Chess games are often published on the internet in Portable Game Notation (PGN). PGN files may also include notation, comments and variations.
Pgn2tex converts such files to LaTeX source code, ready to be transformed into book-quality typeset games, with diagrams, figurine notation and metadata information. Pgn2tex also handles PGN files with multiple games, making it simple to publish an entire tournament, series or league as a simple PDF.
To use pgn2tex, you need ruby (> 1.9) and rubygems installed. Then it is a simple matter of installing:
gem install pgn2tex
To use it in your program, for instance to provide you with a fairly good pgn parser, add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'pgn2tex'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install pgn2tex
From the command-line, execute
$ pgn2tex -o [output file.tex] [input.pgn]
