jrsmith3 / cookiecutter-latex-article Goto Github PK

When a target directory is created from this template, it should be initialized as a git repository:

• git init
• git add
• git commit

It would be great if the commit hash of this template repo (i.e. https://github.com/jrsmith3/cookiecutter-latex-article/) from which the target directory was created (cf. #12) as well as the URL to this template repo was included in the commit message of the first commit.

The automatic build tool should have an option to print statistics like word count.

SCons is better, if less ubiquitous.

Most LaTeX documents include a BibTeX file to manage references. In order to maintain generality, I think I should implement this feature as a post-build hook. The BibTeX file should come in as a submodule and the .bib file itself should be a symlink pointing to the .bib file in the submodule.

When a local repo is created from this template, the URL of the remote should be included in the resulting target.

The main.tex file from my current LaTeX template repo should be merged into this repo. I will pull out only the commits pertaining to main.tex from that repo and nothing else.

The README.md file should include some instructions and example code on how to create a project repo from this template.

The template in this repo should be a valid cookiecutter template.

Specifically:

* [ ] hooks/post_gen_project.py

• {{cookiecutter.repo_name}}/SConstruct

This issue is to simply implement an auto build tool like paver or gnu make that builds the LaTeX document. Building should include the following features:

• Build products go into a build subdirectory that's ignored by git.
• Default builds are in PDF.
• Built documents include BibTeX bibliographies.

It seems like good practice to include a link back to this cookiecutter template repo in a target project. First, there should be a post creation hook that initializes the target as a git repo. Then the post-creation hook should add and commit everything. The hash of the commit from this repo which was used to create the target repo should be included in the commit message.

The git commit hash should be embedded in the PDF which is built using the build tool.

A LaTeX project repo built from the cookiecutter template should include a README.md file.

Using SCons, there should be a "display" task to execute the build and display the result in the default PDF viewer.

This issue depends on #15.

This issue is comparable to an issue in latex_scons.

The README.md file in the template should include instructions on how to build the LaTeX document from source.

The automatic build tool should be able to create output in ODF.

The .gitignore should come from the github/gitignore repo.

git remote add gitignore [email protected]:github/gitignore.git
git fetch gitignore
git merge gitignore -- TeX.gitignore
