Automatically Move Auxiliary Files to Subdir with Auto-Compiling Vimtex











up vote

I've seen numerous ways to move auxiliary files to a given directory via latexmk, or pdflatex (ex. latexmk -auxdir=/tmp <file>). But I am using vimtex with auto-compiling, so that whenever I save my tex file, it is automatically compiled and my pdf viewer (just using evince) is updated too.



What I'd like is for vimtex to create a subdir called aux in whichever directory my current texfile is, and put any of these auxiliary files in there at each compilation -- keeping just my .tex and .pdf file in the working dir. I feel like I should be able to specify this in .latexmkrc but haven't read any mention of specifying such settings there.

  • Note that /aux would be a directory in the root of the file system and not the current directory. ./aux or aux is what you mean, I take it.

You can mostly achieve this using vimtex's build_dir setting (see vimtex help :h vimtex_compiler_latexmk and this conversation explaining that "this allows to define an output directory where all generated files are put when compiling".). However, your pdf will also be moved to this directory.

  • Yeah the pdf going to that directory is not ideal. The ideal would be to separate the auxiliary files from the desired, generated pdf file.

A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

Image
0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...

Calculate evaluation metrics using cross_val_predict sklearn

1 In the sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_predict page it is stated: Generate cross-validated estimates for each input data point. It is not appropriate to pass these predictions into an evaluation metric. Can someone explain what does it mean? If this gives estimate of Y (y prediction) for every Y (true Y), why can't I calculate metrics such as RMSE or coefficient of determination using these results? python scikit-learn cross-validation share | improve this question edited Nov 28 '18 at 17:52 desertnaut 20.3k 7 43 79 ...
