epub/fb2 are very desirable for self-education. PDF is also demanded mostly.

You can do epub and PDF by running npm epub already

I can do it. but still think it's a good idea to give noobs a link

As an example on how I'd like a ebook to look like. https://flibusta.is/b/619884/

I dont understand this link. But the r2book is availablr in html, epub and pdf. Its autogenerated so you dont tneed to generate anything . Just click the link. Im closing this issue because its already available

That's fair. Could anyone please share a link to a ready-built epub? as I wrote:

but still think it's a good idea to give noobs a link ... including right in the book itself. Please?

Its in the first link if you google for r2book or see the radare website

https://radare.gitbooks.io/radare2book/content/

Oh! I'm sorry, but we have a messy mess here:

  1. https://github.com/radareorg/radare2book has two links to http://book.rada.re/ ,
  2. which is the outdated version of the book and should be changed to redirect to the current version or terminated;
  3. all the gitbook links are broken.

Yes, I just realized that xvilka removed the gitbook account associated to this repository when they forked r2.. >_< .. well now I can setup things in github ci without depending on anyone or any external service or privative tooling. So this issue wont happen again.

I just integrated pandoc into the CI pipeline to generate the PDF file in there. it's far from perfect, but it's a beginning, you are welcome to try it out and send PRs improving the epub/pdf generation.

The root makefile should be the one in charge to make those PDF/EPUB files

Thanks!!

I didn't remove gitbook when we did a fork. It has happened before because GitBook switched to the paid account, and we migrated to the mdBook:
