# A Nix expression to build a PDF file from Mardown, using Pandoc and LaTeX

This is a minimal repository to show a Nix expression that creates a PDF using

Pandoc.

If you have Nix, you can clone this repository (`cd` into it) and run

`nix-build`. You'll have more output than the code block below the first time

you run the command, since Nix will have to download all the necessary

dependencies.

```

$ nix-build 

this derivation will be built:

  /nix/store/3bw34fhj54q7jnbsk14hmqklff244dyc-hello.drv

building '/nix/store/3bw34fhj54q7jnbsk14hmqklff244dyc-hello.drv'...

/nix/store/dgllxyjaq42adp5rjzawjwbfy0icl1iv-hello

```

The last line above shows where the build artifact is located. In addition you

should have a symlink called `result` in the current directory; it points to

the same location.

```

$ ls -la

total 44

drwxr-xr-x   4 thu users  4096 Aug 22 23:58 .

drwxrwxr-x 410 thu users 20480 Aug 22 23:11 ..

-rw-r--r--   1 thu users  1891 Aug 22 23:50 default.nix

drwxr-xr-x   8 thu users  4096 Aug 22 23:59 .git

-rw-r--r--   1 thu users    36 Aug 22 23:27 hello.md

drwxr-xr-x   2 thu users  4096 Aug 22 23:11 nix

-rw-r--r--   1 thu users  1407 Aug 22 23:58 README.md

lrwxrwxrwx   1 thu users    49 Aug 22 23:50 result -> /nix/store/dgllxyjaq42adp5rjzawjwbfy0icl1iv-hello

```

There, you should have our example PDF, that you can then open:

```

$ ls result/

hello.pdf

$ mupdf result/hello.pd

```
