Can someone detail the differences from the original? Looks subtle to me. How are we defining “pretty?”

- tux1968 3y agoBeing "pretty" seems to be an editorial comment from the person who posted this link. At least, I don't see that claim being prominent anywhere in the Github repo. The goals of the project are rather to extricate the text from pdf format, to make it more available and adaptable.
- Sardtok 3y agoThe title of the project on Github is Make Project Oberon Pretty Again, it's not something added to the HN post. "The last edition -- from 2013 -- could use some tender loving care. It should look beautiful." - the paragraph that introduces the goals of the project.
- codeflo 3y agoI'm not sure if you've found a better version of the original, but this is the document I found: https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/ProjectOberon/PO.System.pdf https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/ProjectOberon/PO.System.pdf It's typeset in Arial. In freaking Microsoft Word.
