| LlamaRider | Hi. Is there a pure LaTeX version of the P6 book available somewhere? Or is there an easy way to generate it from the POD? | 19:54 | |
| moritz | LlamaRider: the reaon is that writing source code examples inside latex is a pain | 19:55 | |
| erm | |||
| LlamaRider: 'make' creates the .tex first, then the PDF from the tex | |||
| moritz misread the question at first, sorry | 19:56 | ||
| LlamaRider | So it's somewhat obvious to get the .tex , good. Just wanted to check prior to trying | ||
| moritz | it's in build/UsingPerl6.*.tex | ||
| where the value of * depends on the paper format (a4, letter, custom) | 19:57 | ||
| LlamaRider | To state my intentions - I'm a co-dev of a TeX to anything-XML converter and wanted to give the book a spin with our software. You probably have your own HTML and/or eBook workflow, but it would be cool if ours works as well. | ||
| thanks; that should suffice to get me going | 19:58 | ||
| moritz | well, 'make html' creates a plain HTML file, but it's pretty crude | ||
| LlamaRider | ah, it goes the POD->HTML route, I see. That should be worse than what you can get out of TeX I guess, depends how good the CPAN module is. | 20:01 | |
| ok, I've done some first tests; I should pop back online in a week or two if all goes well and give you some nice examples of an HTML and possibly ePub version. Will take a bit of additional enhancements to make it pretty. | 20:11 | ||
