Submission + - writing a tech-book: tools & surprises? 1
Fubari writes: For all you book authors on Slashdot: what writing tools have you found helpful? I want to start my book-idea off right (so I'm pretty sure I don't want to write it in MS-Word). I would love to hear about what has (or has not!) worked well for you.
What I have thought of so far are things like chapter/section management, easy references to figures (charts, diagrams, source code), version control (check in/check out parts like chapters, figures, etc.) and index generation.
I would also welcome advice about what I don't know enough to ask about. Are there any surprises that you wish you had known back when you first started?
