Homework Note Packaging
Package selected Obsidian notes into a watermarked PDF.
Fixed Paths
- Vault root:
D:\PROJECTS\MoMoJeeObsidian\MoMoJeeOsidian
- Excalidraw folder:
D:\PROJECTS\MoMoJeeObsidian\MoMoJeeOsidian\Excalidraw
- Exporter script:
D:\PROJECTS\ExcalidrawExporter\export.js
- Default watermark:
叶哲昊 24012561
- Compiler: XeLaTeX
Required Inputs
Confirm these before starting if missing:
- Note directory containing the selected Markdown files.
- File list, such as
例 3.1.3, 习题 3.1.2, or 本章习题 3.1.
- Output directory.
- PDF file name.
- Optional watermark text and chapter title.
Workflow
- Read only the explicitly selected Markdown notes.
- Extract embedded Excalidraw links such as
![[Drawing ...excalidraw]].
- Build a mapping: Markdown note -> Excalidraw file -> PNG output path.
- Export with
node D:\PROJECTS\ExcalidrawExporter\export.js using paired input syntax source.excalidraw.md=output.png and -v set to the vault root.
- If more than 10 drawings are involved, split export into batches.
- Generate a XeLaTeX file in the output directory with foreground watermark using
\AddToShipoutPictureFG.
- Compile with XeLaTeX. If the target PDF is locked, use a new job name.
- Report exported PNG files, PDF path, page count if available, and failures.
Constraints
- Do not scan the whole vault; process only the user-selected notes.
- Do not modify source Markdown notes or Excalidraw files.
- Keep generated PNG,
.tex, auxiliary files, and PDF inside the selected output directory.
- Use UTF-8-safe file creation/editing for
.tex content.
