Scratch Exercises

Scratch exercises made with scratch-LN.

Write scratch exercises in markdown.

The exercises are then avaible in web form or in pdf form.

Scripts for: markdown -> html -> pdf

Developping

Prerequisites

• pandoc
• recent version of node (I used v8.11.1)
• puppeteer, ( npm install puppeteer -g)
• I used cygwin to run scripts

Running scripts

You first have to generate the html with pandoc, next you can use the puppeteer script to make a pdf. Some script are provided but might need some adjustments to work for you.

Generating html

The file create-web.sh generates a html file using pandoc. Give as argument the 'name' of one or more files in the markdown-directory, this is without extension, it will output a html file in the web-directory. The html file contains the header defined in head.html. This header contains the reference to scratch-LN. If the option -a is provided all files in the markdown-directory will be generated.

verify in the create-web.sh:

• how you run pandoc

This script can be runned as

• ./create-web.sh -a
• ./create-web.sh test
• ./create-web.sh test test2

Generating pdf

The file makePDF.js generates the pdf using puppeteer. No arguments generates all files in the web-directory, the name(s) (same as above without extension) of selected files is also possible.

verify in the makePDF.js:

• module.paths
• directory const

This script can be runned as

• node makePDF.js
• node makePDF.js test
• node makePDF.js test test2
