Epub version #34

Are there any chances for epub version. Since this book is written in markdown, creating ebook with gitbook should be easy.

Overv commented 9 years ago

I'll consider it, but I'll have to investigate how well gitbook works with the math expressions and such.

you'll need to change the images though to ![](url)

I second the epub, and if possible pdf would be nice also! I imagine that using gitbook as previously stated would give you pdf generation for free essentially.

Overv commented 7 years ago

I just tried to use gitbook to make a PDF, but I had a very bad experience. The official GitBook editor I used to convert the site to the gitbook version of Markdown kept freezing and used 1 GB of RAM, and I when I tried to use npm to install the PDF exporter, I got some unknown JavaScript error. I think someone with gitbook experience should convert it and then I'll link it here.

Maybe try Pandoc, I think it supports pretty much every format under the sun

maluramichael commented 7 years ago

This would be so cool. Was searching exactly for this.

Maybe this is something for you: https://github.com/magicbookproject/magicbook Daniel Shiffman uses this for his book Nature of Code http://natureofcode.com/book/

Overv commented 7 years ago

I could try Pandoc, since magicbook doesn't support epub.

Overv commented 7 years ago

Pandoc is great, there are now EPUB and PDF versions of the guide available, see the README for links!

maluramichael commented 7 years ago

Really nice. Only the epub version has some errors. mosaic capture 2017-05-3 at 08 43 57
