Clean up your LaTeX files.

blacktex is a little tool, helping with the article editing for LaTeX. It removes all comments from a given file and corrects some common anti-patterns. For example, with

blacktex in.tex out.tex

the input file

Because   of $$a+b=c$$ ({\it Pythogoras}),
% @johnny remember to insert name
and $y=2^ng$ with $n=1,...,10$, we have ${\Gamma \over 2}=8.$

is converted to

Because of
\[
a+b = c
\]
(\textit{Pythogoras}),
and $y = 2^n g$ with $n = 1,\dots,10$, we have $\frac{\Gamma}{2} = 8$.

You can use

blacktex -i in.tex

to modify a file in-place.

blacktex is available from the Python Package Index, so with

pip install -U blacktex

you can install/upgrade.
