This tool, given a Google Doc exported to latex using https://www.docx2latex.com/, cleans up the content and produces the chapter files (and abstract) that can be loaded in another latex template.
To make this work, specific rules have to be used while writing the Google Docs document:
- ensure to use Google Docs hierarchical headings
- for the abstract write it between the title ( preceeded by the
Abstractheading): its sections won't be displayed in the TOC. - footnotes to citations must be in the form
Key:<BIBITEM_KEY> <ANY_TEXT CAN FOLLOW>where<BIBITEM_KEY>is the identifier of the bibitem. - for images substitution, add a
[FIG:<figure_identifier> CAPTION:<caption to insert for the figure>]and use refs like[REF FIG:<figure_identifier>]where<figure_identifier>is the name of the pdf file to be placed in the folderfigures. - for tables to be listed in TOC, use
[TABLE:<table_identifier> CAPTION:<Any text there>], that can be referenced with[REF TABLE:<table_identifier>] - to have cross references use
[REF <LABEL>]where<LABEL>has been used inside a declaration[LABEL:<LABEL>]
Procedure:
- use Doc2Latex https://www.docx2latex.com/docx2latex_free
- extract the
.zipfile in the subdirectorysource - run the python script
- chech the output results in the folder
out
The results are:
mediafolder with all the pictures from the Google Doc. You may want to substitute them with vectorial pdfspartialsfolder that will contain the abstract and the chapters
