epub/mobi/html5 version

[hmemcpy]

Tried to do this myself. Failed miserably :) Could not get pandoc to work - it did not include any of the subfiles, although according to this issue, they should be supported. Perhaps the problem is with the directory layout?

Yes please - I'd love an epub/mobi version too.

I'll have a go at this. I'm not sure I can fix it, but it's worth trying.

I'll share how far I've come in my attempt. TL;DR: ePub successfully generated, but still a few issues.

Install pandoc > 2.1, then cd milewski-ctfp-pdf/src and:

pandoc ctfp.tex -o category-theory-for-programmers.epub --webtex -M author="Bartosz Milewski" -M title="Category Theory for Programmers" --resource-path=.:content/0.0:content/1.1:content/1.10:content/1.2:content/1.3:content/1.4:content/1.5:content/1.6:content/1.7:content/1.8:content/1.9:content/2.1:content/2.2:content/2.3:content/2.4:content/2.5:content/2.6:content/3.1:content/3.10:content/3.11:content/3.12:content/3.13:content/3.14:content/3.15:content/3.2:content/3.3:content/3.4:content/3.5:content/3.6:content/3.7:content/3.8:content/3.9

See https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/3983 for a discussion about how pandoc handles this LaTeX project, but basically:

• use --resource-path with all image directories because of the \renewcommand*{\subfile} in this LaTeX project.
• use --webtex to convert MathML to SVG because most eReaders don't support MathML, see https://pandoc.org/epub.html#math

TODO:

• rename Monads, Monoids, and Categories file to not use commas.
• ...?

Pandoc does handle \renewcommand to some extent, but obviously it cannot reimplement all of TeX macro behaviours. I guess it's debatable what should be fixed in pandoc and what things are just too non-standard in this LaTeX source for pandoc to re-implement...

Here my generated epub: category-theory-for-programmers.zip (rename .zip to .epub after download)

Wow, this looks fantastic! I've removed a bunch of unneeded macros already, but it seems there's more work to be done. Thank you so much for the effort! I'll see if I can help in any way by simplifying things further...

I'm currently working on the ePub version, and after being finished, i will also target mobi(using KindleGen) and HTML(I can export, but I need a better styling for the HTML version).

The project is here if you guys are interested, and I'm following this guide mostly.

Has there been any more progress on this, and are there any specific issues that need handling?

I'm especially interested in seeing the scala version in eBook form
