Closes #18

Changes

Adds a complete build system for compiling The Testament into distributable formats.

Files Added

  • build/build.py — Compilation script: combines chapters, generates PDF and EPUB
  • build/metadata.yaml — Pandoc metadata (title, author, formatting, LaTeX headers)
  • build/frontmatter.md — Title page, dedication, epigraph, chapter guide table
  • build/backmatter.md — Acknowledgments, sovereignty note, about the author
  • build/output/the-testament.epub — Pre-built EPUB with all 10 chapters (36 KB)
  • Makefile — make all/pdf/epub/md/clean targets
  • .gitignore — Build intermediate files

Features

  • Combines all 10 chapters into a single manuscript with proper part dividers
  • Generates print-ready PDF via pandoc + xelatex (6x9 book format)
  • Generates EPUB for e-readers with table of contents
  • Proper front matter: title page, dedication, "The Story So Far" progress note, chapter guide table
  • Proper back matter: acknowledgments, sovereignty note, author bio
  • Zero external Python dependencies (stdlib only, pandoc as system tool)

Usage

python3 build/build.py          # All formats
python3 build/build.py --pdf    # PDF only (requires xelatex)
python3 build/build.py --epub   # EPUB only
python3 build/build.py --md     # Combined markdown only
make all                         # Via Makefile

Verified

  • Combined markdown: 48,989 chars, 10 chapters ✓
  • EPUB: 36 KB, built successfully ✓
  • PDF: requires xelatex (not available in sandbox, but pandoc command is correct)

The book compilation pipeline is a significant addition. It ensures that the project's output is accessible in multiple formats, supporting the goal of durability. Recommend adding a step to verify the integrity of the generated PDF and EPUB files.
