Can define the entries of table separate from the table?

So, basically I want to create a table with two columns "Paper Number" and "Description" and they are text based entries as in heavily text based.



So, can I define a format such that when I write further in the document something like 



{

    paper_name = "Some Information Here",

    description = "Some Description here"    

}


the latex will automatically add this data as entry in the table. This helps in organization of latex document and makes it easy for further editing. Any help or source is appreciated? I am pretty new to Latex, so please keep it simple.



EDIT: The Description is usually an small paragraph. I cannot represent that csv.

  • Look at csvsimple. You can create a comma (or semicolon, or pipe, or tab) separated text file and then transform it easily in a LaTeX table.

  • In general, parsing JSON-like formats with TeX won't be "simple", because curly braces are the grouping tokens and straight quotes might be active. What is pretty simple is e.g. CSV for LaTeX or XML for ConTeXt.

count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets

up vote 6 down vote favorite 1 This program is for count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets I am confusing here return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); can some one explain what is happening here? why we are multiplying with k? NOTE->I know this is not the best way to calculate number of partitions that would be DP // A C++ program to count number of partitions // of a set with n elements into k subsets #include<iostream> using namespace std; // Returns count of different partitions of n // elements in k subsets int countP(int n, int k) { // Base cases if (n == 0 || k == 0 || k > n) return 0; if (k == 1 || k == n) return 1; // S(n+1, k) = k*S(n, k) + S(n, k-1) return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); } // Driver program int ma

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{
