In my opinion, it is still worthwhile to learn a VCS as it is much more flexible, e.g. Using Dropbox has less of a learning curve than using a full-blown VCS, which makes it appealing, since it is a tough sell to persuade all your collaborators to learn a VCS. It’s a matter of personal preference and, more importantly, what you can persuade your collaborators to learn. Personally, I use Mercurial, which I find more intuitive than git. Since you are only introducing an optional argument, I don’t expect you will encounter too many problems, but if you do then you can always make a new command instead via:įor 3, I would second the use of a version control system combined with latexdiff. You may be leery of redefining the \nocite command in case other packages also redefine it or depend on its syntax. This makes the syntax for \nocite identical to that for \cite. I defined a new function that takes one argument and does nothing with it: \newcommand if you do.

Today I had an idea for how to get inline comments in my LaTeX code. Of course, you can effectively leave inline comments like this (with no space between the two lines): The rain in Spain%or is it France?īut I’ve never been happy with the look of that in my code. Wouldn’t it be nice to write this? The rain in Spain /* or is it France? */ falls mainly on the plain. The chief reason I would like to have inline comments is because I like to leave little notes to myself in the LaTeX-facts that I’ve decided to omit, clarifying details, word choices that I haven’t decided on, etc. You can add comments using a % symbol, but then everything on the line after it is commented out.
In many computer programming languages you can insert comments /* like this */ in the middle of a line. I have always wanted LaTeX to support inline comments. (If you want to try these out, you can download this sample tex file and bib file that contains these tricks.)ġ. None of them are earth-shattering, but maybe they’d be useful to some of you. Here are a few LaTeX tricks I’d like to share.
