The idea of this directory is to provide shared resources for preparing publications.

Most importantly it contains the makefile with common command packages to compile latex files.

Usage

• Add a submodule to your git repository with git submodule add git@git8.cs.fau.de:public-repos/TexCommon.git or <relative path>/public-repos/TexCommon.git
• Run git submodule update --init or git submodule update --recursive in TexCommon if it is empty
• Use git pull <remote> <branch> in TexCommon to update to the latest version
• Add the Makefile to your repository with the content

  export TEXINPUTS:=${TEXINPUTS}:.:TexCommon
  SRCNAMES := <list of files to compile>
  include TexCommon/Makefile

• If SRCNAMES is omitted, it will be computed automatically

Quick summary of commands

• make (=make pdf) complies .pdf from the root file.
• make <filename> tries to obtain <filename>, e.g. if <filename>=foo.pdf it will try to compile foo.tex in order to get it no matter what foo is.
• make clean removes all target files obtained by latex in one round.
• make cleanall removes all target files.
• make up uploads the compiled .pdf and .ps files on the server to the current user's directory under the same name unless overridden by $EXTNAME variable.
• make show shows the compiled .pdf using xdg-open.
• make bibtex runs bibtex for all .bib files of the current directory.
• make bibtool normalizes the the .bib files by calling bibtool with the settings given in bibtool.rc
• make pack create a zipped file of a final version of the paper (usually needs manual postprocessing)
