Hi alpha32,

Thanks for the compliments. I'm sharing the awk series with b-yeezi this time since we're both keen to talk about it.

You'll have noticed that I like writing long detailed notes. I got into the habit of writing explanations of things when I started working in IT and kept a journal of stuff I'd learnt. It probably followed on from my science education where we were encouraged to keep a lab book of what we'd observed.

Soon after I started running an adult evening class in Pascal, and wrote a series of handouts for my students that grew into a textbook at the end of the course. It was intended as a resource that they could refer to and learn from outside the classes.

The workflow I use to generate show notes (producing HTML from Markdown) allows me to turn on an ePub generation stage. I tried it out for some HPR episodes but wasn't happy with the results. I could look at improving this if anyone is interested and could recreate ePub format notes for the sed series for example. It's not a textbook as such but should be a comprehensive set of notes about the episodes that could be read on a PC or tablet.
