went to http://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tlpretest/ and downloaded the file
install-tl-unx.tar.gz to new folder. Then did gunzip on it then tar -xvf on the tar
file. Then cd to the install folder that is created.
Now to do the actual installation it is important to type this command by giving -reposity
option else it will not work, since I have TL 2021 installed and I am trying to install TL
2022. So used this command
sudo ./install-tl -repository http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tlpretest/
Now it will make new folder for TL 2022 and install it there alongside the TL 2021.
This applies to any one using lualatex and encounters the dreaded error
sorry [number of destination names (dest_names_size)=131072]
Which happens due to large document which has many destination names in it.
Notice that changing dest_names_size in texmf.cnf has no effect on the above as lualatex
uses sup_dest_names_size for the limit of destination names and not dest_names_size
which is used it seems by pdflatex only. Thanks to Marcel Krüger for this hint and pointing
this out.
The solution I did is to download lualatex sources from https://github.com/TeX-Live/luatex https://gitlab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/texlive/luatex (note, as of August 2024, use this new link, the github one is old). Click on code botton above and download the zip file.
Now extract the ZIP file into a temporary folder. The exact file to download from above is the zip file
wget https://github.com/TeX-Live/luatex/archive/refs/heads/trunk.zip to
download the zip file directly to some TMP folder and then extract the zip file. This will
create new folder called luatex-trunk.
Edit the file pdfdest.h in the source tree inside. It is located in
>pwd /home/me/TMP/luatex-trunk/source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/pdf >ls -lrt pdfdest.h -rw-r--r-- 1 me me 2167 May 27 18:12 pdfdest.h
There you will find the following lines
# define inf_dest_names_size 1000 /* min size of the destination names table for PDF output */ # define sup_dest_names_size 131072 /* max size of the destination names table for
I changed sup_dest_names_size which is now \(2^{17}\) to \(2^{18}=262144\). Saved the file.
Now at the top level folder where you extracted lualatex, there is a file called build.sh
>pwd /home/me/TMP/luatex-trunk >ls -l build.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 me me 11900 May 27 18:12 build.sh
Edit the above file and change BUILDLUAHB=FALSE to BUILDLUAHB=TRUE This is
so it builds luahbtex in addition to luatex. Also make sure to uncomment the
lines
#export CFLAGS="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O3" #export CXXFLAGS="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O3"
By removing the # from the front to now look like this.
export CFLAGS="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O3" export CXXFLAGS="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O3"
This is important, else the generated binaries will run very slow.
Now type ./build.sh
When done there will be two binaries luahbtex and luatex in folder
>pwd /home/me/TMP/luatex-trunk/build/texk/web2c -rwxr-xr-x 1 me me 7960728 Jul 7 20:42 luatex -rwxr-xr-x 1 me me 9376072 Jul 7 20:42 luahbtex
This completes the first phase. The second phase is to copy the above files (as root) from the above folder to your texLive installation.
On my system linux ubuntu I became root and copied the above 2 files to
/usr/local/texlive/2022/bin/x86_64-linux/ overwriting the original files (made a
backup copy before doing this just in case)
Now the final step is to rebuild texmf files using the command
sudo -E env "PATH=$PATH" fmtutil-sys --all
Make sure to run it as above using root! as shown above. Do not do
#DO NOT DO THIS, USE THE ABOVE INSTEAD sudo fmtutil-sys --all
As this might fail if root does not know where your TL path is and this can cause problems. (This happened to me).
That is all. Now lualatex will have its destination names set at 262144 instead of 131072 hardcoded into the source code.
Future versions of Lualatex should really make this parameter available to users to modify without having to do this each time but I asked the lualatex mailing list to do this and was just ignored.
https://www.mail-archive.com/luatex@tug.org/msg07512.html
I guess no body cares about generating large documents so it does not affect others.
May be in the future this can be changed using /usr/local/texlive/2022/texmf.cnf
Note: During doing this, I was getting an error
>lualatex foo.tex This is LuaHBTeX, Version 1.13.2 (TeX Live 2021) restricted system commands enabled. (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)>
If you get such an error, It turned out there was a hidden folder called $HOME/.texlive2022
in my home folder. Simply deleting this folder and trying again the texmf command above
solved this problem.
It seems newer versions of TL creates this hidden folder which I never knew about.
Now your document can have up to 262144 destination names available instead of the current low value.
THis was complicated., so I wrote the what I did below. In the latex file use this. THis is all on a Linux system. I am using lualatex and not pdflatex.
... \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[urw-garamond]{mathdesign} ....
But just typing lualatex foo.tex gives this erorr
! error: (type 1): cannot open file for reading 'ugmm8a.pfb'
These fonts do not come with tex live. So the following instructions shows what to do to get them.
On a terminal, typed, from some empty folder
wget https://tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/install-getnonfreefonts
This downloaded install-getnonfreefonts in the folder.
Next, typed sudo "PATH=$PATH" ./install-getnonfreefonts --sys --all
and the result is

