TeX Live in a pocket or iPad + Raspberry Pi + WiFi

Short lecture with a demo

Tablets are nowadays not only trendy but also a useful tool that owing
to their small size can always be carried with. However, the system of
the famous iPad is closed and does not allow easy file sharing between
applications. As far as the TeX world is concerned, only LaTeX
probably in a limited implementation is available. This is not
convenient for users who want to use plain TeX, to users who need
LuaTeX or XeLaTeX, to users who wish to use commercial fonts in their
documents. Raspberry Pi offers an open system for which TeX Live
distribution is available. A great many other programs can be
installed. Its small size and low price is compensated by the fact
that it is sold without peripheral devices. The tablets do not have an
ethernet port for a direct connection to a network. This contribution
will explain and demonstrate how an iPad and Raspberry Pi can be
interconnected and how TeX can be used even at places where network
connection is unavailable.
