Tomorrow's TeX Hour is A brief introduction to Portable TeX Documents.

A focused solution that has the potential to work for many ecosystems.</div><div>2. I like the fact that this talk takes problems from a less widely known ecosystem and tries to generalize it. I'd recommend the author to focus on the packaging aspect, using TeX as a showcase, with its own specificity.</div><div>3. I like the combination of relevant technologies.</div><div>4. Very interesting work on Portable TeX Documents. Highly recommend that this talk be a part of the conference.</div><div>5. This is relevant to me as someone who maintains multiple hundred-page technical documents for multiple organizations. However, it may be too specific to its target ecosystem to be adequately relevant for PackagingCon this time around.</div><div><br></div><div>Here's the 26 August TeX Hour which first introduced the idea of Portable TeX Documents <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw1FZfIX1w7gcm6b4MzRKDIlW7xV4yFnd" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw1FZfIX1w7gcm6b4MzRKDIlW7xV4yFnd</a></div><div><br></div>Last week's TeX Hour was Accessible TeX rendering and R-Markdown.
