Would you consider open sourcing the book? What systems are you using to create and maintain it?


Hello rijoja, I'm currently thinking about it.

I'm writing the book with Lyx. Lyx documents are converted to LaTeX docs, then converted to HTML with pandoc. Then I have a homemade Go script that generates the VueJs components (one per chapter).

This question is asked a lot so I will write something about the system because it can help other writers.


Surprised you didn't use Hugo for your website instead. Since Hugo is written in Go, and it's blazing fast.

Thanks for your work anyhow :)
