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.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? 🤔 -
#JabRef team is on fire, with only 4 issues letf to fix for the beta release!
#javafx #opensource #javafx
#teXLaTeX #bibtex #bibliography #freesoftware #freesoftware -
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!

#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!Read more in the blog post:

You have PDFs that are just scans and want to search in them?
Thanks to Zeyad who worked on this during #GSOC2026, JabRef now has an #OCR feature. The OCR is done by an external tool, but the results are ingested back in JabRef and are available through the full-text search.
You can try this out in the latest dev version and hopefully soon in the beta.For more info on the new feature, read the blog post:

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 ! 🙏

Are you doing #SLR aka Systematic Literature Reviews?
Two contributors, Faneesh and Loay, worked this summer on improving JabRef's SLR feature.
The key change is the addition of a new native query mode; e.g., you can now formulate such queries for each catalog, and JabRef will send them directly to the website. And for reproducibility, JabRef will store all sent queries.

Another milestone reached!
We crossed the 4500 stargazers on #githubAnd we are close to another milestone, the 6.0-beta. We worked hard and worked on improvements and bug fixes across JabRef. For example, we revamped the entry editor to make it easier to add/remove fields.
Curious? Try out the latest dev version and see for yourself!

I updated my phone/tablet-sized PDF version of Edward Gibbon’s ‘Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’: https://archive.org/details/gibbon_declineandfall
Previously there were some rough edges: a few awkward spacings and line breaks, some pushing side-headings out of position. I think these are all resolved now, but I might have missed some among the 3858 pages. :-)
LuaLaTeX source code: https://codeberg.org/ajcain/gibbon_declineandfall
The code uses the interfaces created by the LaTeX tagging project, so it is an accessible #TaggedPDF. The font is @mc_wiki’s beautiful Garamontio.

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.

Anzeichen, an denen man erkennt, dass eine studentische Arbeit mutmaßlich mit KI-Unterstützung geschrieben wurde oder Medienkompetenz komplett fehlt, Teil 73:
Auf der Titelseite wurde das Fakultätslogo aus der eingescannten Aufgabenstellung als schiefe Rastergrafik genutzt, obwohl man das Logo natürlich auch auf der Webseite (https://www.cd.ovgu.de/Fakult%C3%A4ten/Elektrotechnik+und+Informationstechnik.html) oder sogar ganz einfach in unserer #TeXLaTeX-Vorlage (https://de.overleaf.com/latex/templates/guidance-on-the-preparation-of-degree-theses/zvbvgkspxsvh) findet.

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

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

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.

I made a little extension to my Python-based LaTeX math renderer so it can be used to draw equations and Sympy expressions directly in the terminal as sixel graphics. Install with `pip install sixelmath` and give it a try! (in a sixel-supported terminal, of course).

The interactive calculation sheet for #engineering, based on #emacs, #orgmode, #texlatex and #sympy is available in English [1], although the blog article is in German [2]. The template is also in English [3].
#Orgmode is so impressive, you could use #maxima, #octave, #gnuplot, #graphviz and almost 40 other languages with all their libraries right out of the box [4].
Have fun!
