  • How I Wrote My Book
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Dec 2021
    For my book Hands on Scala, I did a totaly different approach: parsed markdown into HTML myself, used puppeteer to turn it into PDFs. The build tool made it easy to import libraries like CommonMark-Java or ApachePDFBox to do what I wanted, wire in external tools like Puppeteer, and gave parallelism and incrementality for free. End result was <1s turnaround on editing chapters and <60s turnaround to regenerate the whope book from scratch

    The build pipeline is here, if anyone wants to take a look https://github.com/handsonscala/build

    A great example of Puppeteer's PDF generation feature: Li Haoyi's Hands On Scala book. See the build pipeline behind it.
