Thanks. I will upload the source soon. As it is written in Lyx, not sure everyone will find it comfortable though. You can always open an issue in the meantime

- palerdot 10y agoGreat. I just created an issue. You might want to create few guidelines in the repo for creating patches regarding typo/grammatical issues so that you can focus on the actual content of the book. Nice job with the book.
- molteanu 10y agoJust curious why you chose Lyx and not Org, for example. I still have your "emacs mini manual" open in my browser all the time, so I'm sure you feel natural in org-mode too.
- tuhdo 10y agoWell, Org is suitable for small notes. But for the scope of this book, it's difficult to make Org work for such a complex layout (largely because I don't want to mess with the CSS). I used Lyx because it enabled me to focus on the content without all the markup text. Writing Latex in Emacs can reduce the distraction, but not enough. I just wanted to focus on the content at the time. Learning Latex is difficult enough, learning how to use the major mode at the same time doubles the difficulty. Obviously, I still use Emacs daily for writing code and other things. Just not for writing book.
- BlackjackCF 10y agoPlease do! I would also love to help you correct grammar issues via PR.
- tuhdo 10y agoThank you! I already put the book source online. You can use Lyx to edit the book source file.