Finally, now I can compile the latex file using lualatex foo.tex with the above packages,
and not get the error showed at earlier above.
These look like nice fonts.
Found this on the net. I wonder how many such faces can one draw in Latex?
\widehat{\dbinom{\odot_{\text{v}}\odot}{\wr}} gives
\(\widehat {\dbinom {\odot _{\text {v}}\odot }{\wr }}\)
Add \errorcontextlines=200 in preamble, that will display more lines around where the
error shows. (thanks to Ulrike Fischer)

To install
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install pdf2htmlex
To use
pdf2htmlEX --zoom 1.3 HW2_solution.pdf
To remove the side-bar which has extra TOC do
pdf2htmlEX --zoom 1.3 --embed-outline 0 foo.pdf
pdf2htmlEX seems to use html as extension. no option to change it so use this to make it use .htm which is what I use
pdf2htmlEX --zoom 1.3 --embed-outline 0 foo.pdf > foo.htm
One thing that I still do not understand about this program. It converts the whole pdf file to html page. Ok. But then what is the difference between this and using the build-in pdf reader in a browser, such as with Chrome for example?
I could not find how to make it split pages by sections and chapters and such as I can do with tex4ht. Without this ability, I am not sure how useful this will be for me. It is just like using the pdf itself this way. Will try to find out about this.

While on the same file, pdf2eps below works fine.
To crop pdf also (which can be useful) use this script by Herbert from above link

I wrote the following simple script prep which process all the pdf image files and generates
the needed files for tex4ht.
#!/bin/bash for file in $1; do filename=${file%.*} pdf2svg "$filename.pdf" "$filename.svg" pdf2eps 1 "$filename" done
It is called like this prep "*.pdf" or for one file prep foo.pdf it will generate a .svg and
.eps for each file.
This is thanks to @egreg from Tex stackexchange:

and then use \rl in the left hand sides of the equations.
see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/156908/whats-new-on-tlmgr one good method is by egreg which is this command http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/texmf-dist/tex/latex/?sortby=date

