LaTeX package recommendations to use with langscibook

Examples

package recommmended? reason
langsci-gb4e yes fully compatible and documented
linguex no incompatible with langscibook without the modifcations in langsci-linguex
expex yes compatible with langscibook, but langsci-gb4e has to be deactivated in the complete book

Tree structures

package recommmended? reason
forest yes versatile package with a useful, easy to read syntax
tikz-qtree yes can be used, but is less preferrable compared to forest
xyling no complicated syntax, high computing times leading to significant increase in document compilation
pst-jtree no
tree-dvips no compatibility issues with core langscibook components

Other linguistic packages

package recommmended? reason
tipa no please use Unicode instead. You can take a look at our langsci-textipa sub-package for TeX macro bindings to Unicode chars. Please also load ot-tableau without tipa: \usepackage[notipa]{ot-tableau}.

Proofs (sequential calculus)

package recommmended? reason
ebproof yes aligns well with example environments
bussproofs no does not align well in examples, insufficient means for customisation

General

package recommmended? reason
mathtools ~ watch out for the re-definitions in \overbrace etc.
soul no Uses font ectt1000, which does not have many non-ASCII characters (IPA, etc)
tocloft no Can clash with the Table of ... settings from scrbook. Use methods shipped with scrbook instead.
wrapfigure no Figures wrapped around the main text are incompatible with our house style and should never be used.
