MIT Press Assets

Scripts and generated files for MIT Press submission.

Figure List Generator

Extracts figure metadata from QMD source files and combines it with the figure-number and page manifest produced by the PDF build:

# From the quarto/ directory, before rendering:
python3 scripts/mit_press/generate_figure_list.py --clear

# Post-render runs automatically for the production PDF. To rerun it:
python3 scripts/mit_press/generate_figure_list.py

The generator writes FIGURE_LIST.txt into the active PDF output directory. Run it only after a fresh render so the LaTeX manifest, figure numbers, and page numbers correspond to the current manuscript.

Output Fields

Field	Description
Figure Number	Chapter.Figure format (e.g., 1.1, 2.3)
Label	Source reference (e.g., fig-ai-timeline)
Caption	Full caption text
Alt-Text	Accessibility description

Tracked submission logs

• PERMISSIONS_FIGURES_VOL1.csv records source and permission status for every Volume I figure. It is source-based and can be maintained without a render.
• The generated FIGURE_LIST.txt is a build artifact and is intentionally not tracked in this directory.

Validate that the permissions log covers the current QMD figure inventory:

python3 scripts/mit_press/check_permissions_log.py

Before final submission, require every permission scope to be resolved:

python3 scripts/mit_press/check_permissions_log.py --require-resolved
