Building
--------
To generate the build scripts provision a cabal sandbox with pandoc in it. This
is done by the ``write-you-a-haskell.cabal`` and ``stack.yaml`` files.
**Stack**
```bash
$ stack exec make
```
To generate the pdf, the LaTeX packages must be installed on the
system.
```bash
$ sudo apt-get install texlive-xetex texlive-latex-extra
$ sudo apt-get install xzdec
$ sudo tlmgr install zapfding
$ stack exec make pdf
```
Generation of the epub is also supported.
```bash
$ stack exec make epub
```
**Cabal**
```bash
$ cabal sandbox init
$ cabal install --only-dependencies
$ cabal exec bash
$ make
```
Contributing
------------
Any and all contributions are always welcome. As always, I rely on the
perpetual kindness and goodwill of Haskellers (like you!) to help correct
grammar, clarify, and fix errors.
