Stephen RoyleTwo rounds of review for this manuscript. I hope we don't go to a third because my <a href="https://biologists.social/tags/TeXLaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TeXLaTeX</a> skills don't stretch to making another layer of indentation for the rebuttal letter.<a href="https://biologists.social/tags/HeSaidSheSaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HeSaidSheSaid</a> <a href="https://biologists.social/tags/LifeOfPI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LifeOfPI</a>

Tammy KoldaMilestone/Nerd Alert: I've created 2⁵-1 YouTube videos about TikZ and PGFPLOTS at @UnlockingLaTeXGraphics. For those who don't know, TikZ and PGFPLOTS are tools for creating beautiful graphics directly within your LaTeX documents. The learning curve is arguably steep, but the payoff is immense. With these videos, I'm hoping to make it easier for more people to use these tools. I've also written a book with the same name. Check it out and share with your network. Thanks! <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/texlatex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#texlatex</a> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/@UnlockingLaTeXGraphics" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/@UnlockingLaTeXGraphics</a>

Jürgen Hubert<a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritersCoffeeClub</a> 6. Do you edit while writing, or go wild and fix it later?My writing and editing process is:1. Write the first draft of my translation on my e-ink tablet. This will have quite a few mistakes, and I often don't bother to look up some of the more complex words.2. Do a first round of editing on my desktop PC at least one day later. I try to get this cleaned up as much as possible.3. Proofread the text on my _other_ e-ink tablet, at least one day after Step 2. Correct any mistakes and improve anything else I can find. Schedule this text for my Patreon page.4. Some time later, typeset the text with <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/TeXLaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TeXLaTeX</a> . I will usually find a few problems at this stage as well, which I will correct.5. _Much_ later, I will assemble individual translations into a larger book, which will get _three_ further rounds of proofreading (two by me, one by a copywriter) as well as feedback from alpha and beta readers.In other words, editing is a continual process that accompanies all other steps of writing.Yet I _still_ have accumulated a bunch of errata which I want to include in future printings...

Ralf S.<a href="https://troet.cafe/@jonathan859" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jonathan859</a> Leider bekommen es nicht alle Ersteller hin, ihre PDFs sauber zu taggen. Oder sie exportieren Text als Grafik in ein PDF. Ist auch eine Katastrophe. Wenn Leute ihre Texte im Text- und Layoutprogramm sauber auszeichnen würden, hätten wir barrierefreie PDFs. Die Programm können es. Und auch <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TeXLaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TeXLaTeX</a> wird jetzt endlich fitgemacht.

Marei[1/3] <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DANTE2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DANTE2025</a> Friday starts with “Storytelling with Frank [Mittelbach]”. He admits that it took a while for himself to realize how bad we treated users relying on assisting technology like screen readers! He tries to give a rough overview of this impression by playing screen reader recordings of an untagged document compared to the work the tagging-project did so far. The examples can be found at <a href="https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/documentation/wtpdf/fulldoc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/documentation/wtpdf/fulldoc</a><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/a11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#a11y</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/TeXLaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TeXLaTeX</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/LaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaTeX</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/TeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TeX</a>

MareiAfterwards Erik Braun roughly explained the technical infrastructure and changes of last year to cleanup the historically grown server blob. A lot of stuff was improved but there still is a lot of work left and <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/CTAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CTAN</a> is once again asking for volunteers.So in case you have too much free time or always wanted to clean up, automate or document old infrastructure… You are welcome to join them!

Marei<a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DANTE2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DANTE2025</a> is starting at the University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt. Mr. Lion and me are extremly curious about discussions and expecting a boost concerning tagging and accesibility of <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/TeXLaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TeXLaTeX</a>.We already realized yesterday, that there is too little time for all the projects we are working on… but … we are all trying our best.I will try to sum up the talks below this.<a href="https://chaos.social/tags/TeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TeX</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/LaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaTeX</a>

MareiEN in first answer.Die <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DANTE2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DANTE2025</a> startet an der Hochschule Darmstadt. Der Löwe und ich sind startklar gespannt auf die Diskussionen. Vermutlich wieder viel zu tagging und Barrierefreiheit. Gestern beim Vorabendtreff haben wir schon festgestellt, dass alle hier noch viel zu viel Dinge getan haben wollten… aber leider hat der Tag nur 24h … aber wir bleiben dran.Unter diesem Toot versuche ich wieder etwas die Vorträge zusammenzufassen.<a href="https://chaos.social/tags/TeXLaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TeXLaTeX</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/TeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TeX</a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/LaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaTeX</a>
