+A quick tip that I recently learned is that the symbols in a LaTex list item is changeable. In fact, the following technique works for both the `enumerate` and `itemize` environments.
+
+```latex
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item[$\square$]  Item 1
+    \item[$\triangle$] Item 2
+\end{itemize}
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+	\item[$\rho_1$] Property 1
+	\item[$\rho_2$] Property 2
+	\item[$\rho_3$] Property 3
+\end{enumerate}
+```

+title: "Term To SVG"

+With [`termtosvg`](https://github.com/nbedos/termtosvg) made by Nicolas Bedo we can make SVG animations from terminal output in the style of  [asciinema](https://asciinema.org/). To install use [pipx](http://localhost:1313/blog/managepythonapps/).
+
+```bash
+pipx install termtosvg
+```
+
+To start recording, run the command `termtosvg`
+
+```bash
+termtosvg
+```
+
+It first outputs:
+
+```
+Recording started, enter "exit" command or Control-D to end
+```
+
+At "exit", by default it will save the animation to a random filename in the tmp folder.
+
+```
+Rendering ended, SVG animation is /tmp/termtosvg_xmadgf9y.svg
+```
+
+To control the default save location, pass in a filename after `termtosvg`
+
+```bash
+termtosvg /path/to/savefile.svg
+```
+
+To record only the execution of a particular command, use the flag `-c`
+
+```bash
+termtosvg -c neofetch
+```
+
+I recommend that you resize the terminal window so that the frames generated match the desired width and height. You can instead use the `-g` flag to pass in a geometry. ("100x30" creates a screen with 100 colums and 30 rows)
+
+Lastly, if you don't want an animation, you can pass in `-s` and the result will be a folder of SVG files representing each frame.
+
+```bash
+termtosvg -s
+```
+
+Here is an example of an animation I made with this tool:
