# Lightning Network Paper

This is the Bitcoin Lightning Network paper.

Paper PDF: [http://lightning.network/lightning-network-paper.pdf](http://lightning.network/lightning-network-paper.pdf)

#Compiling/Editing

Paper is in LaTeX format. Diagrams are in dia, but may remake the diagrams in

inkscape for cleanliness.

## Updating bibliography

If you're not familiar with latex, updating bibliography requires running:

```

pdflatex new.tex

bibtex new

pdflatex new.tex

pdflatex new.tex

```

## Generating figures

requires dia

```

cd figures

python dia2pdf.py

```

## Formatting

By default, there is a text width of 80 characters unless there is an explicit

need to go longer.

If you want to do formatting of paragraphs, the vim settings are:

```

:set tw=80

```

If you want to reflow text, it's

```

gqj

```

If you want to reflow an entire paragraph, it's

```

gq}

```

There are a couple places where reflowing will break (primarily in figures

where it's sensitive to linebreaks).
