Scripts for extracting figures / captions from FASER papers and creating webpages from them

• make_webpage.tar.gz
• process_faser_tex.py.txt

FASER LOI example:

• loi_web_display_test.tar.gz: loi_web_display_test.tar.gz Test webpage displaying figures from FASER papers

The `process_faser_tex.py` script in the attachments extracts the figures and captions from FASER papers. To use this, download the script and run the following at the command prompt:

./process_faser_tex.py -i path/to/input.tex

with `path/to/input.tex` replaced with the actual name of the input file.

Running this creates an output directory called `script_results` (or specify the output directory name using the -o/--output option) containing the figures (e.g. fig_01.pdf) + captions (e.g. fig_01.txt). One caveat is that any references in the captions need to be updated by hand (though the FASER-specific reference commands are still processed, e.g. `\figref{FigureReferenceName}` —> `Fig. (???)`).

To squelch the warnings about the image format (.pdf or .eps are recommended), run with the `-I`/`--ignoreImageRecommendations` option. For a list of all available options, run with the `-h`/`--help` option.

Once the figures and tables are extracted into a directory using `process_faser_tex.py`, they are ready to be read into a webpage using `make_webpage.rb`. Run the latter by entering the following at the command prompt:

./make_webpage.rb -i path/to/script_results

with `path/to/script_results` replaced with the actual name of the directory created by `process_faser_tex.py`. This creates an output HTML file called `index.html` (or specify the output file name using the -o/--output option) that can then be opened from an internet browser. One caveat is that the following elements need to be added to the script results directory by hand:

• Title.txt
• Date.txt
• Abstract.txt
• LinkToArxiv.txt
• LinkToInspire.txt

where `Title.txt` contains the title of the paper, `Date.txt` the publication date, etc. A future version of `process_faser_tex.py` will add these automatically to the output directory it creates so that these will no longer need to be added manually.
