TeXhackse, to TeX German

OH: Warum sollte man eine Tagung in Saarbrücken abhalten, wenn man das auch in Weimar machen kann.

Grüße aus dem Festsaal des Gothe Nationalmuseums in Weimar vom Start der . Bin gespannt auf das Programm zu , , & Friends

TeXhackse,

Es ist schön zu sehen, dass es mittlerweile immer mehr Bewegung in Rchtung bei gibt:

Axel Strübing stellt die Entwicklung der @letexml auf Lua-Basis für tagging vor. Der Ansatz ist anders als der des LaTeX-Tagging-Projekts.Dateien finden sich mit im zuvor genannten CoCoTeX Repo.

TeXhackse,

Bleibt beim Thema Ulrike Fischer aus dem Project stellt den aktuellen Stand des Tagging Projekts vor https://github.com/latex3/tagging-project

Nach wie vor sind sie dankbar für Rückmeldungen und fordern nochmal explizit zur Unterstützung durch Paket und Klassenautor*innen auf.

Ich muss dann wohl doch mal meine KOMA-Tagging Demo-Experimente veröffentlichen… Wahrscheinlich würde das auch einfach helfen, mehr auszuprobieren. Ich versuch mich zu überwinden.

TeXhackse, to TeX German

So, wir sind startklar.

Falls ihr zufällig das eine oder andere TeXnische Problemchen oder Fragen habt und auf den unterwegs seid, gerne beim DANTE Stand vorbeikommen.

@fiee, @Moss_the_TeXie und ich können meistens weiterhelfen.

I feel that my next frontier of hacker learning is . It feels (at least from the distance I'm at right now) like the next level in text formatting and publishing. I have a feeling it might be as revolutionary as when I learned after using nano/gedit for years.

For a person who doesn't write "publishing" documents very often, is it worthy?

@Anselm thanks for the suggestion of the book. I also think it's going to be a real eye-opener in terms of hacker-value, just don't know exactly how to start :D

@kzimmermann The last time I really needed (La)TeX was in university, and it’s been pretty helpful back then.

However, these days, as a senior dev, I don’t really need it anymore. Nothing I write ends up on paper or in PDFs anymore, everything is in code repos and ticket systems, so all I’m writing these days is Markdown.

If it’s interesting to you, don’t let me keep you from learning it though! It can be rough to get certain things working, but if you learned Vim, you can do this too ;)

Hugo v0.122.0 just released! LaTeX or TeX typsetting syntax directly from Markdown using standard syntax ... and more.

Kto pisał dokumenty w LaTeX, ten wie, że przypomina to miłość (nie seks, on jest alegorią dla innych metod składu 😜 ): i słodko, i gorzko, rozkosz wielka i ból nie mniejszy, za to wiernie, stale i spolegliwie.
Ale LaTeX miał (i ma) poważne słabości, bo nie przeskoczył do natywnego Unikodu, ani nie przyjął aktualnych standardów fontów (TTF/OTF) - stąd też i ból. A LaTeX_3e w bólach się rodzi i narodzić nie może

Ale od paru lat rozwija się projekt SILE https://sile-typesetter.org/, który pełnymi garściami czerpie z LaTeXa, ale zaczyna tam, dokąd ten jeszcze się nie doczołgał. Polecam sprawdzić.

@deshipu Nie miałem, obił mi się o oczy, ale nie przeglądałem. Na SILE trafiłem przypadkiem, szukając opcji do zbudowania dokumentu testującego nowy font - i okazało się, że TeX ma poważne wymagania extra, o których dotychczas w ogóle nie wiedziałem :O Dzięki, popaczę. BTW - SILE też jest w Lua.

Le saviez-vous ? (moi pas, je découvre, and I think it's beautiful)

Le système libre de composition de documents ne suit pas une progression croissante dans sa numérotation de version.
En effet, depuis la version 3, les mises à jour sont indiquées en ajoutant une décimale supplémentaire, s'approchant ainsi toujours un peu plus de π, et donc de la stabilité absolue, à chaque itération.

La dernière version est la 3.141592653 et elle date de janvier 2021.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX

jaco,

@framaka @Grumpfff Et les numéros de versions de Metafont (le langage utilisé pour décrire les fontes utilisées par TeX) suivent les décimales de e…
La dernière est la 2.71828182

@fgrosshans@mathstodon.xyz avatar

@jaco @framaka @Grumpfff Et XeTeX suit la même stratégie, mais avec une autre constante importante : son numéro de version actuel est 0.9999

I learned on Thursday that can now invoke directly. The command I use is

latexmk -e '$pdf_previewer = q/start evince/' -xelatex -pvc -quiet document.tex

(Some people add %O %S after evince, but those are unnecessary in my case.)

The command runs xelatex, creates a pdf, and opens it in ; and it continues running so that any change in document.tex appears in Evince shortly after it is saved.

I've also created an command to run the process.

@gemlog Doing this by hand, I write a little note to explain the purpose of the calculation, what design codes are applicable, and the source of inputs; I include a sketch; and then the calculation itself. This is a simple design note, an engineering document that must be reviewed, signed, dated and archived.

is a literate programming system, allowing me to mix notes, images and calculations. I can redefine my span length as L=9' and have it update the other calculations automatically.

@gemlog Emacs I use not as an IDE, but just as a text editor, first as an interface to Jupyter and then for minor edits to the .tex file Jupyter exports. The result is a very nice-looking pdf which I can either archive as such or print for physical archiving.

4/4

Guy complaining about the ragged2e package being extremly slow.

Luckily someone else was nice enough to report that bug so I was able to fix it 6 months ago and could blame that guy for not updating :P

I know most people don't do regular #TeXLive updates. But there might reasons that there were more than 1.4k updates publsihed on CTAN in 2022. So please ensure you're on the latest version before complaining.

Thanks.

TeXhackse,

@ljrk @LupinoArts Luckily we (at the Island) are also working on improving that, but great to hear that we can already help with the Images :)

@TeXhackse @LupinoArts Very much so! I use them all from ConTeXt/LMTX to LaTeX and it's so nice to have one streamlined installation flow :)

If x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in Z$, then $(x_{n},x_1,\ldots,x_{n-1})\in Q.

Editing TeX files is fun. You get to do fun things like find the verbs in this sentence. 🙃
