This is not what I wrote about, I don't know anything about FFI. I wrote 
the web page is not the right place to put this kind of contents, and I 
suggested alternatives.

Pharo community use LaTeX to write the book. For the Cuis book I 
proposed and used the GNU Texinfo format editing. It is far more easier 
than LaTeX and you can output to many format.

In case we want to edit booklet, we should continue with Texinfo because 
I spend a lot of energy to build the Texinfo macro/alias and the build 
script.
