Re:SICP in GNU TeXmacs by neilv on Saturday April 20, 2024 @05:20PM (#40101113)
Related, in 2001 or earlier, Lytha Ayth somehow converted the HTML edition of SICP to GNU TeXinfo.

So that it could be used by students on modest computers that couldn't manage a Web browser and running Scheme at the same time:

As part of this, they redrew the figures in SICP as ASCII art (not as something like TeX figures), which I guess made sense for those requirements. Though today I like the idea of using proper markup for figures.
