kwarc / latex-proposal Goto Github PK

This is related to #14. I tried the latest LaTeX-proposal code (cloned from github) and the problem persists. The last page is labelled 0. I found out a workaround consisting in writing something in between \end{proposal} and \end{document}. This was actually why initially I was assuming the problem related to the finalised version (see my previous issue pdebuyl/FET_Proposal#1).

Thanks for a great package, it helped me on several previous applications! But I do have some trouble with current master on Ubuntu 18.04 with TeXlive 2019.

Changing the TEXINPUTS as described in the README did not do the trick for me. The examples would still find the version shipped with TeXLive. These would fail because they use bibtex, but the Makefile always started biber. It took me a while until I realised that.

I solved this by placing LaTeX-proposal in my local texmf directory.

Then, however, the "ed" package shipped with TeXlive is unable to handle the marginnote option, so I ended up patching that manually with what I found at https://gl.kwarc.info/kwarc/macros/tree/master/ed

It then runs through without error, but the DFG examples do not generate the title page. I will open a separate issue on that.

Page number appears twice; one in the heading, one in the footer.

Using a fully updated TeXLive 2015 (and pdflatex) the dfgproposal.cls throws the following error:

/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsmath/amsmath.sty:557: LaTeX Error: Command \iint already defined. [...d{\iint}{\DOTSI\protect\MultiIntegral{2}}]
/usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsmath/amsmath.sty:558: LaTeX Error: Command \iiint already defined. [...{\iiint}{\DOTSI\protect\MultiIntegral{3}}]

This seems to be caused by loading both amssymb and wasysym in the proposal.cls, in any particular order. Only removing wasysym fixes it.

so that we can check the work distribution between the sites.

And I have no idea why.

According to the manual "The proposal package uses the workaddress package for representation of
personal metadata". And workadress requires everyone to have both institution and department. How can unaffiliated people be handled? How about people at institutions so small that they don't have individual departments?

If one does not use the general option, the title, date, acronym etc. are suppressed. This information is contained in the DFG template: http://www.dfg.de/formulare/53_01_elan/53_01_de_elan.rtf.

This was not the case with the version of dfgproposal.cls that was delivered with TeXLive 2018. Since then, \ifgeneral has been moved up, see PR.

I have done that for the argatlas proposal so we can copy from there, only that it needs to be configurable, only to do be done if we are really on GIT.

I am trying to compile the examples on master, also see #40. Ubuntu 18.04 with TeXlive 2019.

simple-proposal/proposal.tex compiles without error, but it is missing the title page. In particular, the red disclaimer is shown, but neither

nor the table of contents.

I have read through the logfile carefully and multiple times, but I am unable to find anything that would seem related. I am stumped with regard to debugging this any further, would you have any pointers?

I do not necessarily need the latest and greatest version, but the example also refuses to compile with proposal shipped with TeXlive. Any general pointers to get a working setup would be greatly appreciated!

Would it be possible to add a simple example for the final report to the documentation?

• It should compile without errors (I can get a .pdf from the current example, but that is due to batchmode, and thus errors being ignored).
• It should be self-contained, i.e. not depend on other files, such as a proposal.

in dcm.sty.ltxml we have a facility that reads the information from DCMpeople.tex and generats dc:creator.../dc:creator. Eventually, this should generate FOAF metadata (see also #1531, but for the moment it should not delete spaces). See
​https://svn.kwarc.info/repos/stex-content/problems/SML/en/huffman.omdoc for an example.

that should be fixed.

Hi there,

when using \dfgprojpapers[articles]{cat_2017,parrot_2018} the all referenced citations are dumped regardless of the {selectors}.

From the documentation I suppose that this is not the intended behaviour?

Thanks for this really helpful template! :)

Related? #30

I've been building up a workplan with success but when I added the following code from your example I start to get errors:

\ganttchart[draft,xscale=.45]

Errors:

LaTeX Warning: title for wa wa1 undefined on input line 19.
LaTeX Warning: title for wp wp1 undefined on input line 23.
LaTeX Warning: RM for wp wp1 undefined on input line 23.
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again> 
                   p
l.35     \ganttchart[draft,xscale=.45]

? 

I'm not sure how to further diagnose but would be happy to provide more details as needed.

