Convert T32 Grant Proposal
Build the proposal in PDF and/or Word format.
Steps
-
Parse the argument:
$ARGUMENTS = all or empty → build both PDF and Word$ARGUMENTS = pdf → build PDF only$ARGUMENTS = word → build Word only$ARGUMENTS starts with word-section → single section to Word (extract SEC= value)
-
For PDF builds:
mkdir -p build
latexmk -pdfxe -cd -outdir=build proposal/main.tex
After success:
- Report page count:
pdfinfo build/main.pdf | grep Pages
- Report file size
- Open the PDF:
open build/main.pdf
-
For Word builds (full):
mkdir -p build
pandoc \
--from=latex \
--to=docx \
--reference-doc=proposal/pandoc/reference.docx \
--bibliography=proposal/references.bib \
--citeproc \
--output=build/T32_proposal.docx \
proposal/01_background.tex \
proposal/02_program_admin.tex \
proposal/03_program_faculty.tex \
proposal/04_proposed_training.tex \
proposal/05_program_evaluation.tex \
proposal/06_trainee_candidates.tex \
proposal/07_institutional_environment.tex \
proposal/08_training_outcomes.tex \
proposal/09_diversity_recruitment.tex \
proposal/10_rcr_plan.tex \
proposal/12_reproducibility.tex \
proposal/11_facilities_resources.tex
After success:
- Report file path and size
- Open the Word doc:
open build/T32_proposal.docx
-
For single-section Word builds:
Extract the section filename from the argument. For example, if $ARGUMENTS = word-section SEC=01_background:
mkdir -p build
pandoc \
--from=latex \
--to=docx \
--reference-doc=proposal/pandoc/reference.docx \
--bibliography=proposal/references.bib \
--citeproc \
--output=build/01_background.docx \
proposal/01_background.tex

Report results:
- PASS / FAIL for each build target
- Output file paths and sizes
- Any warnings or errors
- Page count (for PDF)
-
If a build fails:
- Report the error message
- For LaTeX errors: identify the problematic file and line
- For pandoc errors: report the conversion issue
- Suggest likely fixes
