2013-05-18 A presentation on LaTeX editing (en)

Last edit

Summary: fix link

Changed:

< A few weeks ago, students asked me to deliver a talk for the circle. The talk was supposed to be addressed to beginning (La)TeX users, and we quickly settled upon the topic: how to choose the editing environment for TeX. (I /did/ try not to talk about Emacs all the time.) Quite obviously, I decided to use Beamer to prepare the slides; being really bored with the default Beamer themes (and having some time in advance to prepare the presentation) I went for my custom theme. It is available on [https://github.com/mbork/beamerorgtheme|my GitHub account]. (It is not (yet) a finished product -- it needs some tweaking, a few elements are missing etc. -- but it should be usable, and more importantly, bug-reportable;).) I hope you enjoy the English version of [[download:Slides_about_LaTeX_editing.pdf|the slides]] -- and the theme!

I am proud to be the supervisor of a so-called students’ TeX scientific circle. It is a revival of a similar enterprise, which was launched by a few of my friends and me about ten years ago and died a year or so later.
