Scapple Manual sample project fail to compile: generate_user_manual.rb missing

[MarcoAbreu]

Sounds like you got it compiled correctly. There is in fact only one binary with MultiMarkdown. If you open up the other “mm2tex” etc. files in a text editor you’ll see they are just shell wrappers. So to install a build from source, simply replace the old /usr/local/bin/multimarkdown with the compiled binary. The helper scripts will use the new binary.

Shell wrappers, of course! I ran a couple of them yesterday with the help flag, saw exactly the same message generated by the multimarkdown binary and concluded incorrectly they were binary wrappers . See, not my specialty.

Back to your generate_user_manual.rb script, I see that one of its functions is:

This will catch any of symbols that get missed by Replacements; edit both to revise

Some of the symbols listed are in the compilation Replacements and others, like the arrow symbols, are not. Is it possible that Replacements misses?

I have another question about MutiMarkdown and Pandoc, but is way more generic and so I decided to make a new post here.