see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/246/when-should-i-use-input-vs-include
Problem description: I have many standalone Latex documents that I want to compile into documents on their own, but also I want to combine them into one main document and have the table of contents and other references work as if all documents were written as one file.
Solution:
Given this example layout
home/main.tex home/folderA/a.tex
Where main.tex and a.tex are self contained Latex files, each with its own title, table of contents and can include local resources such as images and listings.
Add the package \usepackage{standalone} in main.tex to strip all the preamble from the
included latex files. Also add it to each child document, so that each child document can be
compiled as standalone as well.
To use the above, make sure the master document at the top level includes all packages included by all the children.
Setup main.tex
\documentclass[12pt,notitlepage]{article} \usepackage{standalone}% \usepackage{listings} \usepackage{import} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{hyperref} \makeatletter \providecommand{\currentimportpath}{\import@path} \makeatother \begin{document} \title{This is my document home/main.tex title} \author{me} \maketitle \tableofcontents \section{this is first section in main.tex} once upon a time, and now include the other document \subimport{folderA/}{a} \end{document}
Setup a.tex as follows. This is important: remember to add \standalonetrue after
\usepackage{standalone} in each child package. We need this to be able to compile
each child package on its own and get a table of contents and title. We will us an
\ifstandalone logic in each child to check if we are building it standalone or
not. When the main is build, this flag will automatically be false, hence we will
not get table of content shown in each child. Little complicated, but just do it as
shown:
\documentclass[12pt,notitlepage]{article} \usepackage{standalone} \standalonetrue %remember this ! \usepackage{listings} \usepackage{import} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{hyperref} \makeatletter \providecommand{\currentimportpath}{\import@path} \makeatother \begin{document} \ifstandalone %Do this, so toc only shows when build standalone \title{This is my document home/folderA/a.tex title} \author{me} \maketitle \tableofcontents \fi \section{first section in file a.tex} \includegraphics{a.png} \section{second section in file a.tex} \lstinputlisting{a.txt} \section{third section in file a.tex} you can find my report \href{\currentimportpath a.txt}{here} \lipsum[1] \end{document}
Now you can compile a.texm or its own
cd home/folderA pdflatex a.tex
And the result is
But when compiling main.tex cd home; pdflatex main.tex the result shows a table of
contents that includes all children documents as shown
This is the result side by side
This zip file contains the tree shown above with all the files needed to rebuild it.
One problem with the above approach, is that we had to be explicit with add
\section and \subsection in the correct order in different documents in different
folders.
It would be better if this can be automated. Using a method shown here http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/9024/is-there-a-program-t hat-allows-to-move-sections-and-automatically-adjusts-the-le and I modified it slightly, here are the files needed. First assume we have a tree like this:
home/main.tex home/A/a.tex home/A/B/b.tex
and we want to build main.tex, which includes a.tex, and where a.tex also includes b.tex, and where we can build each document as standalone. These are the 3 files
main.tex
\documentclass[12pt,notitlepage]{book} \usepackage{standalone}% \input{commonlatex} \begin{document} \title{This is my document home/main.tex title} \author{me} \maketitle \tableofcontents \begin{deeplevel}{this is first section in main.tex} once upone a time, and now include the other document \subimport*{folderA/}{a} \end{deeplevel} \end{document}
the file a.tex is
\documentclass[12pt,notitlepage]{article} \usepackage{standalone} \standalonetrue \input{commonlatex} \begin{document} \ifstandalone \setcounter{level@depth}{1} \title{This is my document home/folderA/a.tex title} \author{me} \maketitle \tableofcontents \fi \begin{deeplevel}{first section in file a.tex} \includegraphics{a.png} \subimport*{folderAB/}{b} \begin{deeplevel}{this should show up below the above} \lipsum[75] \end{deeplevel} \end{deeplevel} \begin{deeplevel}{second section in file a.tex} \lstinputlisting{a.txt} \end{deeplevel} \begin{deeplevel}{third section in file a.tex} you can find my report \href{\currentimportpath a.txt}{here} \end{deeplevel} \lipsum[1] \end{document}
and the file b.tex is
\documentclass[12pt,notitlepage]{article} \usepackage{standalone} \standalonetrue \input{commonlatex} \begin{document} \ifstandalone \setcounter{level@depth}{2} \title{This is my document home/folderA/folderB/b.tex title} \author{me} \maketitle \tableofcontents \fi \begin{deeplevel}{first section in file b.tex} \lipsum[75] \begin{deeplevel}{this should show up below the above} \lipsum[75] \end{deeplevel} \end{deeplevel} \begin{deeplevel}{second section in file b.tex} \lstinputlisting{b.txt} \end{deeplevel} \begin{deeplevel}{third section in file b.tex} you can find my report \href{\currentimportpath b.txt}{here} \end{deeplevel} \lipsum[1] \end{document}
and the common include file is
%====================================== \makeatletter \newcounter{level@depth} \setcounter{level@depth}{-1} \newenvironment{deeplevel} % { % \addtocounter{level@depth}{1}% \ifcase\c@level@depth \expandafter \part \or \expandafter \chapter \or \expandafter \section \or \expandafter \subsection \or \expandafter \subsubsection \or \expandafter \paragraph \or \expandafter \subparagraph \or \expandafter \subsubparagraph \else \PackageError{deeplevel} { % Sections are too deeply nested.% } % { % Trying to recover with \string\subsubparagraph% } % \expandafter \subsubparagraph \fi } % {% \addtocounter{level@depth}{-1}% } \makeatother
Now one is able to build main.tex or a.tex or b.tex each on its own, and still get a complete document for each.

