Okay, now this is important. Drop everything you're doing, because Tom7 has released a new video. And oh boy, is it wonderful. 20 minutes won't save your life - and this video demands you sacrifice that time. Now!
The best thing about working with #LaTeX is the sense of accomplishment you feel after finally completing that task you thought would be trivially simple.
Is there any developer out there who is working on #GTK4/#libadwaita GUI editor for typesetting documents in #latex/#typst. As much as I love them, modal editors like #vim/#helix are not for me.
Step 1: Hey, let's not use Microsoft and Google to collaborate remotely, let's use our university's #Nextcloud with #onlyoffice.
Step 2: Shit, that Onlyoffice is WYSIWYG, and those are a pain in the arse, even if they are Free Software. They force me to use a mouse and don't separate semantic structure from look & feel.
Step 3: Okay, never mind, use whatever you like. Just send me a PDF export of your part once you are finished, and I will glue it together with my #LaTeX slides with pdftk.
@zeitgenosse I saw an article recently which claimed that markdown/orgmode is hard to get to work with realtime collaborators. Don't know to what degree that might be true.
@linos I think that Discord (“all our content is belog to us!”) has a pretty good solution. You can type Markdown and it will convert to WYSIWYG in real time; but at the same time, you can also use buttons to achieve the same effects.
The bad news is that this would probably clash with both Gender*Sternchen and Gender_Gap.
So, I guess the “just you do you and send me a finished pdf and we'll glue it together” solution is the least painful for all parties involved.
Getting Greek characters to display properly in a PDF generated from Markdown with Pandoc has caused some frustration today - here's what eventually worked for me:
Use xelatex instead of pdflatex:
pandoc --pdf-engine=xelatex
Use Linux Liberatine O as the font in your Markdown metadata:
mainfont: "Linux Libertine O"
I'm a bit sad that I can't use Palatino, which I think is a nicer font, but Linux Libertine 'just worked' and is free (as in beer and speech).
@penguin42 I don't think so - the problem isn't that the characters don't look right, but that xelatex (and pdflatex) won't even compile because they don't recognise Περικλῆς.
@drj Thanks. I think I might need to do some work to get it looking right in LaTeX (some words are really off, like 'introduction') but the Greek rendering is nicer than Linux Libertine.
@Aznorth Hello,
je dirais bien Ghost, très (très) simple à prendre en main, utilisant Markdown, assez joli et pas du tout geek (enfin, y'a besoin d'un geek pour l'installation si self-host, puis plus du tout).
Il faut simplement désactiver dès le début les features de monétisation (newsletter, abonnements payants), pratique pour un journal mais inutiles pour un blog, puis c'est parfait.
Ah, et la prochaine version s'intégrera au Fediverse.
Question #Latex: est ce que c'est possible de reprendre toutes les footnotes du document, sur une page récap à la fin ?
Attention, je veux qu'elles soient également présentes sur la page où elles sont (je vois des packages qui permettent de les déplacer vers la fin, mais sans les garder sur la page)
(dans une présentation Beamer)
Edit: en fait je n'ai sans doute pas besoin de footnotes, mais plutôt de passer par biblatex pour une biblio. Je vais tester ça.
