Thank YOU for trying it out! Much appreciated!


You're totally right! And that's exactly what's planned for future versions :)


Whoa! Thank you very much! :) Will take a look at it later this eve!


Interesting! I will have a look at these cases. Didn't thought of syntax inconsistency


But what should the demo provide? wbb generates html, mobi, epub or rtf files from your markdown. I don't really can demonstrate that. But you can just clone it and run 'grunt wbb:publish' and you'll see a generated book in all formats :).

Checkout the wiki: https://github.com/PascalPrecht/wbb/wiki


How about a book generated from the wiki markdown? I think for people who haven't written a book before, there's a conceptual gap where it would be handy to see visually 'if you write this markdown, this is the book that gets generated'


I guess the issue is that once you get beyond core markdown there are variations. Pandoc and LeanPub use different ways to indicate code highlighting and tables. There might be other variations as well. A demo would show me how to use these features in a portable way.


I think a demo would be useful if it provided examples of how to format tables, and code, and lists. For example, suppose I want to have a code block that is Ruby and another code block that is Objective-C. How would I do this in wbb?


I want to see what the generated HTML looks like



I think people want to see what the generated HYML looks like


Have to take a look at it, thanks! :)


I'm currently writing a book. I think it'll take a while til it's online, but I've often thought about a boilerplate where I can just start to write a book and don't have to care about all the other formats.

So, no.. unfortunately there's no demo :( Just try it out :)


Yes, I agree with you, is there any alternative to this book 'boilerplate'?


Updated gh-pages branch, re-try and checkout the examples: https://github.com/PascalPrecht/jquery.neotabs.js#examples


Yeap you're right. Acually, you can simply clone the repo and open the examples in the browser. Nevertheless there has to be a demo page. I'll build one. Promise. And thanks for the feedback!


Allright, will do so! Thanks for the feedback!
