tufte-latex / tufte-latex

A Tufte-inspired LaTeX class for producing handouts, papers, and books

Hi,

Welcome to the beginnings of Tufte LaTeX package to help you produce Tufte-style handouts, reports, and notes.

Quick Start

Try typesetting sample-handout.tex with the following sequence of commands,

pdflatex sample-handout
bibtex   sample-handout
pdflatex sample-handout
pdflatex sample-handout

The result should look like sample-handout.pdf.

The sample book can be compiled with the following:

pdflatex sample-book
bibtex sample-book
texindy --language english sample-book.idx
# or makeindex sample-book.idx
pdflatex sample-book
pdflatex sample-book
pdflatex sample-book

Troubleshooting

If you encounter errors of the form,

! LaTeX Error: File `paralist.sty' not found.

you will need to obtain missing packages from CTAN. For package installation instructions and answers to many other questions, see the UK TeX FAQ or search the comp.text.tex group.

The following packages are required:

• chngpage or changepage
• fancyhdr
• fontenc
• geometry
• hyperref
• natbib and bibentry
• optparams
• paralist
• placeins
• ragged2e
• setspace
• textcase
• textcomp
• titlesec
• titletoc
• xcolor
• xifthen

The following packages are optional and will be automatically used if installed:

• beramono
• helvet
• ifpdf
• ifxetex
• letterspace (in the microtype package)
• mathpazo
• soul

tufte-latex's Issues

Captions as sidenotes

Find a way to set captions as sidenotes.  If the figure/table fits in the
\textwidth, the caption should be a sidenote alongside the figure/table. 
If the figure/table stretches across the full page width, the caption
should be set as a sidenote above or below the figure/table.

\thanks command with author name string produces compilation error.

(Please attach an example .tex file demonstrating the problem or bug.)

Please describe the feature, problem, or bug:
When the \thanks command is used with author name string, pdflatex shows
compilation error. Logfile is attached. Lines 624-637 and 638-645 describe
the errors. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Apparently, output is produced correctly though there is compilation error.

What version of Tufte-LaTeX are you using?  With which TeX distribution?

Tufte-book: No \part or \subsubsection?

(Please attach an example .tex file demonstrating the problem or bug.)

Please describe the feature, problem, or bug:

Reading the sample-book.pdf file, page 15, leads me to believe that \part
and \subsubsection are defined in the tufte-book class.  However when I try
to use these commands TeX emits an error to the effect that they are undefined.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the output formatted as described in page 15 of the
tufte-book manual.  Instead I see nothing: TeX stops.


What version of Tufte-LaTeX are you using?  With which TeX distribution?
Version 3.0 with texlive (Ubuntu Jaunty).

Please provide any additional information below.

Thanks for your great work so far.  Please let me know if I can be more
helpful with bug reports.  I have attached my actual working file.  Would
you prefer the absolute minimum TeX markup to reproduce the bug, or
real-life documents?

Referencing tables not working when using subfigure package

First of all, thank you very much for these great document classes. I'm
using tufte-book for my Diplomarbeit and I'm really happy with it.

However, there seems to be a bug in the current SVN version (as of
9/4/2010) regarding referencing tables and using the subfigure package at
the same time. 

If one compiles the attached .tex-file without uncommenting the line

\usepackage[FIGBOTCAP,TABBOTCAP]{subfigure}

then the \ref-command produces the number 1.2 (which is the current section
number) instead of 1.1 (which is the correct table number). In contrast,
when commenting the above line everything works as expected (besides that I
have to do a manual \stepcounter{figure} after using the \subfigure command.

In the meantime I uncommented the following lines in tufte-common.def as a
workaround:

\ifthenelse{\boolean{@tufte@packages@subfigure}}{%
% don't move the label while inside a \subfigure or \subtable command
\global\let\label\@tufte@orig@label%
}{}% subfigure package is not loaded


The error occurs with recent texlive and Miktex installations.

Thank you very much in advance.

Custom trim sizes

If someone wants to use the tufte-book class on a trim size other than A4
or US letter, then we should document how they can do that.

Also, wrap the internal T-L length calculations in a command that can be
called by the end user  if they've redefined the margin or paper sizes.

XeTeX and euler

The euler package has a conflict with tufte-book in XeLaTeX mode, as
tufte-common.def loads indirectly fontspec (via xltxtra) and euler needs to
be loaded before fontspec.

A quick and dirty patch against r166 is attached. If applied, the user
needs to say 

\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}

manually in his document.

footnote with the raggedright option

Hi, 

I'm trying to get a justified main text and unjustified footnotes,
sidenotes and captions. I could modify the .sty file for the captions but
surprisingly, it does not change the footnotes, which remain justified.

