This allowed me to standardize the sourcetar and sf/* scripts: the base
directory (containing ./git) is now empty, except for maintenance scripts,
while the source files and build scripts of the annotations are stored in
a subdirectory of their own.

The following recipe was provided by Jurjen Bokma (j dot bokma at rug dot nl)
|
|
for creating a neatly bound C++ Annotations book. He gave me one as a 2011
|
|
X-mas present, and I think it's a great gift. Thanks, Jurjen!
|
|
|
|
The recipe then, is:
|
|
- gunzip makebook.sh.gz
|
|
- Call the script like this:
|
|
./makebook.sh --t7 -p2 cplusplus.pdf
|
|
(t7 is for 7-sheet signatures, see below, and p2 is to prepend two
|
|
empty pages, which you may or may not like/do)
|
|
- Have the output, cplusplus_book.pdf, printed.
|
|
For normal-size output, you need A3 paper.
|
|
I use 60-gram paper, so I can keep all in one book.
|
|
Print double-sided, short-edge-bind.
|
|
- Separate the printout into bundles of 7 sheets.
|
|
Don't mess up the order.
|
|
- Fold every bundle neatly in half.
|
|
- Take these folded signatures to a book binder, e.g.
|
|
http://www.boekbinderijerends.nl and wait a few weeks,
|
|
or try to DIY.
|
|
|
|
Background:
|
|
A bound book is made up of signatures, stacks of a small number n (e.g.
|
|
7) of sheets double the size of the book's page, folded in half. Each of
|
|
these signatures gets sewn into the book casing.
|
|
|
|
So the A4 PDF being processed must be reshuffled so that the pages are
|
|
printed on A3 paper, in signatures of n sheets formed by 4*n original
|
|
pages. That is what the script does.
|
|
|
|
This results in an A4 sized book. If you need other sizes, adapt accordingly.
