I see this and one other LaTeX community in my searches ( [email protected] )
In any case, I’m looking forward to a new community for asking and answering casual and long-form LaTeX questions.
You must log in or # to comment.
I would use a data manipulation language like R or Python with Quarto to generate the LaTeX programmatically. Then the document generation gets separated from the template design. Quarto is a system for generating LaTeX and HTML and docx files. R currently has more data rendering packages than Python, but either can probably do it.
This seems unrelated to my question. I posted asking whether the folks who used to participate in the LaTeX subreddit ( https://reddit.com/r/latex ) were finding their way over here. Nothing to do with data.
Sorry about that… to the best of my knowledge I was responding to a question about making study sheets. Not sure where the disconnect happened.
But FWIW I am a recent immigrant to lemmy.
As another recent immigrant, I’m mostly just happy to have received a reply at all even if I couldn’t make sense of why it was talking about what it was.
Happy to see you here!
I haven’t abandoned Reddit but I am very much looking forward to trying out alternatives. I’m totally fine with having both available for now.
Honestly, I did not know about [email protected] when I made this sub (its funny, it doesn’t appear in my search on lemmy.ca, but it does on lemmy.ml, even though I filter ‘All’ instances, maybe it is bugged). I would be down to merge the two subs if needed.
I couldn’t see either of the c/LaTeX through my server’s search. I found them with Lemmy Explorer. I don’t think merging is necessary. Your community seems to have more active users engaged (my posts here have received some attention), while it looks like the other one hasn’t been active for years.
That communities looks like its from a few years ago, and not active. I just subscribed to both though :)
Maybe this isn’t relevant, but a couple of days ago I created [email protected]. I used to hang out on r/LaTeX but since my main interest is plain TeX I thought I’d make a place for all TeX formats and not LaTeX specifically. It’s not intended as a replacement for anything though.
