Welcome to c13n, the newsletter of Computerization.
We create and share tutorials and insights on computer science and technology. We are a passionate high school student club dedicated to advancing informatization systems at the Shanghai World Foreign Language Academy.
The architecture of this project consists of two parts:
- Web: The website of c13n.club is built with Astro, with the site generated from static markdown files under
/src. - TeX: The TeX version (namely PDF compilations) are generated from the Markdown files mainly using utilities under
/typeset. The compilation can be automated usingmake.pyand is now ready on GitHub actions.
We use pnpm as c13n's package manager. Please avoid the usage of npm command.

The Python script make.py reads Markdown files under /src and compiles them to TeX, and then PDF, placed under /public. During the process a /.tmp directory will be created and utilities under /typeset will be called.
Currently, two make modes are implemented:
make.py post: this compiles each post individually and generates TeX and PDF versions for viewers to download.make.py batch: separate posts are compiled to batches of 5 that will serve as the final product of our newsletters.
The two commands will be automatically executed on commit by the GitHub Action bot. For more details of the limited support on Markdown syntax and file formats, see this documentation.
