Hi,

About active essays and writing documentation inside Pharo, I'm trying to bring some experience on writing using a tree/outliner like interface for it. Questions are in another thread, but I hope to help with some kind of "dynabooklets", for the moment using pandoc's markdown, wich seems better known and suited for academical writing, but may be at some point it can share some Pillar insights.

Cheers,

Offray

great point , I think that Pillar already does this but its not exactly hassle
free. I have to say I really like Pillar, very simple syntax, it generates pdf
and hmtl ouput as well latex. Still will be an extra effort to bring it inside
Pharo in a form of an editor. But frankly if you want to make your own
documentation with Pillar is already very easy and the final result looks very
good.

     "insane" may be the key term here. We could be inventing executable active
     essays, which is the kind of magic our live environment makes possible,
     instead of writing and rewriting paper docs that quickly go stale.
     Non-executable docs are a duplication smell and maintenance hassle.
     Text-only is one of the least-effective ways to communicate. I'd love to 
see
     more lively kernel style docs</rant>
