I've been playing around with a "formatted stream" that renders to a PDF,
and have gotten some of the Factor Help system to output to PDF. Would
something like this be useful?
See these PDF's for examples:
"Factor Cookbook"
https://raw.github.com/mrjbq7/re-factor/master/docs/cookbook.pdf
"Your First Program"
https://raw.github.com/mrjbq7/re-factor/master/docs/first-program.pdf
"Factor Handbook"
https://raw.github.com/mrjbq7/re-factor/master/docs/handbook.pdf
(Note: its a work-in-progress and so some of the formatting instructions
aren't fully supported. And I'd love to get intra-document links to
work.).
By the way, for the curious, it's about as easy as:
( scratchpad ) [ "cookbook" print-topic ] with-pdf-writer
Thanks,
John.
