Failing real life example

[Eskimon]

Hi guys,

I tried to generate a pdf of one of my tutorial.
To do so, I made a fresh install in a virtual machine to test everything. I installed a clean zds-site (branch zmarkdown-notes) and fetch the template. Anyhow, after few things, I managed to get it compiling...almost. I have a ton of error and latex just give up after 100 of them.

Here is a gist with the md/tex/log data

Thanks for this nice example ;)

There is actually 3 things that are "wrong" in that document:

• Since the recent improvement of @Heziode, the syntax of \licence has changed, and I guess that it is not up to date in the parser, but it is probably us that should mention that ^^
• The images. Obviously, they are not provided here, but anyway there is another bug that I mention in rebber: some parser mistakes zmarkdown#137 (but since there were many bugs mentioned, so I'll resignal it :p )
• Finally, there is something that rebber does with the youtube video: it transforms the !(youtube.com/xxx) into an image ... But use the url to this image directly in LaTeX, which does not knows how to fetch urls (yeah, LaTeX is an old language :p ).

I'll open an issue into zmarkdown repo, but thanks for trying :)

For licence => zmd is still not released @sandhose

for youtube/rebber it's known and not so simple to fix

for the extension issue, It's a zds issue I think (or a latex issue). Perhaps as we now use lua you can perform some "temp file operation" when you detect more than one dot?

I like your idea for the third point, if I find some time, I'll look in that direction :)

zestedesavoir/zds-site#4733 is updated to fix the licence issue.

you need to install zmd at its newest version & manualy add lua external dependency to make it work but it's ok.

Ok, nice :)

I have a few piece of code to mix together in order to fix the "multiple dot" issue, but I think I will be able to make that one right. For Youtube, communicating trough http(s) in lua seems ... Difficult, so it is on you :p

nota : printable is built.

The error seems to be generated by an \externalLink inside a \image caption. Once I removed it, the pdf was produced properly

I think we are done here ;)
