Oijon Dev Log - Susquehanna 0.1.2

12/13/2024

I used LaTeX to write something longer than a page for the first time today, and it was quite enjoyable. At first I was worried about things being more painful than they needed to be, but it worked out well. I think in the future, I'll make manuals for all software here aimed at an end-user. I think that javadocs would be more useful to a developer than a manual, so I'll refrain from making manuals for things like OLing (at least for the time being). I'm especially happy with how the figures turned out, as I personally think they make the text flow much better. I went ahead and printed out the manual, mainly because I think it's neat to have a physical thing from something I've been working on. I made the .tex file for it a part of the repo, so other people can add and change things to the manual as they see fit. I'm not sure how LaTeX handles other authors, but I hope that everyone who contributes can add their name as authors to the manual! The next thing I plan on doing is letting the manual display in the application itself. Susquehanna already has the UI of a book, so having each page of the PDF take up a page in the book UI would be ideal. I think that'll be for the next iteration though.
