\section{Advanced}\label{advanced}
\subsection{Changing Fonts}\label{changing-fonts}
It is possible to change fonts by editing
\texttt{templates/pandoc.yaml}, and
\texttt{templates\textbackslash{}styles.css}, but you will have to make
sure you have the proper font's installed on your system first.
\subsection{Adding Filters}\label{adding-filters}
Custom filters can be created. This is complicated and typically needs
done in 3 places for:
\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
obsidian
\item
\emph{LaTeX}
\item
HTML
\end{itemize}

\begin{cautionbox}[About conf]
NEVER: edit file directly in \texttt{conf}. They will be overwritten by
the build process. \#\#\# Metadata
\end{cautionbox}
Update the \texttt{metadata.yaml} file to globally configure your
document title and other metadata. Edit this file to control your
document title, author, etc.
\subsection{Pandoc Main Config}\label{pandoc-main-config}
Update the \texttt{input-files:} section of
\texttt{templates/pandoc.yaml} to control what chapter source files are
in which order in your document.
\begin{verbatim}
# pandoc.yaml
input-files:
# - chapters/Preface.md
- chapters/00_Introduction.md
- chapters/01_Getting_Started.md
- chapters/02_Usage.md
- chapters/03_Features.md
- chapters/Appendix.md
- chapters/AppendixA.md
# - chapters/AppendixB.md
- chapters/Glossary.md
- chapters/Index.md
- chapters/Bibliography.md
\end{verbatim}
\section{Build Workflow}\label{build-workflow}
For a PDF Build:
\begin{verbatim}
make pdf
\end{verbatim}
will build dependencies on these file:
\begin{enumerate}
\def\labelenumi{\arabic{enumi}.}
\tightlist
\item
Makefile
\item
conf/pandoc.yaml
\item
conf/pdf.yaml
\item
lib/zotero.bib
\item
chapters/*.md
\end{enumerate}
NOTE: the \texttt{Makefile} will copy \texttt{templates/*.yaml} to
\texttt{conf/*.yaml}. \textbf{Never} edit \texttt{conf/*}directly.

\textbf{AST (Abstract Syntax Tree)} & Pandoc's internal structured
representation of a document. Lua filters operate on the AST before
rendering to a target format. \\
\textbf{Bibliography} & A \texttt{.bib} file (e.g., Zotero export) used
by Pandoc with \texttt{citeproc} to generate formatted citations and
reference lists. \\
\textbf{Callout} & A styled block (e.g., \texttt{{[}!warning{]}})
transformed by Lua filters into format-specific output such as LaTeX
environments or HTML \texttt{\textless{}div\textgreater{}} elements. \\
\textbf{Defaults File (YAML)} & A Pandoc configuration file defining
output format, filters, metadata, and rendering options (e.g.,
\texttt{pdf.yaml}, \texttt{html.yaml}). \\
\textbf{DOCX} & Microsoft Word document format generated by Pandoc;
styling is controlled via a \texttt{reference.docx} file. \\
\textbf{Filter (Lua)} & A script that modifies Pandoc's AST before
rendering. Used in this workflow for callouts and other structural
transformations. \\
\textbf{Frontmatter} & Format-specific content inserted before the main
body (e.g., \texttt{frontmatter.tex}, \texttt{frontmatter.html},
\texttt{frontmatter-docx.md}). \\
\textbf{HTML} & Web output format generated by Pandoc, typically styled
via CSS and supporting interactive features. \\
\textbf{LaTeX} & Typesetting system used for high-quality PDF generation
via XeLaTeX in this workflow. \\
\textbf{Lua Filter} & A lightweight scripting extension used by Pandoc
to customize document transformations programmatically. \\
\textbf{Makefile} & Automation script orchestrating the build pipeline
for PDF, HTML, DOCX, ODT, and Markdown outputs. \\
\textbf{Markdown} & Plain-text markup language serving as the source
format for all outputs in the workflow. \\
\textbf{Metadata} & Key--value pairs (e.g., \texttt{metadata.yaml})
defining title, author, license, version, and other document
variables. \\
\textbf{ODT} & OpenDocument Text format used by LibreOffice; similar to
DOCX but open-standard. \\
\textbf{Pandoc} & Universal document converter used to transform
Markdown into PDF, HTML, DOCX, ODT, EPUB, and more. \\
\textbf{PDF} & Portable Document Format output produced via Pandoc +
XeLaTeX. \\
\textbf{Reference Document} & A DOCX or ODT file defining styles (fonts,
headings, spacing) used when generating Word/LibreOffice outputs. \\
\textbf{Resource Path} & Directories Pandoc searches for images,
diagrams, and other assets during rendering. \\
\textbf{Template} & A format-specific layout file (e.g., LaTeX template)
used to control document structure beyond styling. \\
\textbf{TOC (Table of Contents)} & Automatically generated navigation
structure controlled by \texttt{toc} and \texttt{toc-depth} options. \\
\textbf{XeLaTeX} & LaTeX engine used to generate PDFs with modern font
support (via \texttt{fontspec}). \\
\textbf{Zotero} & Reference manager used to generate \texttt{.bib} files
for citation processing with Pandoc. \\
