What a neat little book! I suppose this was typeset in TeX. How did they optimize for smaller width though?
Edit: I found the style templates on author's webpage [1].

- abhayhegde 3y agoIf you have texlive-extra installed, this mobile-friendly PDF can be converted to a desktop-readable format using: pdfxup -o lbdla4.pdf -ow -im 10 -m 40 -is 0 -fw 0 --portrait -nup 2x2 lbdl.pdf
- lamontcg 3y agoAre there arguments to that to tile it by columns first instead of rows? (but not one long column all the way down the left to the end and then one long column on the right, just want to shuffle the order on each page). It reads kind of r/nosafetysmokingfirst to me. (And its `brew install texlive` on mac to get pdfxup for anyone else wondering)
- hota_mazi 3y agoI know La/TeX is the standard for this but I'm still irritated that it forces all diagrams to appear at the top of the page, which really gets in the way of explaining things clearly. This books suffers a lot from this limitation, with figures sometimes appearing 5 pages before they are actually referenced in the text.
- abhayhegde 3y agoI am not sure if that is entirely correct. For e.g., see p.no. 14-15 where the diagrams appear at the bottom of the page. But, I agree that usually it is not easy to place images where you want in LaTeX.
