Later I used #LibreOffice and #Zotero, because it was easier to handle at some parts. And I use LibO unto this day - it‘s an important tool for my daily work and I couldn‘t do it especially without #Calc.

But for texts I tend to use #Markdown and use #LibreOffice for output. Maybe i could as well use pandoc to generate some #XeTeX files and see what I get out of it?

In any case: If ever had to write anything regarding humanities again, I would pick it up again.

I came across this factory yesterday in Holmen, Wisconsin. I wonder if they do Unicode typesetting there. #XeTeX #TeX

Si vous avez des infos sur "comment utiliser des caractères non-ASCII dans un environnement verbatim en (|La|Xe)TeX dans un beamer", je prends ! Je suis actuellement en train de m'arracher les cheveux dessus.
Plus précisément, je dois présenter, dans un beamer, du code Lean4 (donc présentant des caractères pas ASCII, genre des lettres grecques , des flèches, ∀,∧, …). Pour l'instant : j'utilise #XeTeX, le package verbatim et j'arrive pas à définir la font à utiliser.
:boost_requested:
P.S.: j'utilise pas listings parce que la syntaxe Lean4 est pas définie et que ça a l'air de casser beamer.

@nikitonsky Current #XeTeX is 0.999992. That is 999992 shameful releases.

News about #LaTeX from Joseph Wright: #LuaTeX is the recommended system, and #XeTeX is not recommended. #pdfTeX is still supported, but it is better to start new projects with luaTeX. Full news in the link below. #TexLaTeX

2) Harfbuzz 8.0 introduces a #Wasm shaper, that allows #WebAssembly to be embedded in a #font file. https://www.phoronix.com/news/HarfBuzz-8.0

3) It's only a matter of time until someone embeds a #cryptominer in a font file.

Quelqu'un pour me rappeler comment, avec #XeTex, faire en sorte que mes espaces insécables soient reconnus et gérés correctement (au lieu d'afficher "ă ") ?
