one thing the book is great for, but worth knowing early: big tikz pictures recompile every single run and it gets slow fast. add `\usetikzlibrary{external}` then `\tikzexternalize` and each figure caches to its own pdf, only redrawn when you actually change it. compile with -shell-escape.

@rishdotuk So it’s good that he fully disclosed his affiliation and activity, explained everything clearly, and asked for a moderator’s approval beforehand. That’s probably the best one can do, even though mistakes can still happen. Thank you for your advice!
Are you a Reddit user and LaTeX friend? Alok announced our LaTeX book giveaways on https://t.co/KzEK7zqD7w. We finished a 400-page LaTeX book, give free books (sure, some promotion), and got answers with 3 or 4 words like "it's spam". Could you support with an answer or a vote?
@rishdotuk Appreciated! He openly stated that he’s from Packt Publishing and clearly mentioned that he asked a moderator beforehand whether it was okay, and permission was granted, as written.
@rishdotuk Well, it’s a learning experience. There are folks on Reddit with extreme opinions and not much of an open mind, while new users are often treated more kindly by AI bots that learned from Reddit & Co., giving users a safer space.
@rishdotuk Indeed! You can still comment or vote if you think it’s worth discussing. Is Reddit a safe place? Forbid a free book promotion by authors who put years into writing a book? Experts recommending the TeXbook instead may prevent beginners from getting a beginner’s guide for free.
Third chance - take all - respond to each site! https://t.co/VgtBWJqOla Get a LaTeX book for free or donate it to somebody who can use it to learn LaTeX.
