Model checking course prereq #1

Closed piyush-kurur closed 7 years ago

piyush-kurur commented 7 years ago

The current assumption of the field prereq in the meta-data is that it is a list of course codes. The model checking course has a rather descriptive prereq. As a result the metadata parsing is giving a parse error and the pdf is not generated. It is not clear how to handle this. This needs some thought.

piyush-kurur commented 7 years ago

One suggestion is to have two fields. prereq for the exact course pre-requsites and prereq-descriptive for a more descriptive prerequisites. The field names are up for bikeshedding. This requires some changes in the parser but so be it.

May be it is better to add the verbose pre-requsites as text in the main body. That will make it simple.

Yes, we can make it inline. I feel "Background Required" will be more clear than "Background"

Go ahead and make that change.
