Does anyone know how to generate a #PDF with #MLA formatting from a Markdown file in 2023? I keep finding GitHub repositories of #Pandoc templates that seem to work on first glance, but end up throwing cryptic errors.

#academia #TeX #LaTeX #askfedi

Things that keep me from cancelling #Adobe #CreativeCloud :
- Illustrator tracing
- Illustrator color changer
- Acrobat form editing
- This one AfterEffects Project that I spent a lot of time on
- This one customer that needs .indd files

Things that keep me want to cancel:
- performance especially, it should not lag on a computer mostly unimpressed by my 3d, video and audio workflows
- buggyness
-price

I've recently thought about if there is not an easier to learn alternative to #LaTeX...and maybe even in #Rust!?

My inner voice: Come on, you are a dreamer!

Well...sometimes dreams come true:

#Typst - A new markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn.

It is in beta and open source:

Excited to briefly call out @libreoffice at the CSUN Assistive Technology Conference. Although the talk focused on Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Word, we pointed out that LibreOffice Writer is a free and open source option to generate tagged, accessible PDF documents.

Ich mache keinen Unterschied mehr zwischen #PDF oder #HTML (im Internet) seit PDF in jedem #Browser implementiert ist.
Die integrierte PDF-Ansicht öffnet die PDF-Datei in #Firefox, speichert sie aber nicht. Wie HTMLs eben.

I know it is not going to resonate much with people in English speaking countries, but this has been a major issue for people who use alphabets with special characters (my native Czech included).

For years #PDF viewers on #Linux such as #Evince couldn't save characters outside the basic charsets in PDF forms. It turned out to be a complex problem and multi-year effort, but it's finally done and you can use unicode in PDF forms. First available in #Fedora 37 where we've already backported it.

These are nice and simple. Printed out the one-page Year calendar and hung it next to my big office monthly calendar.

Ich hänge gerade bei #Datev in der #Warteschleife (die Musik ist grauenhaft!), weil die #Gehaltsabrechnung zwar per #PDF kommt, aber ein Kennwort verlangt, wenn ich sie zusammenführen will (öffnen geht ohne Kennwort).

There is lot of hate against #NFT Think about #ebooks #piracy problem. If you buy or pirate ebook you get the same result - PDF file. You can’t sell PDF later after you are done reading. Why buy #ebook in the first place if you can pirate it. With #NFT what you buy is yours and you control it - you can sell it later and it can be used for unlocking stuff. You will more likely to buy #NFT #ebook - it gives you more value for your money. Don’t fear #NFT - embrace it. #PDF #IPFS #web3

Don’t you think ebooks are getting too expensive? Do you think that you are getting good value for your money? It’s just a PDF! Can be copied at zero cost, price should be much lower. With this pricing it’s no wonder that ebooks are heavily pirated. Printed book 18 USD, pdf $14.50 https://nostarch.com/ada-zangemann #ebooks #PDF #piracy #illegalcopy

Удивительно, что в MAS OS нет даже платного нормального #PDF редактора, такого как бесплатный PDFXChange, в котором на PDF файле можно печатать просто поверх документа.

@clarkema Thank you, that is helpful. In fact, I just tried a PDF on the Kobo and realized how very poor the standard reader is for that. #koreader was fantastic for a PDF; fast, and with the best zooming features I've seen on an #eInk device. It looks like it and #Plato both use the same underlying #PDF reader so I bet you get the same there.
