#texlatex — Public Fediverse posts

Behold an innovation in academic publishing that, astonishingly, is an IMPROVEMENT, not an abomination.

Instead of marking up proofs and sending them back, I am allowed to make direct edits to the publisher's source file in LaTeX.

Is this genuinely new, or have I just been publishing in old fogey journals? I still smart over having been forced to change a beautiful LaTeX document into MICROSOFT WORD DOC, of all things, when the article was accepted back in 2021.

Look at these lovely vintage style #TeXLaTeX docs by Foad Farimani! Exactly what I needed! (without knowing it...)

Hm cool.
Es gibt für #texlatex ein Braille Paket.

https://ctan.org/pkg/braille

Damit kann ich Texte schreiben und es wird automatisch in Braille übersetzt. 😃

Wenn ich jetzt keinen speziellen Braille Drucker habe, gibt es mit normalen Laserdruckern oder Nadeldruckern ggf. einen Trick, wie ich bspw. so drucken kann, dass sich ein Relief ergibt?
Ich meine manche Druckerzeugnisse aus Laserdruckern hinterlassen ein leichtes Relief.
Kann man das durch Mehrfachdruck an gleicher Stelle verstärken? 🤔

#nonsense #TeXLaTeX

#GSOC2026 is nearly over, and thanks to Hancong, you can now collbaborate with #Zotero users on the same #LIbreOffice document.
He also worked on various other improvements, like support for footnote citations for #CSL styles and support for tracking changes mode.
You can already try it in the latest dev version and soon in the new beta!
