[Pharo-project] subStrings: suggestion

by Friedrich Dominicus

I do not know if that is standardized. But the current behavior of subStrings is that something like: '1;;2;3;4' subStrings: ';' yields: #('1' '2' '3' '4') that means the array may get longer or shorter with the same number of separators. Shouldn't there be some kind of alternative which would yield? #('1' '' '2' '3' '4') Maybe there is a reason for the first decision. If not what would be the problem with having it both ways? Regards Friedrich

I read a ton of PDFs on my iPad with GoodReader. It works perfectly well and can do text reflowing. ePub is fine for fiction books or books without too many graphics but for technical documents, I find it just sucks big time.

Please generate the full book instead of the individual chapters. Or do both, I do not mind, but the former is much more interesting to carry around (on my tablet for example).
