Additionally, this version is also designed to be printed single-sided, to make it easy to fill out and complete when it is in a three-ring binder. + +This version also includes a bit of a kludge to get around issues with LaTeX running out of memory when compiling such a large document. + +This document makes use of the [forloop](https://ctan.org/pkg/forloop?lang=en) package to create 54 weeks, sequentially numbered. However, as my computer only has 6 gigabytes of RAM, LaTeX runs out of memory. My solution has been to compile this document twice, resetting the page number during the second compilation. The relevant lines are these: + +``` +%\setcounter{page}{203} + +\forloop{ct}{1}{\value{ct}<26}{ +``` + +Compiling this document once produces a pdf titled "planner_daily_vertical.pdf" which contains the first half of the year. I then change the title of that document using `$ mv planner_daily_vertical.pdf 2025-1.pdf`. I then uncomment the `setcounter` command, and change the beginning and ending values of the `forloop` command. + +``` +\setcounter{page}{203} + +\forloop{ct}{26}{\value{ct}<54}{ +``` + +Recompiling the document produces another pdf document, this time containing the second half of the year. (It's not pretty, but it works.) + ## Background For background information, see my [Planner in LaTeX](https://git.kjodle.net/kjodle/planner-in-latex).
