• Updated documentation of LaTeX calendar date generation.

• Added some missing variables to the debug target.

• Reverted SVG to PDF conversions back to Inkscape, as it seems to do a better job of fonts than rsvg-convert, and the eariler performance issues appears to have been fixed.

• Added missing defaults for various LaTeX options.

• Added first cut at PlantUML rules.

• Added initial rules for generating images from PlantUML source.

• Rewrote script to generate individual lecture dates for LaTeX, so that I don’t need to comment and un-comment different parts of the configuration for each paper.

• Added NOSYNC variable to support installation without sitecopy synchronisation.

• Removed unnecessary white space.
