LaTeX Homework Generator

This Yeoman generator creates the skeleton for a homework assignment done in LaTeX.

Installation

First, you must have Yeoman installed.

yarn global add yo

Then cd to wherever you are storing your homework and add this generator:

yarn add generator-latex-homework

Usage

To start a new homework assignment:

yo latex-homework

If you use no arguments, as above, then Yeoman will prompt you for the necessary information. Otherwise, you can pass it through the command line:

yo latex-homework <homework-number> <questions> <name>

Where <homework-number> and <questions> are positive integers, the first representing which homework assignment, and the second representing the number of questions. <name> is a string: the author name which will appear on the paper.

Notes on the LaTeX document

The base LaTeX document makes use of several useful packages which should be installed:

• amsmath
  • For Mathematical formulas.
• graphicx
  • For including images.
• geometry
  • For image layout.
• minted
  • For source code (requires Python: uses Pygments to render the code with syntax highlighting.)
• hyperref
  • For hyperlink references.
