Description: # Templating with LaTex and Python
        
        This year I'm trying to generate quizzes automatically to the degree possible.
        
        I've cooked up a templating scheme using [jijna2](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.11.x/)
        
        This [article](http://eosrei.net/articles/2015/11/latex-templates-python-and-jinja2-generate-pdfs) was very helpful.
        
        To get started clone this repository, and create a virtual environment:
        
            git clone https://github.com/sspickle/genlatex.git
        
            cd genlatex
        
            python -m venv venv
        
            source venv/bin/activate  # mac/linux
            ./venv/Scripts/activate.bat # windows
        
            pip install -r requirements.txt
        
            pip install .
        
        Once you have that, you can 'cd' to the directory with your template and data generator file and run getlatex using:
        
            genlatex [ options ] dataGeneratorFile.py
        
        For example to create 10 versions of the example you could:
        
            cd example
        
            genlatex -n 10 tlo-EX-Data.py
        
        Then check in the example folder for your .tex files!
        
        To convert to pdf en-masse, with bash:
        
            find *.tex |  xargs -n 1 pdflatex
        
        To export to a .zip for import into an assessment first copy the pdf files to 
        a staging directory for zipping.
        
            cp tlo-2v1/*.pdf ../export/output/attachment/genlatex/quizzes/contents/
            
        Next cd into export and run the `buildZip.sh` script.
        
            cd ../export
            sh buildZip.sh
            
        There should be an 'export.zip' file in the 'export' directory.
        
        I'm no longer keeping quiz sources in this repo, for obvious reasons!
        
        Students are smart. ;-)
        
        Update: Now you can run the full docker (Dockerfile-w-latex) version:
        
            docker run --rm -it -v `pwd`:/work/src genlatex-full doExport.sh -n 10 tlo-EX-Data.py
        
        Or the mini-docker (Dockerfile)
        
            docker run --rm -it -v `pwd`:/work/src genlatex buildTeXs.sh -n 10 tlo-EX-Data.py
        
        to build the mini-docker (without a full LaTeX install ~1.4GB)
        
            docker build -t genlatex .
        
        to build the full docker build (with a full LaTeX install ~7GB)
        
            docker build -f Dockerfile-w-latex -t genlatex-full .
        
        CHANGES:
        
        	v 0.12: Added units to formatters (e.g., latex_float(2.31, units="m"))
