Michael, I know you are a BIG LaTeX fan, so it will be a hard sell to change to anything else. :-) Anyway, here might be another solution. Ever heard of PanDoc? It's a document parser that can convert from many text formats to many other text formats.
Here is one example (and where I found out about PanDoc). The author Scott Chacon wrote and published a book called "Pro Git". You can purchase it on Amazon. Apress has since released the book under the Creative Commons license. So the author placed the original content on GitHub. Pro Git: http://github.com/progit/progit Amazingly, the complete book was written in MarkDown text formatting. They used a small script which use PanDoc to generate a LaTeX output and then processes that to a PDF. They also processed the original MarkDown to HTML output - viewable on the website. In both cases (PDF and HTML), they are very readable and easy to navigate. I don't know PanDoc, but judging by the output it generate for the Pro Git book, I am quite impressed. Pro Git HTML book is online at: http://progit.org/book Pro Git PDF book from LaTeX is at: http://netsoc.tcd.ie/~duairc/progit.en.pdf You can obviously generate your own PDF version if you have PanDoc and LaTeX installed. Anyway, I just thought I would mention this. But for the FPC documentation, I still prefer the PDF versions. The have a clean layout, easy to use with hyperlink support and searchable. Now I only need to find a local printer in South Africa so I can get actual hard-copies of them. I have a lot of eBooks I would like hard-copies of. :-( Regards, - Graeme - -- fpGUI Toolkit - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
