Not yet, but writing one for today's versions of all the tools is something I plan to do within a week. I can ping you if/when I get it up. I started with older links like this: https://pedrokroger.net/using-sphinx-write-technical-books/ https://pedrokroger.net/using-sphinx-write-technical-books/ This is inspiring but less useful: https://www.tompurl.com/2012-11-22-writing-a-book-with-vim.html https://www.tompurl.com/2012-11-22-writing-a-book-with-vim.h... This was useful for theming: https://github.com/FriendsOfEpub/eBookTricks https://github.com/FriendsOfEpub/eBookTricks

    thanks a lot, will go through and get back to you if I have clarifications :) some suggestions if I may: * could you add your website to your HN profile? https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=acidburnNSA https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=acidburnNSA - makes it easier to know about it, that was where I looked up first before commenting in this thread * just saw about your book on the website... for the regex video showcase, I see that you are using double quotes - I'd suggest to always use single quotes unless you need double quotes (see https://mywiki.wooledge.org/Quotes https://mywiki.wooledge.org/Quotes and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7680504/sed-substitution-with-bash-variables https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7680504/sed-substitution...) as double quotes are interpreted by the shell before it is passed to the command the topics covered in your book are super interesting and make for a nice workshop, will check it out :)

      Cool, thank you for the suggestions. I added info to my profile. Thanks for the tip on double-quotes! I didn't fully grasp that nuance. Hey, maybe I should try to put on a little workshop as a book promotion. Thanks again.
