Bertrand CaronThe pdfprivacy package for #latex removes sensible data from your PDF created with #pdftex, in particular dates, embedded file names, trailer ID, etc.

#PDF digital archaeology: in a more or less broken PDF of an academic paper I found a lot of unreferenced objects. And some of them contain understandable and meaningful text, probably from the authors, not displayed by Adobe Reader nor extracted by #Tika. . Exciting isn't it?
(Oh, and remember users of #pdfTeX that apparently when you insert an image inside a PDF, the absolute path and filename of the image is written in the PDF...)
ArneBabUnicode pictograms to mark progressively rising values:

For Ace Maths I searched for unicode icons to mark progression: show that you’re getting better. Since I found a lot of different options (from simple sparklines to a huge list of animals), I’m collecting them in this article.
Includes a tip for somewhat better, automatic #unicode "image" suppport #LaTeX with plain #pdflatex / #pdftex
Javier Bezos@saxnot There are several reasons. One of them is #xetex lacks a true #bidi model. But more importantly, #luatex provides tools for #PDF not available in #pdftex or #xetex.

Engine news from the LaTeX Project
The latest release of LaTeX went to CTAN on Friday, and moves us forward in truly automatic tagging for PDFs, particularly for mathematics. As part of the work, we have been looking at the capabilities of different engines. Here, I want to summarise what users should take from that for existing and for new documents.
Now that #luatex is the recommended engine for LaTeX, you can find in the #babel site minimal localized documents for about 300 languages and 45 scripts. There are also basic guides on how to migrate from #pdftex and #xetex.
Daniel HernándezNews about #LaTeX from Joseph Wright: #LuaTeX is the recommended system, and #XeTeX is not recommended. #pdfTeX is still supported, but it is better to start new projects with luaTeX. Full news in the link below. #TexLaTeX

Thomas Savary@matteodelabre Un code source « propre » pour un texte long, c’est la garantie d’une composition bourrée de défauts. #TeX, #pdfTeX, #XeTeX et #LuaTeX sont excellents, meilleurs que les compositeurs d’#InDesign ou de #QuarkXPress, mais il ne faut pas non plus croire aux miracles.
En conclusion, je dirai que lorsqu’en effet on intervient manuellement pour corriger un comportement de #LaTeX et Cie, il vaut mieux savoir exactement pourquoi on le fait. Bref, il faut se former à la typographie.
