I wrote a guide on creating fully reproducible, PDF/A-compliant documents using LaTeX. By following this tutorial, you'll get to learn how to make archival grade documents that are worthy of long-term digital preservation.

C’était un super Week-End au Capitole du Libre !

Merci à toutes et tous celleux que j’y ai croisé ce week-end et nos échanges toujours très intéressants.

Les diapositives pour ma présentation sur @CryptPad sont disponibles à l’adresse suivante : https://cryptpad.fr/file/#/2/file/B2+sAbwxmnviF39YPMuTijcr/

(Faites avec #typst si vous vous posez la question, et les manchots mignons sont générées en #LaTeX standalone à l’aide de https://ctan.org/pkg/tikzpingus)

Maintenant, remplaçons #LaTeX avec #TypSt https://typst.app/

Vais-je faire mes slides pour SplinterCon avec TypSt ? (Pour Capitole du Libre, c'est trop tard.)

Apropos of nothing, this is a project I started some time ago. Due to the community’s lack of interest and financial support, I kind of stopped…just testing the waters for it again.

https://codeberg.org/IDEmacs/IDEmacs

IDEmacs aims to be a set of #Emacs configurations which provide an out-of-the-box experience similar (if not identical) to popular GUI IDEs and editors.

It is aimed at…

1. Programmers coming to Emacs from other IDEs, or even first-time programmers familiar with only office applications.

2. Beginner #CommonLisp and #Scheme programmers, who need the functionality of Emacs (Sly/Geiser + structural editing) without having to perform unnecessary setup and without dealing with an alien style of keybindings. In other words, similar to Portacle or Guile Studio.

3. Non-programmers who want a fully-featured #Org, #Markdown, or #LaTeX editor with idiomatic shortcuts and mouse-friendly GUI.

It aims to provide…

1. GUI and mouse support, in addition to a keyboard-driven interface.

   • Unlike most starter kits, we do not hide GUI elements by default.

   • We support configuration via the custom GUI, not just Elisp

   • If resources allow, we may implement new GUIs in Emacs

2. Keybindings that follow popular GUI and IDE conventions.

   • CUA mode is just the start - much more keybinding configuration is needed to provide an unsurprising experince. And that’s before we even get to the IDE-specific keybindings.

   • This excludes starter kits that use Evil by default, such as Spacemacs or Doom.

3. A fully-featured, fast, and configuration-free Emacs experience, like any starter kit/distro.

   • The configuration uses idiomatic Elisp and contains a generous amount of comments, valuable to anyone interested in learning to configure Emacs using Elisp.

Perfectly imitating the GUIs and subtle behaviour differences of IDEs is desirable, but not top priority. Given our limited resources, we aim for “good enough”.

We hope this gives new users a comfortable starting point, and make them more likely to stick around to discover the possibilities of Emacs’ malleability, rather than being driven off by the default experience.
