Getting Started with PreTeXt

A quite popular ecosystem for authoring and sharing scholarly documents is PreTeXt. Using PreTeXt guarantees that you can “write once, read anywhere”: once you’ve written your document in PreTeXt, you can build and deploy interactive webpages, printable PDFs, and even files that can be used to emboss tactile braille!

One of the most common questions I’m asked is “How do I even get started?”. Oscar and I (not to mention many others!) have hosted several in-person and virtual workshops to help folks get started, and a great place to look out for future workshops is the PROSE Consortium calendar.

But if you’re itching to get started right now, the Getting Started Tutorial of the PreTeXt Guide is your friend! All you need is an internet connection and and updated web browser, so why wait?

And if you’re stuck, come chat with us in the PROSE Consortium Discord or connect live in a PROSE Consortium Zoom Drop-In. We look forward to helping you!
