Not only *you* know. It is even properly documented. ;-)

But you are right, at some point, we should add a "book.pdf" target to
the top-level Makefile.

I am not sure, but I would bet that xvfb allows to build without X. So
it should work under WSL2. Sorry, that is just a guess.

Cool! So that was on WSL2?

The newbie spirit is good. We need more of this kind.
But since the generation is not important for people that are not
familiar with building things (we provide it on github anyway), I think
it is enough to have the build-instruction on the website (url above).
