A Timeline with LaTeX
When taking a closer look at the history of a concept or development a timeline comes in handy to structure events and dates. I know several timeline tools online, but for just taking notes I needed a lighter solution.
Finally with the help of DuckDuckGo and StackOverflow I found a way to take down the dates with LaTeX1. The chronosys package provides a simple but good looking solution as you can see in this small example.
The result could receive a little more styling but for me it’s fine right now!

I admit that LaTeX itself is not a lightweight solution. But I will finally write down my stuff with LaTeX anyway, so this fits into my usual procedure. ↩︎
