BezierInfo-2

Dev repository for https://Pomax.github.io/bezierinfo

Working on the code

  • To run this dev version: npm start, then view in the browser on http://localhost:8080
  • To compile for production: npm run build.

Both operations run continuous linting. Also note that there are specific requirements for development, see the section on dev requirements below.

Fonts required for proper LaTeX typesetting

  • en-GB LaTeX fonts: TeX Gyre Pagella and TeX Gyre Pagella Math fonts (installable through TeXLive and MiKTeX)
  • ja-JP LaTeX font: IPAex Mincho (installable through TeXLive and MiKTeX)
  • zh-CN LaTeX font: Arhpic gbsn (installable through TeXLive and MiKTeX)

All fonts come with TeXLive and MiKTeX, and should be easy to install. Note that you will need the modern OpenType (otf/ttf) fonts, not the obsolete type1 fonts.

Running a build

As mentioned up top, run a build using npm run build.

If you have all the prerequisites installed, this should "just work", although I can't make any guarantees on how long it will take: on my rather beefy workstation it takes around 85 seconds to run a build for all locales (en-GB, zh-CN, and ja-JP) when there are no new SVG images to generate.

Localization

Interested in (helping with) localizing the Primer to your own language? That's awesome! Please read the instructions on how to start localizing and please file issues if anything is unclear.

Additional information

Interested in the actual architecture and tech stack? Read the blog post on how Webpack's sync processing and MathJAx's async processing were made to work together:

Finally, a fair number of people have helped by filing PRs for fixes for typos small and large over the years, all of whom are listed on the contributors page for this project. And a special thanks goes out to Simon Cozens who went through the entire book to fix typos and phrasing.
