WRITING A BOOK (MARKUP LANGUAGE?)

Name: Anonymous 2008-11-15 13:32

Hi /prog/ I'm writing a book wondering what lightweight markup language I could use.

DocBook, ReST, ASCIIDoc, Maruku (Markdown+meta), or Textile?

The fuck?  A markup language for book writing?  That's what MS word is for (or open office if you're a cheap GNU hippie)

I bet you create web pages in MS word. (Or FrontPage, perhaps.)

Hi, been a long time lurker on this board.. but I feel I have to speak out at this moment.
 
Never on The 4Chan Programming board have I seen someone be so horrible and with no provocation, utterly appalling.
 
That was uncalled for and just plain rude.

so, OP here

I played with all of them, basically I decided on Textile and I'm writing my own parser to split the HTML output into several pages.

I'm a little worried about Textile to PDF/LaTeX for print, but I doubt this will ever make it to print anyways. Right now I'm just focused on sharing it online.

Thanks for the help faggots.

I like Lyx, a front-end for LaTeX, a lot, because it makes things simpler by showing you all the options, and provides a preview of sorts in the editing window.
