# LaTeX Book Template Build
This `BUILD.md` document is about how to build the documentation,
not about how to build a ground station.

The *LaTeX Book Template* is written in LaTeX
which generates a final PDF for viewing or printing.


# Install

* Requires LaTeX. Note, LaTeX is in the `texlive` packages in Debian
  and is relatively huge (1 gig+ install).

* Minted syntax highlighting requires python3-pygments to be installed.

* Requires more packages than just below. XXX

Install dependencies in Debian:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-xetex \
    texlive-humanities texlive-pstricks \
    python3-pygments \
    fonts-gemunu-libre fonts-linuxlibertine fonts-stix \
    biber git jabref make
```

Get source code:

```
git clone https://spacecruft.org/spacecruft/LaTeXBookTemplate
cd LaTeXBookTemplate/
```


# Build
Run the build script to make a PDF:

```
make
```

To just make a cover:

```
make cover
```

To clean:

```
make clean
```


# View
Use a PDF viewer to read the document, such as:

```
evince LaTeXBookTemplate.pdf
```

# BibTeX
If `kbibtex` seg faults, perhaps:

```
rm -f -r .local/share/kbibtex .cache/kbibtex/ .config/kbibtexrc
```

Use `jabref`.

# Setup for New Book

```
sed -i -e 's/LaTeX Book Template/Muh New Book/g' BUILD.md Makefile README.md src/*.tex src/*.gst src/Makefile

sed -i -e 's/LaTeXBookTemplate/MuhNewBook/g' .gitignore BUILD.md Makefile README.md src/*.tex src/*.gst src/Makefile

for i in src/*LaTeXBookTemplate* ; do mv $i `echo $i | sed -e 's/LaTeXBookTemplate/MuhNewBook/g'` ; done
```


# Commercial Printing
Book is formatted for publishing at large printing houses (or basements).
HOWTO: set up and print with Lulu.
