- Conference portfolio (workshop)
- Willi Egger
- CG Journal 2012, p. 36-40
- abstract: In accordance to the conference's theme, a workshop for making a portfolio binder has been held. The portfolio was made so it could carry the papers for the conference, such as preprints of the proceedings, additional papers and the carpenter's pencil given to each participant. The construction is made from a single sheet of cardboard with folded flaps along three sides, so that it completely envelopes the content. The portfolio is held closed by a black elastic band.

- MlBibTeX and Its New Extensions
- Jean-Michel Hufflen
- CG Journal 2012, p. 82-91
- abstract: These last years, MlBibTeX's kernel functions have been reused and extended in order to put new programs about bibliographies into action. Examples are the hal program, allowing an open archive site to be populated, the mlbiblatex program, building bibliographies suitable for the biblatex package, the mlbibcontext program, doing the same task for ConTeXt documents. We show how all these programs are organised, and explain how some operations can be refined or extended. For a point of view related to efficiency, the programs mlbiblatex and mlbibcontext are written using Scheme only, so they are more efficient than analogous programs that would interpret a .bst bibliography style of bibTeX.
