#Trump is what we in Sweden call a "Tölp". So are most members of his... regime.

"Tölp" translates to: #fool, #oaf, #dolt, #boor, #jerk, #boob, #lout, #idiot, #chump, #klutz, #twit, #clod, #clown, #booby, #bumpkin, #slob, #blunderer, #clot, #yokel, #clodhopper.

Yay... #funny if the world survives.

Excited to share my free PDF booklet: "SILE and the Hydra of Maths: Showcase & Critical Assessment 2024".
It chronicles my journey enhancing math support in #SILE, exploring challenges & insights across:
#MathML, #TexLatex #MathJax, #Unicode, #UnicodeMath, #Typst, #Lout, #AsciiMath, #OpenType and more.
What a journey!

@leaverou I think one thing different with #Lout https://github.com/william8000/lout was that it could break paragraphs into pages.

Skribilo: The Ultimate Document Programming Framework

Twenty years ago, I wrote an #XSLT stylesheet that, given some #XML document, produces input for the #Lout formatter to generate a tree diagram of this document. You can specify an XPath expression to highlight the selected nodes. This is obviously useful for teaching, but I never got around updating it to remove the dependency on Lout, so for the last ten years, I’ve been using the same examples for which I had PDFs.

Until today!

@civodul I investigated #Lout a lot when reappraising the topic x2 years ago.

It seems great, I wish its developer kept chipping away at it, although as #skribilo demonstrates it can satisfy a lot of usecases.

I did not know it was one 1 MiB!

It’s been 30 years and 1 day since #Lout was first released:

If you’ve never heard about it (likely!), Lout is a purely functional #typesetting system (think TeX/LaTeX) that offers a *lot* in one MiB!
