When one Latex file is
- edited with multiple collaborators with their own mark commands
\alice{...}, \bob{...}, - revised with mark based on comments from reviewers,
there are many commands with curly brackets in the Latex text. This tool could remove target commands to obtain a clean source file of the manuscript for submission to arXiv, conference, and journal.
Run with Python 3.7. Copy *.tex files to be processed into ./input/ and run:
python CB_remove.py -k "revise textbf"Or customize input and output paths, absolute paths are recommended.
python CB_remove.py -k "textbf" --input_dir "./outThere/" --output_dir "./somewhere/"The string after -k determines the commands that need to be removed. In the above case, \revise{...} and \textbf{...} would be removed from the input Latex files.
Specifically, for -k "revise textbf", input file with text:
\hl{Can you} \revise{can a \textbf{can} as a \emph{canner} can} can a can?
would be converted to:
\hl{Can you} can a can as a \emph{canner} can can a can?
