Verdurian PDF?

Post by Aszev »

Just a thought, why don't you make a pdf file of the Verdurian grammar?

Probably because a) there's already a HTML version and b) that version is far easier to update than a pdf would be.

Couldn't you just load the HTML version into Open Office then Save as PDF? THat way you'd have a (slightly screwed up, since Open Office often makes mistakes in PDFs) copy without much extra work.

whats the point, though? pdf files are mostly for ease of printing and to prevent tampering. neither of those is a major concern, i think.

Also, you can be a lot more confident that people can see your exotic characters (diacritics, IPA) than with HTML.

I would be interested in a Verdurian PDF. When there is something about a language in HTML I bookmark it, and then it gets lost in the shuffle on my bookmarks folder (350+ web sites), even though there is a folder set apart for languages. A PDF file would allow me to save it and find it easily.

A pdf is easier to handle than a bunch of html pages.

It would be nice if Mark could publish Verdurian as a book!

Maybe some time after Babblers, and that SF novel . . .

Or you could do it in any Mac OS program, and have one that isn't screwed up at all :mrgreen:
