I'm working on an expose (research proposal) and I selected this template in overleaf which is 2 columns. now the problem is I want to include a short biography of 2 persons in the end without in form of text-wrap without using \begin{IEEEbiography} \end{IEEEbiography} since it messes up the designed template. Actually, in this template, they didn't use \documentclass{ieeeaccess} without cls file. Considering I checked related post1, post2, so far I tried 2 methods as follows unsuccessfully after I had included \usepackage{wrapfig} \usepackage{lipsum}:

\documentclass[%
 reprint,
%superscriptaddress,
%groupedaddress,
%unsortedaddress,
%runinaddress,
%frontmatterverbose, 
%preprint,
%preprintnumbers,
%nofootinbib,
%nobibnotes,
%bibnotes,
 amsmath,amssymb,
 aps,
%pra,
%prb,
%rmp,
%prstab,
%prstper,
%floatfix,
]{revtex4-2}

\usepackage{graphicx}% Include figure files
\usepackage{dcolumn}% Align table columns on decimal point
\usepackage{bm}% bold math
\usepackage{hyperref}% enables hyperlinks in the PDF
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{lipsum}


\begin{document}


\section{Introduction & Background}


\section{References}
\bibliography{bibfile}% Produces the bibliography via BibTeX.


%Method 1
\lipsum[1]


\begin{wrapfigure}{L}{0.5\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=1in,height=1.25in,clip,keepaspectratio]{a1.png}
%blablabla
\end{wrapfigure}


%\lipsum[2-3]


%Method 2
\begin{wrapfigure}{l}{0.5\textwidth}
  %\begin{center}
    \includegraphics[width=0.18\textwidth]{a1.png}
%blablabla
\end{wrapfigure}


\end{document}

So far the output is as follows: img

Any helps to improve this template will be appreciated.

  • It is not clear what you are trying to accomplish. You images do not look anything like your code fragment. If I were trying to produce something like the mage, I would use \noindent\rlap and \raisebox for the photo and \hangindent for the text. – John Kormylo Aug 02 '20 at 20:49
  • @JohnKormylo Sir if you check that template I addressed you see how it looks like but I just updated the post. Would you offer a complete script to make it correct? As you see it doesn't work! – Mario Aug 02 '20 at 20:52
  • Your sample document has no text after the wrapfigures, so the pictures are dumped without wrapping any text. Your widths specification "0.5\textwidth" is wrong -- it is wider than a whole column width! – Donald Arseneau Aug 03 '20 at 02:15
  • @DonaldArseneau Thanks for your input since you're so into it, may I ask you to check this question regarding generating short line in the center above title in 2 columns format. – Mario Aug 03 '20 at 07:49

This overlaps 8 lines of text with the image with a width of 1in and a gap of 1em. Not sure how to force two columns side by side with revtex4-2. IIRC, IEEE uses a tabular in the title area of \twocolumn.

BTW, \lipsum has gotten more difficult to use lately.

  • Thanks for your input it works but despite I used \clearpage Overleaf includes some unknown words which I didn't mention in the biography profile and fills automatically which I highlighted with red color. Do you know how I can avoid it? See the picture, please. – Mario Aug 02 '20 at 22:08

    They are from \lipsum and \LipsumPar to add fake text to MSEs. Otherwise, they serve no useful purpose. Just get rid of them and the package. – John Kormylo Aug 03 '20 at 03:44
