Union_Docs

Repository tracking changes to Rensselaer Union documents.

Environment setup

Create the Conda environment from environment.yml:

conda env create -f environment.yml

Activate it:

conda activate union-docs

Building Typst PDFs

Rendered PDFs are generated beside each document's main.typ and companion text files, using the *.typeset.pdf suffix so they stay distinct from the archival source PDFs.

Build every Typst document:

make pdfs

Build a single Typst document:

make pdf TARGET="Union_Constitution/2026-02-06/main.typ"

You can also call the script directly:

./scripts/build-pdfs.sh
./scripts/build-pdfs.sh "Student_Senate_Bylaws/2025-09-23/main.typ"

This requires typst to be installed and available on your PATH. The build script automatically loads the repository's Font_Assets directory with --font-path, so Typst documents can use the RPIGeist and RPIGeist Mono families directly.

Building LaTeX PDFs

LaTeX-generated PDFs are written beside each main.tex source using the *.latex.pdf suffix so they do not overwrite the Typst-generated files.

Build every LaTeX document:

make latex-pdfs

Build a single LaTeX document:

make latex-pdf TARGET="Executive_Board_Bylaws/2026-02-24/main.tex"

You can also call the script directly:

./scripts/build-latex-pdfs.sh
./scripts/build-latex-pdfs.sh "Executive_Board_Bylaws/2026-02-24/main.tex"

This requires lualatex to be installed and available on your PATH. The current LaTeX setup also expects --shell-escape support because the Executive Board document uses an SVG asset on its cover page. The Conda environment installs texlive-core, which provides the LuaLaTeX toolchain used by scripts/build-latex-pdfs.sh. If your environment provides luahbtex but not lualatex.fmt, install a full TeX distribution (for example MacTeX) so the LuaLaTeX format files are available.

Shared Style Presets

Typst documents can import styles/typst/union-style.typ and choose one of three presets:

editorial: white canvas, red title treatment, black body copy
signal: red hero band with white title text for high-emphasis documents
brief: black-forward headings with red secondary accents

Future LaTeX documents can use styles/latex/union-doc.sty with the same brand palette:

\usepackage{styles/latex/union-doc}
\UnionUsePreset{editorial}
