@Purplegengar25 this is *not* the best introduction to the software, but it is a video I greatly enjoyed on the subject from the wonderful Angela Collier (PhD in Physics, etc.):

Github is nowadays a f***ing joke… in any repository it is easy to find messages like not being able to fetch the last commit, or not being able to show issues for a repository… or not being able to render the README in Markdown… What the Actual F?

ps. Doing this because I'm trying to find out how to make the LaTeX bundle operational in TextMate… I know there are some instructions around, so if you can help…

Je retrouve avec plaisir mes fiches d'exercices en TeX. 😊

À force de me plonger ces derniers temps dans le HTML, le CSS et le JavaScript, j'avais presque oublié à quel point j'aimais mettre en forme un document en LaTeX.

Retrouver mes petites macros, TikZ, ajuster les espacements, faire rentrer tout ça proprement sur la page... Ça m'avait manqué. 😅

Quelles sont les bonnes pratiques en 2026 en matière de rédaction en #LaTeX ?

Je dois préparer un gros dossier et je profite de l'occasion pour m'y remettre (je suis en SHS et tout se fait en .docx/.odt) mais je réalise que je suis bien rouillé et j'oscille entre le faire nativement dans #Overleaf ou travailler dans #Obsidian et utiliser #Pandoc pour l'exportation en PDF (ou en LaTeX et ensuite faire des ajustements dans un éditeur tiers ?). Je vais avoir beaucoup d'entrées bibliographiques pour ma liste de publications (toutes recensées dans #Zotero), des notes de bas de page, etc. J'ai l'impression que si je me lance à l'aveugle, je vais devoir changer plusieurs fois de stratégie 🤔

Other than #LibreWriter, I'm fascinated to know about #LaTex editors on #Linux. As a social science person, I didn't know about it. It seems many in the field of math and biology, for example, have been using it as the standard. Even though I had biologist colleagues, they never mentioned it. I'm practising on #LaTex currently, but unfortunately in my field it will be the PDFs that are useful, I also could be asked to submit a Word document.

#texmaker bricht viel zu früh um. Jetzt steht auf der 2. Seite ein Satz, während fast die halbe 1. Seite leer ist.

Dafür habe ich keine Zeit!!!

Jetzt muss ich für den einen Brief schnell #libreoffice installieren, auf das ich eigentlich verzichten will.

Diese Kleinigkeiten mit großer Wirkung gehen mir derartig auf die Nerven!

Où je découvre https://plmlatex.math.cnrs.fr, un service hébérgé au @cnrs , ouvert à tout l'ESR français, qui propose l'édition LaTeX collaborative souveraine à l'ESR, grâce au socle libre d'Overleaf.

Bravo et merci ! 👏

@Tutanota Perfect time for people to jump ship and upgrade to LaTeX which is free and open source. It can do everything MS Word and PowerPoint can do and about a million things more and you can choose your editor. This is a decision you will never regret.

Or if you just want a free and open source alternative, or need the full office suite, then there's Libre Office.

As always, screw Microsoft.

So these were the steps:

1) I created an `\adsalmaurl` command where the part of the URL that contains `%` characters is after `\detokenizer`, while keeping the closing braces in the next line.

```latex
\newcommand{\adsalmaurl}{
https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/search/q=%5Cdetokenize%7B%2528%2528%2528abs%253AALMA%2529%2520AND%2520year%253A1996-2026%2529%2520AND%2520property%253Arefereed%2529%2520AND%2520collection%253Aastronomy
}}
```

2) Once the `\adsalmaurl` command is created, I can use it inside `\href`, but just in case it could have some interactions with `\footnote` I also created a new command:

```latex
\newcommand{\adsalmaquery}{\href{\adsalmaurl}{\small{\texttt{(((abs:ALMA) AND year:1996-2026) AND property:refereed) AND collection:astronomy}}}}
```

3) I then use the composed `\adsalmaquery` inside of the footnote:

```latex
\footnote{As per the following NASA Astronomical Data Service (ADS) query: \adsalmaquery}
```

This made \(\LaTeX\) happy, and so I was also happy… but wanted to share this mostly to future me, in case I forget why LaTeX complains about URL-encoded/quoted URLs again…

Today I Learned that using quoted URLs in \(\LaTeX\) is quite tricky, and that `\detokenizer` is your friend.

I was trying to have a `\footnote` that pointed to the ALMA papers which are refereed, and that are published in the astronomy collection of the NASA Astronomy Database System (ADS) [1], and I was getting errors while trying to use
HyperRef's `\url` and `\href` commands, in particular a Runaway error inside footnote and href.

In the end, there were several issues that made LaTeX hickup on it.

The first one, the URL was not fully quoted, and needed to change `(` and `)` to their quoted versions,`%28` and `%29`, respectively, because the parenthesis were also considered suspect.

The second one, and is the main source of issues, is that `%`, in LaTeX, is the character for line comments: anything in the line after `%` is treated as a comment, unless it is in a verbatim environment… or inside `\detokenizer`.

Third, even with `\detokenizer{https://url.tld/%20quoted%20url}`, you might get issues.

So, what solved the issue?

Question #latex

Dans LE livre, on a beaucoup beaucoup (trop) d'exo qu'on met dans des jolis encadrés avec #Tcolorbox comme sur l'image

Evidemment, on veut numéroter les exos. Pour ça on utilise enumerate.

Evidemment on aimerait que ça incrémente automatiquement. Et on sait faire ça ... enfin, sauf qu'on y arrive pas pour les exos qui sont rangés dans les tcolorbox... 😭

Est-ce que qq a déjà fait qqch de ce type ?
