I think you cannnot use "\" as normal string ,it’s a metacharacter, u can use
it like this:
'\\begin{document}'

If it's Python, it's no Python syntax I've ever seen before.
>>> here it is: = '\begin{document}'
File "<stdin>", line 1
here it is: = '\begin{document}'
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
How about if you start off by explaining what you think "a cap for LaTeX"
means, or provide a link to something that will explain it? This is a
Python list, and we don't necessarily know much about LaTeX.
