Question

Scenario: I have a main Latex file (main.tex) in which I include a subfile (appendix.tex) using the subfiles package.

Role of appendix.tex: It further includes all the appendices as subfiles kept in an appendix subfolder, so that I just need to include the appendix.tex in the main.tex file.

Current Situation: I have to manually list the appendices in appendix.tex which can be cumbersome to manage.

Target: I want to create a foreach loop kind of thing in the appendix.tex file such that it looks in the appendix subfolder and includes each of the .tex files present in it.

Question: How can this be done?

Answer 1

This can be relatively easy implemented with python.sty from here. This would require you to make sure that the style file and python is available on all machines were you plan to compile this document, but should be more portable than using shell scripts or preprocessors like cpp.
