Yesterday I received a review copy of Digital Typography Using LaTeX from Springer (written by Syropoulos, Tsolomitis and Sofroniou, 510 pages, publishing year 2003). This is a nice new book on LaTeX. It will not replace the classic manuals by Lamport or for example Math into LaTeX (by Grätzer). However, Digital Typography Using LaTeX has a really good description of multi-lingual typesetting. And the book also describes the future directions of TeX and LaTeX. It shows examples of using pdfTeX and pdfLaTeX, and other new tools, plus the upcoming XML-transformation tools developed in the Omega and Lambda projects. The future of TeX and LaTeX looks bright indeed.

A new channel for thoughts -- Comment()
I have been posting here at Universal Rule a lot of pointers to topics elsewhere, so I decided to make a new channel (or category) for more personal postings. I came up with the title Universally Personal, not terribly original perhaps.
