How would i use it, sorry i'm quite new to this bot and latex

#

oh just saw the other pdf lol

#

im still confused on how i would actually write it out tho

sleek thistle
#

Ok don't look at the example pdf

#

Look at the documentation

#

For example

signal grotto
#

do i just need to have the usepackage command?

sleek thistle
#

You'll need \usepackage{polynom} in your preamble yes

signal grotto
#

ok so how do i tell the texit bot that or is it the same

sleek thistle

Preamble extension cancelled, your preamble was not modified.

signal grotto
#

oh ok

#

thank you

sleek thistle
#

And then make sure to type y in response to the prompt

signal grotto
#

ok

#

actually, one more thing

#

how do i set which stage i want it to go to

sleek thistle
#

That's in the documentation as well

signal grotto
#

this?

sleek thistle
#

Yes

#

So you would do \polylongdiv[stage=X]{poly a}{poly b}

#

I think

signal grotto
#

yes thats done the trick

#

thanks!
