|
|
this project is an experiment of how to generate html, epub and pdf
|
|
from the git repository for the WTF Handbook.
|
|
The handbuch sources are included as git submodule.
|
|
|
|
It contains a configuration for three different generators:
|
|
- mdbook and mdbook-epub
|
|
- crowbook
|
|
- sphinx
|
|
|
|
### sphinx html theme for wtf coop
|
|
|
|
the sphinx build uses an adapted sphinx theme for the wtf cooperatives CI.
|
|
|
|
## How to build
|
|
|
|
### rust based tools mdbook and crowbook
|
|
|
|
For building you need a rust installation.
|
|
This can be achieved by using the installer from https://rustup.rs
|
|
|
|
After installing the rust toolchain for your platform you have to install the needed tools:
|
|
````
|
|
cargo install mdbook
|
|
cargo install mdbook-epub
|
|
cargo install crowbook
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Crowbook needs xelatex for building the pdf outputs.
|
|
|
|
### python based - sphinx
|
|
|
|
First create a Python 3 virtual environment using the venv module included with Python 3.
|
|
|
|
````
|
|
python -m venv py3-sphinx
|
|
`````
|
|
|
|
Now “activate” the environment. Look for the name of the virtual environment enclosed in parenthesis after activation.
|
|
|
|
`````
|
|
source py3-sphinx/bin/activate
|
|
``````
|
|
|
|
Expected Output
|
|
`````
|
|
(py3-sphinx) $
|
|
``````
|
|
|
|
In the virtual environment install the following modules with pip:
|
|
|
|
`````
|
|
(py3-sphinx) $ pip install sphinx3 sphinxcontrib-plantuml myst-parser
|
|
``````
|
|
|
|
For generating the images from plantuml-sources it needs also [Plantuml](https://plantuml.com/).
|
|
For pdf output the latex builder is used, so it needs also an installed latex and pdflatex.
|
|
|
|
### Running the document generation via make
|
|
|
|
The top level directory contains a Makefile
|
|
|
|
For generation with all tools use
|
|
`````
|
|
make all
|
|
`````
|
|
|
|
For generation with single tool use:
|
|
`````
|
|
make mdbook [crowbook sphinx]
|
|
`````
|
|
|
|
## Issues
|
|
### mdbook - rendering problem with current inputs
|
|
|
|
### sphinx - Problems rendering latex with .svg image(organigramm.svg)
|
|
|
|
### problems rendering links not starting with http(s)
|
|
mumble and mailto links are not rendered correctly
|
|
tbd have an eye on all outputs
|
|
|
|
