TexCreate v3 Betas!!!

I would like to announce that a few days ago I had published the first beta of TexCreate version 3. I had written a guide on getting started in the TexCreate Github repo and instead I will dedicate this post to cover what's been implemented and what needs to be worked on before v3.0.0 is considered stable for me.

To view the other projects that are related to TexCreate v3, take a view at the texc_v3_sources repo

What's been implemented

  • TexCreate repo template system
    • Storing latest repos in the $HOME/.texcreate directory
  • Custom template support
  • Proper project structure creation
    • An issue with version 2 was input paths that would cause compile errors

What needs to be worked on

  • TexCreate.com proper front end to show latest and older releases
  • Documentation for ...
    • texcreate
    • texcore
    • texcreate_gen
  • Figuring out how to compile LaTeX asynchronously

Features to be implemented

  • extra feature:
    • make command
      • Would add makefile option to config
    • compile command
      • Would add compiler option to config
  • Considerations
    • web command for local web interface
    • generate command for interaction with texc_gen

Templates to be added from v2

Note currently v0 only contains the basic template

  • code
  • dictionary
  • lachaise
  • lachaise_modified
  • news
  • novel
  • theatre
