CustomTeX is a command line utility for setting up LaTeX projects based on some predefined styles for titles, section headers, theorems, etc.
For the moment, the utility is intended for a personal use, since there aren't many options for customization. However, we aim to design a more general system for creating LaTeX projects based on dynamic and fully customizable templates.
CustomTeX is a Python library and can be installed using pip:
pip install customtex
No additional dependencies are required.
To generate the main files of a LaTeX project with CustomTeX, you have to run the customtex command followed by the path, main file name and language options and the init or the template subcommand. For example:
customtex --path /path/to/directory --name main --lang english init [options]
This will create a LaTeX project with the following structure in the path/to/directory directory:
/path/to/directory
├── main.tex
└── tex
├── macros.tex
└── preamble.tex
The init subcommand creates a project based on the options that the utility provides. Run customtex init --help to see the available options.
The template subcommand creates a project based on a template. A template consist of a list of options from the init subcommand that are run when invoking the template option followed by the name of the template.
Run customtex template --help to see the available templates.
