I would like to create a LaTeX resume with Overleaf as I will be trying to land a Senior position after 3 years of previous experience within IT. I have some experience with LaTeX, but I'm struggling with finding a good template that would allow me to showcase at least 4/5 worthwhile projects that I was a part of with 3/4 bullet points as to what I've done and improved in each project.

I've seen the most popular recommendation being jakegut/resume github project, but I feel like this is too bland.

The best template that I was able to find was this one

Anyone has any other suggestions/recommendations?

I want to write this chemical formula properly but because it has points so it looks weird, only number on the left of points go down while the rest not. I tried to separate and put numbers in {} and [] But doesn't work

Hi! I'm new to LaTeX and trying to transcribe some linear algebra notes on overleaf, I've had some problems trying to get this working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My university has a template for thesis in overleaf and it works so fine and smooth in overleaf, I downloaded the zip file to use in vs code but it doesn't works and it's so buggy. I don't why

Anyone know how to solve this

Hello, I’m an engineering student using neovim + latex for all my written work inspired by the late Gilles Castelle who has made some great blogposts showcasing his workflow.

I have gotten almost everything up and running and tweaked to a degree I’m satisfied with here by the end of my 1st semester. However i feel like my current workflow lacks one final element. A Computer Algebra System (CAS) like MathCad or Maple.

I’ve previously used mathcad but as I’m working on macOS it is quite a hassle as I have to run it through a virtual machine. I’ve recently also tried using sage which I find to fit the workflow a bit better, but it still has its shortcomings as I have to write everything in latex and then rewrite all the equations I want to calculate in sage and transfer the result into my latex-document which has proven to be quite error-prone as it is rather easy to mistype something when copying back and forth.

Therefore I’ve been wondering about writing some type of software that is able to parse a given latex equation calculate a result with some backend that already exists (probably python or sage) and then input the result into my latex document — on top of this it also need to keep track of the units used and give the correct unit for the outputted result, which is rather cumbersome to get working using something like sagetex. I’ve very little coding experience and therefore I do not know if this is at all feasible?

Also if any of you know about some other package that perhaps integrates this more smoothly than sagetex I’d love to hear about it.

Also I’m quite unsure if this would fit better in the python subreddit please let me know if you think so.

I am working on my thesis to complete my Electrical Engineering course, and I found a template online to use as a model. However, on Overleaf, there is a dedicated .tex file for tables to generate the summary and comply with ABNT rules (which define how academic articles must be written). Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to make it work.

I’ve already tried using \ref, \include, and \cite, but I don’t know the correct way to reference a specific table from another .tex file.

Hi. During Christmas cleanup I found this book, from '96, lying around. I've been meaning to start learning LaTeX for a bit and would like to know if books from that time are still relevant or if I should stick to other, newer sources?

I needed to wrap a listing around my minted code snippets to enable captioning. However, my LaTeX code was becoming repetitive, so I tried creating a simple macro to simplify the process. Unfortunately, when I used the macro, the compiled code produced a FancyVerb Error.

If it makes any difference I have tried compiling on both overleaf and on my local tex editor. Thank you for the help.

\usepackage{minted}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{cleveref}

\newcommand{\codesnippet}[4]{
  \begin{listing}[h]
    \begin{minted}{#1}
#2
    \end{minted}
    \caption{#3}
    \label{#4}
  \end{listing}
}

\begin{document}

\codesnippet{python}{
print("Hello, World!")
}{A simple Python program}{code:hello}

\end{document}

Hi everyone, I'm a pretty green latex user, and I'm having trouble making an edit.

I used a template for a paper I'm writing, and one of the edits I need to make involves adding the word CHAPTER above my chapter and subsection list like in this image:

My toc is generated in a .cls file that I didn't write. I can share the file if it would be helpful, but I don't think there's any way to insert text in between specific lines like that, and I'd rather not completely rewrite the code for the table of contents if it can be helped.

I've tried using both \addtocontents and \addcontentsline with no success, as it just superimposes text on top of the first line of the table of contents which I don't want.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can best inject this line into my TOC, because I've legitimately run out of ideas.

This is not a comment on AI/LLMs in general, and whether they're good or bad.

I was getting tired of TeX because I can't remember all those packages and their syntax. I found that vanilla Copilot from Skype will be able to give a correct suggestion maybe 80% of the time, and when it is not, I go back to the old Google/SE method.

Maybe some here will find this info useful.

