Contributing

By contributing to this project, you are agreeing to do so under these licenses: https://github.com/learnbyexample/ThinkRubyBuild#license

This issue manager will act as a guideline for contributing as well as for clarifying questions about them

• Reference book: https://greenteapress.com/thinkpython2/html/index.html
• Use only markdown, no html
  • This restriction is mainly because using html might prevent rendering the book using other tools which accept GitHub style markdown, but not its extensions.
  • This is causing issue to display math equations, worked around in some places using Ruby style expression, using images, etc. If necessary, html will be allowed
• Chapter/sections can be linked in other parts of the book using anchors. GitHub automatically creates anchors for headers (click icon to the left of headings). For example: https://github.com/learnbyexample/ThinkRubyBuild/blob/master/chapters_md/fruitful_methods.md#boolean-methods - to link this, use [Boolean methods](./fruitful_methods.md#boolean-methods) where filename is needed only when linking from another chapter
• Terms changed from Python to Ruby:
  • Function --> Method (except when referring to external definitions like mathematical functions)
  • List --> Array
  • Dictionary --> Hash
• Use issue manager (one issue manager to collate notes per chapter) to note down a few details before submitting a PR
  • mention if any chapter/section name has changed, this will be needed to correct links in other places
  • mention if any exercise cannot be translated - might be referred to in another chapter
  • etc
• Use xfig if you need to change an illustration. You'll need to use .fig files as input ( https://github.com/learnbyexample/ThinkRubyBuild/tree/master/book/figs) and output format needed is png

Read the contribution guidance, then inspect the chapter files under chapters_md and illustration sources under book/figs. Contributions should follow the stated Markdown and terminology rules, with chapter changes or untranslated exercises noted in the issue manager; no specific documentation change is identified here.
