TokenScript and Smart Layer Documentations

This repository hosts the documentation source for both TokenScript and SmartLayer websites. We've adopted dita for our documentation. Curious about our choice? Check out why not GitBook.

Compiling the Documentation:

Setup Dita Toolkit:
- Download and set up the Dita Open Toolkit. Ensure you're using dita-4.1 as it's the only version we've tested with.
Plugin Installation:
- It's essential to install the plugins in the correct sequence:
```
$ dita install fox.jason.extend.css
$ dita install fox.jason.favicon
$ dita install net.infotexture.dita-bootstrap
```
  A deviation from this order might necessitate a reinstall.
Dita Diagram Plugin:
- Manually copy the com.oxygenxml.diagrams.svg folder from the dia-ot-diagrams-plugin to the plugins directory in your dita installation. Then, run:
```
$ dita --install
```
  A successful installation will acknowledge the plugin com.oxygenxml.diagrams.svg.

Generate Stuff:

To create a website for a document project, use:
```
$ dita --project config/smartlayer-docsite.yaml -o out/document.smartlayer.network
```
This command populates the out/ directory with the website.

To create a website for TokenScript project, use:

$ dita --project config/tokenscript-docsite.yaml -o out/tokenscript-docs

For compiling the Smart Token paper, use:

$ pandoc --toc=true --resource-path=src/papers --csl src/papers/chicago-author-date.csl --citeproc --bibliography src/papers/smart-token-paper.bib -o out/smart-token-paper.pdf src/papers/smart-token-paper.md

For compiling the TokenScript Design paper, use:
```
$ dita --project config/tokenscript-papers.xml
```
The results - tokenscript-design-paper.pdf and tokenscript-short-paper.pdf - can be found in out
For compiling the SmartLayer Overview paper and its detailed counterpart:
```
$ dita --project config/smartlayer-paper.xml
```
The results - smartlayer-overview.pdf and smartlayer-paper.pdf can be found in out

For the Smart Token Technical paper, which wasn't using dita, it can be created using

$ pandoc --resource-path=src/papers --csl src/papers/chicago-note-bibliography.csl --citeproc --bibliography src/papers/smart-layer-technical-paper.bib -o out/smartlayer-technical-paper.pdf src/papers/smart-layer-technical-paper.md

This result is a single PDF file: smart-layer-technical-paper.pdf.

Directory Overview:

Here's a snapshot of our directory structure and their respective roles:

Directory	Description
cli/	Command-line utility documents. Future plans include moving this to `product/cli`.
concept/	Houses conceptual documents.
developers/	Developer-centric documents. These will be relocated to `usecase` and `guide`.
elements/	TokenScript elements.
faq/	Frequently Asked Questions.
features/	Details on features across different versions of Smart Layers or TokenScript.
guide/	Code-based guides for developers.
integration/	Initially contained integration guides. These will be distributed among other directories.
privacyandsecurity/	Will be distributed into other directories.
research/	A collection of research papers and studies.
specs/	Technical specifications, primarily for implementors. This will be renamed to `spec/`.
technology/	Introductory materials for a broader audience, sans immediate code solutions.
tokenscript-paper/	Contains chapters of the paper written in markdown.
usecase/	Use-case materials, including technical guides and case studies.

For Contributors:

Assuming using Linux or OS X, to avoid commit errors, consider creating a .git/hooks/pre-commit with:

#!/bin/sh
dita --project config/smartlayer-paper.xml
dita --project config/tokenscript-papers.xml
pandoc --resource-path=src/papers --csl src/papers/chicago-note-bibliography.csl --citeproc --bibliography src/papers/smart-layer-technical-paper.bib  -o out/smart-layer-technical-paper.pdf src/papers/smart-layer-technical-paper.md

Then make it executable. This should detect any error before commit.

This isn't added to the git repo due to potential variations in dita executable locations and system differences.

Sysops:

If you possess the requisite credentials, you can upload the website to a hosting account:

$ lftp -c 'open cobalt.primarywebservers.com; mirror -x .git --exclude-glob-from=.gitignore -R out/ ./'

Issues and Fixes:

Error from running pandoc: option '--toc' doesn't allow an argument

Solution: Likely because your pandoc version is too low, consider pandoc 3.2.

Error from running pandoc: `pdflatex not found. Please select a different --pdf-engine or install pdflatex

Solution: install the package that provides pdflatex. On Ubuntu/Debian, it is sudo apt install texlive-latex-base.

Error from running pandoc: ! LaTeX Error: Filexcolor.sty' not found.`

Solution: install the package that provides it. On Ubuntu/Debian, it is texlive

Error: "html5-bootstrap" is not a recognized transformation type

Solution: This arises from an improper installation of net.infotexture.dita-bootstrap. Resolve by reinstalling the plugins in the specified order:

$ dita uninstall net.infotexture.dita-bootstrap
$ dita uninstall fox.jason.favicon
$ dita uninstall fox.jason.extended.css
$ dita install fox.jason.extend.css
$ dita install fox.jason.favicon
$ dita install net.infotexture.dita-bootstrap
