What am I missing here? Hasn't SoftIron been building this exact thing for around 5 years? Heck, they design and manufacture all of the hardware as well.

wmat — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 13:27:00 +0000

I'd recommend AsciiDoctor. It provides a syntax that's very markdown-like. Store your book as src in Git somewhere and move seamlessly between Fedora and your Mac. There's a nice VSCode AsciiDoctor plugin and an extremely helpful community. And it outputs PDF, DocBook, epub, and HTML.

I just learned of this site today, not sure if it's any good but it's specific to remote:

I really like asciidocs support for diagramming via the asciidoctor-diagram extension. It's supports lots of unique and useful diagramming formats, such as graphviz, ditaa, bytefield, etc.
