  1. The re·sil·ient collection of modules for the #SILE #digitalTypesetting system is my solution for streamlining the production of #PDF books “from the front to the back cover” using lightweight markup languages such as #djot

    More than a year ago, I fancied the idea of using gradients instead of solid colors in the design of some elements....

  3. @debacle @alerque @typst Grown up in #TeXLaTEX, pretty impressed with #Typst, using my own “mark4down” flow (m4 | pandoc) with either LaTeX or Typst as the actual typesetting engine. All work well, allthough I do think there’s room for improvement - are we yet producing PDF/UA?

    I don’t know #SILE. Is this a stealthy pitch?

  4. Just released v4.0 of my _re·sil·ient_ collection of modules for the #SILE digital typesetting system.
    Authoring PDF books from front cover to back cover, in lightweight markup language, and more.

  5. @raineer For my part I could live without #TeXLaTeX. Not by choice but I could survive via #SILE and #typst. On the other hand being forced to abandon #plaintext and use Word is a bridge too far.

  6. For an upcoming release of my collection of add-on modules for the #SILE typesetting system, I wanted to have some fun and implemented PDF forms (interactive fields)...
    Well, It is not the best-written part of the PDF specifications; and as far as I can tell playing with options, support by PDF viewers is at best spotty, when not to say inconsistent...
    I wonder if these PDF forms are still used for anything serious, in the modern age of the web?

  7. @lou_de_sel Si tu as déjà du Markdown en entrée... Il y a quelques alternatives à un rendu PDF par LaTeX:

    1/ Pandoc, oui mais + #Typst en moteur (mais je n'ai pas regardé comment personnaliser les styles)

    2/ #SILE + resilient.sile (et qui a une configuration des styles en YAML). J'ai produit quelques livres avec ça (je suis l'auteur du module resilient.sile) avec notes de bas de pages, biblios, maths etc, donc queques-uns publiés en impression POD.

  8. From a simple YAML input, my collection of add-on modules for the SILE digital typesetting system now generates hybrid Factur-X / ZugFeRD PDFs!
    🚀 Sweet, styled, and automation-ready.

  13. Did you know the #SILE #digitalTypesetting system supports a fairly decent subset of #BibTeX / #BibLaTeX and Citation Style Language for bibliographies? True, it's a work in progress, but with some fixes just proposed upstream, it gets better at the task.

  14. Did you know the #SILE #digitalTypesetting supports a very decent subset of the (La)TeX math syntax, besides MathML ? True, there are still bugs and limitations. With some fixes proposed upstream, it gets better at the task.

  15. Şile'de tehlikeli olduğu değerlendirilen bir cisim bulundu: Şile Balibey Mahallesi Kırandere Plajı yakınlarında roket başlığı olduğu değerlendirilen cisim görüldüğüne dair yapılan ihbar üzerine olay yerine Sahil Güvenlik Komutanlığı ve itfaiye ekipleri sevk edildi. Çevrede güvenlik önlemi alınarak çalışma başlatıldı.

  19. @debacle As for DocBook support in #SILE, it's IMHO fairly limited and not really usable. There are open tickets on SILE's GitHub repository regarding it. But I don't think it's really used by anyone.... It could be revived with enough interest. There are other possible workflows however (using Pandoc etc.), so it's hard to say whether the effort is worth it.

  20. İstanbul'da kalanlar Şile'deki plajları tercih etti: Kurban Bayramı tatilini İstanbul'da geçirenler güneşin ve sıcak havanın keyfini çıkarmak için Şile sahilini tercih etti. Yoğunluk Ayazma Plajıyla Ağva mahallesi sahilinde daha fazla gözlemlendi. Yaşanan yoğunluk nedeniyle trafik zaman zaman durma noktasına geldi. Bazı kişilerin yoğunluk yaşanan plajlar yerine Yeşilçay deresine girerek serinlemeyi… eshahaber.com.tr/haber/istanbu EshaHaber.com.tr #İstanbul #Şile #KurbanBayramı #Plaj #SıcakHava

  22. @tajpulo Out of curiosity, I'd be interested to know what makes #SILE math support "rudimentary", while supporting all MathML tags except one, and lots of TeX-like constructs (as of 0.15.12).

  23. "Are we digital typesetting yet?"

    I am going to ask this question myself in a talk [1] tomorrow at Grazer Linuxtage #GLT25. I am going to provide a Getting-started-with for @speedata publisher, #SILE, and @typst [2]. The goal is to provide a helpful comparison [3].

