• This template automatically follows GOST to the letter (well, almost, there are minor deviations where GOST is particularly ugly).
• waf magically reruns XeTeX as many times as needed to properly generate the table of contents (yes, XeTeX, just as LaTeX, is stupid and has to be run multiple times).

• Install XeTeX and Pandoc.

• ./waf configure

• while ./waf is not succeeding

  • install missing stuff (see Dependencies)

• while not happy with your text

  • Edit .pd files
  • (sometimes) Edit .latex files
  • (sometimes) Update sources in wscript
  • ./waf

There is a list of required TeX Live packages in shell.nix but in case you could not care less you are always free to just install Tex Live Full.

• The Waf Book
• Always feel free to refer to the real-life example (or a little bit obsolete one).

• Everything starts with main.latex. Edit the first three lines of this file.
• title.latex describes the title page. Edit the university name if needed.
• preamble.latex has boring technical TeX stuff.
• bib.bib is the bibliography. Edit it with KBibTeX or something like that.
• pseudo.latex is the definition of a simple pseudocode programming language. You’ll probably want to extend it and/or define more languages (don’t forget to \input them in preamble.latex).
• wscript describes how to build everything and the sources variable is actually the only interesting thing there.
