This collection of classes and packages for the SILE typesetting system provides advanced book classes and tools.
This collection offers:
- At its core, a challenging and interesting “styling” paradigm, allowing to configure many styling decisions with a consistent and unified approach, abstracting the complexity.
- A pretty strong “book” class, with:
- A mind-bogling choice of sound page layouts — old-fashioned or modern,
- Almost everything you may expect for such a class: parts, chapters, sections, subsections, subsubsections…
- Highly configurable table of contents, headers, footers, footnotes and sectioning environments,
- And other useful features, from cross-references to advanced captioned figure and table environments, and more…
- A great parity with Markdown, including many Pandoc-like extensions.
- A “master document” format, for easily assembling your content.
- A lightweight “résumé” class, for you to produce a colorful and yet professional-looking curriculum vitæ.
These packages require SILE v0.14 or upper.
Installation relies on the luarocks package manager.
To install the latest version and all its dependencies (see below), you may use the provided “rockspec”:
luarocks install resilient.sile
(Refer to the SILE manual for more detailed 3rd-party package installation information.)
A complete PDF version of the documentation (but not necessarily always the latest) should be available HERE, or in our Calaméo bookshelf.
This collection also imports several modules also provided separately, would you find them useful on their own:
- Paragraph boxes, framed boxes and tables
- Cross-references
- Superscripts and subscripts
- Barcodes (for ISBNs, etc.)
- QR codes
- Couyards (typographic ornaments)
- Printer options (image resolution tuning and vector rasterization, would you want to use a professional printer or print-on-demand services)
- Fancy table of contents (an alternative two-level table of contents with nice curly braces)
- Textual graphics embedders (support for Graphviz, Lilypond, &c)
- Markdown (support for Markdown, Djot etc.)
When used with this collection, the Markdown packages and the fancy table of contents are leveraged with additional capabilities.
This collection is the successor of the my “Omikhleia’s classes & packages for SILE”, fully redesigned for SILE v0.14 or upper, and provided as a separate installable module.
Besides all the changes from SILE v0.12 to v0.14, and its new package and class APIs, the redesign entails many more things, with breaking changes (consider it as v2.x of the former solution).
It therefore comes under a new name (also used as a namespace here and there), resilient. The name is a pun on "SILE" (as, after all, the initial target was always on redoing a book class that would satisfy my requirements), but there will be a bit more to it than that, which might become more visible when the collection expands.
