finished Chapter 4. Damien your automatic conversion tool worked very well for me, it has been a huge boost to my workflow, there are problems with it that I keep reporting to its github repo . I definitely see if these minor problems are removed that the automatic conversion will do 90% of the work for you. I am sure these problems will be fixed very soon.��

The things not converted at all like tables etc, which you find hard to parse , its not really a big deal fortunately there are not that many of them. So its not a problem to do them manually.

I also love Pillar , its simple, elegant and very easy to use for anyone that wants to produce pdf and html documentation. I would say that your Pillar experiment has been a huge success and I hope one day we will see it also included inside Pharo as on board documentation tool instead of a command line tool only.

In 2 months time I have managed to port 30% of the PBE to Pillar and I also added new stuff and replaced images with latest look from Pharo 3. Now with the automatic conversion its should be fairly easy to do the rest 70% till the end of the year. ��

ok I leave it to your capable hands and I will try to position images at the start of the page , though that is easier said than done :D


no! Don't do anything like that. LaTeX is capable of doing it by itself. You don't know where the page boundaries will be so it is hopeless for you :-). What you must ensure though, is that all figures are properly referenced in the text. This is a good example:

... bla... bla... see Figure *fig:myfig*.

This is a bad example:

... bla... bla... see figure below:

This is bad because you can't be sure the figure will be below (it can also be above, LaTeX decides).

In any case chapters need proof reading so what I commit should never consider "the final version". But I always try to produce as much quality as I can.��


No problem.
