Per me le cose stanno così.

Il pacchetto hieroglf, di Peter Wilson, è una riduzione del pacchetto HieroTeX di Serge Rosmorduc. Quest’ultimo non è di facile uso, perché richiede l’installazione di font ad hoc, mentre hieroglf è di uso immediato.

Wilson, però, non ha messo nel suo pacchetto il simbolo F32, ma per me ha sbagliato, visto che è fondamentale: i geroglifici sono circa settemila, d’accordo, ma quel carattere è uno dei 24 principali (i simboli cui corrisponde un solo suono).

Ho riprodotto le tabelle presenti nella documentazione. Di seguito il codice compilabile. Niente, quel simbolo non lo vedo proprio. 🙁

ivan” post=109244Personalmente accorperei le tre guide in ununica grande guida. Adotterei qualche espediente grafico per distinguere le conoscenza a livello “impaziemte”, quelle a livello “arte” e quelle a livello “latexpedia”. Con tcolorbox si puo fare facilmente. Così non si hanno sovrapposizioni ed è piu semplice laggiormamemto. A livello utente non è un gran problema avere un unico file. Anzi.

Alcune considerazioni al volo.

1. Spesso mi capita di dover cercare qualcosa che non ricordo. Scrivendo LaTeXpedia, mi sono stupito di aprire con frequenza l’Arte. Perché non LaTeXpedia, visto che contiene tutta l’Arte? Perché è più comodo cercare qualcosa in un documento di 150 pagine che di 400. Ecco perché tengo distinti LaTeXpedia, l’Arte e l’Impaziente.

2. Il progetto originario di Lapo (una LaTeXedia scritta da tanti utenti in modo cooperativo, sul modello di Wikipedia) non poteva funzionare (e infatti non ha funzionato). Sto scrivendo un nuovo capitolo di LaTeXpedia: l’argomento non è difficile, ma è vastissimo. Occorre fare una sintesi di centinaia (se non migliaia) di pagine disponibili in Rete. Questa sintesi non la può fare un gruppo di persone: la può fare una persona sola (due al massimo). Un gruppo di persone che lavorasse a un capitolo come quello che sto scrivendo non ne verrebbe a capo: le energie per coordinarsi crescono esponenzialmente con il numero di persone coinvolte.

3. Sono di parte, lo so, ma la sezione “Documentazione” del sito del GuIT non mi convince: dà enorme rilievo a cose secondarie, e non dà rilievo a cose (più) importanti. Sarebbe ora che qualcuno ci mettesse le mani: pur così importante, dà l’idea di una sezione del sito appena abbozzata e lasciata a se stessa…
