The Cloud Foundry Docs are written in MultiMarkdown (MMD). If you want to install the MultiMarkdown tools, you can read about that here: MultiMarkdown
To create a PDF from a MMD document you need both MultiMarkdown and LaTeX on your system. You can read about how to do this here: LaTeX Home Page
If you are on a Mac, It is recommended that you install MultiMarkdown Composer from the Apple App Store, but any text editor will do.
You can create a nicely formatted PDF like this…
-
Download John Fletcher's MMD Latex Support files here
-
Install them here
~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/mmd
or on Unix here:~/texmf/tex/latex/mmd
-
Edit the mmd-article-begin-doc.tex file with:
\begin{document} \title{\mytitle} \author{© \myauthor} \date{\relax}%TeX note: relax: null
-
At the top of your MMD document, create metadata such as:
latex input: mmd-article-header Title: Cloud Foundry Technical Overview Author: VMware 2012 - Cloud Foundry Base Header Level: 2 LaTeX Mode: memoir latex input: mmd-article-begin-doc latex footer: mmd-memoir-footer
-
You can create a PDF from Markdown using the instructions on John Fletcher's site - or you can use MultiMarkdown Composer to Export to LaTeX, and then generate a PDF from there.
