Big update to ‘Form & Number: A History of Mathematical Beauty’: the PDFs are now *tagged* (plus various minor improvements).
A #TaggedPDF contains hidden extra semantic information to assist screen-reading software etc., including alt text for diagrams+images (in the case of ‘F&N’, 552 pieces of alt text were required, some quite lengthy).
The new version is available (#OpenAccess as always) at: https://archive.org/details/cain_formandnumber_ebook_large
Feedback from users of screen readers would be very welcome!
Creating this version has been possible because of the ongoing LaTeX tagging project [https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/] (thank you to the LaTeX team and other contributors!). I have been adapting my own #LuaLaTeX styles [https://codeberg.org/ajcain/minos] to use the new interfaces.

My #semigroups lecture notes ‘Nine Chapters on the Semigroup Art’ are now accessible #TaggedPDF files: https://archive.org/details/cain_semigroups_a4_screen
I have been working to update my LuaLaTeX style "minos" [https://codeberg.org/ajcain/minos] to use the new interfaces created by the LaTeX tagging project, and this is the latest outcome [https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/].
Besides adding "alt" text for the (many!) diagrams, there were only one or two small changes to be made to the LaTeX code of the document itself (which was mostly written in 2012, long before the tagging project started). Essentially all the complicated changes were in the style. This is a testament to the work of the tagging project team.
The files pass VeraPDF validation, but feedback from users of screen readers would be very welcome.

Another update to my #LuaLaTeX style "minos", used in ‘Form & Number: A History of Mathematical Beauty’ and my other books (links in profile).
Git repository: https://codeberg.org/ajcain/minos
Download documentation or source .zip/.tar.gz: https://codeberg.org/ajcain/minos/releases
Improvements mostly concern #TaggedPDF-related features:
- Sidenotes are now tagged as *notes* (same as footnotes), not as "Aside" (the default for marginal content).
- The theorem number appears in the proof heads even when \DocumentMetadata is used — in the previous version I had not integrated this feature into the new interfaces for theorem-like environments.
(The number also appears in the QED symbol, which is a long-standing feature I would like to highlight. I think is useful with nested proofs; example from docs attached.)

‘Bertrand Russell & Trinity: A college controversy of the last war’ is a pamphlet written by G.H. Hardy in 1942, giving an account of the dismissal of Russell from his Trinity College lectureship in 1916 following his criminal conviction for anti-war political activity. (Hardy was at the time a fellow of Trinity and opposed Russell's ouster.)
Since there was no downloadable ebook, I made a re-typeset version, which I have just updated: https://archive.org/details/hardy_russellandtrinity
Creating this version was an exercise for me to learn how to (start to) adapt my LaTeX styles to the new interfaces created by the ongoing LaTeX tagging project [https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/]. (A #TaggedPDF contains supplementary information to assist screen reading software, data extraction, etc.)
The updates are mostly behind-the-scenes source code changes, particularly to use the new template interfaces for sectioning. I have made the source available in case it is useful as an example to others: https://codeberg.org/ajcain/hardy_russellandtrinity

> Free, open, and self-determined option without the need for self hosting?
Exactly this, especially ‘self-determined’.
I presume most publishers would want me to follow a house style, but I like to have complete control over all aspects of the typography. (I wrote an article about the typography: https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb46-1/tb142cain-setting-form.pdf (open access))
Also, I have been able to make corrections and changes based on readers’ comments and upload new versions without having to seek a publisher’s approval.
In particular, earlier this year I updated my annotated version of Hardy’s ‘A Mathematician’s Apology’ [https://archive.org/details/hardy_annotated] to an accessible #TaggedPDF. I aim to do the same for ‘Form & Number’, but it is a (vastly!) more complicated document and it needs some features that I think are still under development by the LaTeX tagging project [https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/].

Hey, @11011110 please tell us more about ltx-talk!
I've just heard about it today from @schuemaa and @oantolin and it sounds like just the thing, once we can get org-mode export supported as well as Beamer export has been.

I made a edition of Edward Gibbon’s ‘Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’ as a phone/tablet-sized PDF: https://archive.org/details/gibbon_declineandfall (3863 pages!)
LuaLaTeX source code: https://codeberg.org/ajcain/gibbon_declineandfall
The style uses the interfaces created by the LaTeX tagging project, so (at least in theory), it is an accessible #TaggedPDF.
The font is @mc_wiki’s beautiful Garamontio.

Yves-Marie André's (1675–1764) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yves_Marie_André] ‘Essay on Beauty’ (‘Essai sur le beau’, 1741) was an important work of 18th-century aesthetics. In the article on beauty in the 2nd volume (1752) of the ‘Encylopédie’, Denis Diderot praised André's system as the best he knew, elevating it above the work of Plato, Augustine, Wolff, Crousaz, Shaftesbury.
In 2010, I released a #CreativeCommons-licensed annotated English translation [https://archive.org/details/EssayOnBeauty]. I have just made an update: the PDF is now an accessible #TaggedPDF.
(The LaTeX tagging system is still under development [https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/], but I have been adapting my LaTeX styles to be tagging-compatible.)
Although I was a much less practised typographer 16 years ago, I have left the overall design of ‘Essay on Beauty’ unchanged, contenting myself with minor improvements offered by an updated version of the Baskervald font, ensuring that line-end hyphenations follow the OUP standard, and a few other localized improvements.

In 2010, I released a #CreativeCommons-licensed annotated English translation [https://archive.org/details/EssayOnBeauty]. I have just made an update: the PDF is now an accessible #TaggedPDF.
(The LaTeX tagging system is still under development [https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/], but I have been adapting my LaTeX styles to be tagging-compatible.)
Although I was a much less practised typographer 16 years ago, I have left the overall design of ‘Essay on Beauty’ unchanged, contenting myself with minor improvements offered by an updated version of the Baskervald font, ensuring that line-end hyphenations follow the OUP standard, and a few other localized improvements.

Yves-Marie André's (1675–1764) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yves_Marie_André] ‘Essay on Beauty’ (‘Essai sur le beau’, 1741) was an important work of 18th-century aesthetics. In the article on beauty in the 2nd volume (1752) of the ‘Encylopédie’, Denis Diderot praised André's system as the best he knew, elevating it above the work of Plato, Augustine, Wolff, Crousaz, Shaftesbury.

Der Löwe und ich machen uns startklar für die #CLT2026 (@clt_news)
Mal sehen was dieses Jahr so für Fragen am #DanteEV Stand vorbeikommen und was wir so dazu lernen. Also falls ihr zufällig gerade die eine oder andere Frage dabei habt... Wir werden versuchen zu helfen. Bei den Themen wie #TeX & Friends, insbesondere #TeXLaTeX, #eRechnung, #ZUGFeRD , #TaggedPdf ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, relativ hoch, dass das klappt.

My new #LuaLaTeX package: lua-simple-wrap
This package allows easy wrapping of text around small figures, pull quotes, etc. (See attached image.)
Unlike (I think) all other LaTeX packages for wrapping text around things, the wrapped object can be specified at its natural place in the text, and the package works out where it should appear. Virtually all the processing happens on the Lua side.
The package is semi-experimental, and definitely requires more work before I submit it to CTAN, but the basic functionality is in place and seems to be working well. In particular, tagging support (for producing accessible PDFs) is already present.
Git repository: https://codeberg.org/ajcain/lua-simple-wrap
Download documentation and built package: https://codeberg.org/ajcain/lua-simple-wrap/releases
If you try it, feedback would be much appreciated!
