I've just published my first LaTeX package!
Countwords is a simple package for counting words in LaTeX documents. Words are counted into a standard LaTeX counter, which can then printed (or otherwise manipulated) in all the normal ways. You can stop and counting whenever you want, and have multiple independent counters.
It's on CTAN here: https://ctan.org/pkg/countwords
P.S. credit to Philipp Gesang @phgsng for the original lua wordcount code.

After lunch @fiee and @d2887 presented the #TeXConTeXt based data sheet workflow they use at WIWA including some additional tooling which simplfies debugging and avoiding mistakes.
This presentation included nice examples showing the mechanisms #LuaMetaTeX (and #LuaTeX) provide to create macros using Lua as well as the internal JSON parser.

Der erste Vortrag am gestrigen Nachmittag war nochmal ein Projekt der WIWA. @fiee und @d2887 haben einen Einblick in das Toolnig zur Erzeugung von Datenblättern gegeben.
Dises Mal #TeXConTeXt basiert und mit nettem Beispiel dazu, wie man bei #LuaTeX und #LuaMetaTeX Makros durch Lua erzeugen kann mit Hinweis auf eingebauten JSON Parser.

Standard interchange image format for Open Source DTP
Hi people,
with all the mayor GUI #DTP software reaching their peak: #GIMP, #Scribus and #Inkscape; and the well established #TeX software #ConTeXt and #SpeedataPublisher, and #ImageMagick we need a serious discussion about which image format we should adopt that works seamlessly across all these applications and it is generally accepted in the press workflow, whereas is embedded or not into a PDF file.
It should be something that has good quality, supports #CMYK and Alpha channels and it is #opensource friendly and perhaps an #openstandard.
I would dare to say that perhaps jpeg2000 matches most of them, it exists from a very long time and can be adopted as common ground, however it is need a combined effort, if what I am writing makes sense for you.
ImageMagick supports it, Gimp 3 currently doesn't, #LuaTeX and #LuaMetaTeX neither. I guess that Inkscape once it will be able to export in CMYK it will decide which format using to store images in CMYK with alpha into a PDF.
It would be very beneficial if we can adopt a format that works everywhere and it is press friendly, thanks.

I pored through the intertubes and finally have a working setup for #OrgMode + #LuaTeX + #Beamer that supports emojos! :moomin_yay:

LuaLaTeX : petite introduction à l’utilisation de quelques callbacks (visio-conférence), Le jeudi 12 septembre 2024 de 20h00 à 21h00. https://www.agendadulibre.org/events/30706 #latex #lua #callbacks #luatex #visioConférence #rencontre

Fiddling around with the ecosystem around #luatex, #sagetex and #quarto and honestly it‘s more and more cool over time how we have this whole ecosystem where programming, design, documentation and visualization can intertwine. It‘s not always perfect obviously, you have your jank and everything. And some aspects invite high-cloud dreaming. But it‘s in many respects awesome how much is just… well, just possible. It‘s really exciting to see.

Im letzten Vortrag des Tages beschäftigt sich Hans Hagen mit „The Performance Narrative“ und gibt einen Überblick über die unterschiedlichen #TeX Compiler, deren Resourcennutzung, ein Paar Einblicke in Unterschiede zwischen #LuaMetaTeX und #LuaTeX sowie Faktoren, die Kompilierungszeiten beeinflussen.

Gavin about #documentation for #MetaPost:
I am working with #MetaPost in #ConTeXt. Here are the resources I use, roughly in the order I search when trying to solve a problem.➤ #MetaFun Manual (http://www.pragma-ade.nl/general/manuals/metafun-p.pdf) This is most comprehensive and helpful source.
➤ MetaPost Manual (http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/doc/metapost/mpman.pdf) This is not specific to ConTeXt, but it is very useful.
➤ The MetaFun page on the ConTeXt wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Graphics_and_media/Tutorials/Graphical_programming_with_MetaPost_and_MetaFun)

Concerning the last #LuaTeX update and the corresponding security vulnerabilities allowing the call of arbitrary shell commands even with shell escape disabled there now is additional information available.
Details at:
https://tug.org/~mseven/luatex.htmlThis includes information how one can even fix an older TeX Live release.

Hello Fediverse!
We’re #newhere, even if we are already 14 years old – and #ConTeXt is the infamous alternative to #LaTeX for more than 20 years!The developers of ConTeXt are also behind #LuaTeX and now #LuaMetaTeX.
We’re the incisors (AKA bleeding edge) of the dinosaur of open source. 😉
