Folder Structure

The depth of the folder ranges from 1 to 3. As shown above, the LaTeX folder can be either located at Root/LaTeX, or Root/Homework/0/LaTeX. Running ./compile.py which compile problem.tex, solution.tex, and main.tex, and the filename and title of the generated PDFs will be updated based on the folder structure.

The intents of the predefined .tex files are

• body.tex: where the main content is located. It is included in problem.tex, solution.tex, and main.tex.
• problem.tex: serves as a problem statement which will ignore the content embraced in the solution environment in body.tex.
• solution.tex: serves as a solution manual.
• main.tex: serves as a report.

Usage

• compile.py

  python3 compile.py [option] # option: empty, 1, 2, 3, problem.tex, solutiont.tex, main.tex
  

  or

  ./compile.py [option] # option: empty, 1, 2, 3, problem.tex, solutiont.tex, main.tex
  

• Makefile

  make compile      # same as ./compile.py
  make update       # updates Makefile, compile.py, problem.tex, solution.tex, main.tex
  make problem.pdf  # compiles problem.tex
  make solution.pdf # compiles solution.tex
  make main.pdf     # compiles main.tex
  

Template 2: Pandoc LaTeX Template for Homework (Pandoc-LaTeX 1000)

Folder Structure

Here is the basic structure of the folder:

.
├── LICENSE
├── Pandoc-LaTeX\ 1000
│   └── Homework
│       └── Template
│           └── LaTeX
│               ├── body.pdc
│               ├── compile.py
│               ├── hw.tex
│               └── hw_template.tex
└── README.md

Ideally, the folder Pandoc-LaTeX\ 1000 can be extended as follows:

MATH5200
├── Homework
│   ├── 1
│   │   ├── LaTeX
│   │   │   ├── body.pdc
│   │   │   ├── body.tex
│   │   │   ├── compile.py
│   │   │   ├── hw.tex
│   │   │   └── hw_template.tex
│   │   └── MATH.5200.Homework.1_Libao.Jin.pdf
│   ├── 2
│   │   ├── LaTeX
│   │   │   ├── body.pdc
│   │   │   ├── body.tex
│   │   │   ├── compile.py
│   │   │   ├── hw.tex
│   │   │   └── hw_template.tex
│   │   └── MATH.5200.Homework.2_Libao.Jin.pdf
│   └── 3
│       ├── LaTeX
│       │   ├── body.pdc
│       │   ├── body.tex
│       │   ├── compile.py
│       │   ├── hw.tex
│       │   └── hw_template.tex
│       └── MATH5200.Homework.3_Libao.Jin.pdf
├── Lecture.Notes
└── Problem.Sets

The root folder can be a folder for one specific course, say MATH5200 (Real Variables), which contains several subfolders, like Homework, Lecture.Notes, Problem.Sets, etc. And in the folder Homework, there are also several different subfolders such 1, 2, 3, … which refers to all the homework in the semester.

Usage

Enter the content into the Pandoc file body.pdc, then use compile.py to compile to generate the PDF document. Here is the syntax of using the compile.py.

python compile.py [option] # option: empty, 1, 2.

or

./compile.py [option] # option: empty, 1, 2.

Note: hw.tex and hw_template.tex are LaTeX templates if you wish to modify the details of the style.
