Setup Initialize `scitex-writer-demo-` project at `./scitex-writer-demo-` for this demonstration. *** 2. Structure Show us the document structure. Clean up existing contents to be empty for fresh demo. *** 3. Write Content Write a self-explanatory and manuscript-like document for this SciTeX Writer system *** 4. Structure Show us the document structure. Now, contents should be filled. *** 5. Add Figures/Tables/References CRUD (create/read/update/delete) figures, tables and citations Add two figures, tables, and citations each *** 6. Compile Compile the manuscript to PDF. *** 7. Version History Show me the version history and diff between the two most recent versions. *** 8. Revision Mode Perform similar demonstration to revision: tex contents edition and pdf complation, role-playing editor, reviewers and authors * Emacs Org Mode Setup (DO NOT CHANGE THIS SECTION) #+begin_src elisp (defun my/setup-demo-org () (auto-revert-mode t) (run-with-timer 0 5 (lambda () (when (derived-mode-p 'org-mode) (org-display-inline-images))))) (my/setup-demo-org) #+end_src * Progress ** Phase 1: Setup [COMPLETED] -
