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? |

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 |

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 |
| 19:56 |
|
moritz |
it's in build/UsingPerl6.*.tex |
| 19:57 |
|
moritz |
where the value of * depends on the paper format (a4, letter, custom) |

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. |

LlamaRider |
thanks; that should suffice to get me going |

moritz |
well, 'make html' creates a plain HTML file, but it's pretty crude |
| 20:01 |
|
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. |
| 20:11 |

LlamaRider |
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. |
