LaTeX, Memoir and Bookbinding

LaTeX and Learning
******************
From a learning perspective, I'm a bit challenged. I'll sit through tutorials for a while but if I don't see a practical application to some instruction, the ability to retain the information learned suffers.
For example: one of the key abilities of LaTeX is to insert math formulae into the body of a text. For mathematicians and math students and math hobbyists and - I'm sure - a whole slew of other folk: crucial information.
But I discovered LaTeX (pronounced "Lah-Tek") has an elegant book-making solution, far superior to Word or any of the booklet apps one can find and pay for. So, I got stuck into learning how to use a very powerful book-publishing template called "Memoir". Again, the youtubers put a lot of effort into supporting the maths folk and only gave a glancing nod to the novelists.
Still, there's a lot of crucial stuff in those videos. So, one of the next workflows to fleshing out these "HelpYrself" pages is taking dictation from the videos.

Book Binding
************
==========
Signatures
==========
Number of pages to a signature: 4. Here's the `video to watch `_ to get clear on the kettle-stitch technique.
======================
Print-ready Signatures
======================
From StackExchange, `Dingo writes `_:
Folding together 8 pages at once for binding in center of any group, means put 4 sheets containing 2 pages for any side (front / back) so to have a particular printing order
The first thing we need to know is the total number of pages needed as an integer multiple of the number of signatures we have chosen (8 in our case) ot the last signature will be not one in-octavo and this can cause problems in binding
So, instead of 500 pages we need 504 pages (504/8 is 63 signatures; each composed by 8 pages) that will be juxtaposed at 2 by two like in your diagram:
.. image:: ../images/tex16pg_Sig.png
Now, the imposition order for 504 pages that you want fold in files of 8 pages, will be:
=== === === === === === === ===
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
=== === === === === === === ===
8 1 2 7 6 3 4 5
16 9 10 15 14 11 12 13

You don't need to manually add the convenient number of pages to your multipage PDF file in order to have an integer multiple of signatures you've chosen, you can automatically calculate and perform imposition with:
`Multivalent.jar `_ (latest freeware version with tools inside)
Example CLI::
java -cp /path...to/Multivalent.jar tool.pdf.Impose -dim 2x1 -paper 29.7x21cm -layout "8,1,2,7,6,3,4,5" file.pdf
The -paper switch is settled to 29.7x21cm assuming your page has size A5, you can easily change this value according your needs, by doubling the width of your page
For different folding you only need to write once the beginning of the imposition sequence that Multivalent will take as a model for other groups of pages. So, for folding 16 pages, you'll write::
java -cp /path...to/Multivalent.jar tool.pdf.Impose -dim 2x1 -paper 29.7x21cm -layout "16,1,2,15,14,3,4,13,12,5,6,11,10,7,8,9" file.pdf

LaTeX Tips - How-Tos
********************
LaTeX is pronounced Lah-Tek. Currently working on converting the devotional pages to PDF and then, to a book, using the Memoir template.
==================
Forced page-breaks
==================
To force a pagebreak::
\pagebreak
===================
Hyperlinks in LaTeX
===================
Add the hyperref package to your preamble::
\usepackage[colorlinks = true,
linkcolor = blue,
urlcolor = blue,
citecolor = blue,
anchorcolor = blue]{hyperref}
Then::
Links will show up in a colored box which will be invisible when you print it.
Use \href{URL}{DESCRIPTION} to add a link with description.
Use \url{URL} to add a link without a description.
===================
Dot-points in LaTeX
===================
Uses the package::
\usepackage{enumitem}
and then, optionally numbers, letters or character::
\begin{document}
Some text goes here.
\begin{itemize}
\item This is top level item with a certain bullet.
\begin{itemize}
\item Line with a 'sub bullet'.
\item Another line with a 'sub bullet'.
\end{itemize}
\item Back to main bullet list.
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
And that's the name of *that* tune.
=============
Insert images
=============
Have the graphicx package installed
\usepackage{graphicx}
and for a centred image::
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=50mm]{./images/Flourish02.png}
\end{center}
...centers an image of a flourish on a page.
==================
No chapter numbers
==================
The proper memoir way of doing this::
\addtopsmarks{headings}{}{
\createmark{chapter}{left}{nonumber}{}{}
}
\pagestyle{headings} % activate changes
There is no need to try to figure out how the internals work or that sort of thing.
You might want `to read this `_.
================================
Memoir: No Paragraph Indentation
================================
From `StackExchange (247135) `_: how to do this is described in Section 8.1.1 of the manual (memman) for memoir by setting \parindent to 0em. This can be done by, for example, perhaps::
\setlength{\parindent}{0em}
The manual also suggests setting \parskip to a positive length to give some vertical space between paragraphs. However, consider what happens when a non-indented paragraph ends at a page break and the last line is full. The following non-indented paragraph will start at the top of the next page; the reader will assume that the two paragraphs are actually just one. In general, typographers dislike this style of paragraphing except when they can have manual control of the layout of each page.
===============
Macro-Expansion
===============
Not sure if this is even the correct termminology for this process, but what I was hoping to accomplish was to lump multiple commands (any commands preceeded by a "\\") into one command. Easier said than done. Tried the::
\newcommand{\commandname}{\thecommands\torun}
approach first, but reading on TeX.StackExchange site revealed that \\newcommand can quite frequently spit the dummy. And then I found \\def. Or, for really complex commands::
\long\def\nameofcommand{
\groupsof
\ltxcommands
}
which works a treat. for example, this paints a flourish on the bottom of a page, and issues a pagebreak::
\long\def\imgnp{
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=.6]{Flourish02.png}
\end{center}
\pagebreak
}
Note, *it's not a perfectly painless approach: LaTeX expects numbers at certain places and won't accept anything else. For example, what would normally execute on the docuemtn itself*::
\includegraphics[scale=50mm]{./images/Flourish02.png}
*i.e., "scale=50mm" had to be translates to a float*.
Still this works well, overall. Next thing to lean is how to pass this UDF parameters. Spent literally hours just to nut this wee bit out, but I want to do parameters next.
