You've probably heard this before, but excellent job on creating PDFs for Wikibooks. The C# one you just posted is awesome. I'll be looking forward to a print version of the Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter in the near future once we finalize a few things there. -within focus 20:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I'll be sure to do the Muggles' Guide, let me know when its ready. Also let me know if you have any improvements to make or if I'm doing something horribly wrong typesetting-wise! --hagindaz 03:31, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Write yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours PDF
Impressive! Judging from the typesetting, you seem to have converted it to LaTeX. Do you have a way of automating this? If not, I'm hoping that someday, somebody gets around to writing a mediawiki parser for Pandoc -- Kowey 11:20, 16 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I converted a few simple tags automatically (sorry, in Java :P), but went through the document and did the rest manually. The LaTeX is here. I was learning LaTeX while working on it, so please correct any mistakes you might find. --hagindaz 13:36, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi,

You evidently produced a PDF of my Unilingua wikibook. Any chance you could do it again, because I have made very extensive revisions over the past year. Thanks.

 * Sure, I'll do it sometime this weekend. --hagindaz 04:20, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

BIG contribution to French Textbook
Hello, Greetings from the OLPC project. I have a French professor from Slovenia with an online coursebook of Year One French (as a Foreign Language) that he would like to donate to the OLPC project. Wikibooks is of course, the best place for this sort of content.

You seem to have structured a great deal of the planning of the French textbook, would you like to help me structure the wikification? I haven't ever fed a book to wikibooks before, and I'm curious as to the care and handling of such a beast. Sethwoodworth 22:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Sure, I'll be glad to help! Where's the textbook located now? --hagindaz 23:02, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * It's in a long series of emails as .html attachments. He mentioned that it was on the web as well.    Unfortunately I don't speak french, so I have little idea what I'm looking at. Sethwoodworth 23:44, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

PDF Template
Dear Hagindaz,

I saw you great file for making from wikibooks a nice pdf. Do you have a more clear description on how to do it? I'm rewriting the Kicad EDA book for myself and the project. I did it in first instance in LaTeX markup, but this was no success to converting it to other files.

Thanks in advice,

javalatex: usage and spanish
Hi, I downloaded your javalatex program and I have been trying to use it. Actually I can convert single files to latex format (it is great!!!), but I just have not been able to convert a whole book. ¿could you send me the instructions please (ogduartev at gmail.com).

I can not figure out how javalatex takes the whole book ¿does it read the mysql database? if it does, I suppose I have to configure the database host, name and password. ¿does it read the web server wher the wikimedia software runs? if it does, I supposse I have to configure the http address.

¿do you need any kind of help for an spanish realese? I could help...

thanks in advance for your answer

PDFs from Wikibooks
I'm planning on converting a few Wikibooks to PDF files. What did you use to create the Spanish and the Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience PDFs, as well as any others you have done? Theunixgeek (talk) 18:46, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

English in Use
Why do you propose changes in such a complicated way, why don't you just edit English in Use/Orthography? I mean this, I guess it was written by you. Tkorrovi (talk) 11:07, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
I know how hard finding references can be. That was a very nice text you found and I spent the day reading a bit of it. Even though I didn't necessarily agree about how this book related to the happiness book your doing really good work. So I just wanted to say well done. In fact maybe you should skip my first comment today at the RfD and see my second. Thenub314 (talk) 22:46, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

"Supplementary" sections in French book
I am a bit puzzled by the intention behind some of the supplementary sections in the French book. I can see how vocabulary could be optional, but I don't quite see how this applies to grammar. Were you thinking that the grammar sections you marked as supplementary had been included too early in the book, or perhaps should only be attempted by gifted students? I have seen books designed for mixed ability classes where this is done, but it would seem to make writing the book even more difficult than it is already. Recent Runes (talk) 21:51, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It's for things like content that would come up again later, content that readers would naturally pick up, or minutia of the language like uncommon verbs. Another use is repetition: a topic might be introduced in a supplementary section, used in example sentences over several lessons, then covered in a review section. --hagindaz 02:32, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I guess that would work as an indication to the reader, but while we are writing the book I think it groups too many different cases together. e.g. if a topic only appears once like Demonstrative adjectives in French/Lessons/Description, Le faire causatif in French/Lessons/The_house or Geography prepositions in French/Lessons/Vacations but is marked as supplementary, what tells an author that it should be added to another lesson elsewhere in the book and not treated as "minutia" or something to be picked up naturally? Recent Runes (discuss • contribs) 22:18, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Ideally a well-developed set of lesson plans would be written so that lessons are consistent and work well together. --hagindaz 18:33, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would be nice to have and I think the Common European Framework could provide a suitable starting point. I have the reference books for levels A1 and A2, which give you inventories of grammar, vocabulary and phrase templates appropriate for each level, without specifying any detailed lesson plan. I am just starting to study these books, in conjunction with the British specifications for French at secondary school level, but it will probably take quite some time before I could produce anything that might qualify as a "well-developed set of lesson plans". In the meanwhile, I think it would be useful for you to justify particular "supplementary" labels in the talk pages of the lessons involved and/or in the "Supplementary / review" column of the overview table that I put together recently. Recent Runes (discuss • contribs) 22:12, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure; feel free to remove the labels as well. --hagindaz 16:49, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

PDF Generator
Hey, I read that you are trying to create PDF Version using Latex. I also do so for quite a while. I wrote a compiler that parses the mediawiki sourcetext into a parsetree and converts it into a latex sourcetext. I started on the german wikibooks only, and recently added some support for general mediawiki projects too. As a first demonstration of the technology I compiled the English book on Java programming this morning. The result is available here:



A Windows version of the compiler is freely available from sourceforge. You can play with it a bit. But please use only single pages and don't use whole books since the inclusion mechanism is not yet correct in the current release.

There are also much more elaborate examples for pdf versions of german wikibooks already: ,

Yours --Dirk Hünniger (discuss • contribs) 12:49, 16 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, it looks good. I'll try it out. --hagindaz 16:33, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I finally managed to upload a new version of the generator. You can run it on whole books now. I also did one more book.



Now you can point the generator to either the Haskell book or the Java book and it will produce the pdfs linked above. I also ran it on This Quantum World/print version and it produces a quite good result, although I did not modify the wiki or the generator for that. SO happy LaTeXing Yours Dirk Hünniger (discuss • contribs) 06:54, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

I am overwriting you files
am overwriting the PDF versions you made. I am currently redoing many PDF versions on the English Wikibooks that causes me to overwrite many of your PDF versions. Yours are currently 8 years old and my ones are created with LaTeX. I will also send you and Email with that information --Dirk Hünniger (discuss • contribs) 15:12, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Useful tricks page for language authors
Hi I have talked to some of you about the need to better pool our resources and ideas about writing good foreign language wikibooks. I noticed that some information was available under Authoring Foreign Language Textbooks, but not so much on what kind of tricks you can use to make your book more interactive. So I added a page "Useful tricks to it and gave a description of some of the tricks I am using @ Dutch. Hopefully we can use the Useful tricks page and its discussion page for a better exchange of ideas. I still think we need a better venue for that, but it's a start.

French template
Hi Hagindaz,

I am trying to use the cool French template you made but I am unable to make it correctly. The wiki code is the same but then the output is different. I link you 2 examples. One from your code, another one from my page but your code pasted. I am very interested in dialogues since I want to create a multilanguage dialogue book. I am new to wikipedia but I am a fast learner and I can program. Any hint will be of great help. Thanks in advance.
