Sources for several books and booklets, ready-to-compile with the SILE typesetting system.
These are books I have typeset with SILE, using my re·sil·ient collection of classes & packages. Most of them have a dedicated README file, with more details about the content and the process of typesetting, and a link to the published version.
I also use these works to check that re·sil·ient is working as expected; and to test new features and to ensure the non-regression of these classes and packages when I update them.

This section is for those who want to generate the PDFs themselves, or contribute to the sources.
See further down for a Docker image, if you prefer to be quickly bootstrapped without installing anything on your host system.
Otherwise, you need to have the following tools installed. You are on your own checking that you have the right versions of the dependencies and a proper working installation:
-
SILE 0.15.5 or upper
See installation instructions on the SILE website.
-
See installation instructions on the LuaRocks website.
-
The re·sil·ient collection of classes & packages for SILE, a.k.a. resilient.sile.
luarocks install resilient.sile
Be sure to upgrade to the latest version (minimaly to 2.4 for best results).
-
Decent choice of fonts: Libertinus, EB Garamond, Zallman Caps, Lato.
For any book in the repository, you can generate a PDF with the following command, run from the base folder of this repository:
sile -u inputters.silm book/book.silmWhere book/book.silm is to be replaced by the path to the relevant document master file.
If you have Docker installed, you can use the provided Docker file to build an image containing SILE, Luarocks, the re·sil·ient collection, other tools used by some of the modules, and a curated set of good fonts.
Everything is then ready for you to get quickly bootstrapped.
From the base folder of this repository, build an image:
docker build --progress plain . -f build/Dockerfile -t silexThen create an alias, say resilient, to run the image:
alias resilient='docker run -it --volume "$(pwd):/data" --user "$(id -u):$(id -g)" silex'And use it instead of sile:
resilient -u inputters.silm book/book.silmBe sure to rebuild the image from time to time, so that it is updated with the latest versions of the tools. This is assuming you know the basics of Docker, of course.
If you like this repository, please also star ⭐ resilient.sile, markdown.sile and obviously SILE too.
You are of course welcome to report corrections or propose emendations and additions to the books. The best preferred is to post an "issue" on the project repository here.
For more advanced readers who do know what it means: proposing a PR is even possible and appreciated, but be sure to fist discuss it in an issue before submitting anything.
Moreover, if you made books with the re·sil·ient collection, and want to share them under the same umbrella, please get in touch with an issue. We can certainly arrange to add them here, with proper credits and licensing.
The books have varying licenses and some are used by courtesy of the authors.
Please check their respective license or ask, in case of doubts, for details and exact licensing terms.
By default, assume CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 at best. The intent is that you can study the sources, and build them to produce your own PDF versions, but not use the latter without attribution and in commercial ways.
