This is a repository containing several themes to be used with Asciidoctor PDF. An in-depth theming guide can be found in the Asciidoctor PDF Theming Guide.

Following themes are part of this repository:

• Plain (ld-theme_plain.yml) - a theme with a plain title cover without a background image
• Colored (ld-theme_colored.yml) - a theme with a colored title cover
• Compass (ld-theme_compass.yml) - a theme with a colored compass on its title cover
• Compass-2 (ld-theme_compass-2.yml) - a plain theme with a compass on its title cover
• Braille (ld-theme_braille.yml) - a plain theme with Atkinson Hyperlegible as font and a larger font size

Please note that the themes may include our name, Liberale Demokraten - Die Sozialliberalen, at some parts, e.g. in the footer. But you should change that before you publish anything using these themes. The license of this project as well as the copyright notes below do not permit you to publish any content in the name of the authors or copyright holders unless explicitly permitted after all.

Some sample PDF files (in German) can be found in the below links:

• Sample Plain PDF
• Sample Colored PDF
• Sample Compass PDF
• Sample Compass-2 PDF
• Sample Braille PDF
• Sample Plain Article PDF

NOTE: The images and logos displayed in the linked PDFs may be protected, trademarked or otherwise copyrighted. Therefore, they also aren't covered by the license of this project itself, unless explicitly stated so. See the images folder for more.

• Asciidoctor
• Asciidoctor PDF
• Bash (for pdfconverter.sh)

The installation of the theme is quite straightforward. Just clone this repository locally in a folder or download it as ZIP and unzip it. That's it. However, the above requirements should also be met for the theme to be used.

Simply install asciidoctor and asciidoctor-pdf with your distribution's package manager (e.g. apt-get). Should that not work for you, install ruby and call gem install asciidoctor and gem install asciidoctor-pdf in the shell.

For Windows users, this might be a bit trickier. Here, you can start by installing the RubyInstaller and then run gem install asciidoctor and gem install asciidoctor-pdf in the shell (e.g. PowerShell). To run the pdfconverter.sh script, you may need to install Cygwin. Alternatively, use a Linux distribution on your Windows machine using WSL, e.g. Debian for WSL and proceed as described above for Linux users.

The classic usage (without pdfconverter.sh) is pretty straightforward as it is. Just call the following on your shell:

$ asciidoctor-pdf -a pdf-theme=ld-theme_plain.yml -a pdf-fontsdir=fonts/ document.adoc

The output will be document.pdf in the same direcotry.

However, with the pdfconverter.sh script, the usage is slightly easier:

$ bash pdfconverter.sh document.adoc

The above line equals to the same as the first example. With the script however, you can also easily specify which theme to use with the script:

Usage: bash pdfconverter.sh document.adoc [options]

options:
  -b | --braille
    Use the more accessible (braille) theme

  -c | --colored
    Use the colored theme

  --compass
    Use the compass theme

  -f=document.adoc | --filename=document.adoc
    convert the file 'document.adoc'

  -h | --help
    show usage (in German) and exit

  -v | --version
    show versioning information (in German) and exit

NOTE: The plain theme is set as the default theme. You can however also add a '-p' for it if you wish so.
CAUTION: The latest option may overwrite previously entered ones.

The themes are to be used to generate PDFs from AsciiDoc files. AsciiDoc files are just plaintext files written with the AsciiDoc syntax, slightly similar to but not the same as markdown. The sample .adoc files within this repository are written in AsciiDoc. You may find further information within the AsciiDoc Quick Reference.

The themes, documents and the shell script were written by Kasim Dönmez on behalf of the Liberale Demokraten - Die Sozialliberalen.
