md2verse.sh

create .tex from markdown files in verse format This bash-script converts an easy markdown file in aqoaba dialect to LaTeX code. This LaTeX code needs a wrapper LaTeX script with

\usepackage{verse, gmverse}

in the preamble and some other features. The path to markdown files, chapter names and other options can be configured in the verse.conf file. The verse.conf file is read by mkverse.sh`.

---

mkverse.sh

The mkverse.sh script creates a PDF file out of several easy markdown files. Some options need to be set in vers.conf file. A single configuration file can be given to mkverse.sh to use instead of verse.conf.

cp verse.conf quaderno.conf
./mkverse.sh quaderno.conf

md2parallel.sh
