am unfamiliar using English. So, I may have a wrong expression. Plz feedback for me called “Masakari” about my English!!
Analyze why this happened
ɾAbout writing env ɾWhat’s the stats ? Premise
My writing environment
https://docs.gitbook.com/ main tool used
usage about gitbook-cli
usage about gitbook-cli build for static HTML files
my book sample
One problem comes up when I'm writing
I want to count the number of characters…
I want to count the number of characters… Because books
are usually about 1,400 characters per page. It takes about 200,000 characters to write a whole technical book.
You just have to make it, someone said
https://www.npmjs.com/package/wcmd created tool
created tool single file multiple files
My writing stats
ɾmy book has 334 pages ɾ230734 characters ɾabout 2 months

ɹand misprints Problems
Cause of the problems

Review & Fix Writing planning writing project Product Story At
first, we must get a review ❗ Next, get a review as well ❗
Review & Fix Writing planning writing project Product Story There
are several perspectives, especially here ✋
ɾTypos and errors ɾCapitalize the beginning of nouns ɾConcrete rather
than abstract ɾAmbiguous expression ɾFormatting e.g. “Ͱ͢·͢” …etc
There is a wonderful tool for typos and errors
wonderful tool: textlint https://textlint.github.io/
Summary
❖ Make products first (Code is written first) ❖ Set
a firm schedule and proceed steadily ❖ As much time for review as possible
I hope you produce some great technical books!
