texcleanup

Apply some simple clean-up rules. Most of the options are fully self explanatory, except for:

--replace-command

Replace a command by another command. This can also be ‘removing’ the command and keeping just a sequence of arguments. This option is very much like a LaTeX command, but applied to the source. For example:

--replace-command "{\TG}[2]" "#1"

Applies a change as follows:

>>> This is a \TG{text}{test}.
<<< This is a test.

Note that the number of arguments defaults to 1 (above [2] fixes 2 arguments). Finally, commented text is ignored.

usage: texcleanup [-h] [-c] [-C] [-r cmd def] [-l old new] [-f]
                  [-F PREPEND_FORMAT_LABELS] [-s] [-a] [-v]
