Yeah, so these days I am trying to figure out how to handle LaTex from within Emacs. Actually I have taken up the task of porting over a badly formatted PDF, perhaps based on the photocopy of the original book, to a properly formatted PDF.
Besides this being a good learning experience for me with regards to LaTex and Emacs, I have an opportunity to explore how to structure Novels. How to really write completely non-technical documents in LaTex as well and how to format them in a way that they are legible in any ebook reader like Nook and Kindle in their respective formats.
I have a feeling that this would be an amazing learning experience for it involves A Lot of typing - about 350 pages of pure text material. Add to that the details of the structural formatting of the entire text in LaTex.
Of course, I am gonna be doing the proper versioning for the files but I am gonna do it via GitHub-windows client rather than the pure Git client. I am using the pure Git client along with the Haskell project via Magit. Keep an eye out on the To Do - 2015 post !
I will definitely provide you guys with the basic template for the way I structure the text but, as I am not the original author of the text I wouldn't be taking the liberty of uploading the full fledged LaTex source files for the book. But, honestly, I'll do my best to make the LaTex template AwEsOmE and as complete as possible.
I think, I am gonna rely on LaTex + Emacs system for most of my work in future as well. So, I guess I might as well start taking it all seriously.
Helmsman, Full Steam Ahead !!
