The latex template for preview writeups has been updated today.

Thanks to Nigel Smart for reporting a few bugs, which have now been corrected.

The updated version is available for download from the MPTS 2025 workshop page, and the MPTC project page.

Some tips: 

  • Compilation. Compile with lualatex, using a recently updated latex distribution.
  • Math Font. If your latex distribution installation is not complete, it might not include the font Latin Modern Math. In that case, the font can be obtained from https://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/lm-math.zip > opentype/latinmodern-math.otf
  • Tagging (enabling/disabling). The provided template implements auto-tagging to a certain extent, via the calling of \DocumentMetadata{testphase=phase-III} in the first line. Tagging in LaTeX can be complex, is still incompatible with some usual packages, and may result in various errors/warnings. In case it is useful to defer tagging debugging to a later time, the tagging can be temporarily turned off by commenting out the mentioned first line. 
  • Accessible references. As just mentioned in another thread, we will investigate the possibility of adding a command \addbibaddendum{key}{content} that may facilitate adding accessible links to every bibliographic reference. This would achieve the expected feature, while avoiding manual modification of a main bib file that the authors may wish to keep intact for practical reasons.

Regards, Luís
