I recommend downloading the PDF or EPUB files, as the HTML is quite large and

may bog down your browser.

## About

See ./book/00-introduction.md in the repo.

### The Text

The auto-generated translations were done using Google and Amazon's translation

services. The Yandex and IBM Watson translations were terrible, not worth trying

to use.

The ./book directory in the repo contains the contents. If you find a problem or

want to help, please feel free to [submit an

issue](https://github.com/zacanger/niddesa/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc).

### The Code

The initial translation code is in [this

repo](https://github.com/zacanger/translate-batches). To build the book, run

`./build.sh`. You will need Docker.

To release a new edition, update the introduction and create a tag along with a

versioning commit. Example:

```

git commit --allow-empty -am v2 && \

  git tag -m v2 -a v2 && \

  git push origin master --follow-tags

```

### TODO (v3?)

* Redistribute to tipitika wikia

* Compare with the Paramatthajotikā

* Compare with Thai editions
