MESASQLITE ALTERNATUVE HOW TO
Surely it can be done, and I’ve been eager to tear apart XeTeX’s or other TeXs’ source to figure out how to easily do it.Īll that to say, I like TeX a bit more because it yields results that sometimes look much prettier. In any case, this idea that different “environments” and the primitives that it exposes leads to more easily- and more difficultly-expressed ideas is an interesting one, and it relates to TeX in the way that there is much more control over fine-grained typographic decisions in TeX than say, HTML.Īs another aside, one project I have been curious to attempt is that of hacking some renderer-say Chromium’s Blink-to shunt out each text-justify: inter-word|inter-character-styled paragraph’s rendering out to something like TeX in order to try and get some very nice (though slower) justification unlike that which is offered out of the box.
The closest I have found is in his article title Waking Up from the Boolean Dream, or, Subcognition as Computation in the section The Substrate of Active Symbols Does Not Symbolize, for my own future reference. I will have to come back and look again soon. Looking for the terms substrate, environment, chemistry, and DNA in the indices of both I am a Strange Loop and Metamagical Thema have all failed to yield the section I was looking for. I have attempted to find some of the vivid examples that he brings up (for example, the information in DNA requiring a particular chemical environment in which to be interpreted to make proteins or another analogy with a phonograph), but have been unable to so far.
MESASQLITE ALTERNATUVE PORTABLE
It is also interesting learning about portable ways to share documents, and what sort of interesting dependencies there are between the format and the underlying system which tries to display that format.Īs a brief aside, Douglas Hofstadter touches on this quite a bit in his various books, the dependence of meaning or interpretation on the lower level “interpreter” or background. Ever since being introduced to the TeX ecosystem during my time as an undergrad at UCI, I have enjoyed exploring typesetting and learning what makes TeX tick in a different way than other text rendering engines.
