Die aktuelle „TeXnische Komödie“ (Mitgliederzeitschrift von DANTE) enthält einen langen Artikel über die Verwendung einer OpenType-Schulschrift mit TeX live 2019, XeLaTeX und 7 bit ASCII.

Ich verstehe wirklich nicht, warum der nicht abgelehnt wurde – so etwas war 2019 schon veraltet, ist nur noch peinlich und wirft ein ganz schlechtes Licht auf die TeX-Szene.

It's this time of the year for JabRef maintainers, users, and students who participated during #GSOC.

@InAnYan and @Hancong for coming all the way from #Switzerland and the #Netherlands by train (thanks #DB) and having quite an odyssey!

If you have an important issue we need to address, now is the chance to get it fixed in the next hours or days!

#WritersCoffeeClub 4. September: If you work digitally, what application do you use? If analog, what do you write on?

I make notes in @TiddlyWiki, and then I use those notes to write #TeXLaTeX code in any old plain-text editor. I input that code into the appropriate preamble, and compile a document from there.

If I write in analogue (note spelling, Yanks!) I will choose any old notebook and any old lead pencil. (I haven't used a pen in more than ten years after a particularly bad leak.)

Bonjour à toutes et à tous ! 👋

Poussé par un collègue qui avait cette idée depuis un moment mais n'avait pas les compétences pour coder ça en #LaTeX...

On commence un nouveau projet : GéomaTeX → https://lmdbt.forge.apps.education.fr/geomatex/

Il redige le texte, je m'occupe des figures. 👌

L'idée : une bibliothèque de méthode pour tracer des figures rédigé en LaTeX.

Merci encore à @cpierquet dont le paquet OutilsGeomTikZ facilite grandement le travail ! 🙏

For newbies feeling hesitant or frustrated about #Emacs and its Lisp flavor. tl;dr #Foss #lifelonglearning victories!

In 2010 or so I watched an interview with the immortal Carsten Dominik, creator of Org mode. He made an offhand remark to the effect of "I just love coding in Emacs Lisp, it's just how I think, it's just so natural, don't you agree?" And I was very unhappy. Because I could not agree. That discouragement stuck with me.

My wife always says "the time is going to go by anyway," and this is wisdom. By 2023 I had written "org-teach" for producing classroom materials, shared it at EmacsConf, actually used it in the wild. Others around here have done similar, @randyridenour @ericsfraga @asilata sorry if I'm forgetting you.

Long story short, the underlying #TeXLaTeX core couldn't do #taggedpdf until 2025. I asked on here for help and @yantar92 went to the mailing list and before I could say meta x @paaguti and @schuemaa had us all sorted out. So grateful!

https://codeberg.org/paaguti/pdf-ua2-tests/src/branch/main/ltx-talk-test

With these significantly changed dependencies I decided to rewrite the jank that was org-teach from scratch. And it feels like lightning shoots from my fingertips now. I can implement functionality almost as fast as I can think of it. Too messy to share quite yet. But this kind of workflow and software self sufficiency feels like a superpower. Emacs Lisp just feels natural now. After only a decade and a half!

But seriously, all my progress is thanks to this community.

#emacslisp

I was already having misgivings about #CPython when I saw a required #Rust dependency coming up (although I know many here have no issues with this), but now that there have been #LLM commits to the project, I'd like to look at alternatives. It seems great that #Pypy exists, although I worry that it will end up replicating undesirable behavior from CPython in the future.

I had been learning C++ with the goal of writing extensions using CPython. As it happens, I already have a physical copy of a book on #Lua and many applications are written in C++ with Lua scripting on top, so I'm going to swap out Python for Lua in an upcoming project. I'm excited to be able to experiment with #LuaLaTeX or writing scripts for #GeanyIDE. The language shows up in way more places than I realized.

#Python #cpp #CPlusPlus #programming #Scripting #ScriptingLanguage #TexLatex

@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.

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.

Habt ihr Ideen, wie man ein taktisches Arbeitsblatt (https://www.idf.nrw.de/service/downloads/pdf/taktisches_arbeitsblatt.pdf) für die Arbeit im Wahlvorstand in LaTex (DINA A4) aufbereiten könnte?

Bonjour à tous ! 👋

Une nouvelle fiche d'exercices d'automatisme **AutomaTeX 7** est sortie ! 🚀

🔗 https://lmdbt.forge.apps.education.fr/automatex/6e/AutomaTex(7)/automatex(7).html

Au programme (niveau #6e voire #5e) :
- 🔢 **Table de multiplication**
- 📏 **Abscisse d'un point** (niveau 2 → division euclidienne)
- 🧭 **Mesure d'un #angle** (#rapporteur en place - dans le sens trigo et horaire)

Bonne journée à tous et à bientôt ! 😃

currently tinkering with getting @ResearchOrgs annotations into @joss papers.

Minus the need for some style tweaks, it seems to be working!

Here's the PR with these changes: https://github.com/openjournals/inara/pull/72

#TeXLaTeX #joss #openscience #openpublishing #futureofpublishing #openmetadata #bibliometrics

I've recently launched an idea at https://polytype.dev — a sort of Rosetta Stone for #typesetting engines.

The goal is to build up a sample gallery that showcases both differences and similarities between the input and output of #SILE, #TeXLaTeX, #Typst, #speedata, #weasyprint, #pagedjs, #groff, #satysfi, #patoline, and potentially others.

The source code is at https://github.com/alerque/polytype and contributions are very welcome! The UI in particular could use the touch of a front-end developer!
