Kees van der Laan EUROTEX 2009 E5 TEX Education – a neglected approach Abstract In this note a proposal about education is made and some education is done. Why not offer a macro writing Master Class, in plain TEX&MetaPost via internet, to endorse Minimal Markup and to strive after readable, adaptable, robust and reusable macros, by using paradigms? The macros are destined to be included in a library for reuse in AnyTEX. Educational issues are: language, awareness, insight, and TEXnique proper. Courseware is indispensable. The personality of the teacher is all important. Self-study is not enough and considered dangerous. A few turtle graphics macros for line-drawing in plain TEX, used for sketching a binary tree and fractals, are given. Knuth’s gkppic macros are used for flowcharts. Of both their advantages and disadvantages are mentioned. Graphics with curved lines, via PS and MP, such as envelope, smiley, yin yang, Schröfers opart, and a circle covered by circles are included. 2.5D graphics emulated from Naum Gabo constructive works and Escher’s impossible cube, both specified by data in 3D and projected on 2D with the viewing angles as parameters, are supplied. Without explanation Spirals on the sphere and a torus are included. Reuse of macros, pictures, references, tools, formats is relevant with my blue.tex released in about 1995, as an unusual, integrated example, to be re-released under LPPL after review on the TEX Live Distribution DVD of 2010. At the end a suggestion is done to extend MetaPost towards 3D.
