Thanks so much for doing this, and sorry for the delay. Since there's been no objections for a week, I'll merge right away.

@agnivade I wonder if we could run the pdf-generating script automatically, the same way the zip archive is automatically generated and pushed to this repo for every merged PR on the tldr-pages repo. Thoughts?

Agree. Should be doable. Will take a look.

Hey @maxbeier - How did you install the Consolas font ?

! fontspec error: "font-not-found"
! 
! The font "Consolas" cannot be found.

I am using Ubuntu, and do not see any automated way to achieve it.

@agnivade Consolas is a proprietary font. Inconsolata, on the other hand, is an openly-licensed font inspired by Consolas, so it would probably be the best choice in our case.

Oh, good point, sorry 😅. It should be Inconsolata then. I created a PR for that: tldr-pages/tldr#1303

Ok, I am stuck in another issue now -

pandoc: Error producing PDF from TeX source.
! Font \XeTeXLink@font=pzdr at 0.00002pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file or ins
talled font not found.
<to be read again> 
 \relax 
l.5125 \font\XeTeXLink@font=pzdr at 1sp\relax

@maxbeier - Any idea as to whats going on here ?

I don't really know, but looks like something named "pzdr" is missing. Found this on StackExchange which recommends to install "zapfding". Searching my command line history I found that I installed more packages and than it worked 😬

So maybe try this:

tlmgr install zapfding
tlmgr install collection-latexrecommended
tlmgr install cm-super
tlmgr install psyr
tlmgr install ec

Sorry, but I am a n00b in latex. I am stuck with yet another error about which I have no clue -

pandoc: Error producing PDF from TeX source.
! Illegal parameter number in definition of \lst@next.
<to be read again> 
 }
l.2633 \lstinline#c

There is only one block of lst. Even after commenting that out, it gives the same error.

Sorry, I don't know what that is. If I change generate-pdf.sh to output a .tex file there is no \lstinline in there. Can you attach your .tex file here?

Wait, I must be doing something wrong. I am just doing ./generate-pdf.sh. The tex file is the template.tex itself right ? Am I supposed to be doing something else ?

If its not a problem with you, lets hop on to gitter and continue this there ? To prevent this thread from overflowing.

Ohh, because of the l.2633 I thought is must be in the intermediate tex code that pandoc creates. But you're right – I wrote you on gitter, it might go faster there.
