# PyTeX Some hacky python scripts to simplify my LaTeX package writing. ## Usage Write packages in `.pytex` format. The `PackageFormatter` class will then - given author and name of the package - read in and format the file to produce a ready to use LaTeX package `.sty` file. As an example, see the [LatexPackages](https://github.com/kesslermaximilian/LatexPackages) repository where this is used. ## Macros Here is a (possibly incomplete) list of the PyTeX macros currently supported. The examples assume that we create a package called `example.sty`, written by myself: | macro name | explanation | example | ---|---|--- `__HEADER__(< package description>)` | inserts package header, including license and LaTeX package header | `\NeedsTexFormat{LaTeX2e}`
`\ProvidesPackage{mkessler-example}[2021/10/07 - ]` `__PACKAGE_NAME__` | inserts package name | `mkessler-example` `__PACKAGE_PREFIX__` | inserts package prefix | `mkessler@example@` `__PACKAGE_MACRO__()`| declares internal package macro | `\mkessler@example@` `__FILE_NAME__`| inserts package file name | `mkessler-example.sty` `__AUTHOR__`| inserts package author | `Maximilian Keßler` `__DATE__`| inserts compilation date in format `%Y/%m/%d` | `2021/10/07` `__NEW_IF__(,)`| declares a new LaTeX if | `\ifmkessler@example@\mkessler@example@` `__SET_IF__(,)`| sets the value of a LaTeX if | `\mkessler@example@` `__IF__()`| starts conditional | `\ifmkessler@example@` `__LANGUAGE_OPTIONS__`| inserts default language options | `\newif\mkessler@example@english\mkessler@example@englishtrue`
`\DeclareOption{german}{\mkessler@example@englishfalse}`
`\DeclareOption{ngerman}{\mkessler@example@englishfalse}`
`\DeclareOption{english}{\mkessler@example@englishtrue}` `__LANGUAGE_OPTIONS_X__`| inserts default language options with `xkeyval` | `\newif\mkessler@example@english\mkessler@example@englishtrue`
`\DeclareOptionX{german}{\mkessler@example@englishfalse}`
`\DeclareOptionX{ngerman}{\mkessler@example@englishfalse}`
`\DeclareOptionX{english}{\mkessler@example@englishtrue}` `__END_OPTIONS__`| process options and handle wrong options | `\DeclareOption*{\PackageWarning{mkessler-example}{Unknown '\CurrentOption'}`
`\ProcessOptions\relax` `__END_OPTIONS_X__`| process options with `xkeyval` | `\DeclareOptionX*{\PackageWarning{mkessler-example}{Unknown '\CurrentOption'}`
`\ProcessOptionsX\relax` `__ERROR__()` | output package error | `\PackageError{mkessler-example}{}` `__WARNING__()`| output package warning | `\PackageWarning{mkessler-example}{}` `__INFO__()`| output package info | `\PackageInfo{mkessler-example}{}`
