<p>Morgan and Chris talk about the <a href="https://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/index.html">Scribble</a> document authoring format, with Morgan talking about authoring her dissertation in it and Chris talking about writing an <a href="http://opendocumentformat.org/">OpenDocument Format</a> (sometimes shortened to &quot;ODF&quot; or &quot;ODT&quot;) exporter. (That code is now a <a href="https://github.com/racket/scribble/pull/284">merge request</a> which will hopefully become part of Scribble itself!)</p><p><strong>Links:</strong></p><ul><li><p>The <a href="https://fossandcrafts.org/episodes/14-digital-humanities-workshops.html">Digital Humanities Workshops</a> episode... this is kind of a continuation of those topics.</p></li><li><p><a href="https://racket-lang.org/">Racket</a> and <a href="https://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/index.html">Scribble</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://download.racket-lang.org/v7.4.html">Racket 7.4 release notes</a>, where Morgan is mentioned as a contributor.</p></li></ul><p><em>Clarification:</em> At one point we talk about whether or not Scribble includes support for &quot;image lists&quot;. It has the relevant building blocks with support for images and figures, we were talking a bit more specifically about fitting a particular document formatting and organizational pattern used in art history papers.</p>
