Production Notes

Document Production Software

These materials are prepared with Typst, an open-source document preparation system that turns text-based markup files into PDF output.

Using Typst has benefits: it's appropriate tooling for paginated documents (which we want, if we want to print out physical copies for students or the shop floor), and supports content reuse.

Content Reuse

At the moment, the printed document set supports content reuse of:

  • Policy content
  • Tool guides
  • Software guides
  • Concept guides

…across class handouts and shop floor binders.

Version Control

The source files for the printed document set are in version control, as part of the monorepo printed_materials in the Protohaven GitHub organization:

https://github.com/protohaven/printed_materials

Licensing

These drafts are licensed CC BY-NC-SA. Also, we want to make sure we're not using content under copyright by others for these materials.
