Looks great, will buy. This is not a criticism of this book: does anyone have a hack to add syntax highlighting to any of the ebook formats? I understand why colored syntax highlighting isn't provided in paper formats, but I don't understand why publishers don't use it in ebooks on programming.
- famousactress 14y agoA hack for adding it sounds like such a clever idea! I'd love that.
- khalstvedt 14y agoSome do, I know at least http://pragprog.com/ http://pragprog.com/ A hack to parse and add to existing ebooks would be quite handy, though.
- __mharrison__ 14y agoIt doesn't have to be a "hack". Most modern devices would support it just fine. The main problem is the older kindle devices that only support the mobi7 format. An author is likely to get dinged on reviews if formatting on older eink devices is poor. So in practice the lowest common denominator wins out...
- pydanny 14y agoYou're right. We took it out because it looked awful on certain devices.
