Initialize a latex project in the current folder

Usage: itex <options> template -i --info get template info -l --list output a list of templates -s --disable-os-search prevent itex from searching the os for the templates folder -o --output <path> output template to given folder <path> -u --update update the itex-templates folder

available templates: - default (just the basics with an out folder and a Makefile) - iSci - apa - Electron (My own template)

Install on MacOS

ITex isn't on homebrew's default taps so you need to add my tap then install ITex: brew tap oneelectron/oneelectron brew install itex -s

Install on Windows

ITex doesn't have a windows installer yet, so the recommended way is to use cargo to install itex, then use itex to install it's template folder. Install rust then: cargo install itex itex --update

Making new templates

To make a new template make a folder where the name of the folder is the template name as this is what ITex uses.

A itex-info.json is also required with a name, id, and description: json { "name": "Name here", "description": "Description here", "files": [ "Place all file names here except for itex-info.json like so:", "main.tex", "Makefile" ], "id": 0 // This will be filled in by a maintainer }

On top of this a Makefile is required. The standard Makefile looks like this: ```Makefile NAME = main

pdf: @pdflatex -no-shell-escape -output-directory ./out/ $(NAME).tex @if [ -a ./out/main.aux ]; then rm ./out/$(NAME).aux; fi; @if [ -a ./out/main.out ]; then rm ./out/$(NAME).out; fi; @if [ -a ./out/main.log ]; then rm ./out/$(NAME).log; fi; @if [ -a ./out/main.bcf ]; then rm ./out/$(NAME).bcf; fi; @if [ -a ./out/main.toc ]; then rm ./out/$(NAME).toc; fi; @if [ -a ./out/texput.log ]; then rm ./out/texput.log; fi; @if [ -a ./out/main.run.xml ]; then rm ./out/main.run.xml; fi;

count: @texcount $(NAME).tex

clean: @if [ -a ./out/main.aux ]; then rm ./out/$(NAME).aux; fi; @if [ -a ./out/main.out ]; then rm ./out/$(NAME).out; fi; @if [ -a ./out/main.log ]; then rm ./out/$(NAME).log; fi; @if [ -a ./out/main.bcf ]; then rm ./out/$(NAME).bcf; fi; @if [ -a ./out/main.toc ]; then rm ./out/$(NAME).toc; fi; @if [ -a ./out/texput.log ]; then rm ./out/texput.log; fi; @if [ -a ./out/main.run.xml ]; then rm ./out/main.run.xml; fi;

debug: pdflatex -no-shell-escape -output-directory ./out/ main.tex

```
