README.md

Purpose

The purpose of the makegobbler package is to make easy to gobble (drop) or ungobble (keep) some part of your LaTeX source code, conditionally or unconditionally. The part that is to be gobbled/ungobbled is delimited with a user-defined delimiter control sequence.

Installation

Below TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR environment variable points at the TEXMF directory desired for installation.

Installation from CTAN

One can use the following bash script to get and install the package from CTAN, you will need tools like wget, latexmk, perl (to run latexmk) and a LaTeX distro :

# make a temp dir for easier cleanup
work_dir=$(mktemp -d /tmp/makegobbler-install.XXXXXX)
pushd $work_dir
# get the paquetage
wget https://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/makegobbler.zip
# unzip
unzip makegobbler.zip
cd makegobbler
# set TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR to the installation target TEXMF
[ -d "$TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR" ] || TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR=$(HOME)/texmf
pdftex makegobbler.ins
mkdir -p "$TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR/tex/latex/makegobbler"
cp makegobbler.sty "$TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR/tex/latex/makegobbler"
# doc generation, skip if you don't want to recompile the manual
latexmk -pdf makegobbler.dtx
mkdir -p "$TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR/doc/latex/makegobbler"
cp makegobbler.pdf "$TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR/doc/latex/makegobbler/makegobbler-doc.pdf"
# cleanup
popd
rm -fr $work_dir

Installation from the SVN report

If you wish the very latest dev version possibly not yet released to CTAN — at your own perils — then you may use the following script. You will need a svn client, as well as GNU make.

# make a temp dir for easier cleanup
work_dir=$(mktemp -d /tmp/makegobbler-install.XXXXXX)
pushd $work_dir
# get the package source
svn checkout https://svn.gnu.org.ua/sources/latex-makegobbler/trunk .
# set TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR to the installation target TEXMF
[ -d "$TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR" ] || TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR=$(HOME)/texmf
export TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR
# make is GNUmake
make install README_EXT=org
# cleanup
popd
rm -fr $work_dir
