Publish Pipeline

Activates when research documents need to be converted to publication formats and deployed to the live site.

Build Chain

Markdown (.md) → pandoc → Standalone HTML (branded template)
                       → LaTeX PDF (xelatex, branded template)

Prerequisites

• ~/.local/bin/pandoc (v3.6+)
• xelatex (texlive-xetex)
• DejaVu fonts (for PDF)
• Templates at the project level: template.tex, html-template.html
• build.sh script in the project directory

Build Command

bash www/$SITE_DOMAIN/Research/PROJECT/build.sh

Template Setup

Each research project needs:

1. template.tex — LaTeX template (branded header/footer, colors, title page)
2. html-template.html — Standalone HTML template (dark theme, navigation)
3. build.sh — Iterates research/*.md, builds both formats

FTP Sync

# Full site sync
bash scripts/sync-research-to-live.sh

# Single project sync (direct to FTP root)
lftp -f /tmp/lftp-PROJECT.sh
# Where remote path is /PROJECT (NOT /Research/PROJECT)

Critical: The web server maps $DEPLOY_HOST/Research/X/ to FTP root /X/, not to /Research/X/. Always upload to root-level project directories.

Series Integration

After publishing, add the project to series.js:

{ id: 'CODE', name: 'Project Name', path: 'CODE/index.html' },

Alphabetical insertion by ID.
