This is the README.md file for dednat6.
Dednat6 is an extensible (semi-)preprocessor for LuaLaTeX that understands diagrams in ASCII art.
The best introduction to Dednat6 is the TUGBoat article about it:

The home page of Dednat6 is:

Dednat6 is not in CTAN yet.
Here is a way to download Dednat6 from git and test it:
rm -Rfv /tmp/dednat6/
cd /tmp/
git clone https://github.com/edrx/dednat6
cd /tmp/dednat6/
make
make clean
The "make" will compile all its .tex files into PDFs; the "make clean" will delete all the generated files except the PDFs. After doing "make" and "make clean" open the file demo-minimal.tex, read its instructions and try to modify it and recompile it. See:

The git repository does not include the PDFs generated from the .tex files. To access them and the HTMLized versions of the source files, go to:
