The book is expected to produce both HTML and PDF and is currently tested with:\n\n* LaTeXML version 0.8.7\n* TeX Live 2022\n\nNote: Tex Live 2023 fails to build with LaTeXML 0.8.7.  However, LaTeXML 0.8.8 will work with Tex Live 2023 or 2024, it just takes about 25 minutes to build. The long build time is an acknowledged upstream bug, but it is not clear if that bug is in LaTeXML, LaTeX or when it will be fixed.\n\nAll documents can be built locally by running the script `local-build.sh --use-latex-mk`. This will create a directory called `local-build` that contains the book in PDF, single page HTML, and multi-page HTML formats.\n\nThe Book also builds in PDF format without using the `local-build.sh` script using: \n\n* TeXstudio version 4.5.1 or later\n* TeXShop version Version 5.12 or later\n\nThe first time the book is built in a clean repository using TeXstudio or TeXShop the glossary or index build may error out or not be included into the PDF. This is normally fixed by making sure that TeXstudio or TeXShop are using `latexmk` instead of `pdflatex` for the build command.\n\n## Development Requirements\n\nSince the build process uses LaTeXML the only packages that can be in the LaTeX source are those compatible with LaTeXML.  The acceptable package list can be found at [LaTeXML Bindings](https://math.nist.gov/~BMiller/LaTeXML/manual/included.bindings/).\n\nNote that as of LaTeXML version 0.8.7, the `enumitem` package style `nextline`  (`\\setlist[description]{style=nextline}`), is not implemented. This book uses the following workaround to make the lists look good in the HTML files.\n\n```\n\\ifpdf\n      \\newcommand{\\htmlspacing}{}\n\\else\n      \\newcommand{\\htmlspacing}{ \\hfill \\\\}\n\\fi\n```\nUsed as follows:\n\n```\n\\begin{description}[style=nextline]\n\\item [ar\\_transaction\\_all]  \\htmlspacing The item text.\n\\end{description}\n```\n\nAdditional technical documentation which is useful when writing documentation can be found at:\n[https://docs.ledgersmb.org](https://docs.ledgersmb.org)\n\n## Scripts Directory\n\nThe directory `scripts` contains Perl scripts used to manually retrieve information from various sources for inclusion in the book.\n\nTo execute these scripts the following are required:\n\n* Perl v5.34.1 or later - Earlier versions may work, but have not been tested\n* Selenium::Firefox - Tested with version 1.49\n* DBI - Tested with version 1.643 \n* Access to a running LedgerSMB server with access to both the LSMB server and direct access to its database\n\nOn Ubuntu 22.10:\n\n* libdbi-perl, libdbd-pg-perl\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fledgersmb%2Fledgersmb-book","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fledgersmb%2Fledgersmb-book","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fledgersmb%2Fledgersmb-book/lists"}
