Dante spring conference 2011
written on Mar 31, 2011
My personal notes from Dante spring conference in Bremen.
- improved makeindex: Xindy
- texdoc <FONT> helps including new fonts. i.e. texdoc bera
- one complete font (with maths) is kpfonts
- \showfont shows font used at the moment
- use blindtext to get "lorem ipsum". But "Blindtext" is not Latin.
- mathastext sets all text in formulars as text. To get variables in italic add [italic] at package loading time.
- good Font catalogue: www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue.
- try biblatex; don't use bibtex anymore.
- with the option --wolfgang the capacity of bibtex8 will be increased to very huge
- universal document converter: pandoc
- new list typ for TeX: coollist; for strings coolstr and cool for maths
- chronology to set time scales
- with cntdwn a counter and a clock can be embeded in PDFs (using only with pdflatex or Acroreader)
