Hello,

I took the liberty of creating a PDF from the Nim Manual on the website.

Where can I upload the .ODT and .PDF for those who want it?

That is very nice. Can you tell us how you generated that?

Hi Dom,

Normally I would convert the .HTML page into a LaTeX document using Pandoc, then generate a PDF from the LaTex doc.

But being short on time this is what I did:

Copy all the text from the web page

Paste into LibreOffice Writer

Changed the various "Styles" to my liking by changing fonts etc..., heading size etc....

Libre Office Writer has a "Export to PDF" feature which generated the PDF.

Or you could fix the manual so that nimrod rst2tex doc/manual.txt works again...

I could have a look.

Does anyone know if there is anything specific that needs fixing, or it just doesn't work and nobody has investigated why?

The new exception hierarchy include file causes too much nesting for LaTex. I don't know how to fix it.

Odd, it works for me. There were a number of warnings, but no errors.

so what is the source file for https://nim-lang.org/docs/manual.html? I looked into the nim's source but only found pure txt file

@oyster : the source is text files (they are actually rst) which you can convert to pdf with koch pdf, it does rst->latex->pdf

If you want a prebuilt version, I built the pdf some time ago: here .

It should be mostly up to date, as it was built from devel near the release of 0.17.

From "nim-doc.deb" package, I converted:

HTML -> Asciidoctor -> Asciidoctor-pdf(in terminal) -> PDF

and I get a nice PDF book
