-== List of package sets ==
+:'''TeX Live''' is a free software distribution for the [[Wikipedia:TeX|TeX]] typesetting system that includes major TeX-related programs, macro packages, and fonts.
-Since TeX Live consist of thousands of packages, to make managing it easier, NixOS provides the following sets:

-* nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-basic (texlive-combined-basic)
+The following Tex Live schemes are available:
-* nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-context (texlive-combined-context)
-* nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-full (texlive-combined-full)
-* nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-gust (texlive-combined-gust)

-* nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-minimal (texlive-combined-minimal)
-* nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-small (texlive-combined-small)
-* nixpkgs.texlive.combined.scheme-tetex (texlive-combined-tetex)

-== Common problems ==
+===Combine Sets===
+You can install a set with extra packages by using something like
+<code>(texlive.combine {
+	inherit (texlive) scheme-medium xifthen ifmtarg framed paralist titlesec;
+	})
+</code>
+For a minimal set of packages needed for Emacs Orgmode, as described in org-latex-default-packages-alist variable, install these packages:
+<pre>
+{ config, pkgs, ... }:
+let
+  tex = (pkgs.texlive.combine {
+    inherit (pkgs.texlive) scheme-basic
+      dvisvgm dvipng # for preview and export as html
+      wrapfig amsmath ulem hyperref capt-of;
+      #(setq org-latex-compiler "lualatex")
+      #(setq org-preview-latex-default-process 'dvisvgm)
+  });
+in
+{ # home-manager
+  home.packages = with pkgs; [
+    tex
+  ];
+}
+</pre>
+== Adding a Custom Package ==
+If you have a custom LaTeX package or style file that is not part of the TeXLive distribution, you can add it to the package set like this:
+First, create a derivation for your package. The contents of <code>$out/tex</code> will later be placed in <code>texmf/tex</code>
+ latex-corporate-identity = pkgs.stdenvNoCC.mkDerivation {
+   name = "latex-corporate-identity";
+   src = ./path/to/package/tree;
+   installPhase = "cp -r $src $out";
+   passthru.tlType = "run";
+ };
+ texlive-corporate-identity = {
+   pkgs = [ latex-corporate-identity ];
+ };
+The directory tree under the path specified as src looks like this:
+ └── tex
+     └── latex
+         └── corporate-identity
+             ├── corporate-identity.sty
+You can now add the package to the combined set as you would with any other texlive package:
+ tex = pkgs.texlive.combine {
+   inherit (pkgs.texlive) scheme-full;
+   inherit texlive-corporate-identity;
+ };
+== Troubleshooting ==
+=== Missing <code>lmodern.sty</code> ===
 If LaTex (perhaps through Pandoc) complains about missing <code>lmodern.sty</code>, make sure you have at least <code>texlive.combined.scheme-medium</code> installed (-full should work as well; while -small worked for some, but not for all).
+=== Invalid fontname ‘Latin Modern Roman/ICU’ ===
+If you get an error message saying “Invalid fontname ‘Latin Modern Roman/ICU’. . . ”, then you need to add the
+entry '''lmodern''' into your configuration in the section '''fonts.fonts''' and rebuild.
