The idea of this directory is to provide shared resources for preparing publications.

Most importantly it contains the makefile with common command packages to compile latex files.

## Usage

* Add a submodule to your git repository with `git submodule add git@git8.cs.fau.de:public-repos/TexCommon.git` or `<relative path>/public-repos/TexCommon.git`
* Run `git submodule update --init` or `git submodule update --recursive` in `TexCommon` if it is empty
* Use `git pull origin master` in `TexCommon` to update to the latest version
* Add the `Makefile` to your repository with the content

```
  export TEXINPUTS:=${TEXINPUTS}:.:TexCommon
  SRCNAMES := <list of files to compile>
  include TexCommon/Makefile
```

* If `SRCNAMES` is omitted, it will be computed automatically

## Quick summary of commands

* `make (=make pdf)` complies .pdf from the root file.
* `make <filename>` tries to obtain `<filename>`, e.g. if `<filename>=foo.pdf` it will try
 to compile `foo.tex` in order to get it no matter what `foo` is.
* `make clean` removes all target files obtained by latex in one round.
* `make cleanall` removes all target files.
* `make up` uploads the compiled `.pdf` and `.ps` files on the server to the current user's directory under the same name unless overridden by `$EXTNAME` variable.
* `make show` shows the compiled `.pdf` using `xdg-open`.
* `make bibtex` runs bibtex for all `.bib` files of the current directory.
* `make bibtool` normalizes the the `.bib` files by calling bibtool with the settings given in `bibtool.rc`
* `make pack` create a zipped file of a final version of the paper (usually needs manual postprocessing)