Hello ! I'd like to preface this by saying that I am fairly new to latex, so I apologise if this is a stupid question.

I'm trying to customise my headings so that odd pages show (a) page number on the left hand side and (b) Part title on the right hand side, while the even pages show (a) page number on the right and (b) section title on the left.

right now my headings show the section title on both even and odd pages and the "code" I'm using is:

\fancyhead[RE]{\thepage}

\fancyhead[LE]{\nouppercase{\leftmark}}

\fancyhead[LO]{\thepage}

\fancyhead[RO]{\nouppercase{\leftmark}}

How can I change this so that \fancyhead[RO] shows parts istead of sections? I've been trying to figure it out using copilot but everything it suggests ends up showing subsection titles, which is basically the opposite of what I'm trying to do.

Thank you so much !

The math font is clearly CMU Serif, but I can’t quite place the text font. The italics remind me of Baskerville (note not Librebaskerville or Baskervald), but I’m not sure.

Saludos, por favor alguien tiene algún libro, o página web de LaTeX avanzado.

Hello,

Sorry if I bother your timeline here.

It is been a while since PPResume's last update, recently I've updated the project with an important feature, making it the only no vendor lock-in resume builder on the market.

That being said, PPResume provides the complete LaTeX source code for every resume created on the platform so users can always re-create the resume PDF at any time, at device.

An live demo.

Some previews:

More docs:

• Blog: https://blog.ppresume.com/posts/introducing-ppresume
• Docs: https://docs.ppresume.com/content/output-format

Things that sit at our first principle:

"Our commitment to no vendor lock-in is not just about providing source code—it’s about our respect for users’ freedom over their own data and privacy: your resume should truly be yours, not tied to any single platform or service, you have the right to dislike us, get your data back, keep it in your own pocket forever."

Next things:

• import from linkedin
• more advanced PDF customization features like section reordering, section alias, etc.
• more templates
• an interactive playground to lower the barrier for users to try out PPResume
• open source PPResume's typesetting engine

Thank you, any feedbacks would be highly appreciated!

I'm trying to manipulate a PDF and want to use pdfjam. I've installed the "full" TeX Live on Windows. I can run, for example, pdfcrop in command prompt, but i cannot run pdfjam (or pdfpages). It just says it's not the name of a command. My best guess is because it's located in texlive\2024\texmf-dist\scripts and not in texlive\2024\bin\windows, but I'm not really sure. The pdfjam github page suggests installing TeX Live is all I need to do. My googling isn't helping. Can anyone help?

Hello! How can I set up my questions like this? I am writing up a quiz.

I have put my bibliographies in a separate .bib file, when I compile my code it doesn't recognize my citations and doesn't add it. Also the same with acrynoms.tex file, I included it as \input{acrynom.tex}

Ngl I'm really at my wits end here. I'm relatively new to local latex. A few months ago I used texstudio with miktex and it took a long time to figure out how to use it but it eventually started working. Don't really know why the problems I had got fixed but oh well.

I stopped using texstudio for a couple months to use overleaf for the ease of collaboration since I had quite a few group projects, and now I want to go back to local for an individual project, especially since I'll have limited internet access for a bit. When I started up texstudio it had a very strange error about not starting the command (see pic). Nothing I did would fix it - redownloading texstudio, deleting the .ini, manually changing the commands in the configuration menu (tbf, I may have changed them to the wrong thing).

After way too much trying, I finally gave up and downloaded texmaker, and it immediately threw the error in the pic. Does anyone have any idea what could be going wrong?

Over-leaf is hitting me with the error "Your project exceeded the compile timeout limit on our free plan." since I can't pay for the subscription, how could I migrate to a free compiler like "TeXstudio" or any other thing you recommend, without facing issues of installing packages. I tried compiling in Tex but it keeps telling me some packages are missing and don't know how to add them.

Hi! I was curious if anyone can identify this font? I love the subtle pointiness of the 0's

What are some good PDF to LaTeX conversion programs that can be downloaded so the conversion doesn’t have to be done online? I can pay for the software.

Hi everyone,

I started using LaTeX recently. I’ve been thinking about the difference between intended paragraphs and spaced paragraphs, and I’m unsure which is better to use in general.

Some questions I have:

• What are the practical or aesthetic reasons for choosing one over the other?

• Do different contexts (e.g., academic papers, novels, blogs, etc.) favor one style?

• Is one more readable than the other?

I’m curious about your preferences!

Edit: Thank you for all the answers
