  1. In nicht allzulanger Zeit (am 24.9.), am letzten Donnerstag im Monat ist in #Dresden wieder LaTeX-Zeit.

    📅 24.09.2026
    🕕️ 18 Uhr
    🌍️ @slubdresden Zebtralbibliothek, Raum 0.46

    Wer irgendwas mit Dokumenten macht (und dabei ernst genommen werden will) wird an irgendeiner Ausprägung vom wahrscheinlich besten #Dokumentsatz|system nicht herumkommen.

    Sei es eine Abschlussarbeit, ein wissenschaftlicher Text, eine Präsentation oder ein Lebenslauf (oder was ganz was anderes). Es gilt stets:
    „Lieber schöne Dokumente statt Word-Gefrickel“.

    Aber wo und wie anfangen?

    Für den Einstieg gibt es das #TeXLaTeXMeetupDresden
    Everyone is welcome.

  2. Vielen Dank an das Redaktionsteam der #DieTeXnischeKomödie vom #DANTEeV für die neueste Ausgabe 3/2026 u.a. mit interessanten Buchvorstellungen von "Drucksachen gestalten mit #ConTeXt und #LuaMETATeX" von @fiee sowie dem #TeXLaTeX Beginner's Guide von Stefan Kottwitz.

  3. 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!

  4. 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 → lmdbt.forge.apps.education.fr/

    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 ! 🙏

  5. 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 (cd.ovgu.de/Fakult%C3%A4ten/Ele) oder sogar ganz einfach in unserer #TeXLaTeX-Vorlage (de.overleaf.com/latex/template) findet.

  6. ‘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

  7. 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].

  8. ‘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

  9. 8/

    Beim Schreiben kurzer mathematischer Inline-Blöcke mit #TeXLaTeX fällt mir auf, dass durch #Typora keine Reaktion auf `$...$` erfolgt. In der nachfolgenden Pause gelingt es mir, dieses Feature in den Einstellungen von Typora zu aktivieren. Ab jetzt kann ich „Alpha- und Betastrahlung“ mit den richtigen griechischen Buchstaben schreiben.
