@sacha If it works for you great, but a 700 page pdf is the last way I want to read code, particularly elisp.
I want all the tools that emacs gives me, isearch, grep, xref, symbol-overlay, describe-variable/function, etc. Not having them feels crippling. And who wants pagination breaking up long blocks?
My config is ~20 .el files, by topic, with plenty of comments, I find it more readable and certainly more... usable.

@hmelman@mastodon.social it's available as .org and .el files as well, of course. :) I've recently gotten into reading people's configs on my tablet while I'm away from my computer, and I like the ease of highlighting things to follow up on and scribbling notes in the margins. Converting a web page to PDF works well enough for that, but I did appreciate the extra niceties of tecosaur's PDF. Different strokes for different folks, and it's great that Emacs and Org Mode make it so easy!
