Testimony on how to publish a book using Org-mode

Testimony on how to publish a book using Org-mode

[Bastien]

Dear all,

I recently met the authors of this book, entirely publish using
Org-mode: https://ima.circex.org/storie/0-intro/index.html

They explain how they do this here:
https://ima.circex.org/vulgo_en.html

I thought it might be of interest for those hackers who want to
dive in and try publishing large texts with Org-mode.

Please send me a private email if you want to get in touch with
one of the author for details on their setup.

Enjoy!

This sounds pretty interesting. I have been thinking for a while about a
setup for scientific publishing with org-mode. I am curious to learn
more about what they have setup. I will probably spend some time this
spring updating how I do this kind of thing myself.

At first glance this is indeed interesting and I must study it
carefully. Thank you for pointing this out.

I have published quite a number of books (both fiction and
non-fiction) starting with org-mode. Inevitably, though, there
is lots of hand work with LaTeX, and anything to reduce that
will be very welcome.

Hi everyone,

I have self-published 3 books so far written with org-mode, using Leanpub.
I have been meaning to write a proper post about my setup, which allows me
a fully-automated export from org-mode to the Leanpub format and structure.
In the meantime, if anyone is interested, you can see my config here:
https://zzamboni.org/post/my-emacs-configuration-with-commentary/#publishing-to-leanpub

(one of the reasons I haven't written the post is that my modules are not
yet in MELPA, I hope to get some time to do it soon)

Cheers,
--Diego

I write my Fanfiction in Org-mode, I’d love to publish it using that, but ArchiveOfOurOwn doesn’t support Markdown, let alone Org. I love the fact that I can export subtrees (chapters,) giving them specific titles, like “Chapter 1” as output file names and page titles, and can, no matter what, have my notes heading to not be exported.
