phystool 3.3.1

Exercise database manager for LaTeX files

Phystool

This package is there to help managing physics lecture notes, exercises, tests... It is based on four complementary elements:

1. phystool: Manages a database of LaTeX documents with additional metadata
2. physnoob: Provides some the of phystool's functionalities in a GUI
3. physvim: [optional] Implements vim commands to interact with phystool
4. phystex: [optional] LaTeX classes and packages that are compatible with phystool

Among other things, phystool provides:

• a clean way to compile LaTeX documents without cluttering your directories
• a neat and user-friendly log LaTeX compilation messages
• an automatic LaTeX recompilation when/if required

Physnoob

Physvim

Defines a set of commands that allows vim to interact with phystool. Simply add the following line in your ~/.vimrc file and update Vundle:

Plugin 'https://bitbucket.org/jdufour/physvim.git'

Phystex

The LaTeX classes and packages can be fully customised as long as the ~/.phystool/phystool.conf is correctly set. To get started, it is possible to use the classes and packages available in:

git clone [e-mail]:jdufour/phystex.git