    The livestream and video recording are going to be on media.ccc.de/

  24. Since It comes "for free" with some other low-level updates, why not have "sketchy" tables in a hand-drawn style? Not that I intend to use that possibility a lot, but heh, who knows!

  25. Some fancy QR codes made with the #SILE typesetting system and the latest version of my QR code module. Cool stuff for e.g. posters.
    #qrcode #digitalTypesetting

  26. Today's feeling? Pure joy! #SILE 0.15.10 is available, and it simply wouldn’t have happened without @alerque’s dedication—hats off! 🎩

    I know #TeXLaTeX are time-tested champions, and #Typst is making waves. But have you given SILE a chance?
    ✨ Very decent TeX-like math support
    🤖 One of the smartest automated italic correction heuristics
    📚 Improved Bib(La)TeX + CSL citation support
    🔍 A revamped indexer package

  28. @pedka @alerque #SILE is fully programmable in #lLua. It ships with the Penlight library which would be one possible way to read a CSV out-of-the-box (pl.data.read), though of course other existing Lua libraries could be used as well. What you then do with the data is all yours in your Lua logic -- For instance, I am using CSV for including pie/donut charts in PDF documents.
    github.com/Omikhleia/piecharts

  29. @pedka Have you tried The #SILE Typesetter?

    sile-typesetter.org/

    It can process input in *several* formats including XML or a TeX inspired but much more regularly structured and predictable SIL variant.

    You can check out some samples in SIL in some of the comparisons that include comparable #TeXLaTeX and #Typst samples here:

    polytype.dev/

  30. Today, I extracted my #Lua port of the Rough.js library into a standalone module and published it on #luarocks

    It is a small graphics library that lets you draw lines, polygons and curves in a sketchy, hand-drawn-like, style.

    I formerly used it in some of my 3rd-party packages for the #SILE typesetting system, but now having it as its own independent module might be interesting for other Lua developers, outside the SILE ecosystem.

    github.com/Omikhleia/rough-lua

  31. @bins That exact layout is going to be a nightmare in any engine. #speedata will probably come closest, but #texlatex is going to be *hard*, and neither #typst nor #sile will handle both balanced columns and floating images across columns at the same time.

  32. @nonlinear Not sure I get the whole question, but for me (as casual writer or book composer) authoring in a simple "pivot format" such as Markdown/Djot and managing the work under #git (to track my changes, etc.) are key points. At the moment I am using #SILE to get a PDF for print. But having a pivot format is also a key too towards having HTML, ePub or whatever if I eventually want them, without having to recompose too much (and yes #pandoc is then in the mix)

  33. In 2025, many digital typesetting systems still have problems with automated italic correction: polytype.dev/italic-correction/

    #sile #xelatex #typst #digitalTypesetting

    ... not to mention WYSIWYG office suites, but that would a whole other topic. I don't know any passing that test, is there?

  34. It's so small a thing done today that I even hesitated mentioning here: code syntax highlighting in the #SILE #digitalTypesetting system, based on Scintillua.

    github.com/Omikhleia/highlight

  35. #TeXLaTeX or SILE in #markdown :
    - Inline $\varinjlim_{n \in N}$
    - Display $$\varinjlim_{n \in N}$$

    #SILE in SIL language :
    - Inline \math{\varinjlim_{n \in N}}
    - Display \math[mode=display]{\varinjlim_{n \in N}}

    #SILE in #Djot :
    - Inline $`\varinjlim_{n \in N}`
    - Display $$`\varinjlim_{n \in N}`

    #Typst
    - Not that straightforward? forum.typst.app/t/how-to-creat

    #MathML without dirty hacks nor CSS
    - Gimme a hint!

  36. So for Grazer Linuxtage (#glt25) I consider submitting a talk. I came up with two talk ideas so far. Which talk would you be interested in?

    *Current state of digital typesetting*
    a comparsion and explanation of typesetting engines like #TeX/#LuaLaTeX, #typst, #SILE, #boxesandglue, and frontends like #Quarto

    *New features in CSS3*
    This talk assumes you are familiar with #CSS, but you need an update for the latest #CSS3 features with a focus on typography and line-based typesetting

  37. The correlations between #typesetting engines to their #terminal text editors are irrefutable:

    * #TeXLaTeX is #emacs.
    * #SILE is #neovim.
    * #Typst is #helix.
    * #WeasyPrint is #nano.
    * #Speedata is #microeditor

    Now back to your regularly scheduled indentation.

