Sometimes the manual just isn’t enough!

If you encounter any issues or have questions while using Ximera, there are multiple ways to get assistance:

Email the Ximera developers who are happy to help! We can assist you with any technical or content-related questions you may have. You can reach us directly via email:

ximera@math.osu.edu

When contacting us, please include: The URL to the GitHub repository as this will allow us to directly see and interact with your code and the URL of a deployed page if applicable.

Join our Discord server by going to:

https://go.osu.edu/author-discord

There you can ask questions and talk directly to developers.

Submit an issue on our GitHub and we’ll find it! If you have identified a bug, want to request a feature, you can make the request here:

https://github.com/XimeraProject/ximeraLatex/issues

If the Ximera Manual requires clarification, please submit an issue on our GitHub repository:

https://github.com/XimeraProject/ximeraManuals/issues

When submitting an issue, follow these steps:

(a): Log in to your GitHub account. If you don’t have one, you can create an account for free at GitHub.
(b): Navigate to: https://github.com/XimeraProject/ximeraManuals/issues
(c): Click the “New Issue” button.
(d): Provide a descriptive title and a detailed explanation of the issue or suggestion.
(e): Attach any relevant files, screenshots, or links to help the team understand your report.

Community contributions are essential to Ximera’s sustainability. Ximera is an open-source project, and we welcome contributions from the community. If you have suggestions for improving the platform or this manual, feel free to fork the repository and submit a pull request on GitHub.

If you would like to contribute to the Ximera document class, we suggest the following workflow:

(a): Make a Template of a testing repository like: https://github.com/ XimeraProject/ximeraFirstSteps
(b): Clone your template, or work on your template in a GitHub Codespace.
(c): Fork XimeraLatex.
(d): Clone your fork of Ximera LaTeX into your template, and switch to the development branch (this should be up-to-date with the master branch).
(e): In your template, rename the folder ximeraLatex to .ximera_local. Now your template will use this version of Ximera LaTeX.
(f): Make your edits by either directly editing a preamble file (that overrides the current ximeraLatex) or within ximera.cls found within .ximera_local directly.
(g): Once your changes work, make your changes in the *.dtx files. If you developed in ximera.cls directly, change its name to ximeradev.cls so that it is not overwritten in the next step.
(h): Run make and a new ximera.cls, xourse.cls, ximera.4ht and xourse.4ht will be generated, overwriting any existing files in .ximera_local.
(i): Push changes to your fork of ximeraLatex. It is best to make small commits, and give detailed descriptions.
(j): When ready, submit a pull-request from your fork.

Once your changes have been accepted via a pull-request, Ximera developers will update the branch master from the branch development.

Thank you for using Ximera. We are committed to providing high-quality tools for creating and sharing interactive mathematics content. Your feedback and questions are invaluable to us!
