This list of pitfalls for journalists to avoid in reporting on artificial intelligence is broadly applicable to emerging tech in general. Useful to anyone who wishes to spread insight instead marketing snake oil. https://aisnakeoil.substack.com/p/eighteen-pitfalls-to-beware-of-in

Rendering #PDF documents:

– #LaTeX still seems to be the best free option: It generates TOCs, indices, etc. It optimizes page breaks by moving figures. Etc.

– I convert Markdown to LaTeX to PDF (via Pandoc) and it works really well. To customize the results, you have to know *some* LaTeX but not much: I mostly web-search & paste.

– LaTeX engine I discovered today: https://tectonic-typesetting.github.io/en-US/

– There are a few CSS-based engines but no free options that come close to LaTeX(?)

It would ideal, if the Offizin Haag-Drugulin in Dresden could be saved. It is a small Letterpress printing office with a very large amount of equipment. It dates back to the 1820s and has a great deal of foundry type. It prints books set by Monotype hot-metal composition, too, and has—I think this is correct—matrices for every British Monotype face ever officially released, thanks to its having purchased the lending libraries from German Monotype and Monotype in Salfords. https://www.verein-fuer-die-schwarze-kunst.de/die-zukunft-der-offizin-haag-drugulin-ist-ungewiss/
