Currently only has two templates, but more are on the way: - Basic Template : Good for a single file project - Math Template : Good for a math project
You can install via Cargo:
sh
$ cargo install texcreate
There are two ways to create projects, the create & import commands:
- create: Use to quickly create a project supplying name, template and path (optional)
- import: Use a config.toml file to specify configurations to automatically generate when creating a project.
```sh
$ texcreate create -n
$ texcreate import -f config.toml
$ texcreate init ```
```toml [Project] author = "Author" title = "Title" date = "\today" project_name = "Project Name" template = "Math" #Make sure to have first letter upercased
[Document] papersize = "letterpaper" fontsize = 11 #font size number document_class = "article" packages = ["PhantomData", ""] ```
Note: Phantom Data is to show that the first element is not used, other packages after it will be added.
More customizations will come in the future as I figure out more effective ways to create the projects, and get more templates on the way.
The Book template is the template that is used to create MKProject Books, which uses Rust's MDBook engine and a latex book template. This template is only avaiable through using config.toml, however it is a bit more special than the other templates where it will not use Document options (still keep it on the config.toml though).
The Book template creates the following structure:
- book: The html output
- src: The src directory of md files
- tex: The tex directory of tex files
- .gitignore" Specifies which files to ignore when using git
- book.toml: The configuration file for the mdbook
- tex.zip: Dispose if you'd like
Make sure to have the following installed:
- mdbook : cargo install mdbook
- unzip : Should be preinstalled on most systems, verify with unzip --version
