Enable Export to PDF / EPUB / MOBI

[public-daniel]

When attempting to export to PDF, I got an error. It looks like MathJAX-Node dependency is using a deprecated API. This will probably get resolved upstream, but just in case anyone else wants to export, there is a workaround:

Modify node_modules/mathjax-node/lib/mj-single.js on line 540 from

result.speakText = speech.processExpression(result.mml);

to

result.speakText = speech.toSpeech(result.mml);

Source for workaround: kgryte/tex-equation-to-svg#2 (comment)

Command for exporting:

npx honkit pdf ./ ./ml-interviews-book.pdf or npx honkit epub ./ ./ml-interview-book.epub

Hi @public-daniel, would you mind sharing the PDF you got? Doesn't work for me even with the fix above. Thanks

@public-daniel what about sharing the PDF? Thanks!

Hi,

PFA for the pdf version of the book. I hope the authors of the book have no issue with this.😓
Thank you @Aryaman1706 for helping me in converting to the pdf version.

Hi @animesh-007, this is amazing. I just sent you an email with a follow-up question about PDF rendering. Thank you so much!

hello all,
Is it possible to provide some clues how the book in PDF or EPUB can be created?
(libraries, tools, ...)

Is the url you posted up-to-date? If not could you post instructions as to how you generated it? I'd really appreciate it

Here is a ml-interviews-book.pdf I just generated from the most recent commit. The instructions provided by @public-daniel still work perfectly #7 (comment).
