That sounds good, I hope you can do that.
btw, it would be better if you provided a proper Octave package of
your toolbox. What are the chances of doing that?
That depends on how much needs to be done. Some issues:
1) The main thing is the documentation, I cannot convert that to Octaves
format, too much work has gone into structuring that nicely in another
format (reStructuredText), and I would like to keep it in that format.
Currently LTFAT comes in at around 300 functions, with a 180 page manual,
http://ltfat.sourceforge.net/doc/ltfat.pdf
2) LTFAT is itself structured into directories, so it is already a
collection of small "packages".
3) LTFAT is hosted on Sourceforge it a Git repository, and I would like it
to stay there, as I can easily control who has write access, for instance if
a ph.d. student needs to submit or cleanup a few files.
If we can just create a package specification file that installs the whole
toolbox, it would probably be doable, but I don't know if that is acceptable
for Octave forge, or if LTFAT becomes to "alien" compared to the rest of the
website.
I might be able to create a script that converts reStructuredText to
texinfo. Does texinfo supports Latex formulas, images and citations? If so,
I can convert the TeX output. If not, I can convert the text output.
btw.: We will be at the OctConf (just not registered yet).
Cheers,
Peter.
