I have submitted a pull request for the Reddit booklet - I didn���t get a chance to try the docker image to see the results (I will get up to speed with that) - but I didn���t want to have a branch out for too long.

Its my first try at this (I liked the tutorial, it taught me a lot), and I wasn���t sure how much to change in the text (and I certainly don���t want to upset any previous authors - as its very readable in its present form).

Hi tim

you can follow the pillar chapter in entreprise book.
Now to produce pdf you have to install latex so I would not worry and do the pull request. 
I will set up a jenkins job for each of the booklet so that people do not have to install latex.

Hi - so I forked a repo (the Reddit one), and am reading through it to check for typos (I���ve see a few). Obviously I can correct those, but how do I actually preview my changes to ensure I haven���t screwed it all up?

I���m guessing I need to install Docker and pull down a specific image - which I can then use to generate the output to test it? Or, is there an ST image that I can run on this directory?

As a quick scan of whats in a book repo - it all looks a bit more complicated than I expected - with make files and what look like ���inplace templates��� (as in format1.format2.format3 etc). Having played around with Metalsmith.io I think its sort of similar, but It seems like there is more to learn somehow?

Hi phil

yes I loved this idea. We got burned by that too. 

About pillar. The departure of Damien was not expected and it slows us quite a bit. 

We (mainly me helped with maxime) are working on 
- making the pillar core nicer
- less dependencies
- and with a small in image renderer :) We had fun with guille 


- In the pharo 60 version I started to clean the command-line. 
- merged many unmerged changes.

But even with all the tests it is not easy....
I'm testing in addition with reall 
- book production
- slides
- html

But it takes time and energy. I'm trying to remove the dependencies to magritte for example.

For books, there is the docker-texlive thing from Damien that we
looked into yesterday because TexLive was giving some headaches.

https://github.com/philippeback/docker-texlive

has my current thing for one to build a container with all
prerequisites for TexLive and Pharo installed.

Idea is to clone the book repo on the host and get into an container
to build the book.

There is a /work volume that can be mapped onto the host with the
docker run's -v command.

Then just use ./download.sh in there to install Pharo and pillar in
the container. Do not do that in the host or you'll end up with wrong
versions (like my host is CentOS and the container is Ubuntu, even
worse with host is macOS or Windows).

Then "make book" should give a book in build/
There is a "make wipeout" command that obliterates the build folder
for good so you can start clean. No harm done on your files.

Will document more of this but woul dbe nice if someone could check
this out too.

There is a script in base/ to build the docker image.
