Efficiently manage and automate LaTeX based academical works

Jorge Martínez / Website / Posts / LinkedIn / Publications / Contact / About

I am an aerospace engineer and astronomer interested in astrodynamics, orbital mechanics and scientific computing. In my free time, I contribute to various open-source organizations whose main goal is to enhance the quality of modern science.

Astrodynamics and orbital mechanics

• poliastro interactive Astrodynamics and Orbital Mechanics in Python.
• lamberthub A collection of Lambert's problem solvers implemented in Python.

Ansys and PyAnsys

• PyMAPDL Pythonic interface to MAPDL.
• PyAEDT AEDT Python Client Package.
• PyFluent Pythonic interface to Ansys Fluent.

Publications

• A critical review on the state-of-the-art of Lambert’s problem

• Lambert's problem algorithms: a critical review

• poliastro: a Python library for interactive astrodynamics

• Interstellar Interceptors. Mission design for rendezvous with objects in hyperbolic orbits.

escriba's Issues

Cannot remove *.lot and *.lof files using `make clean` rule

In the Makefile, different junk files generated by LaTeX are defined so those can be easily removed from the project's directory if user wants to do so:

escriba/{{cookiecutter.escriba_project}}/Makefile

Lines 40 to 46 in 1291b71

	JUNKFILES := $(AUXFILES) $(AUXFILES) \
	$(BAKFILES) $(BBLFILES) $(BCFFILES) $(BLGFILES) $(BLXFILES) \
	$(GZFILES) \
	$(LOFFILES) $(LOGFILES) $(LOTFILES) \
	$(OUTFILES) \
	$(RUNFILES) \
	$(TOCFILES)

However, for some reason, the files with suffix *.lot or *.log are not being deleted when calling the make clean rule. They are defined exactly in the same way as other similar files. Not sure why the rule does not apply to these particular two types of files...

Improve customization options

It is difficult to provide all possible customization options for a template, as every project is unique. However, the could improve the current ones by introducing:

• The ability to choose the paper size (A4, A5...). The margins should be adapted to the new size.
• Select the language of the document.
• Ask if the list of figures and the one for tables are desired to be included.
