digitalmars.D - [TDPL] Will TDPL LaTeX class/template be accessible?

Hi,

I quite like the layout of TDPL, it's nice and clean, particularly the color
version that Andrei used for sample chapters. IIRC, it's done as a LaTeX
(pdfTex?) template that Andrei developed.
The fact that your editor chose to use it directly is also a proof of its
quality [*]

Andrei, I think you had plans to release it somehow, so that we could use it
to generate D docs? With the apparition of nice new tex editors like TeXWorks
or LateX Lab, I'm interested in diving into TeX again. Do you think you could
make the classes or templates you used accessible? The B&W as well as the
color version?

I don't know which one was used by Andrei, but you can try Pygments: 
http://pygments.org/
I used it for several languages (including D) with LaTeX output and it 
worked very well. There are many color schemas available, including B&W.

Andrei mentioned at one point that he developed his own.

pygment is nice to color source code and then paste the resulting latex code
into a document, but what I'm asking there is not so much the way Andrei
highlighted D code in TDPL (though that would be nice to know) as much as
getting my hands on the way the entire book is formatted.

Oh, and the way he did the diagrams in the array chapter.
