Le forum de XCAS

Is there a way to not output levels that are grouped and hidden when producing Latex output?

No, you must edit manually the tex file.

Could you put an identifiable text string in the tex file before and after grouped and hidden sections?

I'll try...

Thank you. The more I use xcas the more I like it. I use in in teaching. I teach Mechanical Engineering at the University of Miami. The latex output is great for handouts and explanations.

It should be implemented now: and

Thank you.

I got to try it and it works very well. Here is a sample bash script

# remove hidden sections from xcas latex printout
if [ $# -eq 0 ] # if no args
then
echo "Usage: $0 <xcas latex filename>"
echo "backup of original latex file saved in xcas_strip_hidden.bk"
exit
fi
cp $1 xcas_strip_hidden.bk # save original .tex file
gawk '
BEGIN {
printflag=1
}
/%% begin hidden group/{
# print "found:", $0
printflag=0
}
/\\end\{document\}/{
printflag=1
}
/%% end hidden group/&&printflag==0{
# print "found:", $0
printflag=1
next
}
printflag==1{
print
}
' xcas_strip_hidden.bk >$1

works good in Cygwin
