# 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.
**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 a file `my_chapter.pdf`. Optionally, specify the
font for the conversion; the default setting is
$ oso2pdf --font="Liberation Serif" my_chapter.html
## Installation
Runtime dependencies:
- a working installation of pandoc
- some XeLaTeX compatible font, such as Liberation Serif
To build and install, first
[install stack](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack), and then
$ git clone git@github.com:spwhitton/oso2pdf.git
$ cd oso2pdf
$ stack install