reference: http://help-csli.stanford.edu/tex/latex-pagebreaks.shtml
\pagebreak[] use to start a new page at the end of the current line. Without arguments if forces a page break. With arguments of 0,1,2,3, or 4 it suggests that this is a good place to break. 4 being equivalent to no argument and forcing the break. No extra space is put at the end of the page. \nopagebreak similar to \pagebreak except it prevents a pagebreak at the end of the current line. I rarely use it. \samepage pretty much as the latex manual says. I rarely use it. \newpage forces a break at the point and puts in space as needed at the end of the page. \clearpage similar to \newpage but figures are also printed \cleardoublepage similar to \clearpage but will force another page if needed so the next page with print is odd numbered.
From http://www.andy-roberts.net/writing/latex/tables
The tabular is another such environment, designed for formatting your data into nicely arranged tables. Arguments are required after the environment declaration to describe the alignment of each column. The number of columns does not need to be specified as it is inferred by looking at the number of arguments provided. It is also possible to add vertical lines between the columns here. The following symbols are available to describe the table columns: l left-justified column c centered column r right-justified column p{width} paragraph column with text vertically aligned at the top m{width} paragraph column with text vertically aligned in the middle b{width} paragraph column with text vertically aligned at the bottom | vertical line || double vertical line Once in the environment, & column separator \\ start new row \hline horizontal line to adjust the spacing between rows in a latex table, add square brackets and the size adjustment after the linebreak. for instance, to compress rows by 1 inch: entry1 & entry2 & entry3 \\[-1in]

Sectioning commands provide the means to structure your text into units.
\part \chapter (report style only) \section \subsection \subsubsection \paragraph \subparagraph \subsubparagraph (milstd and book-form styles only) \subsubsubparagraph (milstd and book-form styles only)
\part -1 -----> school \chapter 0 ------> semester \section 1 ------> course \subsection 2 -------> HWs \subsubsection 3 ----> HW1,2,3.... \paragraph 4 --------> part(a),(b),..... \subparagraph 5
\setcounter{tocdepth}{n} where n is an integer, tells latex how deep to make TOC. n
depends on the class type, see above.
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{m} tells latex which entries in the TOC (which depends on the
first command above) to give it a number to the left side. default is 3 I think. But better to
have numbers for all sections and subsection in TOC.
Do the above in preamble of document.
some links on TOC in latex
can change depth of toc using \setcounter{tocdepth}{depth} in preamble. it looks like
default depth is 3.

make4ht --lua see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/315162/error-with-tex4ht-under-tl-2016-when-using-lua-string-contains-an-invalid-utf-8
but this should be fixed very soon (ok, allready fixed)
If compiling with lualtaex, need to add this to all files
\IfFileExists{luatex85.sty} { \usepackage{luatex85} } {}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} Makes tex4ht \verb not accept different fonts. Bug. see
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/318232/why-tex4ht-do-not-change-font-size-of-verb-when-including-usepackaget1font
Increase bufsize, else it will fail on some large builds
sudo vi /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf.cnf
Added these:
% (Public domain.) % This texmf.cnf file should contain only your personal changes from the % original texmf.cnf (for example, as chosen in the installer). % % That is, if you need to make changes to texmf.cnf, put your custom % settings in this file, which is .../texlive/YYYY/texmf.cnf, rather than % the distributed file (which is .../texlive/YYYY/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf). % And include *only* your changed values, not a copy of the whole thing! % buf_size=90000000 pool_size=9000000 main_memory=8000000 save_size=1000000
increase open file limit, lualatex still has problem
edit the file /etc/security/limits.conf as root and add these lines
* soft nofile 4096 * hard nofile 4096

fix algorithm2e.sty so that lualatex can use

I need to fix/add few things after texlive is installed for tex4ht. This is a summary of the items to do.
When using standalone package, this error will show up with tex4ht only
(/usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/tex/generic/xkeyval/xkeyval.tex (/usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/tex/generic/xkeyval/keyval.tex))) ! Extra \else. l.227 \else ? x
There is a patch for this. Get the updated standalone.sty and replace the
current installed one with it. The standalong.sty can be found at https:
//bitbucket.org/martin_scharrer/standalone/raw/635aacfa0e8f2cba4f4086f4f15d57791b18bf64/standalone.sty
Replace the file /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/tex/latex/standalone/standalone
With it. Now this problem will go away.

\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{image}
Using \begin{figure} makes images float and so hard to control the location. Instead, can
use just \includegraphics{name} but to get use caption, use this method by Gonzalo
Medina
When this viewed in HTML, tex4ht puts one image below the other. It seems tex4ht does not support minipages.
To do the same for tex4ht try the following, using multicols new support added to tex4ht
These are different examples of placing figures

