  1. One task that staff & students outsource to #llmchatbots is transforming #BibTex from a publisher website or library catalogue into particular academic citation styles. To save resources, we can look into alternatives like Chris Proctor's pybtex-apa7-style #Python plugin for #APA7. I have adapted his plugin in a script with widgets for reuse in Colab:

    Maybe this is of help to others. MLA & other citation styles have no pybtex plugins yet, but this may still change. 🤞🏼

  2. 🧠📚 Been deep in the weeds refining my APA 7 student paper template—fully accessible, screen reader-friendly, and powered by LaTeX + Makefile automation. It’s designed for blind students, accessibility advocates, and anyone who wants a clean, reproducible academic workflow. Note that it doesn't use the apa7 class since that wouldn't allow the PDF to be tagged for accessibility.

    ✅ Includes:

    • Automated PDF builds with BibLaTeX
    • Submission and status reporting targets
    • Sample references. Bib
    • Screen reader-friendly README

    Built and tested across Raspberry Pi, Fedora Remix, and openSUSE with WSL integration. If you’re navigating academic publishing with accessibility in mind, I made this for you.
