Assembling reports from papers

April 8, 2007 Documentation No comments

New Python/SCons functions defined in rsf/book.py together with LaTeX georeport class and LaTeX2HTML customization scripts defined in SEGTeX can now assemble reports from individual papers. See, for example, incomplete Madagascar documentation collected in a single PDF file or a web page. The script for generating these documents is book/rsf/SConstruct. Other examples are referenced on the redesigned wiki page for Reproducible Documents.

To try this feature:

1. Make sure you have the figures properly locked.

2.

cd $RSFSRC/book/YOUR_FAVORITE_BOOK

and run

scons book.tex

then

scons pdf

or

scons read

to generate a PDF file and read it or

scons www

to generate a web page installed in $RSFDOC.

You can also generate all books at once by running

scons www

in $RSFSRC/book. Any feedback is appreciated.
