For example, most pictures in a technical book are some sort of screenshots. These screenshots could easily be produced with snippets that could be generated. YES! YES! YES! This would be fantastic! I had planned, after I finished porting the LaserGame tutorial to Pharo, to look at making a way to "run the book" to generate the pictures, to make it easier for pictures to track Pharo releases. But currently that is after I finish understanding the Delay machinery, which is after I finish polishing my changes to Transcript, which is after I finish PointerDetective.

To make it more likely and more enjoyable for people to write more of it, I teamed up with Andrei and Jan to build up support for Pillar in the GTInspector.The current solution brings the following: - Pillar specific syntax highlighting including Shout highlighting for code snippets - Embedded files validation and preview possibility - Quick browsing of Pillar book projects when inspecting the book folder - Class comment rendering using Pillar syntax when inspecting the class object - Text editor support for custom highlighting in Glamour (using Rubric for now) - Island parsing for quick specification of incomplete parser You can learn more about it here: http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/writing-pillar-books-with-the-gtinspector [image: Inline image 1] There is much more to do in this direction, and I would be happy to inspire some of you to join forces. Please let us know what you think. Cheers, Doru |
