Re: [Orgmode] LaTeX package dependencies
Hi Carsten,
I tested several systems:
* teTeX 3.0 (FreeBSD 7.0, 7.2, and 7.3, openSuSE 10.2)
misses MnSymbol
* texlive 2007 (openSuSE 10.3 and 11.1):
misses MnSymbol
* texlive 2008 (openSuSE 11.2):
doesn't work when using both wasysym and MnSymbol together
(duplicate symbols \iint and \iiint)
* texlive 2009 (Windows 7):
doesn't work when using both wasysym and MnSymbol together
(duplicate symbols \iint and \iiint)
My minimal latex test file is:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{t1enc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{marvosym}
\usepackage{wasysym}
\usepackage{MnSymbol}
\begin{document}
test
\end{document}
Best regards
Robert

Hi everyone,
I am working on better entity (special symbol) support for
export, based on a list Ulf Stegemann has compiled.
The list Ulf has sent me requires the following LaTeX
packages to be available:
* t1enc
* textcomp
* marvosym
* wasysym
* MnSymbol
Before I introduce new dependencies on these packages, I would like
to ask that many of you check if these packages are available
in the LaTeX distribution you are using. Please check,
and let me know which package you do not have.
Thanks!
- Carsten

Carsten,
Carsten Dominik carsten.domi...@gmail.com writes:

A little bit, although sadly I had few chances to actually use LaTeX
since I left the University. So I enjoy this even more :-)
So maybe you can help me with this.
I would like to
1. Require these packages with \usepackage or similar, but not
have an error thrown when they are not available
2. Provide, as you say, alternative versions with providecommand.
How would I do this? What do you mean by simple-text-alternatives?
I put the answer to both questions into a minimal example:
\documentclass{minimal} % should work with any document class
\IfFileExists{mnsymbol.sty}{%
\usepackage{mnsymbol}
}{%
\PackageWarning{orgmode}{mnsymbol.sty not found, using fall-back-replacements}
}
\providecommand*{\mnstar}{*} % provide alternative in case command not available
\begin{document}
\mnstar
\end{document}
Some notes:
- IfFileExists finds the sty file anywhere in the tex load
path (you can verify this with kpsewhich FILE on the commandline).
These commands are explained in the LaTeX Class writing guide:
texdoc clsguide
- \providecommand* is the same as \providecommand, but saves a tiny bit
of memory as no arguments are allowed that contain multiple
paragraphs (not making the *-variant the default for \providecommand
and \newcommand is in my opinion clearly a design flaw of LaTeX).
Hope to help,
Karsten

Just used a SlackBuild to compile TexLive20091107 to replace TeTeX 3.0_6 and now have MnSymbol (in other words, Zenwalk and all Slack based distros should be fine with all packages listed) On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 12:42 PM, Manish mailtomanish.sha...@gmail.comwrote: On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 10:22 AM, Carsten Dominik wrote: Hi everyone, I am working on better entity (special symbol) support for export, based on a list Ulf Stegemann has compiled.