Hi there,

can one change the citation style to other than numeric or alphabetic? A little more flexibility here would be great.

Hello,

Currently, in the proposal, the task number is initialized to 1.1 whenever a new work package is started.
For example, package 3.1, tasks will be numbered as 1.1, 1.2, etc.

Is there a way by which it can have a nesting numbering like for work package 3.1, the tasks have numbering like 3.1.1, 3.1.2, etc.

I suspect that tikz has a way of automatically arranging nodes into a circle, then we could generate a circular graph of coherence automatically from the coherence information. We could then give the \coherencefig macro a style attribute that says which one we want.

How to reproduce:

git clone https://github.com/KWARC/LaTeX-proposal
cd LaTeX-proposal
make

have a look at, i.e., dfg/examples/proposal/public.pdf and dfg/examples/proposal/submit.pdf. The submit.pdf files reports "page 1 of 0", etc. The same behavior exists in eu/examples/fetopenstrep.

Normally, there should be a jobname.pdata file in those directories but I can't find it after the build. In https://github.com/pdebuyl/FET_Proposal the file is still present after a make -B draft or make -B final. Then, draft.pdata has the line

\@pdata@def{prop}{page}{last}{17}

but final.pdata does not. I have no idea why despite reading carefully proposal.sty.

In my proposal I am unable to properly create an hyperlink to the milestones. This seems to be the case also for the examples in the repo (https://github.com/KWARC/LaTeX-proposal/raw/master/eu/examples/strep/propB.pdf). If I try to click on the milestones as references in the deliverable description the hyperlink sends me to the first page. Is this is know issue?

When using numericcites (and biber), I noticed that sorting and labelling/numbering is based on the first bibliography generated by \dfgprojpapers, such that the sorting of the main bibliography (created by \printbibliography) is then not numbered consecutively. It seems to me that this depends on the initial creation of the *.bcf file. For example as a dirty hack I get the desired sorting when I first comment \dfgprojpapers, build and then uncomment again and build again. It would be great if that could be done in a more sophisticated (latex) way.

After a distro update (including texlive, biber, biblatex) my proposal would not compile any more. It seems that the newer versions do not allow to overwrite defaults set for usepackages in the class, e.g. I used to set

\PassOptionsToPackage{
  backend= biber, % overwriting backend works
  style= numeric, % overwriting style does not work, although it should?
}{biblatex}
\documentclass[11pt,numericcites,gitinfo,noworkareas,RAM\classoptions]{proposal}

without the need to remove backend=bibtex, in base/proposal.sty. The new biblatex now did not complain about my \PassOptionsToPackage but did not use my overwrite either.

Similar for setting the font size. Only after removing the scaled option in the STY I was able to change it with

\PassOptionsToPackage{scaled=1.00375% relative to 11pt of documentclass option! % <=> 11 pt  postscript points: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/167402/how-to-set-font-size-at-exactly-11-pt#167404
}{helvet}

Also changing the TOC depth and removing the auto section "list of attachments" needed modifications to the corresponding STYs.

It would be great if these could be overwritten (or demanded to be set) by the user.

This is a great stylesheet!

how is it possible to generate a list of todos? I am not sure what package is being used to generate the todos in the first place, but clearly \listoftodos does not do the job.

thx!

ch schreibe gerade an einem DFG-Antrag und wollte dfgproposal.cls verwenden. Ich habe ein Unix-basiertes System und meine TEX-Dibstribution ist auf dem neusten Stand. Wenn ich aber das make-file für das Beispiel-Proposal, welches sich in

https://github.com/KWARC/LaTeX-proposal/blob/master/dfg/examples/proposal

befindet, ausführe, dann erscheint eine Fehlermeldung

*** No rule to make target `proposal1-blx.aux', needed by `proposal1-blx.bbl'.  Stop.

In der Tat erscheinen keine Publikationen in Abschnitt 1.1.1. Das ist aber auch in der PDF-Datei so, die sich im oben genannten Verzeichnis auf Ihrer Webseite befindet.

I'm using:
\documentclass[12pt,numericcites]{proposal}

Yet my citations are still being done in [NamYY].

