PyLaTeX

This is the first stable release of PyLaTeX and it brings some great changes. The whole package has been refactored and actual documentation has been added. Because of this, things have been moved an renamed. One of the most notable changes is that all normal text is now escaped by default.

For the full changelog see the new documentation: https://jeltef.github.io/PyLaTeX/current/changelog.html

Added

• List classes (enumerate, itemize, description)
• Arguments for plt.savefig
• SubFigure class for use with subcaption package
• Command line argument for ./testall.sh to supply a custom python command
• The generate_tex method is now usable in every class, this makes making
  snippets even easier.
• MultiColumn and MultiRow classes for generalized table layouts.

Changed

• BaseLaTeXNamedContainer now uses the name of the class as the default
  container_name
• The Table object is going to be deprecated in favor of the better named
  Tabular object. This will take a couple of releases.
• Allow the data keyword argument of containers to be a single item instead of a
  list. If this is the case it will be wrapped in a list on initialization.

Fixed

• Propagate packages recursively add packages of sub containers
• Make cleanup of files Windows compatible
• Filenames can be paths (foo/bar/my_pdf).
• Replace filename by filepath in the names of the arguments.
• Matplotlib support now uses the tmpfile module, this fixes permission issues
  with the badly previously badly located tmp directory.
• The temp directory is only removed in generate_pdf when cleaning is
  enabled

Added

Changed
