I drafted an enhancement proposal for the recognition and formatting of acronyms, initialisms, and other all-caps sequences (https://github.com/witiko/markdown/issues/615) in the Markdown package. Feedback from users and other stakeholders is welcome: Is this useful to you, does the proposed interface make sense, what potential problems do you see? #LaTeX #TeXLaTeX #Markdown

Although I have discontinued support and further development of the #TeXLaTeX package #marginnote, I have moved development from #github to #Codeberg, created another release, and also uploaded it to #CTAN. #TeXLive has already adopted the new release. The change it contains to column detection in native twocolumn mode comes from TeX.SX user cabohah. A new maintainer is still being sought.

#TeXLaTeX ㊙️

Every day and in every way, my decision to only work in #PlainText (marked up with #Markdown, #HTML, or #TeXLaTeX) is shown to be one of the wisest decisions I have ever made.

(The last version of #MSWord I ever used in a private capacity was #Word97. And when it dropped a whole page of my master's thesis for no reason whatsover, I decided I'd had enough.)

I made a modern version of the Rotula for the 2026-2060 period. A feeling of magic at work when you find that the predicted dates match the ones found on the web, to the nearest day...

My version is made with #TeXLaTeX (TikZ) with some #Python .

I started making paper astronomical models during Covid: I didn't know such nice paper models existed...

As usual, everything you need is available on my website for download. Print & cut out the wheels and follow the instructions on the 12-page PDF. I wrote a user guide in french, and also one in english.

Ich fuchse mich gerade ein bisschen tiefer in #typst ein. Weil: soll ja alles einfacher als LaTeX sein. Finde ich aber auch nicht.

So richtig warm werde ich als alter (sic!) Poweruser von #TeXLaTeX damit nicht.

Ja, es ist schnell, ja es gut konfigurierbar.
Aber die Syntax ist zwar einheitlich, aber halt sehr anders. Und warum wurde nicht ein bekanntes Markup wie textile, Markdown, reStructuredText verwendet, sondern wieder was Eigenes?
