This bash script compiles a LaTeX document written using the multiaudience package into multiple pdf files, one for each audience specified.

To make it work you must have the multiaudience package installed on your system, as well as latexmk. You need \usepackage{multiaudience} in the preamble.

If you run ./psht your-tex-file.tex, psht will assume that there are two audiences defined, students and tutors. This means you must have \SetNewAudience{students}, and \SetNewAudience{tutors} in the preamble. It will create your-tex-file.pdf and your-tex-file_SOLUTIONS.pdf. Compilation is done using latexmk and the auxiliary files are removed afterwards.

Surround the parts of the LaTeX document you want to appear ONLY in the solutions file with \begin{shownto}{-, students} ... \end{shownto}. The - is negation.

A test file called test.tex is included as illustration.

If you supply more arguments after the filename, e.g. ./psht your-tex-file.tex a b c psht will compile a version of the document for each additional argument arg, with the audience set to arg. The filenames will be your-tex-file_arg.pdf.

A test file called multiple_audiences.tex is included, which has three audiences a, b, and c.
