Install

Be sure to create a symlink named 'vim-for-humans' in the project directory. This symlink should point to a directory where you've cloned code examples.

You will need some prerequisites to be able to compile the LaTeX source code:

• A Tex distribution, TexLive for example.
• Pygments, it's used for syntax highlighting using the mint LaTeX package.
• Sphinx to generate the epub file.
• kindlegen to generate the .mobi file.
• sphinx-autobuild if you want to start a webserver with hot reload in rst/fr with make livehtml

Archlinux

yay -S python-sphinx python-pygments kindlegen

Use instructions from the official website for TeX Live

Compile

After the dependencies have been installed, run makedist.sh script to start compiling. If the compilation fails, be sure to check the content of the script and try running each command one after another.

Tips & tricks

Generate rounded/shadowed image

Be sur to have ImageMagick installed and use the add-borders.sh script like these:

./add-borders.sh book-tex/graphics/vim-catpuccin-mocha.png

It will replace your book-tex/graphics/vim-catpuccin-mocha.png image with a rounded/shadowed one and save the original image to book-tex/graphics/vim-catpuccin-mocha-original.png.

Get kitty terminal window for screenshots with sway

With sway, be sure that your kitty window is floating. Then resize it and change kitty font size.

swaymsg -r resize set width 1200 px; swaymsg -r resize set height 1000 px; kitty @ set-font-size 14
