Greetings.

In the inaugural "TeX and the Humanities" column [1] of TUGboat
(December 1996), Christina Thiele wrote that "my impression is
that most humanities journals use TeX and co. as an in-house tool". She
presented the results of a 1993 survey of scholarly publishers in the
humanities, listing some 21 journals that were then typeset with plain
TeX or LaTeX.

Does anyone have any information on the current situation concerning the
use of TeX and friends by humanities journals? Does anyone know of any
humanities journals that are currently typeset in (La)TeX, or at least
accept submissions in (La)TeX? (The only journal from Thiele's list
that I know still uses LaTeX is Computational Linguistics, but its scope
isn't pure humanities, but rather an interdisciplinary one that leans
heavily, particularly in recent years, to computer science.)

Tristan

Oops... I had overlooked that the very first journal she listed in the
article was the Canadian Journal of Linguistics, which she herself
served as the editorial assistant and whose (La)TeX-based workflow she
described in a 1987 article:
<https://tug.org/texniques/tn05/tn05complete.pdf> (see pp. 5–26).
Though the publisher has since changed to Cambridge University Press,
I'm pleased to see that they still provide a LaTeX template for
manuscript submissions. I'm a CUP author and seem to recall that CUP
books and journals generally accept LaTeX submissions.

Regards,
Tristan

If you're interested in books or articles, as well as in journals,
you might find it helpful to browse de.comp.text.tex (and/or other
more localised .tex groups). I seem to have noticed several people
being interested in medieval culture, for instance, wanting to use
TeX in order to produce articles or books about such matters.

A wonderful example from linguistics and South American culture is

<https://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/400>

which has been typeset by means of TeX and LaTeX.

Thanks for the tip! Yes, I'm interested in books as well. I'll also
take a look at recent discussions in the language-/region-specific TeX
groups.

Regards,
Tristan
