Required Python packages are specified in conda_env.yml
. The Python environment is specified using conda
, which can be obtained by installing Anaconda or Miniconda (recommended).
To install the environment, run:
conda env create -f conda_env.yml
This will create a new conda environment called paper_convert
with the required packages installed.
LaTeX conversion requires a recent version of TexLive. TexLive 2020 and older do not properly handle subfigures, for example.
Checking reference styles also requires the anystyle-cli Ruby gem to be installed, e.g., via sudo gem install anystyle-cli
.
Edit config.json
to adjust the paths to required applications, including the correct Python environment and path to anystyle.
messages.json
can also be used to modify the warning messages shown when something goes wrong during paper conversion.
Scripts can be run via the paper-convert-www frontend or from the command line.
If run from the command line, scripts must be run from the current directory. The result will be an index.html
file in the specified output folder, which may also include conversion_warnings.csv
containing a record of possible problems encountered during conversion. Additionally, there will be any images that are part of the paper.
Run python main_docx.py -h
to see info on DOCX => HTML conversion. The DOCX converter also produces a tmp.docx
file for some types of image conversion. tmp.docx
may be safely deleted.
Run python main_latex.py -h
to see info on LaTeX => HTML conversion. The LaTeX converter also produces a source
temporary directory in the output, which can be deleted, and a few tmp-*
files that can also be safely deleted.
