What Itch does this Scratch? First let me say that I am not a lawyer, and none of the programs or text files contained in the distribution constitute legal advice. I'm just presenting the tools that I am using in case our next airplane flight goes down in flames. If you decide to make use of any or all of this stuff, that is up to you and it comes with no warrenty on my part. The PERL code involved is rather trivial. It just parses the data you provide and creates a Latex file based on a will template. The will template is based on the a collection of sample wills that I discovered online. I have done my best to include the best portions of each, while trying to respect everyone's copyrights. Requirements: Perl modules required: Parse::RecDescent - why not make life easy Template from the Template Tooklkit - or even easier These are both available from your local CPAN Latex packages required fancyhdr lastpage These are both available from your local CTAN, but are probably already installed in your Latex distribution How do I install it? Simple, just cd to this directory and run will. It assumes that the file will_master.tex is in the same directory as itself. If this is not the case, just edit the variable $location_of_will_master at the top of the file. Take a look at sample_will.txt for an example of how to create your own will. Just copy it and replace the sample data with your own data, then run will which creates Then run latex on (perhaps twice) and print the result. That is all there is to it.
