alexandria, the document repository
This is where documents and their derivations are stored. The source code of
the document and its corresponding package.nix are placed in the same place.
There are two ways to organize documents. You can directly place the document in by-name, suitable for documents not assorted with a particular course and various miscellany.
For documents related to specific courses, it is preferable to create a directory for that course in by-course, and then nesting the document directory within the course directory. This will create a nested structure for the packages as well.
For example, the following path:
by-name/my-document
will result in a package set containing my-document.
The path
by-course/phil-1/paper-1
results in a nested package set containing phil-1.paper-1. That means that
you can build that document with the command
nix build .#phil-1.paper-1
It's evident that this organization structure could be useful for organizing by some topics other than courses, so the naming may change in the future.
