Modmark bachelor's thesis

This repo contains the thesis for the ModMark project, the entire thesis is written in the ModMark language itself (see "main.mdm" and the "include" directory) and can be compiled into a LaTeX or HTML document.

Setup

Define the env variable MODMARK_PATH that points to the root of the ModMark repo. Something like this:

export MODMARK_PATH="/home/user/path/to/modmark"

Transpile to LaTeX

Run

./compile-to-tex.sh

This will first build the chalmers-thesis ModMark package and then transpile the document using the ModMark compiler.

PDF output

The easiest way to convert the generated .tex file into a pdf is by installing and using TeXstudio. Remember use biber instead of bibtex, see "Options -> Configure TeXstudio -> Build". Also, the template uses the svg package which uses inkspace to convert svgs. This means that inkscape needs to be installed and you also need to use the --shell-escape option for pdflatex.

Live preview

While writing it might be easier to use a live HTML preview instead of compiling down to a pdf file. To do so, run:

./live-preview.sh
