NE at Czech typography conference
We put a lot of effort into the typography of our printed editions. It is part of how we justify the production of a print magazine in the age of the internet. It was gratifying, then, to be asked to present our approach to a typography conference.
The 4th International ConTeXt meeting was a gathering of TeX users (TeX being the type-setting system we use to make New Escapologist) in Brejlov, Czech Republic.
We couldn’t be at the event in person, but Tim put together a conference poster depicting pages from our printed editions alongside a macro code used in the production of the magazine. Also on display were copies of our first three issues and take-away copies of sample material in pamphlet-form.
Special thanks to the event organisers.

After discovering the Escapologist here at the conference, I subscribed a few moments ago 😉

Indeed you did! Order gratefully received.
It looks like a fun conference. One of my old jobs was to promote a health education website at various UK conferences: none of them were as fun as this one looks. Nice setting for it too.
Enjoying the archives of your blog very much, it’s nice to know that people are still using TeX. 🙂
Superb. Glad you’re enjoying it. I was a latecomer to TeX but one of my friends was familiar with it from typesetting a maths thesis some years ago and we pragmatically decided to continue the tradition.
