conference-proceedings-bash

Bash scripts for managing conference proceedings written in LaTeX.

Original scripts used for ACML 2016 proceedings (published in JMLR).

Files

  • articles.list

    Defines the articles (and their order) for the proceedings.

    Format:

    name <TAB> dir <TAB> compiler <TAB> include in page count (yes|no)

  • build.sh

    Builds all papers defined in articles.list (same directory as build.sh). The articles.list file contains the directories of the articles and the compiler to use for each article (eg xelatex or pdflatex).

  • list_page_no.sh

    Once the build.sh script has compiled all articles, this script can be used to output the page numbers of all the articles. It also outputs the start page number for each of the articles. Articles, like prefaces, can be excluded from the start page count (see articles.list format).

  • update_start_page.sh

    Updates the start page command sequences in the articles using the output generated by list_page_no.sh.

    The following LaTeX sequence gets updated:

    \newcommand{\startpage}{123}

  • copy_to.sh

    Copies the compiled articles (ie PDFs) to a user-specified output directory. This includes optional, supplementary documents.
