Livedoc What does it do: - In your currently opened document, it finds the page corresponding to your current cursor location. - It builds your document, and plumbs the location to the "image" channel (optional). - Repeats every N seconds. Requirements needed to use this program: - Your document directory needs a proper mkfile. - The mkfile needs a rule named "tout" that outputs troff intermediate language output. - Your edited documents needs to be directly inside the that directory, not within a subdirectory. Under the hood: - It creates a memory copy of the whole directory using dircp(1) - It copies the buffer contents of your open file to the cloned file in memory - It places a specific symbol (default: center dot "·") at the cursor location - It scans the troff output to find that symbol, figuring out the page - It builds the pdf using mk - It copies the pdf to the /tmp directory and plumbs it, using the page number Arguments: - '-h': Print usage, then quit - '-p': Do not plumb, print plumbable string instead - '-q': Do not loop. Will run only once, then quit - '-t N': Sleep for N milliseconds (default: N=5000) - 'm M': Use M instead of center dot (·)
