Template for a book about the lean prover

This is the source code for your book.

Our build process is rudimentary and not ready for prime time, but it is fairly convenient to use. Most of the source is written directly in the .lean files in lean_source using some simple markup. The Python script mkdoc.py then generates the .rst source for the textbook and an exercise file and a solution file for each section.

To edit the Lean files, you need to have Lean 3 installed. The command

leanproject get-mathlib-cache

installs the required version of the mathlib and caches the build files.

How to install

To compile the source code, you'll need the following tools installed:

  • Python

  • Sphinx

  • ReadTheDocs theme

  • TeXLive (only if you want to build a PDF)

To install Sphinx run (sudo) pip install sphinx. After that, install the ReadTheDocs theme with (sudo) pip install sphinx-rtd-theme. To install TexLive, follow the instructions of the official documentation.

Use the cheatsheet to get to know the syntax of the reST-Format

How to configure

Before building the book, you should configure the meta information. We recomment using the search and replace function of VS Code. Search the following strings and replace them with real information. Most of the configuration is done in the source/conf.py but some values are located in index.rst, deploy.sh and deploy.ps1

Key Location Explanation
TITLE OF THE BOOK conf.py, index.rst The title.
SUBTITILE conf.py The subtitle.
MAX MUSTERMANN conf.py The author.
BOOK_FILE_NAME conf.py, deploy.sh, deploy.ps1, Make.bat, Makefile The filename without the file extension used for the LaTeX document.
https://github.com/DEST_REPO deploy.sh, deploy.ps1 The link to your destination repository.

How to build

Run the following command to build the reStructuredText files, the exercise and solution files.

python ./lean_source/mkdoc.py

The command

make html

build the html book and places it in the build folder. The command

make latexpdf

build the pdf textbook instead.

The script deploy.sh is used to deploy everything to your destination repository. Make sure to activate GitHub Pages with GitHub Actions for that repository. To activate, under settings/pages change the Source from Deploy from a branch to GitHub Actions.
