Thanks to all who have said nice things about the book, please feel free to say some more! 😊 Bear in mind the ending could be a bit better! However, I'm working on the sequel already, all the eMagazine stuff should find its way into the follow up. At least, that's the plan.
Marcos: I write docbook in raw XML sometimes, but mostly in XML Mind's XXX editor which used to be free some number of releases ago, but no longer is unfortunately. I use it for my occasional work with Firebird Database manuals. (firebirdsql.org) So I already had my files and it was a simple enough task to convert to LaTeX but the hard part was sorting out the various special characters, maths, etc from the originals. Db2latex did most of the hard work though. I use VerbTeX on my phone too, for the LaTeX stuff. I find it amusing that I can get typeset quality on a phone! I also use Markdown, from time to time. I think these days, anyone writing in a proprietary or "one format only" format is causing themselves no end of hassle. Don't mention Word! I have enough problems at work with that! I am aware do Ascii Doc too, tried it a couple of years back before "standardising" on Docbook and a Fedora utility called "publican" but after the author of the "Debian Administrators' Hand Book" told me about LaTeX, I decided to try it out and was I pressed with the quality. And finally, Caroline, if you did write assemblers in the 80's, please don't look too hard at my code! 😉 Cheers, Norm. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
