Nice links

• The Waf Book
• Always feel free to refer to the real-life example

Structure

• Everything starts with template.latex which is a Pandoc template. Edit the first three lines of this file.
• preamble.latex has boring technical TeX stuff.
• bib.bib is the bibliography. Edit it with KBibTeX or something like that.
• licenses.latex is a list of licenses for artwork an source code used throughout the text. Licenses.pd is the last section that gives all the necessary attribution etc.
• pseudo.latex is the definition of a simple pseudocode programming language. You’ll probably want to extend it and/or define more languages (don’t forget to \input them in preamble.latex).
• wscript describes how to build everything and the sources variable is actually the only interesting thing there. See also: Lifehack
