The script generates either a LaTeX or a Markdown - YAML snippet. The script has been tested only on a Linux platform, but should work on any platform running bash + zenity. \end{abstract}% %\tableofcontents{} % \section{Dependencies} The programme requires a bash shell and \textsf{zenity} version 3.xx. \textsf{Zenity} is a GTK+ lightweight tool -- standard in most Linux distributions -- that outputs message windows, error windows and the like.
