File Layout

Lectures and Documents

This project uses pl-builder, to build py-ex-latex documents so the lecture sources are in fin_model_course/plbuild/sources/presentation and the document sources are in fin_model_course/plbuild/sources/document.

After building, the generated LaTeX and PDFs will be in fin_model_course/Documents, fin_model_course/Slides (presentation version), and fin_model_course/Handouts (static version of slides).

Useful Scripts

Note: all scripts should be run within the pipenv environment. Either prefix all commands with pipenv run or once run pipenv shell to get a shell with the pipenv environment. If you're in the pipenv shell, no need to prefix commands.

Note: Run commands from within the fin_model_course folder

Build Slides and Documents

Build All

Run plbuilder build

Note: This will take a while!

Build Single

Use the build command of plbuilder with the file path, e.g.:

plbuilder build plbuild/sources/presentation/1_intro.py

Auto-build

To automatically build sources whenever they are updated, run plbuilder autobuild.

Note: This will not notice when you change some file which is imported by the source rather than the source itself. It only monitors for direct changes to the source files.
