Basic Usage

With python -m coplen --help:

usage: __main__.py [-h] [--language LANGUAGE] [--output OUTPUT]
                   [--template TEMPLATE]
                   input_file

positional arguments:
  input_file

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --language LANGUAGE
  --output OUTPUT
  --template TEMPLATE

The language comes from a JSON file, for translation purposes. Template is a template file in whatever format you may want, including TEX, using default Jinja2 syntax.

So, using examples/plan.json as an example:

$ python -m coplen --template coplen/templates/ufsc.tex --output examples/plan.tex examples/plan.json

In examples/ directory, there is a makefile to generate the plan PDF:

$ make -C examples

The makefile is configured to generate a file examples/plan.pdf using xelatex (you may change on your own), so you can check the result.
