extract – Extract parts of a document and write to another document
The package provides the means to extract specific content from a
source document and write that to a target document. One could,
for instance, use this to extract all exercises from lecture notes
and generate an exercises book on the fly.
The package also provides an environment which writes its body
entirely to the target file. Another environment will write to
the target file, but will also execute the body. This allows to
share code (for instance, a preamble) between the source document
and the target file.
Finally, the package provides an interface to conditionally
extract content. With a single package option, one can specify
exactly which commands (counted from the start of the document)
should be extracted and which not. This might be useful for
extracting specific slides from a presentation and use them in a
new file.
