I little while ago I was trying to write a book in pure Github Flavored Markdown, due to the nature of markdown this didn't work out well. So I tried to find something that would still be:

  • Simple
  • Eloquent
  • look pretty
  • have VCS

and I found this with GitBook! I was elated I could still use markdown but create something on par with LaTeX in terms of aesthetics(or at least alot prettier for what I was aiming for).
so here is my first book(still in per-release form, haven't written much yet) done with GitBook. Also more of me just messing around creating documentation in markdown for a project I'm involved in. Video(will probably need to play this in a good media player like VLC, don't know if .mkv is supported in all browsers or not)

Yeah, I've started a bit of a language, still flushing out rules; things like diacritics, punctuation, etc.
You can browse the markdown files here github.com/AdrianKoshka/Papers…

My (current) writing has moved to github, as I now use LaTeX(lay-tek) to write, as word processor get in the way and are clunky, I've fallen in love with the simplicity of LaTeX.

github.com/AdrianKoshka/Papers is the main github repository where you can download the sourcefiles (though I'd recommend just downloading the pdfs if you wanna read it).

The license I'm using currently for my writing on github.com is CC-BY-NC-SA  4.0 internatonal. creativecommons.org/licenses/b… will lead you to the license page which a license file is also included in the git repository.