I tried as follows:

%\providecommand*{\footnotelayout}{\@tufte@marginfont\@tufte@justification}
%\renewcommand{\footnotelayout}{\@tufte@marginfont\@tufte@justification}
\providecommand*{\footnotelayout}{\@tufte@marginfont\RaggedRight}
\renewcommand{\footnotelayout}{\@tufte@marginfont\RaggedRight}

and also replaced the \@tufte@justification option by \RaggedRight
where ever I could but still without success.

Thank you

\newthought eats UTF-8 double quotes

I'm using XeLaTeX, and usually use the UTF-8 double quotes instead of the
normal ``''.

The command \newthought{The term “participle”} results in the close quotes
being "eaten": THE TERM "PARTICIPLE is not a real part of speech....

There is a workaround: \newthought{The term “participle\protect{”}} works
correctly. But I don't think the \protect should be necessary, IMO.

I'm using svn revision r79 of Tufte-LaTeX.

Toc depth in hyperref

When the pdf file is generated hyperref adds the toc links. The (printed) toc 
should only show 
chapters. But that is not true in the pdf toc that is 'collapsable'. Clicking

section which I think is a good thing.

Captions for algorithm environment are put on the wrong side

Please describe the feature, problem, or bug:

When using the algorithm environment with T-L book style with two side and 
symmetric options, 
the marginnote with the caption is sometimes put on the wrong side. You see it 
in the PDF 
output from the minimal example on page 4.

I have the similar experience with marginnotes in theorems, but cannot 
construct a minimal 
example for now.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The "normal" marginnote respects the front/back side detection, but the caption 
of algorithm 
environment does not.

What version of Tufte-LaTeX are you using?  With which TeX distribution?

r166 of T-L. pdflatex of MacTeX 2009. xelatex had the same effect.

Please provide any additional information below.

I have the minimal example and a screenshot attached.

\newthought should suppress extra space when used immediately after \section

Currently, \newthought always adds some vertical space before setting the
text.  If \newthought directly follows \section (or any of the section
commands), this space should be suppressed because the \section command
adds the appropriate vertical space itself.

Package bidi bolixes \cite{}

For tufte-handout.cls 2.0.0, the fix for the incompatibility with bidi was
to add \usepackage{bidi} just before the
\RequirePackage[side,multiple,stable]{footmisc} line in tufte-handout.cls.

However, with the refactoring of code into tufte-handout.cls and
tufte-common.sty, the command
\RequirePackage[side,multiple,stable]{footmisc} is no longer in either of
the files.

Would it be possible to also put a conditional in the code at the place
where \usepackage{bidi} is supposed to be put, so that the code checks for
"\usepackage{bidi}" in the source tex document, and then inserts the
command at the proper place where it doesn't conflict with tuft-handout
sidenotes?

I'm using MacTeX 2008 and XeLaTeX (for Middle Eastern languages, hence the
need for bidi).

handout's tableofcontents not in line with Tufte?

I am using tufte-latex 3.0.0 (and miktex 2.7) and think this is great 
stuff. Maybe I am understanding something wrong, in this case please delete 
my report.

I am using the handout (and not the book) class. For some reason I need a 
tableofcontents on the first page. The toc I got using handout.cls had 
boldface section-entries and roman subsection-entries. This is in my 
opinion not good since then on the first page there are at least four 
different fonts. 

Next I tried to use titletoc to modify the table of contents. 
Unfortunately, I was unable even to understand the manual. So I gave up on 
that. 

I am now using tocloft and the following code

    \usepackage{tocloft}
    \renewcommand{\cfttoctitlefont}{\Large\itshape}
    \renewcommand{\cftsecleader}{} %pagenumbers immediately after entry
    \renewcommand{\cftsecafterpnum}{\cftparfillskip}%new line after section
    \renewcommand{\cftsecfont}{\itshape}%maybe scshape?
    \renewcommand{\cftsubsecleader}{}
    \renewcommand{\cftsubsecafterpnum}{\cftparfillskip}
    \renewcommand{\cftsubsecfont}{\small\itshape}

So I suggest either fixing the problem or using tocloft. Best, Andreas 
Loeffler.

PS In some time we will see requests for putting a company logo on the 
first page of any handout. One can argue whether this is good or bad, but 
there are of course some PR-people who will require that. We should think 
about where to put such a logo and how to program that (I have done it 
using handout-local but I would love to see how a "real" designer does it).

twoside option breaks sidenote placement

* What steps will reproduce the problem?

Use the [twoside] document class option.