list of some I tried
\Verbatim that has also Latex code in it, it think it is part of the document
and shows it in the structure of the actual document as well.
Thanks for TorbjørnT. from Tex forum for these methods.
Sometimes I needed to define some text and put it in 2 different places.
If the text has no verbatim in it, this method can be used
\documentclass{article}% \begin{document} \newcommand\mytext{ text with some with no verbatim more text here } \mytext \renewcommand\mytext{ more text with here more text here also....... } \mytext \end{document}
But if the text has verbatim in it, the above does not work. Use this method
\documentclass{article}% \usepackage{filecontents} \begin{document} \begin{filecontents*}{somefile.txt} Text with \verb|Initialization| verbatim it. This would now be put in text file, then read again \end{filecontents*} \input{somefile.txt} \end{document}
From http://www.andy-roberts.net/writing/latex/tables
There are also things known as command lengths, which are not fixed values as they depend on the configuration of the current document class and/or preamble. Useful ones include: * \parindent - the size of the paragraph indent * \baselineskip - vertical distance between lines. * \parskip - the extra space between paragraphs. * \textwidth - the width of a line of text in the local environment (e.g., the lines are commonly narrower in the abstract than in the normal text). * \textheight - the height of the text on the page.
try this sometime
% % this makes list spacing much better. % \newenvironment{my_enumerate}{ \begin{enumerate} \setlength{\itemsep}{1pt} \setlength{\parskip}{0pt} \setlength{\parsep}{0pt}}{\end{enumerate} }
What I do is insert this code somewhere at the top of my LaTeX document, before I need to
create any enumerations. Then, later in the document, when I do want to create an
enumeration, instead of using the enumerate tag, I use the my_enumerate
\text{\scriptsize $\sin(x)$}
Use different size as needed, footnotesize or tiny and others.
This file can only be compiled by xelatex of lualatex
\documentclass{article} \usepackage[no-math]{fontspec} \setmainfont[ Ligatures=TeX, ]{Architect} \begin{document} This is some TEXT. \end{document}
Then compile using xelatex foo.tex. The fonts used above, called Architect was downloaded
from http://www.911fonts.com/font/download_StylusITCTTRegular_66.htm
See using-handwriting-font-in-proofs for more information.
Some fonts utilities on linux
kcharselect gfontsel xfontsel xlsfonts chkfontpath fslsfonts
It seems on Linux one needs to just create $HOME/.fonts/ folder and put the .tff files
there.
For example, I downloaded zip file from the above, extracted it, and copied one .tff file to
>pwd /home/me/.fonts >ls -l -rwxr-xr-x 1 me me 36708 Sep 22 02:09 17273_architectbold.ttf
Now, make sure to rename the file above to match the actual font name as given inside the file. Double clicking on the file at least on windows, and look for the font name. do not use the file name itself. Must rename the file to match the font name. For the above, I did
>mv 17273_architectbold.ttf Architect-Bold.ttf
Since Architect-Bold was the actual font name.
And changed the latex file to the exact file name above as follows
\documentclass{article} \usepackage[no-math]{fontspec} \setmainfont[ Ligatures=TeX, ]{Architect-Bold} \begin{document} This is some TEXT. \end{document}
The command fc-cache might be also useful to run after doing the above just in
case. Use xelatex and not lulatex for the above. It seems there is difference
on how fonts are found depending on which one to use. The above instructions
are for xelatex which is what I used. It might work with lulatex, do not know
now.
See fontspec-xelatex-finding-fonts-by-name-installed-or-in-texmfhome
To use times package, just add the line
Just add this line
\usepackage{times}
See how-do-you-change-the-document-font-in-latex for more information.
I use this method which works ok for me. I have a file called switch.tex where the switch is
set to true or false. I have to edit this file to change the switch. Then in the main latex
document, I input this file. This diagram shows the process.
\ifbool{switch} {.... latex code to compile when switch is true....} {.... latex code to compile when switch is false....}
This shows how to use other environments to generate Latex code. In Mathematica
s = ToString["\\documentclass[12pt,titlepage]{article} \\begin{document} It is known that $\\sin(0)=" <> ToString[Sin[0]] <> "$ \\end{document}"]; file = OpenWrite["C:\\tmp\\p.tex", PageWidth -> Infinity]; WriteString[file, s]; Close[file];
This generates the Latex file p.tex
\documentclass[12pt,titlepage]{article} \begin{document} It is known that $\sin(0)=0$ \end{document}
Using Python
import math s=r""" \documentclass[12pt,titlepage]{article} \begin{document} It is known that $\sin(0)="""+repr(math.sin(0))+r"""$ \end{document}""" text_file = open(r"C:\tmp\p.tex", "w") text_file.write(s) text_file.close()
The above generates the Latex file
\documentclass[12pt,titlepage]{article} \begin{document} It is known that $\sin(0)=0.0$ \end{document}
From C++ (needs C++11)
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <math.h> using namespace std; int main() { //int r = 5; string s =R"( \documentclass[12pt,titlepage]{article} \begin{document} It is known that (a) $\sin(\pi)=)" + std::to_string(sin(M_PI)) + R"($ \end{document} )"; cout << s << endl; return 0; }
And now compile and run
>g++ -Wall -std=c++0x try_string_literal.cpp >./a.out \documentclass[12pt,titlepage]{article} \begin{document} It is known that (a) $\sin(\pi)=0.000000$ \end{document}
Add --debug --interactive
type texdoc tex-overview.pdf
cd `kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFHOME`
and make directory tex/latex/mystuff/ and put the file there.
Verify using kpsewhich filename.sty.

