i mean a recreation of https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/File:Rpb-basics.png

using tex i can re-create the page using different languages or add languages ... on the fly

OK. will svg exported to pdf be OK?

Glottotopia commented 9 years ago

looks as if the thing was done in vector in the first place. Maybe check with Markus who was the original creator. Otherwise, I can do this via inkscape

michal-fre commented 9 years ago

SVG would be ok - conversion to pdf should not be needed but will give feedback in any case

follow-up issue "tex: replace emoticons" -> https://github.com/refugee-phrasebook/backendscripts/issues/8

michal-fre commented 9 years ago

the svg should be placed on wikimedia and we place a reference to there this way we have the most current version

hello Michal, don't know about the tex format, but i created a 'what-you-need' icon template in the sandbox page: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Refugee_Phrasebook/sandbox and i'm working on a version for the Dutch/Belgium phrasebook here https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Refugee_Phrasebook/Welcome_to_the_Netherlands,_Belgium. it's easily transportable to html (for example) with pandoc.

i collected the svg-files from https://thenounproject.com/, they are either licenced under CC BY 3.0 US or in public domain. I saw your remark on this in the fb group, but as this page (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/) is saying You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made., i think this shouldn't be a problem(?). I uploaded this set of icons on wikibooks.
