Documentation

README

Excerpt

Extract TikZ Diagrams to SVG

Extract TikZ diagrams from the Beamer source, compile to multi-page PDF, and convert each page to SVG for use in Quarto slides.

Creating a brand-new diagram instead of extracting? Use /new-diagram — it scaffolds from templates/tikz-snippets/ with the prevention rules pre-applied.

Steps

Step 0: Freshness Check (MANDATORY)

Before compiling, verify that extract_tikz.tex matches the current Beamer source.

Find the Beamer source: ls Slides/$ARGUMENTS*.tex
Extract all \begin{tikzpicture} blocks from Beamer
Compare with Figures/$ARGUMENTS/extract_tikz.tex
If ANY difference exists: update extract_tikz.tex from the Beamer source
If extract_tikz.tex doesn't exist: create it from scratch

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
