latex_headers

A repo for keeping our shared latex headers

1. under the \\documentclass line in your latex file type
2. \\input{|"curl --stderr /dev/null https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Billingegroup/latex-headers/main/latex_headers/<header_name>.tex"} for each file you want to include. Recommended at the time of writing is cmds_general.tex, cmds_programs.tex and packages.tex
3. or \\input{"wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Billingegroup/latex-headers/main/latex_headers/packages.tex"} (note, this command has not been tested, please fix if it needs to be updated)
4. when you compile the latex add --shell-escape to your latex command. e.g.,
5. latex --shell-escape <filename>.tex or
6. pdflatex --shell-escape <filename>.tex

Crib: copy-paste this into your file below the documentclass line:

\input{|"curl --stderr /dev/null https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Billingegroup/latex-headers/main/latex_headers/cmds_general.tex"} \input{|"curl --stderr /dev/null https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Billingegroup/latex-headers/main/latex_headers/cmds_programs.tex"} \input{|"curl --stderr /dev/null https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Billingegroup/latex-headers/main/latex_headers/packages.tex"} %
% to compile, use
% pdflatex --shell-escape <filename>.tex
