Horrible process. Are they going to do the index, or do you have
that joy?
"Near death" is more like it. But I hope the result was worth the
fuss.
I'll do my own index. By choice!
Andrei
I read once that Donald Knuth didn't like what his publisher &
type-setter were doing for one of his CS books so he decided to do
his own type-setting. Also by choice. The result, of course, was
TeX.
Justin
Much as I love my name being mentioned next to Knuth's, I doubt
anything like TeX will come out of my decision :o). Anyhow, the making
of TDPL was a very interesting experience. I hope one day to write an
article about it.
Andrei
Some kind of word/phrase selector tool would be interesting. Comparing the
occurrence rate of phrases from your text to some relevant corpus and selecting
based on that might make for a starting point...
