XTS version 0.0.11 is released. Download as always at https://github.com/speedata/xts/releases

In preparation for automatic testing XTS can now create reproducible PDFs (identical checksum on each run). This makes it easier to compare a PDF file against a reference PDF.
Also add the support for muliple runs.

A new example is online at https://github.com/speedata/xts-examples/tree/main/introduction/planets which show how to create a table of contents.

What is #XTS? The XML typesetting system is a PDF database publishing software to create product catalogs and other high demand output. #speedata #boxesandglue

(4) Modern solutions include (besides Teχ): #SILE, #speedata publisher and #typst.
(5) I am working on my own project #typho.

Here are the slides: https://www.typho.org/assets/presentations/2023-02-07_pygraz_slides.pdf

More details follow tomorrow.

On Tuesday, I will give a talk about #DigitalTypesetting at the local #python community.

My idea is to create some first slides for digital typesetting to expand them over the course of the next months. I will also introduce various existing solutions for digital typesetting (#LaTeχ, #SILE, #speedata, #yex, #typst, …) and my own project #typho.

In case you are in #Graz, join us. I will share slides later here.
