Aatheus<p>Wish I had a <a href="https://batchats.net/tags/latex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>latex</span></a> pit crew <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws1hWlAwrdY" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=Ws1hWlAwrdY</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Elio Campitelli<p>Well, fuck this. I reinstalled everything, changed CTAN mirrors and this is still not working. I swear that not a single time I wanted to use <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaTeX</span></a> I could render stuff without the most bizarre issues from the start.</p>
Elio Campitelli<p>Ah, yes, the Joy of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaTeX</span></a>. 😭</p>
onipa 🇬🇭📖Currently appreciating the beauty of JSON (and its mascot?)<br> <br> I'm working on a little project a lexicon/dictionary called texdict.py (name suggestions welcome). The <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/python?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#python</a> script attempts to convert a <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/TeXLaTeX?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TeXLaTeX</a> file with glossaries commands (<a href="https://ctan.org/pkg/glossaries" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://ctan.org/pkg/glossaries</a>) and some extra commands (which might be released under texdict.sty (or similar name)) into JSON format and vice-versa. JSON is so nice because it's human readable and computer readable. <br> <br> Do you know of any <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/LaTeX?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LaTeX</a> packages and or <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/JSON?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JSON</a> based libraries related to <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/dictionaries?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dictionaries</a> or <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lexicon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lexicon</a><br> <br> Also, I thought about using the texdict.sty file as the only source of truth for the tex2json and json2tex mapping, but haven't figured it out yet. Any leads would be highly appreciated 🖤📖💽

mirek kratochvil<p>So I made a tool for managing little changes in code&amp;text and it seems to run well enough now, so sharing.</p><p>The diff is like from `git diff --word-diff`, but you can automerge same-line edits, retain spacing&amp;indentation from a selected version, and send the small edits around as patches.

Biloti :Ryyca: :verified_ps:<p>Na academia, pelo menos nas exatas, talvez mais na matemática e na física, enfim, era comum todos serem fluentes em LaTeX. Aí veio o Overleaf para agilizar principalmente a edição compartilhada de documentos. Novas gerações já nasceram nesse ambiente e já não sabem mais LaTeX, só Overleaf. Fazem cada lambança sem terem a menor noção. <br><a href="https://ursal.zone/tags/LaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaTeX</span></a></p>

Tyler Smith<p>Emacs org-mode includes the function `org-latex-preview`, which provides image overlays for LaTeX formulas in the buffer. As it turns out, it mostly works in non-org-mode buffers. It does throw warnings. I have suppressed them with this little wrapper:</p><p>```<br>(defun tws-latex-preview (&amp;optional ARG)<br> (interactive "P")<br> (let ((warning-minimum-level ':error))<br> (org-latex-preview ARG)))<br>```</p><p>Not rigorously tested, but seems to work for making pretty comments in my source code.</p><p><a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>emacs</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/orgmode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>orgmode</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/latex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>latex</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rstats</span></a></p>
