Flatex

This is inspired by the C program "flatex" for flattening a LaTex project that uses include statements. It is not a fully backwards compatible bug for bug re-implementation.

Basic usage

The basic way to use this program is to navigate to the directory with your highest level .tex file and simply call

python3 -m flatex <top_level.tex>

Then this program will output a fully expanded version

Caveats

This will not handle nested include statements

Testing

To run unit tests run the following command from the root of the project

python3 -m unittest tests.test_flatex
