I was using pdflatex to generate receipts for product purchases on my website, and I found it didn't have very good international multilingual unicode support. I found wkhtmltopdf, which works great for me. On a digitalocean debian server, I'm producing receipts that closely mimic my on-line HTML receipts in 16 languages. I highly recommend wkhtmltopdf.

I ran up against international limitations of tex / latex / pdflatex yesterday. I found wkhtmltopdf and got it working with all 13 languages that the Brain Computer Enterprises, Cooperative Inc. ( @bce ) website currently supports. Today, I am completing the conversion of the PDF order receipt generation from pdflatex to wkhtmltopdf.

Si te quedas atascado instalando #texlive-full o #pdflatex

Solo oprime enter tantas veces hasta que te aparezca la palabra : done.

Has así en cada etapa que te quedes atascado.

Simplemente funciona.

Unicode pictograms to mark progressively rising values:
https://www.draketo.de/anderes/unicode-icon-progressions

For Ace Maths I searched for unicode icons to mark progression: show that you’re getting better. Since I found a lot of different options (from simple sparklines to a huge list of animals), I’m collecting them in this article.

Includes a tip for somewhat better, automatic #unicode "image" suppport #LaTeX with plain #pdflatex / #pdftex

#Obsidian #Export #Debian #Pandoc #pdflatex #question

I just installed an Obsidian plugin for multiformat export (github.com/mokeyish/obsidian-e…) which uses pandoc.
Pandoc, in turn, needs a pdflatex engine (as a default / recommended). Now, I am struggling to find a way to install pdflatex in Debian. The search for packages brought me to tracker.debian.org/pkg/texlive… which manpage mentions pdflatex, but after installation neither CLI nor Obsidian can detect such command.

Is there an easy way to get pdflatex, or should I switc to another pandoc-accepted engine, and which one?

Since #macOS broke all my known-to-work PDF workflows, I replaced all of them by using #pdflatex from #Debian package texlive-extra-utils. You wouldn't believe it, but that just works(TM).

@TeXUsersGroup That sounds amazing, inlining #Python into #TexLatex. Unfortunate that journals only ever accept pdflatex (and are often already clumsy at that).

Is there a way to 'dumbify' #LuaLatex into #pdfLatex? 🤔

Liebe #LaTeX-Menschen.
Liebes #Overleaf.
Liebe #TeXworks- und #TeXstudio- und Was-auch-immer-X-Dokumentierende.

Ich will hier nur was #formatieren. Warum erklärt ihr den Kram so, als hätt ich die nächsten 3 Jahre nix besseres zu tun und ein rein akademisches Interesse an der Materie, das auf eine technische #Doktorarbeit über die Geschichte von #TrueTypeFont und #pdfLaTeX hinauslaufen soll?

ICH WILL HIER NUR WAS FORMATIEREN!!!! Sagt mir, wie ich das mache!!! Und nur das!
DANKE!!!!11!1 -.-

@TeXhackse @datalad @[email protected] Perfect!! These two commands fix the #reproducibility in #pdfLaTeX:

\pdfinfoomitdate 1 % no /CreationDate and /ModDate in PDF output
\pdftrailerid{} % no /ID in PDF output

#TeXLaTeX #reproducibleBuilds

Suppose I have a pdf which looks nice and perfect when I open it with any installed pdf viewer. However, when I include it with includegraphics in #LaTeX some fonts are broken. What can cause this issue? I don't even know what to google.

I just published a #LaTeX #CV #template for bi-ingual CVs:
https://github.com/novoid/LaTeX-CV-template
#TeX #Lebenslauf #Vorlage #pdflatex

If you're a #LaTeX user/geek, I'm looking for references/discussions explaining why #pdflatex does not generate accessible #PDF out-of-the-box and what's the current status about fixing it. TIA ! #TeXLive

Using #Emacs and #OrgMode as a binder for the pieces of my next novel and its makefile.

I know I could just use #Scrivener, but I find I like the notion fo outlining in the binder and then linking to the Markdown source for the draft.

I've been building my (GNU) makefile with <http://swcarpentry.github.io/make-novice/>. If I want to make PDFs I'll need to remove the old 'n busted #teTeX packages that come with #Slackware and install #TeXLive from slackbuilds.org because #pandoc needs #pdflatex.
