I got around to PicoMite but I wasn’t happy with the book that came with it.

So I started reformating in MD and pushing it through a basic SSG.

Still WIP but the tutorial and the first chapters are pretty much done and I’m trying my hand at the command listing currently. Maybe it’s a handy reference for someone.

When version 6 is done I’ll pack it up into a release.

I removed all irrelevant or unuseful sections from the original then printed double sided at 75% in colour before reducing on a guillotine. Nice handy size now.

well that took a little while but [About - PicoMite User Manual](https://yamavu.github.io/PicoMite_User_Manual/) is live, it doesn’t include the newest version V6.02.01 from March 2026, the new docs are different but better this time.

I deployed the one-md-file-per-function/command philosophy which took forever to format somewhat consistently (that’s why I didn’t do the release yet). MDBook does a nice job pushing it online in a searchable way.
