#texlatex — Public Fediverse posts

How do Computational Literary Studies (CLS) have a "disciplineness" that other subfields of DH do not?
And what are us others missing out on because we don't?

Welcome back to hot take hour at the #TeXLaTeX Ninja blog!

Would love to hear your thoughts about processes of (sub-)discipline formation within the #DH or #ComputationalHumanities!

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? 🤔

Traditional TeX users’ favourite band is Computer Modern Talking. ☝️🤓

We finally released #JabRef 5.15 - now with a proper blog post, and this time with correct binaries for intel macs and fixes for #snap users.

This release comes with some nice improvements for #TeXLaTeX users, as can be seen in the video.

And we added experimental support for using #bst styles as Preview.
Despite that, we also did the usual bug fixing and UI improvements

I'm still not out of the rabbit hole of searching for an #OpenSource #PersonalKnowledgeManagement software. 🐰

I'm gonna give a second try to @zettlr tomorrow! Their docs are *surprisingly* user-friendly and they claim to stick to the pure #CommonMark where probable. It's all the while being nice to researchers with citing, inline usage of #TeXLaTeX, #MermaidJS, and pop-over #footnotes. Provision of the simple #PDF export and #Pandoc customization are welcome, too!

But, to be fair, I may be overexaggerating how good #Zettlr is because of my recent disgust with #VendorLocking. In fact, almost anything that closely follows the common spec and is #FreeSoftware might suffice already. Having something as advanced and closer to the roots is certainly refreshing!
