Tomorrow's TeX Hour provides a place to discuss this shared theme. Briefly, it's a good idea if you want multiple high-quality outputs from a single source file, and authors willing to make the extra effort to achieve this.</div><div dir="ltr"><br><div>This meeting is dedicated to the memory of Sebastian Rahtz, who was a great advocate of XML and TeX. He was a major contributor not just to TeX (think TeX Live) but also the Text Encoding Initiative and in particular their XSL stylesheets.</div><div><br></div><div>Here are the details for tomorrow's TeX Hour on XML to TeX to PDF.</div><div>Date and time: Thursday 19 August, 6.30 to 7.30pm UK time.<br>UK time now: <a href="https://time.is/UK" target="_blank">https://time.is/UK</a>.<br>Zoom URL: <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/j/78551255396?pwd=cHdJN0pTTXRlRCtSd1lCTHpuWmNIUT09" target="_blank">https://us02web.zoom.us/j/78551255396?pwd=cHdJN0pTTXRlRCtSd1lCTHpuWmNIUT09</a><br>Meeting ID: 785 5125 5396<br>Passcode: knuth<br></div><div><br></div><div>Last week's TeX Hour was on Obstacles to accessible TeX.

The TeX Conference videos are now available. The appendix gives links to the 8 accessibility talks at the conference. I particularly recommend "Code and Math in the Dark" (which I was privileged to host) and "Tactile Mathematics" (with a cast of 5).</div><div><br></div><div>with best regards</div><div><br></div><div>Jonathan</div><div><br></div><div>APPENDIX: Links to the 8 accessibility talks at 2021 TeX Conference</div><div><br>Andreas Papasalouros & Antonis Tsolomitis<br>latex2nemeth: A direct LaTeX-to-Braille Transcribing Tool<br><a href="https://youtu.be/SZHIeevyo3U?t=14182" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/SZHIeevyo3U?t=14182</a><br><br>Ulrike Fischer<br>On the road to tagged PDF: about StructElem, Marked Content, PDF/A and squeezed Bärs<br><a href="https://youtu.be/SZHIeevyo3U?t=16985" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/SZHIeevyo3U?t=16985</a><br><br>Frank Mittelbach<br>Taming the beast — Advances in paragraph tagging with pdfTeX and XeTeX<br><a href="https://youtu.be/SZHIeevyo3U?t=19551" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/SZHIeevyo3U?t=19551</a><br><br>Jana Schroeder and Jonathan Godfrey ( host Jonathan Fine)<br>Code and math in the dark<br><a href="https://youtu.be/KNLJwjKg7EM" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/KNLJwjKg7EM</a><br><br>Keiran Harcombe & Boris Veytsman <br>Creating TeXLive VPAT statement<br><a href="https://youtu.be/laPT8mmz8ZA?t=20010" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/laPT8mmz8ZA?t=20010</a><br><br>Alexei Kolesnikov, Al Maneki, Michael Cantino, Rob Beezer, Volker Sorge<br>Tactile mathematics: Enabling Sighted and Blind People to Share Mathematical Experience<br><a href="https://youtu.be/laPT8mmz8ZA?t=22442" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/laPT8mmz8ZA?t=22442</a><br><br>Michael Nolan, Dr. Todd Pagano, Suhas Chikkanaravangala Vijayakumar, Rahul Jaiswal<br>Publishing for all: Using LaTeX to help improve the accessibility of an open-access journal<br>[This talk is split over 2 URLs.]<br><a href="https://youtu.be/laPT8mmz8ZA?t=25189" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/laPT8mmz8ZA?t=25189</a><br><a href="https://youtu.be/GAGglH-cWcE?t=0" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/GAGglH-cWcE?t=0</a><br><br>Ross Moore & Tom Price<br>Accessible research reports; case study, including acronyms and glossaries<br><a href="https://youtu.be/GAGglH-cWcE?t=5600" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/GAGglH-cWcE?t=5600</a><br></div></div>
