latex-mindmapper is a binary that parses .tex files for special \lmmnode
commands and uses
those to create a DOT graph description. The goal is to allow building a mindmap inside the
LaTeX file to make it easier to keep it up to date.
- Add the following no-op command to your .tex file, so that
\lmmnode
will not throw any errors:\newcommand{\lmmnode}[4][]{}
- Insert
\lmmnode
commands into your .tex file- Syntax:
\lmmnode{<parent_id>}{<id>}{<label>}
- (example) root node:
\lmmnode{}{root}{Root node}
- (example) branch:
\lmmnode{root}{branch1}{Branch}
- Syntax:
- Run
latex-mindmapper my-article.tex
to print DOT description of the file to stdout.
Print examples/foo.tex mindmap to output.png using Graphviz:
cargo run -- examples/foo.tex | dot -Tpng > output.png
