php-latex-renderer
==================

[](#php-latex-renderer)

wraps latex rendering and generating with twig templates. This library does

- using twig for latex templating
- inserting user data into latex templates
- escaping user data, so no (new) latex commands can be introduced by userdata
- renders latex file and returns pdf
- has compact latex error logs

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Installation via composer is suggested

```
composer require open-administration/php-latex-renderer

```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

```
require './vendor/autoload.php';

$tex = new LatexRenderer('./templates/'); // setTmpDir('./runtime/'); // renderPdf('simple-report', [ //  'My Custom Title', //  'Me!',
]);
// output / save the pdf with
file_put_contents('main.pdf', $pdf);
// or echo with fitting header
header("Content-type:application/pdf");
echo $pdf;
```

### Twig options

[](#twig-options)

The following symbols are used for twig templating

```
$options = [
    'tag_block' => ['(%', '%)'],
    'tag_comment' => ['(!', '!)'],
    'tag_variable' => ['((', '))'],
];
```

due to `{{`, `{#` and `{%` are too common in regular latex code. Be carefull with `((` it is easy to use it in calculations as well. You can use

```
$tex->setTwigLexer($options)
```

for custom variants.

### Meta Twig Context

[](#meta-twig-context)

There is a new introduced global variable `_tex`, which can be used everywhere and is defined like:

```
$this->twig->addGlobal('_tex', [
    'files' => $fileNames, // with name.pdf => files/name.pdf (local path in dir)
    'dir' => $tmpDir . "tex/$templateName/$uid/",
    'template' => $twigTemplateName,
]);
```

Example: `_tex.dir`

### Try the sample

[](#try-the-sample)

```
php -f samples/simple-report.php

```
