#texlive — Public Fediverse posts

@shom I used #freesoftware to slice up and merge PDFs from various textbooks to produce reading packets. (#TeXLive's #pdfjam, also recommend @pdfarranger).

Took the trouble to get them approved by the copyright compliance police in University Libraries. Been distributing them with a clear conscience and a light heart for many years.

I hope I have students who will remember me the way you remember that teacher of yours.

You know that you are a nerd, when you spent half an hour to get the page number of the index entry for recursion into the displayed pages of the #recursion entry.

At the ConTeXt intro workshop last Wednesday, participants struggled with ConTeXt on the newly released TeX Live 2026.
Not the usual about wrong paths or unwritable cache directories.

ConTeXt was apparently correctly installed, generating the file database and the format was working, but then it couldn’t find the format file if the "context" or "mtxrun" command wasn’t called with its full path.

TeX Live’s processes were changed before this release and something’s broken.

That's three boxes updated to #trixie now. The last one was a bit of a challenge: I run a reasonably full installation on it, including #GNOME and #TeXLive. Two of my partitions, /var and /, were not quite big enough for the installation, so I needed to move some files around.

At least apt advises you and stops if there's insufficient room for the downloads...

Two boxes left, but neither is pure #Debian : #osmc and #RaspberryPiOS (Debian doesn't run on an #RPi5 yet).

Service toot: Just in case you need a reason to update your #TeXLive:

#minted finally release the 3.0.0 which provides an own binary which makes the python/ #pygments setup obsolete. This also drops the requirement of shell-escape (or different hacks) to use the syntax highlighting.

Ensure to not only update the package itself, as you also need to update the settings which allow it to run in restricted mode.

Vi hade en trevlig hackträff idag, där vi pysslade med #TrustedPlatformModule och #refind, #texlive, #PlainTextAccounting i #python med mera. De flesta av oss gick sedan vidare och hängde på @dfupdate

I am glad to announce that the pip package #mkdocs-tex2svg , that renders #maths #variations #tables directly inside mkdocs #markdown files, with the #tikz-tab syntax, natively compatible with both (mkdocs) dark and light modes (as other #LaTeX snippets as well) is now compatible with the new #Archlinux #texlive packages ( #texlive-meta )

Compatible with #gitlab pages and #github pages

Examples Here : https://eskool.gitlab.io/mkhack3rs/maths/tables/examples/

Apparently, you cannot include both packages #PDFX and #hyperxmp - as they do not like each other... Compiled #PDF doesn't look as expected... #texlive #pdfa #latex
