Any LaTeX experts around who can tell me how to fix the rendering of this BibTex citation?
The parentheses in the author's name seems so not get handled correctly, but I can't find how to include those properly. The parentheses are in the original author listing of the paper so I think they should be included.

#astronomy #texlatex
New version of my 'Capuchin' paper #sundialMore detailed calendar, declination scale, meridian elevation scale.
This altitude sundial dates back from the 16th c. Can be printed on book-sized paper. Add a weighted thread with a bead.
On my website you can find the printout for integer latitudes (41 to 52°N), and a user guide in french. -

Hello folks,
We’ve all been there: you’ve got a project idea, but you’re not sure how to turn it into something tangible and concrete. I’ve created something specifically for this: a #TeXLaTeX template licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
Where can you find it? Well, this way: https://codeberg.org/w4ts0n/TexLaTex-Konzept-Vorlage
Please feel free to leave feedback if you can think of anything that’s missing. :)

Nabend zusammen,
wer kennt es nicht: Eins hat eine Projektidee, weiß aber nicht, wie dies in greifbare und vorstellbare Form gegossen werden könnte. Ich habe genau dafür etwas gebaut: Ein Vorlage #TexLaTex mit CC BY-SA 4.0 als Lizenz.
Wo diese nun zu finden ist? Nun: Hier entlang: https://codeberg.org/w4ts0n/TexLaTex-Konzept-Vorlage
Lasst gerne Feedback da, wenn Euch etwas einfällt, was fehlt. :)

OK, I am stuck with #texlatex, specifically #babel. May I invoke the mighty #fedibrain for some help? #boosts welcome.
Thing is, I am writing a thesis on a Linux Mint 22.3 laptop. Some of the LaTeX packages are quite old, eg. Babel is nearly two years behind. The document is mainly in nynorsk, but has sections in many other languages, both LTR and RTL. I have used Polyglossia up until now. It works of sorts, but not for everything, eg. for bilingual text in a heading.

It seems that @zbMATH has introduced #LLM output into its system. According to https://zbmath.org/static/newsletter/zbNEWS-21.pdf the organisation has used a chatbot to convert OCR output from its first 529 volumes into #TexLaTeX. Disappointing, but perhaps I shouldn't be surprised. It's published by #Springer, after all.

Docker images in the pandoc/latex and pandoc/extra repositories have often had missing packages. The reason was the release of TeXLive 2026 and, what appears to be, a moody archive server for TeXLive 2025.
The “latest” images, which contain the newest pandoc 3.9.0.2, come with TeXLive 2026 and should work fine.Apologies to everybody inconvenienced by this.

Interested in learning how to use LaTeX but don't know where to start?
Want to see how to move away from MS Word and still make professional looking papers?Join us in person in Cologne on April 9th and 10th for a FREE LaTeX workshop presented by DKZ.2R!

@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?
-
Ich habe @DORFTV gerade ein Interview zum Thema TeX in der technischen Dokumentation gegeben. Bin gespannt, was dabei herauskommt.

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.

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.

Nach Jahren des Schreibens mit LaTeX habe ich LyX immer kritisch beäugt, aber nie richtig ausprobiert.
Jetzt habe ich mich mal näher mit LyX beschäftigt und bin ziemlich begeistert. Ich werde es gleich bei einer ersten ernsthaften produktiven Aufgabe verwenden. Bin selber gespannt auf das Ergebnis. -
Die Workshop-Vorbereitungen für die #FDMWerkstatt2026 von @fdm_nrw laufen auf Hochtouren und #Friedhelm ist mit dabei.
Mit Version 1.1.0 gibt es auch Handouts und eine verbesserte Anleitung des Workshops über #ResilientTechnologies . Alles automatisiert dank #TeXLaTeX und #LiterateProgramming

Vielen Dank noch an das Redaktionsteam der #DieTeXnischeKomödie des #DANTEeV für die neue Ausgabe mit interessanten Artikel u.a. zu #oPlotSymbl für die einfache Nutzung von Plot-Symbolen in #TeXLaTeX oder bunten Klammern mit dem Paket #rainbowbrackets.

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

If you try it, feedback would be much appreciated!

@felwert @rasmus91 @dkz2r @thecarpentries This is understanable and I’d say it always depends on what you want to achieve. For a lightweight "just writing some text" I prefer always(!) #Emacs with #org-mode . But in my PhD thesis (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2548872) I did things I was only capable of doing using #TeXLaTeX - it is always a trade of.
I dont know any other tool that would be able to create such data-driven visualizations:

@ericsfraga @mstempl I learned about all three of #Emacs, #TeXLaTeX, and #literateprogramming at the same time in the late 1980s.
The first two always went together, and the third was a dream, a thing only the gods upon Mount Knuth-lympus could do.
Then, much later! Oh happy day! #OrgMode came along, and all three were baked into a warm, delicious pound cake. The tool that decisively allowed me to become a confident Emacs user was to make my config a literate Org document. Inspired by @sacha's example! Having it be a document, structured as an outline, with paragraphs of prose, was just qualitatively different from a monolithic lisp file.
Collapsing outline elements (1) allow fractal movement between a gestalt and detailed view, and (2) impose structure. There is no way to overstate how necessary are both of these for managing even as small a project as my ... HOLY SHIT, I JUST LOOKED, and my config is more than 1,800 lines of code!
Okay, point proved

Für den LaTeX Einsteiger-Kurs an der @vhsdresden am **Dienstag, 21.4. ab 17 Uhr** in #Dresden sind noch Plätze frei.
Der Kurs ist ideal, wenn man am Donnerstag Abend zum #texlatexMeetupDresden keine Zeit hat, oder sich einfach etwas mehr Zeit für den Einstieg nehmen will. -
Bit late, as one of the historic mirrors ran out of space and messed up our workflow:
#TeXLive2025 is now available as historic image via our #IslandOfTeX #docker image registry
registry.gitlab.com/islandoftex/images/texlive:TL2025-historic
So in case you are scared by the changes provided by TeXLive2026, feel free to use it (But please ensure to keep one pipeline running texlive:latest to help testing. Thanks!)

On second day of #Dante2026 @frischefarbe and me had a talk about electronic invoicing and #ZUGFeRD
He was giving an introduction about concepts and regulations. Some of the tools he developed can be found at https://erechnung.berlin/.
The #TeXLaTeX part of this topic was mine. Giving some examples of my own workflow and custom interfaces I developed for customers.
Additionally I got two feature requests during the conference, so there might be another update this week.
