Utilities I commonly use with LaTeX

LaTeX

avimehra.sty

avimehra.sty

All-encompassing package

To use, make it visible to your LaTeX engine.

Generate your own package file

generate-sty.ts

Example: avimehra.sty.ts is used to generate the aforementioned avimehra.sty.

pandoc/Markdown

npm i @mehra/tex

Template

pandoc-template.tex

A bare-bones LaTeX template for use in pandoc. Tested with pdflatex.

Configuration

Set config params with front-matter or cli options.

Style presets (assume avimehra.sty is visible)

• pset
  • for problem set solutions
• default-style
  • for textbook-style worksheets

Use packages

Use the config parameter package, which is an array of objects (each is henceforth referred to as package) of any of these types (can mix-and-match):

• string
  • \usepackage{<package>}
• { name: string }
  • \usepackage{<package.name>}
• { name: string, options: string }
  • \usepackage[<package.options>]{<package.name>}

Other config options

• title
• author
• date
• prompt
• abstract
• figure-here
  • whether to override float placement for figure as htbp

Filter

latex.js

Filters the pandoc AST to improve syntax for LaTeX environments

Compile file to LaTeX in place (no temp/aux files)

pandoc_latex_current_file.ts

Uses the pandoc filter and template from above.

Call as ts-node ./src/pandoc_latex_current_file.ts <src> <out> <dirname>. Can also use node ./dist/pandoc_latex_current_file.js <src> <out> <dirname> if dist/pandoc_latex_current_file.js exists. Usually used on a Markdown file.

IntelliJ/JetBrains Run Configuration

By adding the run configuration Pandoc_LaTeX_Current_File.xml, clicking run will actually compile the currently opened file in place, hence the name.
