Building

Unfortunately, the build process is somewhat intricate right now. This should all (at some point) be turned into a Makefile or something similar, but just in case you're feeling adventurous:

1. Compile all the PBM files to vector PDFs using e.g. potrace.
2. Compile the org-mode file to TeX.
3. Compile the TeX file. This may require a bunch of packages; I pretty much just have a TeX Live installation with every package you can imagine.

Style guide

Pronoun gender

Use gender-neutral pronouns where appropriate. For example, when talking about an attacker, use "they", "them", et cetera instead of "he" and "him" or "she" and "her".

When talking about specific people, use the gender pronoun they prefer. Also use gendered pronouns when using placeholder names like Alice, Bob, Carol.
