The Manjaro Linux Beginner's User Guide typeset in LaTeX (using LyX).

The style in use is tufte-book. This provides a very professional layout with minimal fuss.

Want a PDF instead of the source? Grab it on OSDN.net.

To enable the tufte-book layout within LyX on Manjaro you will need to install the following packages:

sudo pacman -S lyx texlive-latexextra texlive-pictures ttf-comfortaa ghostscript

Installing LyX should pick up the base dependencies; tufte-book requires the extra libraries. Remember to reconfigure LyX after installing the new libraries!

Current cover art is created in Inkscape. LyX will neatly insert/append PDF files - to make things easy cover art should therefore be exported as a PDF document.

To generate the PDF from a command line rather than exporting from within LyX you can use the following:

lyx --export pdflatex manjaro-user-guide.lyx
pdflatex manjaro-user-guide
texindy --language english manjaro-user-guide.idx
pdflatex manjaro-user-guide
pdflatex manjaro-user-guide
gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -sOutputFile=manjaro-user-guide-printer.pdf manjaro-user-guide.pdf

Yes, pdflatex does require multiple runs.
