LaTeX

Basically, you can choose some slides from an opened .tex file to copy. It also has the function to see which graphics files are included in the selected files, so you know which ones to copy.

Here is the Github link: https://github.com/Atreyagaurav/beamer-quickie

The PDF pages are shown using the SyncTeX (if available) so that you can visually choose the slides as long as there is a single .tex source file, (might still work without synctex for simple cases).

I've made it on Linux, so it hasn't been tested in windows. You probably will need to compile gtk on Windows if you want to make it work. So if someone is really interested let me know, I can give instructions. Even in linux you'll need to install dependencies.

I was reading an old TUGboat article about "sensible defaults" where the author set \tolerance to 250 and no \emergencystretch or \hfuzz.

Now, my columns usually end up being around 55-65 characters wide, which isn't that wide, but in any longer text I'm lucky if I can stay under badness 1000 in underfull \hboxs. Some of those can be hyphenated or otherwise manipulated away, but 250 is hard to reach.

Is this just me? I'm curious where you usually land with \tolerance and badness? (For comparison maybe also mention the width of your paragraphs?)

Any major breakthroughs to cheer? Headaches to vent about? Is there a package you're glad to have discovered or hope you'll never see again?

Anyone have recommendations for how best to make a packet of circle-the-word puzzles? I'll be using fairly short (5 letters?) English words around various themes as part of an activity packet for elementary-school-aged children.

Thanks in advance.

A perennial question each graduation cycle is how to create signature blanks for thesis and dissertation signature pages.

There are many approaches available. How would you go about it? (Or how did you go about it?)

I see this and one other LaTeX community in my searches ( !LaTeX@lemmy.ml )

In any case, I'm looking forward to a new community for asking and answering casual and long-form LaTeX questions.
