|
## 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`
|
|
|
|
## Tools
|
|
|
|
* 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
|
|
|
|
