Latex Code inside reST File convert to PDF

Latex Code inside reST File convert to PDF

[Zelphir Kaltstahl]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1685 bytes --]

When I write in Pandoc Markdown, I can use (probably almost) arbitrary 
Latex code in my markdown files, as long as needed packages are imported in 
the Pandoc template. The Latex code is then ignored and as is inserted into 
the template's body, if I understand correctly. Then the whole thing is 
compiled to PDF.

Is the same possible in reStructuredText files?

I already know the .. :math: directive to be working, someone had an 
example of that on the tex stackexchange subsite.

The reason I ask this is an idea I have.

Citations are not working when converting from reST file to PDF. However, 
if I simply still used a style of citations and then ran a small tool, 
which checks for citation keys in the bib file itself and transforms those 
citations into Latex citations, that Latex code would be inserted into the 
template. Then I could export to latex and use latexmk to build the PDF 
with citations working just fine.
For this to work, it would be necessary, that I can include Latex in my 
reST files, before pandoc puts it all into the template and creates the 
complete document's Latex code.

Yes, you can do

    .. raw:: latex

       latex goes here

for a whole block.  This won't help for citations.
For inlines you'll need

    .. role:: raw-latex(raw)
       :format: latex
       ..

at the top, then you can do

   :raw-latex:``\cite{hi}``

Thanks!

This works, although it seems that it has to be:

    :raw-latex:`\cite{hi}`

Otherwise Pandoc puts a ` on each side of the \cite{...} in the latex 
output.

The whole process will probably be (once I finished that small program):


   1. use pandoc citation style in rst file
   2. run the program to add the role and transform the citations 
   into :raw-latex:`\cite{...}` citations
   3. run pandoc to produce latex (which will convert 
   the :raw-latex:`\cite{...}` to just \cite{...} citations)
   4. run latexmk to produce pdf

In a first test run, where I added the role and put in a 
:raw-latex:`\cite{...}` somewhere, this process worked fine, haven't tried 
page numbers and such yet. I have to look up how that looks in latex.

You could use pandoc itself to write this program.

pandoc -f markdown --natbib

or

pandoc -f markdown --biblatex

will generate the LaTeX command from the pandoc markdown
citation.

I am not sure I understand correctly.

So I have some rst file with a pandoc citation in it. Lets say there is

    text text[@chou_2003 p.10] text text

When I use

    pandoc -f markdown --natbib --output test.pan

I get a file, which contains

    text text<span class="citation">[@chou_2003 p.10]</span> text text

So I'd have a file with HTML tags in it. (I think Pandocs internal 
representation?) What would I do then? Does Pandoc know how to convert that 
to PDF? If so what command would I use then?

Latex files for resume/CV formatting

[Fernando Botelho]

Hi everyone,

I am working on a project to make it easy for non-technical blind 
persons to produce high quality resumes for their own use. I think 
markdown is just perfect for this.

the more immediate challenge is that I am myself not very technical. I 
was hoping someone on this list, who has already configured all the 
various Latex parameters to create his/her own resumes, might be able to 
share those files with me.

I am experimenting with both Linux and Windows, so contributions that 
will work on both or either would be great.

My own Linux experiment on Arch has not yielded very pretty results. My 
guess is that I am not placing all the required files in the folder 
where the PDF is being built.

Any assistance is most welcome!

Thanks,

Fernando

I've a nice template for papers / books, at least I think it's good. But 
resumes seem to involve more positioning than articles or book texts. Not 
sure they'll help you, but here you 
go: https://github.com/ZelphirKaltstahl/pandoc-templates/
I think a new topic would have been better though : )

Re: Latex Code inside reST File convert to PDF

[John MacFarlane]

I just meant that, in the script you were describing
writing, you could call pandoc on individual snippets
(just the citations) to generate latex code.

    % echo "[@chou_2003 p. 10]" | pandoc --natbib -t latex
    \citep[ p.~10]{chou_2003}

This saves you the trouble of writing that part of the
script yourself.  Your script would then put this into
the appropriate RST construct and splice it back into
your file.

Re: Latex Code inside reST File convert to PDF

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3010 bytes --]

That's a nice idea.
I already wrote that part of my code though. It's not that much code, so 
not much work wasted or anything.
In the end I also decided to not go with the pandoc citation style but the 
style reST aready has. My self-argumentation was:

1. When someone writes a rst file, they probably have some kind of syntax 
highlighting and rst support or at least are used to writing rst files. So 
when I stick to the existing rst syntax, it would be supported by their 
tools.
2. It seemed better not to introduce a "completely new" citation style into 
rst syntax, when it already has citations. However I added page number 
capability, while rst doesn't seem to have that. I guess you could say I am 
not consequent on this one.
3. Adding Pandoc's citation style would be very easy in my program, just a 
matter of adding a few regexes.

Here is what I got so far:

    https://github.com/ZelphirKaltstahl/rst-citations-to-raw-latex 
<https://github.com/ZelphirKaltstahl/rst-citations-to-raw-latex>

I run it with:

    python -m RSTCitations <rst file with rst citations>

From the directory:

    rst-citations-to-raw-latex 

After:

    git clone 
https://github.com/ZelphirKaltstahl/rst-citations-to-raw-latex.git

I already did a test run and it worked well using the following script:

    pandoc \
    --from=rst \
    --preserve-tabs \
    --top-level-division=chapter \
    --standalone \
    --template=template-book-de.latex \
    --latex-engine=xelatex \
    --bibliography=bibliography.bib \
    --natbib \
    --metadata=toc:false \
    --metadata=title:"Citation Example" \
    --metadata=subtitle:"none" \
    --metadata=author:"Zelphir" \
    --metadata=keywords:"citation style" \
    --metadata=subject:"citation" \
    --output citation-example-from-rst.latex \
    citation-example.rst.out

    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        echo -e "${SUCCESS_COLOR}Successfully${NO_COLOR} created 
${HIGHLIGHT_COLOR}citation-example-from-rst.latex${NO_COLOR}"
    else
        echo -e "${ERROR_COLOR}Failed${NO_COLOR} to create 
${HIGHLIGHT_COLOR}citation-example-from-rst.latex${NO_COLOR}"
        exit 1
    fi

    latexmk -xelatex citation-example-from-rst.latex

In this case:

    citation-example.rst.out

is the resulting file from the call of my program.

So far the program makes the assumption, that the raw latex role has not 
been defined in the rst file yet and simply adds three lines on top of the 
file.

(The script for building the pdf is longer but there is only some stuff 
about colors in it and I overlooked some parts when posting, so you'd need 
to remove those parts of the script and only use the pandoc and latexmk 
commands in it.)

Oh and doesn't this interpret the rst file wrongly as markdown file?
