notes

Markdown to LaTeX pdf script converter using pandoc \ It's main purpose is to compile singular or multiple markdown files to pdf \ This allows for quick note taking and in future note reading

Usage

1. Give yourself executing permission via chmod +x notes
2. Consider installing this script into /usr/local/bin
3. Autocompletion functionality (Optional)
   1. Change the NOTES_DIR in autocomplete.sh to fit you, then edit your ~/.bashrc file and add source your autocomplete script Give the location of this github repo, in my case I put source ~/Documents/gits/notes/autocomplete.sh, save and exit the ~/.bashrc file
   2. Source your ~/.bashrc file using source ~/.bashrc
   3. Autcompletion for -w, -r, -p, -O flags only work when you are inside your year/sem/directory folders
   4. Autcompletion relies on user to type commands in, if pasting a command, then autocompletion will not work

      
      Usage:
      notes  [-y <year>] [-s <semester>] [-d <directory>] [-l] [-w] [-r] [-p <pdf name> &| -o] [-O <pdf name>]
      notes  -h | -v | -l | -e

Options: -y enter year of course e.g. Year3 -s enter semester of course e.g. Sem1 -d use directory within NOTES_DIR or absoulte directory to compile pdf -p name of pdf (with extension) -o open newely created pdf -O open pdf -w Write a markdown file, if file exists will open file -r Remove a file (with extension) -h print helptext -v print version -l list current directory -e output examples on how to run programme

Notes: Make sure to change the NOTES_DIR variable to suit your directory All markdown files will be sorted based on "> Date: dd-mm-yyyy \" which is expected to be somewhere in the file. This will be later used to compile to LaTeX
