Rethinking TeX in STEM (talks)
- Date: 29 September 2022
- Time: 6:30 to 8:30pm (UK Time)
The video above gives just the talks. For the interesting and lively discussion afterward watch the video here.
This special meeting of the TeX Hour was fortunate to have three special guests:
- Peter Williams spoke about Tectonic
- Martin Ruckert spoke about HINT
- Dennis Müller spoke about sTeX
Here’s a brief introduction to these new and interesting systems:
- Semantic TeX (sTeX) provides a LaTeX environment that captures both the appearance and meaning of mathematical writing, and provides both PDF and semantic HTML5 output.
- HINT provides a standard for and software to typeset and view typeset material that can be reflowed and repaginated under the reader’s control.
- Tectonic repackages and develops XeTeX to provide an improved user and developer experience, and high quality HTML5 output for readers (in addition to PDF).
This TeX Hour had two parts. The first hour was presentations followed by a panel discussion.The second hour was a lively and friendly discussion with about 12 participants. You can watch the video here.
