1. Ma 375 - Communicating Mathematics
Carl Eberhart and Paul Eakin
Class 22
Modifying Large Documents from Chisel

2. Today, we will ‘colorize’ the text
Visual Problem Solving, which is
on the chisel disk, and add a
worksheet to it.

3. To colorize the text
1. open the development directory
‘all’ to your hard drive.
2. open the table of contents
worksheet in Maple and successively
export each worksheet to LaTeX.
3. As you do this, massage each
worksheet with mkcolor.pl. If necessary,
remove empty maple outputs and empty
maple plots, and reexport.

4. 4. After each worksheet has been exported
and prepped with mkcolor, create a file (texfiles)
with the names of the exported worksheets,
one name to a line. Also create an info file
containing title, author, and frontpiece.
5. Make the rootfile for the book with
perl -S mkcolor -t bookname.tex texfiles info
6. Latex twice, and then use makeindex to
convert bookname.idx to bookname.ind. Then
move that to index.tex and include this in the
rootfile.

5. 7. LaTeX one more time to get the index in.
8. Use clreps.pl to colorize the exported eps plots.
9. Use dvips to form the color postscript version of the text.
Now to insert a new worksheet, process it
as you did the previous worksheets.

6. Final Project:
Write a book of worksheets with at least 3 chapters (worksheets), and a index and table of contents. The topic can be anything mathematical. Make a color LaTeX image of the book, and give me a
zipped copy of the development directory in which
you wrote your book.
This project is due during final week.
