E.g., it has a mechanism to\nadd small letters to Byrne's colorful diagrams, as suggested by Edward\nTufte in [Envisioning Information](https://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/books_ei).\nThis feature is turned on by default in the Russian version and can be\nturned on with one line in the English version (save for some layout\nchanges which arise due to letter designations taking more space).\n\n![labels](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7447349/52147400-a30cce80-2677-11e9-9a2a-3b7f88419c90.png)\n\nThis edition features generated initials and vignettes, so there are no \ntwo identical initials in the whole book. This feature is pretty much \nwork-in-progress, and, when ready (i.e. when it starts producing \nsatisfactory results), is likely to become a part of \n[fiziko](https://github.com/jemmybutton/fiziko) library.\n\n![lettrines](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7447349/52147399-a2743800-2677-11e9-83a1-d25620253263.png)\n\nThe book itself (byrne-en-latex.tex) and its Russian translation\n(byrne-ru-latex.tex) are licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0.\n\nMetaPost library (byrne.mp) and initials generator (lettrines.mp) are \nlicensed under GPLv3 or later.\n\nTo build the book run `lualatex byrne-en-latex.tex` or\n`lualatex byrne-ru-latex.tex` within the book directory. To generate the\ninitials run `mpost lettrines.mp` within `\\lettrines` directory.\n\nSee releases for prepared .pdfs (at the moment it's an older ConTeXt \nversion).
