Showcase of beautiful typography done in TeX & friends These are all beautiful examples. No one can argue that Latex/Tex produces the best printed material. The problem though, printed matter is so 1990's. Knowledge, information and data is moving to the web. Use of actual printed books is decreasing exponentially as everything is moving to the web, online and interactive and digital. Converting Latex to the web is its weakest point. Other technologies now can produce almost as good publication directly to the web (HTML5+CSS3+Mathjax+Javascript) where one can easily use it. Latex community still thinks that printed material is the future.... |

Missing $ inserted - did I make something wrong? You can't use '\textbf' inside math mode. See tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1328/… and tex.stackexchange.com/questions/595/… |

dvipng error when using htlatex on eps file. includegraphics Unrecoverable error 36096 Thanks. I did not know there was eps with preview and one without it. I was simply using the Mathematica UI, and selecting the image on the screen, then right-click and selecting save as EPS. There was no option for preview or no preview. I changed now the way I am exporting the image and instead of using the UI and the mouse, now I export the image using the command Export["mma_e1.eps", plot] and now the eps file worked fine with htlatex ! the preview part is gone. (How a user was supposed to know this difference?). Now I know and will export images using the export command from now on. |

Are \( and \) preferable to dollar signs for math mode? "$math$" is much much easier to write and also read. I do not understand how anyone can think that forcing us to use "\( math \)" will make Latex "better" for the end users. With "\(....\)" one also can get them mixed up. Please keep the option to use "$ math $". Latex is hard enough without adding more ((( ))) to it. |

How was TeX output visualised on screen, back in the day? @egreg @RyanReich : On Chiwriter. It is interesting that the Author of Chiwrite (a well respected and known author as well), did not think Tex will actually succeed at the time. see horstmann.com/ChiWriter and search for the string There are three reasons why I believe TeX has a limited future. and what follows on that page for why he thought so. I found that very interesting to read. |

How to practice LaTeX? I do not know if anyone else mentioned this site, but writelatex.com is a really nice site. It allows one to write complete Latex document online and compile it online and publish it. Here is for an example one I was looking at using Tikz. writelatex.com/168142qpwzfg .This seems like a good way to learn Latex online for one starting without having to deal with full latex installation on their PC. |

How to practice LaTeX? There are few good online latex editors, where one can type in Latex code and see the result right away. They make it easy to quickly learn Latex this way since no download and installation and any setup is needed. Just google "online latex" and you will some. No setup is needed. You just type something and see the result below that. This is what I do something to check something quickly. Btw, for me, when I write something with lots of math in it, I use Scientific word (it is a GUI interface which generates Latex, like Lyx). If the document have little math, then I using text editor. |

How was TeX output visualised on screen, back in the day? somewhat related, there used to be a program called chiwriter, for typesetting math, back in the days. Here is a web page that shows it on a computer screen: nomdo.dds.nl/cw.htm , this program is no longer around any more. |

conversion issues using htlatex and MathJax/mathML method But how would this solution be incorporated in the workflow that I have? I simply have source .tex file and also configuration file .cfg that I can change, and htlatex ofcourse. I can't be editing HTML files by hand each time and fix things after each build? I do not use Mathjax directly myself. htlatex generated the mathml file itself such that it uses MathJax to render things somehow. So any fix I need to do, must be done during compiling the latex file by htlatex and not after that. It seems you think there is a bug in htlatex then? Should I report this as htlatex bug? thanks. |
