# Purpose

The purpose of the `makegobbler` package is to make easy to gobble (drop) or ungobble
(keep) some part of your LaTeX source code, conditionally or unconditionally. The part
that is to be gobbled/ungobbled is delimited with a user-defined delimiter control
sequence.

# Installation

## Installation from CTAN

One can use the following bash script to get and install the package
from CTAN, you will need tools like `wget`, `latexmk`, `perl` (to run
`latexmk`) and a LaTeX distro :

    # make a temp dir for easier cleanup
    work_dir=$(mktemp -d /tmp/makegobbler-install.XXXXXX)
    pushd $work_dir
    # get the paquetage
    wget https://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/makegobbler.zip
    # unzip
    unzip makegobbler.zip
    cd makegobbler
    # set TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR to the installation target TEXMF
    [ -d "$TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR" ] || TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR=$(HOME)/texmf
    pdftex makegobbler.ins
    mkdir -p "$TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR/tex/latex/makegobbler"
    cp makegobbler.sty "$TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR/tex/latex/makegobbler"
    # doc generation, skip if you don't want to recompile the manual
    latexmk -pdf makegobbler.dtx
    mkdir -p "$TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR/doc/latex/makegobbler"
    cp makegobbler.pdf "$TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR/doc/latex/makegobbler/makegobbler-doc.pdf"
    # cleanup
    popd
    rm -fr $work_dir

## Installation from the SVN report

If you wish the very latest dev version possibly not yet released to
CTAN &#x2014; at your own perils &#x2014; then you may use the following
script. You will need a `svn` client, as well as GNU make.

    # make a temp dir for easier cleanup
    work_dir=$(mktemp -d /tmp/makegobbler-install.XXXXXX)
    pushd $work_dir
    # get the package source
    svn checkout https://svn.gnu.org.ua/sources/latex-makegobbler/trunk .
    # set TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR to the installation target TEXMF
    [ -d "$TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR" ] || TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR=$(HOME)/texmf
    export TEXMF_INSTALL_DIR
    # make is GNUmake
    make install README_EXT=org
    # cleanup
    popd
    rm -fr $work_dir
