Volumetric Regimes (book)

MediaWiki Unfolded page > update.py > MediaWiki API > Unfolded HTML page + images (saved to file) > Jinja template > CSS + Paged.js > PDF

Using the wiki-to-pdf publishing pipeline

make wiki: downloads the materials from the Unfolded wiki page and generates Unfolded.html
make run: runs a local server on port 8000 to preview the PDF at http://localhost:8000/Unfolded.html

PDF rendering: Paged.js (https://pagedjs.org/)
generate HTML: update.py is used to download the Unfolded wiki page to a local HTML file, download new images and rewrite/replace structural elements and details
hyphens: hyphenology, see templates/template.html and js/runHyphens.js
baseline grid: px calculation + manual shifts of images in css/print.css + csss/baseline.css
footnotes: are structured by MediaWiki and are wrapped in HTML elements when the content is pulled using the MediaWiki API
pre-press: see the folder tools for different scripts to convert PDF color space, PDF format, PDF resizing, and more
