Basic inheritance example¶
This example shows basic document generation functionality by inheritance.
The code¶
from pylatex import Document, Section, Subsection, Command
from pylatex.utils import italic, NoEscape
class MyDocument(Document):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.preamble.append(Command('title', 'Awesome Title'))
self.preamble.append(Command('author', 'Anonymous author'))
self.preamble.append(Command('date', NoEscape(r'\today')))
self.append(NoEscape(r'\maketitle'))
def fill_document(self):
"""Add a section, a subsection and some text to the document."""
with self.create(Section('A section')):
self.append('Some regular text and some ')
self.append(italic('italic text. '))
with self.create(Subsection('A subsection')):
self.append('Also some crazy characters: $&#{}')
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Document
doc = MyDocument()
# Call function to add text
doc.fill_document()
# Add stuff to the document
with doc.create(Section('A second section')):
doc.append('Some text.')
doc.generate_pdf('basic_inheritance', clean_tex=False)
tex = doc.dumps() # The document as string in LaTeX syntax
