Pandoc Continuous Compilation Mode                                      

Simple continuous compilation mode with Pandoc. 

====================
Project Organization
====================

1. Use Markdown for formatting
2. Put individual "chapters" or sections in separate .md files
3. Start each file with a heading
5. List the files to be compiled in COMPILELIST.TXT
6. Add styling in style.css

The files will be concatenated and compiled in the order they are listed.

To link to a section use an internal anchor link. Use lowercase only and replace
spaces with underscores. Eg:

Heading:    ## Introductory Chapter
Link:       [link text](#introductory-chapter)

=========
Compiling
=========

To compile once, run:

    make

To monitor files, and re-compile when they are changed run:

    watch -n1 make

Makefile

# Run watch -n1 make

files := $(shell xargs -a COMPILELIST.TXT)

index.html: $(files)
	pandoc $(files) --toc -f markdown -t html -c style.css -o $@
