Example

A full example with the resulting PDF file is accessible in the example folder.

1. Start by creating a base Document

   ```rust const DOCUMENTNAME: &str = "generatedtex/main.tex"; const DOCUMENTCLASS: ClassType = ClassType::Report; const FONTSIZE: &str = "12pt";

   let docfile: File = File::create(DOCUMENTNAME).unwrap();

   let docclass: DocumentClass = DocumentClass::new( DOCUMENTCLASS, vec![FONT_SIZE] );

   let mut doc: Document = Document::new(docfile, docclass); ```

2. Add some Packages

   ```rust let packages = vec![ Package::new( "babel", vec!["english"] ), Package::new( "geometry", vec!["margin=2.5cm"] ), Package::new( "fontenc", vec!["T1"] ) ];

   doc.add_packages(packages); ```

3. Add some global Commands

   ```rust let commands = vec![ Command::new(r"\title{Title}"), Command::new(r"\author{Author}"), Command::new(r"\date{YYYY / MM / DD}"), Command::new(r"\setlength{\tabcolsep}{18pt}") ];

   doc.addglobalcommands(commands); ```

4. Then you can add different Items

   • Any Item can be added to a Document
   • Any Item can be added to a Container
   • A Container is an Item, so they can be nested

   • Items are displayed by order that they have been added

     ```rust let mut section1: Section = Section::new( "Section", // Section name SectionType::Section, // Section type true, // Display section number "sec1" // Label );

     let paragraph1 = Text::new( "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer congue nisi condimentum lacus vulputate cursus. _Curabitur bibendum orci ac nibh vestibulum ultrices. Aenean pulvinar mattis lectus, sed vehicula leo pellentesque eget. Sed sed quam sit amet nulla lacinia mollis. Maecenas dignissim, augue quis suscipit pellentesque, ipsum turpis facilisis eros, eu aliquam erat massa sit amet ex." );

     section1.additem(paragraph1); doc.additem(section_1); ```
