You should look at several papers written in scribble(racket doc templating language), they are beautiful, not hard to author(compared to latex).
Here is an example: http://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/scope-sets http://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/scope-sets .
Although some of the models on semantics are pictures generated from latex :p
- danso 8y agoWow, that indeed is a beautiful online book, better than any Sphinx template I've so far come across. You've got me interested in checking out Scribble.
- throwaway287391 8y agoThanks for the link -- this does look really nice. But I do think the fact that they resort to using LaTeX-generated images for text [1] (as you mentioned) sort of proves my point that the existing implementations of this sort of format aren't really flexible enough for a lot of scientific papers yet. However, I admit this could be a reasonable way for even impatient and stubborn researchers to publish papers, given the right implementation. I'll withdraw my initial arrogant "I can tell you that ..." :P [1] http://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/scope-sets/model.html#%28part._.Single-.Phase_.Expansion%29 http://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/scope-sets/model.html#%28part._.S...
- aasasd 8y agoScribble's styles might have been touched by Matthew Butterick, whose online-book “Practical Typography” may IMO be the most beautiful site on the whole web, owing to the masterful application of fonts and margins: https://practicaltypography.com/ https://practicaltypography.com/ (The list of MB's commits is not telling much, but Flatt having written the foreword to MB's other book “Beautiful Racket” is more suggestive.)
