LinuxConfigs VS sioyek

FWIW, I recently learned that it is also possible to produce nice PDF papers with GNU roff (groff), have a look at this example: https://github.com/SudarsonNantha/LinuxConfigs/blob/master/....

My code is a bit convoluted and poorly documented, but here are the files for something I was working on: https://github.com/SudarsonNantha/LinuxConfigs/blob/8f595ca56cfa8ef8455fd4f8fde0245f6b0952a5/.config/groff/Examples/paper/paper.pdf

This is the exact line of code I have in one of my documents: \X'pdf: pdfpic Section1.pdf -L 2i'\h'2.8i'\X'pdf: pdfpic Section2.pdf -L 2i'

I have some old examples if you want to check them out. And a very badly made video explaining it haha.

Normal Groff Resume

I've uploaded the files on my Github. You should open the mn-example.ms file. The output PDF is mn-example.pdf.

I'm a mechanical engineering student who's taken a liking to Groff. I couldn't find any examples of scientific papers or thesis' using Groff on the internet, so I decided to make my own.

I've been using Groff for a couple of months now, and I wanted to share my Groff workflow with you guys. Hopefully, it will help someone write technical papers or papers to rival ones created using Latex. Here is look at the PDF output of my template file with working PDF links.

Sioyek is a PDF viewer designed exactly for reading research papers and textbooks: https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek.

It has a lot of niche features, but my favorite is the ability to preview or jump to references even when they are not linked in the PDF file.

I implore all developers of PDF readers to implement sioyek's overview feature[0]. When you hover on a cross-referenced entry, it opens a little preview window with the contents of the reference. It is an absolute game-changer for reading textbooks and technical papers; I cannot overstate its utility.

Has anyone been able to run the sioyek PDF viewer (https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek) on Asahi? I've tinkered around a little, but the max I've gotten to is a black window with the executable complaining about an inability to compile certain shaders. Would this be due to the current OpenGL in mesa-asahi-edge (and thus can't be solved until we get more recent OpenGL version support) or is there some way to finagle around this?

Maybe chat to the dev of https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek about adding this as a feature. It's probably the closest pdf viewer I can think of that might do something like this in the future.
