PDF version

Closed this issue · 4 comments

It would be great to also have a PDF version. Even if we have to create by hand with each build. (via @mtrifiro )

I was thinking of https://github.com/alanshaw/markdown-pdf or https://pandoc.org/ and I'm sure there are style and "pretty" issues that will make a difference in how we decide to do it.

Working on a Pandoc version of this, which does Markdown to LaTeX and then LaTeX to PDF. I'm starting in https://gitlab.com/vielmetti/GP_Template as a place to hack on things, and when it's actually doing the right thing there I'll look at how to merge it into this work.

Pandoc is a little finicky about Markdown, in ways that Github is not.

Very rough start at https://gitlab.com/vielmetti/GP_Template/-/jobs/74461470/artifacts/file/build/pdf/thesis_A4.pdf . It takes about 2 to 3 minutes to build the PDF with this setup, using Gitlab CI and a "thesis" template.

A PDF version was produced for 2019, so close this. There will be a 2020 edition as well.
