Very nice!

YES! YES! YES!  This would be fantastic!  I had planned, after I finished porting the LaserGame tutorial to Pharo, to look at making a way to "run the book" to generate the pictures, to make it easier for pictures to track Pharo releases.  But currently that is after I finish understanding the Delay machinery, which is after I finish polishing my changes to Transcript, which is after I finish PointerDetective.  So I need to start completing items to clear my DistractionStack!

btw, some small corrections...

Hi,

Documentation is important. To make it more likely and more enjoyable for
people to write more of it, I teamed up with Andrei and Jan to build up
support for Pillar in the GTInspector.

The current solution brings the following:
- Pillar specific syntax highlighting including Shout highlighting for code
snippets
- Embedded files validation and preview possibility
- Quick browsing of Pillar book projects when inspecting the book folder
- Class comment rendering using Pillar syntax when inspecting the class
object
- Text editor support for custom highlighting in Glamour (using Rubric for
now)
- Island parsing for quick specification of incomplete parser

You can learn more about it here:

There is much more to do in this direction, and I would be happy to inspire
some of you to join forces. Please let us know what you think.

Cheers,
Doru
