This year in a bout of melancholy boredom I started typesetting Anatomy of Melancholy in LaTeX with the goal of releasing it under a free software license and the pdf under creative commons. I still haven't finished all the little details to consider it done but I've uploaded some page spreads here if anyone wants to check it out: https://nessuent.xyz/posts/2021-04-19_anatomy_of_melancholy....

Draft PDF is here https://epilys.github.io/anatomy-of-melancholy-latex

That is super cool! I tried to click on the RSS link to get updates but I get an error when it tries to auto open in Feedly.

Apart from that looks super cool!

Thank you :)

Re: the feeds, it passes w3c validators:

Does the error say what the problem is?

I was using my phone and clicking the RSS button. It looks like it uses the link “ feed:https://epilys.github.io/anatomy-of-melancholy-latex/feed.rs... . I managed to fix this by removing the “feed:” prefix to the link.

Subscribed now thanks!

it looks very nice.
Wonderful work, thank you for doing this.
