Revising Overleaf/LaTeX articles using latexdiff

Preparation

1. Go to the Overleaf website and move your original files in a new folder. For example, I would first make a folder: org and copy all the originally submitted files there. Or if you already have originally submtted files in a separate folder, I would rename it to org. These files should be not be changed, because these files will be compared with your revised files for making track changes in PDF.

2. Make a folder for revised files. For example, I would make a new folder, named rev.

3. Copy the files in the org folder to the rev folder. I found no straightforward way to copy files between different folders in Overleaf. So I download original files from the org folder to my hard drive, and then upload those files to the rev folder.

Some python modules for data fitting

lmfit provides better tools for fitting, but for some legacy codes, mpfit works pretty well. Just in case I need one in the future.

I do not want to have any duplicates through macports including python. But I wanted to have nano through macports.

1. Install nano highlight files in ./nano-highlight (download from https://github.com/serialhex/nano-highlight)
2. Go to /usr/local/texlive/ and delete all previous versions before 2017.
3. Clean up macports using the method in: https://guide.macports.org/chunked/using.common-tasks.html
4. Repeat “port echo leaves” and "sudo port uninstall leaves" until remove everything I do not need.
