  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  7. CW: Dissertation - progress

    Habe jetzt noch mal einiges über #TexLaTex und \if, \ifnum, und \IfInteger gelernt.
    Das gute ist jetzt, auf jeder arabisch nummerierten rechten Seite wird in der Kopfzeile ein Bild mit dem Dateinamen der aktuellen Seite eingeblendet.
    Aber nur bis Seite 175.

    Das #Daumenkino in der #MöphDiss ist fertig.
    (Jaha. Ich nehme es für die Korrekturversion noch mal raus, aber die Abgabeversion meines #Privatvergnügen​s wird es enthalten.)

  8. #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.)

  9. #WritersCoffeeClub 3 Sep
    If you work digitally, what application do you use? If analog, what do you write on?

    Google Docs for the initial translations of individual tales. The draft is done on a BOOX Ultra Tab C, the rest of the work on a desktop PC, and the proofreading is done on a reMarkable 2.

    The subsequent typesetting is done with #TeXLaTeX , using Notepad++.

    Book manuscript proofreading is done on the reMarkable 2 for the PDF version, and the Kindle App on a small-screen BOOX reader.

  10. Nur noch zweimal Schlafen dann ist schonwieder der letzte Donnerstag im Monat.

    Und das heißt: Wenn du Fragen rund um das #Dokumentsatz|system LaTeX hast; oder generelles Interesse an #Typografie hast; oder demnächst „irgendwas mit Dokumenten“ machen musst/darfst, dann komme am 27.8. ab 18 Uhr in die #slubdresden (SLUB, Zentralbibliothek) in Raum 0.46 zum #TeXLaTeXMeetupDresden

    Dort gibt es Antworten. Und begeisterte #TeXLaTeX User, die gerne helfen, die ersten Hürden beim Einstieg zu meistern. Oder einfach nur Tipps zum Dokumentsatz allgemein geben.

  11. @tex_de Yuhu; das Listing bei treff.tech funktioniert sozusagen automagisch!

    Hier aber auch nochmal die Ankündigung von mir, denn das Ende des Monats rückt wieder in greifbare Nähe.

    Das beduetet: It’s #tex Time in #Dresden beim #TeXLaTeXMeetupDresden

    📅 27.08.2026
    🕕️ 18 Uhr

    Das neue #Schuljahr hat ja diese Woche angefangen. Das ist genau die richtige Zeit, um sich schonmal mental auf eine bevorstehende #Abschlussarbeit oder #Bewerbung mit #Lebenslauf (die ja bekanntlich auch gut aussehen und entspannt zu lesen sein sollen) vorzubereiten.

    Um so früher man sich mit solchen Themen auseinandersetzt, um so weniger Stress hat man eine Woche vor der Abgabe.

    Und mit #TeXLaTeX ist man in der Regel eine Woche vor Abgabe schon fertig. Weil man eben nicht ständig noch am Layout was rumfrickeln muss.

    Gönn dir ‘ne Woche entspannte Zeit und schau dir LaTeX an. Hilft.

  22. @yrochat Ce serait #TexLaTeX ;-)

    Mais moi, je préférerais #Pandoc avec #Typst (ou bien LaTeX, c’est juste beaucoup moins rapide).

    Tja, da hilft nur folgender #Youtube Kanal

    youtube.com/@UnlockingLaTeXGra

    Eigentlich eine Pflicht-Veranstaltung für alle, die sich beruflich - egal ob in der Schule oder im Verlag - mit #Mathematik beschäftigen.

    #texlatex ist das Beste, was ich in meinem Studium gelernt habe… ;-)

  29. ‘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: archive.org/details/hardy_russ

    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 [latex3.github.io/tagging-proje]. (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: codeberg.org/ajcain/hardy_russ

  30. Big update to the annotated edition of G.H. Hardy's ‘A Mathematician's Apology’: the PDF is now *tagged* (plus various minor improvements).

    (A #TaggedPDF contains extra semantic information to assist screen-reading software etc.)

    The new version is available (#OpenAccess as always) at archive.org/details/hardy_anno

    The LaTeX tagging system is still under development [latex3.github.io/tagging-proje], but I have been making progress in adapting my LaTeX styles to be tagging-compatible.

    For the annotated ‘Apology’, I also had to re-implement a subset of the functionality of the "manyfoot" package (which is currently not tagging-compatible), because there are two different kinds of footnotes in the annotated ‘Apology’. (Hardy's original footnotes and the annotations.)

    Although the PDF passes VeraPDF validation, there may of course be mistakes in the tagging. Feedback, especially from users of screen readers, would be much appreciated, especially because I now hope to add tags to ‘Form & Number: A History of Mathematical Beauty’ [archive.org/details/cain_forma].

  31. ‘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.)

    I have uploaded a re-typeset version of Hardy's pamphlet to the Internet Archive [archive.org/details/hardy_russ].

    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 [latex3.github.io/tagging-proje]. (A #TaggedPDF contains supplementary information to assist screen reading software, data extraction, etc.)

    Also, Hardy's work is in the public domain; there seemed to be no downloadable ebook version of this pamphlet; and I thought that it would be a useful companion to the ‘Annotated Mathematician's Apology’ [archive.org/details/hardy_anno].

    I have made available the #LuaLaTeX source code on #Codeberg, in case anyone is interested in how the style was created: codeberg.org/ajcain/hardy_russ

  32. Our Christine Windeln and @xporc presented a TeX-powered PrintCSS formatter at @markupuk . Great achievement by Christine who developed this tool as part of her bachelor's thesis.

  33. I think would helpful to have _a_ (not necessarily my) #chktex #precommit hook listed under pre-commit.com/hooks.html . This is where I searched for available hooks and only found the `pre-commit-latex-hook` repo, which is cool but not what I was looking for. 3/3
    #TeXLaTeX

  34. I was surprised I couldn't find [*] a #precommit hook to run the #ChkTeX #LaTeX #linter via the pre-commit framework (pre-commit.com) for #git . But it was trivial to create a new pre-commit configuration that runs chktex, I published a WIP repo under: github.com/meliache/pre-commit.
    I contains two hooks: chktex-system, which uses the system executable and chktex-conda, which installs chktex via #conda. Still I think probably this already exists somewhere and I just missed it. 1/N
