Welcome to the Packt Book Template!

Got a contract with Packt Publishing? Wish you could write your book using Asciidoctor instead of using MS Word or OpenOffice? Follow the following steps!

1. Clone https://github.com/gregturn/asciidoctor-packt into a folder (e.g. ~/src/asciidoctor-packt)

2. Pick another folder to host the code for your book (e.g. ~/books/my-tech-book-code`)

3. Clone this project into another folder (e.g. ~/books/my-tech-book)

4. Edit ~/books/my-tech-book/doc and tailor it to your needs.

Enjoy!

Continuous editing

Want to do live editing? Do this:

1. Install rbenv.

2. gem install guard

3. guard

Now the system will rebuild every time you alter a fragment as well as an individual chapter. Install a LiveReload plugin in your browser and you can proofread edits as they happen.
