Hi

There were several talks at the recent TeX Conference that relied on XML to
TeX to PDF and related technologies. Tomorrow's TeX Hour provides a place
to discuss this shared theme. Briefly, it's a good idea if you want
multiple high-quality outputs from a single source file, and authors
willing to make the extra effort to achieve this.

This meeting is dedicated to the memory of Sebastian Rahtz, who was a great
advocate of XML and TeX. He was a major contributor not just to TeX (think
TeX Live) but also the Text Encoding Initiative and in particular their XSL
stylesheets.

Here are the details for tomorrow's TeX Hour on XML to TeX to PDF.
Date and time: Thursday 19 August, 6.30 to 7.30pm UK time.

Last week's TeX Hour was on Obstacles to accessible TeX. We had a good
discussion. The videos are available at
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=3DPLw1FZfIX1w7jJoon5dJSu7svTgsG1dNGc

Next week's TeX Hour will be on Portable TeX Documents - reducing and
resolving dependencies of TeX source. The TeX Conference videos are now
available. The appendix gives links to the 8 accessibility talks at the
conference. I particularly recommend "Code and Math in the Dark" (which I
was privileged to host) and "Tactile Mathematics" (with a cast of 5).

with best regards

Jonathan
