This patch adds the MSavage latex template as a submodule to dungeonsheets, adds it to the TEXINPUTS environment and adds TTFONTS environment variable to find the kalam font. Furthermore, make the MSavage latex template part of the tests in the github workflow. Remove babel support from the MSavage latex template, otherwise latex will complain about missing languages (alternatively, we could add the languages directory from the dnd class to pyproject.toml). The latest version of the MSavage latex template adds automatic text scaling so that text fields no longer overflow with longer inputs. This fixes canismarko#92
The MSavage latex template was compiled using xelatex. To make this work, an additional setting had to be used for dvipdfmx.cfg (-dNOSAFER), which represents a (slight) security risk. Furthermore, xelatex is very slow. This patch switches to lualatex instead. It has different dependencies, the most important one being the presence of luapstrics.lua. As far as I can tell, by now luapstricks.lua should be present on your average system with TexLive. It is on mine, at least, on Slackware-15.0, which is moderately conservative in many respects.
Rename the MSavage latex template to the more generic latex_character_sheet_template.tex. I also renamed associated functions that still had the msavage name in them to more neutral alternatives. This on behalf of Mat Savage himself, who created the Latex 5e Character Sheet Template that we use in dungeonsheets.
This patch adds the makesheets commandline option to build the latex character sheet to the README.
Dungeonsheets now packages the dnd latex template and the dnd latex character sheet template packages as submodules. This greatly eases using the latex code, but it also takes away some opportunities for customisation. This patch checks whether dnd.sty and dndtemplate.sty are already installed in a local latex directory, and if so, adds them to the texinputs path used in the latex subprocess environment.
This is a squashed commit of various changes by Mat Savage to improve upon the github tests. First, this patch updates the Docker file so that it is compatible with lualatex. Furthermore, it adds a test building all dungeonsheets examples in the docker workflow file. And it refactors the python_ci workflow by only testing all examples in python-3.12, to prevent the test runs from taking so long. Finally, it pushes the resulting docker image to the registry after tagging it "latest".
