NAME

Text::Amuse::Compile - Compiler for Text::Amuse

VERSION

Version 0.37

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Amuse::Compile;
my $compiler = Text::Amuse::Compile->new;
$compiler->compile($file1, $file2, $file3)

METHODS/ACCESSORS

CONSTRUCTOR

new(ttdir => '.', pdf => 1, ...);

Constructor. It will accept the following options

Format options (by default all of them are activated);

cleanup

Remove auxiliary files after compilation (.status)

webfontsdir

If you want to embed fonts in the EPUB, pass the directory with the fonts and the specification file (see Text::Amuse::Compile::Webfonts) in this option.

luatex

Use lualatex instead of xelatex.

tex

LaTeX output. Compatible with xelatex and lualatex (see below for the packages needed).

pdf

Plain PDF without any imposition

a4_pdf

PDF imposed on A4 paper

lt_pdf

PDF imposed on Letter paper

html

Full HTML output

epub

The EPUB

bare_html

The bare HTML, non <head>

zip

The zipped sources

extra

An hashref of key/value pairs to pass to each template in the options namespace.

standalone

Do not force bcor=0 and oneside for plain tex and pdf

debug

Slow down the compilation sleeping for a while. DO NOT USE.

Template directory:

ttdir

The directory where to look for templates, named as format.tt

You can retrieve the value by calling them on the object.

available_methods

Return a list of all the available compilation methods

compile_methods

Return the list of the methods which are going to be used.

METHODS

templates

The Text::Amuse::Compile::Templates object, which will provide the templates string references.

webfonts

The Text::Amuse::Compile::Webfonts object, constructed from the the webfontsdir option.

version

Report version information

logger($sub)

Accessor/setter for the subroutine which will handle the logging. Defaults to printing to the standard output.

recursive_compile($directory)

Compile recursive a directory, comparing the timestamps of the status file with the muse file. If the status file is newer, the file is ignored.

Return a list of absolute path to the files processed. To infer the success or the failure of each file look at the status file or at the logs.

find_muse_files($directory)

Return a sorted list of files with extension .muse excluding illegal names (including hidden files and directories).

find_new_muse_files($directory)

As above, but check the age of the status file and skip already processed files.

compile($file1, $file2, ...);

Main method to get the job done, passing the list of muse files. You can inspect the errors calling errors. It does produce some output.

The file may also be an hash reference. In this case, the compile will act on a list of files and will merge them. Beware that so far only the pdf and tex options will work, while the other html methods will throw exceptions or (worse probably) produce empty files. This will be fixed soon. This feature is marked as experimental and could change in the future.

virtual file hashref

The hash reference should have those mandatory fields:

files

An arrayref of filenames without extension.

path

A mandatory directory where to find the above files.

Optional keys

name

Default to virtual. This is the basename of the files which will be produced. It's up to you to provide a sensible name we don't do any check on that.

suffix

Defaults to '.muse' and you have no reason to change this.

Every other key is the metadata of the new document, so usually you want to set title and optionally author.

Example:

$c->compile({
             # mandatory
             path  => File::Spec->catdir(qw/t merged-dir/),
             files => [qw/first second/],

             # recommended
             name  => 'my-new-test',
             title => 'My new shiny test',

             # optional
             subtitle => 'Another one',
             date => 'Today!',
             source => 'Text::Amuse::Compile',
            });

You can pass as many hashref you want.

file_needs_compilation

Returns true if the file has already been compiled, false if some output file is missing or stale.

report_failure_sub(sub { push @problems, $_[0] });

You can set the sub to be used to report problems using this accessor. It will receive as first argument the file which led to failure.

The actual errors are logged by the logger sub.

errors

Accessor to the catched errors. It returns a list of strings.

add_errors($error1, $error2,...)

Add an error. [Internal]

reset_errors

Reset the errors

TeX live packages needed.

You need the xetex scheme plus the following packages: fontspec, polyglossia, pzdr, wrapfig, footmisc, ulem, microtype, zapfding.

For the luatex options, same as above plus luatex (and the lualatex format), luatexbase, luaotfload.

The luatex option could give better microtypography results but is slower (x4) and requires more memory (x2).
