BlackTeX

About this project

BlackTeX is a PGN to LaTeX converter, you just need to input a PGN file and it will convert the file into a beautiful TEX file.

This repository is one component of a two-part college project aimed at converting PGN files to LaTeX format. This software is written in C++ and it uses the library pgnp, a PGN parser made by manzerbredes.

The other part of the project is a PHP-based front-end web page that relies on this software in order to function.

This project was made with ❤️ by Evios17, Sparkyu222 and ch2792.

Usage

Basic usage :

$ blacktex -i <input_file>

This command will convert the PGN input file to a TEX file with the same name as the input

You can also use options :

$ blacktex -i <input_file> -o <output_file> -c <counts>

-i: specify the input file

-o : specify the output file

-c : specify the number of counts before showing the chessboard in the output

Building

To build the converter, you just need to execute the build.sh script :

$ chmod u+x build.sh
$ ./build.sh

The executable will be placed in the build/ folder
