 * gentsv.sh - Generates a TSV file suitable for importing into Mnemosyne.
   Note that you still need to add the definitions (`defs.tex`) for the project
   into the Mnemosyne config.
+* notes_compile.sh <file> - Generates a regular PDF document from the LaTeX file
+  given as an argument, including all the definitions from `defs.tex`. This
+  is useful when some extra information is needed to understand the cards,
+  for instance when each chapter has a set of conventions that apply to the
+  whole chapter and can't be repeated on each card.
