# oso2pdf
## Introduction
This computer program attempts to convert book chapters downloaded
from [Oxford Scholarship Online](http://www.oxfordscholarship.com/) to
PDF. The PDFs are better than those the OSO website can generate: the
pages of the PDF correspond to the pages of the original book, and the
typography is nicer. The hard work is done by
[Pandoc](http://pandoc.org/) and LaTeX.
**N.B.** This software is of use only to someone who has legitimate
access to Oxford Scholarship Online and has already downloaded a book
chapter to their own computer. It **does not make any network
connections** to Oxford Scholarship Online and it **cannot assist in
breaking the license terms** Oxford Scholarship Online users are bound
by.
## Usage
Use your web browser to save a book chapter from Oxford Scholarship
Online to an HTML file, e.g. `my_chapter.html`. Then run the command
$ oso2pdf my_chapter.html
which will produce files `my_chapter-content.pdf` and
`my_chapter-notes.pdf`. Optionally, specify the font for the
conversion; the default setting is
$ oso2pdf --font="Liberation Serif" my_chapter.html
You may pass additional arguments to pandoc like this:
$ oso2pdf --font="Times New Roman" my_chapter.html -- -V documentclass=pessay -V classoption=onehalf --template=pessay
In this example Pandoc is instructed to make use of the files
[~/.pandoc/templates/pessay.latex](https://github.com/spwhitton/dotfiles/blob/master/.pandoc/templates/pessay.latex)
and
[~/texmf/tex/latex/pessay/pessay.cls](https://github.com/spwhitton/dotfiles/blob/master/texmf/tex/latex/pessay/pessay.cls).
Indeed, any arguments passed after `--` will be ignored by oso2pdf and
handed on to invocations of Pandoc.
## Installation
Runtime dependencies:
- a working installation of Pandoc
- a working LaTeX installation, including XeLaTeX
- some XeLaTeX-compatible font, such as Liberation Serif
`oso2pdf` is available from Hackage, so if you have a working Haskell
installation on your machine you should just be able to run `cabal
install oso2pdf`. But instead, I recommend installing [stack][] and
then
$ git clone git@github.com:spwhitton/oso2pdf.git
$ cd oso2pdf
$ stack install
which will put the `oso2pdf` and `pandoc-oso2tex` binaries in
~/.local/bin, which should be in your PATH environment variable if
you've set stack up correctly.

## Bugs
Please report bugs by e-mail to `<spwhitton@spwhitton.name>` or
`<spwhitton@email.arizona.edu>`. I'd also appreciate hearing from you
if this program has been useful to you.
