Unable to import gensymb, conflicts with \degree definition in uothesisapa.cls? #8

Closed tzcrawford closed 3 years ago

tzcrawford commented 4 years ago

I don't understand exactly what all is done exactly in uothesisapa.cls where general formatting is declared, but I believe \degree is manually defined here. If you add \usepackage{gensymb} elsewhere in the document (e.g. 0_uothesisapa_preamble.tex),pdflatexgives an error that \degree is already defined. In gensymb, this function would print the degree symbol (°).

I found a workaround in instead importing the textcomp package and using \textdegree function instead.

This is an unfortunate annoyance. Another, more invasive fix would be to redefine uothesis as having uodegree instead of degree. I'm going to close this since you found a workaround.
