A collection of styles for use withBookGen, especially suited to serialized works.Featuring:

• Standard Serif and Largetype Sans PDF forms
• Additional information on chapter­‑only PDFs for ease of distribution
• Trade (6x9in) page size
• CSS stylesheet with optionally embedded fonts

PDF styles are designed for use with XeLaTeX (the BookGen default).

All PDF styles require theOld Standard TT fonts. The Largetype style additionally requiresLato.

The Web+Fonts style embeds the Old Standard TT font using Base64 data: URIs.The Web-Fonts style lacks this font-embedding.

By specifying a raw HTML<style> block in theheader-includes of your project, you can change the colours of the document in supporting browsers by overriding the following CSS custom properties on the root element:

• --SerialStyle-Colour-White
• --SerialStyle-Colour-Bright
• --SerialStyle-Colour-Light
• --SerialStyle-Colour-Regular
• --SerialStyle-Colour-Medium
• --SerialStyle-Colour-Dark
• --SerialStyle-Colour-Dim
• --SerialStyle-Colour-Black

For example:

header-includes:|  ```{=html}  <style>  html {  --SerialStyle-Colour-White: #FFF8E3;  --SerialStyle-Colour-Bright: #EEE2BF;  --SerialStyle-Colour-Light: #AA9F7F;  --SerialStyle-Colour-Regular: #998B53;  --SerialStyle-Colour-Medium: #887744;  --SerialStyle-Colour-Dark: #776335;  --SerialStyle-Colour-Dim: #443628;  --SerialStyle-Colour-Black: #332714;  }  </style>  ```

To make usage of these styles simpler, you might want to set up a makefile in your work directory which automatically generates symlinks to their locations.The providedMakefile is intended to aid in this process.The following is an example makefile that one might set up which makes use of it:

SHELL = /bin/sh# Replace with the paths to these repositories on your device:BOOKGEN := BookGenSERIALSTYLE := SerialStyle# BookGen configuration:# DRAFTS := Drafts# export DRAFTSdefault: serialstyle bookgen# BookGen default make:bookgen:@$(MAKE) -ef "$(BOOKGEN)/GNUmakefile"# SerialStyle default make:serialstyle:@$(MAKE) -f "$(SERIALSTYLE)/Makefile"# Do not pattern­‑match this makefile:Makefile: ;# Always pass all unmatched patterns through to BookGen after running a SerialStyle make:%: serialstyle@$(MAKE) -ef "$(BOOKGEN)/GNUmakefile" $@# Delete generated files:clobber distclean gone:@$(MAKE) -f "$(SERIALSTYLE)/Makefile" gone@$(MAKE) -ef "$(BOOKGEN)/GNUmakefile" gone.PHONY: default bookgen serialstyle clobber distclean gone
