Community rules

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    What's "custom layout tables"? Anyway, I now only play https://typst.app card, because I don't use LO Writer anymore, only LO Calc for some stuff. Typst has a ton of scripting capability and granular customization, so it will probably beat your "custom layout tables" by a ~~mile~~ kilometer!

    Typst is the future for document creation. Mark my words.

    You based chad. Typst is absolutely awesome. It made me ditch Libreoffice and LaTeX at the same time. Haven't looked back since then.

    Glad you've made the switch! If you want, you can hop into the discord server.

    I'm sorry but discord is a nogo for me. I'm already in the matrix room so feel free to join, we could use some more discussion ;)

    Matrix room? Where? There is no official Matrix space.

    I agree, I hate discord, but that's where everybody is messaging, including authors. BTW, we had a "community call" a few days ago in the discord. It's a monthly thing.

    [–] PropaGandalf@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

    No it is not official unfortunately. Just search for it. Maybe you could advertise the matrix room a bit :)

    Do you know of any Google xcel alternatives? Something that still allows public viewing, and collaborative editing?

    [–] Hexarei@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago

    I don't know of any public ones, but you can always host your own copy of Collabora with an instance of Next cloud.

    [–] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 1 points 9 months ago

    No, but you can allow read only access to your document on typst.app and you can collaborate with it too.