* What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect that the second page is formatted as every other even page. 
Instead, the second page (only) has its three sidenotes cut off on the
right-hand side, and the larger left-hand margin is empty.

On the last page (a right-hand page), the first sidenote is cut off on the
left-hand side, but the larger right-hand margin has another three
sidenotes.  Expect all four sidenotes in the larger right-hand margin.

* What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

2007/09/24 v1.0.1 Tufte-handout class, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

* Please provide any additional information below.

Thanks for making a consistent, beautiful class!  It's significantly better
than the ACM Transactions style I use.

l222 in r81 of tufte-common.sty changed to
{\geometry{a4paper,left=24.8mm,top=27.4mm,headsep=2\baselineskip,textwidth=107mm
,margi
nparsep=8.2mm,marginparwidth=49.4mm,textheight=49\baselineskip,headheight=\basel

baseline of sidenotes off

The side/foot notes are slightly off to the bottom. I added

    \leavevmode%

in l646 of tufte-common.sty of r86 to move the sidenotes up on the same 
baseline as the text. 
l624 has the command in \@footnotemark instead of \@footnotetext. 

This breaks the handout example layout, l159 of sample-handout.tex has a 
vertical offset.

Multiple Authors

Please describe the feature, problem, or bug:

For my tufte-book I would like to have more than one author.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Usually I can do this with the \and command: \author{Mr. X \and Mrs. Y}. This 
does not work here. I 
tried doing it like this: \author{A\\\noindent B}, but the two lines don't line 
up, the second one is 
slightly shifted to the left. Also the line-height is a bit too high.

What version of Tufte-LaTeX are you using?  With which TeX distribution?

Tufte v3.0.0 on MacTex 2009

Index not showing up in book PDF

Please describe the feature, problem, or bug:

Using the sample .tex file with the commands listed in the README (with "-
book" instead of "-handout"), I am unable to see the Index elements as it 
is with the provided sample-book.pdf


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

There is no "Index" section in the compiled document, when there should be.


What version of Tufte-LaTeX are you using?  With which TeX distribution?

I'm using 3.0 of Tufte-LaTeX, with MacTeX 2008 on Mac OS 10.5.7.


Please provide any additional information below.

Extra space if no \author or \date{} is empty

There is blank space in the title block if there is no \author specified:

%---- BEGIN
\documentclass{tufte-handout}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\title{My Title}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\lipsum[1-5]
\end{document}
%---- END

The blank space should be swallowed if there is no author or no date.

Inclusion of subfig package changes font style of captions

The inclusion of the subfig package changes the typesetting of captions in
the page margin. The font size and font type is then the same as in the
main text.

This behavior is observed with the latest svn build 128. It is not a
problem if the (deprecated) subfigure package is used instead of the subfig
package.

Footnotes and marginnotes are typeset correctly when the subfig package is
included.

space between sidenotes

Hi all.

The space between two sidenotes is a little bit small if one has a lot of 
citations. Maybe it is 
possible to increase the default space between two sidenotes by a tiny bit. I 
used r128 and attached 
a test page to demonstrate what I mean. 

The first line is:
\documentclass[b5paper, symmetric, justified, sidenote=raggedouter, 
marginnote=raggedouter, 
caption=justified, citation=raggedouter]{tufte-book}

author-year citations error using bibtex

Hi.

The new bibtex rules got stricter and I keep getting 

! Package natbib Error: Bibliography not compatible with author-year citations.

The tufte style does not even use author-year style but superscript numbers 
anyway.

So I could fix it in l511 r81 of tufte-common.sty by explicitly using the 
numbers option

\RequirePackage[numbers]{natbib}

2 line book title wiggle

Hi.

The title of the book in sample-book.tex of r81 wiggles a little to the left 
and right if it spans over 
more than 1 line. My thesis e.g. had the title 'Materials for spin polarized 
tunneling'.

I could fix it, by removing lines 927, 930, 932, and 935 of tufte-common.sty. 
Basically, the 
fullwidth environment spans over the full page now. Not sure why it helps, but 
it does.

no paragraph indent in tufte-book class

Hi.

The tufte-book class has no indented paragraphs in r85. It seems that the 
ragged2e package 
overwrites the \parindent option. Interestingly, \maketitle fixes it back in 
tufte-handout. 

I think paragraphs should be indented. (a) It is in the Tufte books. (b) One 
cannot distinguish 
paragraphs with ragged right text and the last line of a paragraph happening to 
be of full length.

It does, however, break former formatting. So as in r80: any sidenote position 
tweaks and other 
vertical spacing tweaks you've applied may need to be recalculated.

I could fix it by inserting 
\setlength{\RaggedRightParindent}{1pc}
in l247 of tufte-common.sty
