SNode.C Book Project

This project was split from the uploaded master manuscript snode.md.

Heading convention

For Pandoc/XeLaTeX with documentclass: book and --top-level-division=part:

# Part title

## Chapter title

### Section

#### Subsection

##### Subsubsection

Manual chapter numbers were removed from chapter headings in the generated files. LaTeX/Pandoc will number parts, chapters, and sections.

Build

Install Pandoc and a XeLaTeX-capable TeX distribution, then run:

make pdf

This uses book-files.txt, which includes TODO placeholders for planned-but-missing chapters.

To build only chapters present in the uploaded master manuscript:

make pdf-existing

To generate LaTeX only:

make tex

Files

• metadata.yaml — Pandoc metadata for book output.
• book-files.txt — complete planned book order, including TODO placeholders.
• book-files-existing-only.txt — only chapters actually present in the uploaded master.
• STRUCTURE.md — overview of parts and chapter status.
• proposal/book-proposal-package.md — proposal package, not part of the main book build by default.
• chapters/ — one Markdown file per planned chapter.
• parts/ — part divider files.

Missing planned chapters

The uploaded master manuscript did not contain the following planned chapters:

• Chapter 2: Preparing Your Environment
• Chapter 4: Reading the Codebase with Confidence
• Chapter 36: Extending the Framework Safely
• Chapter 37: A Complete Guided Project
• Chapter 38: Where to Go Next

They are present as TODO placeholders so the project structure remains stable.
