My templates for all kinds of stuff (programming contests, homework, etc.)

templates

My templates for all kinds of stuff (programming contests, homework, etc.), plus a convenient little system for creating and compiling files based on them.

Everything that isn't *.make or template_functions.sh is some template of mine, feel free to look around and steal all those great ideas, I stole most of them too.

How to use my template system

template_functions.sh

Contains all the functions for working with the system. Source this file to have access to the following functions. You can optionally do something like source template_functions.sh 1 or set the TEMPLATE_FUNCTIONS_ALIASES environment variable to get quick shorthands for most of these functions.

  • template_for target_filename|extension [template_name='default']: returns the full path to the corresponding template (matching either the exact basename of the target file if any, or the template name + the extension)
  • template_new target_filename [template_name='default']: creates a new file named target_filename from the corresponding template -- alias: tn
  • template_edit target_filename [template_name='default']: calls template_new and opens the file with your $EDITOR -- alias: te
  • template_make target_filename [template_name='default']: compiles the file using the correct Makefile (see below) -- alias: tm

You should set your template directory as TEMPLATE_DIR here.

*.make

Makefiles describing how to compile stuff. When you call template_make myfile.<ext> mytemplate, make myfile.<out_ext> will be called with all Makefiles named mytemplate.<ext>-<out_ext>.make. Examples:

  • compile your C++ homework: create homework.cpp-bin.make; calling template_make file.cpp homework will execute make -f homework.cpp-bin.make file.bin
  • create both DVI and PDF from LaTeX: create default.tex-dvi.make and default.tex-pdf.make; calling template_make file.tex will execute make -f default.tex-dvi.make file.dvi ; make -f default.tex-pdf.make file.pdf

See the *.make files in this repo for makefile examples.

Everything else

Your pretty templates (whatever you want, I just cp those; see template_for for the resolution description).

See my files in the repo for example usage and great templates. If you have questions, ask Google. If you still have questions, ask me.
