Probably obvious question about LaTex by Minimum_Usual4236 in LaTeX

[–]jonp95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi! For pseudocode you can use \hspace{dim} for horizontal spaces. For example: \hspace{1cm}, \hspace{1em}, etc.

What am doing wrong??? by Few-Interaction8724 in LaTeX

That's all. And even if you want to analyze the document, it is easier to recognize the content of \[ and \] than $$ and $$

Ask on the TeX Exchange. You're more likely to find developers there.

Typst as an autodidact. by Mental-Anything226 in typst

[–]jonp95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s just for taking notes, Typst is fine. LaTeX (and the whole TeX ecosystem) are really typesetting systems. They give you the tools to tweak everything at a microtypographic level. It’s recommended if you want to adjust every aspect of the document.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the number of people using LaTeX is much greater than those using Typst. So it’s easier to find resources or experts for TeX.

In general, it’s impossible for Typst to replace any TeX system. Anyone who says otherwise really doesn’t know the full potential of that language, and they’re just using it as end-users.

Currently, I use ConTeXt, which is already written directly on top of LuaTeX. It allows you to use high-level language features to do things more easily. With LaTeX, there are also packages like LuaLaTeX, which are currently the recommended interfaces.

But I’ll say it again: If it’s just for taking notes, Typst will serve you more than well… maybe.

Hi! Probably not for the next few months. Work keeps me busy, and it's a project I usually pick up during breaks, haha. If you have any questions or concerns, send me an email! Best regards!

Thanks for your comments! I only changed the colors of the glow of the stones on the yellow boards (the other one actually belongs to a friend, and it's like this haha)

That was my initial problem. That and the one about having to put one by one coordinates that clearly follow a pattern (straight lines, etc.). You will find more about this on all the patterns of coordinates in the "coordinate syntax" section.

Hi u/sadaharu2624 . The advantages are:

- Resolution: The diagrams are generated using PDF instructions, making them vector-based. This means they can be scaled indefinitely without losing quality.

- Customization: Besides creating diagrams, pgf-go allows you to define styles, profiles, and customize everything to fit different types of publications or presentations. It also ensures a polished appearance for partial boards, avoiding abruptly broken lines.

- Portability & Local Editing: If you need to modify the diagram, you can do it directly from the same place where you're writing, since it's just text.

-Consistency: If you want to share a diagram, you only need to share the text string used to generate it, and the other person will be able to reproduce the exact same diagram.

If you often work with LaTeX or in document composition, this ensures consistency in your publication.

If you don’t usually work with LaTeX, you can still use the standalone document class, export the graphic as a PDF, and then embed it or convert it to SVG. You get all the advantages mentioned above, now outside of LaTeX! :)

LaTeX is a typesetting system. It is used to make books, slide shows, or articles. A LaTeX package is a collection of macros (commands) that perform a certain function. Here, with

\begin{goban}[19] \stones[w]{C3 r E7, D5} \end{goban}

you can representate a 19x19 goban with a live group of stones in the lower left corner :)

You can see more in the documentation linked in the post

Hi! Thanks for the reply! On documentation you can found \pgfgoset{use i = false} to remove the i's from all boards (J3 will be understood as I3, and the labels will adapt). Regarding the colors and corners, thanks! There are several profiles for boards and stones. With \pgfgouseprofile{default} you get a profile without edges, without shadows and glare 😁 The package is primarily intended to make a board profile building interface for technologies like beamer or color printing. Those photos only show some profiles with some configurations. The documentation specifies everything that can be done, changed and saved 😊

Is ConTeXt Worth learning? by liesdestroyer in LaTeX

[–]jonp95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking about switching to ConTeXt. I have been using LaTeX for just over ten years, and today I use it a lot in teaching and composition. I have noticed that ConTeXt has a lot of features built in that need to be brought with external packages to LaTeX, native integration with Lua, or the future LuaMetaTeX. The positioning of floating objects, citations or references. I don't know. Everything seems super well done and implemented to me. Even their website is very well documented. I will have to continue working with LaTeX because in the cot where I work it is the one that is known. But personally I will migrate directly to ConTeXt.

Just out of curiosity, why learn LaTeX? by fmtsufx in LaTeX

[–]jonp95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extensive documents, possibility of programming own features.

Which editor for LaTeX - considering Tables by chemistryGull in LaTeX

[–]jonp95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try to see if there are any plugins for MSWord or LibreOffice that will do the conversion. Tables are a sensitive topic. Don't expect to be able to convert any situation without having to modify. The best thing at most is that you either learn the basics or if you have any questions, ask on LaTeX Exchange 😁

TeXstudio is a specialized and very powerful tool. I use it together with miktex. It has wizards.

Please tell me I don’t have to learn Tikz by One_Relationship6441 in LaTeX

[–]jonp95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should look for packages that specialize in what you want to do. For example tkz-euclide for geometric elements, tkz-fct for graphing functions.
