Thu 20 Apr: TeX Hour: Why paper? Why print? Why PDF? Why HTML?: 6:30 to 7:30 BST

Hi

Tomorrow's TeX Hour uses history to put into context the importance of the first arXiv Access Forum, which was earlier this week. The arXiv intends to offer research articles in both PDF and HTML. They retain the current LaTeX-based production process, and add to another that provides HTML. This is a major development.

All are welcome to the TeX Hour. Especially if you bring some memories, experience or conversation related to print, paper, PDF and HTML.

wishing you well

Hi

The arXiv contains over 2.5 million STEM articles, most written in LaTeX. This week's TeX Hour is a small contribution to improving the rendering of archived articles to HTML. The focus is on the backlog. You can help if you want to. (Few special skills beyond knowledge of TeX required.)

TeX Hour: Thursday 27 April, 6:30 to 7:30pm
