** tabfmt tabfmt formats LaTeX tables based on the width of their widest cells

*** Installation

#+begin_src shell
  go install github.com/ntBre/misc/tabfmt
#+end_src

*** Usage

=tabfmt= just reads from Stdin and writes to Stdout, so you can do
something like this:

#+begin_src shell
  tabfmt < table.tex > new_table.tex
#+end_src

but the intended usage is inside of your editor. In Vim or Emacs
evil-mode, you can select a table visually and filter it through
=tabfmt=, assuming it is on your PATH, with something like

#+begin_src text
  :'<,'>!tabfmt
#+end_src

For Emacs, I use the following function:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun tabfmt ()
"format a LaTeX table using the tabfmt program"
(interactive)
(save-excursion
  (let ((start (search-backward "\\begin{tabular}"))
	(end (search-forward "\\end{tabular}")))
    (shell-command-on-region start end "tabfmt" 'replace 'no-mark))))
#+end_src

You probably need to include =(add-to-list 'exec-path "~/go/bin")=
somewhere in your init file for Emacs to find the =tabfmt=
executable too, assuming =~/go/bin= is your GOBIN directory.

** orgtab orgtab converts Emacs org-mode tables to LaTeX tables

** pdfinfgo pdfinfgo converts the output of pdfinfo to a format useable by BibTex. I use it along with entr to automatically generate citations for PDF files I add to my references directory

** fctab fctab formats force constants from Spectro input files into LaTeX tables for reporting in SI sections of papers

** regexpl regexpl is a simple command line regex tester for Go

** tmpcln tmpcln is a utility for deleting tmp files on the nodes on Maple

** matrview matrview is a tool for viewing what parts of matrices meet conditions. I used it for deriving expressions for the number of points a Cartesian pbqff calculation would entail, so it's pretty cluttered from that. The actual matrix visualization part may be more broadly applicable though.

** stripcite stripcite is a very basic tool for grabbing the \cite{} commands out of a LaTeX document
