[NEEDING HELP] Translation of Ali Cehreli's book in French
(sorry for the cross posting, fu2 digitalmars.D) Hello everybody, I'm the current translator of Ali Cehreli's book in French. You can find it there: http://dlang-fr.org/cours/programmer-en-d/ So far, I translated 48 chapters, and I began the 49th. My work is versioned here: SSH: g...@gitorious.org:programmez-en-d/programmez-en-d.git HTTPS: https://gitorious.org/programmez-en-d/programmez-en-d.git I write here today to announce that despite my efforts, I'm afraid I can't find enough time and energy to keep translating the book anymore. There are just too many things to get done beside this project. I am willing to organize a translation group to finish the translation to get this wonderful piece of work within French speaking people's reach. Is anybody interested? Don't hesitate to send me an email if you are willing to get involved, even for the smallest task. There are no small tasks when a work is to get completed. I will tell you how to help. ps: Due to technical reasons, I lost corrections people brought by using the correction module present on the page. I'm really sorry for this. This mean there are known errors in the current translation. This also mean proofreading is also absolutely needed. If there is anything you need, don't hesitate to tell me, I'll try to answer the best I can do. Thanks for your attention, Cheers, Raphaël.

Mine too. However, PDF is for fixed layout and any future book should

Idk Makura version (leanpub's specification) is pretty nice.
You really don't think about formatting much. You just make the content
and let it do the rest.
Everything you put into the markdown documents themselves are pretty
straight forward easy to read and understand e.g.
{title=On top of code snippet text}
```D
void main() {
import std.stdio;
writeln(Hello World!);
}
```
And yes it support D code blocks :D Much better then my previous method
of using images. In fact this is a requirement for me.
You can configure Makura's generation via a config file which includes
output page size. So right now leanpub is generating pdf's that can be
used on lulu.com. There is some modifications need to be done e.g. blank
last page. But that's about it. Specifically for a pocketbook.
I would highly recommend giving leanpub a go. I absolutely fell in love
with it.
In fact I'm seriously considering implementing Makura in D once I have a
good pdf generation library. I know we already have a markdown library
but I might just make my own.

Rather enjoyable.
I loved that I could just write my content. Maybe splash some hashes or
{pagebreak} in there.
Although I lost a lot of control especially since leanpub's system isn't
opensource unfortunately. But I intend to fix that one day ;)
