NAME
techbook - Call the TechBook markup language interpreter
SYNOPSIS
techbook [options] [INPUT FILE]
DESCRIPTION
ITechBook is a simple markup language. This command compiles a TechBook
document into a PDF, using Ruby’s PDF::Writer module.
OPTIONS
techbook can be called using the following options:
-n, --no-cache
By default, the techbook command will generate the PDF document
and a cached version of the document. If the input file is
"test.pwd", then both "test.pdf" and "test._mc" will be
generated. This switch disables the generation of the _mc file.
-f, --force-regen
If the input file is older than the generated cache document
(if one exists), then the techbook command will regenerate the
document. This option forces the cache to be regenerated.
-z, --compress
The resulting PDF is by default not compressed. Specifying this
option compresses the PDF. It can only be applied if the
document is being generated from the original document, not
from a cached version.
INPUT FILE
Specifies the source filename to be processed. If no input file
is specified, it defaults to Imanual.pwd.
