[Factor-talk] Printing the docs
I would like a hard copy of the documentation and I asked for help on the IRC last night and got some help: documentation is in **/*-docs.factor. you can run USE: help.html generate-help to generate HTML help, which will give you the same thing that's on docs.factorcode.org I tried to run this in the listener but if it generated the documentation in a folder I can't find it. Sorry to be so dumb, if someone could tell me how to print the documentation I promise not to ask so many dumb question :) -Patrick -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA http://p.sf.net/sfu/rim-devcon-copy2 ___ Factor-talk mailing list Factor-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/factor-talk

It looks like the files are generated into temp/docs under the Factor directory. -Joe smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA http://p.sf.net/sfu/rim-devcon-copy2___ Factor-talk mailing list Factor-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/factor-talk
Re: [Factor-talk] Printing the docs
Which parts of the documentation are you looking for? I wrote some code to generate PDF's from parts of the Factor documentation: First Program ( first-program help ) https://github.com/mrjbq7/re-factor/raw/master/docs/first-program.pdf Cookbook ( cookbook help ) https://github.com/mrjbq7/re-factor/raw/master/docs/cookbook.pdf Language ( handbook-language-reference help ) https://github.com/mrjbq7/re-factor/raw/master/docs/handbook.pdf System ( handbook-system-reference help ) https://github.com/mrjbq7/re-factor/raw/master/docs/system.pdf Tools ( handbook-tools-reference help ) https://github.com/mrjbq7/re-factor/raw/master/docs/tools.pdf Best, John.

Hi John This is a big help thanks! This will keep me busy for a while. I was planning on printing all of the documentation but thanks to Joe and the fellow on IRC I have a folder of html documents and I can see there is a crap-load of documentation here(how did you guys even write this?). I was also thinking about printing out all of the factor files in the source but it looks like it would be 4600 pages. At 30 cents a sheet for colour(I like syntax highlighting) that would kill my wallet(actually several wallets) and a tree too :) I'm not joking, I am thinking about factor at night when I dream, it's absolutely fascinating but I am having a hard time learning it. With most languages you can learn the core first and the libraries later, with factor the line between the two is fuzzy and it seems like a full blown effort is required. -Patrick -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA http://p.sf.net/sfu/rim-devcon-copy2 ___ Factor-talk mailing list Factor-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/factor-talk

Try picking a problem to solve in Factor and you can learn the libraries as you go. As John recommended, the contents of core/ are a decent definition for core language—that's the essential part of Factor that it requires to bootstrap itself. -Joe smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature -- BlackBerryreg; DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA http://p.sf.net/sfu/rim-devcon-copy2___ Factor-talk mailing list Factor-talk@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/factor-talk
