phystool 4.2.0

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
