Live Demo: Writing and Publishing a Book in Real Time with texlode

Most book publishing workflows involve at least three separate tools: one for writing, one for formatting, and one for uploading to distributors. What if
all of that happened in a single editor?

In this session, Clemens Lode demos texlode, a new browser-based editor that typesets your book with the same engine used in academic journals and
scientific textbooks (LaTeX/LuaTeX), but with a live preview that updates as you type. No compile button, no waiting.

What you'll see:
- Importing an existing manuscript and watching it get typeset automatically
- Editing text and seeing the print-ready layout update in real time
- Generating a cover with correct spine width and bleed from the page count with one click
- Publishing to print-on-demand and ebook stores from the same source

Clemens has published 30+ books with LaTeX over the past 10 years and built texlode to eliminate the toolchain he got tired of managing. The platform
launches in October 2026.

Whether you write nonfiction, academic texts, or technical documentation, this session shows a different way to get from manuscript to bookstore.
