EuroTcl 2023 - Jim and Tcl interoperability, Featuring thing o_o, Georg Lehner, 2023-07-20

Making of 2/2

I was asked to create a single PDF from the slides.

To convert the slide HTML to PDF wkhtmltopdf is used. The non-patched version does this only file by file.

To get rid of the <nav> elements, which are superfluous in PDF, I recurred again to the tdom package, filtering out with another tool in the slide package: preppdf.tcl.

All pages are concatentated with pfdunite from the poppler-utils package.

Orchestration is done by redo-c with two .do scripts: default.pdf.do and slides.pdf.do.
