This is the source material used to generate the history of biology teaching lessons that form something of a companion to my book, A Pompous Parade of Arithmetic.
The code that builds these lessons might be of interest, if only because it does some pretty fancy stuff in terms of building a single Markdown file into a variety of interesting output formats.
A Pandoc Lua filter (build/filter.lua
) is building special environments around quotations from primary sources and "box" material for the "THINK" questions found in the text. It's also preparing special-classed images that are flowed in-text in LaTeX using the wrapfig
package. Images can also have footnotes for attribution, specified as a footnote
attribute.
The build happens almost exclusively via Pandoc itself; SCons is used to keep track of dependencies. A few stray sed
commands swap a few things around in the HTML. The build
directory contains a set of snippets that control paper size, color vs. black-and-white output options, language-specific typesetting options, and a general common bit that contains fonts as well as definitions of environments for the fancy quotes and boxes.
You won't be able to build these exactly yourself unless you have access to Adobe's Minion Pro and Myriad Pro font packages.
