Part 3 Chapter on Typesetting #21

Closed thephoeron closed 9 years ago

thephoeron commented 9 years ago

To extend the discussion of documentation and literate programming from Part Two, it would be ideal to include a new chapter early in Part Three focused on Typesetting with Common Lisp, to either leverage or fully replace the LaTeX stack.

Marc Battyani's CL-PDF + CL-Typesetting libraries are ideal candidates for discussion. A discussion on multiple output formats from single-source text, using CL-Docutils, CL-Markdown, and 3bmd will also be useful.

This chapter will be essential for typesetting Quantum Circuit Diagrams automatically from Lisp source for chapter 3.14, for feature-parity with Quipper and visualization purposes.

Intro text and exercise skeleton complete; all chapters and exercises for part three have been appropriately renumbered.

The focus of this chapter will be on a 100% Common Lisp based typesetting stack.
