Targum Onkelos Booklet Generator

Builds a PDF booklet of Targum Onkelos (Taj / תאג edition) by scraping Hebrew Wikisource.

Example

An example PDF (first parsha only, 6 perakim) is included in this folder:

• onkelos_test.pdf — sample output showing parsha/perek headers and next-perek indicators.

Features

• Running headers: Each page shows the current parsha and perek (e.g. בְּרֵאשִׁית · פֶּרֶק א).
• Next perek indicator: At the end of each perek, the booklet prints the upcoming perek (e.g. הַבָּא: פרק ב).

Setup

cd onkelos_booklet
pip install -r requirements.txt

Fonts: the PDF uses system Hebrew fonts (David, Times New Roman). Optionally add assets/fonts/HADASAH.TTF and uncomment the @font-face in assets/styles.css for a custom font.

Usage

Generate the full booklet (all 54 parshiyot; can take a few minutes):

python booklet_generator.py

Test with only the first parsha:

python booklet_generator.py --limit 1

Custom output path:

python booklet_generator.py -o my_onkelos.pdf
