System Programming Wiki Book Builder

Converts the System Programming wiki markdown files into a single PDF or EPUB book, ordered by the course table of contents.

• Python 3.6+
• Pandoc (tested with 3.6+)
• For PDF output: xelatex (install texlive-xetex and related font packages)

# Generate PDF
python3 build_book.py --pdf

# Generate EPUB
python3 build_book.py --epub

# Generate both
python3 build_book.py --pdf --epub

Output files are written to the current directory as SystemProgramming.pdf and/or SystemProgramming.epub.
