Compiling the Book

You can compile the output files using any standard LaTeX distribution which includes TeX4ht.

To compile the PDF version use LuaLaTeX:

$ lualatex document.tex

For the HTML version, you can use make4ht, build system for TeX4ht.

$ make4ht -e build.lua -c config.cfg -lj index -d out document.tex

Since we need both a Lua build script (for make4ht) and a TeX4ht config file, this command ends up being a bit more involved.

The -e build.lua option loads the build file. It modifies the output fil The -l option ensures that LuaLaTeX is used as the compiler.
