C# application based on .NET platorm to facilitate the generation of pdfs based on LaTeX source files.
This project was done back in 2007, in order to help my friends to create their CVs without bothering me.
I was maintaining several LaTeX-based CVs because of the cool design... until Dokugen came out. They could modify LaTeX source code without knowing.
- Generate any kind of LaTeX document where you can predefine its input text fields
- Be able to generate your own LaTeX templates for letters, cvs, etc.
- Separate the content from the presentation
- Generate automatically UI, so that a person without any knowledge of LaTeX can get a PDF with the template that the community (me, ha!) has prepared
- Be able to save the state of your work, so that you can maintein your own documents.
The installer for Windows has packaged all the requeriments: Dokugen, MikTex and .NET 2.0 framework. The standalone application is here.
A LaTeX file with the Dokugen symbols that will generate the input text fields to be filled by the user. There are some examples here
An example for a curriculum vitae template (full grammar):
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{moderncv}
\moderncvtheme[blue]{classic}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[scale=0.8]{geometry}
\recomputelengths

Once you select the template, Dokugen generates automatically this user interface:
After the user finishes to input his text, he can output the pdf:
