Abbreviation-Generator-From-Latex

3 Steps

Generate Abbreviations from Latex files using this Python3 script:

python3 abbr_latex_generator.py -f -s <source latex files>

Then you can find a middle file abbr.cvs for you to check and modify.

After you modify the csv file, then you can execute the backend flow to generate latex format table from this csv file. You can find the final latex file abbr.tex.

python3 abbr_latex_generator.py -b

Full Usages

usage: abbr_latex_generator.py [-h] [-f] [-b] [-s TEX_SOURCE_FILE [TEX_SOURCE_FILE ...]] [-c CSV_DIR] [-l TEX_DIR]

To retrieval abbreviations from the files into a latex table.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f, --frontend        Execute frontend flow.
  -b, --backend         Execute backend flow.
  -s TEX_SOURCE_FILE [TEX_SOURCE_FILE ...], --texsourcefile TEX_SOURCE_FILE [TEX_SOURCE_FILE ...]
                        The source latex files that will be retrieved. This argument is required in frontend
  -c CSV_DIR, --csvdir CSV_DIR
                        The generated abbr csv directory.
  -l TEX_DIR, --latexdir TEX_DIR
                        The generated abbr latex table directory.

Frontend Example

Retrieval abbreviations from a single Latex file:

python3 abbr_latex_generator.py -f -s my_latex.tex

Retrieval abbreviations from multiple Latex files:

python3 abbr_latex_generator.py -f -s *.tex

Reference

This Python script employs the Python library abbreviation-extraction to extrate abbreviations into the middle csv file.

So you're supposed to install this package:

pip3 install abbreviations

Or:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
