Will this be the new landing place for r/LaTeX refugees? (lemmy.world)

I see this and one other LaTeX community in my searches ( [email protected] )

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

I would use a data manipulation language like R or Python with Quarto to generate the LaTeX programmatically. Then the document generation gets separated from the template design. Quarto is a system for generating LaTeX and HTML and docx files. R currently has more data rendering packages than Python, but either can probably do it.

This seems unrelated to my question. I posted asking whether the folks who used to participate in the LaTeX subreddit ( https://reddit.com/r/latex ) were finding their way over here. Nothing to do with data.

Sorry about that... to the best of my knowledge I was responding to a question about making study sheets. Not sure where the disconnect happened.

But FWIW I am a recent immigrant to lemmy.

As another recent immigrant, I'm mostly just happy to have received a reply at all even if I couldn't make sense of why it was talking about what it was.

Happy to see you here!
