#TeXLaTeX

After updating my #TeXLaTeX installation, it became clear that I had recently neglected sacrificing the required black goat at midnight.

But after fiddling around for a few hours, my files compile once more. One more thing I managed to finish before Yuletide.

I just released moloch 2.1.0, with support for configuring the style of the title page!

At the moment, I've added two styles beyond the default: one mimicking the standard beamer style and one that uses a split style (see below).

Full release notes are available at https://github.com/jolars/moloch/releases/tag/v2.1.0

#texlatex #beamer #presentations

One of the new title pages of moloch, which uses a split layout.

Dans cette nouvelle séquence, nous allons composer un graphique TikZ avec une variable calculée avec la commande \pgfmathsetmacro. Cette commande permet d'évaluer et de stocker une variable directement utilisable par la suite dans le graphique TikZ. Vous aurez aussi accès aux fonctions mathématiques, aux opérateurs et aux constantes de PGFMath.

#TeXLaTeX

Small update to my (unofficial) #LuaLaTeX package "minos". Mostly small changes for consistency, with one substantial fix to typesetting the table of contents (The problem only arose when neither hyperref nor tagging-compatible code were being used.)

Git repository: https://codeberg.org/ajcain/minos

Download documentation or source .zip/.tar.gz: https://codeberg.org/ajcain/minos/releases

To see what "minos" can do, look at ‘Form & Number: A History of Mathematical Beauty’ [https://archive.org/details/cain_formandnumber_ebook_large], ‘An Annotated Mathematician's Apology’ [https://archive.org/details/hardy_annotated], or ‘Nine Chapters on the Semigroup Art’ [https://archive.org/details/cain_semigroups_a4_screen]. (All freely available under #CreativeCommons licences.)

#TeXLaTeX #typography

The first page of the documentation for the "minos" LuaLaTeX package. The main title is ‘minos’, shown oversized and in red. The subtitle is ‘The package used to create “Form & Number”, “An Annotated Mathematician’s Apology”, “Nine Chapters on the Semigroup Art”.’

I have been perusing some beautifully typeset notes for three lectures on logic that @consequently shared recently: https://consequently.org/handouts/whl-l.pdf (sample pages attached)

The document has a very elegant combination of fonts (all freely available under the Open Font Licence):

• Alegraya ht for the body text [https://huertatipografica.com/en/fonts/alegreya-ht-pro];

• Alegraya Sans ht for the sidenotes and headings [https://huertatipografica.com/en/fonts/alegreya-sans-ht];

• AMS Euler for mathematics [exists in various versions, e.g. https://ctan.org/pkg/euler-math].

The layout is compact without being overly dense and the sidenotes are cleanly separated from the main text by colour and font.

I *think* the "ebproof" package [https://ctan.org/pkg/ebproof] was used for the proof trees. (Please correct me if I am wrong, @consequently)

I understand that my own package "marginalia" [https://ctan.org/pkg/marginalia] was used to create the sidenotes — and seeing it contribute in a small way to beautiful results like this is part of what makes package creation worthwhile. :-)

Beschleicht dich manchmal das Gefühl, dass #Textverarbeitung mit Word oder Libreoffce sperrig ist und oft sehr fragile Ergebnisse liefert?

Schonmal versucht in einem Dokument, dieses eine Bild nur ein kleines Stückchen zu schieben und **BÄNG** ist das gesamte #Layout kaputt?

Und dann wenn das Dokument dann doch irgendwann mal (auf den letzten Drücker) fertig ist, wirkt es doch irgendwie langweilig?

Dann ist LaTeX für deine Dokumente (und deinen Anspruch) die bessere Lösung.
