Building
To generate the build scripts provision a cabal sandbox with pandoc in it. This
is done by the write-you-a-haskell.cabal
and stack.yaml
files.
Stack
$ stack exec make
To generate the pdf, the LaTeX packages must be installed on the system.
$ sudo apt-get install texlive-xetex texlive-latex-extra
$ sudo apt-get install xzdec
$ sudo tlmgr install zapfding
$ stack exec make pdf
Generation of the epub is also supported.
$ stack exec make epub
Cabal
$ cabal sandbox init
$ cabal install --only-dependencies
$ cabal exec bash
$ make
Contributing
Any and all contributions are always welcome. As always, I rely on the perpetual kindness and goodwill of Haskellers (like you!) to help correct grammar, clarify, and fix errors.
