Automated scholarly manuscripts on GitHub

HTML Manuscript PDF Manuscript Build Status

Manuscript description

This repository uses the Manubot to recreate the Bitcoin whitepaper. The source was derived from the HTML whitepaper version provided by the Satoshi Nakamoto Institute. For more background on this project, see the Steemit post How I used the Manubot to reproduce the Bitcoin Whitepaper and this StackExchange answer. This project began as a live demo in a 2017-09-19 Greene Lab Meeting describing the Manubot!

Manubot

Manubot is a system for writing scholarly manuscripts via GitHub. Manubot automates citations and references, versions manuscripts using git, and enables collaborative writing via GitHub. The Manubot Rootstock repository is a general purpose template for creating new Manubot instances, as detailed in SETUP.md. See USAGE.md for documentation how to write a manuscript.

Please open an issue for questions related to Manubot usage, bug reports, or general inquiries.

Repository directories & files

The directories are as follows:

  • content contains the manuscript source, which includes markdown files as well as inputs for citations and references. See USAGE.md for more information.
  • output contains the outputs (generated files) from the manubot including the resulting manuscripts. You should not edit these files manually, because they will get overwritten.
  • webpage is a directory meant to be rendered as a static webpage for viewing the HTML manuscript.
  • build contains commands and tools for building the manuscript.
  • ci contains files necessary for deployment via continuous integration. For the CI configuration, see .travis.yml.

Local execution

To run the Manubot locally, install the conda environment as described in build. Then, you can build the manuscript on POSIX systems by running the following commands.

# Activate the manubot conda environment (assumes conda version >= 4.4)
conda activate manubot

# Build the manuscript
sh build/build.sh

# Or monitor the content directory, and automatically rebuild the manuscript
# when a change is detected.
sh build/autobuild.sh

# At this point, the HTML & PDF outputs will have been created. The remaining
# commands are for serving the webpage to view the HTML manuscript locally.

# Configure the webpage directory
python build/webpage.py

# View the manuscript locally at http://localhost:8000/
cd webpage
python -m http.server

Continuous Integration

Build Status

Whenever a pull request is opened, Travis CI will test whether the changes break the build process to generate a formatted manuscript. The build process aims to detect common errors, such as invalid citations. If your pull request build fails, see the Travis CI logs for the cause of failure and revise your pull request accordingly.

When a commit to the master branch occurs (for example, when a pull request is merged), Travis CI builds the manuscript and writes the results to the gh-pages and output branches. The gh-pages branch uses GitHub Pages to host the following URLs:

For continuous integration configuration details, see .travis.yml.
