Knowledge Pre-Processor for LaTeX

knowledge-pp

Preprocessor for the knowledge LaTeX package.

Status

This is a proof of concept, do not use it. An example document can be found in examples/ along with a Makefile to generate a document called main.pdf.

Wanted Features

1. LSP support via https://github.com/openlawlibrary/pygls
2. Strongly terminating
3. Lexical scoping by default
4. Contexts à la React (dynamic scoping)
5. Hooks for custom DSL languages, that are left un-interpreted
6. A math mode as a custom DSL

How to use

Given a valid document, you can simply run

kwpp my_document 

To get the corresponding LaTeX output.

In practise, this is intended to be used in a workflow using a Makefile, or the specific input triggers from latexmk.

Devel using virtualenv

Using virtualenv and the --editable option from pip3 allows for an easy setup of a development environment that will match a future user install without the hassle.

For bash and Zsh users

virtualenv -p python3 kw-devel
source ./kw-devel/bin/activate
pip3 install --editable .

For fish users

virtualenv -p python3 kw-devel
source ./kw-devel/bin/activate.fish
pip3 install --editable .