  38. Excited to share my free PDF booklet: "SILE and the Hydra of Maths: Showcase & Critical Assessment 2024".
    It chronicles my journey enhancing math support in #SILE, exploring challenges & insights across:
    #MathML, #TexLatex #MathJax, #Unicode, #UnicodeMath, #Typst, #Lout, #AsciiMath, #OpenType and more.
    What a journey!

  39. @fl0und3r It looks like you could be interested in my "re·sil·ient" collection of modules for #SILE #typesetting system. You can use Djot/Markdown for content (ticking the lightweight markup requirement), with a few useful extensions. It has a master document system (not exactly what you mention, though on "sections") and a styling paradigm (as a style file which details I also adjust separately from the content of my books).

  40. Today's thoughts?
    Sometimes I smile seeing posts such as: "Do you use #TeXLaTex, #context, #typst, or #patoline as #digitalTypesetting solution?").

    What about just #markdown or #djot to #pdf with _one_ software? It's called the #sile typesetter with just _one_ extra collection installed:
    github.com/Omikhleia/resilient

    (Heh! Don't tell me it counts as 2 if you need Pandoc, LaTeX, _lots_ of CTAN modules to achieve the same, not even that. Book covers,, ISBN, styling... all in just _one_ collection.

  41. Today? Just having some fun at last playing with a few improvements I'm implementing for the math support in the #sile #digitalTypesetting system (square roots, nth-roots, limits, text in equations, etc.). I find the results quite encouraging so far!

  42. @chrisvest don't judge a software in active development just too quickly on its manual. Several cool books were made with #sile and the wiki on giithub has links to some of them :)

  43. Eines meiner Highlights der vergangenen #Radreise durch #Veneto und #FriuliVeneziaGiulia

    Wie kalt da so mancher Fluss sein kann. Sowohl der #Sile als auch besonders die #Livenza

    Grad bei letzter muss ich mich im Nachhinein noch bei dem netten Einheimischen entschuldigen, der meinte, dass die zum Schwimmen viel zu kalt wäre ;-)

  44. "Le Dragon de Brume" is glad to announce the Summer 2024 edition of its PDF booklet "A bibliography of Tolkien studies in French & English".

    sites.google.com/site/dragonbr

    As for our previous volumes, all source files are available in #djot and (a subset of) #biblatex – using the (currently in-development) bibliography and citation modules for the #sile typesetting system.

    #Tolkien #TolkienStudies #tolkiendil

  45. @rk the other two options would be #SILE and #typst.

    Other follow-ups groupings would also be mashups like #speedata / prince / etc. and browser tech options like #weasyprint / #pagedjs / etc.

    See also polytype.dev for some comparisons I was/am working on.

  46. "Le Dragon de Brume" is glad to announce "On cartography, maps & locations in Middle-earth" -- a collection of essays on JRR Tolkien's world, translated from French into English.

    Beside a regular print edition, in an "open access" spirit, the PDF is also made available.

    sites.google.com/site/dragonbr

    All source files are provided too in #djot format mostly; for the curious-minded, the book was composed with the #sile typesetter.

    #sile #digitalTypesetting #TolkienStudies #tolkien #tolkiendil

  47. SILE 0.15 is out.
    Besides the technical improvements to the typesetting engine, it also comes with a good bunch of cool typography-related enhancements.
    Better block quote and text alignment environments, support for emphasis nesting, numbered display math equations, ability for PDF links, strike-through and underline content to span multiple lines, and -- last but not least --,
    automated italic correction heuristics... and even more. That's nice!

    #sile #typesetting #digitalTypesetting

  48. It's a v3 because of subtle API changes, but in raw terms of features, it's just a "small" improvement, the #SILE ecosystem had the gust of it since at least 2022, while the much hyped #typst is still waiting for it, as far as I know (github.com/typst/typst/issues/). Go ahead folks!

  49. Beautiful and creative boxes for the #SILE typesetting system:
    My framebox package (part of the ptable.sile module) reaches version 3.0 and gets a few more #roughjs options (ported to Lua)

  50. As of recent version 0.14.17, the #SILE typesetting system now correctly breaks compound words in Croatian, Czech, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak and Spanish at the end of a line (double hyphens). It also correctly breaks Catalan "ela geminada" (cancelling the #puntvolat), as well as Turkish words with apostrophes.
    ... I am wondering what other weird fancy rule for other languages might have been overlooked!

    #digitalTypesetting #typesetting

  51. New package for the #SILE typesetting system: Pie charts.
    Because why not.

  52. What to do when you wanted dropped initial capitals spanning over 3 lines of regular text... but some have "descenders" below the baseline. Strict resizing, or tolerance for an extra hanged line? Whatever you preference is... But I feel mesmerized looking at it 🤪
