author-affiliations

A Python script to number and format affiliations in an author list, given a list of authors and their affiliations.

Running

This works by running

python affiliate.py [authors] [affiliations] [output]

where:

• [authors] is a path to a file giving an ordered list of authors and shorthands for their affiliations
• [affiliations] is a path to a file giving the full names of each affiliation shorthand
• [output] is a path to a file to which to write the author list and affiliations in HTML

The output is formatted in HTML to display superscripts (without Unicode) and easily allow copy+pasting into a document.

It also supports the option --out-latex to produce the same output in LaTeX.

Example

examples/authors.txt is an example of the [authors] input and examples/affiliations.txt is an example of the [affiliations] input. examples/output.html is the output of this example, and examples/output.tex is the output in LaTeX. It was produced by running

python affiliate.py examples/authors.txt examples/affiliations.txt examples/output.html --out-latex examples/output.tex

GitHub won't render the HTML, but you can download it and open it in a browser.
