  1. 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.

  2. Look at these lovely vintage style #TeXLaTeX docs by Foad Farimani! Exactly what I needed! (without knowing it...)

  3. Hm cool.
    Es gibt für #texlatex ein Braille Paket.

    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? 🤔

  4. 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!

  9. 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.

  10. #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!

  15. 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.

  20. 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.

  25. Another milestone reached!
    We crossed the 4500 stargazers on #github

    And 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.

  30. 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!

    codeberg.org/paaguti/pdf-ua2-t

    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

  31. 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.

  32. @frischefarbe zeigt im nächsten Mini-Vortrag eine andere Spielerei. Ihr findet sie unter hobby.boxesandglue.dev/ und macht Werbung für #Metapost, was tatsächlich an vielen Stellen etwas mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient hätte.

    Im #TeXConTeXt Umfeld wird es deutlich mehr genutzt, aber bei #TeXLaTeX haben gerade #TikZ & Co mehr Nutzung.

    Le résultat (plus complet) est disponible en image.

  42. Small discoveries.

    The LaTeX \multicolumn command has as its second parameter 'align', and all the online manuals that I have found just say that it can be l, c, or r.

    emerson.emory.edu/services/lat

    I tried '@{}l' to get the content left-aligned flush without any white space, as you do at the start of the format string in the tabular header.

    Guess what: it works. As it should, see Lamport pp. 62 and 206.
