Useful math tools
- git – “the fast version control system”; great tool when collaborating on a TeX document with multiple people: automatic version tracking, merging…
- pandoc – converter between many formats, in particular markdown, HTML and LaTeX; easy to create well-formed structured HTML pages with included math formulas (supports MathJax)
- Inkscape – great vector drawing program, supports automatic export of images to
.pdf
,.ps
,.dvi
with labels stored in LaTeX latex-flatten
– Python script for flattening LaTeX files by inlining included files.
