too complex #38

Dear Michal, I was looking at the scripts and trying to run them and they are too complex. There is to much stuff there. To give you an example the instruction edit 05_get_the_columns.sh to change the languages is quite challenging. Upon opening that script I am confronted to what looks like gibberish. It is really difficult:

To be totally honest I think you have two options :

I canot help on the tex part, but the more genarl scripts, yes. Yet at the moment i have no time.

Prefer option 2 :)

ATM this is a prototype there should be a wrapper as long as the source (google-spreadsheets) are not consistent and changing every few hours it takes time to catch up changes Normalizing data will give time to create useful and readable scripts

Many one-liners were meant as some kind of test-an-idea - and were kept as they are (works-for-me). So: Code-cleanup needed and anybody who wants to help is welcome

some comments on the example: sheets - need to create running templates and datasets first the languages need to be matched - a new line containing language-codes for parsing is needed in all sources outputsize, orientation ... there is a lot of work to do.

Whatever you want or need, just yell :)
