HaTeX User's Guide.
The HaTeX User's Guide is a manual explaining the HaTeX library (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HaTeX). This library can be used to output the guide in different formats. A compiled pdf version of the latex output can be found at http://daniel-diaz.github.com/projects/hatex/hatex-guide.pdf. The online HTML version is in http://daniel-diaz.github.com/projects/hatex/hatex-guide.html. See the README file (https://github.com/Daniel-Diaz/hatex-guide/blob/master/README.md) for more details.

Building the guide
To build the guide, first you need to install the library.
Installing from Hackage
Using cabal-install you can install the library directly from Hackage.
$ cabal install hatex-guide
The installed package includes a small library which exports a function called writeGuide
. This function has a parameter indicating the format of the output. For example, writeGuide LaTeX
will write the output in the current directory in LaTeX format. Read the package documentation to know about the supported formats.
Once the package is installed, run GHCi and run the following session.
$ import Text.LaTeX.Guide
$ writeGuide LaTeX
Installing HEAD version
Run the following commands to download and install the HEAD version. Requires git and cabal.
$ git clone [email protected]:Daniel-Diaz/hatex-guide.git
$ cd hatex-guide
$ cabal install
Once installed, import Text.LaTeX.Guide
and use writeGuide
to build the actual guide. Depending on the argument used for writeGuide
, the output will have a different format. For example, writeGuide LaTeX
will output in the current directory a .tex
file of the guide.
Contributing to the guide
There are several things to keep in mind to contribute to the guide. If you contribute, do not forget to add your name to the contributors
list which you can find in the Text.LaTeX.Guide.Info
module.
Sections
Each section of the guide is written in a different file. Every section is stored in the src
folder in the repository. The order in which each section appears in the guide is determined by the sectionList
constant defined in the Text.LaTeX.Guide.Info
module.
Syntax
The syntax used to write the guide is described in Text.LaTeX.Guide.Syntax
. The current content can also be helpful to understand it.
Images
When including images, it is required to save them in the res
directory, and include their file name in the otherResources
value defined in the Text.LaTeX.Guide.Info
module.
