Creating Content for the LaTeX assignment starter

[burrowss]

While we currently have several sample repositories available, those probably need to be updated to illustrate the wide variety of checks that are now available. Also, we need to create a new sample repository that includes checks for LaTeX source code. For instance, we should consider having checks for algorithms, equations, technical writing references, and bibliographies. In some cases, this might require us to add new types of checks to GatorGrader. In other cases, it should be possible to use the existing checks but with very different fragments.

Hello @burrowss, thanks for raising this issue. Could you start to include examples in fenced code blocks of the kind of LaTeX source code that you think should exist in the sample? Also, you can start to open up pull requests for the key parts of your repository. Remember, several parts of your sample repository are going to be similar to what you would see in, for instance, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java, or Python.

May need to look for $ $ for math, \cite, \begin{document}, \end{document}, \title, \author, % for single line comments, \begin{commnet}, \end{comment} for multiline comments, \section, \ref

@burrowss This is a very good insight! I think we could also look for \verbatim, \begin{enumerate} and \end{enumerate} and/or \begin{itemize} and \end{itemize}, along with \item, for lists. We could also consider doing things like \footnote.

An eye should be kept on gatorgrader#102, but you should probably design the first version of the sample lab without regular expression support.

The version of this lab works without regular expressions right now. We are going to be working on getting regular expressions working now, and then implement the whole thing into the system.
