# Blee-LCNT: An Emacs-centered content production and self-publication framework
Mohsen BANAN (he/him) - Pronunciation: MO-HH-SS-EN, <http://mohsen.1.banan.byname.net>

In a sense this is yet another talk about how you
can use Emacs to produce fancy presentations like
this or write complex books and self-publish them.
But our approach is fundamentally different.
Many talks at previous Emacs Conferences have
described how Emacs and org-mode can be extended
to facilitate content production by adding more to
Emacs. Our approach is that of putting a smaller
Emacs at the core of something bigger. That
something bigger is an autonomy oriented digital
ecosystem called "ByStar" which is uniformly built
with a layer on top of Debian called BISOS (ByStar
Internet Services OS).
At Emacs Conf-2024 the title of my talk was "About Blee" –
<https://emacsconf.org/2024/talks/blee>.
Blee (ByStar Libre-Halaal Emacs Environment) is that
smaller Emacs packaging that positions Emacs at the core of BISOS and
ByStar. BISOS and Blee are intertwined and
ByStar is about autonomy oriented unified platforms for developing and
delivering both internet services and
software-service continuums.
This talk is about Content Production and Self-Publication capabilities of
Blee and BISOS.
Blee-LCNT is LaTeX centric. The original text is always in COMEEGA-LaTeX –
LaTeX augmented by Org-Mode. This is
the inverse direction of exporting LaTeX from Org-Mode. For typesetting,
the LaTeX syntax is far more powerful than
org-mode. And with COMEEGA-LaTeX, you can also benefit from all that
org-mode offers. The scope of Blee-LCNT is all
types of content from presentations to videos to books to name-tags and
business cards.
LaTeX to HTML translation is done with HeVeA. For
presentation/screen-casting, the original text is then augmented
in layers by images, audio voice-overs, screen captures, videos and
captions. The Beamer LaTeX file is then
processed by both LaTeX and HeVeA. LaTeX produced slides are then absorbed
in html by HeVeA as images. HeVeA output
is destined to be dispensed by Reveal.js. The video is then just a screen
capture of the autoplay of reveal file.
Viewing presentations in their original Reveal form makes for an even
richer experience.
All of this involves a whole lot of integration and scripting. But all of
that has been done and you can get it all
in one shot by just running one script.
To get started with BISOS, Blee, and ByStar, visit
<https://github.com/bxgenesis/start>. From a vanilla Debian 13
installation ("Fresh-Debian"), you can bootstrap BISOS and Blee (with
Emacs-30) in one step by running the
raw-bisos.sh script. It produces "Raw-BISOS" which includes "Raw-Blee".
You can then add the LaTeX sources for your content as ByStar Portable
Objects (BPO) to BISOS and process
your content with Blee-LCNT.
All of this and more has been documented in a book that was produced by
Blee-LCNT itself.
The title of that book is:
Nature of Polyexistentials:
Basis for Abolishment of the Western Intellectual Property Rights Regime
And Introduction of the Libre-Halaal ByStar Digital Ecosystem

I welcome your thoughts and feedback, especially if you experiment with
Blee,
BISOS, ByStar, and the model and the concept of Libre-Halaal
Polyexistentials.
