Document Processor

Most documents are written using the Madoko scholarly markdown flavor (.mdk file extension). Special thanks to Daan Leijen for creating Madoko. A web editor for Madoko is available at www.madoko.net or it can be installed locally with:

npm install madoko -g

Madoko is able to generate sophisticated HTML versions of scientific documents as well as standard PDF versions through LaTeX. Other files, like the slides and the poster, use LaTeX directly. The Makefile wraps the respective call to the right tool for each target document. Madoko files are generated with:

madoko --pdf thesis.mdk

Graphics

DOT files:

dot -Txdot system.dot | dot2tex -f pst > system.tex
dot -Tps task-units.dot > task-units.ps
dot -Tsvg task-units.dot > task-units.svg
dot -Tpdf task-units.dot > task-units.pdf

PDF/PostScript output of dot produces a lot of whitespace margin. Remove with pdfcrop CLI (produces a new file with -crop appended to filename):

pdfcrop task-units.pdf
