CustomTeX v0.1.2

A CLI utility for setting up LaTeX projects

CustomTeX is a command line utility for setting up LaTeX projects based on some predefined styles for titles, section headers, theorems, etc.

For the moment, the utility is intended for a personal use, since there aren't many options for customization. However, we aim to design a more general system for creating LaTeX projects based on dynamic and fully customizable templates.

Installation

CustomTeX is a Python library and can be installed using pip:

pip install customtex

No additional dependencies are required.

Usage

To generate the main files of a LaTeX project with CustomTeX, you have to run the customtex command followed by the path, main file name and language options and the init or the template subcommand. For example:

customtex --path /path/to/directory --name main --lang english init [options]

This will create a LaTeX project with the following structure in the path/to/directory directory:

/path/to/directory
├── main.tex
└── tex
    ├── macros.tex
    └── preamble.tex

The init subcommand

The init subcommand creates a project based on the options that the utility provides. Run customtex init --help to see the available options.

The template subcommand

The template subcommand creates a project based on a template. A template consist of a list of options from the init subcommand that are run when invoking the template option followed by the name of the template.

Run customtex template --help to see the available templates.
