Hi,
I learned a lot on printing history, that was fun!
The text mentions the Jupyter notebook almost in passing, but isn’t this type
of document (worth) its own category? Combining prose, code and analytical
results as a recent invention for publishing scientific results?
RMarkdown/knitr would fall in the same category. This then ties into the next
paragraph ("One final consideration”).
My initial response to the choice of LaTex for the lessonwas, ‘I worry that
LaTeX adoption by the learners may be low’. But then I realised that the same
could have been (and perhaps was) said about git adoption by Software Carpentry
workshop participants. That lesson works wonderfully well, in my experience, in
that it does not at all scare learners away. Let’s hope the LaTeX lesson works
out to be just as good (no pressure... :-) ).
