I have just ported 4.1 section of PBE to pillar. The automatic conversion tool of Damien does not work with tables so I did that by hand. But I also observed that table in pillar does not wrap text that spans more than one line in one cell, instead it lets it go outside the boundaries of the pdf which makes text impossible to read. I had to shorten the table on third column to make it fit inside the boundaries of PDF which solved the problem but I report it as well because I assume this is not desirable behaviour. For the record also automatic conversion does not convert latex emphasis , things that are in italics to be precise. also C++ has a a latex shortcut that needs to be added to the automatic conversion. Other than that its definitely a big improvement over the problematic copying from pdf so I recommend it to anyone porting documentation that is available in latex.

Yes we should really improve it but we are all busy :)

Thanks Kilon for these bug reports. Could you please report the latex2pillar-related ones on https://github.com/pillar-markup/pillar-mode ? For the table conversion, there is no way I will implement it, it is just too difficult. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm."

done about the table conversion is it also hard to output just the text of the table , with no formatting, inside /table tags or something like that ? I know emacs lisp but I used it only to setup my init.el for extremely simple stuff. On Mon, Jun 23, 2014 at 12:22 PM, Damien Cassou <damien.cassou@gmail.com> wrote:
