finished Chapter 4. Damien your automatic conversion tool worked very well for me, it has been a huge boost to my workflow, there are problems with it that I keep reporting to its github repo . I definitely see if these minor problems are removed that the automatic conversion will do 90% of the work for you. I am sure these problems will be fixed very soon.
The things not converted at all like tables etc, which you find hard to parse , its not really a big deal fortunately there are not that many of them. So its not a problem to do them manually. I also love Pillar , its simple, elegant and very easy to use for anyone that wants to produce pdf and html documentation. I would say that your Pillar experiment has been a huge success and I hope one day we will see it also included inside Pharo as on board documentation tool instead of a command line tool only. In 2 months time I have managed to port 30% of the PBE to Pillar and I also added new stuff and replaced images with latest look from Pharo 3. Now with the automatic conversion its should be fairly easy to do the rest 70% till the end of the year.
