[ann] pillar support in gtinspector

Hi,

Documentation is important. To make it more likely and more enjoyable for people to write more of it, I teamed up with Andrei and Jan to build up support for Pillar in the GTInspector.

The current solution brings the following:

- Pillar specific syntax highlighting including Shout highlighting for code snippets

- Embedded files validation and preview possibility

- Quick browsing of Pillar book projects when inspecting the book folder

- Class comment rendering using Pillar syntax when inspecting the class object

- Text editor support for custom highlighting in Glamour (using Rubric for now)

- Island parsing for quick specification of incomplete parser

You can learn more about it here:

There is much more to do in this direction, and I would be happy to inspire some of you to join forces. Please let us know what you think.

Cheers,

Doru

Very nice!

> Yet another thing is to move towards eliminating static pictures. For example, most pictures in a technical book are some sort of screenshots. These screenshots could easily be produced with snippets that could be generated.
YES! YES! YES! This would be fantastic! I had planned, after I finished porting the LaserGame tutorial to Pharo, to look at making a way to "run the book" to generate the pictures, to make it easier for pictures to track Pharo releases. But currently that is after I finish understanding the Delay machinery, which is after I finish polishing my changes to Transcript, which is after I finish PointerDetective. So I need to start completing items to clear my DistractionStack!

btw, some small corrections...
