llms are great at handling syntax for you so you can focus on your work
I never wrote latex before, but writing a simple PDF / scholarly article from code is pretty easy with current tools if you're a dev
- everybodyknows 1y ago> writing a simple PDF / scholarly article from code is pretty easy with current tools I tripped over a lot of abandonware while looking for a free OSS HTML->PDF solution, recently. What do you recommend?
- tough 1y agoI settled using latex with tectonic, you could always leverage playwright or similar for easy html -> print to pdf without any weird libs? (not great startup time, but you can batch many ops in one session) # justfile ── put in repo root set shell := ["bash", "-cu"] # one shell → predictable env, pipe-fail, etc. # Build a PDF once pdf: tectonic -X compile src-v0.1/main.tex --outdir target/pdf # or swap for typst # Clean artefacts clean: rm -rf target # Live-reload while writing watch: cargo watch -q -x 'just pdf' then i just split the paper in sections like react components but using tex main.tex \documentclass{article} \input{preamble} \begin{document} \maketitle \input{sections/abstract} \input{sections/introduction} \input{sections/syntax} \input{sections/evaluation} \input{sections/conclusion} \end{document}
