I found a bug in Pillar syntax
when I type 3 + 4 , it seems like it takes + as part of the pillar syntax and uses latex syntax and when it tries to generate the pdf it fails so I am forced now to type it as raw text like this : {{{3+4}}}
Itâs not a bug, itâs a feature :). Iâd suggest you to use something like ==inline code== for wrapping of ââitalicâ'.
also I would like the ability to have a dark background for text like we do with smalltalk syntax .
I donât really understand what you need. If you need to style the result, it should be done outside of pillar.
Pharo Tour chapters proceeds well, I compile to both latex html and pdf , I see no problems so far with my text, I copy my text directly from the latex files of the original PBE in github.
I also improved the Readme.

I also added Chapter 1 - Quick Tour in Pharo. Just the first part , the chapter is of course still a WIP.
I am not so sure what you mean about automated tests, are they for the example code ?
if you see in the tex when we have example we also have a tag that indicates that the code can be extracted and run. I do not remember but oscar did a script and we where able to automatically verify that all the simple examples were correctly working with a version of Pharo.
Now in Pillar we should introduce the notion of tag to support at the word level. - index - comment - citation
I am all for automation.

What would be good is to make the automated tests working again because we could spot if we got some regressions.

How I can help improve Pharo by Example , add chapters and update current ones for Pharo 3 ?
What is the process ?
