I'm still "writing a Go Book" which boils down to playing with , Go and Vim.

Building the whole document might be a bit tricky, because of all the packages you may need.

Assuming you already installed TexLive on your system, you will further need to apt-get install:

• texlive-xetex
• ttf-droid
• latex-cjk-common
• latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab
• latex-cjk-xcjk
• latex-xft-fonts
• latex-fonts-recommended
• ttf-sazanami-gothic
• inkscape (for .svg to .pdf conversion)

Which should make it build. If not, please let me know.

Also, but completely unrelated

precise float placing

... they said it was impossible

Check out the float package. And it's H placement modifier. I'm already loving it!
