Helping write the book

[xfbs]

Hello Mr. Carpenter,

I would like to offer my assistance in writing this book. I am both an IPv6 nerd, and a LaTeX-diagramming nerd. I have two concrete ideas that I think I could help with:

• I could help automate the generation of the PDF, so that any time a commit is made, a fresh PDF is generated by GitHub Actions. That might make it easier to always have an up-to-date PDF for people to look at, and doesn't require you to manually build it.
• I could also help with generating diagrams, graphics, graphs, pretty tables and such. Perhaps that might be useful to you so that you can focus on the content. I can use the various diagramming packages that LaTeX offers to make pretty illustrations.

For example, the bytefield package should let us create some nice renderings of things like IPv6 package formats. Here's an example:

There are many more packages in LaTeX I enjoy working with that could give the book a consistent style.

If you think there is a utility in me making a run over the source and LaTeX-ify digagrams and such, I would be quite happy to do that. I figured I'd ask first if you think it's a good idea before I do it.

Cheers, Patrick
