Automating announcements and making & applying covers
I (GQMJr) have written some programs to help examiners make announcements & calendar entries for oral presentations and for making & applying a cover to a thesis. Note that these programs only work with the latest version of my latex template.
Further details can be found in my draft proposal for a standard template. Download my draft proposal for a standard template. (Updated with a modified usability section, a section of actual examples - using the latest Cortina API, and some possible enhancements. Note that a number of types of LaTeX equations are now supported in the Canvas course room announcement and calendar as will as the Cortina Calander. Also acronyms are now supported in abstracts.)
This is not production code, so use it at your own risk. Let me know via maguire@kth.se if you have any problems.
