Crate rust_texas

Well, hello there.

So this crate aims to provide convenient ways of programmatically generating a latex file.

If you want to just convert from some other file format WITHOUT any processing, I recommend pandoc.

I’ll slowly and steadily begin adding more features, and my goal is to be able to cover most standard use-cases of Latex. If you want any feature, raise an issue! I will see it, and while I may not reply (scatterbrained, much?) I will fix it.

A shout-out to another crate, tex-rs. A few of the design choices I made are based on this crate. Mine’s still better, though. 😉

Re-exports

• pub use traits::*;
• pub use commands::*;
• pub use component::*;
• pub use document::*;
• pub use errors::*;

Modules

• casting
  Bunch of From<>s, they feel like they might be useful
• commands
  Latex commands/macros. Haven’t found this in any other crate.
• component
  Standard Latex things.
• document
  Packages and the overall latex layout.
• errors
  Custom error type.
• macros
  Really helpful stuff.
• traits
  Ubiquitous.

Macros

• chapter
  Sugar for \chapter{} creation
• command
  This could’ve gotten real ugly if you had to do it yourself. So whenever you’ve got a latex macro you defined earlier, and want to use it, use this macro.
• document
  Sugar for document creation
• environment
  Sugar for environment creation.
• image
  Sugar for image creation
• package
  This, too, could’ve gotten ugly. Package creation with options.
• part
  Sugar for \part{} creation
• row
  Basically vec![]
• section
  Sugar for \section{} creation
• tabular
  Sugar for table creation. Different name coz diesel uses the table!() macro to do some wizardry.
• textchunk
  Convenient, I hope?
• unwrap
