h1. Resources
h2. Integrating LaTeX and Sage
* On Macs
** "Embedding Sage in LATEX with SageTEX for TEXShop Users":http://faculty.essex.edu/~bannon/sp/sagetextexshop.pdf
** "How to enable --shell-escape when using pdflatexmk?":http://tex.aspcode.net/view/635399273629833626241790/how-to-enable-shell-escape-when-using-pdflatexmk
h2. Included Packages
* Minted (code formatting in Linux)
** "Code Highlighting with minted":https://www.sharelatex.com/learn/Code_Highlighting_with_minted
* Pint (units for Python)
** "Pint Docs":http://pint.readthedocs.org/en/0.6/
** "General Installation":http://pint.readthedocs.org/en/0.6/getting.html
** "Installing Modules in Sage":http://ask.sagemath.org/question/8927/how-do-i-install-python-modules-or-use-a-different-version-of-python-with-sage/
h2. Packages to Research
* "Tikz":http://www.texample.net/tikz/ - Programatic graphics
* "AstroPy":http://www.astropy.org/ - Python library for astronomical and astrodynamics calculations
h2. IPython
Alternate core engine to Sage. Pros: runs on all three platforms, natively renders PDFs the way we like, has a powerful and user friendly GUI for editing. Cons: GUI is a web notebook which requires users to have a local server running, may be missing some features we like from Sage (TBD).
* "IPython homepage":http://ipython.org/
* "IPython Wiki page":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPython
* "Web article about optimizing Python code that introduced us to IPython":https://jakevdp.github.io/blog/2015/02/24/optimizing-python-with-numpy-and-numba/
*
h2. Creating/Customizing LaTeX Document Classes
* "Creating your own LaTeX document class":http://blog.ankurdave.com/2009/04/creating-your-own-latex-document-class.html
h2. Other Interesting Links
* "ShareLaTeX":https://www.sharelatex.com/ - Kind of a Google Docs for LaTeX; open source so one could see implementing the MTK features in it and having MTK Online
** ShareLaTeX can be run in "Sandstorm":https://sandstorm.io/apps/
