Given a nicely written document in pandoc markdown, output a pretty HTML document. Complete with bibtex-based references and a mobile-first stylesheet.

To create ./gen with all the necessary html and css files, ready for upload:

make SRC=dissertation html

Uses pandoc, normalize.css, bootstrap 3.x, and make. CSL sheets are available at https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles.

This project depends on bower (a node package) and pandoc (a Haskell package). Build happens with make. If you want PDF generation, you'll also need a TeX library. If you've got these already, then simply run

git clone https://github.com/philadams/letterpress.git
pip install -r requirements.txt
bower install

If you'd like PDF generation, install TeX using MacTeX (http://www.tug.org/mactex). You'll really only need the small BasicTeX library.

Then we'll need pandoc:

brew install haskell-platform
cabal install pandoc

And bower:

brew install node
npm install -g bower

And then follow the short installation instructions above.

Please note: if you get stuck installing things on Ubuntu, it's probably a packaging error. A common issue surrounds the packaging of pandoc on Ubuntu and installing pandoc from apt instead of using Haskell's cabal. You can fix it by following directions at http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/faqs.html.

• consider moving references to csl/json format (removing need for bibtex)
