Re: [Pharo-users] I wish there were ePUB versions of Pharo books
You can generate Markdown from Pillar and after generate an ePub. Have a look to gitbook.com, this is really easy to do that with their workflow. For example for this draft Pillar book : https://www.gitbook.com/book/sergestinckwich/modelling-infectious-diseases-with-kendrick/details is available as - pdf : https://www.gitbook.com/download/pdf/book/sergestinckwich/modelling-infectious-diseases-with-kendrick - html : https://sergestinckwich.gitbooks.io/modelling-infectious-diseases-with-kendrick/content/ - ePub : https://www.gitbook.com/download/epub/book/sergestinckwich/modelling-infectious-diseases-with-kendrick Regards, On Thu, Feb 25, 2016 at 7:04 PM, MartinW wrote: > I like Pharo's new book site: http://files.pharo.org/books/ > > And since I use a tablet more often, I wish there were ePUB versions of the > books. > > Why is it important? > You could change the color scheme to light text on dark background and > increase font sizes and thus have a much more comfortable reading experience > than with PDFs. > > I remember there was some talk about this some time ago. > > Best regards, > Martin. > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://forum.world.st/I-wish-there-were-ePUB-versions-of-Pharo-books-tp4880836.html > Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/
Re: [Pharo-users] I wish there were ePUB versions of Pharo books
Alternatively, convertor from pdf to epub are available and free. Pillar can generate pdf. I know converting does not produce a file as good as if there were a pillar exporter, but that's a good enough temporary solution to me. 2016-02-25 22:54 GMT+01:00 stepharo : > Hi martin > > Why don't you give a try? > Pillar has > - a nice document > - some nice visitors > - nice test system > So someone can extend it. > Because we cannot do everything.

If you have pointers on epub let us know so that we gather information on it. Stef Le 26/2/16 08:52, MartinW a écrit : I can imagine that you are busy.

Hi martin Why don't you give a try? Pillar has - a nice document - some nice visitors - nice test system So someone can extend it. Because we cannot do everything. You cannot imagine how we are busy right now.

I don't volunteer, but the ebook creator of the ProGit book creates really good looking book, with a menu to access the chapters. https://github.com/progit/progit/blob/master/README.original.md Regards!

ePub export should be pretty easy to add to Pillar, based on the existing html export. Any volunteers ?
