About

Indoctrinatr Tools is a set of commandline tools to kick-start and develop Indoctrinatr Template Packs. Indoctrinatr in itself is an Open Source Software project by dkd Internet Service GmbH, Frankfurt (Germany), which renders eRuby (more specifically: Erubis) enriched XeTeX templates to PDF documents.

Installation

1. Install XeTeX:

   Mac OS X: MacTeX (e.g. brew install mactex)

   Debian/Ubuntu:

   apt-get install texlive texlive-xetex texlive-latex-extra texlive-generic-extra

2. We distribute Indoctrinatr Tools as a Rubygem. Please run:

   gem install indoctrinatr-tools

   After installation verify if you have a working indoctrinatr shell command.

LaTeX Requirements

• latexmk
• for the template documentation
  • Tested against TeX Live 2022
  • dirtree
  • datetime2

Usage

Replace project_name with the name of your Template Pack:

Command	Description
indoctrinatr new project_name	Creates a scaffold for a new Template Pack
indoctrinatr parse project_name	Parses a XeTex file with ERB and default values
indoctrinatr pdf project_name	Compiles PDF with default values
indoctrinatr pdf_with_field_names project_name	Generates PDF with the field names as values
indoctrinatr doc project_name	Creates a technical documentation of your template pack
indoctrinatr check project_name	Analyzes your Template Pack for errors
indoctrinatr pack project_name	Creates a Template Pack from a given project folder
indoctrinatr demo	Creates, parses, and compiles a demo project
indoctrinatr workflow	Displays a suggested workflow

The commands pdf, pdf_with_field_names and doc have a keep-aux-files option. This is helpful if you run in into LaTeX errors, want to inspect the .log file and run LaTeX for yourself again.

The command doc does not overwrite existing examples. This means that you can customize the examples that are appended in the documentation.

Build

If you want to build the Rubygem yourself, run rake build to build and rake install to build and install the Indoctrinatr Tools gem.
