Any plans to convert this material to ebook format such as epub?

The content is great, but it would be nice if it could be read on an e-reader, which is highly preferable vs a mobile phone for long-form reading for some folks. Any plans to convert it? Epub would be great as it is standard and easily convertible to other formats. Thanks!

Good question! I looked at the docusaurus docs and didn't find anything immediately available to convert these to PDF/epub. That said, I'd happily take a PR on it if you had some inspiration on how it could be done!

I have a method that I use with our (jbrowse) docs to make PDF from docusaurus. Basically it uses the "sidebar.json" as a guide to creating the order of pages, and performing markdown->pdf using pandoc+latex. Possibly could do epub with pandoc too

Looks like sidebar in this repo doesn't provide as much order but same concept could possibly apply

The quick hacked-together version of this looks like https://github.com/cmdcolin/learngenomics.dev/tree/pdf

(run make in build directory)

creates this pdf

learngenomics.pdf

Some quick notes

-info boxes are not handled
-some code boxes overflow
-some tables are cramped

these are generally hard design constraints in latex that can probably get workarounds

I also use a "Figure component" in the markdown to allow figures to have captions. Markdown doesn't generally have a good notion of caption, just the only has alt text in square brackets, but in pandoc, the "alt text" becomes captions in pdf so I made the custom "Figure component" to render those same captions on the web
