Hi Sergio, We have a similar need to create high definition images to be shared in social media for the #CandidatosEnDatos[1]Â project. What we did then was to combine Pharo with LaTex via Mustache templates. If I would redo the project today, I would use Typst[2][2a], to decouple PDF creation from the huge LaTeX ecosystem and a nicer syntax with better error messages. In fact, we are using Typst now because of that (but we have not redone the Pharo integration via Mustache templates).

Hi, all.
I am looking to create a newspaper like listing of movie showtimes. Initially, I thought of using imagemagickâs annotate command to generate the output.
Thinking further, I thought it might be worthwhile to generate a LaTeX file, and render that to a jpg.
Then, I thought there might be a better way to do this natively in smalltalk.
Does anyone have any idea how I might generate a document that can be converted to an image with a reasonable amount of control of the layout?
Thanks!
