I'd love to have a read of this on Kindle, PDF doesn't perform very well there. Might you consider a .mobi or .epub?

Derek-Jones commented 4 years ago

Asciidoc is used as the document preparation system, so in theory generating something other than pdf should be easy. In practice various scripts are used to transform the material before it is finally processed by LuaLaTex to produce a pdf, i.e., generating some form of html will need some work.

It is possible to generate just the figures in a html friendly way (at least it was until I started adding math formula to the captions).

Might a figures only version be useful as a way of searching for something of interest?

Fair enough! Thanks for triaging this for me. I don't think you need to spend your valuable time on a figures only version, the whole book was the goal of my post but I understand the technical constraints as you've explained them. Thanks
