This weekend I managed to climb the steepest part of the learning curve with formatting a book using LaTeX.
Watch this space, as I should be able to complete and publish this proof of concept pretty quickly. If this book works out to be worth my time, you can expect quite a bit more publishing from me soon.
@kyle Also, I suggest that as someone who's used LaTeX off and on for for years, but have always been a bit mystified by its error traces. OpTeX will also allow your source text to be much more human readable, as the markups are lighter than LaTeX's syntax.
@jkepler I am reluctant to move to something with less history, smaller userbase, and less documentation since I am just learning and need all of the online support I can get.
@kyle
Mâles sense. Hope your writing and typesetting goes well.
Kind of amazing that your working on writing and typesetting a book on a phone (your Librem 5, I assume)!
@jkepler Yes I am doing all of the layout of the book with my Librem 5 and Lapdock Kit. I am actually going to use the tablet mode feature when it is time to review the full book as a digital page proof before I order the printed version. Living in the convergence future!
