This is the manual for Tamarin. It is written in Pandoc markdown, from which both an HTML website can be generated as well as a PDF book.

The source files can be found in the src directory.

Travis monitors the master branch of this repository. Commits to master trigger a new Travis build, which will commit the updated manual to the gh-pages branch of this repository. This is served by Github Pages at https://tamarin-prover.github.io/manual.

To compile the manual, you need pandoc and pandoc-citeproc. We recommend to use stack to install these dependencies.

stack install pandoc pandoc-citeproc

(If you get any errors while running this, make sure you're running the latest version of Stack: stack update && stack upgrade then try again.)

To create the PDF, xelatex is required, which is part of the texlive packages. On Ubuntu/Debian systems it can usually be installed directly.

sudo apt-get install texlive-xetex texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended latex-xcolor lmodern

The build process additionally depends on the make toolchain.

There are two main branches: /master and /develop. The intent is that they are synchronised with Tamarin's corresponding source code branches.

To suggest improvements/extensions for the current manual, create a pull request for the /master branch.

To add documentation for new features that have been accepted into the /develop branch of Tamarin's source repository, create a pull request for the /develop branch.

Building the online (HTML) documentation can be done by invoking the Makefile without arguments, i.e.:

make

In this case, the starting page would be index.html which would link directly to book/001_introduction.html.

The PDF-based (printable) book documentation can be build by invoking the Makefile with the pdf argument:

make pdf

The result should end up in tex/tamarin-manual.pdf.

The navigation on the left is hardcoded in templates/template.html. In particular, the navigations directly refers to the names of the files in src. This means one has to take care when renaming or adding sections.
