Using KOMA script while retaining control of page geometry 2

koma

nsajko nsajko

9 As per samcarter's comment, this is caused by the `article` class having a different value for footskip than `scrartcl`.

Can I add a page break penalty that varries by context? 5

2 I didn't test this, so I'm entirely unsure whether it does what it should in your context.

Variable page break penalty for odd/even pages? 5

koma

1 You can try to use the command `\ifthispageodd{<true part>}{<false part>}`, which is part of KOMA-Script. It uses a label in the .aux file and therefore needs at least two LaTeX passes to function. In your case it could look like:

The same to you!

AdelheidBausB

@samcarter :-D :-D yeah, that will always work... ;-) made my day

samcarter replying to AdelheidBausB

Sure! Pop one of middle tiles off, use a screwdriver to loosen the screw, disassemble the pieces, reassemble them in the desired configuration, fasten the screw, put the middle tile back on. Easy!

AdelheidBausB

@samcarter I guess you know how to solve it?

samcarter replying to AdelheidBausB

I already added it to my packing list :P

AdelheidBausB

@samcarter: I think it'll be a lot of fun - and I hope a lot are bringing some cubes with 'em... something different this time, not just sitting and listening ;-)

samcarter replying to AdelheidBausB

I'm very much looking forward to learn all about colourful little cubes next month :)

Skillmon replying to AdelheidBausB

Welcome from me as well! Have a nice stay :)

AdelheidBausB

@samcarter thanks :)

CarLaTeX replying to samcarter

Indeed

samcarter replying to CarLaTeX

I think the new tabularry tikz library will replace most of the cases, in which I previously used nicematrix (nothing against nicematrix, but if tabularray now also can do this ...)

CarLaTeX replying to samcarter

I think it could be useful, I saw many question on TeX.SE that could be solved with it

CarLaTeX replying to samcarter

Great library!

samcarter replying to CarLaTeX

It also comes with the new TikZ library.   
  
I hope it is now fast enough to convince the pandoc maintainers to add it as an option.

CarLaTeX

Faster version of `tabularray` now available!

Skillmon replying to mirabilos

the term you're looking for is hanging indent. The LaTeX kernel has a command for this, it's called `\@hangfrom`.

Happy new year! :)

@@@ question 8103

mirabilos

ok

samcarter replying to mirabilos

It would be easier to understand what you are looking for if you would ask a proper question including a small test document and a sketch how the result should look like.

mirabilos

(ok, that’s the font’s fault)

mirabilos

grmbl, ‣ (U+2023) is way too small…

mirabilos

oh and it’s actually `\subsubsection*` though I’m going to ask it to put a leading ‣ there as next step… (this is for a CV so it’s not numbered)

mirabilos

lualatex, article, titlesec is already loaded, if that helps

mirabilos

if not, measuring the distance and hardcoding it would also do

mirabilos

I don’t know how to express this / make it into search terms

mirabilos

or, actually, what I’d really want is:  
  
    \subsubsection{2010–2020: foo, bar, baz, …, bla}  
  
And the horizontal position of the f in foo should be the indent of the second line.

mirabilos

can latex do something like tabstops for subsubsection titles that span two lines?

निरंजन replying to samcarter

Since it's by @cfr, it has to be amazing and just a brief look at the documentation suggests the same.

samcarter replying to निरंजन

A timeline of timeline-packages is calling!

Will give it a try some day.

Skillmon replying to निरंजन

You only live in insert mode in Emacs. You're just on a little creek and miss out on the river with all its arms that's multi-modal editing.

निरंजन replying to Skillmon

You want to pollute the sacred river of GNU Emacs with the pollutants of Vim like insert mode.

Skillmon replying to निरंजन

Nothing should ever behave like that, not even the abomination that's called Emacs, no matter in which "mode" (there are no modes in Emacs) it is. You have auto-indentation, if you need it you can adjust the indentation with either `>` or `<`, or get to rerun the auto-indenter with `=`. If you're at the start of the line and in insert mode you can press `<Tab>` to increase the indentation level by 1 as well.

निरंजन replying to Skillmon

Yeah, but it saves some time that way, I don't need tabbing (like you mention) in TeX anyway. So this really helps. Of course it's a personal preference, but yeah.

Skillmon replying to निरंजन

No, your behaviour only adds spaces *at the start of the line*, `<Tab>` should add spaces where your cursor currently is (I don't use tab characters, too).

निरंजन replying to Skillmon

1. I don't use tab characters. I am [against](https://www.jwz.org/doc/tabs-vs-spaces.html) using them.  
1. If adding spaces is the task, then the behaviour I mention does it already. Considering point number 1, for me the use of tab button is reduced to adding space. So it's much more easier to code than with the usual behaviour of tab. Btw, I just want to add, that's not the default behaviour of GNU Emacs. It is a feature provided by Auctex (a mode developed specifically for LaTeX) by default. So the other modes works exactly like you mention.

Skillmon

It doesn't change the indentation of a complete line. That's what `>`, `<`, and `=` are for (in VIM)

Skillmon replying to निरंजन

Of course there is. `<Tab>` either inserts a Tab-character (if you use those) or inserts space characters until you're at the next alignment point.

निरंजन replying to Skillmon

What else is Tab's use if not this? Breaking it reduces mistakes. I don't think there is any other "important" function which tab serves that is affected by this.

Skillmon replying to निरंजन

1. This doesn't sound like anything I'd ever want as the behaviour of my editor  
2. `=<space>` auto-indents the current line (in normal mode), so results in your 6 space indentation in that context, no need to break `<Tab>`  
3. You could use `:inoremap <Tab> <C-o>=<Space>` and have that (very wrong!) behaviour of `<Tab>` in insert mode.

J...S replying to samcarter

Ah.. :D

CarLaTeX replying to निरंजन

Oh no!
