Transmogrify is a tool that converts markdown sprinkled with some Lisp to LaTeX

Documentation

Refer to the user manual. The user manual has been written using transmogrify, so user_manual.md can be used as an example

Usage

$ transmogrify <in.md> <out.tex>

Pair it with scribe to get a complete system for documenting your programs

Features

• Single binary
• Support for basic markdown syntax
• Configuration using an embedded Lisp
• Markdown extensions written in Lisp:
  • Abstract
  • Table of Contents
  • Sidenote
  • Marginnote
• In-built support for rendering svg diagrams written in pikchr language

Dependencies

All dependencies are vendored under subprojects/. No external dependencies

Build

Transmogrify is written in C11, so you will need a C compiler that supports that standard. We are using meson with the ninja backend:

meson	ninja
0.59.2	1.10.2

1. Get the ninja binary from here
2. Add the location of your ninja binary to your PATH environment variable
3. Install meson
4. Navigate to the project directory
5. $ meson builddir
6. $ cd builddir
7. $ meson compile

Status

This is the first alpha release. All the above mentioned features work but we need more testing and polish to enter the beta phase. For now, stability not guaranteed

Roadmap

1. Theming
2. Conversion to html
3. Conversion to plaintext
4. More syntax extensions
