Hello, for all the people who write tutorials out there, a new online service is available. If you prepare a tutorial in plain text and submit it using the IRC then my program will compile it into a lovely looking .PDF file. I have done this to help the community and also help create a standardised format for tutorials. The compiler supports images and code listing etc.
For details on how to format the plain-text tutorial file just have a look at the attached .pdf
(Note that this pdf was prepared using the tutorial compiler)
Come into IRC with your tutorial, you need to use a client that supports DCC transfers. Look for a user called "pris", this is the bot which handles compilation. DCC the file to the bot and then type
!tute_compile filename
pris will respond with a message, telling you whether the operation was successful or not. If it was successful you can then type
!request tutorial_filename
and the bot will DCC the completed file back to you.
This may seem complicated at first but I will be on hand to offer assisstance should you need any.
