I haven’t blogged for a while. I owe you an apology and an explanation, so here goes… Why I’m not blogging I’ve been reflecting a lot over the last few years on why I don’t really blog anymore. I think part of it is that when I was still actively maintaining the blog, I was creating teaching content but wasn’t really teaching much in comparison. Now, with the increased amount of teaching I do, it has kind of replaced my blogging, which is sad. But I also didn’t initially know what to do about it – or maybe it just wasn’t the right time. I keep thinking about the many concepts I teach each semester that would make great blog posts and about how I should put them out there. Given that I have all those teaching materials, it would be easy to distill some of it into a blog post, yet I find that I simply don’t. Don’t getread more About the Radio Silence

Two weeks ago, a friend from Polish TeX Users’ Group mailing list asked about an Emacs tool to replace control sequences with their Unicode counterparts. I also have this need from time to time, and I usually go with the TeX input method. He is not satisfied with it, though, because it replaces too much for him – for instance, he doesn’t want a_1 to get translated to a₁. He remembered some utility (written by another Polish TeX user) which replaces a TeX sequence with a Unicode equivalent, but only on demand. Since that one seems to be lost in the depths of time, he was left without a solution.
