| sahadev | Hello. Here's my take on the sidebar issue (use.perl.org/~masak/journal/40385). The patch is at gist.github.com/433567 | 20:15 | |
| Two things: 1. instead of patching Pod::PseudoPod::LaTeX, I monkey-patched the script bin/book-to-latex. | 20:16 | ||
| 2. the =sidebar section in the multi-dispatch.pod file had to be moved up. I am not sure if this is really satisfactory. | 20:17 | ||
| moritz_ | sahadev++ | ||
| PerlJam | sahadev: what does it look like rendered? | ||
| sahadev | let me see if i can upload the .pdf file somewhere. | 20:18 | |
| oh, one more thing. it uses a new TeX package called 'wrapfig'. | |||
| PerlJam | Hmm. that sidebar looks more like a footnote than a sidebar | ||
| moritz_ | sahadev: we've already received a submission on p6c (masak++ should really update his blog post), and I've incorporated it just two hours ago... | 20:19 | |
| sahadev: I'll take a look at your patch too, and see what I like better | |||
| PerlJam | sahadev++ for sure though. The more, the merrier in this case :) | 20:20 | |
| moritz_ | PerlJam: "real" sidebars are probably too narrow | ||
| sahadev | kailasa.net/tmp/book.pdf | ||
| moritz_: of course. whatever is better. | 20:21 | ||
| PerlJam: i also think that it would look better as a footnote. | |||
| PerlJam | I meant in terms of content. A footnote is generally just one or two sentences that would be parenthetical to the main point. A sidebar is generally a longer bit of text that has a point of its own. | 20:22 | |
| sahadev: I like your sidebar, but the rest of the formatting of your PDF seems off in places :) | 20:23 | ||
| sahadev | PerlJam: can you point out those places? | ||
| it could be due to my working copy is out of date. | 20:24 | ||
| PerlJam | sahadev: page 32 | ||
| moritz_ | some of the formatting is messed up with the released version of Pod::PseudoPod::LaTeX | ||
| there's a dev version on my github repo that fixes all the issues I know of | |||
| PerlJam | prod chromatic for a release? | 20:25 | |
| moritz_ | PerlJam: sent a pull request today | ||
| PerlJam | ah. | ||
| moritz_ | PerlJam: should probably emphasize a bit more :-) | ||
| PerlJam | anyway ... sahadev++ | 20:26 | |
| and moritz_++ for the challenges :) | 20:27 | ||
| moritz_ | indeed | ||
| and masak++ for doing this last one | |||
| PerlJam | everybody++ | ||
| sahadev | PerlJam: yeah :( my patch relies on the =sidebar section be placed (moved up a little) appropriately, so the rendered version shows it in the right place. | ||
| PerlJam | (for spreading the love :) | ||
| moritz_ | sahadev: and you're now in the pool of people that might win a nice Perl 6 t-shirt | 20:28 | |
| sahadev | that'd be great :) | ||
| moritz_ | currently I have funds for 2 t-shirts + 100$ from perl foundation | 20:29 | |
| don't know how many shirts + shipment I get for that | |||
| so, maybe 6 to 10 t-shirts... with about 15 people contributing so far | 20:30 | ||
| chances aren't too bad | |||
| sahadev | moritz_: i like the shadow effect on sidebars in your version. | 20:32 | |
| moritz_: i tweaked my version a little bit. here's the patch: gist.github.com/433654 and the pdf: kailasa.net/tmp/book.pdf | 21:25 | ||
| used slightly smaller font for sidebar text. | |||
| moved a couple of the =sidebar sections a bit, so they appear properly in the output. | 21:26 | ||
| also, used relative widths instead of hardcoded widths. | |||
| PerlJam | nice. | 21:30 | |
| The more I look at it though, the more I think it should be a footnote. | |||
| I mean, what is the "this" that the sidebar referes to? There's no link between the sidebar and the text. | 21:31 | ||