We are using the bibLaTeX category system for generating these. This works well for dfgproposal.cls which has only one of these. But here we get the same publications for every site, since they are only featured. We should at least give a keyword or category per site and add that to the publications. It would probably be good to also add the category (or use; are categories exclusive?) keypubs. Then we can remove them from the regular publications.

Hi there,

the syntax of \dfgprojpapers is not really clear to me. What does <keys> and <refs> refer to exactly?

A comma seperated list of bibtex refs does result in a single citation. Maybe a ramped up documentation with a short example would help.

thanks and best regards,

M

Then the \wpfig is empty, which is quite baffling.

Are projects without acronym supported?
I tried changing

  acronym={iPoWr},
  acrolong={\underline{I}ntelligent} {\underline{P}r\underline{o}posal} {\underline{Wr}iting},
  title=\pn: \protect\pnlong,

to

  title=test,

in the so called "simple" proposal DFG template. But I get:

! Undefined control sequence.
\prop@proposal ...RGE Acronym: {\prop@gen@acronym

The topic and summary of a proposal are length limited:

• proposal environment, "thema" key (140 characters)
• Summary environment (1600)
• Abriss environment (same)

It would be nice to get a warning when this limit is exceeded: both on the error output, but also visually in the rendered document (when in draft mode)

when setting my TEXINPUTS to LaTeX-proposal//, any \input{propB} (as an example) would also see the propB.tex in the examples directory under LaTeX-proposal//. While this may still be acceptable for sources present in $PWD (tex should find these first) it poses a risk if it comes to the autogenerated .pdata and .delivs . If sth goes wrong in generating the .pdata (as it did due to the eupdata.sty bug, tex will then take the .pdata in the examples dir. For someone starting a new proposal from a given example, this can be very hard to detect. i guess for this reason, the examples are not included in the ctan package (make ctan).

I agree this is very unfortunate. I think the only way to really change this is to move the examples directories to the top level.

I wrote a DFG proposal using this package. But the .pdf contains a table of contents ("Inhaltsverzeichnis") on the title page. Even the examples for this class contain a table of contents.

How can I get rid of the table of contents (the DFG does not allow it)?

How would I go about removing or disabling the native SVN requirement and instead use gitinfo2?
Currently, if I simply add \usepackage[pcount,grumpy,mark,markifdirty]{gitinfo2} I get a messy heading on the title page and have duplicate footers with SVN.

Hi team,

I have used the LaTeX-proposal class before, but didn't have to set it up. I am trying to advocate use of this convenient LaTeX-proposal class for a group of people. However, making the first step seems quite hard at the moment (for LaTeX users who are not experts).

Would it be possible to give more guidance on how to get started? For example, before/after having cloned the proposal class in the directory demo (for example) like this:

cd $HOME
mkdir demo
cd demo
git clone https://github.com/KWARC/LaTeX-proposal.git

what "cp" commands does one need to carry out to compile the EU example proposal shown in https://github.com/KWARC/LaTeX-proposal/blob/master/eu/examples/strep/propB.pdf ? Which command should be used (and in which directory to trigger compilation)? We may also have to adjust the paths in the Makefile in the strep directory.

It would be great to have a minimum working example for this to build on. Thank you!

Some proposal sections have upper page limits. Would it be possible to represent these sections by

\begin{typeofsection}
...
\end{typeofsection}

and check at the end how many pages we are away from the beginning?

Just re-reporting this, so we don't forget:

Sometimes, a spurious vspace is inserted below a task environment. Apparently this happens whenever there is some cross-reference (ref or cite) close to the end of a text line that fills the whole text width.

I want to change the way milestones are references. At present, the reference which I obtain by using
\mileref{myMilestone} is M1. I would like to change it to MS1 but I can't find the line to change this reference style. Any idea?

The CTAN version misses some .tex file needed to run the example files, e.g. WApersons.tex.

Could you please add them for the next release?

Additionally (not only) on the "report" site (https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/proposal/dfg) the old svn link is still referenced instead of the new git one.

Thank you for all the work.

because it has marginnote, which is used here (thanks fto #40). While I am at it, I should probably also fold Florian's changes into it.

Hallo Michael,

thanks for putting that together! I tried compiling final report.tex and it doesn't find /lib/WApersons

Cheers!
