% MakeDown - A Makefile for Pandoc and LaTeX % Tony Thompson % 12 June 2009

This Makefile is intended to build largish PDF and HTML documents from markdown source. It relies heavily on implicit rules; in most cases one must only specify dependancies.

This is a non-recursive build system; only one instance of make is needed. The main advantage of this approach is that dependancy information is constant throughout the entire tree; this can lead to a substantial reduction in compile times. Also, there are fewer spawned processes. The disadvantage is that all make instantiations must be done from the root of the tree, i.e.: from this make file, not from any of the child makefiles.

Requires:

• LaTeX
• BibTeX
• pandoc
• bibtex2html

Good to have:

• dot (graphviz)
• eps2pdf
• ps2pdf
• mini-httpd for built in web preview.