pdftops -f 1 -l 1 -eps pic.pdf
Using this:
\documentclass[11pt,notitlepage]{article}% \usepackage{graphicx} \begin{document} \makeatletter \Gin@extensions \makeatother \end{document}
Compiled with htlatex gives
.eps,.ps,.eps.gz,.ps.gz,.eps.Z,.mps
and compiled with pdflatex gives
.png,.pdf,.jpg,.mps,.jpeg,.jbig2,.jb2,.PNG,.PDF,.JPG,.JPEG,.JBIG2,.JB2,.eps
And compiled with lualatex gives
.png,.pdf,.jpg,.mps,.tif,.jpeg,.PNG,.PDF,.JPG,.JPEG,.eps
The number of pages of the pdf is first found, then a loop is used to load each page. Make
sure to use \clearpage before, so that the first pdf page is on a new page and make sure to
clear the page also after each page in the loop.
Here is an example
\usepackage{tikz} \usepackage{pgffor} .... \pdfximage{foo.pdf} \foreach \n in {1,...,\the\pdflastximagepages} { \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay] \node[inner sep=0pt] at (current page.center) { \includegraphics[page=\n]{foo.pdf}}; \end{tikzpicture} \clearpage }
If you know the pdf file has only one page, then the following is enough
\clearpage \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay] \node[inner sep=0pt] at (current page.center) { \includegraphics[page=1,scale=0.9]{foo.pdf} }; \end{tikzpicture} \clearpage
I put all my images needed for the document in an images/ folder below the main document folder. Using recusrive make, the document Makefile has this line at its top
DIRS = images include common.mk ...
Then the Makefile in the images/ file looks like this
DIRS = include common.mk FILES := $(shell ls -1 *.pdf) #$(info $$FILES is [${FILES}]) TARGET = $(basename $(FILES)) #$(info $$TARGET is [${TARGET}]) all:: ${TARGET:=.svg} @echo "Finished building [$?]" %.svg : %.pdf prep $< .PHONY: clean clean :: -rm -f ${TARGET:=.svg}
Where prep is my script I use to crop the images and generate SVG image from each. Here
it is
>cat `which prep` #!/bin/bash set -u set -e set -o pipefail for file in $1; do filename=${file%.*} pdfcrop --margins 10 --clip "$filename.pdf" "$filename.pdf" pdf2svg "$filename.pdf" "$filename.svg" # pdftops -f 1 -l 1 -level3 -eps "$filename.pdf" done my_courses>
I use pdf file for the source of all the images. The above setup takes care of updating the images if one of them changes when compiling the latex file.

The output of the above is

This uses lua function to read the specific field in the CVS file. For example, given this CVS file in the directory
123,Poty city,Poti,red,-295731.42857144,617222.85714285 124,Lanchhuti city,Poti,red,-299217.14285715,647851.42857142 125,Ozurgeti city,Poti,red,-317217.14285715,648422.85714285 126,Samtredia city,Poti,red,-287502.85714287,672022.85714285
and you want to insert, say field located at row 2 and column 5, which is -299217.14285715 in the above, and field at row 1 and column 3, which is Poti then do
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|}\hline 1 & \getField{1}{2} & 3 & 4 & 5 \\\hline 6 & 7 & 8 & \getField{2}{5} & 9 \\\hline 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 \\\hline \end{tabular}
The full code is below. I googled lua code to parse CVS files, there are few on the net, I found one that worked and used it. The CVS file is read automatically. Change the cvs file name in the code below and its path as needed. The latex file needs to be compiled with lualatex not pdflatex
