This package provides a small script like latexmk to run a or document controlled from within the document itself. The commands have to be defined at the beginning of the document, e.g.:

      %! HV lualatex --shell-escape
      %! HV biber
      %! HV lualatex --shell-escape
      %! HV xindex
      %! HV xindex  --config DIN2 -l DE -o test2.vwd <test2.vwx>
      %! HV xindex  --config DIN2 -l DE -o test2.dbd <test2.dbx>
      %! HV lualatex --shell-escape
      %! HV lualatex --shell-escape

The script itself does not parse the log file.
