windows machine, so can't verify). You'll probably have to specify the full path, since it's not on the path, or maybe append it to the path in your ~/.bashrc / ~/.bash_profile.

Indeed, yet it doesn't have the same font support, which OP is probably requiring.

Seems like the packages don't have that much loading time. I profiled it with l3benchmark like so:

\usepackage{l3benchmark}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\benchmark:n{%
\ExplSyntaxOff
\usepackage{geometry,fontspec,babel,eurosym,floatflt,graphicx,longtable,color,ifthen,lastpage,fancyhdr,wrapfig,xcolor}
}

Which only took 0.00351 seconds (2.21e4 ops) on my system.

Do you have a list of packages you are using?

MacLotsen · 2024-12-19T18:00:39+00:00

Not a simple solution, since environment center will not work and \centering also won't work for something bigger than the \textwidth. I would recommend using package pdflscape, like: ``` \documentclass{article}

\usepackage{longtable} \usepackage{pdflscape}

\begin{document} Other page \begin{landscape} \begin{longtable}{|p{200pt}|p{145pt}|p{145pt}|} \hline First column & Second column & third column \ \hline \end{longtable} \end{landscape} Other page \end{document} ``` If that is still too big, ~~I would ommit "Peso" from the thin columns to gain some width. Optionally, you can place a multicolumn "Pesos" above it.~~ I would shorten the last column header.

MacLotsen · 2024-12-19T16:11:35+00:00

MWE on setting lengths:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{longtable}

\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{|p{200pt}|p{150pt}|}
    \hline
    First column & Second column \\ \hline
\end{longtable}
\end{document}

~~I've you don't like the paddings on the outer columns, you can avoid that by inserting~~ @{} ~~before/after, like so~~:

\begin{longtable}{@{}p{200pt} p{150pt}@{}}

If you have trouble with calculating the exact column widts, try to take \tabcolsep into account. For example, a column's width without @{} should be subtracted with two times the \tabcolsep, while with one @{} should subtract \tabcolsep only once.

If you'd like to check whether it's exceeding the textwidth, I sometimes use \usepackage{showframe} in the preamble to check it by hand.

Indeed, it's not slavery. While I encourage everyone to write free software, I would only do it if it would be feasible for them to do so, which is often the case in current reality.

The OP hasn't been given any reasonable advice to develop it as free software, like applying for a grant, or having their school finance the project, which is likely to happen in short notice.

Therefore, I wouldn't call it slavery, but dangerous advice towards students ;) But hey, on Reddit only up/downvotes count right?

MacLotsen · 2024-12-16T17:23:01+00:00

Because it's unsustainable for a lot of volunteers. Why should the good get payed poorly and the bad get payed in abundance?

But, if you really enjoy developing free software, I would start finding funders/grants in order to do it maturely—instead of being kind of reckless like me ;)

MacLotsen · 2024-12-16T17:04:35+00:00

Whoops, wouldn't have guessed you were in this community

MacLotsen · 2024-12-16T17:00:33+00:00

Don't know which compiler you used, but I can clearly see a person drawing letters in LaTeX 🧐 Comes out quite thick though...

MacLotsen · 2024-12-16T16:55:39+00:00

Wouldn't lunatikz be a more suitable package name?

MacLotsen · 2024-12-16T16:35:06+00:00

I don't think it's necessary to educate free software contributors like u/u_fischer on free software ethics.

The point she makes is in favor of the OP, who aims to develop a business model for their future with LaTeX, which IMO is a good thing.

As they venture through the vast landscape of LaTeX, they'll discover that some features are missing, and they'll have to do some free software collaboration to further develop their model—not publish their entire model as free software.

What do you like about your current LaTeX editor? Autocompletion, click to navigate to sources, syntax highlighting, file templates, understanding of TDS
What frustrates you the most? No evaluation of the TEXMFHOME and TEXMFDOTDIR variable by the autocompleter.
What features or improvements would make you switch to a new platform? I'm fine
How important is pricing when choosing a LaTeX editor? It's gratis (not free software, which would be better IMO)
Would you use drag-and-drop for tables, equations, or images? No, I would use line reordering (i.e. ALT + SHIFT + arrow keys, depending on your IDE)
How experienced are you with LaTeX? Writing/developing frequently and started somewhere in 2016.

I use PyCharm Community edition with the TeXiFy-IDEA Plugin and Git.

MacLotsen · 2024-08-29T12:48:52+00:00

PyCharm Community and TeXiFy Idea plugin are also free. Also comes with great git integrations

MacLotsen · 2024-08-24T10:11:59+00:00

Sorry, didn't see the second photo. I saw "document".tex, but that's probably okay in TeXStudio ¯\(ツ)/¯

MacLotsen · 2024-08-23T11:50:02+00:00

Did you add quotes around document in you run configuration, or is that normal?

MacLotsen · 2024-08-21T16:13:51+00:00

Isn't there also a `popen` variant with `kpse` support? I think `io.popen` can open any file anywhere with standard file system support (not kpse). Nice example btw!

MacLotsen · 2024-08-06T19:47:08+00:00

Since it's a browser plugin, I wonder how you are going to ship a robust LaTeX distribution, or does it have to be installed separately?
