CSVTex: CSV to LaTeX Table Converter

A lightweight Haskell utility designed to convert standard .csv files into professionally formatted LaTeX tabular environments. This tool was developed to streamline the inclusion of simulation data into academic papers.

Features

• Automatic Header Detection: Uses the first row of the CSV as the table header.
• LaTeX Special Character Escaping: Automatically handles characters like _, &, %, $, and # to prevent LaTeX compilation errors.
• Customizable Environment: Generates a standard table and tabular block with horizontal rules (\hline).

Usage

1. Using the Haskell Interpreter (No compilation required)

runghc csv_to_latex.hs data.csv

2. Using the Compiled Binary

./csv2tex data.csv

Input/Output

• Input: A standard comma-separated values (.csv) file.
• Output: A LaTeX (.tex) file with the same base name, containing a ready-to-use table environment.

Requirements

• GHC (Glasgow Haskell Compiler): To compile or run the script.
