Ebook version? #66
Comments
Hi satwikkansal, I would try converting your README.md with pandoc at first, just to see if the results are okay: Pandoc support a huge list of formats, including pdf and epub, so that could help you a lot. Code can be quite tricky in ebooks, because of the different display sizes of the readers. Maybe you could just stick to one size or one ebook reader at first. Amazons Kindle Textbook Creator could be helpful for this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1002998671 I hope that helps a bit. :) |
Hey @dirksteindorf Thanks for the suggestion. Let's give these tools a try! If it works well, we can share the pdf this way for the time being. |
I had another general query as well. I feel that books are supposed to be more formal, organized: following a proper format, and descriptive than wtfpython is right now (maybe I'm wrong believing that). So if someone can help me figure out if this project is actually worth a book, and up to how much extent (according to them) should we work in formalizing the structure and content, then it'd make things easier to plan. |

Ah, got it. All the titles ending with non alphanuerice characters (like |
I think for now, I can remove those characters at the end and generate the pdf. And I'll create an upstream issue for it, so that we can have a better approach later on. |
Hey guys,
I was preparing a pdf for the collection, while a friend of mine recommended me to put in some extra effort to release an ebook version for the same.
I have absolutely no experience with this and I doubt if it'd be an overkill. That's why I've opened up this issue, maybe someone having prior experience with all this can help me in figuring out what to do and if it actually makes sense to do so 😅
